Spring-like again.

10 mourn his death.
| Judge Emerson went to St. Louis
yesterday to attend the annual meeting
OF the stockholders of the Emerson
Electric Company. Owing to the pan.
lc the company has not made any grea,
strides during the past year, but had il
not been for this draw back the busi-
ness would have been very prosperous.
The Governor last Saturday appoint
ed Jos. A. Zwart Probate Judge of Iron
county. cice Franz Dinger, deceased.
Mr.. Zwart. though young in years, we
are sure will make faithful and eff
ficient officer, and in a short time will
make himself thoroughly acquainted
with the duties of the Office. The
REGISTER cOngratulates him and wish
es him success.
The Pennington Mining and Pros
pecting company, held its annual
meeting in Farmington last Wednes-
day and changed the name of the cor
poration to the ..Ladington Lead Com
pany;" F. Rodach was elected presi-
dent; j. NJ. Logan, vice president;
Rob't Tetley, Treasurer; K. W. Weber,
| secretary; F. Kaths was chosen as one
of the directors.
Says an exchanges: 1.-The country

writes on any subject, sticks type, folds
papers. makes up the mail. runs err
rands, saws wood, works in the garden.
is blamed for thousand things he
never tho't of, works hard all day, is
subject to spring fever, helps people
into Office who forget all about it after
wards, and frequently gets cheated out
of his earnings. He puffs up and does
more to build up the town and county
than any one else, and the miser and
fogy are benefited; yet they will not
take his paper, but will borrow it and
cuss the old fool of an editor"

trains, 7:55 P. NJ. These hours will be
observed strictly as to the closing of

The Poplar Bluff Democrat takes a
selfish view of matters. Since the
Arcadia Valley has given to Poplar
Bluff so many of the live men who have
made that town all she is, one would
naturally conclude she would be will
ing to reciprocate favors occasionally.
Not so, however, if the Democrat is an
inaex to the feeling down there. |
Hearken to it's sentiments: "1he citi- |
zens of Ironton and Arcadia have been |
making an effort to have the Bellevue |
Collegiate Institute now located at Cal |
edonia moved to The Valley, and sent |
Mr.. Jas. Dixon down here one day last |
week to solicit aid. A number of our |
citizens agreed to invest in certain town
lots situated adjacent to the proposed |
site with the proviso that the commit
tee appointed to settle the question de-
Clutu III ldNOT VI AICduid. L. IL. |
Moore took two lots, and Sam Lane,
Aug. Winkler, w. c. Grady, Jesse
Reynolds. Henry Lacks and Alonzo
Harviell one each. 1t is none of our
business, of course, but we would sug-
gest that it is not a very good business
policy to assist foreign enterprises
when so many are needed at home"
As one of the section men went to
extinguish the switch lights north of
the Middlebrook depot Monday morn
ing, he discovered the body of man
lying on the railroad track. The neck
had been severed from the trunk; the
body was all cut up and limb and
arm had been cut in two. The officers
were informed and Justice Schwaner
held an inquest the same morning;
there was nothing to indicate the name
or home of the deceased. 1t is almost
certain that he fell from moving
train; on examination, "a pipe and
sack of tobacco were found d little
north of him; the supposition is that
he was riding the bumpers, attempted
to light his pipe, lost his balance and
fell under the wheels. The only piece
of paper found on the body was a part
of French journal; he was large
man, about thirty-ive years of age
and, apparently, of splendid constitu-
ton. The jury rendered a verdict in
in accordance with these facts. Since
the foregoing was written, it has been
ascertained that the mans name was
Kline. He had been discharged from
the Iron Mountain section the Satur-
day previous, spent all of his money for
drink, and at the time the accident oc-
Cured was trying to beat his way
south.
Although ourself delinquent in the
matter, we heartily endorse all that
the Poplar Bluff Citizen says in refer
ence to the absence of Southeast edi-
tors at the business meeting of the
Press Association at st. Louis last
week. We had made all preparations
to 90, but the sudden and extreme cold
weather. joined to an incipient case of
grip, prevented. Says the Citizen:
1--WE attended the winter meeting of
the Missouri State Press Association in
St. Louis last Thursday and Friday and
were greatly interested and benefited
thereby. The $50 editors present
were fine body of men and fit to hold
the high positions which many of them
do. We were disappointed in the poor
representation that Southeast Missouri
