Boston, Mass, will appeal from
Judge Williams decision in the
construction of the wills of the
late John w. Emerson and Sarah
M. Emerson. If the case goes to
the Supreme Court it will prob
ably be three years before the
matter is adjudicated.
Our young friend, Aug. Trauer-
NIGHT, the genial railroad agent at
Middlebrook, is taking a 'lay-
off," This is Augustus first vaca-
ton in six years, and he is GER
tainly entitled to a rest. He will
probably not return to work at
Middlebrook, but be employed at
some other point. We will say
this for August: he keeps the neat
est, cleanest, best arranged depot
of any man we know Of.
While we are unable to ascer-
tain that an official announcement
has been made in regard to the
matter, yet it seems to be under
stood that the excursion, which
has been advertised from st.
Louis to the Valley for next Sum
day, will be abandoned. This, in
retaliation, because of the enact
ment of the two-cent law. Surely,
the big railroads have some very
small men at the head of affairs.
A w. G. T. U. was organized at
Ironton on Tuesday, July 10th, by
Mrs. Lora S. LaMance, State Or
ganizer, with the following officers:
Mrs. Bert Langdon, president;
Mrs. L. S. Whitworth, secretary
Mrs. Olga Gay, treasurer. Mrs.
M. j. Francis was made press
superintendent, and will conduct
a w. G. T. U. column in the REG
IsTER. Eight active and one
honorary members were secured.
A citizen of Iron county, who
recently visited Jefferson City,
was informed by the Governor or
his pardon attorney, Speed Mosby,
that some respectable people
here were asking that executive
clemency be extended Bill Spaugh,
but that they did not want their
names to be made public, for fear
that they would suffer violence at
the hands of our citizens. Gre
spectacle" people, indeed. Well
have to see their names before we
are convinced.
A representative of the federal
government recently visited Iron
ton, for the purpose of securing
statistics as to the number OF
divorces that had been granted in
this county in the past twenty
years. A careful investigation OF
the record revealed that about
forty divorces had been secured in
the Iropton circuit court in that
time. As the number of licenses
issued in that time runs into the
thousands, marriage here can not
be deemed a failure.
A man with two heads on his
shoulders was exhibited on Main
street in Maiden Monday night.
Both heads were fully developed
and were rather handsome in
features. The man is not an ordi-
nary museum freak as might be
supposed, but is a young man who
lives in Maiden and moves in po'
lite society, the other head on his
shoulder was that of his sweet
heart, and possibly would no
have been seen in that deforme(
position had it not been the blow
ing of the window curtain out O.

For some time there has been
general belief that fish were being
dynamited, but very little evidenc,
could be obtained that the belle
was in reality a fact, until a few
days ago, when two citizens 0
near Lesterville caught two of tn
suspected ~dynamiters red-handed
Their names are known to tn
officers of the law, and with tn
evidence that is against them it i
safe to say that they are SUI
against it" a good and plenty, a
the smallest fine is $500, which, i
not paid, must be served out il
jail at ST per day -Centreuille Out
