Think Italy Is in for 1t.
Snecial to the Gazette.

Speclal 10 tlle IaZette.
HoUsroN, TEX, March 31.-Congress-
man Abner Taylor Of Chicago, who is in
the city, was asked what he thought of the
discourtesy with which italy had treated
the United States. He said: 1T is a virtual
declaration of war Those men who We're
killed in New Orleans were under Indictment
for crime and their nationality was not yet
settled. They might have been born under
the Italian flag, but they were not here as
visitors. They were earning American
money, and as money earners became virtu-
ally American citizens, and by that act
alone renowned their allegiance to the
king of Italy. Further, Secretary Blaine had
given the Italian government assurance
that the matter would be Investigated, and
no matter what action the state OF Louis
lana might have taken, the Italian gov
eminent was not expected to recognize it as
the final action of the United States. 1t GER
tainly shows war-ike attitude on the part
of Italy and should be met promptly in the
same spirit.
Congressman Stewart of this city is also
of the same opinion as Abner Taylor and
thinks war must result unless Italy apollo
gizeS in the most abject manner.

OOO-Insurance S40OO-Adjacent
Property Damaged.

Special to the Gazette.
OUANAH, Ten, March 3l-About = o'clock
this morning the quiet slumber5 of those
who fingered long on their couches were
broken by the alarm OF fire, the firing Of
pistols and the ringing of the church
bells. Immediately there was a gen
eral rush of old and young,
male and female, to the Commercial hotel,
pointed out By dark line of smoke that
silently rose a few hundred yards high be-
fore bending ~ the north. The city WIS
well filed with witnesses and visitors from

hearty relish TO the work of combining the

of the trainmen and their water supply,

spared time nor horsehesh in bringing then
water tanks into full play.

BISHOP PETERKIN
Makes an Appeal for aid for the shelterlng
Arms Hospital at Paint Greek.

Makes an Appeal for aid for the shelterlng
Arms Hospital at Paint Greek.
We appeal again to our friends to
help US with their offerings on Thanks
giving Day.
The Hospital IS steadily growing in
usefulness. Since the June meeting Of
the COnncl about thirty cases have
been treated, and the additional build
ing which is now nearly compiled, will
put US in much better condition for our
work. There is a growing demand for
our care, as is seen by the fact that the
average number Of our patients is stead
lily increasing; during the first year it
was only two or three; now it is six or
eight.
The superintendent says:
With grateful acknowledgements to
our kind friends for their liberal con-
trlbutions since last Thanksgiving Day,
desire to say that we have been boun-
tifully supplied with hospital equip
mentS, such as sheets, pillow cases and
towels. Our necessities at this time are
Of a different character, but not less i'm
pOrtant and indispensable, viz, sub
Sistence. Groceries, such as -four, su-
gar, coffee, tea, hams, canned meat and
vegetables, crackers, cocoa, chocolate,
Oat meal, corn starch and tapiOca. Also
brandy, whisky and wine. Any OF the
above, which are necessities, would be
gerY acceptable, and also canned fruits
which may be benefcially used by the
patients. Carpet shippers would also
be useful for cOnvaleScents.
To this desire 20 add, in behalf Of
the Board Of Managers that we special
~ desire az this time TO have liberal
offerings Of money, which answereth
all things. The regular charges for
services Of all kinds are necessarily
heavy, and they cannot well be made
less. IL costs about s., zoo per annum to
care for the Hospital, and our main dspen-
dence TO meet this is the subscription
often cents a month, which we have from
six hundred miners-we hope TO increase
the number Of such subscribers to two
thousand, but in the meantime are de-
pendent upon all who will lend a
helping hand. Are there not fifty orone
hundred people in the State who will
give for this good wOrk-the only
one OF its kind In our bOrders-a dollar
a month, and send it regularly TO me.
Would they not find it true that he that
thus giveth TO the poor lendeth to the
Lord. II those who read this would
act at once on their own generous i'm
pulses and not wait for others to lead
in such an effort the whole subscription
list Of a hundred would soon be made
up. Remember dear Friends the words
OF the Lord Jesus, how He said, at is
more blessed TO give than to receive"
Respectfully.

For the Board.

II should be Done.

To ire Editor Of the Register:
see from the report Of the Council
proceedings in the REGISTER that Mr..
Wilson makes the charge that City coun-
Gilman or Cltyofficial or City employe Of
fered to secure the passage OF the Edison
ordinance if properly remunerated. This
may not be the exact charge but there
is sufficient in it in my mind TO suggest
Council could do no less than investi-
gate the matter. As citizen and tax
payer of this city call upon Council
at its next meeting to probe this mat
ter TO the very bottom. There
was always suspicion that something
was rotten about the securing OF the
natural gas franchises. Council must
act in this matter at once, in order to
relieve itself OF the odlum which Is
supposed TO be attached to the Council
which passed the natural gas franchise,
and which will attach TO this Council
unless something as above suggested is
done. Act promptly, gentlemen.

chronic case:
George Chapman, Pinceuing, Mich,

''For four years was In the Mounted
Infantry in the U. S. Army, residing
during that time principally in Texas.
Almost all Of that time had a chronic
skin disease, characterized by an erup-
ton over the entire surface Of my legs
and thighs, arms and chest. The doc
tors termed it eczema. I had given up
all hopes of ever being cured, when
BRANDRETH's Pills were recommended
to me. l concluded to try them, and !
have thanked God daily since then that
l did so. 1 used them for about three
months, and by that time was completely
cured and have never had any trouble

ABOUT THE
High.Prieed Clothing Shops

There are few High-Priced Clothing
Shops, which are supposed to sell cheaper
than any one else. not because they do sell
cheaper, but because they say so. This is
merely talk and has no record to back it, as
YOU will find after purchasing from them.
JOS. JACOBS has record for selling
as good and as well made goods as the high
priced dealers.
JOS. JACOBS buys his Clothing Over
coats and Gents Furnishing Goods from
the same iobbers and manufacturers as
those few bigh-priced dealers Go.
JOS. JACOBS pays spot cash for his
Clothing.
JOS. JACOBS has no window trimmers
at $50 or $40 week. He saves this 10 his
customers.
JOS. JACOBS can give you ten other
pointers where he saves $lCO week. and
his customers get this also.
JOS. JACOBS does not pay 81 GOO to
s., 900 year rent. He is saving this to give
his custsmers Christmas gifts in the way
of bargains, &c.
EJOS. JACOBS has one mar in his en-
ploy-Mr. jacob Good-who is known al
over Wheeling and vicinity as an honest
and intelligent salesman, who is never too
tired to wait on you patiently, and az he
has large experience can give you ideas
on what TO wear.

Go Deer hunting
Petersburg Sentinel.
Capt. Jolly, the bridge contractor,
Commissioner Levi Stephens and Gran
Stout left here about ten days ago on
deer hunt. They went from here to
Elkins, on the West Virginia Cen
trail railroad, and struck across the
mountains of Randolph county, in the
Cheat river country, and put up at
lonely habitation on Middle Ridge, the
nearest house being Is miles distant.
They put In four or five days on Mid
die Ridge and Imboden Ridge, east OF
the Gladys Fork OF Cheat river, away
off in the unbroken forests, where hui
man being is rarely seen.
They had no luck whatever for sew
eral days and were getting somewhat
disheartened when, on Wednesday after
noon Mr.. Stout saw large doe. Draw
ing a bead he brought it down.
The next day jolly got a shot at a
fine doe and it bit the dust. Although
they saw fifteen deer on that day, five
OF which were in one bunch, they were
unable 10 get another shot.
Stephens was pretty sore over his
poor luck and was getting somewhat
discouraged. However they went out
Friday and Stephens started up big
five antlered buck.
1t bounded away like a streak, and it
looked as is he was going to loose 1t.
He took hasty aim when IL was at least
200 yards away and fired, and the buck
dropped pierced through the heart
with the loaded messenger sent after it.
Within an hour atterward he brought
down another big buck.
They considered this enough luck
for one trip and started home, arriVing
here yesterday and the deer came in
last night by express and were viewed
by hundreds of people in front of the
Commercial to-day. It is the finest lot
Of deer seen here for many day.
Commissioner Levi Stephens will
send the deer he killed on his recent
hunt to Pittsburg to a taxidermist to
have the skins treated, mounted and
preserved.
