The REGISTER this week publishes
the financial statement of the county
for the year ending January 31st, 1897,
1t takes up considerable space, but il
contains much that is of especial in'
terest to every resident of the county.
Incidentally, it may be remarked thar
this is the first time in thirty years
that the statement has been published
that our "boss" hasn't been here to
give the matter his personal attention.
In this issue of the REGISTER will be
found an article taken from last Sum-
days Republic wherein Mr.. Louis Mil
Ter offers one hundred acres of land
and 81 900 to secure the location of an
Industrial Farm and school in the Ar
cadia Valley. AS an enterprising pub
lic-spirited man. ready at all times to
work for the improvement and up
building of the community, Mr.. Mil
Ter has no superiors. If we had more
like him our progress would be great
er.

The following is taken from last
Mondays Globe Democrat: ''It is un-
derstood at the Barracks that Gen.
Miles has abandoned all opposition to
the Barracks and the Arcadia rifle
range, and that he has recommended
the improvement of the former and the
purchase of the latter to the War De-
F.fF rrir-
this out as official, but yesterday after
noon, while talking to a "GIobe-D Dem
ocrat" reporter, he so worded state
meut of the present situation as to con-
vey tho impression that the Barracks
will stay"
For some time past Jas. H. Clark
has been annoyed by something Or 9TH
er coming down one of the large chin
neys in his residence, into the fire
place, and littering the room adjacent
with acorns and other trash. Some
one suggested that the depredations
were committed by a flying squirrel.
He secured rat trap, placed it in the
fire place ard next morning found that
be had captured one of the tormentors,
which, sure enough, proved to be fly
ing squirrel. Next morning he caught
the mate and since then he has been
troubled no more.
The New Madrid Record very truth
fully says: Legitimate economy is to
be admired wherever seen practiced,
and more especially in the 'miuistra-
tion of state affairs. But, we think
the Missouri Legislature goes too far
in this respect and, perhaps unwilling
", gets hold of the wrong end OF
things they propose to make suffer
curtailment. 1t is now proposed to
ruthlessly cut down the fees OF clerks
of the courts in the state Just one-hali
what they are now earning and sus-
tanning themselves on only by having
something else as 4 resource for liv-
| ing in connection with the fees of the
Office, to say nothing of the RESPONSE
bility, continuous labor and time Civ.
en- as a public servant. The law
maker seems to proceed to economic
at the ''rural" end of the line by cal
culating that there is a perfect stream
of documents flowing in to be filed ev.
cry second, while on the contrary the
! clerk sees one-out of which he gets
a fee-a day and gets perhaps 5000 q
week, and this on the ''highest-priced'
official paper. The clerks are moi
overpaid."
