At the meeting OF the City Council

fcations for the street Improvement,
prepared by Mr.. A. V. Polak, were
accepted, and bids for doing the work

REGISTER. The street work is to be
done with chat from the dumps at
Pilot Knob. 1t is proposed to rebuild
Main Street from Knob Greek to
Stout's Creek and Russell Street, in
South Ironton, from Knob Street west
to the Goulding Hill. If there are any
funds left after this work is done then
other streets will be considered. The
stone work on the street is to be
twenty feet wide, the center of the
street to be ten inches higher than the
sides and the cutters to be IS inches
lower than the crown. The council
made an order putting in another
electric light on Main Street between
DIR. Marshall's homE and the bridge
across Stout's Creek, and another in
front of the Pruitt residence on
Shepherd Street. Mayor Rasche
appointed w. W. Reese as Council

be held October 22d when the bids for
street building will be considered.
A special freight train carrying
seventeen cars of fine horses pulled
into Poplar Bluff at 9:25 this morning
on the Iron Mountain from Fort
Worth, Texas. There were $40 horses
in the cars, and the train was on its
way to Toronto, Canada. The horses
were bought in Texas by a repre-
sentative of the English government
and will be shipped to England from
Toronto Just as soon as they re ach
that point, which will probably be
some time Thursday. The train left at
9:4O A. M. over the Cat for limo, and
it is expected that the special will
arrive in st. Louis some time tonight.
A little Canadian, communicative as
the Sphinx of Egypt, was in charge OF
the horses. He knew that they were
horses, and that he was on the way
to Toronto with them, and that he
had left Fort Worth, Texas, in charge
of them at six O'Clock Sunday even
ing. If the Canadian knew any more
than that he did not say so, although
it was learned from other sources
that they were going to be shipped to
Liverpool, and that a great many
more were going that way, having
been purchased in Texas. This train
was the first of several that will pass
through Poplar Bluff with horses
which will in all likelihood be used in
the European war.-Poplar Bluff Re-

f. port states that it is shown by a neces

attention of the receiver and copies

OF notes placed by the company with
certain banks, that the direct liability
of the company will be greatly in
creased if the transactions mentioned
in the letters are regular and valid
The receiver for lack of further in

what the situation referred to in the
4 letters is. The report also states
