By authority of an act of the last
General Assembly, declaring express
companies or corporations common
carriers, and providing for their gov
ernment and control, and empowering
the Board of Railroad and Ware house
Commissioners to r ecru late and fix
oharges made by said companies or
corporations, Chairman Hennessey, of
the board, on the 19th, sent out to the
six or seven companies doing business
in this State notice to file at once class
ification and rates tariffs. The law re
quires that the schedules must be filed
between the 21st of June and the 21st
of August, but the board hopes the
companies will file as soon as possible
after receiving notice, so that the
schedules may havo full and careful
consideration. A penalty of 1200 per
day is provided by law for each com
pany that is delinquent after the 21st
of August. This is the law that met
with such bitter opposition from the
express companies last winter.
The St. Louis Chronicle says the fol
lowing in reference to Mr. Socrates
Newman. He died at his country
residence near this city on July 24th:
"When Socrates Newman dies and gets
a perfunctory obituary of twenty lines
or so in the morning papers, it shows
the vanity of human ambition. Once
he was the greatest man in the city of
St. Louis. He was a good man too, as
every one said who knew him well,
but to the public at large, he was sim
ply great, and known only through his
greatness. When there was a ques
tion of who should be a member of the
Municipal Assembly, or the Speaker of
either of its branches, or Mayor of the
town, Soc' Newman did it. When a
St. Louis delegation was being chosen
to represent the city in the State Leg
islature, it could be made to represent
the gas company if Soc Newman so or
dered. And at the time, it was always
suspected that he did so order when
ever a delegation was to be chosen.
When gas was king in St. Loais no one
else had the power that the President
of the St. Louis Gas Company had, and
Socrates Newman was the President of
the gas company. He had many
friends and some bitter enimies, but of
late years his enemies had forgotten
their enmity, and he died no greater
than an ordinary citizen. And, doubt
less, no one rejoiced more hartily than
he did himself that he had ceased to be
the greatest man in St. Louis. For he
had a touch of the philosopher in him,
and was not named Socrates for noth
ing. Could he have written his own
obituary it might have been even short
er than it is in the papers which once
gave him editorials by the yard. But
short as it was, it was long enough to
repoint the old moral that
Scepter and crown must tumble down
And in the dust be lowly laid.
With the poor, crooked scythe and
spade."
Old Times.
Ed. Bcgister I remember when I
was a little bit of boy, and had those
sick spells, and it was hot and the flies
bothered me, I used to cry for my ma:
I want my ma." I well remember
how she would take me up and hold
me tight to her breast with my head
against her shoulder, and sing and rock
me, and how it did comfort me. May
be I am not like other men but a kind
of big baby, but that's just how I've
been feeling for the last two weeks; I
just want my ma. Oh, how hot it is!
and the flies! What were the flies
made for any way? If they could all
be turned to gold, wouldn't we all be
rich? Well! well!
Last Friday I felt that a change of
scenes would do me good, so I took the
cars for Sabula, as that is a nice place
to rest. As we glided swiftly along, I

all too soon warned by the porter cry
ing, "Sa-bu-la-a-a."
As I pulled myself together and the
conductor helped me down, I stood for
awhile to see if I really was at Sabula
or not. Yes, I certainly am, for I see
those big four horse teams and two
horse teams coming from every direc
tion. Ihose big wagons loaded high
with logs: some of them with great
long piling logs and some for the mill
to be sawed into all kinds of lumber for
all kinds of uses. I saw no change; it
looked just the same as it has for years
everybody on the move. After I had
gazed to my heart's content, I walked
over to brother Giles' home, with all
of its beautiful surroundings. I felt
like calling, "home, rest." Yes, home.
rest. It is so quiet, so cosy, so rest
ful, and then you always receive such a
hearty, greeting, you feel youself at
homo. As we sit in the bis? rocker
and talk of the things past, present
and future, how swiftly the timo slips
away. After resting until we are tired.
(what a contradiction, resting until we
are tired!) we walk over to the store of
my old friend Colemans1 and then to
his mill. As wo seat ourselves, Mr.
Coleman and my brother Giles enter
tain me with the ins and outs of lum
bering. When I asked them if the
timber was exhausted, they said just
look at those logs they were sawing,
pine logs of all sizes and all lengths.
They said:
Ihirty years ago the first mill was
set up here on this same spot, and these
same logs we are now sawing were lit
tle saplings, are now good sized saw
losrs. Why, we cot an order a short
timo ago, for some derrick logs, they
wanted them sixty feet long, two feet
through at the stump and twelve inch
es at the top. We sent our men and
teams out to get them. In less than
six miles of the mill, they found trees
(pines) that were just as straight as a
candle and sixty feet before you came
to a limb. We had a jolly time getting
them hauled, n e put eight mules to
one of those big log wagons, and you
know the road is very crooked with
short turns, but that made no difference,
those mules just made everything git
that got in the way. '
Mr. Coleman said: "I go an order
one evening, saying, vve want a car
load of special lumber; must have it by
day-after-to-morrow. Can you get it
for usr' Ihe next morning wo sent
our men and teams out for the logs and
before nicrht of that day, the car of
lumber was ready and on its way.
Brother Giles said one day they got
an order; in tne morning ine trees
were groning in the woods four miles
away, and those trees were sawed, the
lumber dressed and made into a house
and occupied that night.
I tell you it almost took my breath
as l sat aud listened, and saw now
short a time it took to cut a log into
any sort of lumber. As I watched the
sawyer as he kept the log going for
ward then back, back and forth with
out a single step until the log was in
lumber, I just thought what a wonder
ful thing the human mind is. That
man seemed to see at a glance just how,
when and what to do. Oh, it s won
derful!
The next morning. Brother Giles
took mo riding in his buggy, down the
road towards Annapolis, to show me
the effects of the high water of last
year, farms, mat tne last time i was
down the dirt road had houses, fields
and fences, were swept entirely away.
Not a fence nor an inhabitant, nothing
but great gravel banks. No road, no
way to get through except to wind
around among the trees, piles of lum
ber and flood wood. Such a scene of
devastation I never saw.
While we were making our way
through the mass, I told him of the
first time I ever traveled that road,
and how lonesome I got. He said one
day Father Berryman told him that
when he was nineteen years old, the
Methodist conference appointed him
as circuit rider of the Southeast part
of Missouri, and at that time there
were but very few people in all that
part of the State. He said one day he
got on his horse; it was the first time.
When he got down to where Sabula is
now, he felt so lonesome, so perfectly
lost, buried in the woods, he just got
off his horse and laid right down in the
road and cried just like a child. He
couldn't help it, he felt so lonesome.
Have any of the readers of the Reg
ister ever been lost in the woods miles
and miles away from any human being,
and not know which way to go or how
far it was to anybody? If so, you can
form some idea of how I have felt in
some of my early hunting days.
After we had got back from our trip,
I started for home on the up train.
When I reached Arcadia, I learned the
steam thresher had just gone to my
farm to thresh out my wheat and oats.
So 1 hurried home, and found the
machine getting out my wheat, and I
just stood off and looked at it. At half
past five, every bundle of wheat had
gone through that machine. One
hundred and ninety-one bushels of
wheat in two hours and a half. How
different from the old slow way of get
ing out wheat, and how it makes one
feel there there is nothing new under
the sun. Oh, those old slow days of
long ago. As I look how much hard
work was done because we did not
know any better, and did not have the
wherewith to do it, and such a waste
of time and strength, it makes me tired
to think of it. T. P. R.

Ed. Begister Died On Tuesday
evening last, the infant child of Mr.
Chas. Rennie, of lung tronble, aged
about 6 months. The remains of the
little one were buried in the Middlo
brook cemetery the Thursday follow
ing. Also, on Saturday last, at ten min
utes past four o clock p. m., after a
lingering illness, Mrs. Geo. Scroggie
died of consumption, aged thirty years.
Deceased had been a sufferer of the
dreadful disease for two years or more,
and for several days prior to her death
could not speak above a whisper nor
swallow food or stimulants of any kind;
but with all the fortitude that is possi
ble for one of her sex to be possessed
of, she held out perhaps longer than
most people do who have thus been af
flicted. She made her peace with God
and was ready to answer the death
call. The trouble most with her, was
the leaving of four little children, two
boys and two girls aged from 1 year and
8 months up to 9 years, but being as
sured by her companion who was call
ed to her bedside, that her dear little
children would be cared for, she closed
her eyes in death, and she's now gone,
gone to that silent land. The remains
were conveyed to the M. E. Church on
Sunday at 2 p. m., where Rev. O. W.
Rose preached an eloquent and touch
ing sermon, after which the remains
were taken to Middlebrook cemetery,
followed by a large funeral cortege, to
pay the last tribute to one who now
lies in peace and rest everlasting. Mr.
Everet Cunningham, brother of the de
ceased, came up from Granite Bond to
attend the funeral. The heartfelt

sympathies of the whole community are

the loss of their departed wife and

and one 7. With a little bit of calcu

is wonderfully good for amateurs. So
