1t is quietly whispered that "Charlie"
Wells, Of growers Gap is out OF the fight
for the United States Marshalsliip after
the :4th Of March and that he is Major AL
derson's chiefcompetitor for the position
OF collector of'internal revenue. II such
is the case the Major will have to look out
for himself, for Wells is not the man to
make a mistake in his dscards over the
poker table or elsewhere. He has not
thrown down even n bob-tailed flush 10

is the candidate still untrotted out on

Register Editorial.
Vice President Thompson, OF the Ohio
River road, like old wine, improves with
acquaintance. His talk, like the blow Of
a scientific boxer, has force in it. He told
the Register yesterday the road was doing
real well considering all things, and the
dull timesparticularly. When asked about
the effect the suspension OF navigation
had on railroad business, he remarked; it
did it more harm than good as it kept the
Ohio shore people, who p%atronize the
road freely, from crossing tile river. Mr.,
Thompson brought up two coaches yester-
day literally filled with holiday purchas-
ers. Now if the River road was not handy,
for it opens to trade n territory heretofore
inaccessible, in the dead OF winter and the
heart Of summer, Wheeling merchants
would be in a sorry humor over trade Us it
is none OF the best this season.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
and Good Cheer to the pntrens OF tho Can.
ital Restaurant.

For the tenth time Martin Thornton,
proprietor OF the loading and far-famed
Capital restaurant, wishes his patrons
and the. public generally a Merry Christ
mas. Such record for a Wheeling res.
taurant is aproud one, and Martin reali.
zes his achievements and in this holiday
season he glows with b~enevolsnce. He is
famed for giving large value for little
cash, but on such. n day as Christmas
he .outdoes himself. It is the proper
thing for persons who cannot enjoy their
Christmas dinner to dine at Martins. The
comfortable, homelike surroundings, the
liberal and splendid bill OF fare, the clean
and inviting rooms and the attentive
walters, to say nothing Of the genial smile
Of "mine host Thornton, is the best sub.
stitute for n meal in the bosom OF your
family. True, there is no place like home.
but the Capital Restaurant is the next
thing TO it.
