ACTOR AND ACTRESS
SKIP THE TOWN, !
disappear Suddenly With
Won Back" Funds.
LEAVES UNPAID BILLS.
How They Got Their Trunks ia the
Depot from Boarding House to
Leave.

Fred Ellis Duff, the actor, who direc-
ted and took part in the play of sWon
Back" last Monday night at the Park
Opera House, this city, has mysterious
~ disappeared, and taken with him
certain funds that were realized from
the sale OF tickets to the show, the pro-
ceeds Of which were to be divided be-
tween Duff and the sick soldiers of the
Seventh Army Corps.
Lit is impossible to tell how much
money was appropriated by Duff, but
the ladies who were associated with
him in getting up this play are highly
indignant OF the way they have been
treated, as they say they were most
considerate of Duff and trusted him
implicitly.
Duff's disappearance was not known
until yesterday afternoon. when the la
dies who had charge of the entertain
ment sent word to his boarding house
that they desired to have settlement.
LIZ was then discovered that Mr.. and
mrs. Duff had left town early yesterday
morning, leaving their board bill I'M
paid.
1t was also discovered that the way
in which Duff got his trunks out of his
brarding house Monday afternoon was
he informed the landlady to whom he
was in arrears that the costumes for
"Won Back" we've in, the trunks, and
wanted them sent to the theatre, and
the trusting landlady willingly let the
trunks go out of the house, but instead
of going to the theater they went to
the depot.
Chief Of Police Vinzant was imme-
diately notified of Duff disappearance,
and he has telegraphed to surrounding
cities, but SO far nothing has been
heard of the actor Jacksonville

Oliver Don't Mean 1t.

The Chenille Imprint gets off
the following good one on Ol.Hard-
man:
o. w. o. Hardman, the man
from Tyler who wanted to fill Do
vener's shoes, was in town Monday.
He also made speech at the court
house. 1t was short, but it requir-
ed a great effort to get it off, and
he wanted to say it as far from
home as possible. He said he
wanted every man, woman and
child to vote for Dovener; and then
asked his Master to forgive him for
saying it. He reminded Us Of the
school boy who had done an injury
to one of his classmates, and the
teacher gave him his choice of eth
er apologizing before the whole
school or taking a whipping. The
boy apologized, but said under his
breath, Damned if I meant it. y
Hardman told his hearers to vote
for Doverner, but no one believes
he meant it.

Lacking in the Case of the II wO Coun-
terFeiters.


Lacking I'm the Case of the T NO Cour-
terfeiters.
The two men, Boyers and Keis'
ter, who were in custody yesterday
on a charge of circulating counter
felt money, have been released, but
will be kept under surveillance un-
til the guilt is fastened on the cul-
pable parties. The suspects were
arraigned in police court, and from
the evidence given, it was decided
that they were not connected in
any way with the manufacture OF
the spurious coin, but had receiv-
ed the money innocently.
The saloon keeper that gave
Keister the two counterfeit dollars
and subsequently redeemed them
with legal coin, will be called upon
to explain his possession of the bad
money, and by thus tracing the
matter back perhaps clue may be
obtained that may lead to the ap-
prehension of the guilty party.
The police have in their posses
sion over FIVE dollars in counterfeit
nickels and dimes. bearing the
identical stamp Of the two bad dol
lars. This gives evidence to the
opinion that the money Is all being
issued from the same source and
that the business has not yet as
sumed serious dimensions. The
counterfeiting is being done in this
vicinity, no doubt, and knowing
the intelligence ard discernment
of our police officials the presump'
ton is safe that at no distant date
those responsible for the coinage of
this illegal money will be in dur
ance.

Hughes has no one to blame but

laws of our State. There was
nothing illegal asked of him. He

him again to do the same thing

with its license clause, let
him say so positively and with
out any ifs or ands. The Review
will publish his card to this effect.

Mr.. Hughes, the Hardman can
didate for the legislature was in
our city last week and while here
met and conversed with the wicked
men known as saloon keepers
which the Star maintains are worse
men than even Hardnan and 9th
rers, who live in The holy town OF
Middlebourne. Mr.. Hughes was
here to get votes. He talked
long and very earnestly to these
bad men, This will no doubt
astonish some of our holy friends
at the county seat, but it is a
fact the sanity Hughes did con-
verse with the saloon men. He told
them he was friendly to our city,
always was and always will be. We
add this, especially before the
election he loves Us all. He
further stated that he was in favor
of any and all REASONABLE
legislation that our people might
want or ask for. If Mr..
Hughes thinks so, he ought to have
had our charter passed two years
ago when he had the oppor-
tunity to do what Our people wanted
done and asked to have done. This
promise is very indefinite, and
simply means that if elected,
Hughes will oppose any charter
with the license clause in it, or any
other clause that he thinks will i'm
prove our city. The saloon men
told Mr.. Hughes that they loved
him with all their wicked natures
would allow them to love any man.
but they had been mislead, abused,
bled, cursed, kicked, black

ed and villifed about al
they thought was their share, thai

The Star told us only few days
since that it would publish our
proposed new charter in full to
show by it what terrible affair it
was, but it has not done so nor will
it. They seem to have lost all in
terest in the charter and license.
The editors are evidently beginning
to find out that the good people Of
the county are getting weary of one
part of the county running all the
rest of the county. The editors
are finding out the people are tired
of paying taxes for grand iuries to
indict whiskey men so they can
be bled, and whiskey selling going
right along all the time.
The Star dares not publish our
charter. It is an honest and just
law, one that does not concern any
one but Our own people. The Star
can brag and boast and lie about the
charter, but it dare not print it,
as it threatened to do. We dare
them to publish it. We will wager
ten dollars to dime they never
saw the charter, never read it.,
and would not know it if they did
see it. They are simply determined
to use all their power to ipjure Sis
tersville or any other part of the
county that dares try to Improve
and build up. Now, gentlemen,
either print the charter or else con-
fess that the threat to print it was
a bluff.

county court. If Hills elected we
will still have republican legis-
iature. But aside from this, Hill
and Riggs when elected will treat
all fair and equal. When appoint
ments are made it will not be
necessary to secure Hardman's con-
sent first. If Riggs is elected
when our people go to County
court it will not be required OF us
to secure Hartman, Shepherd,
Foreman ct al, consent first. IF
our petition and requests are legal,
so far as Mr.. Riggs is concerned
they will be granted. Surely this
alone is enough to make every man
in Sistersville pause before voting
for a man who has no interests here,
who is openly opposed to us, and to
our city and is advised, voted,
owned and run by the gang who
has opposed our city so long and
determinedly to its detriment.
What can we hope to gain by
Weekly's election. Nothing what
ever. The same is true OF Mr..
Hill. He is not fool partisan and
and is owned by no one. He can
ard will vote and work for any
Legislation our people may ask for,
no difference from what part OF the
county the petition comes. What
will Hughes do. We know from
actual experience. We know he is
run absolutely by Hardman and lis
band. He is opposed to our city and
already by his act stopped Our pro-
gress for two years. He and his
organ declare against our charter.
So what will we gain by voting for
him? Nothing at all. But you say
the republicans would lose vote
for U. S. senator. True, but the
republican senator will have votes
to burn as the saying is. One man
will not change the legislature an
iota. fit did the electiug or de-
feat of any man for Senator will not
make our city penny, the cnaItei
is worth thousands of dollars to US.
It's question of voting simply for
our own Individual interests this
fall. The whole matter lies with
our people. Unitedly we can win
but not otherwise. Think the mat
Ter over we'll before voting. Vote
for Dovenor if you like. AS to that
we have nothing to say but vote
for Hill and Riggs and by doing so
you vote for your own good as indl-
viduals and as a city.

turn us down. We are voting TOR
home, not politics this year.
If the people of sSistersville will
all do their duty this fall we will
soon have a new city charter that
will be of untold advantage to our
city. The people in the country,
who are not prejudiced and led by
ignorant and partisan bosses, are
going to help us this fall to elect
Hill and Riggs, but they expect US
to do our whole duty, as we will be
the parties who will receive the ben
ehts. If we fail to elect these men
this fall, we will be tied up as we
are now for four years more at the
least, for the very good reason that
the next election will be a presi-
dental election, when politics will
be very much discussed, party
lines will be drawn and it will be
very difficult to interest people in
any local issue. This year there is
nothing to excite any party feeling,
and we can talk and discuss local
issues. So we think that unless we
can win this fall, we might as we'll
make up Our minds to wait for four
years more at least.
There is another matter this
time that is positively settled and
not disputed by anyone, and
that is, that Hughes has openly and
positively declared he is now and
always will oppose our charter
with its license clause. Weekly,
who is running tor county commits
sioner and who if elected will serve
for six years, says he wants to be
an anti license man or
not be elected. He is positively
and bitterly opposed to license any
where or under any circumstances.
On the other hand Hill and
Riggs are neither of them intemper-
ate men. They do not drink and
never have. They are honest, in
telligent, liberal and good citizens.
They do not favor license only be-
cause they believe at this time
under the present circumstances
it is impossible to stop the sale of
it here and in one or two
other points in the county, per-
haps, but here it is very certain
it cannot be stopped, if for no other
reason than because the people do
not want it shut up and you can
not enforce a revenue law among
the people who want the law VIC
lated. This is the issue. Hill and
Riggs are opposed to license and
will vote against it any time it is
possible to stop its sale in the coun-
ty. We believe this is the best and
only practical way to deal with
the question. But the issue is
drawn aud the men stand fairly on
these platforms. We all know
just what we are voting tor. Poll
tics cuts no figure here. 1t is IL
ceuse or no license. If Riggs is
elected we still have republican

MURDERED BY A QUACK.
Patent Medicine Wireback Killed a
Scranton (Pa.) Banker.

Lancaster, Pa, April David B.
Lands. president Of the Conestoga Ma
tional bank. and one of the leading cit
liens of this city, was shot and killed
this morning by Ralph w. Wireback.
maker of a patent medicine bearing his
name.
The tragedy resulted from an effort
of Lands to Gust Wireback from his
house. Wireback had refused to va
cate. sending his family away and bar
ricading the entrance. When con-
stables endeavored to eject him, Wire
back took refuge in the garnet and
asked for a conference. Lands. fol-
lowed by the constables. started up
stairs. He had not assembled more
than two steps when Wireback fired
upon him and he fell back into the
arms of one of the constables, his head
being blown off. Wirehack is en-
trenched behind his barricade.
About 1890 pm, Wireback, on the
advice of his counsel, gave himself up.
on the way TO Jail, Wireback said:
What is all this crowd doing here?
It's too cold for a camp meeting"
The murdered man was largely con-
nected with the business interests of
this city.
