DIR. WILBUR, THE SPECIALIST.
His UnbOunded Success,

On January 9.h that celebrated surgeon
and physician, DR.. Wilbur, who has been
stationed at the Hotel Windsor in this city
for the past month, will leave for Parkers-
burg, and it is but jast tribute to this
gentleman that brief outline Of the rec
ord he has established in this city and sur.
rounding country should be given to the
nublic To say that be has performed
miracles does not half express the
many wonderful cures he has made.
Each day, and even unto a late
hour Of the night, have the weak, De,
crepit, blind and manned, the cd
and the young sought his office to receive
from his hands that which no other skill
save his has been able to relieve. That
many have been turned away as incursble
there is no question, but in many instances
the most despairing have received at bis
hands that relief for which they had so
| long sought, but in vain. To say that ne
has made the blind to see, the lame to
walk, the deformed to once more stand mp
in perfect manhood, the decrepit and
maimed TO walk with renewed Vigor ana
life, and inspired into the hearts OF many
brighter hopes for thei, future happiness,
is but adding to the many praises he Justly
dese1ves, for life spent In constant and
deep researches into many hidden rsme-
dies, that once brought TO light now givss
to suffering humanity that assistance thai
for so long they have called in vain.
That tue world is full of those who claim
to perform many cares, and in nearly every
instance fail, is bnt too we'll known, and
it is for that reason, If for naught else, that
when man is battlipg against these barriers
80 numerous al to seem beyond human
skill to override them passes through and
over every obstacle and finds himself at
last a. loudly praised by the multitude as
they would hurl at the heads Of the pre-
tenders their curses that he Justly merits
every eneJmium of praise that
true manhood can bestow up
on him. Coming to our city o
stranger, ID known to this immediate sec
ton, save By the few who had heard Of
him in other cities, DR.. Wilbur has en-
dsared himself to the many hundreds to
whom hs has given such relief, and will
leavs behind him host of friends who
cheerfuly give ut.erance to every praise
that is given him. Besides all this, be
will leave living witnesses of his wonder
full powers who heartily recommend him
to all who seek relief.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Nan Knocked Down and Beaten at His
Own Door.
PERHAPS FATALLY WOUNDED
The Thugs Get Away With Two Hundred
and Fifty Dollars.
no CLUE TO THEIR IDENTITY.

Last evening about o'clock Edward
Gibbans, an emp!oys of the Bellaire Steel
Works, was most brutality assaulted, beat
en- and robbed at the threshold of his resi-
dencs on Gravel Hill, B:llaire.
His wife was attending the Druids' fes-
tival down in town, and after putting the
children to bed he went out and got
shaved. He then returned to the house
TO secure his overcast intending 10 60 to
the festival and escort his wife home.
Just as he reached the front door he was
assaulted by three men, who knocked him
down before he had time to call for help, and
they kicked him about the back part Of
the bead aud on the chest until he was in
sensible, after which they went through
his pockets and extracted therefrom $23,
which he had received as pay at the s:eel
works.
The men then ransacked the house, and
they seemed 10 know the lay o. tbirgs, for
they went up stairs and went through the
bureau drawers, dumping everything out
upon the floor.
Gibbons had only yesterday had 4 note
for $210 cashed at the bank and had placed
the money, along with some change be-
longing to his wife, in the bureau drawer.
TIE thieves secured all this money also,
after which they made off Gibbons was
found some time later with his body lying
inside the house aud his feet sticking out
the door. DR.. Cooper was summoned,
and he found Gibbons case to be so very
precarious that he called in DR.. West, and
at last reports they were doing what they
could for the injured man. The cbances
for his recovery ara fair, but the doctors
could not form definite idea when last
seen.
There seems to be no clue to the thugs
They secured about $3.50 in all, and it is
thought the children were chloroformed,
as they did not awaken during the whole
time.

Mrs. Reeds Studio.

Last Sundays issue contain ed a reference
TO some of the excellent work that the art
students of Mrs. L. G. Reed had completed.
There should have been also come refer
ence to the work of tire lady herself, but
it was unavoidably emitted. Mrs. Reed
has Just completed as pretty flower piece
a. we ever saw. 1t is a group OF La
France Roses with stems and leaves, and
so true are they to nature, that the bsst
thing that can be said ID praise Of the ar
fist is, the flowers really look az if one
could pick them from the back ground.
The coloring is simply perfect ard the
piece is truly little gem.
Mrs. Reed has upon her easel a life-siz.
crayon bust of Mrs Geo. Gibson, nee Miss
Zsnna Frasher, not quite complete, but
which will, howevel, repay that lady's
friends for trip to the artists studio. II
surpasses the phot0gt aph from which the
sketch is made, and that is saying much.
Mrs. Reed will shortly take charge Of
class at GAINESVILLE, D.

Rosina Vokes,

Wheeling theatre gcers will be given
rare treat in the appearance of Miss Rosina
Vokes and her fine Comedy Company at

says of the company Miss Rosina
Vokes and her London comedy company
made a great hit last night in the treble
bill composed of the pstite drama, I'm
Honor Bound;" the comedy, "Unble's
Will" and the burlesque, "Pantomime
Rehearsal" The uproarious fun o. the
rehearsal is sure cure for the blues. 1t
brings out the full strength of the com.
psny. "Uncle's Will" is comedy Of
repsrtee, and the author has thrown into
it enough bright lines 10 furnish several
acts of more ambitious play. The COM
bat of wit between Miss Vokes and Mr..
Seton in the characters of Florence Mari.

richest things on the stage. The opening
piece of the programme, I'm Honor

A Splendid Attraction.

OF The play Under the Pines" which
opens at the Opera House Monday even
ing and concludes with New Years mat
inee snd evening performance, the Phila-
delphia Record of recent date says:
''There was 3 large audience at the
Grand Opera House last evening, when
among the Pines" was given its first
production in this city. The plsy is
study of character as developed in the pine
forests of Maine, and its scenes delinate,
with more or less accuracy, the temper
and habits of the ruIalists and backwoods-
men, whose lives are spent 10 that little
known section of this vast country. The
plot is the usual and conventional story Of
love, dCub', duplicity, revenge and tiual
Mobilization, and the dramatic unities
we're carefully preserved during the pro-
gress Of the play. 1t is full OF life and
Of local color, reminding one, in this re-
sptct of THE Old Homestead" In the
third act, which discloee5 sawmill in full
operation, the art of the stage manager
and the excellent acting OF the company
were combined ia the production Of an ex-
tremely realistic acene. Atkins Lawrence
in dual role, Catherine Coleman IS the
heroine, and T. J. Herndon and John F.
Ward in character parts, made the nota-
bic hits of the performance.

What 1t ThiI ks of 1t.

Speaking of the proposition to change
the name of the State, the Ohio Ta5ley
Manufacturer says: There may be some
plausible reasons urged in favor of a
change in the name of Our State; but all
we have seen thus far are mere desire for
change without any substantial, practical
bus;nes basis 10 rest upon. The adyo-
Gates of q change may be prompted by
patriotic motives, but it takes pence as
we'll as patriotism to oil and
run the machinery of business, and those
why Oppose such change cannot we'll be
charged with the lack of love of country or
being cynical. One serious objection to
change has evidently been overlooked by
those who advocate it. Daring the twenty
five wears of the existence of the S ate the
name of West Virginia has been worked
into the warp and wool of its
commerce and business, and the elimi-
nation now would work seli-
Gus detriment. Hundreds of businesses
have been blilt up and trade marks es-
tablished in which the name West Viz
ginia has become known factor and a
thing of invaluable worth; all Of which
would be seriously damaged if not entire
" ruined. One firm in this city alone has
D -obably spent million dollars
building up brainess under a
trade mark in which the paue West
Virginia is the main feature; this bust
ness would be a. seriously Injured by a
change of name o. the State as it would be
by the larceny of the trade mark. Statu-
tory law protects the trade mark, and con-
stitutional law ought to confer equal bene-
fits. All these things should be considered
before indulging in a change that is
prompted more by vaulting ambition than
by sound, practical reason

Interesting Railroad Questions.
To ne Editor ofths Register:
s1R:-wll you please furnish a sub
scriber to your valuable paper some in
formation in reference to the following
subjects:
When permission is given to railroad
company to lay a track on one of our
streets, has the company any right to
change the grade of the street, in repairing
its tracks, contrary to the terms of the or
dinance, making the grant?
Did not the Supreme Court of West Vir-
ginia decide that the annuliDg or setting
aside of an ordinance was Legislative and
not judicial act? If go whv does tenn
porary injunction from the Z. S. District
Court, restraining our B. Of P. W. from
interfering with the railroad company In
making repairs to its track, set aside the
ordinance forbidding the railroad COM
pany from changing the grade, as is now
being done on Sixteenth street?
Will the grant to the Electric Motor
Company of the use of Eoff street from
Twenty-seventh to Twenty-ninth street,
prevent the B. of P. w. requiring that
company to postpone the tearing up Of
that street until March 1, 1889? This is
che only street for travel between the
Eighth ward and the city and should be
kept free from obstruction during the win
ter. Will tbs permission from the W. &
