This community received shock, on Saturday,
in the form of the death of Charley Shallcross the
thirteen year old son of Isaac Shalcross formerly
of st. Clairsville, now resident of Wheeling. He
came early in the summer to visit his grandmotl-
er, near town, intending to stay only short time,
but as his uncle and aunt were both soon attacked
with typhoid fever and his services were needed
he remained, and by his obedient, genial and
sOlicitous disposition won the hearts of all with
whom he came in contact A little over week
ago he complained slightly, but the cause was at
trbuted to nothing more serious than the eating
of an over-amOunt of ild-grapes, which he found
in his rambleS. He was soon able to be about
again and on Friday evening he was found sitting
on the curb of the well rinSing his mouth with cold
water and complaining of great weakness, while
his extremities were cold to the touch. He was
Helped into the house and to bed, where he died
at halfpast two on Saturday. He'seemed to suffer
little pain 1t will be remembered that he lost a
foot last spring, by street car accident at Wheel
ing. He bore his affiictiOn bravey and cheerfuny;
he was unusually intelligent, attractive and afec
tionate. The funeral occurred on Sunday at three
O'Clock; interment at St. Clairsville.
Our citizens are somewhat agitated over the
question of the location of the West End voting
place. As matter of course, all want it located
here, holding forth, among other things in favor,
the fact there is already suitable building offered
for the purpose by C. P, Clark, and also the num-
Der of public places, as stores, groceries and
shops, where the people may seek shelter in case
the weather is inclement on election day. More
over, InlS place Is Iully dS acceSSlDle 10 du as
either of the other three mentioned places. In
agine two three hundred voters collected at the
Great Western or the Intirmary and drenching
rain coming is often the case in the spring
and fall election times; we presume the places of
shelter would be crowded to Overfowing and then
some. We sincerely hope when all things are con-
sidered that this will be the chosen place.
A Republican meeting will held in the school
house on Tuesday evening, October G. Several eX-
ceent speakers will be there and mock election
will be prominent feature. All are cordially in
vited to attend. NJ.
