Rixermen Are Afraid Navigation

News Notes of Interest Concerning
the Ohio and Its Tributaries.
The heavy ice and low water has
forced many of the packets touching
at this port to tie up, and many river
men claim that two or three cold days
would close the river and end naviga-
ton. The weather reports are very
discouraging, as they predict cold
weather.
The T. M. Bayne is iceJbound at
Steubenville and will not be able to
run for several days. The Ruth is at
Sistersville, and is unable to come up
on account of the ice. The Urania left
this port at 8 o'clock, refusing all
freight. She has tied up at some shell
tered point below here. The H. K.
Bedford will not be in to-day, as she
is tied up at Marietta on account OF
ice.
The City of Wheeling left yesterday
at noon for Parkersburg. She will
be in tonight in time to leave Sunday
morning at 7 o'clock for Sistersville.
Capt. Thad Thomas says he will keep
the City of Wheeling moving as long
as the ice moves.

William H. Noble, one Of the oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens,
passed away last night at 1915 o'clock
at his residence, No. 80 South Broad
way, Island, after an illness of compli-
Gated diseases. Mr.. Noble had been
ailing for some time past, but was able
to be up and around as usual until
eight or ten days ago, when he deemed
it advisable to remain in his room.
He seemed to be gradually improving
in health until Thursday, when his
condition took a turn for the worse,
and his death at the time stated came
as a sudden shock to his relatives and
friends.
In his younger days Mr.. Noble was a
school teacher in Ohio, and later en-
gagged in farming in Smithfeld town
ship. jefferson county, in that State.
About twenty-five years ago he retir-
ed from the farming business and
came to this city. Here he spent the
remainder of his life. Mr.. Mobiles
characteristics won for him the friend
ship and esteem of all with within he
was associated and his death will be
deeply deplored by a host of his &C
acquaintance. He is survived by four
sons and four daughters. They are

NOT DUE 70 CLIMATE.



Catarrh Is at home anywhere and
everywhere While more common
in cold, changeable climates, it is
by no means confined to them, but
is prevalent in every State and
Territory in the Union.
The common definition Of catarrh
is a chronic cold in the head, which
If long neglected often destroys
the sense of smell and hearing;
but there are many other forms Of
the disease. even more obstinate
and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bron-
chial tubes as well as catarrh of the
stomach and liver are almost as
common as nasal catarrh and gen.
orally more difficult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood
disease and can only be success
fully eradicated by an internal
treatment. Sprays, washes and
powders are useless as far as reach
ing the real seat of the disease is
concerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh
sufferers to use a new preparation,
sold by druggists, called Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, because actual
analysis has shown these tablets
to contain certain anti-septic quail
tiles of the highest value and being
an internal remedy, pleasant to the
taste, convenient and harmless, can
be used as freely as required, as
we'll for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker,
who had been a catarrh sufferer for
years, says:
Every fall / would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long
and every winter it seemed TO get a
little worse. | was continually
clearing my throat and my voice
became effected to such an extent
as to interfere with my public
speaking.
Il tried troches and cheap cough
cures and sometimes got relief,
but only for a short time. until this
winter when | learned of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's. through a newspaper adver-
tisement. Two fifty cent boxes
which l bought at my druggists,
cleared my head and throat in fine
shape and to guard against a re-
turn Of my old trouble | keep a
box of the tablets on hand and
whenever l catch a little cold l take
a tablet or two and ward off any
serious developments"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves
to head the list as a household
remedy, to check and break up
coughs and colds, because unlike
many other catarrh and cough
cures these tablets contain no OPT
ate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

Bon Ton stock Company.

The Bon Ton Stock Company, head
ed by Charles E. L%eyburne, will open
an engagement of a solid week at the
Grand Opera House next Monday.
Daily matinees will commence Tues
day. The Bon Ton company filled an
engagement at this theater two weeks
ago and made such a splendid inn
preston upon patrons Of the house
that the return engagement was
booked. The company is strong, its
plays are all of a high class, and the
specialties which are introduced be-
tween acts would do credit to a high
class vaudeville organization. The
opening bill Monday night will be the
drama, Princess of Patches which
made a pronounced hit when it was
presented by the company upon its last
appearance here.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 4.-The
Sand Fork development in Lewis
county, is hunting a lower level. The
old wells have pretty thoroughly drain
ed the sand and the now wells coming
in hold out no promise of an extension.
The South Penn Oil Company has
drilled it's test on the Summers farm
through the stray and is now drilling
on the top of the Gordon sand. The
location of this well is 700 feet east
of No. 4 Turner. 1t has made several
flows from the stray. If nothing be
found in the lower formations, it will
make a small pumper from the stray.
The production of the entire pool for
the twenty-four hours ending at seven
o'clock yesterday morning was $50
barrels.
On the Ohio side, in the Keener sand
territory, near Graysville, Monroe
county, Bruner & Co. have completed
No. 8 OF the S. c. Milhoan farm and
have a show for a 20 barrel pumper.
In the Macksburg field, Chapman,
Arms & Co. have drilled in a test well
on the John Jackson farm and have a
show for a % barrel producer from
the 500 foot sand. In the Lowell dis
trict, in Washington county, the Bos-
ton & Marietta Oil Company has COM
pleted its No. 20 on the A. Minch
farm, and has a buster in the salt
sand. 1t will be drilled to the lower
sand. No. 80 on the same farm has
been drilled in, and is showing for
% barrels a day. In the Turkeyfoot

ed their No. 2 on the Hudson heirs

Republican ballot commissioners, who
are in the majority, to refuse to place
the lanes of the Democratic nominees
for short term in the Fourth, Sixth and
Seventh wards upon the ticket.
The Democratic committee has Sc
lected Geo. W. Robinson and the Re-
publican committee VIM. Bowers, to
act with the city clerk as ballot com
m~issioners. The two committees have
not yet presented their ame to go
upon the ticket, but an agreement has
been reached that counsel for both

is done. j. ]. Coniff, Esq, will repre-

If the majority of the commissioners
refuse to accept the Democratic short

next step taken. The court will re-
view the action of the commissioners
and will decide the question involved,
namely, whether or not a vacancy ex-
lists in the three wards. The Demo-

is the correct one.

Queen Wilhelmina will,apply for di-

improper behavior on the part of the
Prince consort, Duke Henry Of Meek
Public sentiment is intensely with
the queen. Last night a biograph pic
ture of Wilhelmina was displayed at

cheered, while one of the prince con-
sort was loudly hissed.
1t is said the prince struck the queen
on one occasion, and that Emperor
William. of Germany. has sent for him
to explain his behavior. Henry still
considers the emperor his only lord.
The original cause of the estrange-
ment was the princes debts.

Columbus, Nov. 29.-It is rumored
that number of officers of the Eighth
regiment held conference in this
city early this week but there is an al;
of mystery about the affair The rumor
reached the adjutant generals depart
ment, but the officials there are at q
loss to understand the necessity for a
clandestine gathering of the officers OF
the regiment, nor do they know of any
business demanding their attention.
Charles c. Weybrecht, of Alliance,
lieutenant colonel of the Eighth, was
in the city early in the week, and II
Is stated other officers OF the regiment
were here, but none of them called at
the Office of the adjutant general.
There Is still a portion of the ex-
pense account incurred in transporting
the national guard to Canton for the
presidents funeral which has not been
filed. From reports received 1t is pos
sible that this expense may reach $16,-
900, which Is $4,000 or $4,000 more
than was anticipated.
