caller here and a Carnival visitor at
Wheeling yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Phillips and
family of the Fourth ward. VIII go to
Chippewa Lake next Wednesday, 10
camp for the summer.
rwo colored men and a woman
made quite a disgraceful spectacle OF
themselves as they passed through the
city yesterday. They we're beastly in
toxicated.
The K. OF p. committee has decided
to hold their exhibition at the tobacco
ware house. The business men are TAX
ing a great interest in this carnival,
and will do all they can to make it a
success.
Many country people have passed
through this city on their way to and
from the Carnival the past week. The
pleasing feature to our merchants is
that most of them do their buying in
this city.
This city certainly needs one day po-
liceman to assist the city marshal. Mr..
Johnson has asked Council for an ex-
ira man several times, but Council does
not seem inclined to grant the request.
This need was most emphatically shown
in that stealing and escape from the
city prison a few days ago.
The 3. u. & c. will run an excursion
train from Bellaire Sunday, July 14th,
leaving at $50 a. M, to the Lewisville
oil fields, at n dollar round trip.
The excursion party will be gwen an
opportunity of seeing the great Galley
well, which flows 700 barrels per day.
This well will be turned loose, and the
oil allowed to squirt over the top of the
derrick. Train will return to Woods
field for dinner, and remain there until
5: 40 p. m, when they leave for Bel
laire.
A hay ride was hugely enjoyed by a
crowd of young people last night. They

cession. There were 1870 men In line.

Odd Fellows hall. The table was set for
-four hundred guests. Toasts were re-
sponded to by several prominent
speakers. The order is only about a
year old, and has a membership OF
about 200. They are mostly young men.

~s.rvance throughout the entire world
for Orangemen.

A prominent horse trader of this city
went out to the m yesterday to
"cut en- as he termed it, with the
gypsies in a horse trade. AS usual, the
wanderers were ready for business,
and an exchange was soon made. The
local man, having paid his boot start
ed for home. When he arrived in the
central part of the city his horse stop
ped stone still and refused to be coerced
into motion, except backward. A crowd
soon collected and offered suggestions,
and made cute remarks. A man who
knew his business came along, quietly
lifted the front foot of the horse, while
the owner pushed from the rear, and
the animal moved off as nicely as you
please for a few squares. when the
performance was repeated. Moral: Don't
trade horses with a gypsy.
