A Generous Offer.

URsULINE ACADEMY, ARCADIA, Mo-, }
December 10, 1898.
MIR. E. D. AKE-The Ursuline Sisters
and pupils of the Arcadia College have
asked me to offer their sincere sympa.
thy to the sufferers of the recent fire,
and to state that they cheerfully tender
their services in anything that will
procure assistance for the sufferers.
Permit me to suggest an entertain
ment, consisting of music, singing and
recitations, to be given for this purpose
at the Ironton Academy of Music, in
the near future.
There is, undoubtedly, a great deal
of home talent among the ladies and
gentlemen in Ironton, and the pupils
Of the College will gladly assist in
making up a programme that will at
tract our neighbors to give their mite,
and cause them to spend a few hours
pleasantly. Respectfully Yours,
L. c. WERNERT.

Mr.. J. p. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, mar.
rowly escaped one of the severest at
tacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of that state during a recent
blizzard, says the Saturday Revieu.
Mr.. Blaize had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was so
thoroughly chilled that he was unable
to get warm, and inside of an hour after
his return he was threatened with a
sevre case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug
store and got bottle of mberlain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took a number of large
doses. He says the effect was wonder
full and in short time he was breath
ing quite easily. He kept on taking
the medicine and the next day was
able to come to Des Moines. Mr..
Blaize regards his cure as simply
wonderful. For sale by P. r. Crisp,

A tramp printer-and by the way
they are very numerous these days
happened into the Office Monday morn
ing and asked for work enough to en-
able him to secure something to eat.
He was from the south and said that
the number OF tramps on the road was
simply marvellous. From Poplar Bluff
south for several miles he says that
there is continual string of camp
fires, resembling the quarters of a
large army. In some instances there
are even women in the parties. All

looking for a home. The generosity
of the people adjacent to the road is
taxed to the utmost to furnish supplies
Tor this great army; they are desperate,
however, and refusal of their demands
would probably bring trouble.
An eight-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Belcher, who live about one
mile west of Hogan was fatally burned
last Monday week. The mother had
gone to the spring, some distance away,
for water and in her absence, while
standing near the fire, the little girls
dress became ignited; she ran to the
bed and endeavored to put out the
flames, but was unsuccessful. Then
she hurried out into the yard where
her mother returning from the spring
pulled off the clothes not yet burned.
In the meantime the flames had COM
municated from the bed to the house
which was soon in flames. The little
one was severely burned, but it was
not thought it would prove serious. |
She was taken to the house of an uncle |
where she died about midnight OF the |
same day.

Obituary.

Died-At his residence in Ironton
Missouri. on Thursday, December 9TH
1898, at $40 o'clock A. NJ, P. X. CRISP
aged 6S years, 6 months and days.
The funeral took place from the res.
p. NJ, the services there being conduct
ed by Rev. T. +. G. James, of st. Paul's
Church. The remains were inferred
in the Masonic cemetery, and the
services at the grave were those of the
Masonic ritual. A large concourse OF
citizens attended.
The subject of this memorial was
born in London, England. May 2Sth,
1875, whence his parents removed to
the United States in 1928, locating first
in Philadelphia. Penn. After nine
years, the family removed to Pitts
burgh, where they resided until 1854,
when they came West, locating for a
short time time in Iowa, and finally in
| this State.
At an early age. Mr.. Crisp entered
the merchant marine and as sailor
saw nearly every portion of the habit
able globe. After several years, he
enlisted in the U. S. Navy and served
with credit under Commodore Stockton
and others whose names are intimately
connected with American history.
Quitting the sea, he rejoined his father,
and when the family came west he
came with them. When the war broke
out in 1861, he enlisted in the 4th Iowa
Infantry, being mustered in as orderly
sergeant. He served with credit and
honor, and was successfully promoted
to lieutenant and captain, and was
mustered out at the close of the war
having served nearly five years.
In 1873. he wont to Texas, and
opened drug store in Sherman. In
1878, he was married to Mrs. Vir-
ginia c. Stone, who survives him. In
November OF the same year, his drug
store was burned to the ground, and
and all was lost, there being no insur-
aaee. He removed to Monroe City,
Mo-. in 1878, and thence to Ironton in
1888.
With the passing of Capt. P. r.
Crisp the community loses a man to
whose memory attaches nothing save
that that it is pleasant to dwell upon.
His nature was genial and kindly, and
his life singularly pure and upright.
Tolerant OF the shortcomings of his
fellow mortals, and determined to seek
the good in them, he ever bore a
tongue of good report. His ten years
residence here endeared him to all who
came in contact with him and bears
testimony to his uprightness of charact-
or. his manliness and his integrity.
The sympathies OF all our people 90 to
the bereaved widow and relatives of
the deceased. May their burden be
lightened in the knowledge of his many
virtues, and the promise there is of his
sure reward.

Directed by "Spirits" Are Not Legal.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Judge Collins to-
spirits are not legal. On this ground he
held that deeds of property made by Ira B.
Eddy to Ellen McGua are void. EDDY was
an eccentric old citizen of Chicago who be-
lieved in spritualism. The McGua woman
was one of the best-known spiritualists
and clairvoyants in the city, and was
patronized by great many well-knOwn
business and professional men. including
murdered millionaire Smell. Eddy met
her about twenty years ago. and was IN
fatuated with her alleged ability to COM
muue with the shades of departed people.
She left ner husband. Edward MoGua, and
went to live with Eddy. He squandered
most of his fortune upon her. being led to
do so by statements from her that the
spirits directed it. She finally induced
him 10 deed TO her the remainder of
his property. s,tonted at Nos: 600 and and

and Eddy committed suicide three months
later. that he might Join her in the land of
spirits. HIS heirs then began proceedin rs
TO have the deed set aside. on the ground
of undue influence. and also because he
was crazy. TINS Junotpre the womans

St. Louis Bucket Shop Keepers Contribute
Many Dollars to slick" Operator.

ST. LOUIS, March 2S-A man of genius
has made his appearance in ST. Louis,
whose career has been brought to an un-
timely close and whose name Is yelled in
mystery. There is q citizen of this metrop-
oils who has solved problem supposed
to be as impossible as squaring the
c,rcle-the problem of beating the bucket
shops without risk or loss to himself. He
Is the inventor of system which bucket
shop keepers pronounce to be infallible.
and which for some time past has netted
him q neat little income varying from
$50 to S100 day. This tall
ented gentleman some time ago made
his appearance In an establishments
IN the Chamber of Commerce Building,
and began trading in New York stocks. He
was plentifully supplied with money. but
never bought more than ten shares
at q time. The number of purchases
made during the day was. however
very large He won from the
first. and little was thought OF It
until the drain of the resources of the firm
closely watched. and it was found that he
proprletors came 10 the conclusion
that they had contributed all thew
cared TO and barred the systematic
speoulator out Tho same man won in
Louisville and Cincinnati until he was
barred out there. He cannot trade in any
shop in st. Louis now. Many dealers are
anxious to know how tho scheme was
worked. but so far no one has succeeded in
diving the problem.
