Roehry and reminded him of the fact that he had passed another milestone on the road to the Great Beyond. Mu- sic and refreshments followed until the stroke of the clock warned all to home and rest. May the host and his better-hal- f live to see many a recurrence of the day we celebrated. The Willing Workers of the Presby- terian Church met Wednesday after- noon at the pleasant and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Rus6ell In Russellville. The hostess had most magnificently prepared for the occa- sion, and after the business of the oc- casion had been disposed of, the gueeta sat down to a fruit dinner that was tempting and delicious in the extreme. The tables were most beautifully ar ranged, and the feast most thoroughly enjoyed. The ladies unanimously de clared the meeting one of the pleasant- - est in the history of their organization. Maurice Smith and his Bisters Mrs. Emma Cooley and Mrs. Ludwig, form er residents of Iron Mountain, togeth- er with Mr. Ludwig, called at the Register office Tuesday morning. They now reside in St. Louis, and came down to the Valley to renew ac quaintance with old-tim- e friends and scenes. The meeting Tuesday recalled the times when the now deserted Iron Mountain was a busy little city, and when we were all considerably younger in years if not in spirit. The party left for Bismarck that day, where they will remain a short time before return ing home.

On Mondav eveninsr of last week VTina T .nl ii Gillam entertained the A. V. Cornet Band on the Hughes prem-icn- a. Thfl f rounds were beautifully lighted and decorated with Chinese lanterns. Ice-crea- m ana cafce were aarvori hv the fair hostess and ladv friends to the band boys, who, it Is unnecessary to state, dia ample justice tn tho things 6et before them. Though the saying of it may be deemed superfluous, the members oi tne organ-l?ttn- n fiillp annreciate the token of good-wi- ll expressed that evening. That good-wi- ll is not singular, nowever. it is truly said that friendliness begets friendliness, as love does love, and thAM ia no ladv In the Valley who stands higher in the esteem and affec tion of the band boys than aoes miss Gillam. 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 in every sense of the word. The lawn was a veritable lalry Lana ana tne booths and tables beautifully decorat- ed. One of the features of the evening was the presence and music of the A. V. Band, who looked magnlficlent In their fine, new uniforms, and the music rendered was commented on by many from abroad. They will soon be In a position to compete with the best of them. The thanks of the ladies are extended to the band and all others who assisted them, and to the friends whose presence added bo much to the beauty of the scene and whose dollars helped 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 right toward his neighbor, believes that the cow-be- ll nuisance is the result of lack of judgment rather than of intent to wantonly distress the innocent and un- offending. But no matter what the in- tent, or lack of intent, of the person who attaches his cow to a bell, the consequences are the same:, always disturbed rest, sometimes profanity, and occasionally murderous thoughts. For producing wakefulness a cow-be- ll exceeds everything except an earache or a bilious colic A boil isn't a mark- er to it, while the passing train is, by comparison, a soothing lullaby. The latter comes and goes, but the cow with the clanging bell knows no order of going. And then the decepUveness of the brute! She awakes us in the stilly hours with a sudden cling-clang-clin- g! the perfection of grating disso nance, and aeain silence reigns, xne eyes again close, the senses are stilled, and sweet takes alack! a second clanging peal drives returning sleep away. And so on, un til returning day or some wrathful watch-do- g induces her to move on van a man Dell nis cow and be a Christian? The Register will give prize to the first debating society that establishes the negative. George Sax ton once made his home in Ironton and was well known here. The following is taken from the last issue of the Centreville Reformer: 'George Saxton. the pioneer drummer of Southeast Missouri died very sud- denly at Centreville on yesterday, the bth. Uncle George, as he was usually called, had traveled all over Europe and the United States and at one time nan been considered a very wealthy men, reputed to have been worth f 100, 000,00. Soon after the civil war be- tween the North and South, Uncle George and his brother John Saxton, wno now lives at buipnur springs in Jefferson County, . engaged in the wholesale hardware and gun business in St. Louis. It is said that he got broke up, and went on the road as a drummer and for many years made money, but owing to old age and the failure of his health he had traveled but little for the last few years, and he and his family were in destitute circumstances at the time of his death. The County Court visited the family after the death and learning of the destitution made suitable provisions for the relief of the family and the decent interment of the body. It is thought by his wife that Uncle George had a policy of insurance on his life for the benefit of his family. Uncle George was a high toned chivalrous, proud gentleman; was in want, but too proud to beg. or even receive dona- tions. He leaves a wife and four small children, who have our sympathy. Peace to his ashes." Chas. S. Killalee, who for many years made his home at Pilot Knob, and is well known to many people of this community, committed suicide at Brown Springs near Sedalia Wednes day. The following is taken from Thursday's Republic: "The hallucina tion, haying its origin in ill health, that his sweetheart, Miss Julia Con nelly, a pretty St. Louis girl, had for saken him caused the suicide, near Se- dalia, Mo., yesterday, of Charles S. Killalee of St. Louis. He swallowed the contents of a package of strychnine, and then, in an attempt to escape those who were attracted by his groans of pain, tnrew nimsell into flat ureee. He was dragged from the water and taken to Sedalia, where he died short ly after beingcarried into the office of a physician. Killalee was for some time a clerk in the St. Louis Post Of- fice. A year or more ago, an account of ill health, he secured a position as conductor on the Grand avenue division of the St. Louis Transit Company. He remained in the employe of the com- pany when the strike was declared on May 8, but on the first day of the strike, in attempting to take a car out, was shot at near the sheds, the bullet piercing his coat sleeve. The next day he was dragged from his car and so severely beaten that he had to be taken to St. John's Hospital where he re- mained under treatment for eight days After his recovery from these wounds he went to Louisville in the hope of securing employment. Soon after he reacted that city he became very ill, and for some time lay at the point of death in his boarding-house- , No. 728 West Jefferson street, where a serious operation had been performed. His physician, at his request, telegraphed to 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 his illness, and whereas at the time of her arrival he was not expected to live ten hours, when 6he left he was on the road to recovery. He continued to improve, and after a time returned to St. Louis, where he remained until last Friday night. Then, being unsuccess- ful in obtaining employment here, he went to Sedalia, his sweetheart bidding him good-b- y at Union Station." Fail- ing to obtain work, he lost heart, took to drink, and suicide resulted. You assume no risk when you buy Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Then I saw James Asher, Jake Clemonts and one Sum mers, chopping and pulling down brush fence which I had the day be fore built; having several other hands to help build this fence to keep the cows and cattle in and had cut out good passable road around the brush fence which is now to be seen. When I got to where my mother was in trouble with those men I had my gun in my right hand, and with my left hand I motioned and said, "men, you get away from here; let this fence alone; there is the road, go it and let this fence alone." At this juncture James Asher put his right hand to his right hip pocket and said, "Tom Hall, if you can shoot quicker than I can, G d d n you, be at it." I then saw that busi ness was at band and that it was a matter of who could shoot first, and when the reporter of that article said I was stooDiner behind that brush he told a falsehood as broad as the uni verse.

Following is as accurate an account of the unfortunate shooting that took place between the Dooleys and Har- rises at Doe Run last Saturday as we have been able to obtain after careful Investigation, and from the testimony given before the Coroner's jury, and from statements of eye witnesses made after the excitement had somewhat subsided. The entire matter is diffi cult of solution, and many conflicting stories are afloat. The results of the affair are, however, very evident. Wm Dooley, tne iatner. is dead; ma son, John, seriously wounded; Wes Harris, dead; Jim and Frank Harris seriously wounded. Ora Litteral, a bystander, was shot through the foot. Leslie, Will, and Joe Dooley are in jail await ing preliminary hearing. Will Harris is still at large. The trouble is of long standing, and has been augmented from time to time during the past three years by quarrels, and on one occasion by a fist fight be- tween Wes Harris and two of the Dooley boys. From the testimony available the only conclusion that can be drawn 'as to the characters of the two families is that the Harrises are inclined to be troublesome, one of them haying been accused of several serious breaches of the law. The Dooleys bear good repu tations, and while being fearless and well able to take care of themselves, have never been known to be the ag gressors In any trouble. Some three years ago old man Dooley and one of his sons were wit nesses against Wes Harris, accused of petit larcency. From that time bad blood has existed between the two families. This ill feeling was increased about a year ago by some trouble be- tween Leslie Dooley and Wes Harris over the former's wife, who finally left Dooley and went to live with Harris. A short time ago the Harrises and two of the Dooleys met at a picnic at Flat River. A fight ensued in which Wes Harris is reported to have consid erably worsted the Dooleys and two of their friends; he having a pair of brass knucks, and the other side being entirely unarmed. From all that can be learned the Harris boys sent word to the Dooleys a few days before the Doe Run picnic, warning them to stay away from Doe Run on that day. The Dooleys re- turned word that they were going to the picnic, and would be prepared to defend themselves. James Litteral, father ot the girl who was shot, is reported to have told that he was standing near a lemonade stand talking to old man Dooley when Wes Harris came up and commenced cursing Dooley. The latter stepped closer to Harris and engaged in con- versation with him. Thereupon Har- ris shoved him back and at the same time drew his revolver and fired. The shot took effect in the left hip. Dooley sank hack, another ball hitting him in the arm, and died almost instantly. From the first shot the four Harrises and the four Dooley boys are reported to have opened immediately. John Dooley drew his revolver and com menced shooting at Wes Harris, Jim and Frank Harris joined in with re- volvers, and Will, Joe, and Leslie Dooley also opened fire; the latter first emptying his revolver, then securing his Winchester rifle and continuing the fight. John Dooley was shot through the body and fell. Wes Harris backed to a tree, behind which he took posi- tion, reloaded and continued to shoot first at one then the other of the Doo-- leys. Finally stepping from behind his tree be shot at Leslie Dooley; again he stepped out to shoot, when Dooley raised his Winchester and fired, the ball striking Harris just over the left eye, killing him instantly. He had been hit four or five times. , The fight now took on a new phase as Will Harris dashed up on his horse, shooting as he came. The Dooley boys secured Wes Harris' revolver and made the firing so hot that the Harrises fell back. About this time Jim and Frank Harris both fell badly wounded, and Will Harris fled down a gully and through toe house of Mr. Templeton, pursued by two of the Dooley boys. He escaped without injury and denies having been engaged in the shooting; but the testimony of 'Squire Ledbetter confirms the words of the Dooleys, who say he was in the fight.

A match game of ball was played Sunday at Hogan befween Hogan and Ironton teams. The Ironton boys were very much on the roast to start with, but as the game progressed their cries grew faint, and when the game ended with a score of 38 to 15 in favor of Hogan there was not a sound to be heard from them. Arthur Nail was trying to bet $50 on the game, but there was no money in sight; he prob- ably had it in his sock. We were sor ry to hear the boys had an accident on the way home, and also beard the Ho gan boys stole a nut off one of the wheels. This was proven different as Mr. Lee Usher found the nut near where the accident happened and brought it to Hogan and gave it to En gineer Gosney. We wish the boys to understand that we were very well sat isfied with beatinsr them, and had nothing to do with the accident. We will see you later. Maud.

Editor Register I see in an issue of your paper wnat purports to be tne history of the James Asher and Thomas Hall killing, which they claim, or the reporter claimed, to be one of the most cold-blood- ed murders ever en- acted. This is, of course, to Influence public sentiment against me, without the faintest semblance of truth. Now, 6ir, will you please allow space in your paper for the other side, and the facts in the case, as 1 have no de- sire to misstate the case because I do not fear the law of the land In this case, and I am willing for twelve citizens of Iron county to try my case upon the facts and circumstances, for I believe the people of Iron county believe in justice 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 insulting and running over me and abusing my- self, my mother and brothers for six years. I have kept out of his way; I have shunned him because I did not want any trouble with him; he would throw down my mother's fence, go through the fields, instead of going the road other people traveled. This he did, as I was told, to get a chance to kill me or whip me. Then, at dif- ferent times, he would come along the road by the house singing the most vul- gar, blackguard songs; then, at other times he would get upon my mother's fence and sing those vulgar songs be- fore my wife and mother, and then boast through the neighborhood "what a coward Tom Hall was." Now, sir, on the Sunday morning James Asher was killed, I bad gone to my mother's below where I lived to drive her cows home. She had started to my house. I did not see her as she went through the field and I went around the field with the cattle. My gun was at her house. I got my gun to take it home. On my way home I heard my mother talking very loud. I listened and soon learned she was hav- ing a quarrel with somebody. At the same time I heard others cursing and chopping. My mother thinking I was at my house not knowing -- that .1 had driven the cattle to her house, she called me to come there quick. I was coming up the road around the field Class mailer. E. D.

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.

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.

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.

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

A match game of ball was playedSunday at Hogan befween Hogan andIronton teams. The Ironton boys werevery much on the roast to start with,but as the game progressed their criesgrew faint, and when the game endedwith a score of 38 to 15 in favor ofHogan there was not a sound to beheard from them. 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
