We have a lemon given us by
the Misses Russell that is the finest
specimen of that fruit we ever saw.
1t looks more like a huge orange
than a lemon. 1t measures IL 1-2
inches in circumference and
weighs II or. Misses Russell have
two trees, and on the two trees are
yet fourteen lemons, each of them
equal in size to the one presented
to us. The trees are about four or
five years old and about two feet
in height, and this is the second
year they have borne fruit.-BeIIe-

The Republicans of Iron county
are always talking of ''ring rul g."
They never make a direct charge;
only insinuate and intimate. Let
us tell you of Republican "ring
rule" Recently it was discover
ed that some one in the sub-treas-
ury in st. Louis had stolen S61, 800.
The sub-treasurer in st. Louis is,
of course, liable on his bond for
the shortage, but the Republican
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Shaw, recommends to Congress
that Mr.. Atkins, the sub-treasurer,
be relieved, and the government
bear the loss. All good Republic
cans working (?) together. What
do you think of that for a "ring?"
reader.
A deer came off Shepherd Noun
tain and ran down Main street,
past the REGISTER office, shortly
before noon Thursday of last
week. 1t was a doe and probably
had been driven from the woods
by the dogs. The poor thing had
evidently travelled a long distance,
and went by at a hating gait. A
hundred men, more or less, grab
bed their guns and started in pur-
suit, but returned empty handed.
The following Sunday a many
pronged buck went racing through
the streets and made good his es-
cape. Friday afternoon a wild
turkey alighted in DR.. Gays yard.
Some of the boys took a shot at
the fowl but it also escaped un-
scathed. Were the deer and tur-
key taking Christmas, too?
A collision between two freight
trains-an extra going south and
the third section No. S4-occurred
one-half mile north of Tip Top.
at eight o'clock Sunday evening.
Both engines were badly damaged.
and eight cars loaded with lumber
and cotton ere smashed to pieces.
An engineer was slightly hurt.
Three tramps were seriously in
I,jured, one of them, it is feared.
fatally. They were brought tc
Arcadia and placed in the station
house. Traffic was delayed until
ten o'clock Monday, when the
track was cleared. The st. Louis
mail trains running south were
sent over the Belmont branch from
Bismarck, and our mails were held
at that town until evening, when
they we're brought down by No. 1.
The new postage stamps put or
sale at the 5000 presidential post
offices of the issue of 1907 bear or
their face the name of the State
and the city in which the post
office is situate. 1t is thought by
the post-office officials that it will
do away with post office robberies
and make it easier to trace crimi-
nails. The post-office robbery in
Chicago several years ago is a
good example of the case. The
amount of stolen stamps was
nearly $780, 600, and these mostly
in small denominations. Another
reason for the change is to enable
the department to determine the
amount of business done by the
different post-ofices and prevent
padding through stamps sold a.

business in some adjoining city.
