Henry Basler, of Carbondale,
Ills, a brother of Mrs. Nagel, has
purchased the butcher shop in
south Ironton, formerly conducted
by Fred Twomey and he and MIR.
Nagel opened the place for BUSH
less Tuesday morning. Nh. Nagel
was in the butcher business in
Ironton for twenty years or more
and has long been known all
through this section as one of the
very best butchers that was ever
in this part of the state. Mr.. Bas-,
Ter has also had considerable ex-
p%erience. They expect to run a
thoroughly up-to-date place with
a full line of meats of all kinds
always on hand, and respectfully
solicit a share of the patronage.
Will Lax, colored was arrested
Sunday on a charge of disturbing
the peace of a wake at the home of
Henry Speers, also colored, in
Wilsonville the night before. 1t
seems that Lax's wife, from whom
he had been partedIfor some time,
was among the party who was
sitting up with the corpse of Mrs.
Blanks, colored. Lax went to the
place and started a trough house."
Next morning Lax got wind of the
fact that the officers had a warrant
for his arrest and they had to
chase him to the uppermost PIN
nacle of Arcadia Heights before
they finally nabbed him. Monday
he went before Squire Rasche who
gave him a jail sentence of ninety
days.
To the favor of my young friend,
|. G. Whitworth, l I'm again in
debted. While discussing, a few
weeks ago, the question of boards
and BARRIERS, the old razor, hazard
GUS to the unskilled touch, and
the new wherein lies safety from
cash and scoriation, he said, "In
due season / will make you a
present of the Safety" OF curse
told him | was agreeable
wouldn't you? Well, I'm now in
possession of a "K. X" and find
it all the donor claims. You'd
like one? Gilbert has 'em, and the
price of one is by no means in
dicative of it's merit. Since
knowing it's virtue, double it's cost
would not wrest me from mine,
were it the only "K. X" to be
had.
Mr.. j. P. Ward, an old Iron
Mountain conductor, has written
County Clerk Reyburn that some
New York and Chicago capitalists
contemplate building al electric
road from st. Louis to limo.
Their first idea was to 60 through
the lead belt to Pennington. Now
they n considering a route from
De Soto, through Richwoods to
Potosi, Caledonia, Belleview, Iron
ton and then to Pennington. This
latter route, it is said, would only
be about twelve miles longer than
through the lead belt. and it would
tap a country that has no railroad
facilities at all. 1t would certainly
be the greatest thing that ever
happened to this country. MI.
Ward will probably ask that a call
be made soon for a mass meeting
of Iron county folk to consider the
proposition.
There will be a rally of the
forces making ready for the Land
and immigration Congress, held
in the Academy of Music Thurs
day evening. The Executive Com
mittee and all the auxiliary COM
mittees of the men, the Women's
Development Association, the
Young Women's Association, the
Men and Boys Booster Club, will
all be present and take part in the
meeting. There will be some out
lines of the work and plans of the
various committees and organiza-
tions, an address by Rev. Father
Adrian, and the address by Hon.
P. P. Lewis, President of the State
Dairy Commission. Mr.. Lewis is
a farmer and business man and a
most excellent speaker. The new
Orchestra has been invited to
play, the Baptist Boys Band will
favor the meeting with some
numbers and the ladies' quartette
will sing. The meeting will open
at 1880 o'clock and is free tc
everybody. In fact everybody is
invited to be present and help
boost the land congress-.
The shooting of Low by Marshal
Fitzpatrick of Bismarck was
mentioned, without particulars, by
the REGISTER last week. The fol-
lowing circumstantial account Of
the occurrence is taken from the
Bismarck correspondence to the
Pennington Times of the 18th inst.
"An unfortunate shooting affair
occurred here Saturday evening,
the 9th inst. The new Marshal,
John Fitzpatrick, who is quite a
small man, attempted to arrest
James Low, a large, husky young
athletic fellow, on an old warrant
on which Low had evaded other
officers, Low resisted the Marshal,
graphing with him and attempt
