Plurger" Is the title OF Mr.. Byron's Play,
Mr.. Byron's part OF Dexter Digit, the
pluEger. is full OF very amusing light
comedy. Some OF his scenes with the
Widow Clover, n part created and play
cd by Miss Kate Byron, are said to be
extremely funny. At other times Dex-
ter Digit Is decidedly melodramatic.
The Plunger is a jolly fellow, and a firm
friend Of Walter Glydon. A happy, roll

bright business man. IT Is unnecessary
to speak of Mr.. Byronis qualifications
for such q part. Miss Kate Byron's
Widow Clover is receiving flatterig

To-day the little 'uns In the immcdl-
ate vicinity OF Wheeling have tiielr
annual municipal scraps-olectlons, In,
other words. Elections are scheduled at
McMcehen, Fulton, Pleasant Valley,
Cameron. Trladclphia and Elm Grove,
Interest In all is general and large votes
will be out.
AT StcMeehen the rolls open at sum
rise and close at sunset Contrary to
reports printed yesterday afternoon the
question OF license does not figure at
MeMechcn. The Citizens Improvement
people favor a more liberal policy on.
Improvements than the more conserva-
tive Citizens crowd desires. The candi-
dates are US follows:
Citizens Improvement-.Mayor, JOS

councllmon. II. F. Hart, Isaiah Stevens,
John Ruckman, Samuel Billers.
Citizens ticket-Mayor, j. A, Cham
bers: recorder, John NJ. Rodey; cour-
cilmen. Z. P. McMechcn. Charles Kaut-
man. Jesse Clayton, William Chapman.
William Campbell.
Out ut Fulton--sweet-scented Fulton
around the hill--lt is all a question OF
lights. The enlightened" policy OF the
present chief executive. Mayor Henry
Roth, is opposed by ex-Mayor Hamm,
the deposed BOSS Croker" OF the VIII
lage. The battle Is expected TO be was-
ed hot and furious, and every vote in
town will be recorded II the thing Is
possible OF accomplishment. Neither the
eagle Of Republlcanlsm nor the faint
hearted fowl Of Democracy figures in
the contest.
Under the old charter OF Triadelphia.
nominations are not made. The voter
votes for whom he pleascs, and the six
receiving the largest number Of votes
are chosen councilmen, and the coun-
Gil elects the mayor.
At Elm Grove nothing else Is talked
OF these days. It Is an unendlnggrowl all
around, and If the Independent ticket.
headed by Madden and Gamble, goes
through, there will be "growlera" with
out limit. II the Wharton-D Duncan
ticket woos the bird of victory for

A Roseburg boy tells OF the Philippine
islanders in the following spicey way:
The natives are a very peculiar race of
people. If you could be here and see
them you would laugh till you were sick.
The men wear drawers and shirt. The
women wear-well they're almost naked
and they have no such thing as modesty
about them. You might say the child
rem are naked. They look like SO many
1t looks 80 funny TO see little girls smok-
ing cigarettes. The women do all the
work, and boss the men around worse
than they do at home. 1t looks like every
woman in Cavite is running a store. 4
store here consists Of big fiat fruit
basket full Of fruits, cane sugar and duck
eggs. Some of them have bread to sell.
They always want two prices for every
thing, but you can jew them down about
half.
