| Inc New Years Season Ball and FesflVa
at New Hall House, PILOT Knob, on Tuesday
night of last week was II thorough success
in every way, as indeed is every entertain
ment given by the gentlemen who had charge
of affairs on this occasion. Notwithstanding
the unpleasant weather there was large
turnout, which, coupled with an excellent
programme, made the evening wholly en-
joyabie one. There was dancing, various
other amusements, and deicacies in the
way of refreshments without number. The
festivities continued until late hour We'd
nesday morning, wnen the merry makers
| departed, more thoroughly convinced than
ever. thatIin the ne of entertainers our Cath.
Ollie friends are hard to excel. The net re
! ceipts, we are told, were S221.50.
A second ADJOURNED term of the Circuit
Court convened Monday afternoon, for the
purpose of trying the case of State vs.
| Charles DennisOB, who is charged with as
sault with intent to kill one Chas. Bonnie, a
conductor OH the Iron Mountain railroad
at Sabula, this county, on the night Of May
9Th, 1890. The defendant had been stea ing
ride on the cars and when the train reach
ed Sabula he was ordered off. He wouldn't
go and he and the conductor had tussle in
which the conductor was shot and Dennson
was thrown off the train. He was arrested
| brought to Ironton, but has been out on
bail for some months past. Boehmie was
not seriously injured and has fully recover
ed. The lawyers commenced their argu-
ments by three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
and the case went to the jury ut little after
four. That body, up to the time of going TO
press, at ten O'Clock this morning, had not
agreed on verdict. There seems to be good
prospect for q hung jury.
Among the visitors to Ironton during Hol-
iday week was Mr.. Ed. Beard, editor of the
Milford Ulls.) independent, who came to
spend the Christmas tide with his wife, who
had been visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
FL. Farmhouse, of this city, for some time
past. Mr.. b. took an active and aggressive
part in the recent campaign IN the sucker"
Stale, and it is generally acknowledged that
much credit is due him for the election of
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Ninth District. In Iroquois county, Mr..
BPS home, the Democtats elected their en-
TIE ticket for the first time in years, the Re-
publicaus heretofore being successful by
majOrities averaging nearly 1,2"0. To say
that Mr.. B. is jubllant Is putting it mild,
and, as a recognition of his services, the
Democratic officials have put him at the
head of new paper established at Watseka,
the county seat. We trust that Bro. Beard
may continue in his fight for the right and

We learn that the Masque Ball at Bismarck
last Tuesday night was largely attended and
proved very pleasant affair, indeed. A
couple of our Valley bellies fully intended
going and were in high gIee for two or three
days previous in anticipation of the good
time they We're going to have. When the
dav came and the hour for boarding the train
arrived they donned their best frocks and,
with gladstone hearts and joyous faces, took
their way to the depot. Two happier
appearing individuals are seldom seen.
In few moments the mail train comes
snorting and painting into the depot. 1t
stops for a moment and then in cloud or
smoke and steam dashes northward toward
Bismarck and the Masque Ball. But see 1t
has left behind the two Valley bellies who, at
the last moment, have changed their minds
and decided they won't join IN the festlvi-
ties. With down-cas faces and tears In
their eyes they retraced their steps home
ward, indulging in soliloquies on the per
fidy of man." Two more forlorn little Great
ures are seldom seen. The ladies, since an
explanation has been made, now feel little
more kindly toward "man," but kno"
more than they did of the uncertainty or
Wanamaker's "blocks- of five" mail service.
OF all the business houses in Southeast
Missouri none have been more successful
than the tailoring establishment conducted
by Mr.. VIM. Trauernicht at Middlebrook IN
this county. Commencing on small scale
years ago, the proprietor has, by close atten-
ton to business and studying the wants OF
his patrons. built up trade which eXtenSs
from the Mississippi to the "Rockies" and
from Missouri to the Gulf. From ten TO
twenty tailors are employed and, in pinch'
a man can leave his order one day and secure
d suit of clothes the next. In point OF lit,
finish, and quality of goods, this house ac-
knowledges no peer. An immense Stockton
piece goods.is always kept on hand, and the
place "don't care how I look" individual,
can never fail to find something that will
please in the large assortment. The
business has grown to such proportions that
William finds himself unable to give All the
details his personal attention, and, to obve-
ate this difficulty, he has associated his
brother, Herman, with him; and the firm
will hereafter be known as VIM. Trauernicht
Il Bro. Herman, himself, is Il tailor of rare
ability and excellent taste, having served
dozen years under his brother and also some
time in St. Louis. The purpose of the new
firm is to furnish all South Missouri in par
ticular, and the world, generally, with the
best of goods at lowest prices. None but the
best of workmen employed, and not shod-
dy piece of goods in stock. With wishes for
a Happy New Year to all, VIM. Trauernicht
& Bro, Merchant Taiors, solicit you to
give them a trial, and they feel certain that
they can please.
