thinks he's in pretty hard luck; and
so do we.
The troops at the range left Tues
day for Jefferson Barracks. The last
two weeks of their stay the soldiers
'~'boycotted" Ironton because two of
their number had been arrested and
placed in Jail by the city authorities
for most disorderly conduct. The city
authorities were perfectly justified,
and only did their duty. The military
mar is much inclined to the idea that
he should not be subject to civil regu-
lations. Well tell them this, though:
when in Arcadia Valley they will have
to track, the law or pay the consequence.
Several persons came near meeting
death by drowning while trying to
cross the ford at Flat River on last
Sunday. This ford is usually deep and
the swollen condition of the river made
it very dangerous water indeed. Hen
~ Skies fist attempted TO cross, but
his buggy was overturned and with
difficulty he saved himself and team,
and later with the assistance of Bert
Bowland and some ropes he drew the
buggy ashore only 20 find that a num-
Der OF articles which he had placed in
the buggy had washed out aud away.
Later in the day a team and carriage
from Ironton with two ladies, a little
child and the driver got into swimming
water. The driver deserted the wom-

Williams and two other men succeeded
in rescuing the ome and child

The Building Committee OF the new
Presbyterian church wishes to correct
a misrepresentation of the meaning of
the term collector" as used in the
communication last week. There will
be no resorting to the law to collect
any pledge on the subscription list,
but it is the purpose to send q member
Of the subscription committee to re-
ceive subscriptions unpaid by July Is.
This will be done as a matter of con
venience to the subscribers as well as
to hasten the collection OF the pledges.
The church does not want any money
that is not given freely. 1t is inferred.
however, that all who have subscribed
will willingly pay the amount of their
subscriptions when called upon, or
make satisfactory arrangements to pay
later if ~iuconvenient to do so at once.
1t should be remembered that all the
pledges were due March LIST, 1900.
