II. X. Smiths place as superln-
tendent. Mr.. Hollister comes
highly recommended as a railroad
man and a pleasant gentleman.
The report that Mr.. Hopkins was
to succeed Mr.. Daniels was a mis-
take as he preferred to hold his
old position a train Dispatcher

Some months ago Lewis Delano,
son of w. H. Delano, stood an ex-
animation in st. Louis, for ap-
pointment in the engineering SER
vice of the Panama Canal Com
mission. Monday, Lewis received
word that he had satisfactorily
passed the examination and had
secured an appointment. He will
leave for Panama about the first
of August. His rank in the COM
mission is the same as that of a
second lieutenant in the army.
We congratulate III young friend
and are certain he will be success
full.
The professional horse trader
the man who travels from county
to county doing nothing but trad
ing horses-we've observed him
more or less closely the past ten
or twenty years, and we can't see
that he is of much benefit to the
community, and, on the contrary,
he's frequently quite a detriment.
1t seems to us that a tax, and a
pretty high one, should be put on
his business. Then there prob
ably would not be nearly so many
of them, and perhaps those that
did visit us would be more de-
sirable.
Albert Foust and Ed. Hubbard,
of Admission, are making a short
sojourn in the Ironton Jail, by au-
thority of the United States court.
The two young fellows have re-
Gently been selling a co~ncoction at
Admission which the buyers thought
was beer. Foust and Hubbard,
however, had the guarantee of the
manufacturers that it was not beer.
This did not prevent the govern
ment from prosecuting and con-
victing them of selling intoxicat-
ing liquors in defiance of the
restrictions placed around such an
act.-Charleston Enterprise.
Among those from other locali-
ties in attendance at the Arcadia
College Commencement were the
Revs. H. Hussman, of Charleston;
Geo. Kuhlmann, of Holy Name
church, st. Louis; VIM. Noonan
and F. Geiermann, De Soto; l..
Herman, Old Mines; and Messrs.
VIM. Huelsmann, of the Theolog-
ical Seminary, st. Louis; M. Has
tings, st. Louis; and F. Lucius, of
Bismarck. Fathers Wernert, Tin
trup and Huber were, of course,
present and saw to the car and
entertainment of their brother cler-
gy and other visitors.
The hauling of so much freight
over the Thebes bridge that for
merly passed over this portion of
the road, is throwing many rail-
road men on this division out of a
job, and some of them will have to
seek employment elsewhere. 1t is
said that the conductors who have
been SO long employed on the
pushers here, will probably soon
be succeeded by colder heads
who can no longer find salts
factory employment on the line.
Conductor Whelahon, who has
been on the pusher many years,
has been succeeded by Henry
Evans who, in former years, was
on the pusher.
The Clarkson Saw Mill Com
pany's holdings in this county and
Wayne county, including lands,
stores, Missouri Southern Railroad
and the saw mill and planer plant
at Leeper, have been sold to a
Chicago capitalist. We could not
get any of the particulars of the
deal except what is stated above.
Neither do we know what effect
the sale will have on the numerous
small saw mills that are cutting
lumber under contract for the
Clarkson Company. If these con-
tracts should be cancelled i'm
medi ately it would be a hard blow
to some of the mill men who have
been at a big expense and haven't
yet realized anything hardly from
their contracts. Reynolds County
