Mr.. VIM. j. Alfred, of Utah Terri
tory, passed night with US recently.
He had been in Washington county
for some time visiting relatives and
was on his way to Dent county to visit
Mr.. j. P. McMurtrey. his uncle, and
other relatives. Mr.. Alfred seems to
be full of zeal for the cause of the
Mormon church and its practices,
which he says are founded on Scriptu-
raj authority and behests. Mr.. A. r.
McMurtery, of near Belgrade, who ac-
complained him to Dent county, return
ed home few days afterwards.
Mr.. Townsend's saw-mill is in opera

and gave the vote on roadoverseer az
follows; Stephens, L; Highley, 4;
Thompson, IL. This with the vote in
the other precints, gave Mr.. Thompson
q majority of FIVE votes, but as the
commission had already been issued to
Mr.. Highley, the County Clerk could
take no action. Thus the matter rests
at present. Mr.. Highley has the COM
mission to the Office while the full re-
turns show that Mr. Thompson was
duly elected. County Clerk Fletcher
was, of course, governed by the law
and is in no manner in fault. The
trouble is all owing to the delay of Mr..
Williams, the district clerk, in fail
ing to make his returns more promptly;
what his excuse is has not been stated.
Whether there will be any legal pro-
ceedings over the matter between
Messrs. Highley and Thompson is not
yet known, but a compromise will likely
be effected.

From Goodwater.

Ed. Register-Since my last writ
ing to the ssRmGIsTER" we have had
call kinds of weather." Many storms
have passed over this section; most of
them noted for high winds and much
thunder and lightning as well'as for
rainfall, which in several of them was
unusually heavy, considering the dura-
ton of the storms. Though but little
damage resulted from them hereabouts,
they were so threatening at times as
to cause considerable alarm.
During the storm of Sunday, 9th
inst, it is said that lightning struck a
cedar tree in Mr.. D. S. Loves yard,
tearing up the ground considerably
about the roots of the tree, and break
ing ten panes of glass in the front
windows of the house. It is so hap
pened that no one was in the house a.
the time.
Owing to the frequent rains farmers
generally are behind-hand with their
complaining if the time of the year
only is considered; but the ground =
so cold yet. that, if we think of the
backwardness of Spring,
we feel that those now ready to plant
corn will be as apt. to raise good crops,
as are those who are nearly done plant
ing. A few in this community bega
planting two weeks ago. Many have
just got done sowing oats. The acre
age of the last-named cereal is greater
in this locality than usal; though not
nearly so great as it would have been.

they were not. The
frst-sowed oats look we'll; meadows

orable for both. There was an unusu-
ally fine prospect for peaches this
year, but it is thought they will be
killed within the next twenty-fou
hours. for a very heavy rain fell here

Fifty teachers are required to supply
the schools of Iron county, and the
supply has not been equal to the de-
mand for more than two years. To
meet the deficiency, many teachers
have taught two terms, and in some
instances three. This is unsatisfactory
inasmuch as it compels districts to ar
range the school terms at q season that
is announcement to the general public,
and we hope to obviate the difficulty
another year, by turning out from the
Institute in June a teacher for each
school. 1t is not proposed, however,
to swell the number by simply granting
licenses. We want we'll qualified, earn

Most of the teachers of Iron county
are of this class-noble young men and
women! In fact. it is believed we
have greater per cent. of such teach
ers than any of our neighboring
counties, yet there are few who chafe
under pressure, and are disposed to
of all such we would as gladly
rid the public school system, as they
would shirk the labor necessary to
make them worthy of the name s.teach-

is reasonably assured. I expect to en-
roll thirty on the first day. 1t you
want your name on the list, let me hea-
from you very soon. If you do not
think this school will benefit you, stay
away; for I desire to enroll only those
who are in earnest. Only those who
are thoroughly alive to the educational
OF the times need apply.
Let us infuse new blood into the system
or reiuvenate the dead material that
has been imposed upon the public the
last decade. The Teachers Institute
has done more to stimulate profession
al zeal among teachers and educational
sentiment among the people than all
the other legislation we have had on

Little Judith, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. Mullineaux, of the In
land Christian Advocdte, Des Moines,
Iowa, on learning that her special play
mate, child of her own age had taken
the whooping cough, took bottle of
medicine, which had cured her of a
troublesome cough, and went over and
said: 'sYou must take this medicine5
it will do you good" Mr.. Mullineaux
was curious as to the result, and on
making inquiry learned that the little
neighbor, who had been unable to rest
at night, had been greatly relieved in
that respect. The paroxysms were
neither SO frequent, severe or enduring.
The cough, under the genial action of
this admirable remedy, was loosened.
The medicine liqufiees the mucus and
enables the sufferer to throw it of.
The attack in the beginning gave every
evidence of being a servere attack of
whooping cough. Indeed it was gen.
uine case; but this preparation, while
perhaps it may not be positive cure
for the disease, is undoubtedly able to
alleviate it. If does not cure it, it will
give unquestioned relief. The medi-
cine referred to is Chamberlain's Cough
Remidy. For sale by p. r. Crisp,

Obituary.

EDWIN MAY was born October 4,
1928, in Sterling, Mass. Here he at.
tended the district school and worked
with his father and brothers on the
farm and in the saw-mill.
In early manhood, he made public
profession of religion, which he always
honored.
He attended the academy at Leices-
ter; then graduated from the Bridge
water Normal School. He taught in
his own town in Newton, and in the
fifties was principal of one of the St.
Louis public schools for five years.
Here he studied medicine.
About the year 1858, he came, with
Mr.. Delano and others, to this county,
to engage in the lumber business at old
Ozark.
At the beginning of the war, he en-
tered the army as assistant surgeon of
SD Regiment of Illinois Volunteers;
at its close, he was surgeon of the 99th
Illinois Regiment.
After practicing medicine short
time in Ironton, he again engaged in
the lumber business in various parts of
Iron county, during the last fourteen
years having his residence in Annapo-
lis, where, as well as in Ironton, he was
an efficient member of the Board of
Education, ever laboring with an INTEL
igent interest to promote the cause of
education, and the material and spirit
ual prosperity of the community.
He leaves widow and three daught-
ers to mourn the loss of an affectionate
husband and father. The daughters
reached home from Oberlin only two
days preceding his death, which oc-
