parish has had comparative res.
pite from this element for some
little time, but The present increase
oferime is a warning Of what may
he expected if it be allowed to
continue. And it belooves all

West Feliciana has alreadypassed

: And while We neither recommend,

we would remind her, people that
it is wiser to remove the first faint

MASHED HIS FOOT.

Yesterday evening about 80 o'clock
as Andrew Miller, who is employed at
the Wheeling steel plant at Benwood,
was working under a scaffold which
supported a large mass Of pig metal,
the structure suddenly gave way, the
metal, which weighed about sixty
pounds, falling on Mr.. Miller's left foot
and MASKING it badly. The unfortun-
ate man was taken to the Emergency
Hospital, where he was attended by
DR.. Eskey, who thought that the in
jury might necessitate amputation of
the member Mr.. Miller was later re-
moved to his home on Water street.

The superiority of Brooke and his
famous Chicago Marine Band is &C
knowledged everywhere by the press
and musical authorities. When the
music loving people of Wheeling de-
termined to secure the great musical
attraction of the season they naturally
desired to get the best possible, and
after carefully considering the matter
decided to engage Brooke and his just
ly famous band to give two concerts,
at Siebert's Garden, next Sunday af-
ternoon and night. This band has
travelled from its home in Chicago
through the South and East on a tri-
umphal march, and everywhere they
have met with the most enthusiastic
reception. The band is the popular
band of the country from the fact that
it plays the music the people want.
This band numbers sixty musicians
and includes the great and only Levy,
who will appear at both concerts
Four vocal soloists also accompany
the band. among whom is Miss Sibyl
Sammis, the remarkable prima donna
soprano. The afternoon concert will
begin at 2:30 o'clock and at night at
s O'Clock. The programmes will be
entirely different and those attending
in the afternoon may remain for the
night concert without. extra charge
The admission is only % cents. Re-
served seats at Houses music store.

The coal miners in Belmont county
Ohio, are practically all at work, and
getting out all the coal possible. The
mines at the Aetna-Standard have
been worked for several days to get
fuel for the Mingo plant of this COM
pany, but they were closed yesterday
on account of the settlement of the
trouble at Yorkville. The Mingo plant
will be supplied with coal from York
vile, as heretofore.
The trougle at the Yorkville mines
was settled Wednesday. The cause
was in reality the refusal of the oper-
ators to recognize the miners union.
When the mines were reopened many
of the old men found that their places
were filled by foreigners, and they re-
belled. President Farms, Of the U. M.
w. of A., of the Ohio district, was in
Portland Wednesday. The operators
consented to take all their former en-
ployes back and places were found for
the new men by working larger num-
Der of hands than heretofore.
Mere is now prosperous local I'M
ion Of the miners at Portland, condi-
ton of affairs which has not existed
for three years. The Trades Assembly
some time ago sent a committee up to
Portland to organize the men, but the
movement was not successful. Presi-
dent VIM. E. Farms was in the city
last night and departed for Sunday
Creek, where he will attend conven-
ton on Saturday, which has been call
ed for the purpose of adjusting a diff
ference between the operators and men
there.
A meeting of the miners at the
Laughlin mill bank was held Wednes-
day night, at which an organization
was effected through the efforts of Sec
rotary Lewis and other officials Of the
U. M. w. of A.
There is a difficulty at Dillonvale
which will probably be settled within
a few days. The men selected one OF
their number for checkweighman at the
mines, according to the statement OF
Secretary Lewis, who also stated that
this is in conformity with the Ohio
statutes bearing on the matter. The
man who was selected was not salts
factory to the operators and they re-
fused to permit him to do the work
Secretary Lewis left last night fol
Cleveland to nave conference with
officials of the c., l.. & W. road con-
corning the matter. 1t will probably
be arranged to the satisfaction of all
parties interested.

A Deyoted ROYAL Couple.


The devotion of the venerable king
and queen of Denmark is described
as positively touching. During the
time of the Queens Illness, which last
ed something like three months, no one
about the court was allowed to see her
save her husband, a lady. In waiting
and the physician in ordinary. The
King was ceaseless in his devotion.
He rarely went out, save when duty
compelled him, abandoned his custom
ary exercise, and passed hours every
day reading to his wife or playing
cards and chess with her, and telling
her what was going on in the world
outside. The long abstention from bis
walks and rides, his constant attend
ance upon the invalid-who, happily,
recovered in springfield rather heav-
lily on the King, and In turn affected
his health.
The Queen seldom appears In public.
Ceremonies to her. as to the Princess
Of Wales, have always been ceremonies
from which she preferred to escape
unless duty absolutely called her. OF
q bright and most youthful disposition,
she likes to have gay and happy folk
about her.
Il can't bear to see long faces neaI
me-" she will declare.
OF their numerous grandchildren
both King and Queen are immensely
fond, and are seen walking about with
them hand in hand at Copenhagen.
