Two Other Ladies'.

The residence of an sged lady Mrs.
Mary Moore, by name, Of 1909 South
Missouri avenue vas entered bv q
burglar about 8 o'clock last night and
the occupant subjected to IN outrage
that leads to the belief that the per.
petrator Of this crime and the negro

At the time the burglar entered the
house the occupant, Mrs. Moore, was
at the home of a neighbor, Mrs. M.
W. Watkins, and on her return
turned up the light which she
had left dimly burning while absent.
No sooner had che illuminated the
room than che was confronted BY q

throat and forcing her to . chair

the burglar that she was afflicted with
heart disease and begged the robber to
get her drink of wafer intending 40
soon as he entered the kitchen to make
her escape.
The brute at first retorted with muir.
derOus threats but by fine
acting the woman was
at length permitted to 20 for

LAST OF The SERIES.
DR.. Brinley's Lectures on Genesis
and Geology Concluded.

DR.. j. B. Brinley concluded III,
second Of q series of lectures on "Gen
esis and Geology" at the Christian
church last night.
The auditorium was crowded to it
fullest capacity by the representative
citizens Of Sedalia.
The three geological ages were cpl.
tomized in the lecturers discourse aad
stereopiican views Of the animals pc
culiar to each respective age served to
increase the interest won by the
speaker throughout the lecture.
Taking the Bible and reading The
account Of creation, he would try
and establish the compatibility be.
tween the Biblical genesis of the Uni
verse and the conclusions reached BY
geology.
When he read SIN The beginning,
ETC." the lecturer paused and gu ri-d.
when was the 'beginnings' echo
answers when? Many scientists have
agreed that the time covers Q D. Rod
Of about G, 200 years but the cbrcnol.
ogical data upon which this is es,ab-
isbed is dark and doubtful"
Speaking along the line of the
worlds age, the lecturer to give some
conception of its antiquity cited his
auditors to the example furnished by
phenomenon in Montana:
at has been couclusively
proven" said he, "that Green River
was once on q level with a mount in
10, 600 feet high and yet to-day his
heap of rock has been washed through
to the bottom-15, 900 feet of rock
washed from top to bottom! l. it
any marvel that many are ofthe opin.
ion that the universe was created mil.
lions Of years ago."
Referring to the accuracy tina.
characterizes the investigations of
science in certain directions however,
The lecturer related how Agassiz on
one of his explorations found Q single
ish scale Embedded in the ice.
After examining it the
great scientist from his knowledge of
,ther piscatorial animals concluded
hat the scale belonged to d fish sui
,eneris.
He set to work with the data at
land and put on paper his concep-
ion of the form in which the fish ex.
sted. Several years thereafter a fish
corresponding to this idea was found. |
At another time q scientist of Ger
many found a bone which he con-
luded after study was the thigh of
ird hitherto unheard of. From his |
nowledge of ornithology be pictured
is conception of tho bird and later
n was rewarded by the discovery of
feathered creature that likewise cor
espond to his conception.
The lecture was intensely interesting
nd highly instructive.

All these went to work at once, ex-
cept Wagner, in the Second ward.
Somebody else will probably be APP

reported some pretty foul places, espec-
tally cellars where decayed vegetables
and the like were allowed to lie.
DR.. Spragg, accompanied by Officer
Ritz, yesterday visited four Italian bar
racks and boarding houses in North

Justly be Proud.


Justly be Proud.
In these days OF talk about impure
water, the problem what to drink be-
comes serious. Fortunately Wheeling
has now source OF supply for pure,
healtful beverages. The Cosgrave
Brewing Co. is prepared to put on the
market its superior cream and crystal
ales and extra stout. These bev-
ersges are made of the purest
and best materials, under the
supervision OF skilled ale makers. 1t
is well known fact that ale, properly
made, is the most advantageous drink
man can take, and the Cosgrave ale is
not excelled in the world. 1t is q new
product OF which this city ought to be
proud. Encouraged at the start it will
prove an industry OF value to the COM
inunity, which will increase the fame
and prestige OF Wheeling as manu-
featuring centre.
The company comprises Mr.. John
Cosgrave. whose aes, brewed in Can
ada, took first premium at the Centen-
nial exposition at Philadelphia and the
Paris exposition, and Mr.. NJ. Lally, a
business man well known in Wheeling,
where he has achieved success in every
undertaking. The ale produced is pro-
nounced by connoisseurs a rival to
BASES. Those who give it a fair trial
will continue to use it.
