Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1886-09-02

Formerly president Of our State University
is again In our Vicinity with his highly in.
structive and pleasing Evenings With the
stars, which he has HERETOFORE offered
In Ironton. We learn, with pleasure, tina,
he meditates favoring our people with some
OF them In the Academy of Music, mex,
Monday and Tuesday evenings. They are
FULLY and elegantly illustrated by means Of
OF Sciopticon, or Magic Lantern, and he
presents many rare and graphic scenes, both
OF the Heavens and the Bible. Should he
come, we bespeak for hin,.a large audience,
Tor we remember his work.
By request Of the Republican County Com.
mittee the REGISTER will publish the Re-
publican ticket from now until November.
We can do this with the greater consistency
since the ticket, like the woman's baby, sis
such little one." One thing may be said of
1t In contradiistinction to the usual rule:
our Republican friends have offered of their
best men to the sacrifice. Schwab for Treas
urer, Henderson for Assessor, Goulding for
Coroner, and the others, are all good men,
whose one great shortcoming is that they are
Republicans. "Here's to their very good
health, and their families good health-may
they all live long and prosper pas the most
excellent private citizens they are.
All Middlebrook came down Tuesday to
attend Justice Dinger's court. A tailor
named Boss, and wife, had had racket
about pig, with Chris. Oesterle, their ad.
joining neighbor. The aid of the law was
invoked to settle the quarrel, with lawyers.
jury and judge as arbitrator. The jury,
after hearing as tangled mass of evidence
Us was ever presented, fined the man Boss
one dollar and costs. The case against the
woman was tried before His Honor, who
thought five dollar fine about the correct
figure for her. Boss, who appeared to be
swell heeled" paid up, and asserted his will
ingDess to add $500 to the $40 expended, if
necessary, to bring his neighbor to grief.
Jno. Begley, road oyerseer, occasionally
takes prisoners confined in Jail for minor Of
lenses, and works them on the road under
guard. Tuesday he had in charge the negro
who hit the white girl at the Arcadia House
with croquet ball some two weeks ago, and
put him to work with Mr.. Ed. Bumgardner
at some distance from the main gang. John
says that Bumgardner In the afternoon
came to him, greatly agitated, and told him
that three white men, with their faces black.
ened, suddenly came upon them and took
the negro away. They had rope with them
which they placed about the negroes neck as
they took him off. This is the story as John
tells 1t. One thing is certain-the negro did
not return to the Jail Tuesday evening.

The public schools of Ironton open next
Monday, and it is earnestly requested by the
teachers that patrons will send their children
at the opening, in order that they may be
properly classified and take an even start
with the school in general. 1t requires
certain amount Of time, anyway, for pupils
to get down to the work and understand
what Is required of them, and for what they
may be best qualified, and the sooner they
start the better 1t Is for them, as they will
thereby be saved the embarrassment conse-
quent on coming in after the school is organ
ICED and in good working order. Let every
one try to be present on the first day, and
each one make it special point to see how
many days he can be present during the en-
tire term. The loss of a single recitation
not only Injuries the absent student, but all
connected with him. By the harmonious
cooperation of patrons, and the friends Of
education in general, it Is hoped to make
the public schools of Ironton second to none
in Southeast Missouri, and an institution of
which all may feel proud.
We have received a half dozen commune
cations in reference to the frauds the writers
claim to know were practiced at the late
primary election. One Of these We published
last week and another goes in this issue I'M
der the intimation that "if the REGISTER
can't give us o chance to be heard, what is 1t
here for:" The remainder, however, 60 to
the waste basket, and we beg all good DEM
ocrats to cease repining and 60 to work for
the ticket nominated. While everybody's
fayorite candidate did not get in, the ticket
is good one, and worthy the support of the
united Democracy of the county. Let there
be no more dissensioD, but rather let us all
singly and Jointly, that the frauds
complained of shall never be repeated. San
Old Democrat is right in denouncingithos
frauds, but is very wrong in his proposed
method Of righting them. Candidates who
worked honestly and honorably for the NOM
nations they received ought not be set aside
because some men, whom no one could con-
troll, voted illegally. Steps will be taken to
hereafter prevent repetition of such prac-
tees, and in the meantime let us all do our
best to uphold the party of the people by
electiny its candidates next November.

Ed. Reaister-We have had q good rain,
but corn was too far gone for the rain to do
It much good. 1t has been SO dry that every
thing has fully realized one of the great
necessities of life, water.
