Revived,

The meeting this evening Of The gen
eral committee for the coming COlumbi-
an Fourth Of July celebration and also
tho subordinate committees, including
finance, transportation, music, speak
era and entertainment, fire works,
street demonstration, decoration and re-
ceptioR should be well attended, as the
big demonstration WILL then take def
mite shape, The finance committee
willbe readyto report as to the funds
that have been collected and that are in
sight, therefore it Is very important
that there shall be a good attendance Of
the members Of thevarious committees,
and after the meeting 1t is expected
matters will have assumed such shape
that thesubordinate committees can get
down to real practical work, The time
though not very long, tits thought will
be enough, so that everything will be in
shape for the big celebration.
Since the Pompeiian festival project
tell to the ground Monday evening
there has been renewed interest in the
Columbian Fourth celebration, and 1t
u expected this interest will be mani.
tested by large attendance atthe meet
ing OF the various committees this
evening ct the chamber OF commerce.

pate promise to eclipse anything in that
line ever before attempted in Wheeling.

1t looks as though there will be fifty or
seventy.tive entries. 1t is now proposed
to have the start take place from tho
corner OF Eof and Fifteenth streets, the
route to be out Fifteenth on tho brick
paving, and tho start to be made imme.
diately after the speaking and singing
at tho old court house. Unfortunately
there il no suitable place in the city for
the finish, unless by going over Fulton

have the conclusion OF the race at
either Steenrod's or Stackyard Hollow,
where there are nice level stretches OF

those desiring to witness t he finish can
do so.
Chairman Baer and Secretary Dave
Dinger Of the committee on street
demonstration got together yesterday
morning and put matters in connection
with the business OF that committee in
pretty good shape. Societies and organi-
cations intending to take part in the
street demonstration on the Fourth are
requested not to delay sending their
formal acceptance OF the invitations OK
tended, and also state the approximate
number Of men who will be in limo
from their respective organizations.

Ankles court some time ago and placed
under bond not to keep a house OF i'll

and she was arraigned in court and

The law under which bond was required
is pretty flexible, but this was clearly
