Mr.. Simon Martin of the wilds of
Harmony Township, Washington :oun-
ty, was before Commissioner Fox on
| the third inst, charged with keeping
a saloon in the leg of his boot, with
out first having first interviewed the
Internal Revenue Collector about the
matter. As oar-keeper Simon seems
not to have been success, for certain
OF his clients becoming dissatisfied
gave him away with the view to OBJ
tanning another bar-keeper; hence
Simon is in trouble. For lack of $3.50
bail, he will reposc in the St. Louis
Jail until after the seventh inst, when
he will be further examined by Com
missioner Fox.
The following item appeared in last
Thursdays Poplar Bluff Citizen: H.
b. Jones. of Newport. Ark. and Miss
Mamie j. Inner, of Pilot Knob. Mo-,
were united in marriage last evening
by Rev. j. H. Utterback, of the Chris
tain church. Mr.. and Mrs. Jones left
this morning for Newport, where they
will reside" 1t was quite a surprise
to the many friends and well-wishers of
both the contracting parties; for, while
some of US knew that Harry had been
rather attentive and regular in his
visits to Pilot Knob for several months
prior to his departure for Arkansas, we
had no idea that the climax would be
reached on ground foreign to both
the bride and groom. The REGISTER
tenders them its heartlest congratula-
tions and wishes them good future.
VIM. Trauernicht, that genial tailor
and prince of good fellows from Mid
dlebrook, was in town Monday, seeing
his friends and looking after the wants
of his customers. He has just received
and has now on hand grandand ele-
CANT assortment of piece goods for
winter suits and OvercOats. As fine as
can be found any where. As to the
quality, fit and finish of the clothing
turned out by Trauernicht & Bro, it
is not necessary to speak. They have
long possessed a most enviable repu-
tation, and grow in popular favor every
year. 1t is fact universally ac-
knowledged that for excellency and
general satisfaction, their clothing
cannot be surpassed in st. Louis, Chi
cago, or any of the large cities. In
fact people who have tried them most
think that Trauernicht beats them all.
Pluck and energy always win, and the
mammoth and successful establishment
of the Trauernichts well proves the
truthfulness of the assertion.
Harry b. Jones, formerly of this
city, but now living in Arkansas, and
Miss Mary Inner of Pilot Knob were
united in marriage at Poplar Bluff on
Wednesday evening. Oct. 81, 1894.
The announcement of the wedding
created quite surprise here, as neith-
err of the families of the high contrast
ing parties had been advised that the
event was to occur. 1t seems that Miss
Inner had gone to Poplar Bluff to Wis
it friends. but no one had an idea that
a wedding was even possibility. Mir.
Jones arrived in Poplar Bluff about the
same time, and on the evening named
the ceremony was performed, Rev.
Utterback, Christian minister, officiat-
ing Harry is big-hearted, whole
SOdleu ICilOW. NIOlu OOuy IlheS.
his bride is most estimable young
lady in every respect, and We congrat-
ulate him on the prize he has won.
May the sunshine Of happiness ever
brighten their path, and peace and
prosperity always attend them!
Recently the school board in the Ce
dar Grove district received bids to
ifh
The contract was awarded to one High
ley, member of the board, at S1.50
per cord. 1t seems that a young man
by the name of Sims had put in bid
agreeing to furnish the wood at S1.2O
per cord, and when he learned of the
action of the board. he asserted that
there was '.ring." and that legally
the contract could not be let to a men,
Der of the board. On Sunday morn
ing last. Sims met Marion Newman.
another member of the board, at High
ley's house. Newman at once took
Sims to task for having made allega-
tions against the integrity of the board.
Sims acknowledged, and maintained
that what he had said was true. AZ
ter a few words passed, each of the
parties claimed that the other was a
liar. Newman attacked Sims with a
hand-saw which he happened to have
in his hand. Sirls tried to defend
himself. and received some severe and
painful cuts on the arms. A warrant
was sworn out against Newman Mon
day, and the case will probably be
tried before a justice in 4 few days.
EN-. Smith, now at Graniteville,
Mo-, an extensive owner in the great
mine there, and at Syenite. which has
proved such bonanza to all its stock
holders. got his start at Poplar Bluff.
MIR. Smith came to Poplar Bluff some
IS or 20 years ago." said County Clerk
w. b. Adams today. "He didn't have
much property, but he was an old
school mate and particular friend of
Russell Allen. son of Tom Allen, the
fnancier. Allen controlled the Iron
Mountain Railroad at that time. and it
was he who gave Mr.. Smith his first
position here as superintendent of the
stock yards. Away back in Massachu-
sets. years before. Russell Allen and
T.. NJ. Smith had been boon compan-
ions, aud, presumably. Mr.. Smith got
his position here through the intorces-
sion of his old school mate. And SUI
perintendent OF the yards here at that
time meant princely salary-at least
$4,000 a year. For eight or ten years
Mr.. Smith held this position, and un-
