distributed about town. A new
departure was the appearance on
the street of ten or a dozen fair
maids, clad in winding sheets.
The ghost-like figures maintained
a most mysterious air,and whence
they came, or whittier they de-
parted, no one knows.
Let every Democrat in
Iron County do his full du-
ty next Tuesday. And
that duty is: vote the
ticket, STRAIGHT!
Bud Chiffon, the negro who stole
the money from the Syrian, M.
Nichols, a couple of months ago,
was found guilty by a jury in the
circuit court lait week and his
punishment fixed at two years in
the penitentiary. The court then
admitted the defendant to parole.
We can't say that we believe in
the practice of the court setting
aside the finding of a jury.
Circuit court adjourned last Sat-
urday after being in session just
six days. We believe this is the
shortest term of court we've had
since the present incumbent be-
came judge of the circuit. A
glance at the docket, which is pub
lished this week, with the DISPOSE
ton of the cases, will show why
the term was short. Practically
every case of Importance was con
tinued.
Governor Hadley sadly disap-
pointed those in this city who had
expected to hear him speak last
Friday evening, as well as the
people of Ste. Genevieve, who had
made great preparation for his
visit and hired a special train On
the Southern and take him over
there upon the arrival of No. 4.
The train was some late and he
wired from Arcadia that he had
stopped off at that place.-Bismarck

The Suffragette Social given in
Workmen's Hall, Graniteuille,
Monday evening, by the members
of Wendt Camp, R. N. A., was a
most complete success-socially,
financially and every other way.

suffragettes and most magnificent

attendance and was most gener-

Mrs. John Hampton on Thurs

two small children and departed
for parts unknown in company
with Mike Hughes of G~raniteville.

About even o'clock last Sun
day evening it was my fortune to
see one of the most brilliant
meteors that, within the memory
of men, ever was known to this
portion of the footstool. AS l was
passing the courthouse square on
main street, the darkness suddenly
dispelled by a glare Of steely blue
light that, for a few moments,
turned the night into day. Cast
ing my look skyward, | saw, not
far from the zenith, a luminous
body, followed by a long trail o.
flakes Of fire, coursing its way
toward the southwest. When APP.
parently about twenty degrees
. above the horizon it disappeared
| heard no defamation but the exit
of the wonder was marked by a
r scattering of particles of light
very similar to the sparks that at
tend the explosion Of a sky-rocke
high in air. 1t was a display Of
!. natures fireworks long to be re-
membered by those whose goot
fortune it was to be sky-gazing al
that opportune moment, and my
regrets are rendered to him ant
