A. R. GOFF, Washington Daily Register, Yesterday morning was a cool one the mercury indlcatingten degrees be PARLOR MEAT MARKET, VVm. KC1IAAK, justly deserve is the wish of your pioneer friend, formerly II. M.

Allen, now. II. M. Walsek. P.

S. Permit me to introduce to you the Hon. G. Walser, lawyer, editor and author, proprietor and founder of this city, as my husband. JI.

M. W. Liberal, Missouri, Jannary 8, 1885. Our friend speaks of the copy of the Observer she encloses with her letter. In order that the reader of today may know the meaning of the same, we would say that it was tho first paper ever published in Washington- county.

It was founded by the editor of the Register in March 1809, the columns being just eleven and a quarter inches long, and there were four pages, each page being just seven and a fourth inches wide. The paper was printed here when there was but few people in the county, but it did not fail to speak well of the county and the prospective town; the people sent it everywhere to friends and soon those friends commenced coming to what we then believed a paradise, and -the result was that our county filled up and the the town grew. We now occasionally meet a man who tells us that reading the old low zero. There are more delinquent personal tax payers in Republic county this year than the last. Scandia Journal.

All members of AO. U. and K. nf P. sira ren nested to attend the funeral of Charles B.

at Greenleaf this afternoon at two o'clock. lie was a member of both orders. Miss Ida Houlette will give a musical rehearsal at the school house in Linn, on Saturday evening, January 17, ,1885, Miss Houlette has been teaching a class there for some time, which is said to have become very proficient, and this rehearsal of her work will be one of interest to the people of that vicinity, and all should attend it. Yesterday afternoon Rudolph Etter's team took a notion to have a run. It was tied near Clay Hull's residence on south Commercial street, broke loose, went over his fence tearing it down, then back into the street, keeping the middle of the same north to the school house, where they turned and went over to the depot.

There they came in contact with three other teams, broke two of the wagons and smashed the one they were hitched to, to pieces. From here they went over into the west part of the city where they were caught. We are told that this team is apt to run if given an opportunity and if such is the case, should be carefully watched. Fortuneately no one was hurt. "The World's Wonders," seen by the Great Tropical and Polar Explorers, is the title of a new and valuable book just published by the Historical Publishing Its object is to "place it within the reach of all, in one elegant, finely illustrated volume, all the achievements, discoveries, travels, and adventures of the great explorers; a history of marvelous things on the earth; of strange countries and races of people; of curious animals, birds and reptiles; and the worlds great natural phenomena and curiosities." It possesses additional interests in an official history of the late Greely Expedition in search of the North Pole, and is no doubt a book of standard merit and great interest.

The publishers claim that it is a complete encyclopedia of exploration, discovery and adventure in all parts of the world, and as such it must possess very great interest for all classes of readers. See advertisement elsewhere. Monday evening about five o'clock, at Greenleaf, a coal car ran off the shute. Jerry Collins, a brakeman, was on the shute in front of the car assisting in coaling the engine, when he saw the car commence moving and all he could do was to jump off the shute to the ground. He struck the ground in such a manner as to bound out of the way of the car, but struck his head against a switch and was badly hurt.

His head has two" or three pretty severe gashes in it and his breast is badly bruised, but our informant says he will probably get well. The car was smashed up, and had not Mr. Collins bounded out of the way when he struck the ground he would have been buried beneath several tons of coal and the car and crushed to death. About forty minutes after the above accident, Charles B. Huckett, a brakeman on the same train, while coupling cars caught bis foot in the guard rail, and bad both legs cut off by the cruel wheels.

He lived from 5:40 Monday evening until 3 Tuesday morning, when he died. He leaves a wife and several little children to mourn his sudden and unexpected death. Men who worked with Mr. Iluckett tell us that he was a noble, kind hearted man, universally loved and respected by all. He will be buried at two o'clock today, at Greenleaf under the auspices of the A.

0. U. W. and K. of he having been a member of both orders.

The members of these orders in this city are earnestly requested to assist at the ceremonies. The following letter was received a few days since and we take the liberty to give it publicity feeling that it will be of interest to. a great many old settlers hereabouts: i 1 Friend kelley: The time of niy subscription to the Register has expired with the year. As I have departed from my former identity, and entered upon a new existence, I must sever myself from old ties and feel called upon to part with your paper. In saying farewell permit me to wish you and yours a "Happy New Year," and as a souvenier of early days, when I wa3 among those of pioneer life in Washington, I present you with a time worn, yet valued copy of the Observer, of which we were justly proud, and which did much in building up your city of tpday.

Short Stories, Choice SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED AT One Dollar a Year in Address all letters to THE Mi Observer of pioneer days induced him to come and see for himself, and seeing he believed and stayed. Those were good and happy days when we were much younger and more buoyant than now; then the aches and pains contracted on the southern battle fields had not taken hold of our old bones and everything looked bright and gay. From 18G( to 1885 many changes have taken place. The county then contained less than 1,000 souls; today it contains up wards of then there were barely 40 people living in the the town; now there upwards of then town and country buildings were mostly log cabins and they are stately frame, brick and stone buildings; then we had no railroads or stage lines, now we have railroads and all other conven iences found in an old settled country; then we had no fruits of any kind except that growing wild along the streams, now we have tame fruits in abundance; then we had to buy nearly everything that we eat or fed to the stock, now we sell it by the train load to others; then we heard but little complaint as to hard times and the people were all contented and happy and so ciable.

The old pioneers have scatter ed greatly, a few remain; some have gone to try life on the other shore, some in Texas, some in the far western territories, some have gone back to the homes of their youth and we shall nev er see them together again as we used to in the early, days, but we wish them, one and all, success, prosperity and happiness wherever they may be, and to none do we ask for a greater share of peace and happiness than to our friend of pioneer days whose letter has called forth these thoughts.
