Sheriff Polk is still improving,
and is now thought to be out of all
danger. There are no new cases
of smallpox reported, and it is now
almost certain there will not be
any. The quarantine is still
strictly observed, however. 1t will
probably be a month yet before
Mr.. Polk will be permitted to leave
his room.
1t gives me pleasure to acknowl-
edge the receipt of a friendly Holt
day token from j. Lopez, Esq. l
hope the New Year, in it's pro-
gression to the next New Year,
may bear with it for him health,
prosperity and all other blessings.
If matrimony be necessary to the
full fruition of all the good l wish
him, why, We'll include even that.
The Masque Ball at the Academy
of Music Friday night of last week,
while not as largely attended as
had been anticipated, was a very
successful and pleasant affair, some
thirty couple being in attendance
who went on with the dance until
the wee sma' hours of Saturday.
The young men who were in charge
were generally complimented on
the success attending their efforts.
Rev. H. A. Stowell conducted
services at st. Paul's church last
Sunday, morning and evening.
He will have charge of this parish
and Fredericktown the present
year, holding services at these
places on alternate Sundays. Mr..
S. is a pleasing and fluent speaker,
earnest and energetic. The REG
lister hopes and believes that his
ministrations here will be attended
with success.
The opening services of the new
Baptist church will be held on
Sunday, January 9Th, at ii A. M.
Doctor j. G. Armstrong, editor of
the Central Baptist, St. Louis, will
preach the sermon. The special
collection and thank-o offering of
the day will be applied to the
furnace fund. The public are COR
daily invited to attend, especially
those friends who have so kindly
given their assistance in the cree
ton of the building.
Such reports as the following,
taken from a recent issue of the
De Soto Republican, are not calcu-
lated to prove as a healing salve to
the wounded feelings of the IRON
ton subscribers to the creamery
project: "Arcadia is to have a
new creamery and ice plant, and
the people are considering the
proposition of putting in a dynamo
in connection with above plant to
light the business houses and resi-
dence portions of the town."
A neighbor in the north end Wis
tied the great Worlds Fair during
the summer. While he saw much
to interest and amuse him at the
great show, he, evidently, became
more interested in the "Chute the
Chutes'' than anything else, and
ever since his return he has been
constructing chutes for the chill
dren. just at presenthe has one of
his hands in a sling because of a
severe cut he received while slid
ing down his latest production in
the schultz" line.
DR.. J. P. Townsend, county ply
scian, was called to visit the family
of Rev. D. P. Cole, near Quaker,
last Friday, on account of small
pox; he found Mrs. Cole much
better and doing nicely, but four
children are suffering from we'll
defined smallpox, two of them
quite sick. There is a strict quar-
antine enforced and no fears of a
spread of the disease outside the
family are entertained. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mrs. Cole contracted
the disease while in st. Louis
Potosi Independent.
Affairs of the Holladay-Klotz
Land and Lumber Company came
to a climax December 22d, when
Mrs. Holiday bought the Medley
interest for SIS, 900, which is equal
to $500, 900 for the plant. The old
board would not serve any longer
when they may reduce capital or
declare a dividend to pay this sum.
Accordingly Mrs. Holiday was
elected president and Seneca Tay-
lor vice-president. The new board
of directors is as follows: Mrs.
Holiday, John G. Settle, Chas.
Haynie, Seneca Taylor and Frank

The manager of the "Missouri
Grip and Frank Lewis, a brake
man on No. 1, had a difficulty at
the depot last Thursday evening.
Lewis was unloading the shows
baggage and the manager asked
him to handle it a little more care
fully. Lewis paid no attention to
the request and the show man
knocked him down. Lewis then
struck at the show manager with
his lantern but missed him. Next
Lewis pulled his gun, but by this
time the train al moving and the
brakeman got aboard, preventing
further trouble. Both of the par
Elephants to the scrap vowed veng-
ence on each other.
The annual distribution of seed
by the Agricultural Department at
Washington has begun. The dis
