Some Iron county McHannaites are
again yowping about .'seeing the
books" Well, the books can be seen
at any time by anybody. They are
public property. And when they are
seen it will be seen that the bulk of
Iron county taxes is paid by Democrats.

The millinery opening at Lopez's
Monday attracted a large number of
lady visitors, all of whom were de-
lighted with the exquisite display of
fall and winter millinery. Miss Laugh
lin certainly had the hats and bounets
most hastily and elegantly arranged
and compliments were showered on
her from every quarter. Some very
useful souvenirs were distributed to
the visitors.
Work has been discontinued in the
shaft at Pilot Knob. The shaft is over
two hundred and seventy feet deep
with no paying ore in sight. aud it was
expected t reach the ore at a depth of
about two hundred and fifty feet. Evil
IDENTIFY, some q has made a serious
and extravagant blunder. IT'S but the
~silliest rot and nonsense to attribute
the closing down to political reasons
and any effort to do so is as contempti-
BILE as it is false.
The ladies will learn with pleasure
that Miss Lulu Gillian will have her
Fall Millinery Opening on Friday of
this week. and that the display of
goods will be such as to call forth
their approval. A cordial invitation
is extended to all to come and see the
novelties in Fall and Winter Bonnets.
Miss Gillam's excellent taste is ac-
k~nowledged by her numerous patrons,
and the REGISTER assures them to-mor-
rows display will confirm their judg-
ment. A souvenir will be presented
each lady.
Sheriff Bowers brought James Miner
and Will Stephens to town Tuesday
charged with burglary and larceny.
On the 14th inst. some one b~urglarized
the store of Eaton Bros. of Edge Hill.
James Miner was al ouce suspected
aud a watch put over him. On Mon
day last, the stolen goods were found
near Miners house and he ~thereupon
made q confession to the theft. He
also implicated Will Stephens, but
after having been placed under arrest
by the sheriff said Stephens was not
with him. Stephens says he was at
home on the night of the 18th, and
that he can establish the fact by three
as good men as there is in the county,
and we are satisfied he can do what he
says. Since Miner was brought to
town he says be got the goods found
in his house from Jim Gallaher, son of
John Gallaher. Miner is a bad man
and the sooner he is landed behind
the bars the better it will be.-Rey-
holds Outlook.
Last Friday sheriff Bowers started
t Ironton with Miner to place him 10
Jail here. In the neighborhood of Tip
Top Miner succeeded in giving the
sheriff the slip and made good his
escape. Bowers came on to Ironton
and he and sheriff Gregory made a
visit to the vicinity where Miner got
away, but they secured no trace and
the fugitive continued his flight un-
interrupted. Sheriff Bowers returned
to Reynolds county the following day.
Next morning he located Miner near
his old home and took him in charge.
Monday he brought the prisoner here
where he will remain in Jail until the
November term of the Circuit Court.
Ironton had two attractions last
Friday-Joe Flory was one, Long
Bros. Palace Shows the other. Meth
er one cut any great ice. In fact the
critic would be bound to pronounce
them both as rather bum shows. They
both reached town about the same
time-at moo Long Bros. came by
wagon from the waters of 'the raging
Black" where they had exhibited the
day before. They were met at the
northern limits of the own by a dele
cation of small boys who heartily
cheered as the twenty-five or thirty
wagons composing the circus came il
to view. Joe Flory came from Poplar
Bluff and arrived on the noon train.
His august person was duly guarded
and protected by the Des Arc Flory
Club-about twenty strong-under the
command Of Capt. Joseph Brooks,
Lieutenants Graves and Rsney, and
Corporal Crowley. A delegation Of
local statesmen me the Hon. Joseph
at the station and escorted him down
town in a carriage while the d. A.
Flory Club - Captain, L~ieutenants,
Corporal and p~rivates, all-was left to
find its way as best it could. By rea
son of the fact that Long Bros. and
the Hon. Joe were both billed for that
day there were quite a number of peo-
pie in town. Enough to secure a good
crowd for one attraction. But not
| enough for two. What should they
do? Show people do not often antag-
onize each other. Nor was there any
exception made on this occasion. A
compromise was effected. Joe held
forth in the courthouse in the after
noon and Long Bros. held the boards
at the show grounds at night. About
one o'clock the Ironton band ''tuned
up" marched down the. street, played
