Sheriff Marshall left Monday for
Guthrie, Oklahoma, for one Mum
son Henderson, a school teacher
in the west end of the county,
charged with seduction under the
promise of marriage. A warrant
was issued for Henderson several
months ago, but he was not To-
Gated until a few days ago. He
agrees to return to Missouri with
out a requisition.
The editor is in receipt of a let
ter from Mr.. Emil Roehry, who is
Missouri and Arkansas as
a member of the Missouri Uni
versity Glee Club. There are
twenty of them, travelling in a
private car, and Emil says they
are having a time. The letter was
written at Fort Smith, Ark, and
Emil says there were violets in
bloom and green leaves down there.
Week before last the north
bound mail train in the morning
pulled away from the station here
before the mail carrier had time
to load the REGISTER SACKS OF the
mail car. AS a result the paper
was twenty-four hours late in
reaching the subscribers that
week. Again we repeat that the
mail service at present accorded
this town is worse than abomin-
able. Is there no remedy?

the announcement of Oscar
E. MCGEE as a candidate for Coun-
ty Commissioner OF Public Schools.
Prof. MCGEE is a progressive and
successful educator, and is well
known in school circles throughout
the county. For several years
past he has been principal of the
Pilot Knob school, where he has
given rare satisfaction. His friends
say that he has excellent qualiti-
cations for the Office of Commits

Sheriff Fits and Deputy George
Goggin took Bill Spaugh, tho con-
victed murderer, to Salon, Dent
county, where he was lodged in
jail. The people of Dent county
have an excellent Jail and the ex-
pense of taking him to that place
for safe keeping is not nearly so
much as the trip to st. Louis costs
And again they are assured that it
will not require the services of a
lawyer to compel the jailer to turn
him over to the sheriff when he
goes after him, as was the case
recently in st. Louis. Spaugh is
the only inmate in the Salem jail.
