discovered that the diamond ring was
gone. She accused the servant OF having
taken it, but this Addie strenuously
denied.
The police believe that the girl had two
accom- plices, as the people living near the
Maxs often observed her talking to two
young men who came up the back stairs
from Locust avenue.
Addie Meyer is an old offender, as she
has been in the tolls more than once. She

Coroner, jury and reporters. The letter
was signed Florence l.. HolyweI," and
was from the deceased's sister at Red

calculated to cheer up the absent one,
whose gloomy nature seemed to be well
known to all the members OF her
family.
The package contained piece of cake,
with slip OF paper on which was written,
"Florence's birthday cake" There was

Gil Harmonizing Their Differences.

At the regular meeting of the Mar
tins Ferry Council last evening, a let
ter from B. w. Peterson and w. b.
Stone, directors of the Wheeling street
railway, was read. 1t stated that the
efforts of the two directors as individ-
uals toward harmonizing the difference
between the town and the street car
company had been approved at meet
ing of :ne Board Of Directors, and that
tney had been appointed committee
by the Board to effect a compromise
of the differences with the city. The
letter also stated that they had receiv-
ed the consent of property owners
along the possible route for the extern
sion of the track as contemplated in
the old Sweeney ordinance. Council
appointed Messrs Kerr, Kaiser, Far
nell, Riley, Hopkins and the City So
licitor as a conference committee. It
seems settled that the street car COM
pany will be permitted to extend its
track through to the upper part of
Martins Ferry as contemplated.

A BOLD STROKE IN ADVERTISING.

A stroke that will prove what can be
done in the lines OF legitimate and
judicious advertising. Every merchant
in Wheeling is aware of the fact that
honest advertising increases business,
if they go about it in the right way.
Being aware of this fact, the enterpris-
ing firm Of House & Hermann, the
Home Furnishers, have boldly come to
the front in to-day's issue of the Reg
lister with a handsomely displayed four
page advertisement of holiday offer
ings that far surpasses all previous
efforts made by this enterprising firm.
Their buyers have returned; all plans
are consummated: final orders have
been executed; the last of the brightest
novelties have arrived, are in their
places, and they are ready for Christ
mas buying to begin.
1t is carefully prepared stock.
They do not come into market with a
drag net, bringing way whatever its
indiscriminate meshes may envelop.
But each selection is guardedly
weighed in the scales of worth and APP
propriateness.
THE REPUTATION OF THE BIG
STORE IS AT STAKE.
They are faithful to that confidence
that is so implicitly put in their judg-
ment. The store sparkles with the
brilliancy of thousand gems; each,
all, exclusive types of the very latest,
newest, best display of holiday goods
ever exhibited in Wheeling.
They cannot be matched. They can
not be outshown. They cannot be du-
plicated, and about all this grand dis
play hovers the positive assurance that
in spite of richness or rareness, the
prices are pitched only to the level of
actual worth.
Again we say it is bold stroke OF
advertising. A stroke that means an
actual cash saving to you, greater
than is promised by any of the So
called bargain offerings about town.
They have no excuse to make for such
extraordinary selling. Rather they de-
serve praise. Nobody has failed. They
are neither assignees nor consignees,
but simply a generous Santa Claus.
