Side Tracked.

Manager Swisher'S Offering for Jan
10th is the ever welcome comedy pro-
duction "Side Tracked The prin-
cipal figure in the piece is tramp,
through whose persistent efforts d
mysterious crime is finally cleared up
The tramp proyokes great deal of
fun. He is constantly getting into
trouble, but ia the end proves the
truth of the old maxim that a noble
heart oft beats under a ragged coat
In the second act the tramp is side.
tracked on the limited freight, and
here an opportunity is offered for the
display of ingenious mechanical eff
fects. A full train of cars crosses the
stage, and the tramp scrambles out of
a car while the train is in motion.
There are four acts in the play,
each one seeming funnier than the
one proceeding, and the audience is
kept continually laughing Inter
woven into the comedy, which is the
main element, is a pretty and pathetic
little story. 1t tells of mysterious
crime, which is only solved by the
perseverance of the good uatured
tramp. There is snap and dash
about the play that makes it ''go''
with the whole house, the gallery as
well as the downstairs portion.

TURN YEREIN CLOSED.
Seneca Club House is Deserted
Today

Action Taken at Last Nights Session
termaus Voted Solidly for 1t aud
Americans against itConrts will be
Called on TO Settle the Matter.
The Turn verein Club House has
been closed. This action was taken
after meeting Of the trustees held
at the club house on Wednesday
night. The vote for closing it stood
8 to 4. The German element voted
to close it and the Americans OPP
posed it.
All OF the proceeding were carried
on in German and the German mem
bers refused 10 tell why the action
was taken or to discuss il in any
way. One of the Americans was
seen by this paper to-day. He said
Il don't know the reasons which
impelled them TO act in this manner.
They have refused TO tell me any
thing about it. | couldn't under.
stand what they were talking about
except to know that they wanted to
NtOot. NObSd dA&lHSA lts IL my
mind there is no reason in stopping
it.
No time was fixed at which the
club was TO reopen The bar tender
was discharged. | don't know what
action will be taken by the Ameri-
cans and don't know what the Ger
mans propose to do. Ii is fair to
say that not all of the Germans are
with the officers in the stand that
has been taken"
Nothing could be learned from
the other side OF the controversy.
1t is certain however that the affairs
OF the club will be aired In the courts
and The courts will be asked TO define
the rights of the officers and OF the
individual members.
Action toward this will be taken in
few days. A we'll known member
has proposed to get all the members
together shortly and after taking
legal advice To take whatever steps
may be necessary in the premises He
said that a call would be issued for
this in day or SO. Ia The meantime
there is nothing doing.

When the announcement was
maGe that the West Virginia len
trail had sold to the Pennsylvania
there was lots of growing all over
the state. This has been changed
into chorus of glad acclaim by the
following interview with Col. Thos.
B. Davis, of Keyser:
Eyes, we have sold the road and
are all well pleased with the sale.
The papers are, however in error in
many things. We got much more
money than the price stated, which
was S17,000,000. OF course | am not
at liberty to say anything, but it IS
certain that the Wabash will extend
from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, via Parkers
burg, TO Elkins, w. Va, over what
is known as the Little Kanawha
road, to connect with the West Vir.
ginia Central, and that from Elkins
the Wabash will build to tide wa
ter"
This positive statement would in
dictate that the Wabash or Gould
interests are positively the purchas-
ers of the West Virginia Central.
Continuing, Colonel Davis said:
Throughout the negotiations,
Senator Elkins has had the interests
of the state of West Virginia fore
most and the deal which has been
made will be te the best interests Of
the state at large as well as to the
shippes along the line and to the
employers of the railroad The pres
ent organization OF the road will not
be changed by the interests which
have purchased il"
Commenting on this sale DIR. l. c.
White to-day said to the New Do
MINIoN that ne had no doubt that
the Wabash would shortly come in
to this county. They will come
after the tremendous holdings OF
coal which Elkins has in the coun-
ty.
OF course there was no telling
when they will come but that the
road was more than a possibility is
guaranteed from the sale of the West
Virginia Central to the Wabash.
The road will come to Waynesburg
soon and from there it will be a com
paratively easy matter to bring it
on into this state.
He is very much pleased with the
outlook and is glad to learn that the
reported sale TO the Pennsylvania is
not true. 1t would have meant that
West Virginia and particularly Mo
nongalia county had received very
black eye.
