ing just north OF the REGISTER Office
The price paid was in the neighbor
hood OF 5000. Mr.. Newman will plac
the building in repair and remove hi
store thereto in the near future
/ 1t is said that there is some talk @
the applicants for the Ironton post-oi
nee submitting their claims to an cleo
ton to be held by the Republican pat
rons OF the Office. The candidates ar,
understood to be j. n. Bishop. Thos
Beard. w. B. Newman and Bert Lind
say.
1t is said a new time-card will be Is
sued soon. The principal change viii
be In the time of the north-bouud fas
mail which will get here about four il
the afternoon instead of seven as a
present. The running time will b,
lessened three hours between 1exar
kama and St. Louis.
Sheriff O'Neal Tuesday morning
closed the store of j. n. Bishop on ar
execution in favor of the First Nation
al Bank of Evansville, Ind, for oveI
$400. Mr.. Bishop has many friend:
who deeply sympathize with him II
his financial troubles and trust he may
find pleasanter paths in the future.
ly OF Iron Mountain, and well known
to many of the older residents is an ap.
plicant for mine inspector under Gov.
Stephens administration. Mr.. A. has
had plenty of experience and would
doubtless discharge the duties of the
office In highly satisfactory manner.
Altar several days of rain and thor
oughly disagreeable weather, it grew
much colder Monday and that after
noon snow came. For a while the
| beautiful" came down with remarka-
| BILE rapidity. and it seemed that we
| were in for a big storm. It didn't last
long, however, and the snow was hard
ly an inch in depth.
The store house of J. n. Bishop on
the corner of Main and Russell streets
was sold at Trustees Sale last Monday
afternoon. w. r. Edgar, was the pur-
chaser, the property being knocked
off to him at 1890. Within an hour
after the sale Mr.. Edgar sold the
property to l. G. Whitworth, Jr., who
is now the owner thereof. What Mr..
Whitworth's intentions are in regard
| to the property we have not heard. 1t
is fine business location and MIR. W..
secured bargain.
A sale of the Arcadia Valley Mill
property in the eastern part of town
was made last week to E. G. Clark of
Cadott, Wisconsin. The price paid
was in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
includes a fine engine and boiler in the
| building. Mr.. Clark will at once con-
vert the property into a hub factory,
bringing machinery here from his
plant in Wisconsin. 1t is probable
that he will also manufacture other
wagon building supplies. The inaug-
uration of another industry in our
midst is pleasing news, and means
more business for the town. There is
no reason why the venture shouldn't
prove a profitable one and we believe
it will.
When No. 81 pulled into Bismarck
last Tuesday afternoon it was noticed
that the headlight on the engine was
broken, and on the inside, apparently
perfectly at home, a pigeon was
perched on the side of the lamp.
When the train left De Soto, the head
light was intact and the train men are
satisfied that it was broken by the
pigeon. This seems somewhat singu-
lar for it takes good blow to break q
glass of that kind, and it would seem
Ies1 I'D P1,f hn
headlight was broken and the bird
was safely on the inside, unscratched
and unhurt. Account for it as you
may, the happening was singular
one and not at all frequent.
DIED-Suddenly at the residence of
D. f. Reese, Pennington, Mo-, Satur-
day, January I'd, 1897, ct $50 o'clock
A. NJ. Mrs. CoRNELIA ZwART, relict
Bernard Zwart, aged 6S years and 6
days. The funeral occurred from the
Arca4ia Convent Monday morning and
the remains were inferred in the Cath
Ollie cemetery at Pilot Knob. The de-
ceased had been a resident of this city
| for over thirty years, and no eulogy
that might be pronounced could more
tran do her justice. Hers was a per-
feet Christian character, replete with
love and charity toward all .hur anity.
To the sorrowing children and their
relatives, we extend our sincere SYM
pathy. A fitting obituary will be pub
lished next week.
In the account o. the Masque Ball
published in the REGISTERS last issue
the costume of Miss Lena Fletcher was
given as the Virgin Mary" This
was an error; the young lady's cos
tune was no such representation, and
the publication should not, and would
not, have been made, had the matter
not entirely escaped the editors atteu-
ton and got into print without his
knowledge. Neither was the young
lady in question in any way to blame.
The names of attendants on the ball aud
costumes were secured by placing
blanks on the supper table and having
each one fill out his or her own list.
Miss Fletcher did not fill out the blank
assigned her, bat some one near picked
it up and thoughtlessly filled it in as
above stated. The lists were then
turned over to the printer, and pub
lished as returned. We regret the
Oversight very much. Of course,
there was no intention of sacrilege on
the part OF the REGISTER or Me
er. It was just one of those ~unforTu-
nate blunders that will sometimes oc.
cur as the result of other peoples
