There resides in Wheeling youth who
is the proud possessor of a solitary, lone
some rooster, that cost, on original pur.
chase, so cents. Recently, some ways got
onto that youth and his bird and decided
10 have some fun. They hatcbed mp a
conspiracy and carried it into effect They
preceded as follows: One wag accosted
the youth on Market street and offered
him IS, spot cash, for his bird. The aston
ished youth, bewildered by the fattering
offer, was about TO accept it when wag No.
Q appeared on the scene and offered $40 for
the bird. The youth, amazed and con-
founded, became undecided, and, while
DOL deripg over the offers, wsg No. 3 ap-
proached, took the youth aside aud mys-
reIiously informed him not to sell that
bid as it Was the most game and valuable
dock in Wheeling. OF course that settled
he question Of sale. You cannot buy
hat bird to-day 81 any price.
All Of the ways requested permission to
s,e that wonderful bird, which was granted.
They were conducted to the neighoorhood

bid was exhibited for inspection.

Some two months since mention was
made of the arrival of q Mrs. McGumfrey,
from Wheeling she being in expectation
OF meeting her husband in this city, and
failing to find him upon arrival. A few
days later he put in an appearance, and

Weston's on West Gay street, but left there
some four weeks since, taking rooms on
East Cav. MCGumfrey was a carpenter,
but is said to have done but little work. He
bad a chum by the name OF Mark Chisel,
with whom he was in constant companion
ship, and according to Mrs. NJ. story, her
husband had performed only one weeks
labor since they moved TO their present
location, she paying his as well as her own
board
Mrs. McGumfrey says her husband and
ChiSel came to their boarding house about
five O'Clock last evening, but went out af-
ter supper McGumfrey returning about
midnight, when he went to bed. About
four O'Clock this morning she woke up and
missed him from her side. On getting up
and looking about the room she discovered
that he had gathered up some clothing and
packed il in satChel. Further search led
to the discovery that he had robbed her OF
$3.50 and taken his departure, thus leaving
her penniless and dependent on her own
resources. She consulted police headquar-
tiers, where she related what is herewith
given, and asked that something be done
towards the recovery of her money.
Superintendent Thompson informed her
that the utmost he could do would be to
try to ascertain her husbands whereabouts
and if successful she could elect TO 90 with
him or not, as she might choose, no crime
that the law could take coguizance OF hav-
ing been committed in taking her money.
She was inclined to think that her hus.
band and Chisel had planned to 90 away
together, and McGumfrey had taken her
money to travel with.-Columbus Dis

A RICH MAN STARVED
All Kinds ofFood Denied Him-A Diet
That Il iiled a Jersey Man.
Someryille Jou'na

so Jones is deadl'' said one Somer-
Vile man To another.
Yes, poor fellow, was the reply,
hes gone"
What did he die off" inquired the
first speaker.
Starvation - was the answer.
Starvation! Good gracious, the
man was worth $50, 600. "
Il know that: nevertheless, he died
OF starvation. I'll tell you how twas.
Jones was always fancying that there
was something the matter with him
50 he went TO a doctor one day and had
himself examined, and the doctor in
formed him that he had kidney di-
sease, and that. besides taking medi-
cine, ne must diet himself. Said the
doctor You must avoid all kinks of
salt meats, salt fish, potatoes, cabbage
and vegetables of every kind. Jones
followed the advice, but found him
self no better. He went to another
doctor, and, after being examined
was informed that he must avoid all
kinds of fresh meats also. This did
not do him any good, as he thought,
and he went to another doctor, who
highly approved of the advice which
had previously been given, and fur
ther warned him against all kinds of
pastry, likewise shell-fish, including
oysters and CLAIMS. The best thing for
YOU is milk diet, said this doctor, so
Jones lived wholly upon milk. Not
feeling himself any better he went TO
another doctor, who cautioned him to
avoid milk above all things if he want
ed to get we'll This reduced Jones
to a diet of cold water and fresh air,
and, finding himself no better under
this regime, he went to another doc
tor, who advised him to beware of
drinking too much water and being
too much in the air. This last advice
cut off the last of Jones articles of
diet, and he died Of starvation, as
have told YOU.
