Joseph, Leavenworth and Atchi-
son, Kansas. He says that the
man who says prohibition pro-
hibits in Kansas-so far as the
cities of Leavenworth and Atchi-
son are concerned-does not know
what he is talking about. In both
towns he says that the saloons
are just as wide open as they are
in st. Louis to-day.
Game Warden Williams of Jeffer-
son county was here last week.
That afternoon he drove to the
Silver Mines to inspect the dam
there about which fishermen have
been complaining so much of for
several years past. After view
ing the dam Mr.. Williams said
that fish chutes would have to be
built there or the dam would be
blown up-and that at once. The
dam is owned by A. H. Handlan
of st. Louis.
Our genial and old-time friend,
Pat. O'Brien, of Los Angeles,
California, sends US a postal card
stating that he has been touring
California and Old Mexico in an
automobile. He says he had a
grand time and expects to visit
old friends in Missouri next year.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
bunch of Mexican cigars. They
are excellent, and we smoke to the
health, wealth and happiness OF
our friend in the Golden State.
Judge L. F. Dining, of Potosi,
was in Centerville two or three
days of last week on professional
business. Judge Dining has been
a member of the Reynolds county
bar longer than any lawyer who
now attends our court. He has
served on the bench in this circuit
and it is more than likely that he
will be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Judge at the
coming primary. There is no
better Judge of law in the district
than he.-Centerville Outlook.
Messrs. j. w. Reed, George
Gay, DR.. R. w. Gay, Fred Kindell,
j. A. Dinger, of Ironton, and Bob
Purkiss and John Patrick, OF Ell
lington, and Alex McKinzie, of
Piedmont, and Ed White, of FL
lington, who are employed in the
hub mill plant here, are stopping
in town until arrangements can be
made for their accommodation at
West Eminence. These gentle-
men are all genial and sociable
and the Eminence people are
glad to have them make their
stay in town.-Eminenee Current

j. N. Bishop, who has a posi-
ton as train auditor on the Mo-
bile & Ohio railroad, is spending
a couple of weeks with home tolk
after an absence of five months.
Nobe has a run between Montgom-
cry and Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
covering about 250 miles a day.
He says he likes the south and
his work very much. In coming
down from st. Louis on the even
ing train Saturday some one stole
a basket filled with clothes be-
longing to him and he has never
been able to trace hide MOI hair of
their whereabouts. Nobe says
nothing like that ever happens to
a man down in his country where
everybody votes the Democratic
ticket.
The announcement was made
Monday that Miss Ada Rhea Mar
shall, of Ironton, and G. B. Stone,
of Downs, Kansas, were united in
marriage at Edwardsville, Ills,
August 14th. The young people
decided to keep their wedding a
secret for a month. Mr.. Stone
went to Kansas and Mrs. Stone
came back to her home in IRON
ton. Monday she left for Downs,
where her husband has employ
ment in the railroad shops. Mr..
Stones former home was in De
Soto and he is known to a great
many people in this part of the
state. His bride is the daughter
of MI. and Mrs. G.. w. Marshall,
who has made her home in from
ton many years. The REGISTER
joins many friends in wishing her
a life Of much happiness.
Mr.. William Stubblefield, the
progressive Oran citizen, and who
had petitions circulated all up and
down. the Iron Mountain Railroad
on the branch, asking for another
passenger train on this road, was
in this city this week and told the
DIN. that he had just returned
from a visit to the officials of the
Iron Mountain in regard to this
matter and that they had assured
him that the train would be put
on inside of thirty days, that even
now they we're at work on the
matter but had not decided wheth-
or the new train will run at night
or in the day time, but that they
would surely give the people on
the branch another train. Let us
hope that none of the officials who
are interested in this matter will
die within the next thirty days
and knock US out of the new
train. - Fredericktown Democrat
