followed in the night by heavy fall @
sleet which lay on the ground all da

and Knocked out by a warm rain tn,

Several young men who would fee
themselves insulted were you to tel
them they were not gentlemen, behav
ed very unbecomingly in the presence
OF some young ladies on their way
home from church last Sunday nigh

not been arrested is perhaps owing tt
the forbearance of those they insulted
A repetition of the offence may have q
different ending.
A parade OF wagons and farm ma.
chinery enivened main street Monday
evening. II. II. Riddle thus displayed
one of the largest impOrtationS in his
line ever known to this town; but, as a
Home Marketer, we don't see how Mr..
X. reconciles this competition with
home labor and home enterprise with
his notions of the eternal fitness OF
things under the Mckinley idea. New
ertheleSs it was fine display.
No. 81, going south, about one mile
the other side of 1ip-Top, left the
track about six o'clock yesterday
morning, and of the eleven cars max
ing up the train. ten We're ditched.
A brakeman named Freeman was so
seriously injured that he may not re-

thrown clear of the track. A broken

spread, caused the accident.
The members of INDIAN r. a. Chap

The annual Methodist Conference for
the State of Missouri was held at
Carthage last Saturday, concluding its
labors on Monday evening. The fol-
lowing appointments are of local inter-
est: o. w. Rose for Graniteville, and
l.. H. Trimble. for Ironton. The
former minister is well known in this
section, and his return will be hailed
with satisfaction generally. Mr..
Trimble is stranger but we hope he
may find his sojOurn in this community
both pleasant and profitable.
In the case of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company against the St. Louis
Ore & Steel Company, the decree was
amended in the United States Circuit
Court, at st. Louis. last Friday, so as
to give recognition to the supplemental
mortgage executed to the plaintiff to
secure the first mortgage registered
bonds" the .'Chouteau bonds" and
the ELEPHANT bonds" This latter
document conveys all the machinery,
working animals. tools, rents. profits
and all property of defendant, to secure
the bonds.
John McCarty of Iron Mountain died
last Friday, and was inferred the fol-
lowing Sunday, a large concOurse of
relatives and friends following the re-
mains to their final resting-place. Mr..
McCarty was well and favOrably known
to many citizens of Iron and st.
Francois counties. 1t will be remem-
bered that he was the successful party
to the famous suit in this county six or
eight years ago, wherein Il mule was
replevined and the costs finally amount
ed to many times the value of the
property at issue. That mule suit is
one of the causes celeJres of Missouri.
There is one thing possessed by the
county of Iron in which every citizen
thereof takes a pride. We allude to
the enclosure wherein stands the court
house. The square is spacious, well
set in bluegrass, and Ornamented with
shrubbery, evergreens and trees. No
stranger that visits the town in spring,
summer or autumn but comments upon
it and commends the taste which gives
it being. The building, though large
enough, is not of the proportions es-
sayed in the more modern structures,
but it is substantial. neat and cOmmod-
iOus, and bids fair to Outlast some of
those of greater pretentions in other
counties.
With pleasure we give wider local
circulation to the following tribute to
one of Iron county's erstwhile citizens.
1t is copied from the Centreville out
look: Prof. b. Fox, the prince of
school teachers. closed an eight months
school at this place last Saturday, and
started to Ironton Monday. where he
will take much needed rest for or
10 days. when he will return and about
the first of April he and NJ. NJ. Munger
will open a three months normal at this
place. Mr.. Fox has taught one of the
most successful schools at this place
that ever was taught in the county.
Many of his pupils who had never at
tended but one school before on an eX-
animation in reading, writing, spelling,
geography and arithmetic stood an av-
erage examination. The children all
loved him and tried to see who could
get their lessons the best. Although
the term was for eight months, the
children with one accord We're sorry
when the time came to part with their
teacher and each other"
Monday morning of last week Mr..
