consisting of Judge ]. S. Cochran, Prof.
w. IL. Stewart and B. f. Brady, called
upon Chairman GarYin and other mem
bers of the arrangements committee, to
ascertain whether or not it would be
possible to include the Martins Ferry
visit in the arrangements for the day.
The committee received no definite an
swer. Nothing has yet been done to-
ward mapping out a programme for the
Dewey demonstration. The committee
was assured, however, that its request
will receive consideration.
Chairman Garvin finds his mail mat
ter increasing each day. He is receiv-
ing many favorable replies from the in
vitations extended to all the societies
within a radius of one hundred miles of
Wheeling, and all indications point to
a big crowd Of visitors on Washington's
Birthday. The finance committee will
probably wait until the first of the week
before ~canvassing among the citizens
for the money to defray the necessary
expenses of the demonstration. Chair
man Garvin has decided to call a meet
ing of the executive committee for
Monday night of next week.

There are many reasons why you should
take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids in preference to
any other kidney preparation. First, Kid
ne-oids are a scientific preparation. Sec
ond, They are Tablets, which is the scien-
tifc form of preparing medicine. Third,
There are never any bad after effects from
their use. Fourth, They act directly upon
the kidneys; they are strictly a kidney
cure and nerve tonic. Fifth, YOU do not
have to quit work while using Kid-ne-oids
A ffty-cent box contains enough for about
two weeks treatment. People use Kid-ne-
oids, because they cure kidney ailments
Here is what Mrs, r. D. Seeley, AZ Brad

Martins Ferry citizens want Admiral
George Dewey to visit the town when
he comes to Wheeling on February 22d.
They ask that he and his wife visit the
grave of Elizabeth Zane, in Walnut
Grove cemetery, and place a wreath OF
flowers upon her grave.
Elizabeth Zane is the heroine OF the
siege of Fort Henry. She is said to
have left the fort and carried powder
to the band OF settlers who were de-
tending themselves against the attack
CT British and Indians. The deed has
been commemorated in prose and verse.
The body of Elizabeth Zane rests in
the Martins Ferry cemetery.
The ladies of Martins Ferry have in

are entering into the movement with
considerable enthusiasm. Yesterday af-

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY

NIght-The Thieves Bold Beyond
Precedent-The General News of
the City Yesterday.

An epidemic of burglary has again brok-
en- out in Bellaire. For some time past
the town has been let alone, but Wednes-
day night the outrages broke loose again
and the parties showed that they had not
only worked at night, but that they would
take chances in daylight. Mayor F'reesess
house was one OF those visited. The bur-
glars first tried the shutters on the front
windows, breaking several Stats, but failed
to raise the windows. Then they tried
those In the rear n side of the house.,
breaking more Stats, and each time failing
to raise any Of the sashes. 1t is thought
they became frightened and allowed the
Mayors residence to go, repairing to other
fields more profitable. 1t is thought this
sang were the parties who entered George
Pratt's house, of the Second ward, secur-
ng Mrs. Pratt's gold watch, a money bank
md other minor articles. The Pracnt fam
lily were not aware of any one being In
the house until yesterday morning, when
they missed the articles. The two former
attempts, of which one was successful, are
a common, ordinary occurrence, but this
one holds the record of all former cases OF
unlawfulness ever occurring in this cpty.
About 7:30 yesterday morning a man en-
tered the house of Frank Bell, on twenty
sixth street, and was ordered out by the
women He left by the back door and
came out to the front of the house and
walked down the street past Mr.. West,
whose home is next to Bells. He then
entered the home of w. H. Weeks, who is
next door to Bells. Mr.. Weeks happened
along just after Mr.. Bell had noticed the
man enter Weeks house. He was inform
ed of the mans actions, and MI. Weeks
entered by the rear CT the house and asked
the family If any stranger had entered.
The family was not aware of any one
calling, but when all repaired to the hall
TO go up stairs, they found a man stand
ing at the foot of the stairs. Mr.. Weeks
ordered him out OF the house. The man
placed his hand to his hip pocket and de-
scended the stairs. Miss Weeks locked
the front door and the man seeing this,
made a break for the side door, throwing
Mrs. Weeks to one SIDE. Both father and
daughter tried to catch the mar but failed
and he escaped by the rear with Mr..
Weeks following. The fugitive tried the
back yard fence and on reaching the fence
was met by Mr.. West with a Ratchet. His
hat dropped on Vests side and he fell
back, making his escape through the rear
gate to the alley and from there through
M~oneyhan's saloon and to McMahon's
creek, where he was lost. Up to a late
hour last night the police had been unable
TO find the bareheaded thief, and it is ex-
pected that he has made good his escape.
He has the record Of being the bravest of
all thieves in this city of late. He was
well dressed, a young man, and would
not be counted a thief from appearance.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF EXPANSION.

The forcble annexation OF territory to be gov-
erned by arbitrary power differs much from the
acquisition Of territory to be built up into States
as a monarchy differs from a democracy. The
Democratic party does not oppose expansion when
expansion enlargeS the area of the Republic and
Incorporates land which be settled by Ameri-
can citizens or adds to our population people who
are willing to become citizens and are capable of
discharging their duties such. The acquisition of
the Louisiana territory, Florida Texas and other
tracts which have been secured from time time
enlarged the Republic. and the Constitution fol-
lowed the nag into the new territory. 1t is
proposed to seize upon distant territory already
more densely populated than our own country. and

there is no warrant in our Constitution our laws
Even the argument that this earth belongs 10 those
who desire TO cultivate II and have the physical
