Development In West virginia

Another tract of coal land, it is stat
ed, is to be developed in Nicholas coun-
ty, West Virginia, by Ohio and West
Virginia parties. The tract comprises
about 1000 acres of land located on
what is known as the Bell Fork. and
forty miles from Charleston. Among
those who have taken an interest in the
development are w. j. and Sylvanus

Here at Steubenville, after the roll
ing mill and nail factory want down
the old jefferson lay idle for years
Everything was out of date but fur
mace and skelp rolls, which various
firms took hold of and ran at times.
Along came the boom in the iron bust
ness and the sale by Wheeling men of
their interests to the big trusts, and
they were looking for a chance to in
vest and get into the iron business
again, while there was big money in It
so they purchased the decaying plant,
and in several years there have been
gigantic improvements and several mil
lion dollars are being invested. First
big universal mill was built, and now
big tube works with electric plant,
machine shop and many other small
buildings. An open hearth steel plant
and big water works plant are going
up. To the north the Pope Tin Plate
Co., an adjunct of the La Belle, is
erecting a big mill. TO find room for
all these mills, street after street has
been abandoned and scores of houses
vacated and RACED All this is contri-
buting to boom so large that the peo-
pie cannot grasp it, and they are I'M
prepared to meet the exigencies OF the
occasion.
In 1890 our population was over 49,
900, but from 1893 it dwindled for sew
eral years till there was only about H.
900 people here, and there were several
hundred empty houses In 1899 the
tide began to come our way again, due
to increases in the sizV and working
force of our pottery, paper mill, glass
works and several other plants. In
1900 Wheeling capital completed a
street railway line to Mingo Junction
and this has been of great help to bust
ness here Several glass houses have
located here and to-day Steubenville
has over $4,000 people, and when tube
works, tin plate plant and others get
going the expectation is that two years
nence we will have 10000 people. An
electric line to Toronto has been be-
gun. and an electric line to Pleasant
Heights is but the beginning of line
to Canton. so that the feeders are ex-
pected to furth.S increase our trade
and influence To-day about 200
houses are needed TO Accommodate the
present population here and about 900
houses are needed to be built in the
next two years. to accommodate ahe in
coming hundreds of men and families
to be employed in plants in process of
construction.
All of the boom and the credit for
landing the La Belle and several other
industries are due to the energy and

An Industrial Boom on at steuben-
willie.


STEUBENVILLE, O., Oct. 19.-Now
that she has passed the century mark,
Steubenville is experiencing the great
est boom in her history. Much of the
present boom from here to Brilliant,
seven miles below, is due to all influx
OF Wheeling capital, Wheeling push
and enterprise. At one time in her
history Steubenvi1le was a great Jeans
manufacturing center, but 1t petered
out when the Yankee and Hebrew in
troduced shoddy. Later on Steuben-
willie had nail factory and rolling mill
that all Dragged about. First the pud-
ding business got jolt and next the
wire nail put the cut nail out after
the great strike and then these plants
went dead and remained so for years.
The game was true at Mingo and Bril-
liant. The Brilliant mill was finally
RACED, after considerable Wheeling cap
ital was sunk there. but George A.
Laughlin has persevered and to-day he
has opened up and is operating one of
the finest eouinped coal shaft mines in
the valley at Brilliant.
Mingo Junction. after various chang
es from the Junction Iron Co. to the
Aetna-standard and to the Nationel
Steel Co. and u 8. Steel CORPORATION,
has progressed and recovered from the
effect of the decay of the cut nail. due
largely to the ENTERPRISE OF Wheeling
men with their capital. ready to keen
ph-eaet of tho tirres and put in steel
plants, furnaces, blooming mills, etc.,

The question of names has always
been hard one for actors. Tim Muir
ply has always found his baptismai
burden especially heavy. He has often
threatened 10 change and has announc-
ed a change to try the public pulse,
but in the end retains his now celebrat-
ed trade mark. 70 those who have
seen Mr.. Murphy act it stands for
refined COMEDIAN who understands
American types as no one else since
John Owens and John T. Raymond.
Perhaps those who have not seen him
act imagine he is farce comedian in
stead of q natural American artist.
When he appeared in st. Louis this
month in his new success, "A Capitol
Comedy" the critic of the Star" wrote
thus about names, and this comedians

the program this week. Thanks be.

consummation devoutly to be wished.
Tim embraces a wide sweep of fun

sounds welded by the tongue in the
juxtaposition of these three letters is
soothing to the ear. But there is not
poetry nor humor nor possibilities IN
Timothy. When Nat was on the

But the burden of Mr.. Nathaniel was
too much for the pc y comedian. he
has not survived the bow. He has be-
come morose and got to playing Shy

people sad. The'4 was a vague snspi-
cion that Mr.. Murphy was coming TO

The story from which the play Mad
cline of Fort Reno is taken is from &C.
tual facts and happenings that occur
red in and about Fort Reno when Gen.
eral Custer was stationed there. The
scenes of the play shifts from 0klaho-
ma to the Little Big Horn river where
the famous Custer massacre occurred.
All scenery and properties required for
the production are carried by the COM
pany which insures flrst-class pres
entation here. The play is in five acts,
seven scenes and two tableaux and the
cast of players is all that could be de-
sired. Miss Jewell Darrell, the lead
ing lady who assumes the title role of
Madeline, is late of the Froman forces
and is beautiful and talented actress.
Mr.. Charles b. Owens, who imperson-
ates General Custer, is said to be, phys
ically and dramatically, an exact coun-
terpart of the character. Master Jack

of General Custer. Madeline of Fort
