The many friends in this city OF
B. M. Loser, who was formerly
chief dispatcher under P. G.. Wal
ton, will be glad to learn that he
is steadily climbing to the top in
railroad circles. A circular issued
from the Offices of the general
superintendent of the Colorado &
Southern railroad, dated Novem-
Der 6, announces the fact that he
has been appointed trainmaster of
the northern division of the road

In last Saturday evenings mail
Mr.. Edgar received a letter post
marked st. Louis, warning him
that if he did not desist in his
prosecution of the Spaughs the
whole town of Ironton would be
wrecked. The letter was adj
dressed to "Mayer Edgar" and
signed "Thieves." OF course, it
was a bluff, pure and simple, and
frightened no one The general
opinion is that the writer of the
missive used a most appropriate
signature when he appended
"Thieves" to his note.
Services will be held at st. Paul's
church Sunday at the usual hours.
At II o'clock there will be a cele-
bration of the Holy Communion.
The morning sermon is based on
the With Psalm, or particularly
on those words of it which you
will find so beautifully illustrated
in this months issue Of the LADIES'
Home Journal. "When I consider
thy heavens n what is man
that Thou visitest him?" The
evening sermon is based on the
eleventh chapter of Ecclesiastes
and is especially applicable to
men.
VIM. Trauernicht of Middle

days ago, s'made from the pulp of
bank notes redeemed and mac
Grated by the U. S. Treasury,

by Alex. Ferguson, at one time a
stone-cutter at Graniteville, but
now a resident of New York. Just
at present he is engaged in work
on a public building at the ma
tional capital. His friends here
will learn with pleasure that he is
we'll and doing well. Mr.. Trauer-

A beautiful play, at reasonable
prices, presented by a splendid
company, has made the celebrated
play of "East Lynne one of the
few who give entire satisfaction.
1t certainly brings to the mind
and stirs the heart of all who see
it, whether once or a dozen times.
This time-honored play of EAST
Lynn has stood the test OF years,
playing to enlightened and select
ed audiences and always pleasing
them. No higher praise can be
awarded to the leading star, Miss
Addrene LaPorte, the beautiful
emotional actress, than to say that
she lights the play with a charm
and pleasing, winning ways which
captivate the audience from start
to finish. She is pr~overbially ex-
cellent and her robes certainly
polish and elevate the play
throughout this grand production.
The st. Louis papers of Friday
and Saturday last were filled with
rot telling of a plan concocted here
to mob the Spaughs when they
were taken through Iron county
by the Reynolds county sheriff,
on their way to Centreville for
trial. The story was based on a
letter which the Spaughs claimed
was mailed them at Pilot Knob
and delivered in the st. Louis Jail.
If such a letter was received it was
written by some of the murderers'
friends and was false in every par
ticular. The st. Louis %jailer, Daw-
son, was quick to believe the story
and hurried to telegraph Governor
Folk for an extra guard for the
Reynolds county sheriff. This
fellow Dawson is very officious, it
seems to us, and instead of being
the keeper of a jail, wants to pose
before the people of Missouri as a
mighty man. The sheriff of Rey-
nolds county passed through here
on an early train Sunday morn
ing with his prisoners, and DO at
tempt was made to modest them.
Nor was any attempt contemplate
ed. 1t OCCURS to us that after
while the st. Louis papers would
cease printing this silly rot.
Up to the time of going to press
"Wednesday noon-there is nc
important news from the Reynolds
county circuit court. When the
case against the Spaughs was
called Monday the attorneys fol
