A railroad wreck delayed the arrival
of the Digby Bell company, but there
was a patient audience at the Opera
House, and although the curtain did
not go up until nearly nine o'clock, the
performance was not cut. The annoy
ance of the long wait was compensated
for by the merit of the production of
Joe Hurst, Gentleman" Mrs. Bur-
nett presents a new theme for a stage
story, and has constructed an admir-
able little comedy drama, which sus
tains all the complimentary things said
of it elsewhere. Of Bell and his cap
able supporting company it is not nee
esary to say much beyond the fact that
their work was quite up to their usual
high standard.

The Ryan company entertained two
large audiences at the Grand Opera
House yesterday, presenting Thou
Shalt Not" at the matinee, and From
Sire to Son" at night. The joint stars,
Mr. Ryan and Miss Fuller, had strong
parts in both plays, and they did very
creditable work. The company receiv
ed curtain calls at both performances.
The specialties were repeatedly en-
cored Tonight the company offers
what the press elsewhere pronounces
one of the most artistic and meritorious
productions of the week, the romantic
classic "Ingomar." 1t is one of the
prettiest stage stories ever enacted, and
Mr.. Ryan promises that it will be
handsomely mounted with special seen
cry and presented with new and cor
rect costumes, and with a careful at
tention to all the details essential to
an artistic production.

The Children's Masque Ball given at
the Mercantile club last evening, was
very well attended. The large ball
room was comfortably filed with gay
jewellers. The hours between eight
and nine p. m. were swiftly whiled
away with dancing to Meisters orches-
ira. About twenty-five couples Of
young people were in attendance. The
grand march at 1920 o'clock was led
by Miss Florence and Master Jack
Horkheimer TO the supper room, where
an excellent supper was served At
midnight dancing was discontinued.

Remember the Maine" naval war
play by Lincoln J. Carter, will be pro-
duced on very elaborate and imposing
scale at the Grand the first half of next
week. The scenery and mechanical eff
fects used in the production of this
beautiful play are said to be the acme
of stage realism, and the management
calls attention to the fact that the pic
ture of the scenes as well as OF the
advertising matter displayed by this
company is not in the least eXagger-
ated, but are made from photographs
taken by flashlights from the actual
representations given upon the stage.
The cast is said to be exceptionally
strong. The piece is triumph for both
company and management and will no
doubt meet with due recognition from
theatre-g oers.

So many stories have been told and
SO many rumors been set afioat over
the sale of the Aetna-Standard plant to
the National Steel Company, and the
contradictions and misstatements con-
tanned in these stories and rumors have
been SO numerous and so apparent, that
concise and accurate state
ment of the situation is not inappro-
pirate.
Not only has the plant been sold, but
the money has arrived in Wheeling,
Bellaire and Bridgeport to pay for the
stock. The City Bank of this city is
alone in receipt of an amount approx
mating $950,00O, to be used in payment
for stock. and the disbursing Of the
same, upon the presentation of certifi
Gates, will commence about the first of
the coming week. The First National
Bank of Bridgeport and the First Ma
tiOnal Bank Of Bellaire will also dis
burse very considerable amounts Of
money in connection with this very i'm
portant deal, and the transaction is
one in which the officers of the three
banks named naturally take a good deal
of pride and satisfaction. The City
Banks cash is sufficient to take up H.
600 shares of the capital stock of the
Company, or little over one-half of
the whole, the capital being three
million in all, and, as stated, the cash
is actually on hand, in the form of cur
rency and certified checks on Chicago
and New York. The capital stock in
volved in the deal consists of 81, 10000
preferred stock and $1,100,00O common
stock.
The deal was first preached to the
mill management in a circular letter
of January 81, 1899, in which the offer
was made to take up the stock upon
this basis:-
10 shares of preferred stock @ $40. 81, 400 90
s1.625 90
TO he raid:-
First-Al cash 81, 625 co
Or. Second-Half cash............. Sl2 SO
Half preferred Stock. ST. 30
And an additional $Sl2.50 in COM
mon stock as a bonus.
Some stockholders prefer one plan of
payment, and some the other, but the
cash is provided, and all the details
arranged for the actual transfer of the
holdings and the final consummation
of the largest deal in the manufacture
ing line ever known in this vicinity.
Representatives of the three banks
named above have just returned from
Chicago, where the matter was closed
so far as providing the actual money
is concerned, and the gentlemen, Mr..
Ambrose List, of the City Bank, ]. B.
Lowe, of the Bridgeport National Bank,
and Wilbur Tallman. of the Bellaire
National Bank, have just returned. One
of the checks received by the City
Bank calling for upwards of 100000,
is, perhaps, the largest single check
ever handled by local bank. The sum
of $200,000 was received in actual cur
rency, also, by this bank, by express.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use witt
 out a Failure.

The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in child subject to that disease it may be taken as sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thou sands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single in- stance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such record-twenty-five years constant use without failure. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.

The evidence of this fact ( It's in it's increased circulation and business. It has conducted funeral obsequies over three competitors started for the ostensible purpose of downing Reppy," and can always be relied on in further emergencies. The eight years of it's vigorous life are sufficient proof of the fact that it has come to stay. and while it will welcome legiti- mate competition, it proposes to make it decidedly warm for vindictive and spiteful opposition that is never in favor of anything for the public good, but is always seeking to "down" somebody. By this it does not mean to transcend the limits of decent and respectable journalism. It never has indulged in billipgsgate or mud-sling- ing, nor does it propose to, preferring 70 settle personal matters outside the columns of 9 newspaper. It will con- tinue as heretofore to regard official acts as matter open to public criti- cism, and if an officer is too thin-skin- ned to submit complacently, he has the privilege of refusing to run for QAice, There is no other recourse.

catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect com bination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testi- monials, free.

IT will hardly be believed that the Governor of Arizona, while in Washing ton recently, used his influence with the Secretary of the Interior to pre- vent an appropriation for the San Carlos dam, designed to store water for the use of five thousand starving Indians on the Saca ton reservation, yet such is the news that came to Flor ence this week from gentleman high in authority in the government service. The TRIBUNE refuses to believe that Governor Murphy has gone crazy, and hence places no credenee in the report. A chief executive who is so narrow minded and short-sighted as to oppose such self-evident proposition for the betterment of a people would be de- serving and would undoubtedly re-
 ceive the contempt and execration of
 every man, woman and child in the territory, and Oakes doesn t want that.

To Reclaim the Desert.
From the Phoerax Rutsrnris.

From the Phoenix Rnterprise.l
 One delegate in Congress has intro duced biu which carries an appropri- atiou of s1 ,000, ,000 for the construction of a reservoir near San Carlos, the water to be used on the Pima Indian reservation and on hundred thousand Neres of land adjacent. Should this become law the entrance wedge will have been started towards establishing government reservoirs. Reclamation of the arid lands means much for the west and especially for Arizona. Every citizen in the territory should assist our delegate in his efforts to secure the passage of this measure. With the establishment of one reservoir, the feasibility of the scheme will be ap- parent to all.

use. Then the stored waters will be loosened, but to add more greeuery, more wealth, to the dryest places in America. Arizona wants the national government to build these dams to store the water, but if the fog-stricken tax payers of the east shall object, the people of Arizona will do this for them selves, as they have done many thing oefore-by their own might. When it is done they will be justly proud of their accomplishment and will ask odds of no man, or no government.
