The Rev. A. Britain asks US to call
attention to the arrangements now
made for services at St. Paul's church:
| Sunday services at IL A. NJ. and 7:3O
P. M; children's service at P. NJ. first
Sunday in the month; Sunday School
at $3.50 A. NJ; Thursday evening SER

He also desires to make it known that
he has taken up his residence at Mrs.
| Reyburn's in Irontou.
! On the 10th inst. a stranger came to
| Ironton and registered at the Ameri-
can Hotel as Frank Burton. He said
he was advance agent for the Kicka-
poo Indian Medicine Company. and as
such contracted with the landlord for
board for six people for two weeks
commencing last Monday. He also
leased the Academy of Music for the
same time. That evening a couple of
''drummers" came here from Bismarck
and recognized the advance agent"
as the individual who had bilked a
Bismarck hotel keeper of three days
lodging while awaiting the arrival OF
''the company" The commercial men
warned our landlord that Burton was
a fraud, and it is supposed the latter
overheard the conversation. Anyway,
he skipped out that same evening and
no man in this vicinity has seen hide
or hair of him since. Let landlords
and opera house managers look little
out for Burton, for he's almost certain
to show up, no matter how negligent
ly his company" may lag on its way.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The progress
made in the negotiations for peace has
given rise in some quarters to an ex-
pectation that hostilities are to be sus-
pended very soon. This will depend
entirely upon the attitude of the Span.
ish government and the nature of its
answer to our demands It has been
made clear to the French ambassador
that hostilities will not be suspended
except upon the assurance of full ac-
ceptance of our conditions and that he
has undoubtedly informed the Spanish
cabinet that it depends upon Spain
when the war shall cease. Meanwhile
as an earnest that our government has
not interrupted the execution of its
campaigns an order was issued from
the war department Sunday for the
dispatch of an entire army division to
reinforce Gems. Miles and Brooke in
Porto Rico. This will be known as
the provisional division and will be
commanded by Maj. Gen. Wade, at pres
