Sad to relate, the policy goose"
which has fed and fattened on the
small change of the men, women and
children of Wheeling and vicinity, now
appears homeless. The bird was COM
PEELED to fly for safety from the juris-
diction of John S. Ritz, and sought
refuge in Fulton. Last night the town
marshal of Fulton got after the festive
goose" and that the bird
cannot maintain a h%abitation in that
up-to-date, law abiding community.
When Chief Ritz issued orders for
the closing of policy shops, several of
the proprietors decided to remove their
paraphernalia to Fulton, and to send
their writers over their usual routes.
Marshal John Carney, of Fulton, learn
ed through the Register of this inten-
tion, and determined to keep watch.
Last night about 1880 O'Clock, Mar
shall Carney and deputies, Herman
Gehringer and Stein, paid a visit to a
resort in the East End of Fulton,
where they found proprietors and
writers ready to do business with the
goose" die placed IA under arrest.
They We're released upon furnishing
bond for their appearance before
Mayor M. Stein this morning.
The police authorities of Bellaire,
bridgeport and Martins Ferry yester-
day stated to Register reporters that
they will not permit the local pro
prietors of policy shops to do bust
ness in those towns. 1t looks like they
are shut out entirely, for the present
at least.
A telephone message from Fulton
stated that after furnishing the bond,
the proprietors returned to the resort
at which they were arrested, and re-
Sumed business.

"a TOUR or FRANCE
AND SWITZERLAND"


The Subject Of an I~nteresting Illus-
trated Lecture by the Crarys Last
Evening = Large Audience To-
nights Lecture.
Last evening the crarys delivered the
first of a series of six lectures in the
First English Lutheran church to an
audience that completely filled the
large auditorium. Last evenings lee
ture dwelt upon the countries of
France and Switzerland and was IL
Illustrated by several hundred stereop-
tican views. The Crarys have been
travelling for nearly fifteen years and
during that time have visited many
countries and have made themselves
familiar with the buildings, habit and
customs of the people, and the views
shown are nearly all from photographs
taken by themselves.
For the lecture last evening a large
part of the evening was devoted to
Paris and here they discussed the
principal buildings and venue of the
city and dwelled for a long time on
the exposition, where they showed
many buildings, both exterior and in
terror views. The Seine, with it's many
bridges was also shown. In Switzer-
land they showed the villages and
cottages, the mountain. glaciers and
beautiful water falls. At the conclu-
ton of the lecture a number of NOV
ing pictures, appropriate to the sub
ject were shown, they being both of a
serious and humorous nature.
This evening they will take up the
countries OF England, Ireland and
Scotland and besides the lecture and
views Illustrating it, a number of pa
propriate moving pictures will be
shown.

PYRAMID PILE CURE.

'hysiciana Recommend 1t, DRUGGIST
Sell 1t, Everybody Praises 1t.
If we could sell one package Of
Pyramid Pile Cure to every person
in America who is troubled with
piles and who would gladly give
the so cents to be rid of piles, we
would have about ten million dol
lars. The only reason that we
don't sell that many packages this
year is that we will not be able
to get ten million people to try it.
Just one application will prove its
merit and amply repay the cost of
a whole box.
The effect is immediate. Com
fort comes at once and continued
treatment will cure any case, no
matter how bad.
Pyramid Pile Cure soothes the
Unframed surface the instant it
touches it, heals it, reduces the
swelling am puts the parts into a
healthy, active condition. There
is nc substitute for it. Nothing
compares with it.

STRUCK IT RICH.


Former wheeling Man One 81 =
Owners Of an Immense Dep0sft ~
Silica in the State of Washington.
Mr.. L. S. Delaplaine, formerly OF
Wheeling, but now located in New
Whatcom, Wash, is here to spend sew
eral weeks. During his stay he may
endeavor to interest local capital in a
proposed glass factory in the state of
Washington. There are two factories
in Frisco, and no others on the Pa
ciic coast. The field appears to be ex-
c~eptionally inviting.
Before his departure from New
Whatcom, a deal was contaminated
between L. S. Delaplaine and L. p.
White, manager of the Bank OF What
com, who is also a West Virginian,
whereby Mr.. Deleplaine obtains a
mountain of almost pure silica and in
close proximity to the extension of
the Bellingham Bay and British CO.
lumbia railroad. In fact spurs will be
run so that the silica car be worked
without any expense in this particu-
lar. 1T has been known for some time
that this quartz was valuable. In 1892
a company was formed to work it, but
hard times came on and the company
was disorganized. Mr.. Delapiaine be-
ing a practical business man and
knowing a great deal about the glass
business saw the chance at ono and
has taken advantage of it.
The raw material assayed 1902 per
cent. pure silica. The analysis was
made by Mr.. Rawling, a Wheeling
chemist. The deposit is about 600 feet
in deEth and extends over sixty acres
of ground. The property was first
taken by its present owners believing
copper ore in paying quantities could
be found in the mountain. The silica
ledge has been a hindrance to the cop
per Developments, but Mr.. Delaplaine
has s~ubstantiated the fact that the
silica can be worked with more profit
than the copper.
Should the glass factory be placed
at Sumas, a village five miles distant
from the raw material the quartz
could be placed in the works for
sixty-ive cents per ton, including pur-
chase price Of the raw material. When
we take into consideration that the
quartz is almost pure silica, we can
readily see that it will be a paying
investment. There is a great terri
tory to be supplied on the Pacific
coast, not a glass factory being found
in any part of the country, so that
from this position, with the advan-
tages of the freight rates, a plant can
practically control the territory.
One OF the glass factories in San
Francisco gets its supply OF silica
from Oregon The deposit is located
fourteen miles from the Northern Pa
cific road and the silica is conveyed
in carts and wagons. There is coal
and limestone within a quarter of a
mile of the deposit owned by Mr.. Del
aplaine.
Silica is also valuable for fire brick,
fire clay, cement. etc. Mr.. Delaplaine
states that a corporation has been
formed with q capitalization of $780,
GOO for the manufacture of cement,
and that the company viii be required
to use his silica.

Yesterday Health Officer Jepson re-
moved the quarantine from the City
Hospital. There were but two patients
at that institution, and no others re-
suited from these cases, various sensa-
tional reports to the contrary notWith-
standing. The Health Officer deserves
all praise for the thorough and effec-
tive manner in which he dealt with the
situation, and prevented a spread OF
the disease.
The patients at the hospital, who
were detained there under quarantine,
have been permitted to go. Miss Helm
rich, the matron, has been granted a
leave of absence for two weeks, to visit
friends and relativesTin the East.
The hospital has been thoroughly
fumigated, but on account of the ap-
proach of the season for cleaning up
and papering, no more patients will
be received for two weeks, in order
that there may be a thorough renova-
ton of the institution.
