POLICE CouRr.-Yesterdays session
of the Police Court was we'll attended.
Six names were on the docket. Five OF
them were plain DRINKS. 1t would
seem as il the dust blowing in the streets
during the past three days had so filled
mems throats that it was necessary to
"take a leetle suthin' to wash it out
Law the dust. But it laid the men.
Several old and respectable families
were represented There were two
Smiths present-one Of EN- John
Then there was a Brown who wasn't q
John, and whose soul didn't 60 march
ing on.

costs for it.
Charles Brown, mere hoy, was roys-
tering, royalty, riotously drunk on ia
cob street, Thursday night. about ii
o'clock. He was fined 81 and costs.

Judge refusing to discriminate in favor
of Smith as against Brown.
Another of the Smith family, which
his name is William, had been on the
war path. He was found lying IN the

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. -The meeting
of the Board Of Supervisors called for
tomorrow is a very important one. A
motion will be made to submit for q
vote of the people proposition to sub
scribe 100000 to the Pittsburgh
Wheeling e. Kentucky railroad, Our
views on the necessity Of submitting
this question and for its adoption by
the people are we'll known. Wheeling
has lost good deal by illadvised in
vestments in railroads. but our people
have learned that it was not the invest
ments, but the needless and careless man
ner in which they were made that render
ed them worthless.

ruE IxrosrAsor AND SCIENCE OF AD-

The IMPORTANCE AND SCIENCE OF AD-
vERrIsfSG.-Properly regarded, the ad-
vertising columns Of newspaper are
among the most important, for no man
really becomes acquainted even with
the news OF the day until he has thor
oughly perused the advertisements.
They are the pulse Of commerce and
universal activity. They contain not
only rare specimens Of human idionsy-
rasies, but afford a general view Of
life in every possible phase. They aid
the arts and sciences; they minister to
love- they speak of change; sometimes
they excite a smile, sometimes a tear.
To the sick man they promise health ;
to the poor man they offer wealth; the
pleasure seeker is posted in amuse-
ments; the book buyer learns the title
and price OF the last new work; the
house-hunter reads OF desirable and
eligible tenement for "a family without
children" the traveller Of the best
means Of conveyance; the unemployed
of employment; in fine, every magma,
bic want is suppositiously supplied by
the advertising department Of daily
newspaper.
The art of advertising, if not one OF
the fine arts, is certainly one Of the most
useful. In fact it has become almost
necessary to buyer and seller. There
are those, however, who have endeavor,
ed to make it in reality fine srt. Peck,
wood, some fifty years ago, led the way
in England of liberal and systematic
advertising by impressing his razor
strop indelibly on the minds Of every
bearded member of the kingdom. We
have some notable instances Of business
success in this country by means Of ad,
vertising, and in fact nine out of every
ten of our successful business men will
inform you that they owe their pros
perity to liberal advertising.
The season is at hand when our mer
chants and traders are receiving fresh
stocks of goods for the spring trade
The competition in trade is quite lively
and he only succeeds who constantly
by advertising, keeps before the public
the fact tina. he has such goods as the
people require. The man or firm that
does not advertise cannot expect to sue
coed in business. This is more especi
ally the case in the oil region than in
old settled towns and communities. We
have some merchants and traders in
Wheeling who are at present doing ar
immense business. They will inform
YOU that this trade has been built up by
liberal advertising. The complaint O
hard times comes only from those
who do not think it worth while to ad
vertise. Their neighbors who do adver
tise are in business up to their eyes.

SUICIDE OF A WHEELlNGITE.-J.F For
syth Baker, a young man we'll known
in this city, committed suicide by
drowning himself, at Meridian, Missis-
sippi, a few days since. He left let
ter written in an incoherent style, stating
that be had seen enough of the world
and its troubles. Forsyth had his fail
ings, as all have, but was a young man
of generous impulses and capable OF
winning warm friends.

The reasons why DooLEY's YEAST
POWDER is preferred to any other Bak-
ing Powder in market, are owing to its
perfect purity, quantity, quality and
economy. The ingredients are strictly
free from deleterious substances, and
hence the fun strength of each are ob,
tanned, and the results are uniform every
time it is used. This can not be the
case in those OF ordinary manufacture,
and for proof of our assertion we sim
ply ask those who have never used
DooLEY's YEAST POWDER to give it a
trial. Your Grocer keeps it, DooLEY

By NATURE THIEF.-Onc day last
week, says the Moundsville National, a
convict having served out his sentence
in the Penitentiary, was set free from
its walls. He fingered around the
prison until the evening Of that day,
when he stole the hair from the tail OF
a colt belonging to the Superintendent
by cutting it off with knife, to satisfy
his prediction for making watch
chains, rings, &c. .

THE CHEAPEST IN THE ClTY.-While
our lady readers are out shopping dur
ing these days of cheap prices, they
will find it to their interest to call at
No. l52 Main street, next door to Friend
& Sons furniture house, and examine
the large and we'll selected stock OF
beautiful goods NJ. Emsheimer has just
brought from New York. He has wash
poplins of great beauty and all colors,
that he can and will sell twenty per
cent. lower than any other house in
Wheeling; silks that for style and dura-
bility are unsurpassed; shawls lovely as
the shoulders of the beauties they are
designed to grace, the handsomest and
cheapest in the city; lace collars and
handkerchiefs, balmoral and boulevard
skirts: white goods in abundance
and cheap. His line Of alpacas, from
twenty cents a yard up, are not to be
matched for color, durability and cheap
ness by any house in the CITY. His
stock of cassimeres for mems and boys
wear is beyond all question the finest
and completest to be found anywhere.
Mr.. Emsheimer does not publish list
Of prices for others to copy, but he says
to the ladies and gentlemen of Wheel

this stock and learn the prices, and you
will learn that his stock is the best and

and furbelows. Favor and popularity
is about equally divided.
