GOOD SERVICE
Given by the Register During the Pas'
Few Days.

Given by the Register During the Past
Few Days.
The enterprise Of the Register, not
only in getting reliable news, but IN
placing the papers in the hands OF
patrons. was never quite so we'll Illus
trated as during the recent flood, now
happily subsiding.
Not only were the accounts publish
ed by the Register of the local dlsas-
Ter comprehensive and reliable, devoid
of the least attempt at sensationallsm,
but the papers were served through
out the flooded districts of the city
and neighboring towns with prompt
ness approached by no other journal.
Thursday morning well organized
service distributed the papers through
out Bellaire far in advance of the re-
ceipt of other papers, while at Mounds
vile the Register was the only pa
per on sale, and six hundred copies
were disposed of Thursday morning.
Friday the service was perfected, and
the neighboring towns received their
Registers far in advance Of other pa
pers, while at ten O'Clock in the morn
ing papers were sent by boat to New
Martinsville, Sistersville, Darlington,
Marietta and Parkersburg, where they
were gratefully received and welcomed
by patrons. The Island distribution
was made by skis, and on the South
Side all patrons were supplied with
more than reasonable expedition. The
aim of the Register is not only to
obtain the news, but to see that the
news reaches the people, and this has
been accomplished during the A-esent
trying week in the most satisfactory
manner. And not only We're subscrib-
ers supplied, but large extra editions
were sold on both Thursday and ges-
terday. When it comes to meeting an
emergency, the Register is strictly in
the game.

MINISTER'S MEETING

A meeting of all the local ministers
has been called for Monday night at
the Y. M. c. A. building The object
is to be the formation of the Christian
Citizenship League, a branch Of the
national organization, which has its
headquarters in Chicago. The organ
ization will be the successor to the
Civic Federation and the Good Gov
eminent Club, both of which were
short lived because of lack of inter
est on the part of those who were ex-
pected to be active in carrying out its
aims. The officers were chosen at a
previous meeting as follows: Presi-
dent, Rev. J. H. Littell; secretary, Rev.
W. H. Anderson. The remaining Off
GERS will be chosen at Monday night
meeting. The object of the organiza-
ton is to secure reforms in municipal
government, and it is the desire to en-
brace all Christian voters in the mem
bership One of the promoters, who
was also prominently identified with
the other two organizations named, is
authority for the statement that every
Protestant minister in the city will
support the movement. and endeavor
to secure the cooperation of his con-
gregation This, however, is denied
by a leading minister, who states that
he is opposed to the organization for
the reason that it will bring the church
into politics, and will pledge every
minister to refuse to come into con-
tact with class of citizens whom they
are supposed to reach.

The cultured and representative au-

last evening, on the occasion of the APP
pearance of Francis Wilson and his ex-
cellent company, witnessed a splendid
production of the comic opera Half a
King" adapted by Harry B. Smith and
set to music by Ludwig Erlanger. The
company is not only large, but entirely
capable throughout, and the rendition
was thoroughly enjoyed by those who
appreciate a little nonsense now and
then, particularly when it is of a high
order. Mr.. Wilson, as a matter of
course, was a whole show in himself,
but his support was more than good,
particularly as regards the 'Pierette'
Of Miss Lulu CHASER, and the 'Lucide"
of Miss Celeste Wynn. Misses Della
Niven and Bessie Howard also well
filed their respective roles. 1t has

ter. although he is scarcely stranger
