Butcher Nagel was defendant in the
Mayors court one day last week. The
charge was that of Strengthening animals
within the city limits. The proof was in
disputable and the minimum fine of $40 i'm
posed. In defense, Mr.. Nagle claimed that
he had only violated the ordinance when it
was impossible for MIN to do the work at his
regular slaughtering house outside of the
corporate limits, and that then he had al
ways been very careful to leave no room for
complaint.
Robinson's Mammoth Pavilion Shows
were in Ironton on Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week. The incessant rain pre-
vented performance on the first day, but
two exhibitions were given Thursday.
While the show is by no means the best in
the country, still, as the management is fair
ly modest aud makes no especial claims to
excellence, the program may be denominated
as fair. That is, as they charge only 20 cents
deserve did they exact half dollar per head.
A ballon ascension Thursday afternoon was
among the attractions.
Mondays Post Dispatch contains an in
teresting account of the operations of some
shell men at an excursion given by the I'm

this occasion it seems reaped an especially
rich harvest, securing, it is claimed, some
thing over $500 as the results of their honest
days labor. When the train started back
to st. Louis, though, some OF the country
victims became possessed with desire for
vengeance, and through the assistance of
some of the Washington officials the leader
of the gang was arrested at the next station,
Pacific, after considerable struggle, and
placed in Jail at that place. From the ac-
count Of the affair." it is very probable that
the "shell" crowd was composed of the same
gang that has so often visited this section on
similar occasions, and fieeced the unsuspect-
ing at will. These Sunday excursions, If
conducted properly, would be very desir-
able: as it is, little can be said in their favor.
Mr.. VIM. Searle, for so many years the
efficient and successful Mining Captain of
the St. Louis Ore and Steel Company at
Pilot Knob, has resigned his position, and
last Monday started for Breckenridge, Col
orado, where he goes to assume the super
intendency of the Mohawk Silver Mines, sit
uated near that place. These mines are
about 40 miles from Denver and 12OOo feet
above the level of the sea. Capt. Searle has
been a resident of this section for ten years
ana during that time has fully demonstrated
his ability and tact as miner: among MS
more notable accomplishments was the sue
cessful removing of the pillars without the
| loss of life both in the iron mines at Pilot
| Knob and the coal mines at Carbonate. He
has also had considerable experience in sill
yer mines and there is no doubt but that he
will make q splendid record in his new field
| He leaves Pilot Knob for the reason that
there is very little doing there, and also in
the hope that TIL great altitude of his new
| location will relieve him of the asthma, from
| which disease he has been a sufferer fOI
several years. The REGISTER wishes him
every possible success and good fortune.
