pected to get the new book out as
soon after the first of the year as
possible.
A diamond drill man who has
been working for the Federal Com
pany for q long time told us this
week that several drills that had
been at work the past two or three
months had Just been called in and
that the report was out that all
prospect work for that company
would be discontinued the first of
the coming month. If this report
should prove true it will throw
about seventy men out of employ
ment.-Lead Belt NelOs.
Mrs. Sarah Langdon, relict of
the late Judge E. j, Langdon, di-
ed at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Schade, in Mexico, Mo-, last
Friday, of paralysis, at the age of
IS years. Several years ago Mrs.
Langdon fell and broke her hip,
and never recovered from the &C.
cident. The remains we're taken
to Dunklin county for interment.
Judge and Mrs. Langdon had a
summer home in the valley for
many years and were we'll known
to our people. He has been dead
sixteen years. To the sorrowing
sons and daughter we extend con-
dolence.
Bob Patton has spent the last
month with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs, Chas Patton, in this city.
Last January Bob joined the U. S.
Navy. After spending several
months at Norfolk, Virginia, he
shipped to Panama on the "Prai-
rie," a small vessel. There spent
some time on the isthmus, crossed
over to the Pacific and shipped to
San Francisco. At Panama he saw
the work being done on the big
canal; Bob says it didn't look to
him one bit like he always mag
ined a canal would look-was more
like a mine than anything else.
AT Frisco he was given his dis
charge because of some physical
disability and freed from serving
the remainder of the four years for
which he had enlisted. Bob says
you bet he was glad to get that
discharge, and now he knows and
appreciates the meaning of"home,
sweet home!"
VIM. Windels, alias VIM. Phelps,
was arrested yesterday on an in
formation filed by Prosecuting At
torney Stephens charging him with
illegal voting at Sligo. Windels,
when he applied for a marriage
license last August, made affidavit
that he was only 10 years old, and
had John Phelps appointed as his
guardian. AT the November cleo
ton at Sligo he voted under the
name of VIM. Phelps. He gave
bond in the sum of $1,000 for his
appearance before Justice Epstein
December I'd. This is the seventh
illegal voter arrested. The other
six, whose preliminary trial was
to be held before Justice Epstein
yesterday and to-day, took a
change of venue to Justice Wing
fields court, and set their trial for
December Sth. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Stephens and Sheriff Roberts
will continue to investigate the il
legal voting at Sligo and Spring
er's, and expect to get some of the
men "higher up" before they quit.
-SdIem Monitor.
That's exactly what we expect to
do in Iron county. Land on the
fellow "higher up who is rrspon-
sible for the crooked work in the
west end.
I thankfully acknowledge the
receipt from my friend, Sergeant
Reese, of a copy of the CabIe-NeaO
american, of Manila, which as it
itself asserts, is the "Leading Dai,
ly of the Philippines" 1t is a
seven-column, ten page issue, fill
ed with matter strange and inter-
esting to US home-dwellers. The
arrivals and departures of vessels
alone fill three pages, while a
goodly share of space is given to
legal advertising. There are 9TH
or advertisements galore of all
things pertaining to the health,
luxury, or comfort, of the human
race. Some of them have the true
go-ahead, Yankee brand, while
others nonplus my understanding,
despite my erudition, as per e. g.:
"For Sale.-Three fine old apara-
dores of narra and camagon, a
large round table of nara and
one-piece table, square, of nara
with camagon legs" etc. This
must prove troublesome to the
American stranger: how is he to
know whether the article he buys
is genuine ''narra'' or "camagon''
or a deceptive blend of both? AS
to the slime old aparadores,"
umph! They might, for one of
them, pass on me an ancient bill
lizard table or a jack-towel rack
with equal facility. Bro. Reese
would have to help me out--that's
all there is to it! He is acquaint-
ed with the ways over there, and
no doubt ''onto" the language
and manner of business. May he
retain his good health while in
the service, and eventually return
to the blessings Of home, kindred
and friends!
