greatly opposed to the wedding on ac-

A Pointer.

What is known as the Pleasant Val

Valley tipple, has become quite resort
for gambling on Sunday. The partici-
pants have become bold and the crowd
so large that the officers would have
no difficulty in getting a long list OF
names. The officers should keep an eye
on the place and speedily bring to JUS
tice all who indulge in card playing
there on Sunday, or any other day.

Did Not Get Excited.

The Western Union message boy
took telegram to an employee at the
tannery several days ago with % cents
due on 1t. The day before was pay day
at the tannery and the fellow was al
ready "busted." The man told the
messenger to keep the telegram until
next pay day, which would be in two
weeks. The message boy said he would
pay 1t and the man to pay him in two
weeks. The man took the message,
stuck it into his pocket without open
ing it and went about his work. II Is
perhaps the first telegram the fellow
ever received, but he was unconccrned
about the contents.

Has Been Ordained.

Rev. Paul William Metzenthin, the
young minister who supplied the
Lutheran pulpit at this place during a
three months vacation last year and on
several occasions since then, is now the
regular pastor of the Reynoldsville

Grove and Emerickville Lutheran
churches. Rev. Metzenthin graduated
from the Berlin University, Germany,
in 1892, and on the 4th day of June,
1895, graduated from the Lutheran
Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.
He was ordained minister OF the gos-
pei on the 10th inst. He preached his

tion at this place last Sunday as their
regular pastor and an ordained minister.

While preparations are being made
Tor celebrating the Glorious Fourth In
licynoldsvillc in an up-to-datc.stylc,
there Is one very important thing that
should not be overlooked, in fact IL is
something the town needs badly all the
time, and that is some place where pco.
pie can slaltc their thirst. A public
place on Main street should be provided
for the accommodation Of people who
come To town. On special occasions
when women bring their small children
to town they have trouble in finding
places to get drink Of water. Reyn-
oldsvillc has the best water works of
any town in this section and the town
should, by all means, have n public
fountain or hydrant. II is possible the
Water Co. would furnish the water FREQ
II the town or citizens would put in the
hydrant, or what ever Is decided upon.
We hope to see steps taken In this
direction before the ith of July.

Colered Vote independently

A prominent colored man said yester-
day to a Register reporter: when the
returns are all in it will be found that
some Of the Republican candidates who
are counting upon receiving the colored
vote practically solid will be dissp-
pointed. There are some considerations
which are more important In city
election than the gratitude which they
say we owe to the Republican party.
One OF these is good government. The
colorsd men can no longer be voted
blindly for any candidate whose name
appears on the Republican ticket On
national issues l am Republican. but
In municipal elections | am for good
government, which means that / an in
dependent
THE Republican bosses scoff at the
idea that they will lose any of the COL
ored voters. yet il they told the whole
truth, they would express alarm at the
independent movement, which is gain
ing strength every day. There are any
number OF intelligent and Influential
colored men. who have said openly
that they will exercise their judgment
on election day. independent OF party
bias, especially in voting for Chief of
Police and Councilmen. Watch the re-
turns from the Second Ward, they will
surprise you.

With a view to helping along q pleas
ant situation. a quiet sort Of hint will
be here dropped TO people who expect
to get on Republican police force
that there is not the least
prospect that the force will
be increased to one hundred and sew
enty-ivs or two hundred men anyways
soon, but that it will likely remain at
It's present strength for the next two
years, at least. This little pointer may
result in some more tears and heart
burnings and protestatiens, but people
may as find out just how the land lies,

eighteen months ago He left his wife

Joseph was net sending any money TO

Tho candidacy of City Clerk Thomas
N. Thoner has also received the COM
mendation and endorsement of scores
of voters who ordinarily deposit Repub-
lican ballots. and his triumphant re-
election is predicted by close observers
Of the local political situation. 1t is a
most satisfactory sign Of the times that
partisauship is being eliminated from
city affairs in favor OF continuance In
office of tried and tested officials filling
positions OF the highest trust and re-
sponsibility. The movement is one
which should be fostered and
encouraged by all good citizens.
Bv the way, one weak inven-
tiou OF the opposition to Clerk Thoner
is a story that he does not desire the
Office and that he is making no very
great effort TO secure it. This is out Of
whole cloth. Mr.. Thoner is DESTROYS of

THE CITY CAMP Align.
TIE SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF RETAINING
GOOD MEN
In Responsible Positions Steadily Growing-The
Republicans Not Quite as Sure Of Council as
They Wsrs-Broksn Promises and
the Inevitable Result

Interest in the coming city election
has grown remarkably during the past
four days, and it has become leading
TOPIC Of conversation among politicians
and citizens taking more than ordinary
interest in public affairs, in all parts OF
the city. This growth Of interest is
shown by the frequent and inevitable
propositions to bet money on one or
the other of the rival candidates
on the city tickets by the
active partisans Of the aspirants,
and while much Of this talk has been
wind" pure and simple, still quite a
lot of cash, some Of 1t in large bets, has
actually been put up. The City Ser
geancy is naturally the favorite object
of this sort of contention, and the ac-
tive friends OF Chief McNichol have
taken all the good things" in sight
and are looking for more. Quite q lot
of this McNichol money has been put up
by Republicans, which is straw indi-
cativs of how the wind is blowing.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1895-01-19

AS matter OF fact, Republicans all
over the city are taking an active inter.
est and part In Chief McNichol's candi-
dacy for reelection. This is but nat
ural, however, for the best citizens
everywhere recognize in the Chief the
best head of the police department the
city has ever had. They have an
abundance of material at hand by which
to make comparison, both the Demo
cratic and Republican aspirants
having record in the office
extending over several years,
and the indications OF public
preference, unintluenced by partisan
political considerations, coming to hand
every day, is both flattering and just TO
the present incumbent Of the office.
Business men particularly are extend
ing to Capt. McNichol assurances of thar
admiration and support, and the best
citizens generally are falling into line In
favor OF a continuation Of good govern
ment in this particular.
