past ten years or more we are told
that the residents of that town have
paid no municipal tax, neither
have they been subject to road tax.

The following is reproduced from
last Fridays st. Louis Republic:
"Bereft of anything that savored
of a romance, Miss Maude Edgar,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. R.
Edgar, of Ironton, Mo-, and Lieu
tenant Anton Zurich, Jr., of the
Fourth United States Cavalry, sta
toned at Jefferson Barracks, were
yesterday afternoon married in
the parlors Of the Southern Hotel.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Carroll M. Davis of Christ
Church Cathedral. The wedding
was the elimination of an ac-
quaintance between the young
army officer and Miss Edgar while
a squadron Of the Fourth Cavalry
was at target practice at the Ar
cadia range near Ironton, Mo-,
three years ago. Realization of
the uncertainties of the life and
fortunes Of a soldier came to the
bride-to-be several days ago when
she was informed by her iance
that his squadron had received
orders to leave Jefferson Barracks
and proceed October 18th to
Monterey, Cal. The wedding was
to have taken place during the
holidays with suspicious festivities
at the BRIDES home in Ironton, but
the unexpected orders for the COM
mand to which Lieutenant Zurich
is attached caused the young
couple to change their plans to the
end that they were married yester-
day. Those present at the cere-
mony were confined to the parents
of the bride and a few friends of
the young persons. Miss Virginia
Hazard, of Webster, acted as
bridesmaid and Captain James B.
Hughes as best man. Miss Sue
Whitworth, of Little Rock, Ark,
the brides cousin, and Captain H.
G. Benson, of X Troop, Fourth
United States Cavalry, were among
those present. Lieutenant and
Mrs. Zurich will remain in st.
Louis several days before depart
ing for a tour of Eastern cities and
summer resorts, to remain a
month. The bride is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. R. Edgar, OF
Ironton. Mr.. Edgar has for three
terms been Mayor of Ironton, is a
we'll known banker of that town,
and for many years has been
prominently identified in the Dem.
ocratic party of the State and Iron
county. While a young officer,
Lieutenant Zurich has an enviable
record. During the Spanish
American war he enlisted in the
First South Dakota Volunteers. a
regiment which in the closing
months of the war with Spain and
the instruction that followed in
the PHILIPPINE Islands, bore more
than its share of the brunt OF
battle. Lieutenant Zurich was
brevetted for bravery in a hand
to-hand conflict, and when he
sought appointment as a Lieuten-
ant in the regular army, Colonel
Frost, who commanded his regi-
ment, in a letter to President Nc
Kinley said there was none in his
command more worthy of wear
ing the shoulder straps. Lieuten-
ant Zurich was severely wounded
in the battle Of Calumpit. His APP
pointment was made by President
Mckinley and Endorsed by the
Senate, but his commission was
signed by President Roosevelt,
Lieutenant Zurich is distinctlvely
a Westener, a native Of South Da-
kota, and is decidedly popular
among the officers at Jefferson
Barracks, and is held in high
esteem by the priyates and nom
commissioned officers of his regi-
ment, and particularly Of X Troop
to which he Is attached"
