a Fraud.
From the Piedmont Banner.

FROM the fleQmOnt banner.
A man registering as Geo. Phillips
arrived here last Friday night, as he
said, under the protecting care of Bro.
Broadweil of the Ironton Republican
who had formed such an attachment
for the aforesaid fraud that he came
this far with him. He arose at the
break of day and HE'D himself to the
nearest saloon where be satisfied 'sa
long felt want" After devouring
enough grub to stock a commissary he
next betook himself to a barber shop
where he was relieved, as he put it, of
.'everything that endeared him to Bro.
Broadwell. Next visiting one of our
dry goods stores he blew in some of
the shekels gathered in Iron county
for suit of clothes. He then sailed
forth in quest of victims. He "wrote
up" several business houses in town
and read his articles to the managers
or proprietors. His articles were we'll
written and our enterprising business
men, ever ready to advance the inter-
ests of our town. paid him something
for the work with the understanding
that it would appear IN this weeks
Banner 1--WE had agreed to print his ar
ticles and would yet do so, had he left
any cOpy.) After collecting every
thing he could, he tanked up and
boarded the south bound passenger
train in search of greener pastures.
He is undoubtedly fraud of the first
water and should be arrested.

Change the Assessment Laws.
IR0NroN. Mo-. April LIST, 1898

IRONToN, Mo-, April 1st, 1898.
Ed. RegiSter-In view of the facts
exposed by the publication Of the per-
sonal assessment list of Iron county,
and the comments it has elicted, it is
very evident that the assessment laws
need revising; and to that end [ here
by announce myself candidate for the
Office of Representative of Iron county
in the next General Assembly of Mis-
souri, If elected | hereby pledge N.Y.
self to labor INCREASINGLY for such a
revision of the law as will make it an
easy matter for the Assessor to reach
all such taxable property as notes,
bonds, stocks, mortgages, etc. For
instance. l would so frame the law that
all such taxable papers should be nom
collectable unless it had received the
Assessors stamp as an evidence of
having been assessed and that the
holder was paying his just taxes there
on. Such a law would bring this spe-
cies of property from its hiding place
and expose it to the broad light of day,
and cause the holder thereof to thrust
it upon the Assessor for his stamp in
stead of secreting it as is now done.
On this simple platform l ask your
SURFACES, and l believe that every
honest taxpayer ought to support me.
shall be glad to hear from you, fell
low sufferers, through the press or 9TH

MARSHAL CANROBERT.
Fearless French Soldier Whose Flowing
Hair Belonged to History.

Fearless French Soldier Whose Flowing
Hair Belonged to History.
1t was singular fact that the late Mar
shall Canrobert, the last of the French mar
shals, offered In himself constant ex-
ample of the violations of the regulations
of the army In which he was SO conspicu-
Gus an officer.
Throughout almost the whole of his
military service Canrobert wore long hair
flowing down upon his shoulders, and this
hair was a sort of oriflamme to the sol.
diers.
But ever since the year 1888 the French
army regulations have positively required
that every officer and soldier shall wear
closely cut hair, without any tufts, curls
or ringlets whatsoever, and severe pen
alties are provided for persistence In let
ting the hair grow long.
Canrobert had a profuse mass of hair
which he was very proud of. 1t was
cropped TO his great grief when he went
Into the military school of st. Cyr In 1896
but when, as a young officer, he went into
the Algerian war In 1885 no profited by
the relaxation of many regulations there
to let his hair grow down his shoulders
again.
Several years later, also In Algeria, Colo
mel Canrobert, bareheaded, led a heroic
charge at Zaatoha, and his long. floating
hair In the thick Of the combat served as
q rallying sign to the zouaves as they
swarmed through the breach.
After this war Canrobert's head OF hair
had already become SO famous that no su-
perior ventured to command him to cut 1t
off, through General Pelissier, who hated
him, once called him professor in a
cafe In Paris, and by way of excuse
affected to have mistaken him for doctor
OF philosophy on account of his hair.
The Emperor Napoleon III did once
venture to demonstrate with Canrobert
for wearing long hair. The marshal's 70.
sponse was very "Frenchy."
Sire" he said, my hair belongs to
history''
He did not cut 1t. 1t floated all through
the French and German war, becoming
legendary among the soldiers. Long since
1t became snow white and fell upon the old
marshal's shoulders In his declining days,
and 1t clustered about them as his body
lay In state in Paris.-Paris Correspond
