Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1895-02-21

Miss ffeeland returned last Satur-
day, and the intermediate department
of the public school is again at work.
Rejoice not too vehemently, o heed
less man! With the departure of win
ter cometh the spring housekeeping.
The late bit of thaw gave evidence
OF what some portions of the sidewalks
will be when spring brings the great
breakup.
A sprlng-like break in the weather
Sunday and Monday was succeeded by
the usual snow and north wind Tues
day morning.
The postmaster now receives the
daily weather bulletins fresh from the
mint. They began coming two weeks
ago, and the first few patches were
very unsatisfactory to a comfort-lOving
person: but they have improved won
derfully the past three or four days.
If a body meet body
Private on the sly,
When the stars are shinin'
High up in the sky
II another happens nigh EN-
just by peevish chance,
Must that other basely spy en-
Comm from the dance?
Several parties were arrested yester-
day for cutting timber off the st. Louis
Ore and Steel Company's lands. They
were caught red-handed, and Superin-
tendent Craine has orders to give them
the full limit of the law. Boys-you
who haven't yet been caught-yOu'd
better look leetle oudt, don't it?

Twenty-Five per cent. of city taxes
for 1894 are as yet unpaid. Inc City
Collector will shortly institute suit to
collect them, and it is the purpose OF
the REGISTER to publish a list of all
taxpayers delinquent on the books
after next week-and, may be. in our
next issue. Walk up, boys, and settle!
For fattening cattle neighbor Begley
has discovered a method superior to
ANYTHING heretofore known. He kept
it a profound secret for a long time,
but it was accidentally discovered by
a ueighbor the other day. A patent
is the only thing that can now protect
the original discoverer. and he will
probably take one out in self-defense.
Murphy gives correct and intel
lieible description of the phenomena
attending the sun last Saturday morn
ing. as seen here. as we'll as Annapolis.
With the description came diagram
which we are unable to reproduce.
We regret that we cannot, for such
unusual occurrences should be made
matters of exact and unmlstakable
record.
A number of citizens of Ironton and
Pilot Knob gave party at Val. Efhng-
er-s last Saturday evening. In honor OF
Mrs c. Kuhn's 2Sth birthday. About
twenty couples attended and enjoyed
the dance until late hour. During
the evening Mrs. X. was presented by
her friends with an eight-day clock OF
elegant workmanship: deserved tok-
en- of goodwill and esteem. Every
thing passed off pleasantly. and all
who were present hope they may be
there again when her next birthday
comes round.
The condition of the rails on the
track south of Tip-Top promises first
class wreck some of these fine morn
ings. Tho sharp curve and heavy
grade at that point are peculiarly hard
q
10 be worn so that the top OF the 1
hss almost disappeared in many places.
The speed of some of the trains going
south i. very great, and the danger OF
such a train leaving the track Is lnml-
nent. And il one should go OIL, II
NAV be said, in the language OF a rail-
road man. lit would take a search
warrant to find her." Better repair
the road before such an occurrence re-
suits.
The Iron Mountain Railway issued a
new time card last Sunday. Inc
changes in time are not of great con-
sequence. The day mail train south
bound arrives here at .:42. ana passes
the up-coming train at Arcadia. Inc
most important change to this locality
il that which does away with the
stopping of all night trains either here
or at Arcadia. 1t is altogether
change for the worse. SO far as 1t con,
Germs the public. and one that should
not be long tolerated. We hope the
management of the road may be made
to see it 10 this light; failing that, the
Quicker the legislature passes the law
compelling all trains to stop at county
seats, the better.
