To reduce criminal costs the Morton
act provides that policemen, consta-
oles and all public officials on salary
are forbidden to collect witness fees in
criminal cases unless they must travel
more than five miles to testify. 1t is
also provided that when a witness
owes fines or is delinquent in his taxes
he cannot collect witness fees until he
has paid what he owes to the county.
| The Des Arc and Ironton mines play
ed fine game of ball on the grounds
here last Sunday afternoon. A large
crowd witnessed the game, which was
hotly contested and we'll played on
both sides. 1t was nip and tuck"
clean through to the last inning, and
when finished the score stood 9 to 8 in
favor of Ironton. We understand an
tnf nj h.
week at the Des Arc grounds, and no
doubt a ''hot game" will result.
The Ursuline Academy opened last
Monday with good attendance. The
usefulness of this school is being ex-
tended from year to year, and the
REGISTER believes its merits will soon
make it one of the leading educational
institutions of the State. The good
Sisters proceed in their work without
| bIare of trumpet or sound of drum,
but their work is thorough and con-
scientious, and every pupil going from
its portals out into the world is living
| testimonial 10 the excellence of the
Arcadia College under its present
management.
VIM. Brewer, insane, was brought
to Ironton from Annapolis Tuesday by
Constable Knight, and placed in Jail
for safe-keeping until next day, when,
under the direction of the Probate
Judge, a jury was summoned to pass
upon the case. After hearing the tes-
timony the jury found Mr.. Brewer to
be insane and recommended that he
be sent to the asylum. He is indeed
| 'smad as March hare'-has forgot
ten where his residence is, his family,
and everything else. 1t is hoped,
though, that he may recover under
skilled treatment.
The most inexplicable thing in this
sublunary sphere to one of the sterner
sex is to sit, shirt-sleeved, sweltering
in the shade, his beaming mug famed
! by the scorching breezes, his eyes ach-
ing from the glare of the sun on street
and wall-to sit wearily thus and see
go tripping by a dimity dressed mem
Der of the fairer half of creation, cool
as a cucumber, unruftled as sleeping
sea, and apparently unconscious that
the zephyrs of May are not playing DER
her browi The uneveness of things in
this world is not the least of Natures
comprehensibllities.
On last Thursday afternoon at 8
o'clock a number of friends were in
vited to the home of Mrs. John H.
Jones of this place. An informal con-
cert among her pupils was the feature
of the occasion. Those present were
Mrs. Medley, Arcadia; Mrs. John
Nagel, Mrs. Anton Roehry, Mrs. Emil
Mark, Mrs. H. o. Davis, Miss Ollie
Davis, Mrs. A. F. Bond and Mrs. Thad.
Saltz. The pupils were Misses Mamie
Roehry. Hattie Davis, Maud Saltz,
Lydia Nagel and Messrs. Emil Roehry
and Franco Bond. Toward the close
classical instrumental and vocal solo
was beautifully rendered by Mrs.Joues.
All enjoyed very pleasant afternoon.
The ladies of the Home Mission So
cIety and the young ladies of the Ep-
worth League of Fort Hill last Thurs
DAY evening presented to Mrs. l.. F.
Aspley an elegant cut glass caraffe and
glasses from Mermod-JaccardC Co., ST.
Louisa slight token of the esteem
and love they feel toward the recipient.
Rev. Aspley and his better-half have
been residents of the Valley four years,
and, did the law of the church permit,
and the will of the parishioners pre-
| vail. that residence would be indefi
| nitely extended. But it cannot be,
and in evidence of their regret at
parting and as a souvenir of their
pleasant relations, the ladies Of Fort
| Hill have done this thing.
The REGISTER learns with great re-
gret that DIR. E. L. Barnhouse of Mt.
Sterling. Iowa, has had the misfortune
to lose leg. He was injured in a
runaway several weeks ago. and it was
hoped that the broken limb might be
saved; but lately the Inflammation
was such as to threaten blood poison
ing, and amputation was resorted to to
save the patients life. DR.. Farmhouse
is most promising physician, aud is
known to all our people-for he passed
his boyhood and youth here-as man
of talent, industry and integrity. The
writer's relations to him were for some
time intimate, and he does not know of
any one more deserving. We hope to
soon hear of his recovery.
The REGISTER commends to the at
tentiou of the authorities here the fol-
| lowing, taken from the Hib5ard Ban
ner: ..From a worthy member of that
honorable body we learn that, at its
last term the County Court authorized
the Sheriff to purchase car load OF
