Mr.. Collins. MIR. Croker, and the Well.

In last weeks REGISTER, Mr.. Crockel
came out in full on the well question. One
would think, from the way he writes, thai
it would be impossible for Mr.. C.. to insult
a man or lll-treat his neighbor. Now, will
leave it to the public to judge whether 8
man possessed of the refined feelings claim
ed by hm-with all his kindness and gener-
osity to his neighbors and tenants-would
| get excited over well of wafer, because
horses were watered there, rs had been for
six years, and long before Mr.. c. came to
the City of lronton to live. No one before
him has ever found fault with it, and none
do so now, except Mr.. c. / can't see, for
my life, how 4 man of such refinement as
he, can get his stomach to relish water
wherein large dog had been drowned.
The well has not been cleaned out since. Oh
my, /, a common laborer and livery stable
keeper, with stomach capable of eating al
most anything, or drinking "np'' for two
men, have not used that water for my fami
in any shape, since the demise of said ca
nine; and sometimes think 1 ought not
let my horses use the water. But thought
my refined neighbor would not take offense
at a nice, clean horse drinking, when he
could stand the dog. However, it's every
body to his taste, as the old woman said
when she kissed the cow.
Well Mr.. Editor, this will be my last on
the well question, for rs ignorant as I am, l
refrain from using Our county paper as
cat's-paw for settling such small things, as
l think you can fill your paper with more
wholesome news than that relating to an
old well. But, as Mr.. c. said, fools ALWAYS
tread where wise men won't. If taking small
disputes to county papers is what the public
calls an attribute Of smart men, o save me
from ever being "smart" man. We, as all
men, acknowledge that we are fools: but
there is an old saying that san old fool Is
the d-st fool of all.'' Hoping the REGIS
more well, or other common disputes, from
"smart" men, l am,
Yours, respectfully, H. NJ. COLLINS.

citizens of the dis trict secured space at tn,
81. Louis exposition to begin September 4tl
| for an exhibit of the agricultural, horticult
ural, timer, and mineral wealth and of thu
building materials of Southeast Missouri

the Committee suggests the following direc.
lions for securing exhibits so that the show.
ing may be credit to the district. Samples
of wheat and other grains should be two
quarts each marked with name of kind OF
grain, name of farmer by whom grown, To-
cality and humber of bushels raised of that
quality per acre.
Specimens of mineral ores should if pos
sible be four or more and not exceeding six
inches in diameter and should be accom-
panied with name of mineral Gf known),

Specimens of mineral earths should be care
fully boxed with card showing name etc., as
in case of mineral ores.
Samples of building rocks, marbles and
GRANTEES, should be flush 10X10XS inches to
allow for dressing, if not dressed, but if pos
sible should be dressed on one edge and
dressed and polished on the next edge to
show the adaptabillty for polish.
Samples of wood should be sections six
heavily on one end and dressed and varnlsh
ed oiled heavily on the opposite end to
prevent checking. Specimens of quarter
sawed or other lumber should be three feet
long, and dressed and if possible polished on
one side to show the grain.
Special exhibits of growing corn, cotton
and castor beans, will be secured from as
many counties as possible.
All specimens except of fruits should be

Winona, Potosi. Our district includes many
deposits of ores of iron, lead, zine, copper,
nickel and manganese, developed and unde.
yeloped, also numerous lodges of granite,
limestone, sandstone, &C., and it
is the desire of the committee to have every
one represented by a sample or specimen if
possible. 1t is hoped that the local COM
mittee. will take the collection of exhibits
and their deposit at the points named, i'll
charge. A list of specimens and statement
how boxed should be forwarded as early as
possible TO the Executive Committee South

taken the full degrees. In this work, ac-
cording to the speakers statements. Gen.
Pike says that when persons are initiated In
the first degree, they are purposely deceived
and that these secrets are reserved for the
Princes of Masonry. Father Van der Erden
said that not one in 10 of the Masons, who
had taken only the first three degrees, knew
of these things he charged; that If they did
they would not belong to the order. He
ended in strong appeal to all his hearers
to remain outside the portals of Masonry"

silver Currency in England.

The London Financial Times says :
One would imagine from the gold
standard men that the United States
is the only country in the world en-
gagged in coming silver and stamping
it with a value greater than that
which it possesses as bullion. In
realitity the very opposite is found to
be the case. Tie English coin great
deal OF silver every year, stamping it
with a value relative to gold greater
than in the American dollar. There
is in England an enormous amount of
silver in circulation at what the
cranks call fiat value. The small
tradesmen in that country count their
daily receipts in silver and copper.
To one gold dollar in the till at the
close OF the days business there
will be so silver, and perhaps 100 or
two Of copper. Nor do the banks ever
refuse to accept such coin from their
depositors.

Ten Thousaad Dollars worth Of
Property Destroyed.

About $50 o'clock last Monday
evening a fire broke out in q double
wooden building on Edwards street,
belonging to Mrs. j. Straus. One OF
the houses was occupied by her son
and his family, and the other was unoc-
cupied. When the fire broke out they
we're away attending a ball, and no
one was known to have been in either
building. The insides OF both build
ings were badly burned and charred,
and all the furniture and bedding was
so much burned as to be perfectly
valueless. Mrs. Straus claims her
loss TO be 10000, with an insurance
Of about & 1000. She also claims that
she had costumes that were worth
5000, upon which there was nc in
surance. The cause of the fire, ac-
cording to Mrs. Straus' theory il, that
her daughter-in-law went down TO a
storeroom in the basement with a
lighted candle, for the purpose Of find
ing an umbrella, and in some manner
must have set the fire. Our firemen
are entitled to much credit for the
manner in which they managed the
fire. Luckily, there was a binding
snowstorm at the time, which was in
strumental in keeping the fire from
spreading to the adjoining buildings.
Had the night been cold and windy,
there is no telling how great the con-
fiagration might have been.

A GOOD
The New Railroad TO Go Through
Hercules Gap.

o. j. HOLSTER, Secretary of the
Salt Lake Chamber OF Commerce,
speaking on the projected railroad
through Nevada, has this to say OF the
outlook for business and the route
" Mineral City is in the Egan range,
through which Hercules Gap, near by,
offers an easy pass. Spring Valley
and Steptoe Valley are the finest in
the State. Any road from this city
would probably make for Hercules
Gap, near Mineral City. From there
a choice of routes is presented, one
passing through Ruby range, a dozen
miles north of Hamilton, and the
Pinto pass in the Diamond range, near
Eureka, thence nearly by way Of the
old over land to Austin, Saltwater,
Ragtown, and from the latter to Beck
with Pass, the best pass in the Sierras
from end to end. The other would
pursue a nearly direct course from
Mineral City to Tybo, south of Bel.
mont, and thence onward TO the
Walker river county, in the vicinity
of Mono Lake, and through Mono
pass into California in the neighbor'
hood OF Fresno. Duckwater and
Blue Eagle Valleys, south OF Hamilton,
largely supply Eureka and Hamilton
with grain and hay.

The Reno Gazette states that VIM.
Thorington, an early settler in Honey
Lake Valley, Lassen county, was
hanged for murder in 1855, by vigi-
lantes. A local physician, struck by
Thorington's fine physique, secured
the supposed dead body for dissec-
ton, but restored it to life through
the application Of electricity. The
coffin supposed to contain the re-
mains of Lucky Bill was filled with
stones and buried near the Averill
ranch ON the Genoa road. A Gazette
reporter, to verify the truth of the
story, recently visited the locality in
company with several gentlemen.
They exhumed the coffin and found it
contained nothing but stones. Lucky
Bill is said to be still alive in Colorado.
Rough Elliott, now under sentence
Of death for murder in Inyo county, is
credited with being one Of the men,
bers Of the vigilance committee who
hanged Lucky Bill.

The Anaconda Fire,

HELENA, Mont, March 16.-Owing
to the recent burning Of the lower
works at Anaconda, Marcus DAILY.
Superintendent, has ordered the
Chambers syndicate Of mines to be
shut down, and 600 men are now Out
of work. The loss is now estimated al
over 81 ,000, 900, and there is no insur-
ance. The works were 800 by 600 feet
and contained 40 great B~rueckner
roasting furnaces. About so per cent
of the machinery is a total loss. The
fire was undoubtedly incendiary. II
started in the center of the ore-house,
where there was no fire OF any sort.
The guards on the works have been
doubled.
The upper plant OF the st Lawrence
works is still in full blast and turning
out 800 tons daily.

THE mINEs
Producing Ore and wsiting for the
Furnaces 60 state up.

- -
Furnaces 60 state Up.
A considerable amount OF ore is
again accumulating In this district,
the shipment Of which TO the furnaces
is hindered and delayed by the
Government timber suits ; yet there is
not as much as there would be If these
suits had not been commenced. The
jackson, Of Ruby Hill, is said to be
the best producing mine hereabouts at
the present time, there are 80 tributers
at work in it and getting lots Of ore.
The tributers in the Hamburg and
Dunderberg mines are also doing well.
There are about rs men tributing in
the Silver Lick mine, which is again
looking well. These are now the
principal producing mines, but there
are a number OF others yielding ore in
paying quantities all awaiting the end
OF the Government suits for the fur
naces TO start up. II these suits are
quashed this Spring, the Summer will
bring us the best times vi have had
In Eureka for years past. In the
meantime the Richmond and Eureka
Con. mines remain closed down, 4
cept that in the former some men are
at work on days pay, timbering some
yielding ground on the 100 foot leyel
that is used by the miners as a main
passageway through the mine. The
Diamond tunnel is progressing, and
the fact of that mine g ing into the
hands Of Salt Lake people stirs fresh
hopes in those whose faith in the future
OF the camp was waning. There is a
good prospect for a new company 10
operate near the Dunderberg mine
and much else in the district that
bears encouragement for the future.

The Phoebe Record says: Last
Tuesday morning about rs feet of the
upper story Of the building on Meadow
Valley street, known as Armory Hall,
fell, smashing things generally and
almost running the stone building OF
F. w. Clute adjoining. Both build
ings have been unused for years. The
Armory Hall building cost over
500, 900 and would have been good
for years to come but for carelessness
almost criminal, bad work in building
a portion Of the northwest corner,
which defect at the time was hidden
by a small frame building.

Monday evening was a grand success
both socially and financially. but was
nearly broken up in the early part Of

from the ballroom floor and the gal

returned and enjoyed the dance until
