SECOND WEEK OF OPERA
Opens at the Wheeling Park Casino
With Bohemian Girl"
1t Promises to Draw Large Au-
dience -" pirates Of Pensance"
and "Mikado" to be Sung Also
This Week-Treat for Lovers Of
Music.

The second week Of the summer opera
season will open at the Wheeling Park
Casino this evening with Balfe's "Bohe-
milan Girl" Tie opera was given with
marked success on Tuesday evening and
will doubtless score another big hit, as
it did then. The cast will be the same
as on Friday, with Miss Knox as Ar
line" Miss De Rue as Gypsy Queen,
Mr.. Gailliard as Count Arnheim," Mr.
Branson as "Thaddeus," and Mr.. Bell
as "Devilshoof" The merit of the piece
is too we'll known to be eXpiated upon
here, and lovers Of good music can be
assured of most finished Interpretation
of it in the hands of the Lyric opera
Company. Tomorrow evening anu
Wednesday matinee THE Pirates OF
Penzance" will be given. This is one
5fGilbert & Suilivan's brightest and most
tuneful operas. 1t abOunds in catchy
music, pretty choruses, and lovely cos
tuning. and the Lyric Company can be
relied upon 10 do ii most ample justice.
The opera has not been seen here since
local talent gave it year or two ago,
and it is deservedly popular. On Thurs
day evening Bohemian Girl will be re-
peated and on Friday and Saturday with
Saturday matinee "Mikado" will be the
bill. This clever satire on the Yankees
Of the East has not been sung here for
a long time and should prove the draw
ing card of the week. 1t will be pro-
duced with all the wealth Of grotesque
costuming as in other days and "Ko

at 7:30, and runs into the grounds, and
later ones run as usual. Leaving the
Park, motors run at lilo and midnight,
and arrangements have been made for
the running of street cars to suburban

NITRO GLYCERINE
Causing Considerable Uaeasiness to the
People OF Williamstown.


People OF Williamstown.
Special to the Register.
WilliamstOwn, w. Va, July 19.-Peo-
pie here are kept in a state of uneasinesS
all the time s.nce the discovery of the
smuggling of ni,ro-glycer.ne into and
through this place has become generally
known. The opening of the oil fields
about the city has made it necessary TO
in some manner get the deadly eXpIO-
sive 10 the wells, and various methods
are Iresorted to. Capt. John Rider who
has conducted the ferry between this
city and Marietta has made several mar
row escapes during his long service on
the ferry, and is very careful Of late
as to what sort of packages he ham
dies. Last week the Captain had on a
trip wagon of the ordinary spring
pattern, and which he supposed con-
tanned produce. Before leaving Mari
eta where the wagon was driven onto
the boat, Capt. Rider had occasion TO
make room for another vehicle, and be-
ing a large man. in his usual custom,
took hold Of the rear end of the wagon
and raising it up off of the floor threw
it heavily to one side of the boat. The
driver was very much frightened and
leaping from his seat told John 10
handle his load carefully as he had sew
eral crates of eggs IN the wagon. This
raised the ferryman's suspicious and
he investigated and found the wagon
contained several hundred quarts of nj
tro-glycer!ne and was covered over with
a tarpolian N the same manner as the
big cargo of the same stuff that let go
in Parkersburg over year ago, and
was very hot from the effects Of the
sun which beamed down upon the tar
polean.
The stuff is smugg,ed through here
in every conceivable manner, and the
latest sensation was caused by man
named Ellison bringing several quarts
of the stuff IN an ordinary yalise over
the Ohio River Railroad from Parkers-
burg TO his home here. Ellison placed
the valise under his bed and the next
day took it 10 points On the upper end
of the railroad.

setting type and assisted in getting out
the issue, and the union me- promptly
and declared them rats. The proprie-
tors have telsgraphed to various points
for help. but none has arrived. The
trouble was caused by the failure Of the
proprietors to pay their men. 1t is said
that the paper IS in a bad way financial
~, and that it has been months since
the proprietors were able to pay up their
men fully.

SENSITIVE MAGNETIC NEEDLES.

While investigating the action of electric
railways on magnetic mine surveying in
e;ruments it was discovered that the min
ers' safety lamps carried by the party, ow-
Ing to the heat acting on the metal of which
they were composed, set up in them Their
mo-e!ectric currents, which also had an
appreciable effect on the sensitive needles.
The only way by which it is possible 10
secure accurate readings under such cir
