Monday morning on going to the
post-office we discovered a large
picture posted in the front door,
that at first glance we took to be a
likeness of our postmaster himself,
but closer inspection showed it to
be a picture of another celebrated
citizen-the late George Washing
ton. Underneath the likeness were
these words: "This great and good
man is gone, but | am still here.
The Postmaster" tits said that the
great similarity between "the
father of his country and Mr..
Bishop is that neither one of them
was ever known to tell a falsehood.
During the past week Station
Agent George F. Smith received
orders from the M. R. & B. T. Rail-
way Company to furnish tickets
from this station to Riverside to
several Russian miners who have
been at work in the mines of the
Desloge Consolidated Lead Com
pany and st. Louis Smelling and
Refining Company. These men
have been here a few years, but
have not taken out naturalization
papers, and, being citizens of
Russia, they are now compelled to
return to their native country on
account of the Japan-Russia war.

Hog cholera may be prevented,
as well as cured, is the announce
ment made by Doctor R. E. Ora
ham, recent bacterologist of Mis-
souri, University. He has dis
covered that hogs may be i'm
muned against cholera by mean
of incubation, after exactly the
same manner that cattle on the
Missouri Agricultural Farm are
now being rendered immune from
Texas fever. Doctor Graham has
held the theory for three years.
Assisted by Doctor w. R. Shaefer,
he began in 1901 a system of ex-
periments, and has since then in
oculated over 1000 hogs, the work
being conducted on herds in all
sections of the State, and under
varying conditions. A test Ok
pertinent was made in Boone
county on a herd of 100, the hogs
being first inoculated with the pre-
ventaitve and then exposed to the
disease. Out of the herd thus
treated no case of infection was
reported. Doctor D.. F.. Luckey,
State Veterinarian, has announced
that hog cholera is now raging in
all parts of Missouri, with indica-
tons that all previous records will
be broken, and Doctor Graham has
announced that he will put his dis
covery to an immediate test by
checking the disease.
E. H. Amelung, a former Pilot
Knob boy, now Superintendent of
the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany at Saginaw, Michigan, writes
us a very pleasant letter and en-
closes some Prudential literature.
From the literature we learn that
Mr.. Amelung is making a most
enviable reputation in the life in
surance, and he is rapidly mount
ing the ladder to success and for
tune. He has many friends here
back in the old home who are glad
to know that he is doing so well.
Mr.. Amelung is most gracious in
his remarks about the REGISTER.
Among other things he says:
"Your paper is always a welcome
visitor. 1t keeps me in touch with
the doings of the Arcadia Valley,
which brings so many pleasant
"reminiscences. A good many pa
pers were launched in Ironton, but
none seemed to have the sailing
Qualities that the good old REG
IsTER has. May she sail down the
stream of life for a good many
years, is my heartiest wish. The
winter up here has been the most
severe this locality has seen for
thirty years. Snow has been on
the ground since before Thanks
