Mike Madigan was easily the
best Christian in the valley last
Thursday. After the terrible snow
storm was over, and navigation
almost impossible he came over
from Arcadia with a horse hitched
to a snow scraper and made walks
all over town. We vote him hearty
thanks and he is we'll entitled to
something more substantial.
In disposing of the Farmhouse
stock of merchandise / am offering
the greatest bargains in merchan-
disc ever known in the valley.
The stock embraces all lines-dry
goods, groceries, notions, shoes,
etc., etc.,-and the goods are all

Judge Louis F. Dining of Po-
tosi, who had numerous solicita-
tons to become a candidate for
circuit Judge, has declined and
will not be a candidate. Since the
first of the year Judge Dining
has entered into business arrange
ments that it would be a great
sacrifice for him to enter the con-
test for the ofice.-Potosi hide
pendent.
Mr.. P. w. Whitworth removed
to st. Louis to-day, having re-
Gently purchased a house on Ridge
Avenue in the northwestern por-
ton of the city. P. w. says, how
ever, not to consider him 'tgone for
good, "as he is liable to come back
at any time. Iron county loses a
mighty good citizen by his depart
ure and he and his estimable FAM
lily will be greatly missed.
While Mrs. DR.. Hall and Mrs.
Pat Williams of Fruirland and
two or three children we're driving
to Jackson last Friday the horse
took fright and ran away with the
buggy. The parties were thrown
out, and the two ladies hurt, Mrs.
Hall quite seriously. The children
escaped injury. Mrs. Hall. how
ever, is getting we'll over her in
jury from the fall out OF the bug

George Graham, of Graniteville,
is suffering from what the physi-
clans have diagnosed as a mild
form of smallpox. Graham re-
Gently returned to G~raniteville
from Neeleyville, in Butler county,
where it is thought he contracted
the disease. AS soon as the case
was reported Graham was quar-
antined, and it is thought there
will be no other cases. Graham
has been sick about ten days and
is getting along very well.
Fredericktown had a fire early
Sunday morning which occasioned
the death of four men. The flames
originated in what were known as
the Schultz and Reyes buildings
on the southeast corner of the
square. The alarm was given
about two o'clock. A crowd rushed
to the fire. Eight men we're in a
one -story structure adjacent to the
burning buildings, carrying out
goods, when a wall fell in on
them. 1t was thought at first that
all of the men were killed, but
when the debris was removed it
was ascertained that four OF them
were not seriously hurt.
Constable Marshall and Ben
Blanton drove to the extreme
west end of the county in that
binding snow storm last Wednes-
day to apprehend Coot. B. Miner
and Chas. Fortner, charged with
stealing $3.50 worth of hogs from
John Canaday. They located
Fortner but Miner had gone into
Reynolds county. The officers re-
turned to Ironton with their pris-
oner Friday evening, pretty well
worn out with their long and ex-
ceedingly cold trip. Fortner vas
arraigned before Squire Rasche
Saturday and his preliminary
hearing set for March Oath. Miner
is Fortner's father-in-law.
Miss Roena Shaner, of jackson,
State Lecturer of the w. G. T. u,
and Mrs. Ford, of Fredericktown,
State Secretary, spent one night of
last week in an Ironton hotel and
in consequence thereof are asking
100000 from the Iron Mountain
railroad. The ladies, it seems,
boarded. the main line train at
Bismarck when they thought they
were getting on the Belmont train.
They did not discover their mis-
take until the train was pretty
we'll on its way to Ironton. Con-
ductor Webb then suggested they
spend the night in Ironton and re-
turn to Bismarck next morning and
proceed on thier journey on the
Belmont. This they did, but they
want big money for their delay.
We can't understand the good
ladies'. Surely, it should be their
delight to spend a night in SO dry
a town as Ironton.
We had our biggest snow storm
in years last week. Sleet COM
menced falling before day We'd
nesday and continued until the
afternoon when it was followed by
snow, which came down without
cessation all through the evening
and night and until after midday
Thursday. 1t WAS a fearful storm.
