Burt is four years old, near neighbor,
aud frequent and welcome visitor. He is
an exceptionally great lover of flowers for
one SO young, and as our better half has
somewhere between hundred and a thou
sand-we know, at times when the frost is
likely to nip things, and they are crowded
upon tables. chairs and stands, for security,
there's no getting safely about the house for
them-he has daisy time among them, adj
miring them, smelling them, and asking
questions innumerable all the while. Burt
is not very diffident in nature, but his "man-
ners" are good, thanks to the untiring teach
ings of her whose trouble and solace he is.
Among other things he has been taught that
sit isn't nice" to ask for everything he may
want-the store-keeper's printed injunction
to the contrary Notwithstanding. One of the
late frosty mornings Burt came over and
saw all these flowers and plants spread in
tempting array on several stands and tables.
He looked at them long and wishfully, final
ly breaking out with-"Miss' AXE, if had
whole yot of flowers, I'd give you one, jar

THE ST. LOUIS ORE AND STEEL
COMPANY.
An Effort to Settle its Difficulties With
out Foreclosure and Sale.

The local holders of bonds on the Vulcan
Iron Works held several long and earnest
conferences last week, which finally resulted
in the appointment of a committee, which is
to go at once to New York and endeavor to
effect very important arrangement with the
holders of bonds on the Grand Tower prop
erty and the Pilot Knob Company. By this
arrangement the outstanding bonds of these
three concerns are to be Jumped and taken
up by new issue of bonds, to cover the en-
tire assets of the three companies. The COM
mittee appointed to perform this duty con-
sists of Messrs. Pierre Chouteau, John w.
Noble and c. c. Maffit, and they will meet in
New York Mr.. James Clark, who has been
there for several days, and who also holds an
interest in one Of these three sets of securi-
ties. The bonds outstanding on the three
concerns aggregate about $500 900, and
there is a conflict of opinion as to how they
should rate. 1t is conceded that the Pilot
Knob bonds are worth very much more than
those of the Vulcan or Grand Tower con-
Germs, but the latter two are fighting for Sec
Ond place. That is to sey, the holders of
Grand Tower bonds insist that their hold
ings are just as valuable as those of the old
Vulcan, while the Vulcan holders insist that
they should be allowed better percentage
in the dizzy than the Grand Tower men. 1t
is proposed to take up the 100000 of the
miscellaneous paper with 100000 of new
paper, and to issue the latter to holders of
the old paper, on schedule of comparative
values which must be established by the in
terested capitalists whom the st. Louis COM
mittee expect to get together in New York.
There will be great deal of argument and
hot blood, in all probabilities, before any
schedule of values can be arranged that will
be acceptable to all the bondholders.

ANNAPOLIS, Mo-, Nav 18th, 1885.
Ed. Register-There seems to be some kind
of fatal disease among the horses at this
place. Last Friday night Judge Harris horse
died, and the next night one of J. w. Berry
mans mules died. This was the third mule
Mr.. Bergman has lost within the last few
months, but what the disease is we are una
BILE to say.
Last Sunday evening, between 9 and 10
O'Clock, young man, by the name of VIM.
Foster, attempted to steal two horses be-
longing to Billy E. Shelton, at Brunot, Mo.
He was suspected and watched, however, by
Mr.. Shelton and posse, and only succeeded
in getting the horses out Of the stable, and
they followed him up, when he left the hors-
es and fed. Mr.. Shelton was not disposed
to give him up, SO next day, (Monday), he
had posse of men in search Of him. Fos-
ter came to Annapolis Monday morning but
had left again before Shelton's men arrived
here, but after the men left Foster made his
appearance i'm town again, when Shelton was
notified by wire at Des Arc, that Foster was
here, and at half past five O'Clock P. NJ, they
had him in custody. Foster denies the
charge and was not aware of their being aft
er him. He was taken to Wayne county by

he did the crime.

Their dead or moved away. 1 do not know
which it is, but they have quit writing, a
any rate. / think "Uncle Isaac'' must bs

Our town and community has been very
| quiet for some time. Now and then the boys
get too much of John Davis's coffee, and
then they have to have what they call 'fun,''
but the coffee they drink is not of u fighting
quality.
We have about forty men at work here in
the different granite quarries, and they to-
gether with the tie interest, scatter consid-
cradle money through the country.
This has been fine time for work in the
quarries, though very dry and backward for
the farmers. Wheat and oats appear to be
ruined, while the meadows are looking badly.
Corn has come up badly and does not grow
as it ought. Old settlers here say it is the
most backward spring they have ever known.
Business appears to be better than COM
mon. Messrs. Morris and Graves, our two
enterprising merchants here, are selling
great many goods. Mr.. Morris will 60 to st.
Louis in few days to buy goods.
We had preaching here yesterday by Elder
Truett, Of Piedmont. He gave us an able
discourse. Text: "God is no respector of
persons" We have preaching here three
Sundays in the month, Sunday School every
Sunday morning, and prayer meeting once
week. So you see we are not all asleep down
here, as you appear to think in Ironton, 10y
your absence. We never saw any of you
Ironton folks down here to look after us,
only about election times, and then you are
quick to own us. I tell you we are whole
team about that time, and work well in the
political harness, and the officials of Iron
county have found it out.
We were pleased to see Judge Emerson in
our town last Saturday, and hope this will
not be his last trip. He was on counting
trip, but won't tell it.
Charley Yancey, of Piedmont, was in town
Saturday, on the same business.
A man from the neighborhood of Brunot
attempted to steal a horse from w. E. Chill

The Fairy Bridal.

We again call the attention of the public tc
the Entertainment to be given Tuesday ev.
ening of next week. 1t is to consist of 8
Concert and Cantata. The opening selec-
ton, "Strike the CymbaI," will be rendered
by "class" of young ladies who have been
for twelve weeks under Mrs. Penniman's
instruction in music. There will be Violin
Solo by Thos. Newman, a Vocal Solo by Miss
Zenana Miller, and a Vocal Solo by Mrs.
Penniman.
The Fairy Bridal will be the thing of the
evening, however. 1t is one of the most
beautiful pieces of music ever written, and
we doubt not the yonng ladies who present
it will do justice to the parts to which they
have been assigned. One very novel and in
teresting feature of the performance will
consist IN the presentation of beautiful
crown to the Queen by spider-ingeniously
made to appear on the stage at the right time.
A "Storm" scene, "Tamborine" song, and
an "Anvil" chorus will also be attractive
features. In the rear of the stage will be
grotto, surrounded by trees, with overhang-
ing vines, from which will emerge the
"Gnome" fairies, dressed in fantastic cos
TUNES, to sing beautiful songs to their en-
throned King and Queen.
We cannot speak at length Of all the parts.
We simply call attention to few.
We must not fail, however, to again re-
mind those who desire to attend that they
should at once secure their seats by calling
at W. II. Delano's store. Remember that it
costs nothing extra for reserved seat.
Thirty five cents is the price of admission to
all parts Of the house.
