Harry Mcclure, constituting G quorum.
Secretary Adams reported the receipt
OF a letter from MAJOR w. II. Bixby, of
the Board of Engineers of u. 5, A., in
relation TO the b. a. o. bridge at Bell
aire. This will be found in fun ill or
railroad column.
In response to a request from the
national government 10 each Board OF
Trade throughout the county to APP
point delegates Manufacturers only

held at the national capital at an early
date, the following were appointed:
Messrs. J. c. Brady. b. w. Peterson, Z.
r. Hubbard, C. ". Franzheim, W. a.
Wilson, Senator n. b. Scott and Presi-
dent Geo A. Laughlin.
The Board tnen passed a resolution
to accept an option from the wheeling
Improvement Company on thisty~iiVe
acres of ground from the tract recently
acquired north of the city by the com
pany, such land to be used to supply
sites Tor manulactur enterprises.
Messrs. Holloway, Reymann, Braty,
Mcclure ana Lutz were appointed a
committee to carry this into effect,
The following resolution WAS then
adopted by the Board:

adiusters to come TO settlement ii the
loss AS soon as possible. in order that
the works may resume at the earliest
possible moment.
Secretary Adams was instructed to
take up with the Pennsylvania railway
management the question of through
sleepeTs over the lines from Wheeli.iS
TO New York and vice versa, aud re-
quest the company to provide this
very necessary accommodation for Its
large Wheeling patronage.
The question of the large difference
in railway rates, both passenger and
freight, between Wheeling and Wash
ington, Pa. and those between Pitts
burg and Washington Pa, was brought
up and discussed. The distance from
Wheeling to Washington and from
Pittsburg to that place is very nearly
the same, yet the rates from Pittsburg
to that point are much lower than
from Wheeling-to the same city. Sec
rotary Adams was instructed to COM
municate with the railway manage
ments concerning this in the interest
of fair rate for Wheeling.
The Conradson Lathe Company for
nation was reported to be progressing
very satisfactorily and IL is probable all
the stock in the company will be taken
up in the next two days.
The Board discussed some minor
matters not of general interest, and

kIndeIberxer-Not Likely That
There viii Be Any Changes In the
Two Plants Controlled by the
Board.

Tonight the recently elected city Gas
Board will meet for the purpose of or
ganization. and there has been consid-
cradle speculation as to the distribution
OF the patronage which the board will
control There is hardly any doubt
mat Nj. Harry W. Mcclure viii be
chosen as president of the Board.
The principal fight is over the secre-
taryship, between viii Sehenk, the pres
ent incumbent, and John W. Kindel-
berger. 1t has already involved a great
many councilmen. and the members OF
the new board have been importuned
upon all sides in behalf of one or the
other OF the two men. Several other
deserving Republicans, who have had
their eyes upon the place for some time,
having learned that there are but two
zen in the race. have Withdrawn and
eft the fed tc them.
There is no way OF telling in advance
what the board wilhdo, and II is prob
ably true that both the majority mem
bsrs have refused to commit themselves.
Meanwhile, councilmen and politicians
are making it interesting for them. and
both are working hard in their own
behalf
Mr.. Schenk has worked himself up to
his present position, having been first
assistant to the late Godfrey Schul.
Mr.. Kindelberger has been member
of council, and has held the position OF
city receiver, so that the argument that
new material should be given recog-
milton. does not apply.
There is also considerable speculation
as to whether Mr.. Underwood and Mr..
Thompson will be retained as superin-
tendents OF the electric light plant and
the gas works respectively It Is not
likely that they will, be changed. for the
present at least, nor that there win be
any changes in the working forces.
The mechanical and laboring jobs do
not depend so much upon a change In
management, although they are always
given out to faithful workers in the
dominant party.

PLAIN TALK
To catarrh s-aerer..

Every person suffering from
eatarrh in its many forms, knows
that the common lotions, salves
and douches do not cure. Ii is
needless to argue this point or to
cite cases of failure, because every
victim of catarrhal trouble knows
it for himself If he has tried them.
A local application, If it does any,
thing at all, simply gives temper
AIRY relief; a wash, lotion, salve or
powder cannot reach the seat of the
disease. which is the blood.
The mucous mehraue seeks to
relieve the blood of catarrhal poi
son by secreting large quantities OF
mucous, the discharge sometimes
closing up the nostrils descending

an irriuating cough. continual

The pest remedies for this pur-
pose are Eucalyptol. Sanguinaria

has always been 10 get these val
liable curatiyes combined in one

that they may be slowly dissolved

part OF the mucous membrane and

An advantage to be considered
also is that Stuart's Catarrh Tab

or poisonous narcotics. so often
found in catarrh powders. and the
use Of which often entails a habit
more dangerous than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at 80 cts. for full sized
package and are probably the
safest and most effectual catarrh
cure on the market.

Last evening at about 40 there
were lively doings on the South Side
and much excitement, but fortunately
no one was injured in the shooting, as
all the bullets went wild.
The fray was opened by one Samuel
Rodgers, a digger OF coal, hanging out
at Glendale, but out for fun last night.
The said Samue, visited various and
numerous places along the road to
Wheeling where an article is done up in
bottles and kegs, and Is handed out for
so much per drink. As these places are
not rare and Samuel missed none. he
was pretty well "tankedup" when he
reached Rudolph Brandt's place on
South Chapline street. lie entered.
Before him stood a crowd.
Samuel did not like the crowd so he
said git
The crowd took this for a joke, but
saw their mistake when Sam drew a
revolver and fred shot. They eft
him In possession.
Not satisfied with this feat he went
forth to conquer other worlds
Emerging on Chapllne street he
opened a rapid and unsteady fire at
Officer Gardner, who had been attracted
by the first shot. The officer did not
stop, but let two shots fly in return.
! This brought Sam to hts senses and
at the command of the officer he threw
down his gun and stepped out beneath
the electric light He was promptly
taken In charge and brought to the city
building. where charges of disorderly
shooting In the city limits and carrying
concealed weapons were filed against
him.
To the tune of these he will face the
mayor this morning
