NAY 1sT.
LOCAL MILL WILL CONTINUE
In Operation Under the SteubenvilIe
Ohices-Rem0vaI to be Made Be-
cause the Company Will Have
Larger Interests In the Ohio Town
Than In Wheeling.

The general Offices of the La Belle
Iron Works. which have been Wheel
ing ever since the company was or
ganl7ed, will be removed to Steuben-
vile, O., after May LIST The company
has completed its plans, and the mem
bers OF the Office force are making ar
rangenlents for securing houses in
~Steubenville. Some Of them have al
ready rented property.
This fact, to these who were &C
quainted with it, has been regarded as
confrmatory of the reports that the
La Belle Company intends to discon-
tinue its Wheeling mills, and concen-
trate its extensive interests at Steuben-
vile. This. however, is not true. The
company, as heretofore stated In the
Register, has purchased a large amount
of property in ~Steubenyille. upon which
it proposes to make extensive improve
mem and additions.
The betterments to the Steubenville
plant will mean that the La Belle will
have much more extensive interests
in hat city than in Wheeling. 1t is
for this eason that the offices are to
be removed. 1t will be Just as easysto
manage the business of the Wheeling
mill from the Steubenvilie Office, as it
has been to look after the Steubenville
property from the Wheeling office.
This information comes from a prom
inent official of the La Belle Company,
who further said in discussing the re-
moyal of the offices:
1T is the best thing we could DO.
Our reason for making the purchases
of real estate in S~teubenville Is be-
cause we could secure no property near
u South Side plant. Our mill and
the American tin plate will take up
all the available ground that is at that
location"

They Got 1t.

Two young men of this town went
over to Beliaire yesterday and took
their jag with them. They got into
some body's saloon over there and
started 10 run the joint. In the back
room was a lady" and several men
who did not care to be broken in on.
The two Benwood men, however, in
sisted on joining in and they got what
was coming. The lady armed herself
with a baseball bat and was very much
in evidence. The two men fastened to
their side of the river before receiving
surgical aid. Both were badly beaten
up about the head. Both. had gashes
which had to be sewed up.

PARKERSBURG. W. Va, April Be
ginning July first, the first of the fiscal
year, Parkersburg will be a frst-class
postoffice. The receipts of the office have
steadily increased for the last ten years
and in the year ending March 81, the
ness of forty thousand dollars is required

having passed that point Parkersburg will
be a frst-class office as soon as it is pos
sible to put the order into effect. 1t is the
only frst-class postoffice in the State out
side of Wheeling, and the business of the
ofice Is far in excess of any other office
in the State. except Wheeling. In the last
two years the postoffice receipts have in
creased more than $1,000. This will bear
out the claim of Parkersburg that it was
not fairly treated in the taking of the CEN
sus. for there is no surer guage OF a city's
size and prosperity than by the postoffice
receipts.

'The Pik.

QLhOuAe - YO,o~ioO
The Bethany pike.
The Board adopted a resolution pro-
viding that hereafter the Wheeling,
West Liberty and Bethany pike shall
DE maintained and improved under
thu same rules as other county roads,
and the supervisors shall render their
accounts and receive their compensa-
ton in the sane manner as other road
supervisors.
This action was based upon an opin-
ion in the manner rendered by the Pro-
scouting Attorney. 1t has been the
custom from time immemorial for the
Sheriff to turn the road taxes collected
from property owners along the pike,
into the hands of the supervisors of
the road, to be expended by them. The
system has been unsatisfactory. Mr..
Nesbitt found no State statute, or ord
nance of the Board to authorize this
procedure, and gave the opinion that
the practice was based upon custom
only.
Tolls on National Road.
Prosecuting Attorney Nesbitt sub
mitted the following important opin-
Ion:
Until a few days ago, it was my
opinion that the amendment to the toll
law passed at the last session of the
Legislature, forbade the collection of
tolls on the Cumberland road. Since
that time | have found the act of Con-
gress turning the road over to Vir-
ginia. This act shows plainly that the
government has not relinquisned its
rights over the highway.
ct is my opinion that the right to
collect tolls on the Cumberland Road
has not been taken away from Ohio
county,"
1t will be remembered that the last
Legislature passed a bill offered by Mr..
McColloch which, in effect. abolishes
all tolls in Ohio county. The Board
was desirious of using the large reyen
ne from the National Road for several
years to come, and the point was rails
ed that the State could not legislate as
to the government of this highway.
Mr.. Nesbitt will render a nor extend
ed opinion on the matter within a few
days.
Licenses Granted.

cense at Roney's Point; e. Rudler at

the position that ii is not only option

This will give the Board the addi-

Upon the advice of the Prosecuting

An Actress Displays
Pusilistic Tendencies.
Imagined She Had Been
Offended.
An Akron Boy Figured In the
Scene.

An Akron student bears the distinc'
ton of having been slapped by
member of the Divine" Sarah Bern
hardt Company. The young man is
attending Western Reserve University.
1t was through no fault of his that
he incurred the displeasure sof the
pugilistic young lady. The Leader
gives the following version of the af-
fair:
While the "Divine Sara" was oc-
cupying the attention of the large
audience at the Opera House Monday
night, a real scene was being enacted
at the rear of the stage. Here an
Adelbert student by the name of
Thomas was put out of business for
brief period, due to the fact that
his face had come in contact with the
pretty little fist of one of the ac-
tresses.
1t has become time-honored Gus
tom for Adelbert college students to
act as supernumeraries for great ac-
tors and actresses. They dress up in
tin armor and serve very well as "cit-
izens" and soldiers" When they are
not shouting Long Live the King
or taking some other such part they
are, in the vernacular of the street,
'rubbering," In fact, 1t is for the
purpose of studying the play and not
for the 81 per night they get that they
act as supernumeraries. With Nine
Bernhardt the students were compel
! ed TO act for the love Of art alone,
