Elsman of Pilot Knob were
subpoenaed to st. Louis Tuesday
of this week as witnesses in a suit
against the American Central Fire
Insurance Company, originating
from the destruction of the
Schmittner building in Pilot Knob
by fire some two years and more
ago.
REGISTER readers will be sur
prised to learn, by reference to an
article taken from last Sundays
Globe Democrat and printed in this
paper elsewhere that "Arcadia is
in sight of Iron Mountain" and
"that the Arcadia Valley extends
through Iron, Wayne and Dent
counties" The Globe Democrat
writer has drawn on his imagina-
tion-and it must be a vivid inn
agination, too.
Attorney D. L. Rivers, who has
been seriously i'll for the past
month, is now safely and surely
convalescing. He was confined to
his bed with la grippe for about
four weeks, which eliminated
about three weeks ago in a severe
and dangerous case of pneumonia,
the crisis of which has nowpassed,
and Mr.. Rivers may be expected
in a few days to be seen in his ac-
customed haunts-as good as new.

The following is taken from the
Flat River correspondence of the
Pennington News: ssMiss May
Bradley, accompanied by her

old child of their cousin, Mrs.

At the courthouse Tuesday aft
ernoon Judge Farmhouse perform
ed the marriage ceremony for
Charles 10th and Rosalie Medde,
Hungarians, who live in Pilot
Knob. Before he would proceed
with the ceremony the bridegroom
compelled the prospective bride to
give him a deed conveying a half
interest in several town lots
in Pilot Knob and a number of

The employees Of the Doe Run
Lead Company have this week
petitioned the company for a raise
in wages. The men argue that
under the present scale of wages
it is impossible to properly feed
and clothe their families, owing to
the almost prohibitory prices that
are now being asked for all staple
articles. Whether the lead COM
panies are now in position to grant
a raise or not is a question that
they alone can answer, but that
many families, even when regu-
larly employed, have great diff
Guilty in keeping the wolf from the
door is a well-known fact to ALL

The smallpox scare has sub
sided. In fact there never was
but one case in Piedmont. This
week the report was started that a
public school pupil had taken
smallpox, but a physician ex-
amined the suspect and found the
report to be a Fabrication. 1t is
singular that people should desire
to start such reports, especially if
they have the interests of the
school at heart. Children are
perhaps safer in the new school
house than at home, for the build
ing is so ventilated that there is an
entire change of air every hour.
Smallpox has small chance in a
building thus ventilated. Keep
up your courage and do not start
reports nor listen to them.-Pied-
mont Banner.
Fritz Schek and William Sloan
were trying to trade r%evolvers at
their boarding house in Doe Run
during the noon hour on last
Tuesday. Fritz was showing his
revolver to his companion, who is
about go years old, and not know
ing it was loaded, snapped it.
But, as is too often the case, it was
loaded. The ball entered the old
mans head at the inner corner of
the right eye brow, and glancing
around the skull bone, passed out
at the outer corner of the same
eye brow, fortunately ~inflicting
only a slight flesh wound. The
affair was purely accidental, but it
shows that it doesn't pay to fool
with a shooting iron even if sit
isn't loaded" Young Schek is
about 10 years old.-Farmington
