The Willing Workers of the Presby-terian Church met Wednesday after-noon at the pleasant and hospitablehome of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Rus6ellIn Russellville. The hostess had mostmagnificently prepared for the occa-sion, and after the business of the oc-

casion had been disposed of, the gueetasat down to a fruit dinner that wastempting and delicious in the extreme.The tables were most beautifully arranged, and the feast most thoroughlyenjoyed. The ladies unanimously declared the meeting one of the pleasant--

est in the history of their organization.Maurice Smith and his Bisters Mrs.

On Mondav eveninsr of last weekVTina T .nl ii Gillam entertained the A.V. Cornet Band on the Hughes prem-icn- a.

Thfl frounds were beautifullylighted and decorated with Chineselanterns. Ice-crea- m ana cafce wereaarvori hv the fair hostess and ladvfriends to the band boys, who, it Isunnecessary to state, dia ample justicetn tho things 6et before them.Though the saying of it may be deemedsuperfluous, the members oi tne organ-l?ttn- n

fiillp annreciate the token ofgood-wi- ll expressed that evening. Thatgood-wi- ll is not singular, nowever. itis truly said that friendliness begetsfriendliness, as love does love, andthAM ia no ladv In the Valley whostands higher in the esteem and affection of the band boys than aoes missGillam. May every happiness be hers!

The Lawn Social given by the Ladies'Guild St. Paul's Episcopal Church,Ironton, at the residence of Mrs. A.Roehrv on the 9th was a success inevery sense of the word. The lawnwas a veritable lalry Lana ana tnebooths and tables beautifully decorat-ed. One of the features of the eveningwas the presence and music of the A.V. Band, who looked magnlficlent Intheir fine, new uniforms, and the musicrendered was commented on by manyfrom abroad. They will soon be In aposition to compete with the best ofthem. The thanks of the ladies areextended to the band and all otherswho assisted them, and to the friendswhose presence added bo much to thebeauty of the scene and whose dollarshelped to swell the sum total. Re-ceipts were something over $70.

The Gutld.The Register, with faith in the de-

sire of the average man to do righttoward his neighbor, believes that thecow-be- ll nuisance is the result of lackof judgment rather than of intent towantonly distress the innocent and un-

offending. But no matter what the in-

tent, or lack of intent, of the personwho attaches his cow to a bell, theconsequences are the same:, alwaysdisturbed rest, sometimes profanity,and occasionally murderous thoughts.For producing wakefulness a cow-be- ll

exceeds everything except an earacheor a bilious colic A boil isn't a mark-er to it, while the passing train is, bycomparison, a soothing lullaby. Thelatter comes and goes, but the cowwith the clanging bell knows no orderof going. And then the decepUvenessof the brute! She awakes us in thestilly hours with a sudden cling-clang-clin- g!

the perfection of grating dissonance, and aeain silence reigns, xneeyes again close, the senses are stilled,and sweet takes

alack! a second clanging peal drivesreturning sleep away. And so on, until returning day or some wrathfulwatch-do- g induces her to move onvan a man Dell nis cow and be aChristian? The Register will giveprize to the first debating society thatestablishes the negative.

George Sax ton once made his homein Ironton and was well known here.The following is taken from the lastissue of the Centreville Reformer:'George Saxton. the pioneer drummer

of Southeast Missouri died very sud-denly at Centreville on yesterday, thebth. Uncle George, as he was usuallycalled, had traveled all over Europeand the United States and at one timenan been considered a very wealthymen, reputed to have been worth f 100,000,00. Soon after the civil war be-tween the North and South, UncleGeorge and his brother John Saxton,wno now lives at buipnur springs inJefferson County, . engaged in thewholesale hardware and gun businessin St. Louis. It is said that he gotbroke up, and went on the road as adrummer and for many years mademoney, but owing to old age and thefailure of his health he had traveledbut little for the last few years, andhe and his family were in destitutecircumstances at the time of his death.The County Court visited the familyafter the death and learning of thedestitution made suitable provisionsfor the relief of the family and thedecent interment of the body. It isthought by his wife that Uncle Georgehad a policy of insurance on his lifefor the benefit of his family. UncleGeorge was a high toned chivalrous,proud gentleman; was in want, but tooproud to beg. or even receive dona-tions. He leaves a wife and four smallchildren, who have our sympathy.Peace to his ashes."

Chas. S. Killalee, who for manyyears made his home at Pilot Knob,and is well known to many people ofthis community, committed suicide atBrown Springs near Sedalia Wednesday. The following is taken fromThursday's Republic: "The hallucination, haying its origin in ill health,that his sweetheart, Miss Julia Connelly, a pretty St. Louis girl, had forsaken him caused the suicide, near Se-

dalia, Mo., yesterday, of Charles S.Killalee of St. Louis. He swallowedthe contents of a package of strychnine,and then, in an attempt to escape thosewho were attracted by his groans ofpain, tnrew nimsell into flat ureee.He was dragged from the water andtaken to Sedalia, where he died shortly after beingcarried into the office ofa physician. Killalee was for sometime a clerk in the St. Louis Post Of-

fice. A year or more ago, an accountof ill health, he secured a position asconductor on the Grand avenue divisionof the St. Louis Transit Company. Heremained in the employe of the com-pany when the strike was declared onMay 8, but on the first day of the strike,in attempting to take a car out, wasshot at near the sheds, the bulletpiercing his coat sleeve. The nextday he was dragged from his car andso severely beaten that he had to betaken to St. John's Hospital where he re-

mained under treatment for eight daysAfter his recovery from these woundshe went to Louisville in the hope ofsecuring employment. Soon after hereacted that city he became very ill,and for some time lay at the point ofdeath in his boarding-house- , No. 728West Jefferson street, where a seriousoperation had been performed. Hisphysician, at his request, telegraphedto Miss Connelly the news of his con-dition, and she went to see him, re-

maining in Louisville for three days.Her visit was the turning-poi- nt iu hisillness, and whereas at the time of herarrival he was not expected to live tenhours, when 6he left he was on theroad to recovery. He continued toimprove, and after a time returned toSt. Louis, where he remained until lastFriday night. Then, being unsuccess-ful in obtaining employment here, hewent to Sedalia, his sweetheart biddinghim good-b-y at Union Station." Fail-ing to obtain work, he lost heart, tookto drink, and suicide resulted.

WhenI got to where my mother was introuble with those men I had my gunin my right hand, and with my lefthand I motioned and said, "men, youget away from here; let this fencealone; there is the road, go it and letthis fence alone."

At this juncture James Asher put hisright hand to his right hip pocket andsaid, "Tom Hall, if you can shootquicker than I can, G d d nyou, be at it."

The Doe Run Tragedy.

Following is as accurate an accountof the unfortunate shooting that tookplace between the Dooleys and Har-rises at Doe Run last Saturday as wehave been able to obtain after carefulInvestigation, and from the testimonygiven before the Coroner's jury, andfrom statements of eye witnesses madeafter the excitement had somewhatsubsided. The entire matter is difficult of solution, and many conflictingstories are afloat. The results of theaffair are, however, very evident. WmDooley, tne iatner. is dead; ma son,John, seriously wounded; Wes Harris,dead; Jim and Frank Harris seriouslywounded. Ora Litteral, a bystander,was shot through the foot. Leslie,Will, and Joe Dooley are in jail awaiting preliminary hearing. Will Harrisis still at large.

The trouble is of long standing, andhas been augmented from time to timeduring the past three years by quarrels,and on one occasion by a fist fight be-

tween Wes Harris and two of theDooley boys.

From the testimony available theonly conclusion that can be drawn 'asto the characters of the two families isthat the Harrises are inclined to betroublesome, one of them haying beenaccused of several serious breaches ofthe law. The Dooleys bear good reputations, and while being fearless andwell able to take care of themselves,have never been known to be the aggressors In any trouble.

Some three years ago old manDooley and one of his sons were witnesses against Wes Harris, accused ofpetit larcency. From that time badblood has existed between the twofamilies. This ill feeling was increasedabout a year ago by some trouble be-

tween Leslie Dooley and Wes Harrisover the former's wife, who finally leftDooley and went to live with Harris.

A short time ago the Harrises andtwo of the Dooleys met at a picnic atFlat River. A fight ensued in whichWes Harris is reported to have considerably worsted the Dooleys and two oftheir friends; he having a pair ofbrass knucks, and the other side beingentirely unarmed.

From all that can be learned theHarris boys sent word to the Dooleys afew days before the Doe Run picnic,warning them to stay away from DoeRun on that day. The Dooleys re-turned word that they were going tothe picnic, and would be prepared todefend themselves.

James Litteral, father ot the girlwho was shot, is reported to have toldthat he was standing near a lemonadestand talking to old man Dooley whenWes Harris came up and commencedcursing Dooley. The latter steppedcloser to Harris and engaged in con-versation with him. Thereupon Har-ris shoved him back and at the sametime drew his revolver and fired. Theshot took effect in the left hip. Dooleysank hack, another ball hitting him inthe arm, and died almost instantly.From the first shot the four Harrisesand the four Dooley boys are reportedto have opened immediately. JohnDooley drew his revolver and commenced shooting at Wes Harris, Jimand Frank Harris joined in with re-volvers, and Will, Joe, and LeslieDooley also opened fire; the latter firstemptying his revolver, then securinghis Winchester rifle and continuing thefight. John Dooley was shot throughthe body and fell. Wes Harris backedto a tree, behind which he took posi-tion, reloaded and continued to shootfirst at one then the other of the Doo--leys. Finally stepping from behindhis tree be shot at Leslie Dooley; againhe stepped out to shoot, when Dooleyraised his Winchester and fired, theball striking Harris just over the lefteye, killing him instantly. He hadbeen hit four or five times. ,

The fight now took on a new phaseas Will Harris dashed up on his horse,shooting as he came. The Dooleyboys secured Wes Harris' revolver andmade the firing so hot that the Harrisesfell back. About this time Jim andFrank Harris both fell badly wounded,and Will Harris fled down a gully andthrough toe house of Mr. Templeton,pursued by two of the Dooley boys.He escaped without injury and denieshaving been engaged in the shooting;but the testimony of 'Squire Ledbetterconfirms the words of the Dooleys, whosay he was in the fight. Mr. Ledbet-ter did sot know the Harris boys by

Arthur Nail wastrying to bet $50 on the game, butthere was no money in sight; he prob-ably had it in his sock. We were sorry to hear the boys had an accident onthe way home, and also beard the Hogan boys stole a nut off one of thewheels. This was proven different asMr. Lee Usher found the nut nearwhere the accident happened andbrought it to Hogan and gave it to Engineer Gosney. We wish the boys tounderstand that we were very well satisfied with beatinsr them, and hadnothing to do with the accident. Wewill see you later. Maud.

The West End Tragedy.

Red Point, Mo., July 28, 1900.Editor Register I see in an issue of

your paper wnat purports to be tnehistory of the James Asher and ThomasHall killing, which they claim, or thereporter claimed, to be one of themost cold-blood- ed murders ever en-

acted. This is, of course, to Influencepublic sentiment against me, withoutthe faintest semblance of truth.

Now, 6ir, will you please allow spacein your paper for the other side, andthe facts in the case, as 1 have no de-sire to misstate the case because I donot fear the law of the land In this case,and I am willing for twelve citizens ofIron county to try my case upon thefacts and circumstances, for I believethe people of Iron county believe injustice to all people and upon this be-

lief I am willing to rest my case.This Asher family, and more espec-

ially James Asher, have been insultingand running over me and abusing my-

self, my mother and brothers for sixyears. I have kept out of his way; Ihave shunned him because I did notwant any trouble with him; he wouldthrow down my mother's fence, gothrough the fields, instead of goingthe road other people traveled. Thishe did, as I was told, to get a chanceto kill me or whip me. Then, at dif-ferent times, he would come along theroad by the house singing the most vul-gar, blackguard songs; then, at othertimes he would get upon my mother'sfence and sing those vulgar songs be-

fore my wife and mother, and thenboast through the neighborhood "whata coward Tom Hall was."

Now, sir, on the Sunday morningJames Asher was killed, I bad gone tomy mother's below where I lived todrive her cows home. She had startedto my house. I did not see her as shewent through the field and I wentaround the field with the cattle. Mygun was at her house. I got my gunto take it home. On my way home Iheard my mother talking very loud. Ilistened and soon learned she was hav-ing a quarrel with somebody. At thesame time I heard others cursing andchopping. My mother thinking I wasat my house not knowing -- that .1 haddriven the cattle to her house, shecalled me to come there quick. I wascoming up the road around the field
