The Slot Machines.

The slot machine question then came
UP in the second branch in the form of
a motion by Mr.. Klleen, Of the Sixth
ward, that the Warehouse resolution,
tabled several weeks ago, be taken from
the table. The motion was seconded
BY DR.: Megrail. The resolution was as
follows;
Resolved, That the chief Of police ana
his deputies be and they are hereby re-
1iiired 10 enforce section Is OF the city or
dinRnceg on Offenses as long as SAID or

IAN ANI.BRIIISH RESOLUTION
Introduced By Councilman scallsy
Tabled in the First Branch
without Discussion.
REFUND ORDINANCE PASSED
Unanimously in Both Branches, and
the Election win Occur on Sat
urday, February "a.

A special meeting OF the city coun-
eli. held last night for the transaction
OF general business, was the occasion
Of attracting an all but full attendance
In the second branch, the only absentee
being MIR. Gaus, OF the Sixth ward. The
unusual interest manifested by council
men was due to the knowledge that
representatives OF the church fedora
tlon would be on hand, and that an
other effort would be made to take
from the table the waterhouse resolu-
ton, tabled some time ago by the
branch, and which calls on the city Of
flcials to enforce the anti-gambllng or
dInance. especially with reference to
the slot machine. This matter was
brought up toward the close Of the ses-
sion at the instance of councllmen Kill
leen and Megrail. and the branch voted
to keep the resolution on the table on
very close vote. Is to y. The anti
slot machine campaigners claim this
only means temporary defeat, and that
other efforts can be made to bring the
resolution from its resting place and
pass 1t. The councilmen who voted the
other way, on the other hand, claim
that the Kindelberger resolution to re-
consider The vote by which the resOlu-
tlon was kept on the table places the
Waterhousc resolution where 1t cannot
be touched again. After the session of
council one of the ministers said: "Ev-
cry saIoonkeeper who is member Of
council was present; they will have to
come this way in the future to prevent
action by council along the line we
desire, for we Will keep up the fight"
In the first branch feature Of the
proceedings was the introduction by Mr.,
scalley of resolution Of sympathy
with the Beers In South AfrIcn. The
resolution was defeated on a decisive
vote, councilmen holding the opinion
that it is not matter that concerns
the city of Wheeling or It's council.
The refund ordinance, with the pro-
visions Of which the public has been
informed recently. was passed unani-
mously In both branches of council.
There Is 10 effort in connection with
this refund to inject politics, and as the
provisions OF the measure are SO OBJ
vIously to the advantage of the city 1t
Is thought that 1t will secure a good
round majority at the special election.
which is - be held on the last satur-
day in February, the 2lth.

ushore Acresn Coming.

1t has been clearly demonstrated by
James A. Herne that play almost
plotless, and depending entirely upon
a portrayal OF that which IS real with
out dramatic effects, as in the ordinary
plays, tan be written with success,
"shore Acres" is dramatic sermon
Withou. a word of religion In It The
story is that of the lowly the every
day life OF poor farmers and fishermen
living on the coast of Maine. 1t is a
psychic study for the thinker a lesson
for the thoughtless, and the impression
made upon the spectator by this mas
terpiece will last a lifetime. Shore
Acres'' is in every way truly great
NAV. and It's success Is Justly deserved.
A complete scenic production Of this
ideal work will be given at the Opera
House next Tuesday, February 6. and
the engagement also includes the novel
feature of special matinee.

EIeht Additional Policeman.

The police committee reported a reso-
luton for the addition Of eight men to
the police force. The resolution states
the lengthy hours Of the present force
and the inability OF the department tn
cover the city with police protection as
all hours Of the day and night. The
resolution provides for the appoint
ment Of eight additional patrolmen and
instructs the finance committee to pro-
vide the necessary funds in It's annual
appropriation ordinance. President
Maxwell feared the resolution as it
stood was irregular on motion by Mr.
Megrail the resolution was referred to
the finance committee for favorable re-
port at the next meeting Of council.

what Happened to Jones'" Is the at
traction at the Opera House, Saturday,
matinee and night, February 3. It is a
catchy title and one calculated to
arouse curiosity. The lines are said to
be unusually bright and witty and the
humor flows in a steady stream during
the entire progress of the play. Jones
Is a drummer selling hymn books in
slow towns and playing cards In fast
ones. While attending prize fight
the place is raided by the police, and
Jones makes his escape with a musty
professor Of anatomy, Ebenezer Goodly,
who has been induced to attend the
fight by his prospective son-ln-law. who
has decidedly sporty procllyities. Jones
hobs up serenely In the home OF Good
ly, and refuses 70 leave, for fear OF the
police. Matters become complicated,
but the drummer IS equal to the emef-
gency, and the play ends with the
knight OF the grip undisputed master OF
the situation.

A WORLD POWER.
More Glorious Than All The
Empires of Earth,

For more than a century this
nation has been a world power,
For ten decades it has been the
most potent influence in the
world. Not only has it been
world power, but it has done more
to affect the politics Of the human
race than all other nations com
bined. Because our declaration Of
independence was promulgated
others have been promulgated.
Because the patriots Of 1776 fought
for liberty others have fought for
IL; because our constitution was
adopted others have been adopted.
The growth of the principle of self
government, planted on American
soil, has been the overshading
political fact of the ninteenth
century. 1t has made this nation
conspicuous among the nations Of
the earth, and has given it a place
in history such as no other nation
ever enjoyed. Nothing has been
able to check the onward march of
this idea. [ am not willing that
this nation shall cast aside the
omnipotent weapon of truth to
sieze again the weapons Of phi hysical
warfare. ! would not exchange
the glory Of this republic for the
glory Of all the empires that have
risen and fallen since time began.

Kitchener Yields 20 n Boer Girl.
While Lord Kitchener was engaged
In suppressing the Prieska rebellion he
ordered the destruction Of certain
farmhouse. Not seeing any signs OF his
orders being carried out, he rode over
with his STAFF and found an interest
ing situation. In the doorway of the
doomed farm stood q pretty Dutch
girl, her hands clutching the doorposts
and her eyes flashing fire from beneath
her dainty sunbonnet. The Irish serg-
cant In charge Of the party of destrue-
tion was vaiuly endeavoring 10 per-

maiden turned deaf ear, and a dead
lock prevailed. Kltchener's sharp
whats this?" put a climax to the
scene. The girl evidently guessed that
this was the dreaded chief OF staf,
and her lips trembled In spite Of her
self. Kitchener gazed sourly at her,
standing bravely though tearfully
there, and turned TO his military secre-
tary. "Put down." he growled, "that
the commanders orders with reference
TO the destruction OF R,ghtman's farm
could not be carried out, owing to un-
expected opposition, Forward, gentle
