Once in a while people enjoy visit tC
some of their neighboring towns and l am
one among that number. Having repeated
view Philiomathian Literary Society, con-
Guided to accept.
After supper Prof. Scott and myself made
our way toward the High School building,
and within forty-tive minutes after we ar
rived the society was called to order by its
president, the Hon. Professor. The minutes
were read, and there being no objection
made, were approved. The next in order
was short lecture on parliamentary Law"
by the President. This was given more in
the form of questions, after which all were
expected to discuss them pro ard con. At
ter this there were several recitatlons by
school girls, decamations by young men of
the high school. A ten minutes address was
delivered by Mr.. Padtield, which was very
instructive as well as entertaining. But the
most interesting exercise of the evening was
the paper. This was edited by Mr.. William
Russell and Miss Maggie Cox. AS to the
defamation and address delivered by Wis
ltor, have nothing to say.
Belleview is in a beautiful valley, well
adapted to farming as you, and all who have
ever visited it know; but the inhabitants are
the most hospitable people l have eyer met.
The High School at Belleview Is prosper
ing under the able management Of Prof.
John b. Scott, and it should prosper if there
is anything in meriting prosperity. Let the

TO Delinquent Taxpayers.

Again the undersigned finds it necessary
to remind the people that it is his duty 10
require prompt payment of the taxes due
the State and County. The law gives me
ample power to compel their payment on or
before the 1st of January, and to this end
requires me to seize and sell sufficient per-
sonal property to pay all dues and cost of
procedure. l am 10th to do this, and hence
have put off using extreme measures to the
latest moment. That time has now arrived,
and now give final notice that seizure and
sale of property will be made on all dein-
quents after the 1st day OF Feb :uary. This
will be unpleasant for me and expensive for
YOU, but it will be unavoidable. Be warned
In time. 5. Z. BUFORD,

STEPHENS.-Louiza W. Wyatt was born
in Virginia, March 10th, 1872; and came to
Missouri with her parents, when twelve years
old. She was married to Joseph L. Steph-
ems, March 9th, 1886, with whom she lived
n happy union forty nine years and six
months. They began life poor; but finished
it in comparative affiuence; all due to their
mutual industry and frugality. with the
blessing of Him whom they served: for they
were Christians. Mrs. Stephens died at her
home in Iron county, on the 22d Of Novem-
Der, 1888, three years and two months after
the death Of her husband. She has left the
heritage of noble life for the imitation Of
her children, and all who knew her.

Ed. RegiSter-Mr. f. VI. Smith and his
son, Rupert, have returned home from Gal
weston, Texas, whittier they had gone on a
hunting expedition, bringing back with them
two small sized alligatorS. Mr.. Smith con-
tracted a severe cold owing, probably, to the
change of climate, but at this writing is get
ting along very well.
W. r. Hinsdale has also returned home
from his Eastern visit looking in robust
health.
Mrs. Katie Ward, sister of Mr.. T. F..
Walsh, who has been here visitig the past
week, returned to her home in St. Louis last
Saturday. The writer hereof had the pleas
ure of forming the acquaintance of Mrs.
Ward, and pronouEces her most estimable
lady.

Mr.. Jas. Crews was married to Miss Ida

boys, however, but set 'em up big keg OF
lager.
We see the genial face of JOHNNY Parker on
our streets once more, having come from
Sioux Falls, Dakota, where he has been en-
gagged the past year at his trade, that of
blacksmithing, and we learn that he intends
returning to his mountainous home IN q
short time.
Mr.. \. W. Cloud and family left yesterday
for weeks visit to relatives and friends in
st. Francois county.
Rumor has it that Mr.. p. W. Schneider
will soon commence work on his railroad
track from Iron Mountain to his quarries,
a,
across the Fitzpatrick place intersecting the
quarry at the northwest corner. We only hope
that the rumor is true as it would give en-
plOyment to a great many men that are Just
now in this vicinity unemployed, besides
opening up larger field of granite works,
thereby inviting greater competition which
is the life of trade.
There seems to be no abating to the meas

Convert the Churches.

In our opinion the church needs to
be converts d as truly as the world. Il
needs to be turned away from its pres
ant attitude and spirit toward the un-
churched masses into one which shall
be better and more Christlike. We
do not believe that the people on side
the church who refuse to come insi le
are especially hostile to religion. But
they are suspicious of the church which
represents religion; and they are 50
because the church has allowed a mid
die wall of partition to grow up b.
tween itself and them. 1t has failed
TO keep alive within itself large % ac-
teal sympathy for those right around
it and outside Of itself. It has allowed
itself to appear before men not as the
church Of al but the church of class.
1t has failed to show that care for the
bodies and bodily lives of men which
is sure to win affection and confidence.
Thus it has suffered the people to be-
d ONE alienatei from itself. That
there a'e bright exceptions to these
statements VI e know; but we are speak
lnS vi elie d ethSe cnufcn, ne aver
age church needs conversion before it
viii be able to do the true work of the
church. 1t must be converted to that
state of mind and heart in which it
shall be able to employ its great re-
sources, its fine buildings, its trained
men, its large resources for tha saliva
ton of humanity n the widest scale.

The History OF cnnoa


The Mexicans first used canes in
America. When the Spaniards CON
quared the country a queer custom was
introduced. The chief executive Of
the town carried stick with O gold or
silver head. 1t was d kind of scepter.
The people, of course, rarely knew
now to read or write, and when anv-
one was wanted for crime one of the
Mayors subordinate5 would take the
cane, find the culprit and place it hor-
lzontally upon the latter's chest. The
proceeding was equivalent to a sum-
mons, and the man had to appear be-
fore tho Mayor under the penalty of
being cast into prison. This custom
vas borrowed from Spain, where it
still prevails in the most remote sec.

The cane of early American histo-
ry, like that of biblical times, was part

church. 1t was the principal badge of
the deacon. The cane was about five
feet long. One end was embellished
with big knob, the other with feath-

Il is queer psychological fact that
highly bred settlers and pointers, with
their instincts well developed, often
become frightened at the first real
operation of the pointing instinct, and
never recover from it. A Chicago
sportsman had we'll bred, fancy-pedi-
greed setter, which he raised with due
regard for his future usefulness in the
field, and at maturity started out to
give him trial on game. True to his
nature, the dog galloped over the fields
in the merry style Of his trained ances-
tors, and coming suddenly upon large
covey of birds, he stopped at the
scent of the birds, in obedience to his
pointing instinct. The dog had never
seen game bird, and the odor of the
eovey rose SO thickly about him that he
was fairly intoxicated with the delight
full sensation Of the point. He shiy-
cred in his excitement, and so pro-
nounced was the effect upon him that
his hair rose with his sensations. Pres
entity the birds began to rise with
noisy whirr, ana the unexpected sight
OF quails and the noise they made in
getting away so alarmed the dog that
he turned tail and ran off to hide in tho
bushes. Since that time the dogs fear
Of birds has been so great that he al
ways runs away from them. He will
hunt diligently to find birds, and he
will make his point after they are found,
but the moment he stops to point ne
recolleets his first birds, and with the
most abject expression he steals away
from the object he has worked so hard
to find This popularity is by no means
uncommon, and sportsmen have named

Sailors Not OfIen orermorked

Perhaps here it would be well TO 49,
few words about sailors and contrsA
dict some Of the romance and false
sentiment that is connected with them
by people and writers who know abso-
lutely nothing about them. We had
an extraordinarily fine crew, which /
studied closely all the way, and came
TO this conclusion: First, that Jack is
not really vicious at heart, but at he
same time he is perfect child and
easily ifuenced by any character of
strong will that he ,-bmes in contact
with, so that one man who so desires
can spoil and make Disconnected
whole crew, no matter how we'll they
may be treated by the officers. Sec
ond, they are 50 much lille children
that they even have to be told when
to go to bed, and when to get up. The
least little thing will upset them, and
| have known of whole crew coming
forward, crying and complaining be-
cause the cook had spoiled their soup.
Third, that they do not have to work
as hard, and that as a rule they are
much better fed than the class of com.
mon laboFers.
1t is all nonsense TO imagine that
sailor is an overwofked man, for he is
not. Jacks day is divided into watches
of four hours each, four on and four
off Nor does this mean that they are
all, especially III pleasant weather,
obliged to keep awake during the
hours al night when on watch, only
that they must be dressed and around.
They generally have one or two men,
chosen by lot, who keep awake and
INSTANTLY arouse the others ii any order
is given. Then they are so trained by
habit that they wake up instantly
whenever an order is given, and then
go to sleep the minute It il executed.
Of course, in stormy weather this is
different, but in storms aud I have
seen some pretty severe ones, inclul-
ing o cyclone In the Pacific there "a
