The Clemenceau Case.

For some reason the Auditorium was
not packed to the doors last night.
fault could not possibly be with Mr..
Newell or his strong company, for as
matter of fact this company is with
out doubt one of the best chat ever ap-
peared here, regardless of prices. Last
night this company presented the IA
nous society drama, "The Clemenceau
Case" Mr.. Newell appeared in the
character of Pierre Clemenceau, a part
just suited to him. He had the symp-
athy of his audience from the start
and at the end of the fourth and fifth
acts was greeted by great applause.
Miss Leila Fairchild as the Countess
Dabronowski, was very clever. Miss
Florence Grace, as liza, gave careful
reading of a very difficult part.
Tonight Mr.. Newell will present for
the first time in this city TIE greatez;
of romantic dramas, "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac." He has played the part OF
"CyGano" over 200 times, but never be.
fore at popular prices. The manage
merit promises us the same complete
scenic production as was used by Mr.
Newell all last season.

The Marietta Daily Leader
SATURDAY, JAN. 8. 1900.
The Picture Show.

The Photographic exhibition at the
Marietta Club, given by the Marietta
Camera Club, closed last night amid
all the glories which witness the de-
parture of great thing over six
hundred people attended the exhibition
last evening; and the attendance, all
told, was over two thousand, showing
that the institution quickly populariz-
ed itself.
The Camera Club may take a justi-
fed pride in the way the pictures were
received by the Marietta public, and
the cordial reception of this exhibit
presages a big one for next year and a
greater activity during the coming
year ON the part of the local picture
takers. The art has got such an i'm
pulse as 1t could not have otherwise
had.
No doubt the salon will be an an
nual institution, and 1t will be an in
teresting occurrence each winter. Our
opportunities to obtain pictures from
the Philadelphia Salon will be good
as there exists personal acquaintance
between the managers of that exhibi-
tion and some of our own folks.
The members of the Marietta Club
deserve great thanks for the use OF
their parlors. The rooms are fine,well
lighted, centrally located, and are just
the thing for such purposes.

Bought a Half Interest.

A sale of oil property in which the
consideration reached a large figure
was closed in this city Thursday eve
ming, and by which Mr.. Gilbert Car
ner, the well known operator, purchas-
ed of Thomas Afford one-hah inter-
est in the lease and production Of the
w. e. lyman farm, in the Jackson
Ridge development in Monroe county.
The farm contains 30 acres, has a pro
ductlon of over so barrels per day and
there are three drilling wells upon It,

of oil property in that field. Mr. Car
ner was already the possessor of a one
elgth interest in the property and his
purchase gives him the controlling In
terest.

Dry No More.

The municipal election at st. Marys,
w. Va, Thursday resulted lin the choice
of a set of officials who are supposed to
favor the opening of the town for the
liquor trade. The winning ticket had
a majority of only twenty-five votes,
showing that the fight was a strong
one.
The party who are against an open
town regard this as a bitter defeat and
will probably give up the fight against
saloons.
During the past few months st.
Marys has created sensation after SEN
sation by the war waged against the
selling OF liquor within its limits and
considerable trouble has been the re-
suit. Suit after suit has been brought
in the courts and the feeling aroused
by the fight has become very bitter.

POISON
Thrown in the Well Of Belpre
township Citizen.

An attempt was made by unknown
parties Wednesday might to poison
Sam Wilcoxen and his mother who re-
side at Cedarville, below Belpre The
method by which the attempt was
made was that Of putting paris green
in the cistern and we'll. Luckily the
presence of the poison in the water
was discovered in time to prevent SER
tous consequences.
Mr. Wilcoxen, who is farmer, went
to the cistern Tuesday morning and
drew some water, and was horrlfied to
find athlck greenish scum on the sur
face. Investigation showed that 1t was
paris green and further examination
developed the fact that the same kind
of poison had also been thrown in the
we'll.
| Sheriff McCallister was notified, but
being i'll was unable to go down until
Friday morning. He stated to "a Leader
reporter on his return that he had
been unable to find any clue to the i'd
entity of the perpetrator of the das-
tardly deed.
The people OF that neighborhood are
highly incensed at this attempted muir
der and are doing all in their power to
bring the miscreant to justice. Some
one evidently has standing grudge
against Wilcoxen, as two years ago his
barn and contents was burned by an
incendlary, entadling a big loss, and not
long ago some one shot and killed a
Registered calf belonging to him. Will
coxen says that he can and will put the
authorities on the track of the man
who seems intent on the destruction Of
his property and life.
Wilcoxen is about twenty-five years
Of age, unmarried and lives with his
mother The neighbors say that there
is no cause for his having an enemy in
the world.

CHRISTMAS CANDIES
Take in Time, TOIu-Pine.
Ward Nichols Block

That tickling cough will kill in time
If not knocked off with Tolu-Pine.
For hacking coughs that irritate
Tolu-Pine is the stuff to take,
Say, Tolu-Pine will soon get rid
OF the wheezy cough of the phthisis
kid
To loosen the cough that is hoarse and
tight
Tolu-Pine is always right.
The only good there's in this rhyme
Is to catch and hold your eyes in line,
That you may know that now's the
time
To stop that cough with Tolu-Pine.
Coughs that come with a whee-whee-
wheeze
Tolu-Pine gives quickest ease.
Come home, dear father, come home,
When the clock ON the college strikes
nine,
And don't fail to bring
One particular thing
That's Richardson's Tolu-Pine.
A bit of doggerel now and then
Gets twisted In a fellows pen
And seems to kink right into rhyme
With-stop that cough take Tolu-Pine.

promised contest over the is to plank
of the platform. The utterances of men
like National Chairman Jones, William

of western and southern Democratic
state conventions in their platforms
would seem TO indicate that simple re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform -

Sulzer told Mr.. Bryan that he was in

would be gratified to be his running
mate. the success of the Democratic
party was the first condition. and if it
was Mr.. Bryan's belief that some other
man would add greater strength to the
ticket, he (Sulzer) would willingly
withdraw.
Mr.. Bryan told Mr.. Sulzer that he
would not presume to dictate or even
advise as to the vice presidential nom

suggestion from him. He told Mr. Sui

BUSINESS OF THE MORNING.
Judge Powers, Temporary Chairman,
Makes a Ringing Speech.

The con 5ention was called to order
at Ills by Judge T. ]. Anderson, chair
man of the judicial committee, who
stated very briefly the object of the
gathering. After the reading of the
call by P. ]. DAILY. the secretary of the
committee, Judge .. W. Powers, was
introduced as temporary chairman and
was received with applause.
Judge Powers, on taking the chair,
expressed his high appreciation of the
honor of presiding over this convention,
which he considered the most import
ant TO be held in this district by the
Democrats this year, because the three
judges and the district attorney to be
nominated would have TO a great ex-
tent, the lives, liberty and property of
the people in their keeping during their
term.
Utah, he said, had been fortunate in
her judiciary. Judges of all parties
had done their duty we'll It was the
hope of the people that the judiciary
could be divorced from politics, but
there are peel liar reasons at this time
why the judgs on the bench should be

pleted after o'clock in the evening.
The gathering was assembled for bust
ness; it realized that it was throwing
out the Democratic picket line for the
greatest political battle of this gener-
alton. and showed it's anxiety to be in
the fray.
-Four years ago the party had 20
hunt for men to max the fight because
the district was strongly Republican
and the outlook was not encouraging.
This year there. were candidates in
plenty, and every inch of the ground
was fought for in a way that augurs
well for Democratic victory at the
polls. OF course, there was disappoint-
ment with some of the delegates be-
cause they did not get all that they
were fighting for. but il was a fair fight
and free expression of the will of the
delegates, and as such was accepted
with good grace by every man who took
part in the deliberations of the con-
vention.
Native Sons Were There.
The Utah boy was in the convention
TO make his influence felt; three of the
nominees are sons of the home soil.
