Yesterday the authorities had their
attention called to the condition OF
Mrs. Hoover, widow OF the late John
Hoover, who died about six years ago.
Mrs. Hoover lives north of the Wind
sor hotel on Union street, by herself
on the second floor 4 tenant occupy
ing the first floor three days ago MOTTO
ed her strange actions, such as getGng
out on the roof and walking around
telling her friends she was not crazy
and exposing herself to the weather.
Her friends became alarmed for fear
she might do herself some injury.
Yesterday afternoon her actions be-
came more violent and Probate Judge
Smith was sent for to take action in
her case. He arrived and Mrs. Hoover
was pronounced insane, and later TAX
en- to st. Clairsyille in a closed car
riage. All the afternoon her house
was guarded by a constable and as
sistant. Mrs. Hoover is a well known
woman in this city. and has a high
standing with the people, and large
circle-ol friends were shocked to learn
OF her condition. Mrs. Hoover is al
so possessed OF considerable means
Some weeks ago she was induced TO
attend some SpiTitualist seances which
made quite an impression on her mind
Being sixty years old, her friends claim
that these meetings were too much
for her nervous system and caused
her present mental condition. Her
relatives are much concerned but it is
hope that with proper treatment she
will recover.

Bum A-Plenty.

Tuesday night was a good night for
the police to gather in a number OF
the knights of the road, better known
as the "anti-working mans society"
These men all had trade when they
were told they could secure work in
the city, and one man even went to
the trouble to secure a position for
one. He told the man that the job was
all right, but that he could not secure
boarding in the city as all the board
ing houses were filled up. This is
surely a gag. The mayor turned them
all out yesterday with instructions to
leave the town Immediately, which
they promised to do.
What the county needs is work
house where these men could be sent
and not poster the life out Of the peo-
Pile These buns all know that they
will not be sent up to the county Jail
and be kept there at the expense OF
the county.

that one can realize that the car is

tors on this line have ali kinds OF
trouble and receive much criticism
which they do not deserve. But one
who travels over this line gets much
disgusted with the slow way of trxv-

any accommodation. 1t is thought the
City Council will soon take some ac-

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-At present this city SENS to
be overrun with lot of thieves who
seem to do about as they please, and
always escape without ever being
heard of again. 1t seems that at about
this time of the year, this wholesale
robbing commences and is kept up for
a number of months, and always re-
suits in a number of citizens loosing
goods to considerable amount Some
say that the present police force is
not large enough to take care OF the
city. Others say that the police are
not doing their duty. All of these
ideas no not help the people, and it
is surely evident to all that some
thing must be wrong, andethat it IS
the duty of the good citizens to in
vestigate the present condition, and
ask Council for some remedy, to also
give the people some protection, II
the police are not doing their duty or
it there is not enough police, provide
more, or in some way find out where
the trouble lies and take some action.
These holdups ard attempted robDeries
give this city bad name, and for
the good OF our town alone some &C
ton should be taken so that this dam
aging news should not be heralded
over the country The Board OF Trade
would do good act by taking this
matter UP, and try and rid this city
of this disgrace, for which it is fast
gaining a reputation, not to be proud

WHEELING MEN INTERESTED

In Taking Up the Options on Coal
Land in Belmont County--OutloOi1
Bright.
For the past few months there has
been much interest taken in the coal
lands west OF Bellaire, which have been
opuOned for about six months, but
those who first took the options have
been very dilatory in making their
promised payments. In the last few
days it has been learned that a num-
ber of Wheeling people, with large
amount CT capital have taken a hand
in the field, and the options Will be
taken up and paid off in the near flu
ture
The optioned territory amounts to
several thousands of acres, and is
counted very valuable, as its mining
and shipping facilities are very good.
1t is not known when this territory
will be developed, but it is said it will
be soon.
