Rev. Geo. Steel, land register al
Ironton, Mo-, was here attending
court Monday and made the News
a pleasant call. Mr.. Steel will
shortly have to give up his Office,
as the work of this and the Boom
vile districts is to be consolidated
with that of the Springfield dis
trict on July 1, as stated in last
weeks issue. He has been pastor
of the Baptist church at Ironton for
the past several years and expects
to continue with the congregation
there for the present at least
Pennington News.
The editor is in receipt of a card
of invitation from Mr.. and Mrs.
Alonzo Colquitt johnson, of Cor

ence at the marriage of their
daughter, Elizabeth, and Mr.. Will
liam Hargadine Thomson, of st.
Louis, Tuesday evening, June 6,
1905, at $3.50 o'clock, at the First
Methodist church, Corsicana. The
bridegroom is we'll known in the
Valley, and the REGISTER echoes
the wishes of many friends in
hoping that his future and that of
his bride from the Southland be
replete with happiness.

Mr.. F. Kleppsattle received a
letter last Tuesday from his
daughter, Miss Lizzie, saying that
she and Walter Day were married
last Saturday night at Ironton.
Miss Lizzie left here Saturday
afternoon as a delegate to the
grand lodge meeting of the Degree
of Honor at Jefferson City, and it
is supposed that Walter met her
at Bismarck and they went to
Ironton and were married. Walter
was at Chester, ILL.,, and came over
to Bismarck. After the marriage,
Miss Lizzie went on to Jefferson
City and Walter returned to his
work at Chester. - Frederickto,vn

I have known this Valley and
have seen it in successive heat and
cold, sunshine and rain, in the
bloom of spring and death Of
winter, for nigh unto fifty years,
but in all that time never before
did my eyes rest upon so mag
nifcent a rainbow as hat that
spanned the eastern horizon Tues
day evening Of last week. 1t had
been raining all the afternoon, and
the clouds were unusually dark and
lowering; but about $3.50 o'clock
the sun asserted his mastery and
rent asunder the veil that had
hidden his face. As if to celebrate
his victory he builded an arch
whose beauty and dimensions far
exceeded the utmost conception of
men. Its very reflex was more
clearly defined and shone more
brightly than the ordinary chow
of promise" The northern foot
of the span rested on the side of
EPilot Knob, while it's southern base
was upon the mountains of the
Shut-In, the zenith of the arch
rising almost to the center of the
heavens. All the prismatic colors
were clearly defined in such
breadth and depth that one was
almost led to doubt the passing
unsubstantiality of the display.
A question of much Importance
to all lodgemen was raised in the
circuit court here Monday in the
case of Riley L. Hogan VS.. the
Modern Brotherhood of America.
Mr.. Hogan became a member of
that order in January, 1904, and
was expelled in September, 1904.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Hogan con-
tracted consumption prior to the
date of his expulsion, but the
specific ground for his expulsion,
as set forth by him in his petition,
is that the lodge contends that he
incorrectly answered a material
question in his application for
membership, to-wit: That he had
answered "No" to the question,
"Have any of your parents, grand
parents, brothers or sisters, or any
aunts or uncles been afflicted with
consumption, etc." when, in fact,
as the lodge claims, his mother and
tsister had died of consumption.
After his expulsion he continued
to tender his dues each month but
the lodge refused to receive the
same. On the 9th of March, 1905,
he filed an application for writ OF
mandamus to compel the lodge to
reinstate him, and the peremptory
writ was issued by the judge Of the
circuit court, Mr.. Hogan claiming
that his nSWer TO the above oreS-
