An Opera House Ton-strike,

vogel s. Deming's mlnstrels played
to a big house last evening at the
Auditorium. The entertainment was
one Of the best Of the minstrel kind
ever given in this city and was keenly
enjoyed by the audience Nearly every
number received an encore and some
OF them received several. All the
parts were very good and it would
almost be impossible to pick out the
best. The company surely deserves a
good house wherever they go. Man.

secured this company for Labor Day,
as the show was the best thing OF the

HARRISBURG. w. VA. SEPTEMBER 81. 1900

among the lovely aud charming bellies,
or which Clarksburg can proudly say
she has few, were likely aroused in
church, as Mr.. Wilcox attended divine
services regularly, as well as most de-
voutly. Possibly, the pads that broad
ened those shoulders had something to
do with IL, too. They were smaller
though than Uncle Sans mail bags.
A few business men sized him up as
all right and trusted him greatly, to
his own delight, looks and comfort.
But they, too, have experienced a
radical change ofopinion.
Mr.. Wilcox has gone hence. He
went between two days, or at o'clock
Saturday morning, under the shades
Of darkness. All thought his hlghness
with us, till his land lady, his room
mate and his boss received notes on
their breakfast table. he expressed
regret to his land lady that business
called him away few days, but said
never word about the s15 he owed
her. The letter to his roommate, w.
II. Scott, reads,
Dear Scott, suffered all the tort
ures OF hell last night and / am taking
the early train to Chicago to find
cure for my disease, II it's the last act
Of my natural career. You had better
move to Fairmont. l will talk with
the old man and advise you; VIII re-
turn as soon as possible"
The letter to his boss, r. o. Brown,
was similar to that left for Mr., Scott,
but contained an additional clause re-
queSting Mr.. Brown to square him
with the main office In Chicago
That disease Of his puzzled all the
doctors. 1t appeared to be shingles,
but he has gone toget cured.
Parties lamentlng his departure,
without mentioning the names Of sor-
rowing female admirers, are W. NJ.
Osburn to the extent of $3.50; Clarks-
burg Tailoring Company, sl8.75; Mrs.
A. c. Fordyce, $500; Or. Morgan for
two or three professional examinations
and DR.. Goff for similar service. There
may be others. All he left behind
was bundle of laundry and photo
graph of a young lady, who says she
would like to see him just minutes.
The strange parto Of it all is that a
Clarkburg boy can not practice the
art Of professional bluHing on our peo-
pie like a stranger can.

A HORSE THIEF AT LARGE.
Young Ritche County Man Stole a team
and traded It of.

Defflln Mason, of Pullman, Richie
county, recently out Of the reform
school, appears to be one of the most
daring horse thieves in the current
history of this county. Monday Sept.
3 he hired a two-horse team and a
wagon Of the Salem liveryman, Joseph
johnson, but instead of returning
them to the owner he drove this way
and traded the horses, harness and
wagon to Mel Dodd, of Ocean Mines,
for a mule and SIS. The next day he
traded the mule back TO Dodd for a
watch.
Squire Riley issued warrant Mon
day for Mason's arrest, but to date he
has not been disturbed in his peaceful
abode at Pullman. The team, har-
ness and wagon were recovered by Of
1cer Borgess. and restored to Mr..
johnson, and Dodd is in the soup
for $40 and a watch.

John NJ. Flanagan called the meet
ing to order, and introduced Mr. VIII
liams amid loud applause.
Mr.. williams spoke earnestly and
eloquently for two solid hours and
was listened towith marked atten-
ton. Having been an eye witness for
many months Of the Philippine situa-
ton, he had every thing at tongues
end to refute the false and misleading
campaign conducted by Bryan. He
briefly described the vast area Of the
Philippines, which he said was greater
than all the New England states COM
bined and then be told Of the poSsibili-
ties of the islands in agriculture aud
minerals, showing them to be three
fold more than Ohio, Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware and West Virginia
combined.
Then he pointed out the grand COM
mercial possibilities Dewey's feet had
opened up to this country, in the 400
islands, of which $50 were populated
atleast, some OF them larger than our
largest states.
The speaker related how he was drfv-
enout Of the country, joining Dewey
at Hong Kong April 81, 1898, and in
less than two hours afterward Dewey
setsail for Manila.
Bryan coins words" said he, and
talks about Imperialism, and yet in
American history there has been no
such imperialist, despot and boss as
Bryan over his party"
Mr., Williams quoted Bryan as say
ing "it is impossible to acquire govern
ment over people either by force or by
purchase, and then he pointed out the
fact that every acquisition of territory
made by this country was without con-
sent, agreemento or consultation Of the
people residing in the acquisitions,
and they were all made, too, by the
democratic party, except Alaska
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and others
never consulted the people Of New
Orleans, the Indians and thousands OF
others, who had no voice, and yet
Bryan poses as the follower Of the
fathers. Sheer nonsensel
To Bryan's cry Sof militarism, Mr..
Williams showed that 100000 sol
diers were discharged at the end of
thecivil war, when we had only 3d.
100000 population, yet there was no
such cry. Now, that we have S,OOo'-
600 population, why should the ex-
istence of an army Of only $1,000 cause
any fear over milltarism.
He showed how the American army
stood as keepers Of the peace, unit
Agulnaldo forced the war upon US,
Stuart f. Reed made brief speech,
pointed but pleasing and well received.
John A. Fleming, j. E. Law and W.
L. Hughes were introduced and made
happy remarks.

The Temporary stay of one E. o.
Wilcox amongus and his mysterious
flight from US furnish an Inspiration
for story, the truth Of which is
stranger than fiction. Now, Mr.. Will
cox's personality is just such as the
prologue of this story attempts feebly
to describe. Mr.. Wilcox came here
from Chicago to work as travelling
salesman for Swift s. Co. IS beef market
eighteen months ago. He'was in and
out many months. stopping at the
hotels, but seven weeks ago he went
TO room at Mrs, A. G. Fordyce's.
People were impressed with his i'm
posing and progressing personality,
but seemed no more so than himself.
The idea seemed to be uppermOst in
Wilcox's mind that he was heart
smasher and real conqueror Of the
fair sex OF all grades, conditions and
kinds. He rubbered and many femin-
Inc neck ligaments were taxed when
he passed by. Almost before he knew
1t, Mr.. Wilcox became involved in
more than one afEaire glamour, an
honorable extrlCation from which was
beyond the comprehension Of man
Of auburn locks somewhat klnked. A
belle Of the -Four Hundred-pardon for

answered their keeping company must
be on the square and not on the street
corner, or in other words at her home,
but in the same breath he told her it
was not she but her sister, who had
won the heat Of his heart. Then, he
broke away from girl he had shower-
ed such ardent attentions upon, only
to find himself at sea in the heart
