SGiuGlNyILLE, April 70 The excursion
ISIS returned on the O'Neal. arriving at the
Market street wharf shortly after 2 check,
delighted with their trip, although some OF
lake Thompson's friends OF the male per-
suus;Cn were muttering about his defeat IN
tie three mile race with the Wheeling boy,
Euri cit. The Steubeuvilleans are conf
dent that Thompson is the best man and
feel sure of winning the next race, but you
can't always sometimes tell, you know,
ard By the time the match is made all
the bad feeling may have disappeared
aud the Toys who are now kicking so hard
will feel better This puts us in mind
there has been for some years past a certain
Dad feeling existing between the Court
House aud Nail Cities winch was brought
ahcu, BY the lack Of spDreciation on Wheel
iug's psrt Of Steubenville's musical talent,
and for which slight we have never forgiven
sou. Once upon time an organization
know n as the Weisel Musical Institute visit
ed Cur city for the purpose Of giving con-
cert Steubenville, in her best clothes
greeted the visitors at the
Shslf and gave them q rousing
reception at the hall, the newspapers gushed
At q great rate over the singing OF the
Wbeelingites, and all in all they were
reated right royalty. This made Wheeling
feel good and her newspapers also "gushed' p
back over the hospitality of the,,Buckeyeites.:
Then Steubenville concluded she would
send her JOY and pride, her favorite
musical society, the Philharmonic down
to give concert. In that society was the
two prides Of our heart, W. II. Macdonald,
now of the Boston Ideals, and r. NJ. Jack
son, the pianist, now reader to king.
They sang and played, the society as
sisted, but their efforts were
not appreciated, and the concert fell fat
The Opera House was scarcely half filled,
and the SteubenVille parties at last awak-
ened to..the cold tact that after all their
kindness and appreciation for the West
Eirginisns, it was not reciprocated
Charlie johnson was then running the
Sunday Leader Charlie known about as
much regarding music as clam, yet he
tore Mac Donald to pieces, ridiculed the
Plilharmonics, in fact he openly fnsulted
them and Ne, and from that tina on I'VE
never speak Us "" pass by Tlsn

Wilcoxen, who attempted to STAY Mile
French by shooting her yesterday, has been
rsying around in Jail at . great rate since,
playing the insanity dodge. He beats his
head sgsinst the walls, wants some one to
kill hill him and does other numerous other
foolish things. Yesterday afternoon the
jsil physician, Dr. Mccullough, examined
him and found his pulse at Is and his Goa
