call for township meetings, to be
held in the various townships
throughout the county next Satur-
day, to select delegates to a coun-
ty convention, to be held in IRON
ton September oath, to nominate a
county ticket. 1t has not yet been
fully determined, we understand,
whether the ticket will be straight
Republican or independent. 1t
may be independent in name, but
it will be Republican in everything
else.
This section was visited by an
unusually heavy hail storm SUM-
day afternoon about three o'clock.
The hail was accompanied by
considerable wind and some rain.
For about ten minutes the hail GER
tainly came down. Leaves were
stripped from the trees and vege-
tation generally considerably dam
aged. The hail storm was local
and only extended a short distance
south of here. 1t was more severe
north. Saturday evening and
Sunday morning were very warm
but the storm cooled the air and
Sunday night was positively cold.
The REGISTER this week prints
the story of the killing of Jake
Woolem in Desloge last week, as
told by the Lead Belt News. VIM.
Woolem, of Pilot Knob, father of
the murdered boy, says that the
account therein given of the shoot
ing is true, with this exception:
he says that Jake Woolem had
not been at the saloon drinking
with the Millers, that he never met
them in his life before the shoot
ing occurred. Mr.. WOODEN also
says that Jake was not drinking
that day at all, and that the
physicians who waited on him will
SO testify.
A big revival meeting is in pro-
gress at Bismarck under the
auspices of the M. E. church,
North. Services have been held at
the station while No. %, the south
bound Belmont train, stopped
there for dinner. One day last
week while these services were in
progress a young man, we'll dress
ed, stepped up to the minister in
charge, gave him his hand and
shed some tears. Then he board
ed the train and it required two of
the train men to keep him in his
seat until the train reached DeLas-
sus. 1t seemed to be a case of de-
lirium tremens.
: Conductor Collett, who came in
on his usual run Saturday, train
i. No. 4, says he was compelled to
let at least seventy-five or eighty
| persons remain at Little Rock be-
cause he could not accommodate
them with seats. They likely
found accommodation on No. 20,
However, people from this city
} who visit st. Louis frequently, are
often compelled to stand, and we
!, believe the Mountain could well
| afford to add at least anaadditional
, coach to each one of it's trains out
, of Poplar Bluff. The experiment
, would cost but little and would aio
! I materially in getting the travelling
! !. public to it's destination .-Popla1

We understand that work is be-
3 ing done down this side of Perry
! ! vile on the Houck road to thi'
l place. The road has been chart
cred andwe may expectt to have the
the road before many months. L
: will require a few thousand dollar!
to get the right of way but tina
7 will be a small matter. Mr.. Frank
!. lin has had a talk with the manag'
! ers of the electric road at Farming
ton and they seem to favorablJ
consider the question of running
that road on to this place. W.
Just must have some better railroad
facilities and we will have then
e before long.-Fredericktown Tribune
