Shriners Attention.

The Shriners of Circleville and vi
cinity have arranged for a grand ex-
cursfon to the grandest old town in the
state. In accordance with their arrange
ments made and provided will reach
here Sunday morning, May 21st. The
plan as we are informed is that they
will come from Circleville to Zanes-
Vile Saturday afternoon, where they
will take a six o'clock dinner at the
Clarendon hotel and then take boat
which it is arranged will be in waiting
which will convey them to this city,
where they will spend the day in
looking around and enjoying them
selves.
1t Is suggested that the local Shrin-
ers find out more about the matter and
be in readiness to welcome them to the
city and show them good time gen.
orally. 1t is understood that there will
be about fifty of the original ones who
are coming from Circleville and they
will no doubt be accompanied by sew
eral friends as guests for the occasion.

The City of Pittsburg.

The fact that sheriff's posse was
awaiting the arrival of the big side
wheeler City of Pittsburg, on her re-
turn Tuesday morning from her south
ern trip has been the theme of CONVEX
sation in many place since the fact
became known and that she did not
stop here. 1t seems that there is a
difference of opinion between the boil
er makers who furnished her boilers
and the owners as to the payment of a
bill claimed by the Loiler makers. The
necessary papers were gotten out Tues
day afternoon and placed in the hands
of the sheriff, who with some deputies
waited all night for her to arrive. In
some manner unknown to those most
concerned she was informed while at
Parkersburg or some other point down
the river that they were waiting for
her and when she came up she landed
her Marietta passengers at the Will
Jamestown landing and then stood
away up the river for Pittsburg with
out even saying "how d do to- the
wharfboat here The officers waited
in vain for her to land. The account
the boiler works claim is something
like $2,7O0.

A Hand Injured.

Councilman b. Eveleigh, of the First
Ward, is suffering with a sore hand,
which was caused by an accident that
might have been much worse than 1t
proved. On Monday evening he had
taken bucket of paste and started
down to Dysle's to do some paper
hanging, when man came along driv-
ing team which belongs in the sta
BILE of Holdren C Davis with a light
wagon. Mr.. Eveleigh asked to ride
down town with him, which request
was readily granted. He set the buck
ct OF paste in the wagon and started
to get into the wagon himself, when
the horses suddenly started to run and
threw him over the seat. He got
Strengthened up and turned around,
when the driver dropped the lines and
jumped, letting the horses go as they
would. Mr.. Eveleign tried to get out
of the wagon by climbing back over
the seat and working his way to the
rear emu vi Che IIS 81 he coulu urop
off, but before he had time to do this,
the horses had veered to one side of
the road and brought the wagon up
against telephone pole. The harness
broke and the horses went on dowr
the street. The wagon was violently
upset and in turning over caught Mr.
Evelelgh's, right hand and mashed it
severely, mafSng itsyery sore and will
cause him to. rest 1t for some time.

Without Respect,

Some men become so far sunken in
morals that they seem to have no re-
spect either for themselves or anyone
else. "A shocking example Of one of
these human brutes was given to those
who happened to be about the river
Tuesday. A couple had come up the
river on the little packet running be-
tween here and Parkersburg, and, 1t is
reported that the man had been ElTiniS
ing all the way from Parkersburg
while on the way. They waited at the
wharfboat for the Barnsdall to take
them further up the river, and while
they were waiting there he regaled
himself frequently with the bottle he
carried with him. They had been sit
for some time when he concluded to go
down stairs. He met a man whom he
knew coming up the stairway Ad-
dressing him with an oath he asked
him his name, giving as a reason for
asking him that he wanted to intro
duce him to his wife. He used several
very profane words in the statement,
and when he finally found out the
mans name he took him Dack up to
the waiting room and introduced his
wife as my old woman" Afterward
they had gone aboard the Barnsdall
and were occupying a seat on the for
ward part of the upper deck when he
pulled off his shoes and curled up in
the seat to take it easy, seemingly per-
fectly oblivious to the fact that he was
crowding his wife nearly off the seat.
Such things go to show that there has
been something lacking in the train
ing of the man, although all kinds of
good training might have been wasted,
as the seed might have fallen on bar
rem soil. Such instances of vulgarity
are by no means so rare as one would
think, but it is to be noped they will
| soon become obsolete

that there was a well struck in the vi

ever at Chesterhill the well which
we reported yesterday morning as a
good one, is located on the Metzger
farm, and when the drill reached the
sand last Saturday the pressure of gas
was so heavy that it became necessary
in the interest of safety to shut down
and move the boiler. The we'll was
drilled in Monday and shows up for
the pest well in the field. 1t is just
