A HOTEL BEAT.
j, w. Smith, alias j. j. Williams Arrested |
Yesterday and Sent to Jail.


Some days ago man registered at
the Hotel Windsor as j. j. Williams,
and remained at the hotel four days,
leaving without settling his hotel bill.
He then went 10 the hotel Vankeuren,
where he registered as j. w. Smith,
and remained for three days and half.
Clerk Harry Adams, Of the Hotel Wind
sor. learned OF his whereabouts, and
made complaint to officer Lee Buch,
who placed him under arrest yesterday
afternoon. He was taken before JUS
tice Ankle, who committed him to jail
in default of bail, for an examination
this afternoon at three o'clock.
When Smith was searched, an invita-
ton addressed to Mr.. VsnKeuren was
found in his pocket. 1t had been
stolen from the Office. The proprietor
afterward learned that he had been WIS.,
iting the rooms Of the boarders, and
representing himself as Mr.. Vankeur-
ems nephew. 1t is quite probable that
some of the guests will find that some
of their valuables are missing. Williams.
or Smith, will find that the recent law
enacted by the Legislature make 1t
serious offense to "beat" hotels.
Smith appears to have sailed under
half a dozen aliases. When arrested
letters were found on his person ad-
dressed to D. D. Truxell, Stark county,
o., w. II. Anderson and Walter Ander-
son. The latter two were Mcclure
House envelopes and paper. One en-
velope was empty, and the other con-
tanned cipher message, which makes
it look very suspicious. When ques-
toned as to his reason for assuming so
many names, the prisoner could give no
satisfactory explanation. He only said
he supposed he just took notion to
do it," Asked if he knew anybody In
town he replied that he was well &C
ouainted with Else Gray and Frank
Cham ers. He has been noticed for
several days in the McLure House
writing room, at all times apparently
busy writing letters.

did not succeed In attracting
the attention OF the driver. The
buggy belonged to DR.. Reed. and was
being taken to the stable. The rear
end Of the rig was damaged somewhat,
and the occupant, VIM. Clendenning,
who is employed at Stump's livery
stable, was thrown out. He was
stunned by the fall, and was car
ried into Henry Jacobs store where he
was brought about all right.
DR.. Reed was summoned, and 1t was
found that one leg was badly sprained,
and he will not be able TO use 1t Tor
some time. The limb was fractured
several years ago. He also sustained
bruises about the face. Mr.. Glenden-
ming places the blame on the motor
man, and claims that he did not ring
the bell.

The Cloth Robbery.

No one has yet been arrested for the
stealing Of the bolt OF cloth from Mr..
Philip Winters, the North Wheeling
merchant tailor, as narrated yesterday
morning. The goods are valued at fully
forty dollars. Mr.. Winters said yesterday
the two men came into the store Friday
and one OF them asked for patch. The
men were told that Mr.. Winters did not
do any repair work, except for his Gus
toners, and the men left, one wearing
an overcoat, going out first. Saturday
evening one of the same parties went
into the store again, having with him
another strange fellow, and asked him
for a patch. Mr.. Winters was absent
at the time, but Mrs. Winters recog-
nized the fellow as one OF the two men
who was In the day before and immedi-
ately ordered them out. The evident
purpose was to make another theft.

George Teal, of Burlington, Almost
Asphyxia ed Yesterday Morning.
George Teal, who lives up the river
about Burlington, came TO the city on
Sunday, aud Sunday night registered
at the Farmers Home, on Market
Square, Second ward, aud went to bed.
he did not appear for breakfast at the
usual hour and a messenger went TO his
apartment. There was no response 10
repeated knocks, and as there was a
strong odor Of gas coming from the
apartment the door was forced, when
Teal was found almost suffOcated and
the gas flowing out OF the burner in a
steady stream. The windows were at
once opened and DR.. AshbrooK was sum
moned. He had great difficulty In
bringing the patient around, but after
a lapse OF several hours he was pro-
nounced all right and during the day
made considerable Improvement. II is
thought he blew out the gas in the good
old way.

M'GIBENY FAMILY.
At the Grand on Thursday evening,
December 90, the famous McGibeny
Family, said TO be one Of the greatest
musical organizations now before the
public. The Grand Rapids Times says:
One OF the finest entertainments that
Grand Rapids has had was given In the
Opera House Wednesday evening by
the McGibery Family. They are truly
wonderful and more than fulfill all that
is claimed for them.
THE OPERA PATIENCE.
At the Opera House next Saturday
afternoon and evening, December 81,
Mr.. Henry Z. Dixey and his famous
opera company will present that gor.
geous revival of Gilbert and Sullivan's
masterpiece, Patience" which has
Just played one OF the most successful
weeks known in the history of the Du-
ouesne Theatre, Pittsburgh. The re-
vival of this charming opera has GER
tainly been 4 wise move upon the part
of Mr.. Dixey. as ii not only proves how
vastly superior these operas are above
the present so-called comic operas, but
that the public is most willing to well
come at all times the revival OF Gilbert
and Sulivan's works. which are hap
py blending OF quaint comedy and
charming music. In the character OF
Bluldlor7le, Mr.. Dixey, who was the
original in this country, is likened TO
Joseph jefferson, and is sure to be as
dear to the theater-goer.
THE PLAY OF JOSEPH"
Joseph" is a jolly comedy Of French
origin and English adaptation, full
enough of fun to keep shouting with
laughter two fair-sized audiences which
filled the Opera House. The play is ex-
ceedingly clever and is filed through
out with comical sayings and ludicrous
situations. Indeed, from first to last
the comedy is q tissue Of funny compli-
cations. Ramsay Morris has selected
an admirable company OF players, easily
In It's entirety the best seen here this
season. There is not a weak spotin the
whole organization. Miss De Wolfe, as
Constance, is admirable. Mr.. Giddens,
as Joseph, is intensely amusing with his
meek counteuance and mild manners
aud is continually getting himself into
fresh complications. He was lrresistl-
bly, droll from beginning TO end and sus-
talned the character with great earn
estuess. The balance OF the company
pay their respective parts well. An
other performance OF Joseph" will be
given this evening and any one who
would like to enjoy couple OF hours OF
solid fun should not miss 1t.

THE RAIN MAKERS.

Three men from Kansas, repre-
senting an incorporation called the
Interstate Artificial Rain Company,
have commenced operations in Tulare
County, California. The experiment
will be made in one of the dryest |
parts of the State and if successful
will fully establish their claim for
rain production. In the East
rain falls easily and naturally. One
of their so called droughts seems all
most a misnomer to Californian or
Neyadan who is accustomed to four
or Eve months of uubroken fair
weather. 1t would appear quite
difficult affair to cause rain to fall
where nature has fixed her laws to
Govern otherwise. Yet in these days
of scientific resources natural laws
are capable of nearly as many twist
ings as those ef the average legisla-
ture. If the experiments prove sue
csssful in Calf ,rnla it will warrant
Nevada in securing the services OF
these people. Already the company
is preparing to sell State and County
rights and Nevada capitalists can have
= chance to benefit the poor men
while el.riching themselves which
would be novel sensation to the
majority of them.
A weekly or semi>weekly rainfall
would do more good to the crops
than two weeks time spent IN irriga>
ting with bitches. This may be
Neyada's salvation. That she will
eventually be an agricultural State
there is no doubt. Better agricul-
tural land cannot be found IN the
United States than is here waiting
for the plownan and planter. For
years The patient sagebrush has pro-
duced and shed its leaves drawing
little nourishment from the soil arc
enriching it yearly with leaf mould
The soil is black and rich where
over the sagebrush grows and plentl'
full rain would make of our muct
derided country a paradise. A
beautiful as California without he
deadly malaria.
