to do so. we trust, each night until
the very close. The citizens who feel
their lack of right relations with their
Supreme Father are cordially invited
to attend. as well as all others. Mr..
Taylor will be here to-day and you
will be glad to see him. Let US all
start the year 1892 in spiritually,
profitable manner. ISAAC BoRTs.
The Phantom Ball last Thursday
night was we'll attended, but the
crowd was thinner than it would have
been but for the prevalence OF the grip;
for there is scarcely family in the
Valley that has not felt or is not feel
ing the effects of the disease. But the
attendance was good, everyway, and
all present seemed to enjoy them
selves. The music wasn't in every in
stance on time, but the supper was
most excellent, and, taking it all to-
eether, the affair was a success, and
netted a nice little sum for the order.
The REGISTER comes out this week
on the half-shell. About two weeks
ago we ordered a new dress for the
paper, intending to come in with the
new year arrayed in purple and fine
linen, metaphorically speaking. Last
Saturday week we received a letter
from the type founders anafouncing
that the type would be shipped the
followings Monday or Tuesday from
ST. Louis. To have erything in readi-
ness, we dismantled and pied and
boxed up ready for shipping the old
type-and here we are! The new type
has got lost along heroad somewhere.
We are not so utterly put out as we
might have been if we had not had
past experience with the proverbial
delays and disappointments incident
to procuring printing supplies. We
cannot now recall single instance
wherein a considerable supply of
printers materials ever canein strict
ly on time. We hope, however, to
have all things regulated this week,
and paper next week that will de-
light the eye and satisfy the under
standing. In the meantime-A Happy
New Year to one and all!
The public school entertainment i'll
the Masonic building at Belleview on
the evening of the oath, was interrupt
ed by two or three parties under the
influence Of bad whisky. This brought
the proceedings to sudden and tu-
multuous ending. Arrangements had
been perfected for an oyster supper In
the public school building after the
close of the entertainment, but the
row scared nearly everybody but the
rioters away. These latter went to the
supper room and took forcible posses
sion. and it was only after energetic
methods had been resorted to at the
instance of those in rightful charge
that the drunken men were dislodged.
Prof. Light filed information next day
against the promoters of the row, and
in consequence Geo. Reed of Granite
Vile, and Jacob Meyer and Chas. HUFF
of Belleview were summoned to appear
before Squire AXE to answer the charge
made against them. Charley HUH
pleaded guilty and paid out. to the
tune of S21.3O. Reed defended himself
in brilliant though apparently not
effective speech, for the justice award
ed him S. and costs-about $27 in all.
Meyer pleaded not guilty and made
his defense through an attorney-W.
R. Edgar, Esq. But Meyer, too, was
declared guilty, and fined 81 and costs,
whereupon he took an appeal TO the
circuit court. There are two otner
parties-Wm. and Thos. Moyer-for
whom warrants have been issued, but
they could not be found, and conse-
quently have not yet been arrested.
