THE oABnCET TALKS OF IT.
At today's cabinet meeting large
part.of the time was taken up in dis
cussion Of Eagan's testimony before
the war Investigating commission yes
terday. The members were unusually,
reticent as TO what tfanspired Never
theless all the members commend the
action Of the committee in declining tT
receive the manuscript Of Eagan's tess
timony until the Objectionable epithets
are expnnged There is no doubt the
President deeply regrets the incident.
1t is almost certain tlzt official cogni-
zance will be taken of the matter soon.
The question was discussed as
to how far Gen. Eagan may be
entitled to immunity from punishment
under the recent public statement by
the secretary of war, by direction OF
the President, to the'effect thatz2ll wit
nesses appearing before the 10mmis-
zion would be protected in their rights
ana positions if in the service of the
United States regardless of who their
testimony might be directed against.

A pretty, but quiet wedding, took
place November 1st, at the residence
of MIR. Ben Olive in Roselle, when his
daughter, Euseba, was married to Mr..
Albert Elser of Flat River. Precisely
at high noon the bridal party entered
the parlor; the ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. A. Carver, pastor
of First Baptist church. There were
only near relatives and intimate
friends present. numbering about fifty.
The bride wore beautiful pale blue
gown trimmed in white silk, and lace
with bows of white silk ribbon. Miss
Clemma Downs was bidesmaid; she
wore a beautiful gown of blue, which
was made and trimmed very tastefully.
The groom wore the accustomed suit
of black; he was attended by Mr.. Phil
Gruner of Doe Run. The bride never
looked better in her life. Miss Olive
is fair blonde and of course her
dress was very becoming to her.
After the wedding ali were invited
into the dining room, where they found
a delicious dinner, which was gotten
up by the brides mother.
The bridal party left that afternoon
for the groom's fathers in Doe Run.
There was a delicious supper given
them by the groom's parents. They
received many valuable and beautiful
presents, too numerous to mention.
On the I'd of November they went to
their home in Flat River, to which the
groom had prepared to take his wife.
May they live long and happy life.
is the wish of their many friends.

was one of the drivers. The turkeys
were purchashed by L. R. Gillian,

of the Western Poultry and Game Com
pany. They will be slaughtered,
dressed and shipped from here to the

a good price, and especially for drove

Obituary.

Randall Dunn died at his home on
Marble Creek, Iron county, Mo-, Oc-
tober 29th, 1899. He was born Sep
March %, 1876, to Miss Mary A. Mat
kins, daughter of Leroy and Rebecca
Matkins. To this union there were
born eight children, three sons and
five daughters. Three of his children
went home to God many years since.
Mr.. Dunn leaves a worthy and high
ly esteemed widow, five children and a
host of friends and relatives to mourn
his departure. He united with the
United Baptist church and was bap-
tized January 81, 1898, and lived a
faithful member until his death. He
was a true Christian, loving husband
and kind father. He will be greatly
missed by his family and many friends
and relatives. He was always kind to
everybody and ready to help those in
trouble. He had been in poor health
for some time and while attending
court at IrOntOn was taken with a con-
gestive chill. He went to Mr.. Greg
ory's and medical aid was summoned
The next day he was some better and
was sent to his home. While on his
way he took another chill from which
he never recovered.
Kind friends did all they could to
relieve his sufferings, but all in vain;
God had called him and he had to go.
He died in the triumphs of a living
faith, and we may rest assured that we
shall meet him in that better land.
On October 30th he was laid in the
Polk cemetery beside his children to
rest until the resurrection morn when
all of the redeemed people of God shall
be gathered home. A RELATIVE.

The REGISTER endorses every word
of the following taken from the last
issue of the Potosi Independent: 1.-The
heartache and sorrow that accompan-
les the terrible losses which the Eng
lish are suffering in the Transvaal. is
bringing Englishmen to the sober
second thought. They are beginning
to ask themselves: Why must England
pour out so much blood and treasure
in far away corner of the world? The
answer Is near at hand; a few of the
very rich men that have assumed
charge of her government have coveted
the vineyard of a weaker neighbor, and,
in defiance of all considerations, jus
tice and humanity, and regardless of
the commandment, Thou shalt not
steal." have concluded to use the
power OF the English government to
accomplish the theft just as the same
class of people are using the power of
this government to steal the Philip
pines from its owners. To such men
as Joseph Chamberlain and Cecil
Rhodes, the sorrow and hesrtbreak in
English homes counts for nothing so
that their money-making go right. So
far they have gone wrong and Eng
land, as consequence, is quivering
with pain wrath. When fair minded
Englishmen receive news of dead sons
on far away battlefelds and at the
same time learn that war was resolved
upon by President Kruger only after

JACKSON CaSE-Book: 1--WE hope none
who read the Governors letter pub
lished in the Cash Book last week in
answer to paragraph which we print
ed few weeks previous criticising a
remark he made in reference to the
country press will conclude that what
we said was written with harsh and
bitter feeling for Gov. Stephens. We
read in st. Louis daily an extract
from letter he wrote TO some one
about the question of State primary,
which was as follows: The newspa-
pers have been made to believe that it
would be greatly to their interest, as
the candidates would be required to
announce. and have published in their
columns their records as citizens,
Democrats, etc.. 1t seemed to US the
meaning conveyed by the Governors
language was that the papers that
were supporting the primary method
of nominating State and district can
dIdates were doing so because their
proprietors had been led to believe
that if the plan were adopted they
would reap rich financial harvest
from the candidates. But the Gov
ernor says he did not intend that his
language should convey any such
meaning. After reading his statement,
we feel quite sure he meant nothing
discreditable to the country press; but
it does seem to US that he was unfor-
tunate in the use of language quoted. !"

that the signature will be withheld at
the request of Assemblyman Benson
and others interesting themselves in the
movement because Comptroller Nc
Cardy has said that probably $35, 900

sired object.
Mr. Benson and other members of
the council have been looking up prop
erty suitable for a market, and find
that there are several tracts of ground
that can probably be secured at a rea-
SCRABBLE price, and which are we'll To-
Gated for a central market One of
these is a block below the hill, south
of West Third street, north of Irvine

half of it would be needed for market.
This, 1t is learned. can be bought at

ground in the vicinity probably equally
suitable, which the members of the

be bought on equally favorable terms.
1t seems to be the general opinion that

soo's NEW MANAGER.
Edmund Pennington,e the General
superintendent, Promoted.


The board of directors of the 500 road
held meeting yesterday and selected
Supt Pennington to succeed F. D. I'm
derwood, resigned, as general man
ager. The Office OF superintendent is
discontinued.
Mr.. Underwood's resignation was
contained in a brief letter. in which
he expressed his regret at severing
such we'll established and pleasant re-
lations as his have been to the COM
pany.
In accepting Mr.. Uaderwood's resig-
nation, the directors unanimously
adopted the following complimentary
resolutions:
Whereas, Mr.. F. D. Underwood has
rendered his resignation as generalzmanager
of this company to take effect the 1st day of
February, 1899; now, therefore,
Resolved That the said resignation be
and the same is hereby accepted; and, be it
further
Resolved That this company parts with
Mr.. Underwood with great reluctance. His
service with the company began in it's in
well constructed and thoroughly equipped
railway in successful operation, and with all
promises for results on the business inter-
ests Of the Twin Cities and the Northwest
practically fulfilled and chiefly through the
energy, ability and wisdom OF his manage
ment. His generous nature, kind heart and
keen sense of Justice have so endeared him
to every one connected with the eompany's
service that, from the president and govern
ing board TO the humblest employee his going
will be felt as a personal loss.
ION behalf Of all who serve the company in
whatever capacity, we heartily congratulate
Mr.. Underwood on the we'll merited recogni-
ton of his abilities in his new field OF opera
ton. We feel sure that the same measure OF
success will reward his earnest devotion to
duty in the future as in the past.
Resolved. further, That the secretary OF
this company send to Mr.. Underwood copy
of the foregoing preamble and resolutions"
Edmund Pennington entered the
service of the 500 In 1886, taking the
position of superintendent, in charge of
both construction and operation. Last
April the title of general superinten-
dent was conferred ands he has lately
devoted his entire attartion to opera
ton. He came to rthe 500 from the
Milwaukee system, the only other road
with which he has been identified. He
arose from the ranks to the important
position of assistant Superintendent of
the Milwaukee.
| Mr.. Pennington was born Sept 16,
! 1S4S, at Lasalle, Ill. He entered railroad
service as a warehouse man and one
year later became a brakeman. From

sequent history being:ss Conductor three
| years; road master, two Years; superin-
