Getting Into Shape.

Kid Wanko, of Washington, Pa,
who is a favorite with local sports, is
training hard here at the Unity Rod
and Gun Clubs rooms for his go Tues
day night at Marietta with Jack Bing-
ham, of Huntington. Wanko, always
a clever fighter, has improved much
since he was seen in flstic battle here
and some good sport will be given the
Puritanical Buckeyes Tuesday.
After the Marietta affair Wanko has
two fights on docket. One is a ten
round match at his home and the other
an eight round match which will take
place at Wheeling. Both are with un-
knowns.-Parkersburg Journal.

The Passion Play of Oberammergau.

The Passion Play of Oberammer-
has been since 1884 the greatest his
torical miracle play in the worlds his
tory. This great play was witnessed
in 1890 by DR.. ]. ]. Lewis, then of
Boston, now Of Chicago, and, owing to
his profound sympathy with the story
Of Christ made such deep impression
upon him that he concluded to give
the world the complete story of this
wonderful miracle-play. Oberammer-
gau is but small town, of perhaps
1900 inhabitants situated about or 10
miles from Munich, Upper Bavaria. 1t
is celebrated for the decennial per-
formance on twelve consecutive Sun
days in the summer season of a play
representing the passion, death and
resurrection of Christ, in which $50
actors participate, besides about 80
members of the orchestra and chorus.
At this time the little town swells to
a city of 10000 inhabitants or more.
The. theatre will accommodate almost
that number. The performances con-
tinue from a. m. to p. m. and have
continued regularly since their origin
in 1884.
Or. Lewis will render the story of
this remarkable play at the Audiaor-
ium Thursday evening, Feb .23, begin
ming at O'Clock. His lecture Is su-
perbly illustrated by about rs magnif-
lcent dissolving views. Tickets on
sale at Corner Drug Store.

To Dust the Argand.

The detail of The work OF Attorney
General Monnett in going after the
Standard has taken on somewhat a
new phase. He proposes now to get af-
ter the Argand Refining Company, of
this city, and he will set about endeav-
oring to close that company up so far
as their doing busines sin Ohio, as witt
ness the following telegram from Co
lumbus to the Enquirer of Sunday:
Columbus, O., Feb. 18.-Eearly this
evening Attorney General Monnett filed
in the supreme court suit to oust the
Argand Refining Company, of Mariet-
TIA, from doing business I'M the state.
The Argand is one of the affifiated
companies of the Standard Oil Trust,
and the action brought against it Is in
the me of the fight made against the
trust by the Attorney General.
He alleges in his petition that the
company should be ousted because of
nonuse of its charter because 1t Is as
sistlng in maintaining the Standard
Oil Trust and is therefore obnoxious
to public policy, and because its chief
Offices have been removed from Mari
eta to 26 Broadway, New York.
The Argand Company was the last
of the Independent companies ia stand
out against the Standard, and only
sold to the officers of the trust last
December
The price paid is alleged to be $1,000
per month for the next ten years. I'm
mediately upon obtaining possession
of the plant the Standard closed il
down. According to the sworn testi-
mony of the late s. p. Peabody and Ira
G.. Rawn, both of the B. & o. S. w
railroad, the Argand sold the lubricat
ing oil used by that railroad, which
was practically the only road of any
importance in the United States whlct
did not deal with the Standard. Hence
the desire of the Standard to shu'
down the Argand Company.

New Oil Fields in Ohio.

Hiram A. Snyder, the discoverer of
oil at Sclo, says that the greatest oil
fields in the worlds history are about
to be developed in Harrison and JEFF
ferson, and parts of Tuscarawas, Car
roll, Belmont, Coshocton, Guernsey,
Musklngum and Perry counties, Ohio.
He says men who are after oil in this
section are on the right track. Sny-
der is an old Pennsylvania oil man and
he declares that the pebble rock, known
as the 620-foot Pennsylvania sand,
runs through the central part of Co
lumbiana county.
In speaking of the direction in which
this oil producing sand runs, Snyder
has said that If you will take map of
Pennsylvania and Ohio and place a
straight edge upon 1t from Oil City,
Pa, to Corning, Perry county, Ohio,
you have what, in his opinion, is the
new oil belt, as evidenced up to the
present time. 1t may extend further
than explored. Net to speak of
branches, this belt will show a vary
ing width OF seven miles and less.
There will be breaks in it, of course,
for oil can't be found everywhere, but
as general estimate there is no safer
conjecture than this.-Steubenville

Dice Were Controlled b. a Magnet,

Among the battered fiotsam and Jet
sam that had accumulated in a second
hand store not great distance from
Jackson square is shabby round ta-
BILE with a curious secret, and, no
doubt, a still more curious history.
The top was once covered with bill
Hard cloth, which now is worn to tat
ters, and discloses a steel plate set in
the center, and perhaps ten inches
square. The whole top is loose and
can be removed, revealing an interior
space containing horseshoe magnet
wound with wire and connected with
an armature very much like that of an
ordinary telegraph instrument A
close examination shows an insulated
wire running down one of the legs to
small knob or button, protrudlng on
the outside. When the top is in place
the steel plate rests directely over the
magnet. This strange device is ex-
planned clearly enough by its present
owner. 1T is dice table," he said,
"on which lot of money has been
won. When it was in order there was
good sized battery inside, connected
with the magnet. When the knob on
the leg was pressed the current was
turned on, and that made the steel
plate magnetic. The dice they used
with it had small metal disks on one
face, and as long as the current was on
hey naturally fell with that side down
when the knob was released they
would fall any way they chanced to
come, so that all that was necessary
for the operator to do was to keep his
knee on the button, and he could alb
solutely control his play"-New Or

LARGE
And Enthusiastic Meeting Of the
Board of Trade Last Night

A special meeting of the Board OF
Trade was called for Monday evening
to consider various questions, and es-
peclally the question relative to the
appropriation for the Ohio river dam
to be located below The city. +
A very large number were present
and much enthusiasm was manifested
by everyone present.
The committee on Rivers and Har-
bors reported, also the Court House
committee. After these reports were
heard, the Board took up the matter of
having the appropriation for the Mari
etta dam. which was cut out by the re-
cent action of the Senate, restored and
looking to that end the following gem
tlemen, j. II. Grafton, ID. B. Torpy, W..
w. Mills, Il. II. Alderman and A. ID.
Follett, were appointed committee to
look after the interests of the city, and
to hold themselves in readiness to go
to Washington at any time it may be-
come necessary.
A great deal of interest in the sub
ject was evinced, as the people seem to
be fully alive to what it means to the
city to have The appropriation lnclud-
ed in the bill. The Board has great
hopes that the efforts of the committee
which is a strong one, will not be in
vain.

Wholesale.
One Head Was Better Than Two.

An original form of advertisement
comes from Russia, where shopkeep-
er posted THE following announce
ment: The reason why have hith-
erto been able to sell my goods SO
much cheaper than anybody else is
that am a bachelor and do not need
to make profit to maintain a wife
and children. 1t is now my duty to in
form the public that this advantage
will shortly be withdrawn, as l am
about to be married. They will,
therefore, do vel Ito make their pur-
chaSes at once at the old rate" The
result was that the run on the shop
made him sufficient cash in few days
to enable him to marry in style.

A SAD DEATH.
While Enroute Home to Her Baby
the Mother Dies on the Train.

A very sad incident occurred on the
east bound B. & o. s. w. train between
Chillicothe and Athens Monday after
noon. 1t is one of the numerous oc-
currences which goes to show what a
frail thread holds mortals to this life
and how our fondest hopes may fail Of
realization.
Some five months ago Mrs. Showal-
ter, of Sistersville, accompanied by a
sister, whose name we failed to learn,
but whose home is in Bellaire, Ohio,
left for Jacksonville, Florida, in the
hope OF improving Mrs. Showalter's
health, who was suffering from pull
monary trouble. they had remained in
Florida until last week, when they
found that she was losing strength
and decided to return home. Mrs.
Showalter seemed to think that there
was no hpe for her to get well and was
very anxious to get home to see her
six months old baby, the only child,
that she had not seen for five months,
but this last privilege was not in store
for her.
They left Florida Saturday evening
and coming home by way of Cincinnati
were on the fast train, when, after
leaving Chillicothe, she was taken very
much worse, and just before reaching
Athens she expired.
Willing hands on the train did all
that was possible to relieve her suffer
ing and to assist the sister who was SC
suddenly separated from loved one.
The husband at Sistersville was tel
egraphed to come to Parkersburg to
meet the sister and that further ar
rangements might be made.
rs Showalter's mother lives in
Parkersburg, but the sister did moi
,,now just where, and under such q
condition affairs were in very bad
shape there on the arrival of the train
but finally the relatives were located
on Spring street, and the remains ta-
ken there.

After the Ball" in Manila,

That night 1t was too hot and the
mosquitoes were too thick for any
one to work. Consequently, under the
guidance of cheerful spirit, we took
a drive. The moon came up and with
its witching light stirred our blood to
desire for adventure. The twang of a
guitar in a small nippa hut attracted
our attention. We stopped the carriage
and listened. Surely some happy soul
was singing After the Ball is Over"
We got out of the carriage, approach
ed the hut, and saw through the long
open windows of the room what SEEM
ed to We a convivlal gathering of men
and women.
"A native party" said the cheerful
spirit.
While We stood watching and listen
ing, a man came out of the hut and
said in English,
Come in"
There was nothing to do but to fol-
low. Accordingly we pushed through
the crowded anteroom and into the
packed gathering in the "parlor" 4"
Chairs were showed to the front for us
and we sat down. Before us on box,
in the middle of the room, was the
body of tiny baby dressed in white,
with white wreath about its head.
We were stunned.
"a wake, said the cheerful spirit.
Our eyes wandered wonderlngly
about the room. Above the child was
a great lamp; in the background were
the pictures Of saints. A lfthograph
OF Admiral Dewey hung on the wall.
The bereaved host smillngly passed
around cigars and native wine to the
brown men and women, who smoked
drank and chatted quietly. Again
the guitar twanged, and again it was
After The Ball is Over" not as we
heard 1t in music halls, but after the
Ball" in Tagalo, with sorrow,
with tenderness, with hope, and
finally with Joy. Still it was after
the Ball is Over" and we fdgeted
about in our chairs trying to lose
sight of the poor little bundle on the
box.
My neighbor pointed out TO me the
mother, who was sitting at the foot OF
the box, smoking stoically

Is Just as necessary for two parties in

more apt to have the best men of the

Papers were circulated Monday for
signatures, and they were most gener-
ously and generally signed.
The purport of these papers was the
organization of the Republican party
within the city, with view to going
before the people at the Spring election
with the Republican ticket.
The idea and sentiment was express
ed at the head of the paper circulated
and was as follows:
"The undersigned Republicans be-
lieve in party policy rather than per-
sonal politics in city affairs. The
magnitude of our public business calls
for the best talent, and organization,
to be used as a conservative force in
popular morals as well as in puU.ic ex-
penditures, is important. 1t is time to
declare a public policy. We are in IA
vor OF progress and economy of great
er accomplishments at less cost of
taxes; with, If possEDle better pub
lie service without multiplying public
servants; and to secure these we rec
ommend the nomination OF Republi-
can ticket in this Republican city, and
invite all Republicans to meet with us
in mass convention at the Court House
Thursday evening, February 23d, 1899,
for the purpose of naming a city tick
ct or electing delegates to a conven-
tion to be called for that purpose and
the completion of city organization.
And we pledge our encouragement and
support to such nominees and to the
policy Of nominations for this and
subsequent years by party conven-
ton"
