Constable Sisk of Union Township
came to Ironton Tuesday, having in
charge two young men named Elridge,
who had been bound over by Justice
Kitchell to await the action of the
| grand jury. The charge against the
| young men is larceny. For some time
! past Andy Ruble who runs store at
Vulcan switch, has been suffering from
the depredations OF burglars From
| some cause or other he was led to sus-
pect the EIridge's. A search warrant
was secured and the missing property
consisting of -four. meat, coffee, ETC.,
was found about their home.
When you have occasion to take a
drive. either on business or pleasure
bent, there is untold satisfaction in
having a good rig. A good rig nee
essarily means good horses. Horses
we'll fed and we'll cared for, that easily
bear their burden, and at the same
time are not dangerous or unruly.
Ironton is especially well favored in
this connection. Collins livery stable
fills the bill. You can get just what
you want there and the prices will be
found reasonable. Especial attention
paid to the wants of summer visitors
and tourists. Good rigs, fine turnouts
and careful and attentive drivers. Re-
member Collins, the Ironton livery
man. He will treat you right.

Some one, inspired for the occasion,
and talking of rawberries, has said,
God no doubt might have made
finer berry; but he hasn't" The truth
of the observation was never more
forclbly impressed upon the under
standing than it has been this season.
The fruit is perfect in every way, and
plentiful, too. Last Thursday j. ID.
Elgau, Esq, with a smile on his face
and pride In his eye, handed US box
whose contents were a beauty and an
enticement such as no one living might
hope to resist. The berries were large
as hulled walnut, of a rOse-red tint, |
without blemish, firm, yet tender and |
luscious. We have never seen finer |
berries anywhere, and don't believe |
there's a spot under the sun that can |
produce their superior. Mr.. Elgan |
has reason to feel proud of his success.
Captains Summerhays and Hunter of |
Jefferson Barracks were in the Valley |
last Saturday and Sunday viewing the |
rifle range and surroundings. The fol- |
lowing was telegraphed to the St. |
Louis Republic on the return of the |
two officers to Jefferson Barracks Sun
day evening: CONSTRUCTION Quarter
master Summerhays and Captain &. X.
Hunter returned tonight from a flying |
trip to Arcadia. They were sent down
to examine the condition of the rifle
range near Arcadia. Quartermaster
Summerhays said tonight that he was
going TO make q favorable report of /
the range to the War Department. He
could not see any reasons that the re-
ports should be sent out about the I'M
healthiness of the range. This range
has caused a great deal of talk during
the winter as being too unhealthy for
the soldiers to camp there during their
yearly target practice. This report of
Captain Summerhays and Captain Hun
ter will set aside these objections. and
the probabilities are that unless re-
moved from this post the Third Caval-
~ boys will go down tc the Arcadia
target again this summer"
