ing parties a sky without cloud on
the day of the ceremony, and a life of
sunshine and prosperity afterward.
We yesterday received copy of
1.-The Souvenir Album of De Soto, Mo-, ;"
through the courtesy of f. j. Bean,
Esq, rising young lawyer of that
city. Mr.. B. took his first step in 1e-
gal requirement in this town, and is
we'll known to the Vallegians. His
counterfeit presentment in the cal
bum' is true to the life, and does but
justice to his honest counteuance.
May he live long. wed happily. and
prosper! The .'Album" is printed by
the New Era Photo-Engraving Compa-
ny of st. Louis, and published under
the auspices of the De Soto Press. 1t
is an elegant brochure, containing over
fifty engravings, and is a credit to the
growing city of De Soto.
c. F. Bland, conductor on the rail-
road. died rather suddenly at De Soto
last Friday morning about four O'Clock.
He had been suffering from malarial
fever and asthma, but his death was
unexpected. The remains were taken
to Woburn, Mass, his native place,
Sunday, S. w. Andrews accompanying
the party at the request of the 0. K.
c., of which Mr.. Bland had been a
member. The deceased was also X.
P, which order assisted in the prepa-
rations for the transfer of the body to
the car. We are sure no one in this
Valley, where he lived for several
years, but will learn with sorrow of his
untimely taking off. He worked on
the pusher previous to removing to De
Soto, and was liked by everybody who
came to know him. A fitting tribute
to his memory will appear hereafter.
You may change ode Soto" to .'Iron-
ton" in the following, taken from the
Facts, without violence to the sur
roundings-except as to the mos
quitoes: s.There are number OF old
spotted cows running over the hills of
De Soto that should be dispatched i'm
mediately. They are almost as mean
as the people who own them and al
low them to run at large. They stop
for fence provided it is built 16 rails
high, but for nothing else, and the old
critters will eat anything from the last
shirt of an editor to rose bush that
cost $4.65, and would rattle their mis-
cradle old bells at Chinese funeral
procession. Just imagine a peaceable
citizen being awakened at 2 o'clock A.
N. after having worried himself to
death almost, fighting mosquitoes,
having to fiounce out of bed and chase
an old bob-tailed COW three or four.
times around a yard filed with bull
thistles. Think of having to wrangle
with an Infatuated woman next morn
ing because you did not camp out in
the yard and keep the old heifers from
eating up tube rose or a morning
glory vine, ana then tell US that these
horney-headed, 4o-year old calves have
a right to run at large"
Thieves broke into the Holloman
residence south of Arcadia Tuesday,
during the absence of the family.
Sheriff O'Neal was notified of the oc-
currence after dark that evening. and
with a posse started out after the
burglars, who, he was led to believe,
belonged to the corps of tramps who
usually effect that locality at this seas
on of the year. The posse came up
with a half dozen hoboes standing
around a campfire in the woods, two
of whom ran as soon as the sheriff and
his aids made themselves visible, and
they kept running though commanded
to halt, reinforced with two or three
pistol shots. The remaining tramps
we're closely examined. but nothing
duplicating them with the robbery was
found. They claimed the two who had
run away had joined them only five
minutes before the Sheriff came upon
them. Mr.. j. B. Holloman, who had
came up on a visit to the old home,
was the first to discover that the house
had been broken into, but pistol was
the only article that he could name as
having been taken. But articles of
food had been scattered over the
floors. and things generally were in q
mixed up condition. The thieves, We
take it, will infest this locality no
more, for the posses pistols gave them
a good, healthy scare.
/ For ten days or so, band OF gypsies
has been encamped on the commons
near Aug. Rieke's on the northern con-
fines of the town. The party contains
several families and numbers some
twenty persons. They trade horses,
tell fortunes, and do the other things
traditional to their people. Last week
the even tenor of their days was dis
