The work of putting down the shaftat Pilot Knob is progressing quite sat--

sfactorily. The shaft is some thirtyfeet deep, and, with the aid of a steamhoister, it is expected to rush the workfrom now on. As soon as the shaft iscompleted, which will likely be in lessthan six months, and the drifting fairly started, two hundred or more menwill likely be put to work, lhe company has just closed a contract for awasher with a capacity of handlingthree hundred tons of ore a day. Thewasher will be in operation m sixtydays. Truly, it begins to look verymuch like Pilot Knob will again resumeits wonted activity.

The Spring Opening at Miss Gillam'smillinery store last week was so large-ly attended that it seems superfluousto talk of it; yet the display was soelegant and varied, the appointmentsso appropriate, and everything in suchgood taste, that the Register cannotrefrain from rushing in where angels-in-waitin- g

only are supposed to treadwith impunity and fitness, and addingits unauthenticated huzzah to the general applause. The editor knows bet-ter than to attempt to specify wherewomen's-fixin- s are concerned, butspeaking generally and collectively.he boldly avers that no fairer Easterexhibition ever greeted the feminineeye than mat set out. ai miss vjiuam slast week.

The Festival held in Workman'sHall last Tuesday evening, under theauspices of the Catholic ladies ofGraniteville, was very largely attend-ed. It was a success, socially as wellas financially. Neighbor met neigh-bor as neighbors should, each withgood-wil- l toward the other, and all ofthem endued with the desire not onlyto enjoy himself but to help make itpleasant for everybody else. Dancefollowed dance in quick though decor-ous succession until supper caused anecessary interruption for music eatsas well as inspires which gave addedzest to the saltatory exercise that after-ward quickly passed the hours to dawn.The refreshment tables did a "land-offic- e

business," and the proceeds there-from must be gratifying. The raffles

After a few livelygames 01 croKinoie, eacn guest wasgiven a small white box, daintily tiedwith blue ribbon, representing theclass colors, and containing "A Budgetof Boxes" or a box contest. Four ofthe jolly contestants came off with evenhonors so had to resort to "drawingstraws" for the final decision. MissLela O'Neal being the lucky one, waspresented with a box of dainty stationery, with "More Beyond" conspicuousinside. The guests were then invitedto the dining room where a bountifulrepast was served by the genial hostess.Charades, etc., were next in order,and heartily enjoyed by all, till themerry party dispersed, with beamingfaces, expressive of a delightful time.May they alwavs be so happy, is thesincere wish of one who was there!

The following is reproduced fromMonday's Globe-Democr- at: "A party ofattorneys and witnesses in the case ofJones vs. Jones, set for trial to day inJudge Ferriss' division of the CircuitCourt, reached the city last night frompoints ia southeast Missouri and arestoppiDg at the Laclede hotel. Thecase is a divorce suit, in which Mrs.Ilettie Jones, a resident of St. Louis,is tne piaintiir, and ri. li. Jones, aprominent business man of Kennett,Mo., is the defendant. The allegations and cross charges are understoodto be somewhat sensational in nature,and great interest is taken in the casein several Southeast Missouri townswhere the parties are well knownlhe suit was originally brought toIronton, Mo., where the plaintiff livedafter separating from her husbandOn moving to St. Louis last fall shedismissed her suit at Ironton and filedsuit in the Circuit Court here. Thissuit was dismissed by the court forwant of jurisdiction, but was filedagain two months later, after theplaintiff bad taken up a legal residencein the city, and is expected to go totrial this morning. It is understoodthat the plaintiff will allege abuse andcruelty, as well as other groundsagainst the defendant. Mr. Jones, onthe other hand, has filed an answer.in which he denies his wife's allega-tions and claims that she is not the innocent and injured party. I here issaid to he a mother-in-la- feature inthe case, which will be brought out atthe trial, and in Mr. Jones' answer itis charged that through his wife'smother's interference the troubles between them arose. It is also chargedthat Mrs. Jones showed fondness, objectionable to her husband, for herhusband's brother, a business man ofDexter, Mo. The attorneys for theplaintiff are Parker & Sager, of thiscity. Messrs. llson Cramer, of Jackson, and E. J. Bean, of Hillsboro, Moare looking after the defendant's interests, lhe hearing was concluded yesterday, and the Judge will render adecision next Monday.

We note the following in the IrontonPresbyterian for April:

The "minstrel" given March 30th by theA. V. Cornet Band was a financial successThe entertainment however was not worthyof such generous patronage. Home talentshould be well patronized especially whenfor the benefit of such excellent organizations as our cornet band. But even hometalent people should try to win the approvalof the best people. In this case many wentaway from the entertainment disappointedand some were disgusted. There is plentyof opportunity in this sort of entertainmentfor a display of genuine humor and livelysouthern melodies, but there was no excusefor allowing the variety type to be presentedWe also suggest that a bad break was madein the attempted dance after the entertainment. The public dance for money makingis no more a success even in Ironton. self- -respecting people are putting that form ofamusement on the shelf as belonging to the

back woods." We hope the boys will dobetter next time for we know they are capa-ble.

Another Daniel come to judgment!And quick to come, and severe andoverwhelming in its coming, is thejudgment! The entertainment was

not worthy of such generous patronage," and many went away "disappointed" and "disgusted. Could dam-nation be more complete? The Register, however being not unquestioning ly orthodox as to the impeccabledicta of the minister is not contentwith the sweeping charge, but call fordistinctive specification. If "the goodpeople" were all "disappointed" and"disgusted" it wants to fall in line withthem and be "disappointed" and "dis-gusted" also, for the general good. Apaper published "even in Ironton"ought to assume an occasional virtuethough it hath it not. We hear thatone of the minister's very young ladymembers, presumably following hisinsinuation to its logical and ultimateconclusion, designated the show as

smutty:" just where she picked up aterm to which very young and inno-cent girlhood ought to be innocuous isdifficult to say, and perhaps is none ofthe Register's business. But it's aharsh term to use toward an entertain-ment gotten up and participated in bypeople who affect to be ladies and gen-tlemen. The writer, though Presidentof the A. V. Cornet Band, did not havethe management of the affair, but hetook part in the rehearsals and theshow, and he saw nothing "disgusting"in its programme. Perhaps as he isnot of the "good people" as classifiedby the elect, he may not know "smut"when he sees it or hears it. Therefore,he asks for a bill of particulars, andhe promises for one that if he hassinned, in his mental feebleness andmoral stupidity, he will hereafteradopt the wiser course, and in all suchaffairs refuse to do aught, and therebybe safe from sin and "smut" on thataccount. It Is gratifying, however, toknow that "Old Missouri" is improv-ing and that her people are sloughingsome of their old-tim- e wicked crudi-ties that "even in Ironton" "thepublic dance for money doesn't pay;"that as we are getting away from thebackwoods we that is, some of usare getting to be more self-respectin-g

as to these things. It is no less grati-fying than fortunate that just as allseems at its worst, wickedest and"smuttiest," along comes a strangerwhose self-appoint- ed mission it is toset everything aright; to pull the feetof the foolish from out the mire of un-

seemliness and set them firm and dryupon Purity's white-pebbl- ed highway.Else, how appalling the possible fateof this heedless community! And,finally, the assurance that "the boysare capable of doing better" is consol- -

etas, miner.
