For Hotel Clerks to Remember.

For the benefit of the man who blows
out the gas it should be generally known
that the administration of few drops
of acetic ether on lump of sugar will
usually revive people who have become
insensible from the effects of illuminat-

To Test the soundness OF Timber.

By placing the ear close to one end of
a stick of timber, while another person
delivers succession OF smart blows with
a hammer or mallet upon the opposite
end, continuance of the vibrations will
indicate to an experienced ear the de-

boy took an active part in the canvass for his

and tired, this lad was in dead earnest. A.
free train ran to Shoshone and back on elec-

boy went to Shoshone-So miles away

platform and made a speech, stating who he
was. that his father, formerly principal of
the HALEY school, died year ago, that his
mother was teaching for a living, that she
had five children, that she was now running
for Superintendent of the County Schools,
that she needed the office, that she was cap.

Mr.. SheetZ Explains.

A week or so ago Marshal Burke, Of
Bsllsire, stated that gentleman from
Wheeling named Sheetz bad skipped out
with FIVE dollar bill which be had gone
out to get changed after selling q lady some
medicine. Mr.. Sheetz, who is an old
resident Of Wheeling and has been selling
his remedy here for come time, says
the statement of Marshal Burke is un-
true. That the man who took the money
was fellow who wanted to sell medicine
for him, and that he was taking the man
around in order that he might get an
insight into tina business When the lady
handed him the bill he had no change,
and told the fellow he would wait until
he went out to change it. Mr.. Sheetz
says be waited an hour, but the rascal
did not come back, and be left his
valise full of medicine as
security that the lady wonld get her
money back that be then came to Wheel
ing, secured the money and returned to
Bellairs next day with the intention Of
making good to the lady her loss, but in
the meantime her son had informed the
police who had seized bis valiss, and the
lady refused to receive the money, and in
this shape the matter stands to-day. This
goes to prove that Mr. Sheetz was honest
in the matter and it was not fault of his
that the other man skipped.

No False Economy in His.

"See here" said a well known citizen
yesterday to a reporter, II see there is q
coed deal OF talk about abolishiog the
hook and ladder company aud running the
machine on the old style. That is, after
the engines have been taken to fire to
have the horses of the first that arrives on
the scene 60 back and get the ladder
truck. What do you think Of that?'
The reporter informed the gentleman
that he nevert bought, and he continued:
"Well, / think that would be the con-
demnedest piece of foolish economy that
the city ever attempted. Wheeling has
good FIRE department noW-ranks proper
tionately with the best in the country
and do not think it should be impaired
by any bad break like that. The citizens
are not kicking against the expense of the
fire department, and can only imagine
they would heartily kick against any such
measure of false economy We can't do
without the hook and ladder company, and
if such proposition should come before
Council, l hope it will be squelched."

A BAR ASSOCIATION.
A Prospect that a Preliminary Meeting Will
be Held ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to be Derived.

On several occasions in recent years ct.
temp.s havs been made BY attorneys prsc'
ticing in this county to form Q perma'
nent organization, embracing all the prac
ticiDg lawyers in Ohio county, but from
one cause or another the efforts have
failed. Recently, however. the project has
been revived in very energetic way, and
judging from the enthusiasm with which
the matter has been received by our attor'
neys the effort will this time be crowned
with complete success.
THE MOVING SPIRIT
in the formation OF the Association is Mr.
I. M. Gsrvin, snd he has lent to Q coz
summation Of The idea much of his time
and attention. At present, however, the
matter is in charge OF committee Of
three, consisting OF II. M. Russell, W. p.
Hubbard and Benz. S. Allison. who are ar
ranging preliuinaries and taking the mi
tisl steps. 1t is probable that these gen
tlemen will call meeting Of the attorney
OF the county fer tomorrow, when tn.
project will be fully explained and Q fret
interchange Of views had. Privately about
four.ffths of the attorneys of the county
have signi6ed their approval Of the propos
ed organization, and ell will undoubtedly
become members
TIE BENEFITS
to be derived from an Association are
manifold. One Of the leading objects te
be attained is the formation OF q Law Ii.
brary adequate to the needs Of the mem.
bers. For years the county library hai
tailed to meet the demand Tor books, bu
its many deficiencies were supplied from
the State library during the continuance
Of the Capitol here. When the tones be
longing to the com monweslth were carted
OF the attorneys were once more put Il
great Inconvenience, and the trouble ha,
continued up to the present time. II Is
hoped By leading lawyers that in the even,
ofthe Association being formed the county
will deliver over to it the present collec
ton Of books, with lhe understanding tha,
the Association should add to them and
keep the entire collection available 70,
reference. 1t will probably take several
thousand dollars to purchase the books
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY,
and the only way they will ever be obtained
will be for the proposed Association Ia
purchase them.
Among other things to be attended to
by the Association will be the getting up 81
q proper fee bill, the pointing out and rem
edyiDg of defects IA the State laws, the
proper punishment Of attorneys guilty Of
unprofessionsl conduct, &c.
Attorneys hore that with the establish
meut Of Bar Association in Ohio county
other counties would be led to take like
step, and that finally State Association
might be formed, embracing every prscic
ing attorney in the State. There are
about FIFTY prsctieing attorneys in this
county, and as far az heard from oil are
heartily in favor of the organisation.

raE IRON NAIL.
What Secretary spaulding Says About

What Secretary Spaulding says ABOUT
1t.
Secretary Spaulding, Of the Mingo nail
works, has been interviewed about the iron
nail, with the following effect:
"No" replied Mr.. 8. Il do not think the
iron nail is thing Of the past, for the rea-
son that it is better for many purposes
than STEEL"
why then does everybody want steel
nails2'
"Why is il the American people want
every new thing? was the reply. ut is
one Of those fancies which l think will
wear ont. For fine finishing work car.
penters prefer iron nails, among other
reasons because if they fail to drive
nail in for any cause 1t
can be easily broken of or taken out
without destroying:ths wood. The holding
power of the iron nail is also better in soft
woods, and it is undoubtedly superior for
roofing purposes. Bot the fathers prefer
steel nail because il is smoother, and they
put them in their mouth before driving.
They are also better for hard wood flooring
and work of that kind II makes very little
difference to us whether we make iron or
steel nails, but the Western farmers just
now want the latter, aud Of course we must
manufacture the kind which they desire"
