Des Are Items.

Quite a number met at the ceme-
terry last Saturday for the purpose
of cleaning it off. By noon every
thing in the form of weeds and
grass had fallen victim to a sharp
scythe. Thanks to those who
could not come and help by work,
but contributed; and to those who
did not come and work nor con-
tribute, we can't say quite SC
much. The afternoon services,
conducted by Revs. Alcorn ano
Seals, were well attended, not only
from Des Arc, but Piedmont, Bru'
not and the surrounding neighbor'
hood.
There was quite an exciting game
Of ball played here Sunday be.
tween the Des Arc team and
Keener. The Des Arc boys started
out in good shape, but as it was
their first game this season, anc
no practice, the Keener boys finally
won the game, the score being Is
to 10. The Des Arc team will play
them again in the near future.
John Stevenson and family spent
several days last week on the river
fishing. There were six families
in the crowd, four wagons, two
buggies and six bicycles; sixty
six people in all. They caught
over 100 pounds of fish, one weigh
ing 'twenty-four pounds. They
spread dinner on the ground, which
included coffee, cakes, pies and
fish. 1t was a very pleasant oc-
casion and they expect to go again
if the weather keeps warm.
| met my old friend Dick Lloyd
last week at Annapolis; he said
they had a very shameful occur
renee on Black River. The neigh
bors met to clear off the graveyard,
and that two men had a fight, one
of them being severely injured.
John Tucker and wife, of Keener,
spent Sunday in our town.

Masonic Outing.

l was one of the wise, by reason
of being lucky enough to have a
''worser half" belong to the noble
order of Free and Accepted Ma
sons, to attend a little outing a
mile southwest of Arcadia, which
was a success in every respect.
The Knights of the Golden Fleece
in ancient times met on the highest
hills and in the lowest valleys to
perform their mystic rites. On
this occasion, however, they came
out in the open in a nice little
grove shaded by big spreading
butternut trees, on a velvet sward,
where we were invited. We found
a table loaded down with barbe-
cued meat and all n~ecessaries to
satisfy the inner woman.
The Budweiser band furnished
such sweet and Intoxicating music
that friends intuitively decoyed
the good parson a respectful dis
lance, while young and old, dur
ing a short interval, tripped the
light fantastic on natures carpet.
Every one seemed well pleased
except Mr.. T~rauernicht, who Ia
mented the missing Budweiser.
l am authorized to speak for all
the ladies present that this was one
of the most enjoyable affairs that
it has ever been our pleasure to
attend, and we will insure the
Knights of the Golden Fleece that
we will never miss one of these
annual outings, where we hope to
meet upon the level and part upon
the square. X.

Iron County Teachers Association

Since the Institute has been
abolished and an Association sub
stituted in it's stead, it becomes the
duty of every teacher TO interest
himself or herself in this work and
try to make the new undertaking a
success. There is a responsibility
upon the hands of every teacher in
regard to this Association, and it
is to be hoped none will shirk.
Teachers, this work is to help
you, it is to broaden your views,
to give younew ideas, and to give
you lessons that you may carry
home with you and use in your
schoolroom. At this Association
you will meet your fellow-teacher
in exchange of ideas and you will
also meet some of the most promi-
nent educators of the State of
Missouri. We have spared no
pains to arrange a programme
which will be interesting as well
as instructive. During the three
days session we are to have
lectures by four prominent and
able schoolmen.
If your duty is performed, you
will receive a certificate of at
tendance which will entitle you to
your regular salary for two days
work. l trust that every teacher
will attend; and show that he or
she is trying to do something for
the profession and not travelling in
the ruts of years gone by. Re-
member the dates, October 1-3.
Programme will be published next
week. Very Respectfully,
o. j. BUFORD.

a month, and they expect to finish
up their annual target practice
within a few days, and commence
the march back to this post, which
they will probably reach about the

going to Arcadia, their stay there

Happy Moments

ISM" Here it was born, yes, thank
God, and the happiest moments OF
my life were July 4, 1892, while ! sat
IL. the Coliseum building in Omaha
and witnessed the birth of our grand
party, and why, because it was COM
posed of men (Americans) that were
not afraid to think and express their
thoughts. For my part, ask no high
er honor than to be classed as one OF
the Old Guard. | first saw the light
in 1847 in the state of Wisconsin, and
after drifting around until % years
OF age l came to Nebraska and started
the first settlement In this part Of the
country, dug hole in the ground and
lived in it four years. Who came af-
ter? Why, the educated fellows, the
farmers that farm the farmers, the in
fiuential fellows Well, by having

10, q glimmer, faint appearing,
Like some bow Of promise, cheering
Like the herald of blessing,
Soothes our grief, like loves caressing.
Courage, comrades, dawn Is breaking:
Light will come-mankind awaking--
Reused from the stupor OF the ages:
Men will see as did the sages.
All, those years of social blindness!
Darkness, then, mayhaps was kind
ness;
Yelling horrors-woes distressing.
Making blindness, mercy's blessing.
Truth, the light for souls illuming--
Love, the fame for hates consuming.
Friendly forces-O, how cheering,
Is the faith that they are nearing.
Haste the day, that gladstone season
Men shall see by light OF reason.
Phantoms born of darkness-blind-
ness
Vanish in the light Of kindness.
Long mankind have patient waited
Still, their woes are undated.
Greed and wrongs and wars are rag
ing
Ignorance smites, without assuaging.
Light and love, alone, are needed
Vengeance never has succeeded.
Wars and chains have had their inn
ing
Love and light are just beginning.

ficer Apana. The heavy wooden pole
which was supposed to act as a weight
to hold the awning down, struck Apana
in the face and on the chest, causing
him painful injury. The policearrested
Okomoto on a charge of common nuis-
ance under Section 345 of the Penal
Laws.
1t was claimed that he had failed to
properly secure his awning as the avn
ing which hung down on a line with
the curbstone, was loose and not Sc
cured with a rope The awning was in
consequence, a source of danger to
passing people
F.. E. Thompson entered a demurrer
to the complaint and the court sustain
ed the demurrer. There was nothing in
section 345 to cover this particular
fault. A search of the statutes failed
to find any law whatever that would
cover the case. The court said that
me could not make law. He was simply
there to interpret them. Deputy High
Sheriff Chillingworth saw that there
was no chance to convict the defendant
so he had to pass up further prosecu-
ton.
Two Chinese Tai Chong and All Kwai
were arraigned on similar charges but,
as the prosecution asked for continu-
ances, one of the cases was continued
until the noon hour and the other un-
til tomorrow. 1t is thought that some
amendments to the common nuisance
law may have been passed by the last
legislature. A more detailed search
of the statutee will be made to deter
mine if the defendants can not be
reached. 81
About the only recourse left to Apana
is a suit for damages against Okomoto
The police officer sustained severe in
ury. He is consulting an attorney and
may be advised to institute proceedings
against the owner of the awning.
The matter of the use of
hanging awnings will be brought to
the notice of the Superintendent of
Public Works. Steps may be taken by
that department to have some protec-
tion given people from being struck by
swinging poles, attached to these hang
ing awnings. Had the pole not first
struck against one of the standards on
the car, before hitting Apana, the officer
would, in all probability, have been
killed.

HAD AN INTERESTING CAREER.

maj AIN I'm lbINho llNG CAREER.
The life of the novelist Charles Reade,
which is to be published soon in Lon
don, will be of uncommon interest, be-
cause it is said to be in large part an
autobiography. While Reade's career
was not so picturesquely prosaic as that
OF Trollope,-whose matter-of-fact au-
photography surpasses in interest most
Of his novels admirable as they are
Reade was a singularly robust and vital
personality, and his life should be high
ly entertaining. Not to speak of his
fads, like house building and violin col
lecting, and his strenuous literary car
eer, which involved a prodigious and
systematic gathering of material,
Reade came into contact with most of
the notable men of this time, and was
involved in many controversies, in
which he showed himself what Alan
Brock would call bonny fighter.
