ULINCHED THEIR HOLD.
The south Side Team Takes Two More
Games.


The South Side and w. A. w. teams
of the Wheeling League met last night
at Mozart Park, and the first mentioned
team easily won two victories. These
games enable the South Siders to look
upon the trophy offered by the League
with a greater feeling OF security and
contentment. They have but TWO more
games TO play. meeting the Bowlers at
the Park next Thursday night. II they
take both games the team cannot be
passed in the race. If the teams break
even 1t is just possible for the Column
bias to tie for first place. On the other
hand, the Columbus meet the strong
Wheeling Bowling Club tonight, on
the home alleys of the latter team, and
next week the Calumets, also at the
Park. In order 20 vic the champion
ship, it will be necessary to take the
four games, which is hardly probable,
since all are played at the Park aud
against strong clubs. The South Side
team has lost but one game during the
season on its home alleys.
In last nights games Marshner took
the honors, rolling up the highest score
i'm each game. He is Charley SeiberPs
strongest competitor for the individual
trophy. The South Side team bOwled
in excellent form, while the playing Of
its opponents was little off, The
South Side team won by over 500 points
in the aggregate.
Following were the scores:

A Former Wheeling Lady.

Agnes Bernard, the pleasing soubrette
OF the San Devere Speciality Company,
which begins an engagement at the
Grand tonight, will scarcely be recog-
uized by Wheeling people as Agnes Sui
livan, the child actress, who delighted
many audiences Ia this city at amateur
entertainments, fifteen years ago. She
is the daughter of Z. 5. Sullivan, a tai
ented actor, who is now starring In his
own company through the eastern
States. The family lived in the Eighth
ward for several years, during which
time Mrs. Sullivan, also the possessor
of a voice Of wonderful strength and
purity, was leader of the choir OF the
immaculate Conception.

The Colts, the popular social organ

Roller Skating Race.

One week from tonight the lovers OF
rolor skating will have an opportunity
TO witness one Of the greatest three mile
races ever skated. The contestantS
McClelland aRd Hanke, are too well
known throughout the country, and es-
pecialy here in Wheeling, to need any
Introduction. As both men claim the
championships their respective classes,
and as the feeling between the men has
been very bitter, the public may rest
assured that they will witness one Of
the hottest" races ever pulled of on
roller skates. In our previous an
nouncement Of the race we were in err
ror in stating that the race would come
of tonight, as 1t will not take place
until the 22d. Stakes, 500 per side.

A League Meet Here This Season an

The local wheelmen, through Chief
Consul Jason Stamp, made an effort at
the National League meeting 10 have
Wheeling included in the racing circuit,
and secured a promise that their wishes
would receive attention when the cir

Stamp received q letter from h. E. Ray
more, chairman Of the L. A, w. racing
board, stating that the Wheeling
Athletic Wheelmen will be given a
Mace in the national circuit. The date
viii be announced about May 1st, and
will probably be in the latter part Of
September.
The League meet on the Fair Grounds
last year was 3 complete success, and as
the interest in cycling is growing, il is
probable that the coming meet viii be
we'll attended. 10 is perhaps not gener-
ally known that Wheeling last season
distributed prizes aggregating in value
more than those offered by almost every
city in the circuit.

Excitement On. Twenty-fOurth street.

About 8 o'clock last night there was
unusual excitement on TWenty-fourth
street. 1t was all caused In the simplest
way, and this was how II was: Fireman
John Wilson, OF the Niagara, was pre-
sented with one OF the Columbian
Guard whistles which had been used az
the Worlds Fair. Charles Johnston,
who had been guard, presented 1t to
the fireman, and 1t was this shrIl-sound-
ing whistle which caused all the excite
ment. At the time named a telephone
message came to the house house for
Officer James Driller. The official was
not there at the time, and Mr.. Wilson
went ont to find him, and he took his
whistle. He started up the street, and
gave the Worlds Fair signal a toot.
Then the people heard II and started to
the hose house. They came in droves,
for the sound was new one, and the
people thought there must be some
thing very sery serious. 1t did not take
them long to find out the Cause OF the
excitement, and they departed.

DAY.
There was trouble Ia some form or
other at the Standard mill, Btnaviile,
Yesterday. and as a result the crews Of
mill No. ii were of work, but whether
they were discharged or quit of their
own volition could not be ascertained
last night. A committee Of half doz-
en- men employed on the mill were in
this city last evening, consulting
with Amalgamated officials, but they
were very cautions in talking about the
case, and did not drop any material
facts. 1t is known that the men did
not quit work either with the advice or
consent of the mill committee, but that
is about all that is definitely known.
There has been trouble growing out
OF this mill, No. IL, for some time past,
and it is probable shat old complications
of a certain nature have a bearing on
the present difficulty.

1t was just before the war. Squire
Johnson had been to Nashville, and on
his return home brought "Ole Nose" I"
the favorite slave on the plantation, a
new hat. Nose was very proud of it.
The next Sunday the squire was driv-
ing home from church with his family,
and the carriage overlook Nose and
his ''ole miss trudging along afoot 1t
was raining slightly, and the squire
noticed that Nose was bareheaded and
was carefully protecting his new hat
with his coat.
why don't you wear your new hat,
Mose?' inquired the squire. You'll
get that old head of yours wet.''
Oats SO, Mass Johnson" replied
Nose, 'but dat ole heads yours and de
hats mine.'
The squire used to miss a chicken
now and then, and at length the mys-
terious disappearance was laid at the
door of one Ezekiel, who was accused
of the theft by his master.
Zeke was darky of exceptional wit.
He had picked up little arithmetic
and prided himself on his acuteness.
When charged with the chicken tax
ing he asked warily:
Nov, Marse johnson, if l can show
you dat l only TUX dem fowls for yoh
good, will you let NE go JUS dis time?''
The squire was curious to hear his
defense and told him he would do so.
well, you say you paid nine hun
dred dollars for me, and weighs JUS
bout hundred and fifty pounds Dat
makes six dollars pound. Now, if l
turn yoh chicken meat dat amt wuff
noah ten cents a pound into nigger
meat dats wuff six dollars yoh JUS dat
much better off. Don't you see?''
"Of course the squire saw, and he
used often to repeat the story and
laugh at the darky's ingenuity.
The war came on and Zeke was one
day detailed off the plantation to heIp
throw up some earthworks. The enemv
observed the defensive preparations
and began to shell the place. The first
missiles went wide of the mark, but
after few rounds the range was found
more accurately and the shells began
to burst uncomfortably close to 'Zekiel.
He stood his ground as long as he
could, but at last dropped his shovel
and ran for his life The officer in
charge of the operations met him a
little distance down the road and. halt
ing him, ordered him to explain his
fight. Zeke was trembling with fright,
but found breath to say:
"Dey's shooting over dare, and Mars.

hundred dollars for me in Memphis
and he can't afford to have me killed"

DON'T BREED SCRUBS.
There is No Profitable Market for Their
Product and Never VIII BE.

There Is No Profitable Market for Their
Product and Never VIII Be.
To farmers who have common grade
mares, and who will soon be looking
around for some cheap five dollar-horse
to take them to the coming spring, we
would say, save the five dollars and
don't breed them at all. If you haven't
found it out we want to tell you there
is no market for scrubs and never will
be again in this country. So, would
say, stop breeding them at once and it
will only be a few years till they will
be no more-and how much better off
We'll all be. We will have to have
some kind of horses, it is true, but Sc
lect some special line of breeding:
either the heavy draft, the
coacher, the saddler or the
roadster, and by the time your mon
grels have worn out and died off you
will have something to take their
places that will be a source of pleasure
and comfort as well as pride and profit.
1t isn't necessary now to advise farmers
to beware of the fast-horse craze. for
the craze has about subsidized and is
harmless. But animals bred along
either of the lines above suggested
now command fair price and will be
better in the near future / would say
to the farmer of limited means get one
good mare to start with, breed her to
the best stallion within reach, for fees
are being put down to reasonable
figures and by the time the horses
you have on hand are worn out, it will
hardly be possible for you to ever sell
them. You will find yourself in pos
session of something just to your lik-
ing and which will realize you good re-
suits.
And just because your mare won't
bring you good colt don't try to get
good mule from her. for the chances
are that in this you will be sadly dis
appointed, and in the end will find that
you have only been adding your mite
to the overproduction of mules on the
market. If you haven't first-class
mare and are not in reach of a first
class stallion of some breed that
the market demands / would stop
breeding short off 1t will not only be
money in your pocket at this time and
under the present state of affairs to do
this, but better for you and the farm
ing community in general for all time
to come. Too many of us / know are
like sheep, go rushing along to ruin
