ISLAND COUNTRY Club.
A LOCAL INSTITUTION CHARTERED
UNDER THE Laws OF WEST
VIRGINIA
WILL BUY ONE OF THE SISTERS
So 1t is Reported, and Fit 1t Up as
n Camping Ground for Members
and Their Families During the
Summer Season-An Option said to
Have Been Given ON the Island 10
Other Parties.

The Registers kilograms from Char
lesion last night stated that the Secre-
tary of State has issued a charter to
the Island Country Club, of Wheeling,
with an authorized capital of $50. 600.
The incorporators are F. H. LANCE, c.
w. Welty. H. L. Wheat and ]. B. Hand
Ian. The object of the institution is
to encourage out door sports and ath-
letics
The gentlemen who are interested in
the club have proceeded very quietly
in the development of their plans, the
last meeting having been held at the
MeLure House few nights since. 1t
is understood that the plan is to pur-
chase the upper Sisters Island, located
in the Ohio river about four miles
above the city. The Island is owned
by Prof. A. NJ Stevenson, formerly
principal of the Madison public school.
1t embraces about seventeen acres and
is seldom covered by high water. 1t
has a substantial dwelling and barn, a
splendid orchard, which has proved
very remunerative to it's owner, and
is all under cultivation. There is an
abundance of shade and many excel
lent walks.
1t is understood that the Island
Country Club stockholders propose if
they acquire the island to make a
number of Improvements and to gem
orally equip it as summer resort for
themselves and their families. 1t is
admirably adapted to this purpose and
possesses the advantage of being but a
short distance from the city.
There are other Wheeling parties af-
ter Prof Stevenson's island, however,
and they claim to have an option upon
the property. A well known young
attorney is connected with this move
ment. The plan is to secure the prop
erty and organize a company to make
extensive improvements with a view
to making the island public resort
during the summer season.
The projectors have inspected the
island and have considered the ques-
ton of facilities for reaching it. If
there is an insufficient stage of water
in the river patrons could be trans
ferred by ferry from the Panhandle
road or from the proposed street car
line when it is completed.
The resort would be equipped with a
hotel for boarders, dancing platform,
etc. The beach is said to be admirably
adapted to bathing. The projectors
have also taken into consideration the
fact that the island would furnish a
solution to the Sunday base ball ques-
ton. Their plans are not yet in shape
to be fully divulged, however.

GOLD DEMOCRATS

IN Ohio VIII support Bryan and the
Twelfth District VIII Again Elect
John j. Lentz to Congress.
Theodore Leonard, of Columbus, o.,
who has been spending several days in
Bellaire, was seen by Register report
er yesterday. Mr.. Leonard is a heavy
stakeholder and director of the C. H.
V. & S. railroad, and is also interested
in several other roads. He stated that
he was not connected with the new pro-
posed railroad from Medina to Bellaire.
but that it was quite a plausible road.
On this subject he did not care to talk
From this he drifted into politics Mr..
Leonard has taken an active part in
State politics for several years, but
stated that he always kept in close
touch with the issues. As for the Gold
Democrats in Ohio he talked quite
freely, saying he thought the majority
of them would vote for Bryan, in fact
almost all of them. Those he had talk
ed with greatly admired the Kansas
City platform, and had no fear of silver,
and that other issues of more import
anee had overcome it. and thought the
platform true American one worthy
of the true American vote
AS to the Twelfth district, which is
his home, including the counties of
Franklin and Fairfield, he said the ad-
ministration would try to use all
their available force to down Con-
gresham J. ]. Lentz. the Democratic
member. and that the Republicans mad
nominated Emmett Tompkins, bright
man, but was not the stumper I,entz
was. and could not carry the people:
Although Tonpkins was a fiowery
speaker, he could not touch Lentz when
it came down to genuine argument
Lentz will win but viii have a hard
fight, but that is where he always
comes out best. as Lentz was a fighter
and feared no one, and had made his
mark in Congress, and was the leading
member from Ohio il. Congress. Fur
Their, about the gold Democrats in this
Twelfth district. he thought they
would be back in line, and tha- he
hoped Democracy would win, although
he had not voted in 1896. evidently
then not in accordance with the Chi
cago platform, but from his CONVEX
sations he is surely back in line ready
to do his duty.

The English Khaki Tunic.

The khaki tunic has two large out
side breast-pockets, each with flap.
These are really double pockets, for
they are subdivided so as to hold a
store of reserve ammunition in addi-
ton TO the handkerchief and any small
personal belongings. The ordinary
supply of ammunition is of course car
ried in the bandolier, which is of brown
leather to match the khaki. There are
also two small shit PoeIrote. One
holds a card with the name, number.
and statement as to the next of kin of
the wearer, the other supply of lint
for first aid" The old serge tunic,
which the khaki has ousted, was de-
signed to serve for either home or for
eign service. But the two outside peck
cts were in the skirt, instead of the
breast And the flaps were sewn down so
that the pockets could not be used. The
two pockets on the inside, for the card
and the lint, existed in the same rudi-
mentary condition. 1t was an easy
matter, however, to bring them into
use, when on active service, by simply
ripping up the stitches.-Good Words.
