A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Can any man, woman or child make
a better paying or safer investment than
to take stock in the Union Building
Association No. 2, which starts to-mor-
row evening. This is home company
with all the modern Improvements, and
is managed by the same gentlemen who
were at the head of the Union which
maid its stockholders at the rate OF ten
per cent per annum. Let the wage
worker figure out what he pays tor
rent during his lifetime, what he
wastes on trifles and luXuries that he
could do without, and then go to the
meeting on Monday evening. Twenty
five cents a week will carry a share.
This association will occupy room 4,
Exchange Bank Building, corner Main
and Twelfth streets.

The latter part Of the evening was
taken up with very interesting
operetta. THE Fisher Maiden" most
interestingly staged. The instrument
tai part fell again to Miss Houser and
the orchestra. The chorus work was
unusually fine, and the solo parts
taken by Mrs. Palmer, Miss Sue Cald-
well. Miss Theresa Phillips, Miss
Alice Egerter, Mrs. f. B. Ryan, Miss
Harvey Miss Metzner, Miss Maurer
and Miss Florence Phillips were all
above the average work done by the
light opera singers brought here and
listened to with delight Miss Theresa
Phillips appeared to splendid advan-
tage. Mrs. Palmer was excellent all
through, and Miss Sue Caldwell made
a decided hit individually, while the
club made just such hit, as an ag-
gregation, and the triumph of this
final concert makes the anticipation of
the third season, which will be begun
next September, pleasureable.

The next number on the programme
concluded the first part. 1t was al
lotted to Mrs. Nellie Warren Holloway
to perform the first Beethoven con-
certo, with full orchestral accompani-
ment, and most worthily was the honor
bestowed. Mrs. Holloway's work that
evening was worthy one not styled
amateur" and proved conclusiyely
that Wheeling has a concert piano So
loist as well as the vocal tribute to such
a programme.

THE Spinning Chorus" from the
Flying Dutchman, was sung by the
Choral Club, accompanied by Miss
Isabel Houser at the piano, and the
Opera House orchestra, assisted by
Prof Hermann Schockey and Prof.
Edward Blumenberg, all under the di-
rection of Mrs. Flora Williams. This
number proved the progress made
along that particular line of the organ
ization's work and reflected the great
est credit upon Mrs. Williams.

The past week there were four con-

the largest audience ever assembled

concert of the week. however. was
that given in the Opera House on Fri

season. For the past two years the
onward progress of music in Wheel

greatest element of success was the

LOVES SWEET REWARD.

I care not for the thorny way,
Though skies bend black above me;
The dark sings sweetly to the day,
'eYou love me, dear-you love mel"
The winter blossoms as the May,
And sweetest birds are singing;
The storm has still the rainbow's ray,
And all life's bells are ringing.
And bright the night, and dear the day,
With stars or storms above me,
While life shall sing, and death shall
say,
"You love me, dear-you love mel"

A WISCONSIN MAN MISSING.

Chicago, Nov 20.-James McClos-

to Chicago three weeks ago and was
visiting at the home of Conner. When
he disappeared he had 5000 in his pos

ern Wisconsin, having assisted in
building several railroads in that sec
ton.
