DR.. Charles Lincoln Smith Has TormIn-
Htsd Hts ProEsTSiOnHl Engagement In
Wheeling.
The distinguished New York eye ex-
pert. DR.. Charles Lincoln Smith. has ter
minated his professional visit 10 THIS city,
but the Doctor will remain in the city
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, at
his parlOrs at the Mcclure House, in or
der TO close up his business affairs in our
city, and to the end that his hundreds Of
patients may have an opportunity to call
upon him for a last consultation asito the
condition OF their eyes, the benefits OF his
prescription glasses, and for an inter-
change OF notes as to their Individual
caSeS. 1t Is a matter Of anxiety on the
part Of the Doctor that each and every
one Of his patients in this city and Well
nifty may be not only perfectly and en-
tirely satisfied, but permanently and tru-
~ benefited, and to this end he invites
them to call upon him for final consul
tation during the few days he vii! remain
In Wheeling.
II gives the public pleasure to have
such professional gentleman honor the
city with his presence. Such experts are
few indeed, and 1t would be more than
well n DR.. Smith could be induced to To-
cate permanently In Wheeling. This is
out " the question, however. He has
won his way by sheer merit TO the conf
dence and esteem OF the very best clti-
Zens. and II has been upon rare occa-
sIons, indeed, that this city has been Wis
tied by one Of his professional skill and
experience or personal courtesy. This
has been the common testimonial be-
slowed upon him for years. In score OF
cities in all parts of the country, and-in
each there has been widespread regret
al his departure.
The Doctor has our very best wishes for
his future success in his calling. wher-
ever he may be located. and It will be
matter for congratulatiOn II he will again
visit Wheeling In the near future. A
prolonged sojourn from this distinguish
ed expert would be appreciated By hum
dreds from purely professional stand
point. while socially the Doctor has won
many friends who regret his departure.

A Conveyance With Eighty Quarts
of Nitro.Glycerine
HEADED FOR TOWN YESTERDAY
BUT THE DRIVER DECIDED TO
GIVE WHEELING A WIDE
BERTH = POLICE OFFICERS
WEIRD STATIONED ABOVE
TOWN TO INTERCEPT THE OUT
FIT - INSTEAD OF COMING
ROUGH WHEELING HE
STRUCK OUT INTO THE INTER
IoR OF THE COUNTY.

Yesterday afternoon. Sheriff George
W, Mccleary, of Brooke county. tele-
phoned Chief OF Police Bennett that a
man driving spring wagon, drawn by
two ponies, and the wagon loaded with
eighty quarts OF nitro-glvcerine bound
for the southwest oil fields, had pass
ed through Wellsburgh at l o'clock,
taking the river road for Wheeling.
With such a dangerous customer
bearing down upon the city. and the
MoundsviIle tragedy OF a year ago
fresh in their minds. Mayor Butts and
Chief Bennett got their heads together
and determined to keep the outfit out
of the city, officer Coss was sent up
to the water works pumping station.
and another officer to the Top MILL and
they were directed to keep the man Of
explosives out OF town at all costs.
However, up to late hour last night,
the outfit had not appeared, and 1t was
learned that he had skirted the city,
going into the interior OF Ohio county
via the Short creek road, few miles
above town.
Mayor Butts suggests that an ordl-
nance ought TO be passed by council,
prohibiting the passage through the
city OF such dangerous compounds. He
wants the penalty thirty days impris-
and 500 fine.
