There's good deal of guarantee bust
ness in the store keeping of to-day. Its
too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. WOrds-Only
words.
This offer to refund the money, or to
pay reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the reward. OF
course.
SO, whoever is honest in making it.,
and works-nOt OH his own reputation
alone, but through the local dealer,
whom you know, must have something
he has faith in back of the guarantee.
The business won't stand IA year without
it.
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that, what ia lacking is that clear
honesty which is above the average
practice"
DR.. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed
to accomplish what they are intended to
do. and their makers give the money
back if the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't ii strike you that a medicine,
which the makers have so much conf
denCe in, is the medicine for you?

THE SCHOOL HOUSE FIRE.
The Insurance Four Thousand Dollars
Tho Plugs Not Frozen

The Insurance Four Thousand Dollars
Tho Plugs Not Frozen.
The members of the Board of Educa-
ton have as yet taken no definite steps
toward reopening the Lincoln school,
but number of localities have been
under discussion by members. The
Committee on Buildings and Grounds
OF the Board has immediate control of
the situation and meeting will likely
be arranged for soon. A very large
number OF colored citizens are in favor
Of rebuilding the school at some
other point than the old site, and
strongly favor some such locality as
Chapline and Eleventh streets,
Eleventh aud Morrow, or Chap
line and Market alley. They
object to the old site as being difficult
Of access, especially in winter, and par
ticularly for small children, and big
effort will be made to have q change.
The Second ward Market hall, the Mu-
see Theatre, the old Jail and the old
Court House have all been suggested as
a place to reopen the school tempo
rarily, but all are open to objection, the
Musee because the rent asked, S35 per
week, is too much, the Court House be-
cause II is not inhabitable, the jail be-
cause the rooms are too small, and the
Market hall because It offers none OF
the conveniences which should be asso-
ciated with a school, and consists Of but
one big room.
A lamentable thing about the fire
was the destruction Of the piano which
had been purchased by the pupils. A
fine encyclopedia was also burned.
The Board had $500 INSURANCE on school
furniture and $1,000 on the building,
divided equally between the six local
companies, aud the Phoenix and Nor
witch Union.
Janitor Butler says be attended to the
stoves with his usual care, Wednesday
evening, and cannot account for their
becoming overheated. 1t has been sug-
gested that perhaps tramps or others
were in the building during the night,
but whether this is so or not can not be
definitely ascertained.
Referring TO the oft-repeated alega-
tions about frozen fire plugs, member
Of the Water department said yester-
day:
There are no frozen plugs; they
can't freeze. The trouble arises from
the gum valve sticking in the valve
seat, and if the engineer of the stesmer
trying the plug will just run a steam
pipe into the plug pipe and turn on a
little steam it will open up the valve in
few seconds. These stories about
frozen plugs are simply gotten up for a
purpose. We know the plugs can
not freeze, but as an extra pre-
caution we keep fires around them
in severe weather. Two of the three
plugs used this morning had fires around
them, yet they were no more free OF ice
than the plug which had no fire. Every
cold morning We have man make the
round of the plugs with lead line.
which he lowers into the pipe, and in
no instance has he found frozen plug"

ro-NIeHr'S BOXING MATCH.


The Pastime Athletic Club Has All Ar
Contest Tonight.
Indications are that the contest to-
night between Ed Riley, Of Washing
ton, D. c., and Billy Smith, Of Parkers-
burg, w. Va, will prove to be the best
of its kind seen in Wheeling. The men
are to box fifteen rounds with gloves
for scientific points, under the auspices
OF the newly organized Pastime Ath'
letic Club Of this city. Smith arrived
here Wednesday morning looking fit to
do battle for a kings ransom. he
weighed, stripped, 1872 pounds. Riley,
who has also been conditioning himself,
tops Smith two pounds and has also a
little advantage of the Parkersburg boy
in height, but what the sturdy West
Virginian lacks in weight and height
he certainly makes it up In nerve, pluck
and muscle.
The contest is to be for points, and
necessarily devoid Of all brutality, but
to box one hour men must have wind,
science and muscle. The entertain
ment tonight will be strictly within the
limits Of the law. and will take place at
IL o'clock, or as soon as possible after
the theatrical performances are over.
The club have secured hall for tempo
rary quarters in the heart Of the city,
and all those desiring to attend this en-
tertainment can do so by securing tick
cts from club members and at the lead
ing sporting resorts.
Smiths record has already been pub
lished, and Riey's friends claim he is
too modest to give his record, as 1t
would take up too much space. Suffice
to say he is an old, experienced and sue
cessful artist In his line OF business.

A Convivial Gathering OF Bondholders
banquet at the Mcclure.
"Who are those distinguish ed looking
gentlemen down there?" ''Are they
connected with the Canadian PacihcP'
81 expect they are party Of syndicate
magnates from New York or Chicago,
| remarked a number of transient board
ers In the dining-room OF the Mcclure
yesterday noon,a as they gazed at select
party of fifteen gathered about two OF
the tables. But, heavens, can't they
eat?" remarked another as he gently
passed eight more French peas down
his throat.
1t was the occasion Of q compliment
airy banquet given by Col. f. c. Myers,
the poet and German Solicitor OF the
Fire and Marine Insurance Co. to a
number of his Insurance and Building
Association friends. Those present
were: Col. F. c. Myers, Gen. ID. u.
/ Shriver, Capt. C. ]. Rawling, Major b.
s. Mcclure, and Messrs. Wylie Irwin,
c. Fl. Collier, Jr., Thos. Marker, Jos.
Lawson, II. f. Jones, j. H. Jones, ID.
w. Fair, John Dick, Frank Mcneil,
Chas. Copp.
After all had done justice to the In
viting vlands nothing but the plates
and table cloth being LETT the host OF
the occasion let himself loose on a grace
full post-prandial, in which he narrated
the exploits OF other days, how he used
to shoot "Injuns" out Of Fort Henry
Garrison; how he used to set up the
oysters for the old Hope" fire engine
boys; his gallant services in the late I'M
pleasantness; how the rebels fell back
when they heard he was coming; how
he steam boated from here to Marietta
in skitf, and several other pleasing
hair curriers'.
The next performer in broad daylight
was Mr.. Bernie Mcclure, who tore quite
a hole in the atmosphere by reading a
species of divine afflatus known as barn
yard poetry. The dining room door
was locked, and all inside remained
with stoical fortitude. 1t was q jolly
affair throughout.
The banquet was more particularly
in honor OF Gen. II. u. Shrver, the
pioneer sheep-rGiser Of Preston county,
this State, formerly an insurance agent
here. Gen. Snriver was born and raised
in this city.

THE TAX ON WHISKY.

A Cincinnati dispatch of April %
reads as follows:
To-day the distillers of Ohio and Ken
tuoky were notified that Internal Rev.
enue Commissioner Mason has absolutely
refused to grant further time TO those who
have large quantities of whisky In bonded
warehouses, in which to pay the tax, re-
gauge and move the goods. This is a seri-
GUS blow to them. The custom has heretofore
been with other commissioners to allow
seven months grace. Il is claimed that a
strict adherence to the law will involve
heavy expenses on the part of the govern
ment, in the employment of additional
gaugers. The bonded warehouse storage
this year is the largest ever known, and es-
peCislly is this 80 in Kentucky, where the
crop 30 far has been double that Of 1892,
and the round total of gallons will keep up
close to 50,0O0,000. The number Of gallons
of taxable spirits of all kinds in bond in
1892 was lie, ,813, ,934. The owners, to take it
out, will be obliged to pay the government
in revenue taxes $122, 2,654, ,6S0.70. This sum
does not include the estimated taxes for the
present year.
The appearance of this dispatch
caused considerable comment at the
time but the unrelisbllitY of associ-
ated press dispatches in general led
us to pass it by until more Satisfac-
tory information could be obtained
concerning the facts As the subject
Is one of general interest, we wrote
the commissioner of internal revenue
inquiring If the statements contained
