Clean Up-Clean Up.

Last week the Council ordered
the pond back of Morrison's Hotel
to be filed, nuisance that should
have been abated before this. The
spring and summer will doubtless
be very unhealthy one, and we
would say to all, clean up. There is
where safety lies. There is an old
Chinese proverb which says, eff you
would keep the city clean, let each
one sweep before his own door"
We say, not only there, but in the
back yards and alleys where most
frequently the germs of disease are
propagated. Have the fences and
outhouses well white-washed, and
scatter lime or copperas water
where there is the least offensive
odor. A little care of this kind will
often save a large doctors bill, be-
sides the awful misery of a sick bed.
The cellars of our town are sadly
neglected. Pools of water are left
in them all summer, and the de-
cayed vegetables of last winter
throw off gases that are very inju-
rious to health. Clean up these eel
lars, give them plenty of fresh air,
get the rotten apples and potatoes
out of them, and use the whitewash
brush and lime freely.

Since his return news came of UNI
favorable developments, but later

are encouraging. His Sister, Mrs.

STILL UNSOLVED.
No Clue Yet to the Fate or Where
abOuts of MIR. j. p. Hawks.

Last week we gave the facts OF
the disappearance at Grafton of Mr..
J. P. Hawks, of our city. 1t was
then thought that he had been
traced East beyond Cumberland, but
we are advised that that clue proved
unreliable, and now there is posi-
lively nothing known of his move
ments since the evening of Febru-
airy 9th, when he was last seen at
or near the Commercial House in
Grafton.
We are advised that his business
affairs on being looked into, show no
such condition as would warrant a
mans running away from them, SO
that his disappearance is wholly
unexplainable so far as we can learn
from his immediate friends.
Mr.. w. n. Chancellor went to
Baltimore last week to see if he
could find any clue from returned
coupons from thousand mile tick
ct Mr.. Hawks was known to have,
but found nothing Mr.. Thomas
Hawks came in from Grafton day
or two ago, where he had been still
looking for his missing brother,a
having notices posted Offering $500
reward for the finding Of his body,if
dead.
In. such distressing doubts and
anxieties, the friends have public
sympathy, and especially do all feel
most deeply for the agonies of the
distressed mother.

HAVE PITY.-Last Sunday we
saw Captain Jim Mehen leading a
little girl home, who was in rags,
without shoes or hat. The childs
mother is not compelled to care for
her two little children and they
should be taken from her and put
where they can receive proper at
tention. Jim says he often finds
them on the street, in the lower part
of town, between 8 and II o'clock
at night, barefooted, ard some one
should see that these children are
at least decently cared for.

they can make all summer. This
looks like business and we are glad
to see it. Our moneyed men are

and are putting their money into
factories and new enterprises that
will bring people to our city. There
is not good house in town for rent
(where reasonable price is Asked,

The Teachers Meeting ut Belpre.


We Gull the following from the
Marietta Registers report of the re-
cent teachers meeting held in Bel
pre-, which was well attended by
our city'teachers:
"Mr. Strauss, of Parkersburg, on
the subject of history, gave empha-
sis to the following points:
No other study demands a more
broad or thorough preparation on
the part OF the teacher.
Pupils should be trained to u Sc
works of reference.
Group the facts of any speech
about the most prominent event or
person.
Call for the expression of opin-
ion; awaken desire to go on read
ing history.
Miss Lizzie Anderson read an ex-
cellent paper showing how the
study of geography may be made
interesting if one will take the
trouble to collect from books of his
tory and travel sketches which give
light and life to the dead facts.
Supt. Purinton's paper on Zone
Cause of Failure" was misnamed,
for he most successfully showed that
in addition to the ordinary English
branches we must teach to every
school habits of personal neatness,
the care of our own bodies, polite
ness, and the love of right and the
hatred for wrong.
The Institute then adjourned un-
til 2 p. M, and the good people Of
Belpre threw open their doors to
the teachers and made them feel So
much at home that many were tar
dy in the afternoon.
Mr.. Ames advocated system of
grading in the country schools, and
the subject was discussed by Mr..
Glazier, Mr. Rood, Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. O'Neal. Mr., Reyes moved that
a committee be appointed to con
slider the suggestions of Mr.. Ames,
and report at the nextannual meet
ing.
The President appointed on this
committee G. e. Reyes, F.P. Ames,
r. c. Ryan, c. X. Wells and Mrs. r.
M. Devol.
Mrs. Armstrong read paper on
Temperance instruction in Schools.
Intemperance is often the result of
ignorance; the boy does not know
how drunkards are made and he
should be taught the evil effects of
alcohol. Scientific instruction on
the evil effects of alcohol should be
given either by the use of special
textbooks or by means of oral les
sons.
The paper was warmly applaud
ed and many pronounced it the
most important topic presented.
The subject was discussed by Mr.
Wells and the Rev. Mr.. MITCHELL
The meeting was well attended
and full of interest and profit.

THE U. B. SUPPER.-We are glad
to note that the entertainment Civ
en- by the ladies of the U. B. Church,
last Wednesday evening, was So
cial and financial success, and IN
all respects a most pleasant affair.
One hundred and tifty-nine tick
cts were taken up at the supper ia
bic, and nearly 500 in cash taken
in. Much praise is due and being
bestowed on the ladies for their
tact, taste and energy in planning
and pushing forward the happy en-
terprise to it's successful issue.

ANOTHER FOR SATURDAY AL
MOST A TRAGEDY.-We might say
that only fortunate streak Of good
luck saved us the necessity of re-
cording tragedy in this item.
Barney Meeks, whose misfortune it
is to be frequently full Of bad whis-
ky, was staggering up town in the
afternoon when a lot Of boys laugh
ing at him, he drew a revolver and
fired directly into the crowd. For
tunately none of the boys were hit.
Capt. Mehen, who was at the time
on the hunt of Meeks, soon had him
lodged in Jail. He was evidently
so drunk as to be hardly accounta-
BILE for the shooting. For drunken
ness and carrying concealed weap-
ons the Recorder imposed the usual
penalties. Now, can't we get the
lawless parties that make the poor
victim drunk?

many of the farmers in that melon
Arcadia will greatly enlarge on
their usual crops.

WHAT We LIcENsE.,,- A most
shameful sight was witnessed on
our streets last Saturday. A color
ed boy about dozen years of
age was picked up hatless and al
most garmentless in most mis-
erably drunken condition. After
being kept in jail till sober, he said
he got the liquor from Mr.. Dolan's
boy, and he didn't know where he
got it.
Some of our readers will doubtless
say, "but IRE don't license this sort
o thing" We reply that We do l.
cense these shameful scenes on our
streets when we license the saloons
that furnish the whisky that pro
duccs them.

is quite pleasant sight to watch

erly, skating is a very pleasant and

that both the old and young can
enjoy. 1t @as really amusing to see
