In the account Of the entertain
ment of the Baptist Ladies' Aid
Society at Mrs. Carty's, last week,
the name of Mrs. Glover as one of
the preceding entertainers of the
Society was blunderingly omitted.
The writer of the item duly apollo
gizes.
Mayor James E. Pinkley of Lew
istown sends US some literature
telling of the wonders of the great
Judith Basin country. He also en-
closes a post card picture of the
Elkhorn stable of which he is the
owner. 1t is a very prosperous
looking establishment.
People are wondering what the
new county court will do on the
saloon question. Whether a two
thirds petition will be necessary to
secure license, or only a majority.
The matter will probably be de-
termined at the meeting of the
court in February.
An effort is being made to open
a saloon in Bismarck but as the
county court of st. Francois coun-
ty requires a two-thirds petition,
it is doubtful whether license can
be secured. In case of failure to
get license a WHOLESALE" house
will probably be opened.

Judge R. J. Hill writes us from
Artesia, New Mexico, that he has
been reading the REGISTER over
thirty years, and that they could
hardly "keep house" without it.
He says that they have passed a
very pleasant winter in their new
home, and the weather there now
is balmy and like spring.
Thos. H. Holman, we'll known
in Iron county, was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Surveyor in st.
Francois county last fall, but was
defeated at the polls by his Repub-
lican opponent, j. o. Seelegman.
The latter died about the first of
the year, before qualifying as Sur
veyor, and Mr.. Holman will hold
over until the next general cleo
ton.
Mr. David Myers yesterday re-
turned from a visit to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Thaddeus Wells,at War
rem, Ark. Our old friend says
that Arkansas is a great state, but
Missouri looks more like "home."
We are glad to learn that he left
Mrs. Wells in good health. Mr..
Myers will remain here during the
winter, and in the spring take a
trip to Pennsylvania and Wash
ington, d. c., to visit relatives
whom he has not seen for many
years.
At a meeting Of the Ironton
school board Monday evening the
building committee was authoriz-
ed to confer with an architect as
to the practicability of building a
two-room two-story addition on
the east end of the public school
house. The architect will be asked
to prepare plans and the PROPOSE
ton will be submitted to the vot-
ers at the election. Something
will have to be done to relieve the
present congestion in the school,
and the members of the board be-
lieve that the plan here outlined is
the most feasible and economical.
We hear of one patriot who
" sacrificed himself on the altar of
his country in the electionin this
county last fell who has about ar
rived at the conclusion that he was
limflammed"-o the
"gangsters." He was induced, SO
the story goes, to accepta place on
the reformefs' ticket, being assur-
ep that all his expenses would be
paid. He accepted the nomina-
ton, made the campaign, was de-
