Sam Morgan, colored cook at the
Waverly hotel, had some trouble with
an oil man yesterday at Waverly. He
went into the hotel, procured gun and
returned to the street, but the oil man
had disappeared and thereby deprived
Sambo OF the pleasure OF splitting some
white blood. To make the bluff good
and strong, Morgan walked around.
lourishing his revolver In n very pro-
mlscuous manner and making remarks
about white trash" which he punctu-
ated with shots from his pistol. All of
this aroused the ire of Ed. Killings
worth. Parkersburger, who Is mix
er of drinks at the Florence hotel.
killinGsworth went over to the Flor
ence and got a gun, too. a thirty-elght
calibre. Then he walked back to where
Morgan stood. and emptied the cham,
bers Of his revolver at him. The dusky-
hued Morgan was astonished at the
fusiladc of bullets which whistled by
him. but recovered in time to return
kNlingsworth's leaden compliments.
Bullets rent the air for several Sec
onds. Nobody was hurt, although the
bystanders' lives were for while en-
dangered.
It was an exciting duel and both
men distinguished themselves as bad
shots. There were threats OF lynching
and Morgan left the town.

There Is comment on tho high price
paid by Mr.. VANDERBILT In hls purchase
OF duke for his daughter. The price Is
given out MS rsl5.ooo,OoO. 100000 OF
which the duke got cash In hand for him
self absolutely, the remainder going into
the family Golfers.
All these things are relative. The
amount would be very large for some
persons. For Mr.. Vanderbilt It is a
mere drop in the bucket. it Is as though
n man who has to work for a living were
to give his daughter n new gown.
II must be remembered also that while
the daughter gotta duke for a husband
the father got duke for son-in-law.
IL the daughter may speak OF my hus-
band, the duke" the father may speak
OF my son-ln-law. the duke" The
qualification Is almost equal.
Probably Mr.. Vanderbilt looks on those
millions as representing as good an in
vestment as he ever made. The invest
ment lifts his family out OF the mere
money-getters Of the world and plants 1t
firmly on the coveted level OF nobility.
An alliance with one ot the great his
toric houses of Great Britain is some
thing that very few Amerlcn Million
aires would sneeze ut.

nobility somewhat run down at the heel

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in oil its stages, and
that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure known to the med
ical fraternity. Catarrh being consti-
tutional disease, requires a constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
taken internally. acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tlent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they

WHEELING, DECEMBER i, 1906.


1t Is an Interesting coincidence that
breaks In the natural gas line and cold
weather come together. 1t Is another
Interesting coincidence that no matter
how short the gas supply may be the
bills for the month are not lower. In
any other business short supply would
mean short receipts.
The popularity OF the gas business
may lie In this. that when the supply Of
gas Is short The pump Is worked more
vigorously. and the meter registers the
flow of air just as 1t does the flow Of gas;
and the price for air is the same as the
price for gas. Consumers complain Of
this popularity, but there Is nothing for
them to do but to submit or use coal in
stead of gas.
We are just at the beginning OF winter
weather, and yesterday was day of
short gas supply and considerable dis
comfort. Probably there is no way u
prevent the coincidence of cold weather
and breaks In the line. but there should
be way TO trace the shortage in the
bills.
The average consumer does not enjoy
being made uncomfortable when he
knows that he will have to pay as much
for that as for condition of comfort.
The gas company would do well to think
on these things. The people of Wheeling
are turning them over in great earnest
ness.

Ohio River Survey.

a good start has been made on the sur
vey OF the Ohio river. as will be seen.by 4
descriptive article In another column.
This survey Is preliminary to locating
the locks and, dams contemplated by the
river improvement movement
The engineers recommend locks and
dams from Pittsburgh to Marietta, or
whereabouts, and In order TO get at the
matter with scientific eNactness urged
that Congress authorize a survey. This
was done at the recent session of Con-
gress, one of the Immediate results OF the
visit Of inspection made by the house
committee on rivers and harbors.
The whole prospect for river improve
ment Is highly encouraging. The start
has been made and will be followed up
until the Ohio and Its tributaries shall
be made the useful highway that science
can make 1t and that commerce demands
shall be made.

T. Dewitt Talmase has never posed as
a great exigetical scholar, being by ma
ture a man moved more by the spirit
than the letter, but as matter of course,
his long experience in the pulpit has
given him wide knowledge OF the scrip
lures and a capacity for quotations and
application which commands the admi-
ration and respect OF thousands. Az an
orator Talmagc holds n high position in
spite of. or perhaps because of, his &C.
centrlcities Of voice and gesture. Pos
sessing a power Of dramatic statement
uneQualed by any clergyman OF the pres
ent day and enforcing his startling pro-
positions with that action which Demos
themes characterized as the sum of all
eloQucnce, this great preacher never
fails to stir the minds and hearts Of his
hearers.
AS boy Talmage did not show mark
ed evidence OF Il theological turn OF
mind. 1t Is related that on one occasion
he attended church with his parents and
manifested such restlessness and mat
tcntion that they had grave doubts of
his having received any benefit from the
ponderous and learned discourse OF the
fashioned parson. The preacher
spoke on the words: IAN angel came
down from heaven and took live coal
from the altar" Reaching home the
parents questioned their son.
Ibid you hear the sermon?"
YES"
ibid you understand IT."
ooh, yes"
"Can you repeat the text?~
"Of course"
Let US hear you"
Young Talmage triumphan.ly quoted:
IAN Injun came down from New Haven
and pulled a live colt from the halter" :,
This lie removed all doubts rs to
whether he had paid attention to the ser.
mon or not.

4 story or Good Busine,s.

a story that seems to be true comes
from Washington. 1t points moral.
The wife of the President stopped her
carriage in front of a dry goods store
and sent her maid in to make some pur-
chases. The maid found what was de-
sired and asked to have the goods
charged to the President.
The rule of the establishment Is that
no goods can be taken out until they
nave been paid before. and no exception
has ever been made to this rule. The
clerk called one of theemployers, who
appreciated the situation. but sent his
compliments to Mrs. Cleveland and ex-
pressed his great reSrc. that the rule of
his establishment did not permit COM
pliance with her request.
There was no fear that the President
would not pay promptly. There was
simply a courageous and business-like
unwillingness TO break the rule which
lies at the foundtlon of that firms trans
actions.
It took nerve and cool head to do
the thing, but we think the President Is
Just the kind of man to take 1t in good
part and to respect the business qualities
of men capable of holding fast to good
rule.
A small man would want TO blow up
somebody by way OF "wiping out the
affront;" but big man would enjoy the
joke.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inAamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inHamed you
have rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol

The Atlanta Exposition closed
Tuesday night. Several of the build.
ings have been donated to Piedmont
Park and the others will be torn
down. The cost to the city of Allan
ia, after all debts have been paid,
will be about 100000. This result
is very satisfactory. 1t is estimated
that the benefits to Atlanta will APP
proximate S5,OOO,OOO. The Exposi-
ton has been a success and has
helped the entire South. Nashville
is expected to follow up the good
work Of advertising the Southern
States, by having similar exposition
next fall.
