We've seen a good many rain
bow chasers in our time, but this
fellow Rhodes, from Washington
county, who thinks he is a candi-
date for Congress from this dis
trict, beats them all. When the
votes are counted Mr.. Rhodes will
realize that he wasn't in the fight
at ALL.
Perkins has received two new
lenses, ''the latest" and is pre-
pared to make pictures from mini
ature to life-size in all the improv-
cd styles, also landscape viewing,
instantaneous views of moving
objects, horses trotting, etc. Fam
lily groups and children a speciality.
Good pictures or no charge.
The trial of O. P. McCarver, of
| St. Francois county, for killing
Harry Lett last November, C
cupied the time of the circuit court
in Pennington last week. Several
days were consumed in the trial

of guilty of murder in the irst de-
gree. The case has been appealed
to the supreme court.
There will be a mass meeting of
the Democrats of Iron county at
the courthouse Saturday, Septem-
Der 18th, for the purpose of select
ing delegates to the judicial con-
vention at Piedmont. As MI.
Berkeley of Jefferson county has
already secured enough votes to
give him the nomination there will
not likely be any contest at the
meeting here.
We know two people who made
a trip to Middlebrook this week.
They didn't know that the genial
and hospitable VIM. Trauernicht
was sojourning in the Golden
State, and they came back disap-
pointed and dry. OF course, they
stopped at the artesian well in
north Knob town but that didn't
relieve their thirst like Williams
hospitality does.
Hon. H. Fl. Hohenschild, archi-
tect of State Hospital No. 4, is
here this week. The plans for the
Hospital building are completed
ana the contract for the foundation
was let last Wednesday to j. w.

begun at once. The contract for
the building will be let at the next
meeting of the Board of Managers
