that when the Gentle Youth break out

The Boss was no Chauncey Depew.
OTatory was not his Long Suit. He
was better on a Still Hunt than on the

with a Dark Lantern and a pair of
Goloshes. Fortunately he had talent

draw up to her Machine and beat out
about 500 Words of South Wind. She
wrote the customary Josh-the kind

On Commencement Day he went up tc

roR MUNICIPAL CONTROL.

The Council Committee on Lights
and City Gas Board has made the in
itiative move under the act of the Leg
islature empowering this city to enter
the field of manufacturing and selling
electricity to the people as it does gas.
The committee acting under the pro-
visions of the law recommended the
purchase of the Wheeling Electrical
Company's plant by the city at price
to be fixed by arbitration in the man
ner prescribed in the act
So far, so good. We need not I'M
press upon Council the importance OF
favorable action on the committees re-
port. 1t is subject that has been ex-
haustively discussed and is thoroughly
understood by all the people. 1t is SUI
ficient to say that this action must be
taken to prevent the city losing one of
it's most valuable privileges and the
ownership of an important public utili-
ty, which has been immensely profitable
to the city and at the same time has
effected saving to the people of many
millions of dollars that would other
wise have gone into the pockets of a
private gas company as profits.
With a private company in the field
supplying electric light in competition
with the municipal gas works the city
is sadly handicapped and the object
now is to repair the damage by buying
out the private concern, and thus per-
hitting the city to resume its control
of this important public utility.
The Wheeling Electrical Company's
plant is up-to-date and practically new,
and doubtless, can be purchased out
right at a figure much below the cost
of building an entirely new municipal
plant.
Council should put this plan through
with as little delay as possible. The
city's eminent success in the manufac-
ture and sale at the mere cost of pro-
duction of gas is sufficient guarantee
of the success also of municipal owner
ship of electric lighting.
Cheap light-electric and gas-wiM be
one of Wheeling's most attractive in
ducements to the world at large to
bring here additional population and
new industries.

There were other Clarien Calls to

Voice sounded like some one standing
too close to the Phone read the Valedic-

all Broken Up at the Prospect of tearing

Dear Teachers, but the time had come
for them to tackle the Ladder and get
on the Boat and start up the Mountain,

A KIonaike in Wheeling Hill
o the Editor of the Register.

TO the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Some days ago read in your
paper that the Government engineers
had arrived in this city for the purpose
of making a geological survey of the
hills around Wheeling. If chat survey
includes the analysis of some of the
mineral tratas of our hills in this
neighborhood the report of their sur
yey would be of great Importance to
the city of Wheeling. From the above
statement l might draw the inference
fnat no such survey was ever made be-
fore. The magnetism limestone for
nation is everywhere visible cropping
out In the hills fronting on the river
and railroads. In many places where
this magnetism limestone has been
tested 1t has yielded from Is to % per
cent, of magnesia, a metal that is of
some consequence in this country, as
its high price as a commodity in our
commerce will prove. This magnetism
limestone formation comes to the level
of the B. & 0. railroad at Benwood and
gradually raises until 1t reaches an alti-
tude of over three hundred feet above
the railroad near Wellsburg, Brooke
county, and many points where the
lliliS dPPlOdiA lut IdllIOGu Tie uldR0p-
sian quarry stands at an angle of ele-
walton with the railroad of from fiif-
teen to thirty-five degrees, thus giving
the manufacturers great material ad-
vantage, for all material in the process
of reduction as desired, would fall by
gravitation to the railroad, where the
finished product could be loaded in the
| cars. But it is waste of time to go
over this extent of territory. If sci
ence can show that there is ten per
cent of magnesia in the limestone
quarry in question, it can be extracted
at a profit, for there is enough of the
metal in that little hill in the center of
our city to supply the demand OF all
the American nations during the next
half century. Every acre in that hill
above the coal line, contains over 3d.
600 tons of magnetism limestone, with
coal and water above, and mile front
on the east side with steep valley
below, and unincumbered waste land
all around, belt of railroad all around
it and o1-ler railroads going from it to
almost every point of the compass.
/ But one will ask, of what value is
this metal in our general trade? Let US
see. In ehe tariff laws of 90, Dingley
Bill, Schedule A, Chemicals, We find a
specific duty of seven cents per pound
on calcimed magnesia. that is $40 per
ton. If that duty was put on for reye-
nue. only, I might venture to say that
the Importance of that article must be
considered. II that heavy duty is
placed on the article for the purpose
Of protecting American labor, free from
prejudice, l will say that the Law has
failed to accomplish its object, for 1t is
the cheapest md of labor that is en-
/ ployed, save the management, but the
law protects the waste material in the
salt pans and dripping from the salt
piles Of the soda trust. from which
natural mAgneh is.made.

Comment of South.
Trick 8. West has five trumps at least
and must be forced in preference to TAX
ing up the trump lead even to draw two
for one
Trick 5. West held six trumps exactly
unless falsely-carding the 8, which is pos
sible.
Trick I. The 3 of trumps is in East's
hand, but even now 1t will not do to draw
two trumps for one. The command for
trumps must be retained to protect the 6.
two trumps still remaining in West S
hand. He must be forced again, if posi-
BILE: there is no other way to overcome
his strength.
Trick s. Light dawns at last and the
patient care with which South's hand has
been played thus far is to be rewarded
There is only one trick left for East and
West. as South can now take up the
trump lead. force the best trump, and
bring in diamonds or spades.
1t will be noticed that it was necessary
for South to force West three times in
order TO obtain the long trump. Had one
of Vests trumps been in North's hand
two forces would have sufficed. This is
self-evident, but unless you are going to
take the trouble to count the hands your
knowledge of every axiom and every prin-
ciple will avail you nothing
