Ed. Register-Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Rutschilling buried their little infant
babe yesterday evening, it having died
! Sunday with jaundice, superinduced by
severe cold. The remains of the lit
| tie one we're inferred in the Middle
brook cemetery.
Old lady Martin is reported as being
| completely paralyzed. and hopes for
| her recovery are doubtful.
Several of our town people are COM
planning with colds.
|. William Ripple, who is confined to
| his bed with a broken leg, caused
while cOasting, is getting along as we'll
| as could be expected under such cir
| cumstances.
Mrs. Michael Carey is pronounced :
little improved.
Mrs. H. Dansman of st. Louis is
guest of Mrs. L. F. Walsh these days.
Larry keenan, and family of Pilot
Knob spent Sunday with relatives in
town.
Several of our town folks churched
at Ironton Sunday.
Last Friday capped the climax in so
far as the weather to date is concern
ed, the mercury going down to 81 be-
low zero. AS yet, we have heard of
| no deaths resulting from the intense
| cold in this section, but we read of
many such in other quarters of the
globe with the exception of Washing
ton, d. c., where they seem to keep
generally at fever heat on the finance,
| and other questions that are of little
moment to the suffering humanity
throughout the country. The Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, are. with posi-
bly, two exceptions, strictly together
on nearly all questions, but we fail to
to see that any two Congressman are
unit on anything that would be of ben
eft to the whole people-or even any
part of them-who are in dire need of
better times, and to aid which purpose
congress was convened.
A protracted meeting was begun at
the NJ. E. Church last evening, under
the charge of Revs. Hurley and Rus
sell. 1t is hoped much good will be
manifested.
The attaches of the Company Store
were out with their best girls sleigh-
riding Saturday night, and never was
there more sleighing or better wealth
err for it in this section, than this win
ter; at least SO say some of our oldest
inhabitants.
The latest news from the seat
government in regard to the Kansas
City court house is to the effect that
the committee who were appointed to
report on the best material to be used
in the construction of said building.
have reported on the bid of Manning
& Parsons of Washington, d. c., as
being the lowest. and also on the ma
terial from Georgia: but the Kansas
City people and the Missouri delega-
CATION are solidly arrayed against the
Georgia material as not being fit to be
used in such buildings. Tho matter,
however. is now in the hands of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and what
the outcome will be no one not &C
quainted with the facts can even con-
lecture. At any rate, the matter is
assuming interesting proportions. and
it is safe to say the question will not
hang much longer before something
will "drap."
Little Ruth, daughter Of Mr.. and |
Mrs. Ross Quinly, while playing |
around an outside fire some time ago,
got too near the fire and her clothes |
caught. Before help could get to her,
her clothes were all in a flame, and |
she was very badly burned on the legs |
and arms. At present she is doing as
we'll as possible under the circum-
stances, but the little girl has suffered
agonizing pains. and has borne up |
wonderfully we'll, all things considered. |
Mr.. j. D. Greason has returned from
a weeks visit to friends and relatives
in Poplar Bluff. Mr.. G. reports every /
thing in a fourishing condition mot
withstanding the hard timesl at the
Bluff. The Bluff, though, like Iron
ton, has recently received black eye
in the way of heavy loss of property
by FIRE. CAP.
