a.nuood People Complaining.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
in Benyood about the condition in
which the city's water supply has fallen,
and this dissatisfaction is not only
against the men who have the contract
to supply the city, but against the city
officials who allow such a condition OF
affairs TO exist without taking some &C.
ton. For several months past tina
water has been shut off from the city
at midnight, and it has not been again
turned on until s or 8 o'clock in the
morning. but yesterday the water was
not turned on and for the past day and
a half the hydrants have run out. The
citizens are particularly angry, as on
Yesterday there should have been a
plentiful supply. as fires were liable ia
break out at any moment and with NJ
water in the town the result would bt
serious.
Another matter that is causing com,
plant is the fact that there has beer
no electric lights on in the streets for
two weeks.

That fine sentiment, Honesty is the
best policy" which has stimulated so
much worthy effort and made success
easier in many places, has always been
the guiding principle in the manufac-
ture of Wetmore's Best chewing to-
bacco.
Some one has aptly described Wet
more's Best as " a chewing tobacco
with a conscience behind It," so closely
have the manufacturers held to the
spirit of the adage quoted. But the re-
ward has come; not only in a comfort
ing self-approval, but ia a large bust
ness; a business that Is extending from
day to day until Wetmore's Best is
known wherever a good chew is priced
or sought.
This best quality is not attained
without effort, in addition to good in

Best is selected by expert buyers with
a view to uniformity of quality, man.

requires a very large and very intelli-

Every buying and factory effort is
given to quality and uniformity There
is not a penny used for anything but
legitimate business effort in making
and marketing Wetmore's Best.
No premiums.
Because every premium that is given
must be paid for by reducing the
quality of the tobacco.
Wetmore's Best will remain best by

The sign of Wetmore's Best in a to-

Ewing's Steadiness, Etc, Etc.

The golfng brotherhood OF the City
and suburbs, together with their
friends, wore an anxious look yesterday
up to 3 O'Clock. At that hour signs of
clearing weather were manifest and
the spirits of the ladies' andsgentlemen
gathered at the Woodsdale club house
in goodly numbers, correspondingly in
creased. The ladies' committee, as per
announcement IN yesterdays Register,
had made great preparations to have
the social side equal TO the occasion,
and to have rain mar the function
would be too much. But 1t didn't. AS
the afternoon wore away the skies
Frightened and a more charming even
ing could not be made to order. The
company was very large and brilliant;
SO large, in fact, that many had TO HE
to the hooks and corners under the
shade trees for more room. Delicious
ices and cakes were served by the en-
ergetic committee constantly until eight
O'Clock, which was very highly APP
%preciated, and particularly by the play
ers and the scorers at the end OF the
match.
Precisely at four O'Clock play was
called, and by 1880 the six pairs had
finished the IS holes. AS anticipated
in these columns, the Wheeling team
won by a net of 20 holes up, on
siderably more than the friends of the
Highland team expected. The contest
was under the rules of match play, that
is, by holes, and the result went thus:
Ewing beat Pollock (Harvey) 3 up;
Paxton (Charles) beat Campbell 3 up;
Storer beat Paxton q. W. 2 up; PAUL
beat Hustled 5 up; Hildreth beat Bates
II up; and Pollock q. Jr.) beat Bloch
/ up.
The real test of skill is In the number
Of strokes which it required each player
to do the Is holes, and while 1t cuts no

terday Discouraged the Ambitious
Thermometer.
The mercury started out yesterday
morning at the fairly hot pace of 80 IN
the shade at 7 o'clock, and by noon
had mounted to 90. That proved to be
the high point of the day, however,
for just before noon a storm cloud came
out of the west, and the result was a
slight decrease in the temperature. The
bulk of the storm passed norm of Mar
tin Ferry where there was some very
vivid lightning and a heavy %downpour
of rain, but no especial damage was
reported from that locality in this city.
Here the rainfall amounted to about .25
of an inch, the most serious effect be-
ing the disappointment of numerous
picnickers and excursionists and the
postponement for a couple of hours of
some of the afternoon entertainments.
After the rain the sky cleared and the
latter part of the afternoon and the
evening was characterized by good
weather, the thermometer going up to
80 at 7 O'Clock, when the barometer
stood at 1928 inches and about sta
tionary. AT nine o'clock last night
there were indications of another storm
north of the city. ~

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Absurdities into Which Victims Of
the Habit Have Fallen.

AA0
When lapses Of memory become
habitual, the person is properly called
absentminded. The Chicago Tribune
relates the following absurdities into
which some victims of this disease
havt fallen:
A bridegroom Of "a hours left his
wife, strolled around to his mother-in-
laws house and asked her II her
daughter was at home. This came
from force of habit. He had been call.
ing there daily for some time, and it
probably occurred to him that he had
not paid his usual visit.
A Chicago bank president is unable
to account for three-quarters Of an
hour Of his life. He went into a res
taurant as usual and ordered his lunch.
Nearly an hour later he found himself
In his Office chair and suddenly re.
membered the order.
He went back across the street and
asked II the luncheon was ready. The
clerk Informed him that he had eaten,
paid the bill and gone away some Is
minutes before, that he had put his
hat on as he went out and that he
1.-THE clerk had not noticed anything
peculiar in his actions.
The bank president congratulates
himself that he can be trusted to be-
have like an ordinary mortal ever
when he doesn't happen to have his
mind with him.
An editor Of a daily paper has laid
himself open to unkind remarks by
trying to take up a collection in his
office. Happening to want a small
coin. he turned to his fellow worker
and asked for a quarter.
Haven't got it. but here's a dollar"
the man replied IS he tossed it over.
The editor put the dollar in his pocket
and Immediately turned to a special
writer at the next desk and said:
Miss -. could you lend me a quar-
ter? Then. seeing the man from
whom he had got the dollar grin. he
added hastily: "Oh, never mind. l just
got a dollar from Brown"
In Analysing his conduct he said
that Browns reply that he did not
a quarter IA apparently the
part of the transaction that made
any impression upon him. But he Is
under suspicion in that Office and will
probably never be able to live it down.

Speaking of the queer doings Of alb
sentminded people, the following anec-
dote Is related by the London Globe:
"A very irritable man left his house
one morning to attend a race meeting
some distance off. In order that be
might have enough money to pay his
hotel bin he tied a sovereign in the
corner of his handkerchief. In the
train he drew his handkerchief from
his pocket. and noticed the knot In the
corner. Now he said to himself, what
was it ! wished to remember Much
thought failed to enlighten him upon
the point. and at last. in a fit of passion
he hurled the handkerchief out of ...p
window. Then he remembered"
