meeting OF ScOLcnmeH was nei0
at the Mcclure House last evening, for
the purpose of making preliminary ar
rangements to observe the one hun
dred and forty-irst anniversary of the
birth of Robert Burns, the Scottish
poet. The meeting was called to order
at SIS o'clock, after which a temper
airy organization was effected by the
election of G. W. Greig as chairman
and ]. l. Diamond as secretary.
Robert Burns wa born near the
town of Ayr, Scotland, January Is,
1859, and as the 25th inst. will mark
the one hundred and forty-arst ami
versary Of his birth, it Is the inten-
ton of the Scotchmen Of this city and
vicinity to appropriately celebrate the
occasion. Among those present were
Allen H. Rowley. Harry d. Rodgers
Charles P. Porter, d. w. Fyfe, T.
Young. Thomas Wallace. Duncan Nc
Ra, John McFedries, Thomas Nc
Cough, John Curtis, William Kidd, Mr..
McKeller, G.. ". Greig, j. L. Diamond,
James Sellars, Peter Boyd, John
Aiken, William Kennedy, H. G. Creigh-
ton and S. B. Mckee.
After the election Of officers sug-
gestions were in order, and consider
able interest was manifested by those
present in the movement 1t was
unanimously decided to hold an enter
tainment and banquet Messrs. D. w.
Fyfe, F. H. Mcneil, John McFedries, G.
K. Greig and J.. L. Diamond were then
appointed to compose a committee to
make all the necessary arrangements
for the affair. The committee was
given full power to select a place, is
sue invitations, secure speakers and
prepare a suitable musical and liter
airy programme for the celebration.
Before the close of the meeting it was
also decided to organize a society, to
be composed of the Scottish residents
here and in neighboring points in the
near future, and a committee composed
of Messrs. F. H. Mcneil, A. H. Rowley
and Thomas Young was chosen to
prepare a constitution and set of by
laws for the permanent organization.
1t is very likely that of the
hotels will be decided upon later as
! the place for holding the celebration,
and among other things the exercises
will consist of addresses by prominent
Scotchmen of Wheeling and other
places, Scottish songs and Scottish
dances, including the Highland
Filing" 'Keelum Callum," Flowers
of Edinburgh" and "Tullich Gorum.'
All people of Scottish birth or descent
residing here and elsewhere who may
wish to take part in the affair, are
requested to send their respective ad-
dresses to Secretary Diamond in order
| to learn of the arrangements in detail.
1t is the first movement of the kind
that has ever been attempted in
| Wheeling, and judging from the inter-
est taken by Scotchmen generally in
the proposition, it will no doubt meet
with much success. The general COM
mittee will meet again on the evening
of the oath inst. to receive reports
and perfect the arrangements. The
next meeting, it is anticipated, will be
very largely attended and the celebra-
ton promises to be n of the most
interesting events ever occurring in
the city.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system, and stop fermentation of undi'
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is al
they took when feeling dull and bat
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's Au
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by deal
ers in all civilized countries.
