The lecture given last night by the Rev.
Tukushima at the NJ. E. Church was sue
cessful, and exceedingly entertaining. For
| one not educated in this country the speak
er was very fluent. He gave large insight
into the manners and custom of the people
In Japan. He showed how remarkable were
the strides Japan has made In all industries
and sciences in the last quarter of century;
the Government is appropriating largely
what is good in the best governments OF the
West. The views Of people, places, manner
of dress, and architecture, were beautiful.
But that which to some was the most inter-
esting part of the lecture was the statement
the people had been converted to Christian.
ity; this IN remarkable. The speaker said
that the people of this country had a warm
place in the hearts of the Japanese. The
lecture, with variations in matter and photo
graphic views, will be repeated tonight at
the NJ. E. Church, Ironton, for the benefit OF
those who could not attend last night. Lect-
ure begins at 7:15. Admission, 10 aud Is

A couple of weeks since several parties
from this place, and one from Neelyvile,
who formerly resided here, were arrested
and taken to st. Louis, charged with having
mailed improper matter. We give the fol-
lowing account Of the trial-so far as it has
gone-from city paper: "Mrs. Geor.iana
Hanley of Nee]yville, Mo-, who Is charged
with sending improper matter through the
mail, and Miss Julia Gunton of Ironton, who
is charged with the same offense, were be-
trict Court yesterday. Judge Thaye. ques-
toned Mrs. Hanley but her statement did
not agree with the information in the Gov
possession. Judge Thayer stated
that II he felt sure that Mrs. Hanley was tell
ing the truth he would discharge her. He
continued both cases until next Friday,
Miss Gunton's bond being fixed at $3.50, with
E. A. B. Gareschee as surety. The matter
which led to the present trouble occurred at
Ironton, Mo-, on Valentines Day last. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Hanley's story a rivalry
existed between the Gunton girl and Miss
Hattie Kesling and Miss Birdie HUFF and two |
other young ladies of Ironton. The Gunton
girl wanted to send some valentines to the |
other girls. Mrs. Hanley stated, but did not |
have the money and she furnished 1t. The |
charges are that very ugly epithets in addi- |
ton to the young ladies' names were in |
scribed ON the envelopes containing the val
entines which were sent to Miss kesling and |
Miss HUFF"
