Tribune.
j. Placht & Son, music dealers,
st. Louis, send us a calendar fo1
1904, which is a beauty and some
what personal to the editor. Only
the flutist ought to take on a few
years and be playing left-handed.
Nearly all the trains have been
late the past week. Several years
ago all our trains were just about
as regular as could be. But it has
been vastly different the last two
or three years. Why, we can't I'M
derstand.
The following officers were
elected for a year in The Baptist
Ladies' Aid Society: Mrs. j. N.
Bishop, president; Mrs. VIM. A.
Fletcher, vice president; Mrs.
Louis Miller, secretary; Mrs. G. A.
Buckley, treasurer.
The truck on the engine of No.
10 jumped the track just south of
the station at Arcadia Sunday
morning about four o'clock. In
consequence the track was blocked
for over four hours and all the
north bound passenger trains were
delayed until nearly nine o'clock.
Perry county will let the contract
for building a 100000 jail in a few
days. Louis Miller of Arcadia
will make a bid for the contract.
We can assure our Perry county
friends that if Mr.. Miller is the
successful bidder everything will
be done strictly according to con-
tract.
The REGISTER readers will re-
call an article we printed several
weeks ago, reproduced from the
Lutesville Banner, relative to Mrs.
Winfield, the music teacher in
Fredericktown. Because of the
afore said article Mrs. Winfield
has instituted a suit for damages
against the Banner.
We were mistaken last week in
saying that Mr.. Rieke has aban-
doned the idea of putting up his
house on his recently acquired LOT
on Main street, opposite from the
l.. 0. O. F. Hall. He will put uE
the building just as soon as the
weather is favorable. 1t will be a
very creditable structure.

church next Sunday morning and
evening. Sunday school $3.50;
preaching at II o'clock A. M. G,
E. at 6:45 P. M. and evening SER
vice at 1880. Attention is drawn

j. w. Callahan last week sold
his commission business in Iron

Madlinger who will conduct the
business under the name of the
Arcadia Valley Commission Com
pany. Emmett Gunton will be in
charge. Mr.. Callahan will engage
in the bushes at some point in
Iowa.
The whistle at the hub factory
sounded the alarm of fire about
half-past five o'clock Monday
evening. A flue was burning out
on the residence of Mrs. Rasche,
in the north end of town and the
roof had got on fire. A crowd
rapidly assembled and the flames
were extinguished before any great
damage was done.
Mr.. j. N. Bishop was Monday
confirmed by the United States
Senate as postmaster at Ironton
for the ensuing four years. We
congratulate MI. Bishop on his
preferment. He is a most courte-
Gus and accommodating official and
we are glad he has been reap
pointed. He is d~eservedly popular,
and no appointment could be more
satisfactory to the patrons of the
office.
George Lester of Lesterville, the
same party who assaulted a minis
ter over there a couple of years
ago, was arraigned before the U.
S. Commissioner here last Satur-
day evening on the charge of sell
ing whiskey without paying the
government license. Lester pro-
tested his innocence but the evil
