advantage of other conditions TO encom-
pass his defeat. We therefore ask our
friends aid to rally TO his support and
turn to him as many votes as possible
from the other political parties SO that his
election may be insured. Upon the same
ground we asked for Mn. Howard's sup
port two years ago we bespeak the help
of our friends for his colleague in this
campaign, MIR. f. b.. Armstrong.
Your help can be best given by a per-
sonal work with your friends and ac-
quaintances to seek to influence votes for
these gentlemen which would, otherwise,
not be cast for them, and in this way
overcome the extra efforts which are be-
ing directed against them. We are war
ranted in saying that all such assistance
as you may be able to render will be
gratefully appreciated and worthily be-
slowed.
Thanking you for your interest in this
reform and with best wishes, remain,
Very truly yours.

After going to the trouble and ex-
pense of putting a ticket of their own
in the field, the Prohibitionists of Bel
mont county have found two men on
the Republican ticket to suit them, and
propose helping elect them by dropping
their own candidates and advising
their faithful to vote for Howard and
Armstrong, because they are pledged
to the Hinkell bill, which would prob
ably mean prohibition in Belmont
county. This would be a good thing
for Wheeling, as our sister towns would
have to come here for their "booZe"
and while here for that we would sell
them shoes, clothing, dry goods and
many other articles now bought on the
other side.

Manager F. Riester has secured Chas.
e. Blaney's big extravaganza success,
"a Boy Wanted" which was the big
gest financial success during the past
season of all farce comedies; and with
the same great big company of artists,
it will, without doubt, duplicate the
success this season, as Mr.. Blaney has
spared neither money, time nor pains
to make this organization complete in
every detail. At the Opera House this
evening
Manager Chas A. Feinler has secured
new English comedy for an early
date, the title Of which interests at
once all lovers of genuine humor. 1.-THE
Strange Adventures of Miss Brown"
is considered the most overwhelmingly
funny comedy ever written, which,
with the Introduction of several first
class specialties, will be one of the best
drawing plays ever produced at the
Grand Opera House. An American
company of legitimate and vaudeville
performers will present the piece with
all the original scenery, costumes and
specialties. The date here is a half
week, beginning Thursday night, with
usual Saturday matinee.
The opening performance of the en-
gagement of Go-Won-Go Mohawk, the
famous American Indian actress, at
tracted large audience to the Grand
Opera House last night, in spite of the
inclement weather. ''Wep-ton- no-mah"
is border drama, introducing char
acters familiar to the west, and no end
of exciting situations and climaXes.
The company is strong, and the special
scenery and costumes are excellent and
very appropriate. Miss Mohawk and
Mr.. Collins as Spanish Joe," took their
parts exceptionally well, one winning
frequent applause, and the other being
rewarded with complimentary Kisses.
Manager Feinler has arranged for a
private wire to the stage of the theatre
tonight, and between acts of WEEP
ton-no-mah,' the election returns will
be announced.

TO THE POOR HOUSE.
The Only Haven for a Sick and
 Moneyless Stranger.

This morning, in rear of the gas house, the police discovered a sick stranger, without money and with. out friends. He is Bohemian from Memphis, in search Of employ ment. He was taken sick here and was lying near a pile of lumber when discovered. This morning he was carried to the poor house there being no other haven in the city for such unfortunates
 Such cases are frequently called to the attention of our readers, and in this connection it will be we'll to urge the County Levying Board, which meets in October, to appro. priate a sum of money to be used to care for the deserving sick and des- titute. The poor house is no place for such people There they can not receive proper medical treat ment and attention, and it is dis. grace to the county and city that, in this enlightened and philanthropie age, that neither Pine Bluff nor Jef- ferson county have haven or char ity hospital where the sick and des. titute can be given humane treat ment.
 An appropriation of $2, GOO a V al by the county woald be most bene. fcial in this cause, and that sum would scarcely be felt by the tax payers of the rich county of Jeiler. son
 If a sum of money was thus appro. priated by the Levying Board, per haps a ward could be secured at the Infirmary for the treatment and care of unfortauates who take sick and are without money or friends.

What is believed to be the big. geat cave and that may turn out to be one of the greatest natural won ders yet discovered has been found near Logan, q small town about twelve miles east of Sloan Springs, in Benton county.
 The full extent of the discovery has not yet been determined but, according to tue statement of H. H. Garfield, a prominent resident of that place, who claims to have been in the cave from l p. m. to mid night, from five to seven miles were 1 explored without finding the end, The cave is traversed by large stream, and their trip was made in boats Mr Garfield has traveled extensively and has visited many of the natural wonders of the world but claims nsver to have seen any thing that beats the mammoth cave of Arkansas nbe existence of this cave has been known by old settlers ever since the war. but it had never been explored At many places along the underground river no bot tom could be found, although sound ings were made.
 Thare is cavern after cavern, says Mr Garfield, the grandeur of which, by torchlight, cannot be portrayed by pencil. At some places along the route traversed by Mr. Garfield, cocks could be heard growing in the barnyards above, so close did be come to the top of the earth, but not a trace Of day light was visible from within.
