for the proper license at their hands
This being the case and the permits
are granted, M~oundsville will have sa-
looms conducted in the same old man
ner as in large cities and with the usual
protection.
Commencing tomorrow evening
Charles Mortimer, supported by a very
capable company, will open a three
nights engagement at the Opera House.
A change of play will be made each
evening, it being Mr.. Mortimer's desire
to have our people see three of his
pieces during his stay here. The open
ing piece is the beautiful society drama,
Hearts Of Gold" which has never
been seen in this city. Numerous spe-
cialties will be introduced between each
act, the comedy work of the members
of his company being especially good.
Seats for the company are now selling
at Rogers's drug store.

The work of drilling in the No. 8 oil
well on the Mccarthy farm has been
delayed for several days on account of
a fishing job, which the drillers had to
contend with. The hole is clear now,
however, and the well will be into the
pay sand about the middle of the week.
Early yesterday morning a lamp used
in the incubator for raising chickens
at John Henrettea Jr.'s home exploded,
almost setting fire to the building. AS
it was the room was filled with smoke,
which awoke the inmates of the house,
who extinguished the blaze without any
damage being done except scorching
the paint off the walls.
The term of the present chief of the
fire department ends with the close of
this month. and from the talk of the
members of the departments Mr.. Nc
Elroy will be reelected again. Two of
the companies have already endorsed
him for another term, and the others
will follow suit. Mr.. McElroy has
proven himself a very faithful and cap
able chief at the head of this depart
ment, and is well liked by every men,
Der of the companies. He should by all
means be given the place again. for
the success of our department is largely
due to his efforts. On more than one
occasion he has gone down in his own
pocket for money to keep up the fire
companies, and the same car be said
of many of the boys nov serving as
firemen. Our department will soon be
on an equal footing with many Of the
other cities. Two new hose houses will
soon be finished, which will afford much
better comforts for the fireman. The
houses were badly needed. and it is to
be hoped that at some future date more
will be done for the boys, for they de-
serve all they get.
