William F. shaffer has succeeded Hlr.
Rlheldaffer as secretary and treasurer

Meet in This City and are Said to Favor
Reorganization
Yesterday there was a meeting Of the
board OF directors OF the Jefferson Iron
works, The meeting convened at the
City bank in the morning and was con-
tinued into the afternoon Efforts were
made 10 learn just what was done at the
meeting, but the people approached
maintained q rettcence that could not be
broken down under the persuasiveneSs
OF seekers after Information. From an
outside source 1t Is learned that the d.
rectors are considering a reorganization
Of the company and the starting up OF
the plant at SteubenviSte. The best
furnace Is at present under lease to the
Aetna Standard company, the product
going to the company's finishing mills
at Mfngo Junction. The lease expires
next year So far MS could be learned

tlun was reached at Yesterdays meeting,
Among the Out-of-towu directors here

Vile, who has been identified with the

YeaIsrdny.

In the Price oTIrOn and steel Pipe Made
YsAtsrday.
Speaking OF the advance OF per
cent in iron and steel pipe made yester-
day at Pittsburgh, the Press says;
The price OF iron and steel pipe win be
advanced about per cent as result
OF the meeting OF manufacturers to-
dag. The meeting Is n regular monthly
one, and coming as It does just at the
present time, when the pipe market Is
manifestlng an unusual activity, It Is
attracting more than the ordinary
amount OF interest. The advance In
price will be the direct result Of large
number OF important orders which have
been placed within the past week or
two. II was during the latter part OF
the week that the Standard OIL Com
pnny placed an order with Pittsburgh
mills for forty miles OF eight-IRch pipe,
and the manufacturers are Just now
getting IN bids on two more large or
ders. one for thirty miles and another
for ihlrty-ihFee miles. The regular
market quotations on pipe advanced n
few points last week as n result Of the
briskness, without the formal action OF

In the departure of John C. Riheldat-
fer. late secretary and treasurer Of the
vance Shoe Company, for Chicago yes
terday, Wheeling loses one OF her
brightest young business men and Chi
cago is the gamer.
The news that Mr.. Rlheldafier would
sever his local business connections
and make Chicago his home in the fu-
,ure. did not become generally known
until yesterday, and his departure fog
the Windy City followed In the after
noon. A number of the gentleman's
business friends and associates accom-
panied him to the railroad station and
babe him the last farewell with feelings
Of regret.
Recently the Phoenix Shoe Company,
with a large shoe factory at West Pull
man, an Industrial suburb of Chicago,
was formed, succeeding the Vance s.
Jones Company, OF which Mr. Jones was
the manager. Mr.. Riheldaffer has been
CHOSEN the manager OF the phoenix
company, and 1t was to accept this inn
portant position that he rendered his
resignation last week Us secretary and
treasurer OF the Vance Shoe Company,
Of this city. The Phoenix company Is a
sister corporation OF the Vance COM
pany, the stockholders Of both being
largely the same. and the product OF the
West Pullman concern comes in Its en-
tlrety to the Vance Shoe company,
whose 5obblng trade extends over both
the east and central west and Is one OF
WheelIng's largest jobbing enterprises:
On Saturday evening the members OF
Cyrene Commandery No. z. Knights
Templar, Of which Mr.. Riheldaffer has
been q prominent member since Its
birth, met and presented to him a
handsome past grand commanders

he Is held BY the Knights. 1t is inscrib-
ed as follows:

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-03-16
The Texas Girl.

Chivalry used to be described as a
southern virtue, and though we do not
wish to imply that the men of the north
are unchivalrous it is quite possible
that in the south women are still re-
garded with a greater degree Of formal
reverence than elsewhere. A native of
Texas describes with enthusiasm tho
women Of his state and SHOWS why they
cannot fail to excite admiration. ''They
are,' he declares, "sweet, polite, gra-
cious and courageous; they do not curse
or swear; they do not use slang, and are
not drunkards. Most Of them ride we'll
on horseback and can use the six shooter,
but do not want to take away a man s
job or position. - Could more engage
ing picture be drawn? These lovely
compounds Of sweetness and strength
know their power, but do not abuse it.
They may resent injury in the most ef-
fective fashion, but they are not mean.
They will hesitate before shooting
man who has family dependent upon
him. They are no mere amazons. The
fact that they do not curse and swear
shows that they possess also tho gentler
domestic virtues. Those who are in
search of the ideal girl should purchase
ticket for Texas. Jour-
nal.

The Servian Drum.

The men who play the big drums in
the different regiments of the Servian
army must have an easier lot than. the
drummers of other lands, for they do
not have to carry their own drums
In nearly all cases instead of being
slung in front Of the man who plays it
the instrument is put on small two
wheel cart drawn by a large dog. Of
course the drummer must play as he
marches, but the dog is SO we'll trained
that there is no difficulty in doing this.
The animal keeps his place even
through the longest marches, and the
drummer walks behind the cart, per-
forming on his instrument Al. it goes
along. Each regiment is provided with
two or three big drums, but very few
regiments have band. o. Youth g Com

The OdOr of the Opera.

] The confirmed opera goer drew long
breath. 'That would make me happy if
it blew over my grave" he murmured
blissfully. ...
The woman with him looked at him
doubtfully. whats blowing?'' she
asked unsympathetically. @
"1t's the perfume,' he explained.
Zone always gets it when the curtain
rises on the second act. The house is
full by that time and the odors Of the
flowers and perfumes have grown
heavy. Fhe air is close and oppressive
during the entr'acte, but when the cur
tain goes up the draft sweeps out and
catches that indescribable odor and
whirls it up here 70 the dress circle.
It's not like anything else. No theater
has it. It's the essence of opera flowers
and laces and jewels and beauty and
music. I'd recognize Whit of it in
paradise. just ask any old chap who
has been coming here for years about
it. He'll know what mean. New
