May 21.--(Special Corre- 1spondence.) e.)-Ahhough our town will not get the Barnum-Bafley show, we had .tthe greatest show on earth" on our streets last Tuesday, and it was free to all. This was sale of Texas ponies, and they proved to be the ivelesg ponies ito be found in many days journey. As they were sold they were lassoed and a rope halter put on them, the other end of tfie rope given to the owner. the gate
 opened and away they went the men clinging frantically to the rope and be- ing whipped about like the Gail of a kite.
 The streets got so blocked with this
 strange crowd that the sores had to close and business was suspended nearly all the afternoon. Several of the horses were hurt, one breaking his lsg and an- other breaking his neck before they could be taken a block. It Is a fortunate thing tifat some human life was not sacrificed
 for it was really a most dangerous thing to allow them on the streets, particular lythe main streets. Ut is safe to say that our city fathers will not permit it again.

Barnum & Baileys stupendous menag- erie and grand aggregation of living woridsrs, magnificent hippodrome of the worlds most famous arenic artists and conglomeration of the greatest wonders of ancient and modern times, gave two excellerS performances yesterday to packed audiences. As a circus, Barnum 6 Bafley's gives value received for their charge of admission. This mus: be ad- mitted.

Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock
was the time set for the hearing OF
the forgery case of James B. Campbell
and at that time the prosecuting wit
nesses, lawyers and Squire Fltzpat-
rick were at the county Jail ready for
the case to proceed. The hearing was
dispensed with, for Campbell, acting on
the advice of his attorney, waived eX-
animation and he was held for the
grand jury. In default of $500 bail
Campbell was recommitted to Jail, but
his attorney, w. S. Arnett, says that
he will be able to give bond in a few
days
Peculiarly, and by coincidence, two
domestic cases, in which husbands had
their wives arrested for adultery, came
up before Squire Fitzpatrick yester-
day. 1t was remarkable that both
cases were dismissed, because when the
hour for trial arrived, the husband in
each case did not appear to prosecute.
At nine O'Clock yesterday morning was
the time set for the hearing of Mrs. G.
w. Ransom, who had been arrested on
a warrant sworn out by her husband,
charging her with living in adultery
with an insurance man by the name
of Gutenberg. Ransom did not show
up, it being claimed that he had left
the city The case was consequently
dismissed The defense made the
statement that since Mrs. Ransom had
been arrested that her husband had
gone to Gutenberg and proposed to
drop the case in consideration Of a
certain amount of money. Mrs.
Ransom claims that her husband de-
serted her, and after she had started
out to earn her own livelihood by can
vassing, that he has followed her up
and tried repeatedly. to blackmail her.
The second adultery case was a
charge against Mrs. Ida Smell, pre-
ferred against her, likewise, by her hus-
band. Frank Smell, a former resident
of Wheeling, but who claims to be
working now at the West Penn Hospi-
tai in Pittsburg. Smell and his wife
parted, she alleging that he did not pro-
vide for her and deserted her, while
he says that she left his bed and board
and departed to take up illicit relations
with other parties. Smell came to
Wheeling and found his wife at q
boarding house at No. 1864 Market
street. He says that he went there tbs
other night and knocked on the door
for admission. The door was opened
and he claims he saw a man disappear
out the rear entrance. He ran out OF
the house and called for an officer tc
arrest his wife. Her case was set fol
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, but
Smell, too, was not on hand. Squire
Fitzpatrick waited until 4 o'clock, but
he did not arrive at that hour and the
case was dismissed, like the first. to the
disappointment of the crowd of jus
tice shop loungers who had congregated
for some time previous in anticipation
Of hearing something spicy.

THE SEARCH FOR HEALTH

1t is not human nature to be con-
tented with our lot in life We are all
striving to gain something we lack. but
the hardest, and seemingly most help
less. quest is the search for health by
those who are either weak constitu-
tlonally or have become run down.
The ordinary practitioner doesn't seem
to solve the problem of a rundown
physical condition. If the patient is
wealthy he sends him on a voyage for
his health; if poor, he gives him a
tonic but the great wellspring of
health remains untouched, and small
benefit results.
There are remedies for such troubles
remedies potent, safe and permanent.
DR.. Greene, of So West 14th Street,
New York City, famous as the dis
coverer of Nervura, has found remedies
for all diseases of the nerves, blood,
and body and you may consult him
either in person or by letter free of
all cost. This certainly is a great
privilege to those who have searched
everywhere for health, and have about
given up hope. Dr. Greene's peerless
success in treating the ills of mankind
have given him an enviable place in
the hearts of our people. If you are i'll
write to him at once.

THE NEW RIVER MARKS.
The Board of Public Works Has Men a
Work-Narks Carried to Zero

The Board of Public Works Has Men at
WOrk-Narks Carried to Zero.
Yesterday morning the Board of
Public Works put a force of men to
work setting new stones at the lower
end of the river marks at the wharf, so
as to carry the scale down to zero, it
having previously stopped at the two
foot mark. AS a result every thing
below two feet was guess work. The
City Engineer made a new survey
yesterday, which showed six and two
third inches of water in the channel,
while the stick mark set by spirit lev
Ell from the inaccurate wharf marks.
showed eleven inches. The work of
setting the new stones will be COM
pleted to-day and then it will be pos
sible to tell just how much water
there really is in the river during this
period of drouth. The river was a frac-
ton of an inch higher yesterday than
it was on Saturday, when there was a
little less than six inches.
While setting the big stones yester-
day, the wOrkmen encountered bed
rock, probably the same ledge which
crops out at the rifle at the old city
pumping station at the foot of Eighth
street and they had a good deal of
trouble setting the stones properly.
The next thing the Board should do
should be to have TIL accumulation of
sand and steamboat ashes outside the
new marks shoveled away so as to per-
nit the open water of the river 70 come
up to the marks. This ought to be
done to-day
