county offices must file a declara-
ton of their intention with the
county clerk not later than June
I'd, otherwise their names will not
be printed on the primary election
ticket. This applies to constables
and justices of the peace.
Among the callers at the REG
IsTER office last week was Mr.
Hartford Collins of Sabula-al-
ways a genial and entertaining
visitor. Mr.. G. is a Lifetime resi-
dent of the county and a successful
lumberman. He deserves the sue
cess that has come to him through
honest effort and square dealings.
Bruce Parker, a young man
from the west end of the county,
was arrested at Mayes' livery
stable Sunday afternoon on the
charge of carrying concealed
weapons. He was taken before
Squire Rasche next morning, who
held him for circuit court. In de-
fault of bond Parker is now in
jail.
The Murdock- Crumb Co. dis
tribution of lands will take place
at the screen factory building to-
orrow(Thursday.) Some folk are
anticipating a lively time. But
the sheriff with a large number of
deputies and four Pinkerton de-
tectives will be on the scene to try
and keep everything quiet and in
order.
The passenger department of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad has is
sued a beautiful and artistic
pamphlet, entitled "The Arcadia
Country There are some hand
some and attractive views of from
ton and other parts of the valley.
1t is really a work of art and sets
forth the beauties and advantages
of the valley most exquisitely.
Our very good friend, Mr. j. M.
Murdoch, of Chicago, of the MUIR
dock Crumb Land Co., was in
Ironton several days last week,
and just before leaving to town
came to the Office and presented us
with a quart of rare, old bourbon
whiskey. Mr.. Murdoch is a most
excellent gentleman and a con-
~noisseur. May everything come
his way.
Joseph G. Forshee, OF Belleview,
last week filed his declaration as a
candidate for the Republican nom
Iination for Collector with the
County Clerk. Joseph, it is said,
had been slated to run for Circuit
Clerk, but his heart probably
failed him when he thought of
making the race against Jesse
Hawkins. And then again men
change their minds. For Joseph
said only a few days ago that he
was out of politics.

The REGISTER this week prints
the announcement of DR.. James
H. Martin of Pilot Knob as a cam
didate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Representative Of Iron
county. DR.. Martin is a young
man Of sterling worth and ability
and stands very high in the esti-
nation Of the people who have
known him all his life. His in
tellectual qualifications are such
that the REGISTER has no hesi-
fancy in saying that should he be
elected to the Office he seeks we
believe he would make a mos
c~reditable representative.

itor to the land congress, while fol-
lowing the Barracks band dowr
