In the circuit court at Poplar
Bluff last week George Rhodes
was fined $500 for dynamiting fish.
The fine is large, but is not
enough. A man who will use ex-
plosives and slaughter fish by the
Wholesale should not only be fined
but given a term in the county Jail
in addition to the ine.-De Soto
Press.
The remains of Engineer Hart
and Fireman Brown, who were
killed in the wreck near Poplar

Rev. Father Adrian of Arcadia
tells of an incident in connection
with his visit to ST. Louis during
Centennial week. The reverend
| gentleman reached the city short
ly after dark, and, just as he
was leaving the station, he saw an
individual--presumably from the
rural district-light his lantern,
and start down town in search of
a lodging place.
The Iron county people who at
tended the Pennington Fair last
week all report a good time not
withstanding the very inclement
weather. VIM. HI. Whitworth
captured the red ribbon in the
best saddle and gelding class, and
Chas. j. Newman's horse got
second premium in the three min
ute class. Smollinger, the Iron
Mountain man, carried off most of
the blue ribbons.
John R. Golf, manager of the
Lee hub mill, at this place, re-
signed his position two weeks
since with the intention of going
to his family and farm at Glover.
His resignation was not accepted,
and we understand Mr.. Golf will
move his family back to Center-
vile where they will remain per-
manently. The people Of Cen
terville will gladly welcome them
back home.-Centeruille Outlook.
