THE COMM WOMAN.
I've heerd so much of talk and such
About the comm woman,
That | long ter see how mought she be
And if she's really human.
I read the jokes ter the wimmin folks
And show the funny iigger
That looks unreal on her ridin' wheel
In the way the papers rig her.
Her sleeves look just like sails in n gust
or a schooner half seas over;
She could skim ahead, with those wings
outspread,
OF any prairie rover
But what allow that seems just now
A-trvin' hard to doom her
In the eyes of those who hate sucf
clothes,
Must be the foot ball bloomer.
So we laugh each night by the dim lamp
AS / read the daily papers.
Bout the wimmin new and their bloomer:
In ali their funny capers.

Special Correspondence Of the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, July 13.-The
action of the County Court yesterday in
granting license to the three hotels and
shutting all the other applicants out
was the chief topic of conversation on
the streets to-day. Each side has its
friends and while one party would be
CONCENTRATING each other the other
crowd would be roundly denouncing the
action of the court James Dolan, pro-
prietor of the Arlington Hotel, was run
ming two places, and as soon as he was
informed that the court had granted
him license for the hotel, he immedi-
ately shut the other place up and 1t Will
remain closed. The saloons that were
turned down by the court are all wide
open to-day and the proprietors an
nounce their intention of keeping open
until they are compelled to close.
The mayor and city sergeant have
made out the warrants for those who
have bee selling the past month
and yesterday the three hotel men were
arrested and taken before the mayor
who fined them 500 and costs, amount
ing all to $1,000. 1t is reported one Of
them demurred and did not want to pay
the fine. but when the mayor threatened
to lock him up he paid the fine. Alto
gether there were four fines paid, the
aggregate amount of which was S4lO.4O.
The case as it now stands is entirely
unsatisfactory to not only the city OH
eials but also to the majority OF the res
idents. and one of the attorneys who
figured in the case said to-day that the
matter would be taken before the Cir
cult Court and that he was confident the
action of the lower court would be re-
versed.
On Thursday night number Of
young men of the city met at the home
of one of the number and organized a
guitar and mandolin club. The club is
composed of some of the most popular
Young men of the city, and when they
have become proficient on their instru-
ments there is no doubt that the club
will be one of the most popular in this
part of the State. Lucien Meyer, OF
Wheeling. has been engaged as instruc-
tor of the club. The names OF those
who were present at the organization
and who are now members of the club
are Samuel McCool, J. ]. Slippner Will

IT'S GETTING LIVELY.
The War Between the Butchers and
Provision Men on in Earnest.
The Centre Market was the Scene
Of a Great Slaughter in Prices,
Last Evening - Beef Down to
Seven Cents a Pound, and Other
Meats at Proportionate.

The meat war" is getting lively, and
has become decidedly interesting.
The scene Of active hostilities was
at the Fifth ward market house, last
evening, and so warm was the COMPETE
ton between the butchers on the one
side and the wholesale provision men
on the other that prices were cut way
below cost, to the corresponding benefit
OF the people, who went in for the raw
material for big Sunday dinners with
much enthusiasm.
Ienderloin steak sold about the usual
price of boiling beef, rib roasts could
be had for eight to ten cents, chuck
roasts for five and six cents. and other
meats in proportion. As a result peo-
pie who went to buy chuck meat came
away with rib roasts, and many a tabli
VIII groan to-day under the unwonted
pro1uslon. When Mr.. Farrell made niI
stand IN Council for cheaper meat. he
certainly never imagined any such re-
suit as that OF last night would follow in
the wake of his determined fight but
through a series of compilations. in
tense rlyalries, jealousies, etc. the orig
mai move for cheaper meat has brought
about state of affairs eminentlv salts
factory to the meat consumers of the
city, and many poor man will sincere
~ hope, as he dimes off tenderloins ana
rib roasts to-day that the trouble exist
ing may be prolonged Indefinitely.
A day or two ago the Register an
nounced that some of the wholesale
butchers and some out-of-town dealers
would take stalls in the city markets.
and dispense beef and other meats for
much smaller consideration than that
usually ruling here. In accordance
with this, Manager Southern. of the
Swift Beef Company, negotiated for
and obtained stalls No. 8, in the Second
ward market, and No SO in Centre
market, and this done, ne circulated
hand-billS all over the city Yesterday
morning notifying consumers of meat
mat the war was on in earnest. The
circular said:
The Butchers Association has de-
manded that the wholesalers of Wheel
ing stop selling meat to the retail gro
GERS, or the butchers would stop buy
ing from the wholesalers. This demand
has been refused, and the butchers
have stopped buying from the whole
salers. Realizing that this would incon-
yenience the general public the Swift
Company has entered the local markets
TO sell at retail prices"
Another hand bill gave a list of
prices, as follows:
