tinent, no doubt; but what better car
you expect from an anarchist?
We are informed by Judge Emerson
that, owing to a bad cold. and the dan
ger OF the exposure and exertion al
this changable season, in his indiffer-
ent health. he will not be able to de-
liver the address at Marvin Collegiate
Institute, Fredericktown, on Washing
toms birthday. He regrets this. but
hopes to be able to obllge them some
other time. We learn that the insti-
tuition has already large attendance.
and is prospecting.
E. NJ. Logan has assumed charge of
the Belleview Roller Mills, and placed
the property in frst-class condition.
In the center of as fine a wheat grow
ing country as there is in this section,
and enjoying other advantages, Mr..
Logan has every reason to be success
full in his venture. In connection with
the grist mill is saw mill which Mr..
L. will also operate and is prepared to
furnish lumber of any dimensions on
demand. The REGISTER wishes Mr.
Logan every success.
Sheriff W. T. O'Neal has received a
letter from john C.. Brown of Willow
Springs, Howell county, Mo. asking
for the addresses of VIM. A. Scott and
VIM. H. Young who resided some
where in this county in 1858 and in
that year bought a lot OF mountain
land in Missouri. The inquirer states
that he wants the address of these par
ties or their heirs for the purpose of
buying this land. Any of our readers
knowing the address of these parties
will confer favor by sending same to
Mr.. Brown.

A fair start for so early in the season.
The most disastrous wreck that has
occurred on the Iron Mountain road
for years happened at Hematite last
Saturday morning about day light.
No. Sc, the north bound Texas limit
ed, was bowling along at the rate OF
about forty miles an hour, when the
engine struck a COW. which threw the
engine, mail and baggage cars, and
several coaches from the track. VIM.
Frauey, the engineer, and Philip Childs,
the fireman, were instantly killed.
Three mail clerks and several pas
sengers were injured, but none SER
iously. The track was blockaded for
several hours. Conductor j. H. Dates
was in charge of the unfortunate train.
A trio of Ironton's jolly bachelors,
Messrs. J. Lopez, R Z. Wilkinson and
Bird. Smith, entertained their friends
at a social party at the Lopez cottage
Wednesday evening. About twenty
five couples were in attendance. The |
main feature was progressive euchre. |
First prizes were won by Miss Julia |
Andrews and VIM. Halter, while the |
'boobies" were captured by Miss Lula |
Fairchild and Prof. J. NJ. Hawkins. |
After the card playing a delicious
luncheon was served, and then . cou
pie of hours were devoted to dancing. |
The guests were unanimous in pro-
nouncing the affair the event of the |
season, and say that the tact and in |
hvv al
hosts on this very happy occasion |
should not remain hidden under a |
bushel, but call FOR many. many happy |
returns! Let the first worthy success
or be in the near future.
Mrs. Haskell, who gave an entertain
ment at the Music Hall few months |
ago will be here again next Monday |
evening and will give another enter
tainment under the auspices of the |
Christian Endeavor Society. A Wash |
iugton City correspondent of the Globe |
Democrat in a recent issue says of Mrs. |
Haskell: "a beautiful and gifted Mis- |
souri, woman has been delighting Wash |
ington society by her readings. These |
are under the special patronage of Mrs. |
r. p. Bland and other ladies of the |
Missouri delegation, and it is but to |
argue yourself unknown not to have at |
tended Mrs. Haskell's entertainments. |
Last week she entertained the CONT |
mental Chapter of the Daughters of the |
American Revolution by 8 delightful |
version of a negro dialect story; and |
under the auspices of Mrs. Carlisle, |
Mrs. Gresham, Mrs. George @. Vest |
and other noted danes, she appeared |
in the parlors at Wizards before G |
large and select audience, reciting |
character sketches from Dickens. Mrs. !
Haskell is a great favorite in official |
and social circles. and the especial pet |
and pride of all missOurians sojourning |
in Washington"
Some time since, the REGISTER pub !
lished an inquiry from w. +. Wright |
of Piggott, Arkansas, asking inforna- |
ton as to the whereabouts of one A. b. |
Minis, stating that he had not been |
heard from since last May, at which |
time he was in this city. In counec- |
tion with the inquiry as published the |
REGISTER stated that Minis was here
about the time stated giving graphic |

week in Irouton stopping with W. c. |
Perkins. 1t was about the last of May
