The REGISTER has received the fol-
lowing from r. H. jesse. President of
the University of the State OF Missouri:
Every member of the House and OF
the Senate in the Legislature of the
State has a right to appoint TO the
University from his district, one cadet.
Such appointment saves the cadet
twenty dollars in money Cf he enters
the Academic Dana mani yubiob rDoSt
of them dO) and secures him at least
one uniform, which is good suit OF
clothes. The appointment by law
should be made in early August. 1t is
good for two years. Occupied with
many things, Senators and Representa-
tives sometimes forget to make these
appointments. It is a kindness, there
fore, to them as well as to their con-
stituents, some of whom are your
readers, to call attention to this mat
ter through the county papers. Is
there a vacancy in your county or
Senatorial District? If so, it should be
| filed promptly, as the time set by law
for such appointments is now at hand.
The University has surely no financial
interest in these appointments"
Under the provisions OF an act of the
last General Assembly of Missouri,
each County is entitled to one Free
Scholarship in any department OF the
| University of the State of Missouri.
Said act provides that on the first week
in August each year, beginning with
the first Monday, there shall be held at
the Court House in the County Seat, a
written examination of all applicants
| qualified under the law to be students
of the University; said applicants shall
| be actual residents OF the County be-
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty
! five years. Said act further provides
no applicant shall be qualified to re-
ceive such scholarship unless the Board
! of Examiners shall be satisfied that the
applicant is dependent upon his own
exertions for his education and fnan-
cially unable to otherwise obtain the
same. Now, Therefore. notice is here
by given that there will be a meeting
of the Board of Examiners of Iron
County, Missouri, at the Court House
in the City of Ironton, on Monday.
August Sd. 1896, at 10 o'clock, for the

Mrs. Lena Seitz and sister. Miss An
ma Hauck, last week entertained par
ty of friends from St. Louis, including
Misses Laura KOelle, Celia rRhein, Gus
sic Hauck, Paula and Amanda Folleni-
US, and Messrs. DR.. Fuchs, Fred Hauck,
Hugo Koelle and Otto Kahle- The
party arrived on the Arcadia Friday
night, and were met at the station by
the Middlebrook String Band. and were
given possession of the town. With
their advent Middlebrook put on her
holiday attire, and during their short
stay resumed a vestige of the glory of
by-gone years, when she was happiest.
Through the efforts of our genial and
| hospitable friend, VIM. Trauernicht,
ESQ, the visitors were shown to all the
principal points of interest. Saturday
morning the party spent a few pleas
ant hours among the giant bOulders at
NIFdullCNlllS, III the dltSEuOOn q
| trip was taken to the Iron Mountain
dam, where all enjoyed themselves I'M
til late in the evening. Sunday was
spent in the famous Shut-In and the
beautiful Arcadia Valley-a day that
will long be remembered by the partic-
ipants. We omitted to state that on
Saturday night the young men of Mid
; dlebrook gave a dance in honor of the
guests, which was greatly enjoyed.
The visitors departed Tuesday morn
ing, with many regrets, leaving behind
them several young men in whose eyes
one can trace a PARKWAY look of sup
pressed longing that a week ago was
unknown to them.
The following, taken from the DE
Soto Press, will call forth the sympa.
thies of many citizens of Irouton, who
knew the parents years ago when they
were residents of the Valley. The
editor of the REGISTER, who knew
them in those earlier days. sincerely
joins in the general expression OF
regret and coincidence: "A very SAD
accident occurred on Tuesday evening
last, which resulted IN the death o.
