Gus Williams appears this season in
a new play entitled april Fool, }"
which he will present at the Opera
House Monday night. The play, which
Is musical comedy, is one that affords
an amplitude of funny situations of
which it is safe to say the inimitable
Gus Williams makes the most. The
farce Is an excellent one and full of
good specialties.

And Her children Burned to Death
While She was away Preaching Her
FavorIte Doctrine.
BELLAIRE, MICH, February THE
house Of Oliver Pattie, three miles
north of town burned to the ground
last night. Three children were roast
ed TO death. Their ages were respect
lively u. 10 and 6. A neighbor boy,
Taylor by name, had been playing with
the children and tits feared that he was
burned too. Neighbors saw the light
at 10 o'clock last night and hurried TO
the rescue but were too late TO do any
good. All the children were in the
house alone. The father works
at nights in Bellaire factory.
The mother was away preaching,
it is said. She is an enthusiastic ad-
herent of sect called the Grover
ines" which fiourishes il this commun-
ity, and much OF her time is spent elu-
cidating their doctrines. Friendly
neighbors at once offered their services
in hunting for the dead bodies. The
bodies were charred almost beyond re-
cognition and there were evidences Of
a frightful struggle with the flames. II
is supposed that the fire started while
the children were asleep and that they
were unable, either through fear or on
account Of locked doors to make their
escape.

Some of the Members OF the Legislature

SpeesaI 7ele0rSsa TO the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, February T.
There are quite number Of members
Of the present Legislature who have
Congressional bees buZZing Industrious
" in their hats. In the House, Dele
gate Thomas, of Putnam, who is one OF
the leaders of the laboring element, and
is man of ability as we'll as courteous
gentleman. would like to represent his
Congressional District in the National
Legislature. Another member, If re-
ports may be relied upon, who considers
the Legislature a stepping stone to
greater things politically, is Delegate
Clark, of Greenbrier. Mr.. Clark is
warm advocate Of the agricultural In
terests, and ready debater. Dame
Rumor has it that Lloyd Hansford, OF
Tucker county, is another member who
would not be adverse to Congressional
nomination.
Your correspondent, in conversation
with distinguished member OF the
upper house, pIOpOuuNOu q quCo'lOH 60
TO how many members Of that body as
pire TO seats in the lower House OF Con-
gress, and the reply was 500" This is
probably an exaggeration, but it is a
fact that there are quite number who
think they would grace seats in that
body. Characteristic West Virginia
modesty prevents many Of them from
discussing the matter, except with init
mate friends. There is one Senator,
however, who has been an avOwed can
didate for Congress, and who nay
some day be a member OF that
distinguished body. 1t is Senator
C. Il. Scott, who numbers
among his constituents no less the dis
tinguished a person than Secretary of
War Stephen B. Elkins. The genial
Secretary flooded Mr. SCOTS district
with money during the late campaign,
in the hope of defeating him, but the
fact that ne was elected by handsome
plurality is the best evidence that can
be given of his popularity. Another
member who has been mentioned by his
friends is the handsome and brainy
president OF the Senate, Hon. Rankin
Wiley, of Point Pleasant.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, February =
The bill introd uced in the House yester-
day by Mr.. Brockuuier, providing for a
change in the time for taking the emu
meration for school purposes, from July
to May, was prepared by Judge Boyd,
of Wheeling, and it is a measure in
which Ohio county people should feel
considerable interest. Under the pres
ent law, the enumeration is taken at
time when all the industrial plants are
idle, and the employees, as we'll as
persons engaged in mercantile pursuits,
are spending their vacations away from
the city. This makes the work more
difficult, and in addition frequently
affects its accuracy.
