The Iron county Jail was for several day
last week without a boarder, and the doors
were spread wide open. Yesterday, howev
er its occupation began again. A mar
charged with demonstrating was brOugh
oyer from Reynolds county and lodged il
the bastile for safe-keeping until the courts
of that county shall have adjudicated hi
case. He is the jennings whose adventure
from the Reynolds Outlook.
Bill Fletcher, Notwithstanding he was

matics in his off lower limb, had bad cold

liam, we say, gathered himself together
Tuesday morning and departed for st. Louis
on the Arcadia Accommodation. When he
returns we will find out all about the Con

Among the changes made by the st. Louis
Conference of the NJ. Z. Church, south, al
its session, which closed at Piedmont, on
Monday last we note the following: Rev.
j. w. Worsnop has been transferred to
Jackson, and Rev. j. III. Headlee, of Belle
view will have charge of the Arcadia Circuit
for the next year. Rev. B. Z. III. Warren
goes from Belleview to West Plains. And
Rev. Chas. o. Jones, of the Cook Avenue
Church, st. Louis, has been transferred to
the Southwest Missouri Conference.
When the second section of train No. 621
pulled into Arcadia, about 2:30 A. NJ. last
Wednesday, the men discovered that the
conductor, Ed. Frazer, was not aboard. 1t
subsequently developed that he had fallen
off the caboose near the doubling switch
about one mile north of Pilot Knob. Though
no bones were broken, he was severely hurt,
and he had great difficulty in getting to the
Knob, where he was found sitting near the
old depot, completely exhausted. He was
sent to the railroad hospital at St. Louis.
While the Pennington Neacs was permitted
to publish the names of all those who voted
ty, in Iron county, where there was such an
enormous increase of Democratic votes in
two years, the poll-books were placed ia
charge of the Chairman of the Democratic
central committee with instructions to burn
them in 80 days, and Bro. AXE nor any one
else was allowed so much as small of
them. But the good Democrats of Iron will
nevertheless fall into line and elect their
ticket by the usual handsome majority
Yam Buren, Local.
You bet we will! Iron county Democrats
place principles above individuals, and "re-
form within the party" when reform is nee
essary, is their watchword.
Our public school is progressing nicely,
with an enrolment of $50 pupils; 74in the
primary grade, Sc in the intermediate, and
80 in the principals department. 1t is hop
ed that parents will take an interest in the
educational welfare of their children. This
is a matter of vital moment, and you are in
vited to so far acquaint yourselves with the
daily character of the work in the grades
where your children attend, as to judge in
telligently of its progress and thoroughness.
The teacher needs your help and enc ourage-
ment. While fault-finding almost invari-
ably results in injury to both the pupil and
the school, intelligent, judicious criticism is
always wholesome. and rarely distasteful to
the teacher. The future outlook for our
schools was never brighter than now, and it
ought to be the special care of the Board of
Education, tegchers and parents, that our
public schools keep pace with the progress
of the times.
VIM. Huff, of this county, who was sent to
the insane asylum at. Fulton, in 1869, will be
brought back to this county this week, the
authorities there having declared him incur
able Sheriff Buford will start to Fulton
for him to-day. Under the law governing
the asylum, incurable patients will not be
received, and, under the ruling of the pres
ent management, when patient in the in
stitution has been declared incurable by the
physicians in charge, he will be returned,
even after he has gained admission. In the
present case, it seems to have taken nineteen
years to decide the question of incurability.
To us it appears that an institution for the
keeping of incurables is more necessary to
the State than the other. If man or woman
be temporarily insane, he or she can be
lodged in private institution until a cure is
without very great expense; while
in the case of those who are beyond cure the
burden of properly caring for them is more
than ordinary persons can bear. We hope
the incoming legislature may make suitable
provision for the proper care of them.
