AUGUSTANA NOTES.

Mrs. Genevieve Clark Wilson, the
celebrated Chicago soprano, will soon
visit Rock Island and assist in the
rendering of Handel's Messiah" by
the Handel Oratorio society of Angus
tana college. The superb quality of
Mrs. Wilson'S voice and her thorough
knowledge of what is important in
technique and Interpretation, makes
her one of the most sought for So
prano singers in this country. That
this concert will be treat to all who
are musicallv inclined, and that it will
surpass anything heretofore attempt
ed in our twin-cities, in the line OF a
sacred concert, is assured us by the
fact that the chorus consists OF some
of the best talent in the cities, and
that the soloist, the above mentioned.
Mrs. Wilson, stands high in the es-
TEEN of those audiences that attend
the sacred concerts given Ivy the
Apollo Chorus at the Auditorium
of Chicago. audiences than which
there are, probably. none more critical.
The college band has, under the
able leadership of &. l.. Crantz, adj
vanced so that now it ventures to
offer to the public an entertainment
which, it is hoped, will not deceive
the expectations even of the most eN-
acting. This band has arranged to
give concert April 10, and will on
this occasion try to accomplish, ut
least in part, the very difficult task

of rendering n popular program with
4 classical air.
Yesterday afternoon passion song
services were held in the college
chapel. on which occasion the chapel
choir, in praiseworthy manner, rem
dered selections from Handel's Mes
siah," blessed Jesus, Fount of Mer-
cy," by Dvorack, and Ave Verum"
by Mozart. The services were very
impressive and were conducive to
meditation.
Last Wednesday evening the MEM
bers of the chapel choir were enter
tanned by the Misses Peterson and
Sward ut the residence of Miss Sophia
Hult. Besides the chapel choir. Prof.
\. ID. Bodfors and William Ekblad, n
graduate of Augustana, now
medic, were present.

rarely leaves her with strength or in

The strain upon most women's

One of the earliest and one of the
most infallible indications of failing
nervous strength is the inability to
sleep soundly.
No fact is more clearly csta blished
than that sleep repairs the tired ncr-
vous tissues and that the loss of
sleep deranges the health more quickly
and more seriously than any other
privatiOn the body can suffer. The
great effort, then, of every poor
sleeper should he TO strengthen the
nerves. The fact that hundreds of
men and women in every community

story of the invigorating effect of this

cases is shown in the following letter
from Mrs. Fannie West, president of
the South Side Relief society, of Chi
cago. The letter is dated Dec. II,
1898:
1--WE feel very glad to acknowledge
the fine qualities of Paine's celery
compound. 1t is the best remedy we
know of for building up the nervous

Back OF nervousness, sleeplcssness
and many of the peculiar ailments of
women is poverty of the blood. Pale
ness, thinness of body and weakness
are evidences of poor blood. In some
cases palpitation of the heart is com
planned of, and when the poverty is
greatest, the lips are pallid and the
tongue almost cOlorlcSs.
In these cases of anmmia if Paine's
celery compound is used the gain
from day to day is plainly noticeable.
Its tonic effect in renewing the blood
and restoring the strength has been
little short of miraculous in cases of
extreme emaciation and nervous pros
tration.
If n woman feels that she is losing
ground in weight and strength she
should set about increasing the blood
supply at once with the aid of Paine's
celery compound.
Give this greatest of all remedies
trial.

The Crossing at Lower Benwood.

BENWOOD, w. Va, October 10, 1899.
To the Editor of the Register.
Dear Sir:-I notice through the pa
pers that our Council has been called
together to meet tonight to protest
against the franchise wanted by the
Moundsville, Benwood & Wheeling
Railway Company, giving them permits
sion to do away with the crossing at
lower Benwood, and allowing them to
go up Kentucky Heights to Sixth or
Seventh street. | am very curious to
see what class of citizens will attend
this meeting for the purpose of trying
to influence Council against granting
their petition. For one, l am anxious
to see the change made, and / have
marveled that Council itself has not
taken the matter up in the interest OF
the travelling public and compelled them
to remAre the crossing, but as the COM
pany HAS made the move, | hope that
Council will be men enough to not al
low a few people, who may p%erchance
lose an opportunity to make a sale now
and then, and who for the sake of a few
dollars would jeopardize human life,
to influence them, and as one of a great
many citizens of BenwoOd, sincerely
trust that Council will grant their re-
quest and grant it speedily, and do
away with this crossing, which has al
ways been a menace to life.
BENWOOD CITIZEN.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-10-20

The number of conventions and other
large assemblages of strangers in this
city have caused frequent calls by solic-
iting committees upon local business
men. Merchants realize the value of
such meetings to them, IN a pecuniary
way, and have always contributed lib
orally. Nevertheless, the frequent calls
have become a source of annoyance TO
some, and solicitors testify that in many
instances contributions have been reluc-
family made.
All this has given an impetus to
the movement suggested some time ago
to organize what might be termed a
Merchants Exchange, in Wheeling.
The Exchange would in no way conflict
with the Chamber Of Commerce. but
would rather supplement its work, and
be a sort of auxiliary body. The Ex-
change, if conducted upon the plans out
lined t a Register reporter yesterday,
by one of its projectors, would be more
comprehensive, in that it would en-
brace many or all of the merchants
doing small business. and any others
who might be interested in its objects
and possess sufficient public spirit and
business enterprise to become connected
with it.
The movement is being quietly talked
about now" said the gentleman referred
to. "and you may expect something tan
gible to develop within the next few
weeks. The object of the exchange
will be primarily to encourage en-
~terprises which will bring strangers in
to the city, and be of pecuniary benefit
to local jobbers and retailers. 1t would
have a standing fund, made up from
contributions at stated periods. to be
expended in bringing conventions and
large gatherings Of every character to
this city. 1t would accomplish this end
in a systematic way, instead Of through
spasmodic efforts as in the past, which
have always been followed by a period
of reaction. | would favor the employ
ment of a permanent secretary, to con-
duct correspondence with committees
of political parties, officers of secret
societies and others, explaining to them
the advantage of Wheeling as a con-
vention city, furnishing any other in
formation which might be asked. all
with a view, as | stated before. Of
bringing strangers into the city. There
is no use in talking about the benefit
to be derived from the presence of this

had been given by a Justice OF The
Peace. and to which were attached
costs amounting to ten dollars. In
this particular interest, exemption
papers were not filed.
A gentleman who had connection
with this case is authority for the
statement that it is but one of many
similar cases. He states that a young
attorney had hunted up a large number
of small accounts which he has taken
for collection, and that similar action
will be taken in all.

transient population. Any merchant
will testify to that.
Now, for example. the Exchange
might try to bring the State conven-
tons Of both political parties to Wheel
ing next year, and the Congressional
conventions as well. If the body were
organized and in operation, that work
might be started in the very neal future.
AS a matter of course, there would be
infinite possibilities when o come to
consider the usefulness of such an Ex-
change, and l have been gratiaed to
note the general favor with which the
idea is considered by all who have been
talked to on the subject"

In the Role of a Detective-Causes Arrest
to Ne Made.
A messenger boy named Deegan, had
his attention attracted by the sus-
picious conduct Of the companion of a
drunken German, in the rear OF Swift
& Cos beef house, neal the B. & O.
depot yesterday morning. The man re-
lieved his victim of all the valuables
upon his person. and later walked up
ChapIine street under the impression
that he had not been observed. Dee
gan, however, was no N his trail. He
rushed up to the City Building very
excitedly, and informed Lieut.. Devin-
ney of what had happened. The Lieu
tenant arrested the robber on Chap
line street, and later Officer Buckley
secured his victim al the B. & o.
depot.
The robber gave his name as Richard
Nerney, his home as Sandusky, o.,
and claims to be an old soldier. His
victim was too drunk to give his name.

fore Justice Greer, and the messenger
boy was the principal witness at the

for thirty days.
At the hearing. Nerney's victim gave
