Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1904-04-14

one OF the get-rich-quick concerns
The case has been appealed, and
it is very doubtful if the distingu-
ished gentleman will ever occupy
a cell in our prison. If the upper
courts do not change the finding
of the lower court it is very prob
able that Senator Burton is a big
enough gun to get the Presidential
pardon.
In the announcement column
this week will be found the name
of Chas. P. Damron, who is a can
didate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Prosecuting Attorney OF
Iron county. Although nota resi-
dent of the county for a great
length of time, and not generally
acquainted with our people, Mr..
Damron comes to us recommended
by those who have known him
always as a faithful and consistent
Democrat and good and true citi-
zen. He promises that should he
be honored with a nomination and
election, that he will devote his
very best efforts to the duties of
the Office. &c..
Charles Cackley, who was ar
rested near Caledonia several
months ago on the charge of MUIR
der committed in Iowa forty years
past, pleaded guilty in the Circuit
Court in Van Buren, county, Iowa,
Monday of last week and received
a sentence of ten years in the
penitentiary. The story of Cack-
ley's crime was printed in the
REGISTER at the time of his arrest.
In 1867 he killed a constable in
Van Buren, county, Iowa, made
his escape to Missouri, settled at
Caledonia and his whereabouts
were never a~scertained until a few
month since. The Pennington
(Iowa) Herald says that it would
have been hard to convict Cackley
had he stood trial. So many years
have elapsed since the murder oc-
Cured that it would have been
difficult to secure the evidence.
The following editorial from the
Globe Democrat, under the heading,
"Pride of Iron County," shows
again that merit does not go on
forever unnoted and unrewarded.
Not a 1.-THE of the whole truth is
told, but still it is a beginning:
"Iron county, Mo-, enjoys great
fame and an exalted place in the
opinion of all federal judges, be-
cause it has the best and cleanest
Jail in the State. So we'll is this
known that it is said most of the
Jail sentences of the judges desig-
nate that the prisoner shall spend
the period of his confinement there.
This accounts for the sentencing
of Senator Burton to the Iron
county Jail. It. a proud distinc-
ton for any county to have a Jail
with an excellent reputation far
and wide which recommends it to
a profession which has to confer
many guests upon it. 1t is like
the country hotel ably managed to
which the travelling drummer turns
eagerly as the end of the week ap-
proaches where he will Sunday,
and journeys many miles for that
purpose and no other. The Iron
county Jail has everything to reco-
mend it. If one must use jails, by
all means have no other than the
Iron county Jail. 1t is the para
gon. AS a mark of especial favor,
you are sent there. 1t is not the
noisome, dark and unhealthy
dungeon that answers as a place
of confinement in most county
seats. The worst feature about a
Jail is really the Jail SMELL 1t is
peculiar and characteristic. You
almost grow to believing that there
is a certain distinct effluvia con-
nected with jailbirds that they
carry with them from Jail to Jail,
for it is always the same. But the
Iron county Jail has eliminated
this, we understand. How they
have done it is a mystery that
jailers in other places should have
elucidated." To the local resi-
dents there is no mystery. At
tached to the Jail proper is a con-
servatory of ample dimensions
filled with flowers of great fra
GRANGE. All noisome smells are
overcome with the sweet odors
from violet, rose, honeysuckle,
hyacincth, jasmine, and a thous-
and others, all commingled in one
irresistible whole. The afluvia
from the uncleansed Augean
stables couldn't stand up against
these flowery beds of ease-no,
not for a single augenblick. And
all the attendants to this moder-
lied, civilized and Christianized
Bastile are conforming. The
marble portals, ever shining in
vitingly open to those on the out
side, the Administer carpets, the
hangings of storied tapestry, the
touches of eiderdown, rare bric-a-
brac, the cuisine, the menu,-all-
all are fitted one to the other in
harmonious comfort and beauty
to the grateful senses. These facts
are of course known locally and
their enumeration will create nc
surprise; but it is meet that they
be known to all the world, and we
can call on more than one st.
Louisian for their verifcation. All
such outsiders have not been
favored with a habitation within
the precincts of the "Pride of Iron
County," for "many are called and
but few chosen;" yet l have no
fear that they will Withhold their
due attestation. Come to the
Arcadia Valley-which is in Iron
