To the Editor of the Register

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Seeing in your Sunday issue, I'M
der the heading of Justice w. w. Rogers
Court, an article wherein it states T. E.
Baldensperger, of Ross, WetZel county,
brought a suit against me to recover S.. 70
for waist purchased, 1 merely wish to
state that the party called for a waist,
size SO, which was given them. After
wards the waist was returned with the
cuse the waist was too small We agreed
to give party larger size but nothing
else would do but to refund money, hence
the salesman told party distinctly the
rule of our store (aS well as other store
keepers) was to exchange the waist for
any other waist, or any other merchan-
disc or due bill for amount paid. good
until presented. So you will kindly cor
rect the report wherein IL states we re-
fused to refund money, az the same was
not sold under those conditions. Further
more when party called the second time,
she remarked that the young lady at the
hotel said the waist would not wear, and
for that reason she wanted money back.
so you will please publish this correction
in YOUR paper in justice TO myself. ar
ticle published in Sunday ISSUE obtained
from Justice Rogers is incorrect.

MISS Anna DOWney, a repro
OF the Women's Foreign Mission a. e.

Street M. e. church last evening" - !.
was heard by large congregationp al !
much appreciation. Miss DowneyN",tssA
spoken to Wheeling audiences befAaS
and does not fail to make an impressfGe
by her charming personality and grace
full and forceful style of address. Her,
address last night was in behalf of for
eign missions.
In outlining her discourse Miss Dow
ney stated the principle of Christian
ethics that weakness of character was
a sin as the means Of remedy to every
person was easily available, and when
people sinned they only cultivated their
weaknesses instead of overcoming
them. Many people regarded such con-
versions as Saul Of TarsuS as some
thing supernatural, yet the speaker ar
gued, there was no reason why any per-
son in her audience had not the same
opportunity of changing their lives to
availing themselves of the same source
Of strength to enable them to overcome
their weaknesses and habits Of sin.
The secret of the power of the life of
the Apostle Paul and other great Chris
tan characters of history was that
Christ dwelt in their hearts. No per
son, however, could attain high stature
in Christian character unless their ma
ture was deep rooted in love-love for
God, love for themselves and love for
Others The speaker did not agree with
the theory that in the development of
the spiritual nature it was necessary to
be dead to self She argued that a
true, noble and pure love for self ought
to be cultivated. such a love as would
permit no evil thought to be entertain
ed by the mind, such love that would
shun every act that would retard the
highest possible Christian development
and experience.
The noblest ideal of Christian char
acter could not be attained unless the
man or woman possessed a strong pas
sionate love for humanity, love that
made every man brother whether in
Asia, Africa or the isles of the sea.
Miss Downey spoke of some of the
aims in life which people designated
their passions, such as the passion for
making money and passion for politi-
cal preferment, and eloquently urged
her hearers to cultivate the nobler.
higher passion of love for humanity.

Ed. Birch, sherman at the
AatnaStandard mill, who lives in the
North End, committed a murderous
assault upon VIM. Falkenstein about
$3.50 o'clock last night. Falkenstein is
now lying in a serious condition at
the North Wheeling Hospital, and his
assailant had not been arrested up to
an early hour this morning.
The affair took place in Loomis' sa-
loon, corner Market and Tenth streets.
1t appears that the two men were
standing in front of the bar, and that
both were more or less under the in
fiuence of liquor A quarrel arose over
some matter which could not be
learned, and from words the men
came to blows. Both are large men,
Birch weighing about $50 pounds, and
Falkenstein about 225. In the fight
it appears that Birch was worsted,
and that he received sound thrash
ing from Falkenstein. By-standers
succeeded in separating the men, and
some person whispered to Falkenstein
to be careful, as Birch was treacher-
Gus and might stick a knife into him.
Falkenstein then remarked that he
wanted no more trouble, and would
get away He started out through the
back door of the saloon, Birch watch
ing him. When he had left, Birch
took a large handle beer mug from
the bar, and started out the side door
leading to Market street. He ran
around the back way and re-entered
the saloon, but evidently missed Falk-
enstein. He then went out the back
way and returned through the front
door. Not finding his man, he started
around again in the opposite direc-
ton
This time he was successful. He
found Falkenstein sitting on the rear
steps. He assaulted Falkenstein with
the glass, and belabored him over the
head without mercy, while his victim,
stunned by the first blow, was power
less to offer any resistance. Inc
glass broke. but Birch continued to
strike Falkensten until he was beaten
into insensibility. He then left his
victim and succeeded in making his
escape.
Several men in the saloon who had
heard the noise on the outside, rusneo
to the back door and were met WIN
a shocking sight. Falkenstein was lay
ing on the pavement, his face and
head showing gaping wounds from
which streams of blood flowed.
The injured man was carried into
the rear room and placed upon a table.
| Telephone messages were Immediately
sent to DR.. Ridgeway and DR.. S. L..
Spragg, both of whom responded
promptly. An examination revealed
the fact that there were no less tnah
twenty cuts upon Falkensteln's head
and face. From two of them the sur
geons removed quantities OF shattered
glass. The work of closing and dress
ing the wounds occupied several hours,
no less than one hundred stitches be-
ing required from the needles OF the
surgeons. Both stated that Faiken-
STEMS condition is not necessarily
dangerous, but may take serious turn
on account of the number OF cuts ana
bruises He regained consciousness
while the surgeons were at work.
Falkenstein who lives on South
Chapline street. was removed carry
this morning to the North Wheellhg
Hospital.
