WHERE WERE THE POLICE?

wood Hospital,
Terrorizing the Ladies, Who Were
Alone in the Building-A Few
Fines Would Have a Good Effect.
Other News From Our Southern
Neighbor.

Benwood is furnishing considerable
excitement the last few days.
Owing to inadequate police protec-
ton some of the disorderly element
have had things much their own way,
Thursday morning about two o'clock
several men surrounded the Emer-
gency hospital, and raised an unearth-
ly disturbance that speedily aroused the
inmates. There was no person within
except the matron and young lady
friend. The physician who sleeps in
the building was away that night and
the two women were alone. The
rogues outside probably knew this, for
they were very bold in their demands
for admission. They kept pounding at
the doors and finally one of the ladies
found courage enough to enquire what
was wanted. They informed her that
they wanted in. Being asked why they
wanted in, they replied for fun. Not
being admitted they renewed their de-
mands. The matrOn ran into one Of
the rooms to get a revolver but found
it gone. While in the back part of the
house she heard a racket at the back
door. Terrified, the woman raised the
windows and called loudly for the po-
lice. An officer finally hove in sight
and put the gang under arrest. The
parties at the hospital the next day
decided for satisfactory reasons not
to appear against them, and the men
were accordingly released from custo-

IN THE THEATRES.

Of a recent exhibition of Edison's
wonderful Vitascope, which will be
seen at the Opera House the first half
of next week, the New York Recorder
says: Among the exhibitions given
were the Leigh Sisters in their UNI
brella dance: a soldiers march, from
The Milk White Flag" skirt dan
Ger, with the beautiful colors, light and
shade; an animated argument over the
Monroe Doctrine between Uncle Sam
and John Bull an amusing prize fight,
and a section of the Jersey coast in
heavy storm. The breakers in the lat
ter scene were so natural that every
body felt like running away when they
came dashing toward the front of the
stage, seemingly mountain high. Every
scene was an exact reproduction in
color. size and action, and message
Of congratulation was sent to Mr.. Edi-
son. The audience was delighted, and
no feature of the attractive programme
was greeted more warmly. The Vitas-
cope will be shown every evening and
on Saturday, and tonight fine scene
will be shown. 1t is said to be the
most realistic effect Mr.. Edison has
obtained"

MANIPULATION.
Manifested in the Course of
the Wheat Market This
Week.
The Price Falls From 60
Cents to 55-POlitiCS
Involved.

The republicans are making a
great deal Of noise about the re-
cent rise in wheat unaccompanied
by an equal rise in silver. But
the political bubble has already
shown signs of bursting, and
wheat today dropped 2 cents with
expectation of further decline.
England could well afford to pur-
chase wheat at 81 bushel for the
next two weeks, if thereby they
could delude the people Of this
country into electing Mckinley,
thus enabling her to buy
our wheat for the next four
years at so cents or less. England
will look after her own interests,
but if if we leave it to her to look
after our own, we will have nobody
but ourselves to blame if hard
times continue.
