The Frisco Ore Mining Company
is preparing to make extensive i'm.
provements-at the Carson mine,
which is owned snd operated by
the company. When these inn
provements are made the Carson
mine will be among the largest
producers of iron ore in Missouri
and the force of miners to be en-
ployed will be largely increased,
There is now being erected a large
washer to be used in cleaning the
ore in order that it can be shipped
to the smelter free from clay and
dirt. This washer was designed
by w. F. McClurg, manager of the
company, and there is not another
one anywhere in the country.
Last month Mr.. McClurg made a
tour of inspection to the great iron
mining district around Birming-
ham, Ala. He made the trip in
order to investigate the latest i'm
proved methods for handling iron
ore.-Howeu County Gazette.
The case of State VS.. George
Jones was tried Wednesday of last
week and the jury assessed a fine
of one hundred dollars and costs.
The case vas going to be appeal
ed, but by agreement of the at
torneys the defendants agreed to
pay the fine and costs on condition
that the case of Ed. Jones be dis
missed at cost of defendant, which
was done. The charge against
the Jones boys was carnally know
ing one Neoma Kemper, a girl
fourteen years of age. The whole
affair is to be regretted very much.
From the testimony it seems that
the Kemper girl and the Jones boys
were attending a graded school in
Brunot last February. The girl
was rather "fast'' for her years and
permitted the boys to seduce her.
Both families connected with the
matter have heretofore borne the
best of regulations, and the matter
on both sides is very deplorable.
This is a lesson to parents to more
carefully train up and guard their
young girls, and to young men and
boys to keep in the way of virtue
and morality. The costs in the
cases aggregate about S500.00.-

Four or five weeks ago a couple
of travelling men went from this
city to Newport on. Iron Mountain
passenger train No. 1, which leaves
this city ats. Is at night. The train
was badly crowded and among the
passengers were two negro men
from ST. Louis. They occupied
separate seats in the car known as
the ''ladies' car" They were told
to go forward to the negro apart
ments and complied, but found
that car badly crowded and no
seats available. They then re-
turned to the car they had just left
and each sat down beside the two
above mentioned drummers. The
drummers protested to the con-
ductor, who was unable to remedy
the matter. The two drummers
got off the train at Newport, both
very angry. The next morning
they learned that the Newport
grand jury was in session and both
went before that body with the
result that two true bills were re-
turned against the Iron Mountain
railroad company, fol. a violation
of the Arkansas State laws of al
lowing negroes to occupy the same
passenger coach with white people.

Last Thursday afternoon oc-
CURED one of those deplorable ac-
cidents which, it seems, come to
teach us that there is a fate which
neither desire nor painstaking can
affect in its working out the des-
TIMES of men. There is no more
careful man in my acquaintance,
nor n more scrupulously atten-
tive to his work, than DR.. A. S.
Prince, dentist, of this town. His
life since attaining manhood has
been spent in this community, and
I know of no one standing higher
in his profession as we'll as in his
person. On the day named while
treating; a patient, Mrs. Dubacher,
from Graniteville, at her request
for a little brandy, he reached up
to a shelf behind him where were
rangedsa number of phiaIs, and
he took up the wrong phial-that
is all! You or | might have made
a like mistake, how easily! The
lady lived less than an hour, and
darkness fell upon the home which
knew her as wife and mother. My
heart goes out to all, but more
especially to him who, however
innocent, is still self-accuser. Yet
it must give him some comfort in
his great aouble to know that we
who know him and respect him
have no other for him than
the sifcerest sympathy.

for many reasons; for instance, in
counting, after they count to TWEEN
ty-nine, they form thirty by say
ing, "Inyuenuk kolinyack" Gwen
ty and ten), ETC., SO that by the
time they arrive at seventy they
say, '~'pinyetsuke epeuk kolin-
yack" three times twenty and
ten). When they add a pronoun
to a noun they generally change
