The new melodrama, "a Desper-
ate Chance" by Theodore Kremer.
Author of the Fatal Wedding"
Power behind the Throne" and
other succes ses, will be the attraction
at the Auditorium tonight. Mr..
Kremer has taken the play from
incidents suggested by the exciting
lives of the celebrated Biddle
Brothers. While they are largely
concerned In the plot, they are
not made heroes nor held up for
shining examples for the rising
generation to emulate. They are
rather types around which the
story revolves. There Is plenty OF
heart interest furnished by the
wife of the warden. who, while
under the spell of the strong per-
sonality of the elder brother, Ed,
aids the criminals to escape,
leaving home, husband and child,
and only recovering her senses
after the brothers have been killed,
as they are endeavoring TO escape.
The child Is very prominent and Is
largely responsible for the recon-
cil!atiou that eventually takes place
between the warden and his wife,

A NEW BANK.
To be Started in This City Soon.

" pC Skot SON ut ihS wy wv"
We are going to have another
National Bank In Sistersville. 1t
will be known as the Peoples
Bank" A charter has been granted
to DR.. G B. West. T. G. Neale, J.R.
Kincade, Samuel McCoach and E
Roome, of this city, by the Comp
troller of Currency. We Under
stand the old building last occupied
by Ankrom's furniture store Is to be
tom down and a handsome three
story stone and brick building will
be erected on the site. The base
ment will be large and we'll lighted,
the second floor used for
store room and banking
house and the other stories
arranged for Offices. The building
when completed will be one of the
handsomest and most substantial
buildings In the city and will be a
great Improvement to our city.
Judging from this move our capt.
alists evidently think Sistersville IS
going to boom and grow. We are
clad to note these substantial i'm
provements under contemplation.
Banks are necessary to the growth
of every city, but we did think we
had enough of them here, but these
gentlemen think otherwise and will
no doubt make a success of the
venture. The capital stock of the
new bank Is $4,000.

THE JUICY
BIG BIRD
is BOOSTING on High Branches
Just Now.
Also HIGHER in Price Than Ever Before
Heavy Sale for Turkeys is Expected
For Thanksgiving. r

l. liz SA&hS "a ~~-~
known as the turkey Is almost here:
Soon the wholesale execution will
begin In the country, and they will
be brought In to feed the people
who have set aside day upon
which to return thanks and eat
turkey. While 1t may be true that
there Is heaven for the lower or
der of animals-and the Britannica
designates the turkey as an animal
but surely 1t Is not In the same
place as that of human beings. 1t
so what an uncomfortable feeling
the departed souls Of the big Amer
lean bird must have among the
shade of those who were their
wholesale slayers on this side OF
the ethereal ferry.
To get back to the real subject
of this article, the time Is getting
close, and the turkeys are taking a
high place In the trees and on the
price list as we'll. There Is said to
be a turkey trust that Is gobbling
up all the gobblers, and other poul-
try for speculative purposes. This
trust will not cut much figure IN
this section, however. 1t Is the
same old question of buying them
up and selling them In the ordinary
independent way. Nevertheless
they will be high. They are high
now, and 1t Is said that the luscious
holiday bird will bells due partly to
the fact that everything else Is high
and the turkeys have to match
them ~
Most of the dealers have already
bought up their stock. These are
mostly bought through the agency
of hucksters, who canvass the
houses of the farmers for miles
around and take the orders In adj
vance. Some of the farmers, how
ever, who raise them In largdr mum
bers than the others, save the mid
dleman's profit and sell direct to
the retailers themselves.
Last year turkeys were selling
here at IL and IS cents. Around
the holidays they went up as high
as Is cents and local dealer sta ed
that that was the highest he had
ever sold them at. But this year
they 20 lar beyond 1t, and are sell
ing now at IS, 20 and even as high
as ~ cents. These prices will 60
down somewhat when the Thanks
giving trade opens, but even those
who are figuring on carrying the
banner do not expect to sell them
lower than IS cents.
The slaughter of the turkeys In
the country will begin Tuesday, so
as to get them into town In time
for the sale Wednesday and Thurs
day. They will be gathered In by
the hucksters and brought In Tues
day evening. Some OF the buyers
get them on foot. This Is the case
usually with the Pittsburg buyers,
and they are selling In this way at
II and IL cents.
There promises to be some warm
competition among the local deal
ers. The market Is rather I'm
certain one, and there Is the danger
of either buying too many or too
few to supply the demand. In the
former case, of course, there Is a
loss, and In fact,i either case there
is loss from iniudicious buying.

RnptsL10ANs WIN
The General Elections Tuesday.
DEMOCRATS MAKE THE BEST FIGHT SINCE
1892.

- The result of the general elections
throughout the United States, Tuesday,
shows that the Republicans won, but
by greatly reduced maiorities.
Their majority in the Lower House
of Congress was cut down from Al to -
or 20. 1t was in the election Of Con-
gressmen that the great interest cen
tered. Up to two weeks ago few Dem
'ocrats had any expectations of victory
bun the tremendous gains that then
turned towards the Democrats build NJ
the hlgest expectations.
The greatesl disappointment to Dem
| ocrats will be our failure to carry the
State of New York. The Democrats
had a strong ticket il that State, anC
the party practically united. But while
the Republicans carried the State, thu
Democrats gained III Congress. an'
henceforth New ork is at least a doubt
full state.
The Democrats IN addition TO genera
gains held all the old Democyati
| States.
The Democratic party is in bette
fighting trim now, more nearly unitea
aud thereby gives better warrant 70
future victories than any time sine
1892.

HOW To LIVE LONG AND We'll.

What one thing do you think is most
conductive to longevity Probably the
answers to this question would be al
most as numerous as the persons wLo
made them. Ten prominent Boone
county (MissourD septuagenarians and
one octogenarian were asked this, and
it is an interesting fact that most OF
them think hard work is essential to
long life.
"Judicious exercise is the basis OF
long life" says K. b. Price, aged 20,
president of the Boone County Nation
al bank. IF you will saw your cook
wood you will add ten years to yd3r
life. Do not quit work. Old age
comes on more rapidly to those who are
ont of active business than to those who
work hard"
"Go to bed early and get up early,
is the first rule which John Butler,
aged "a, would lay down. "Never stop
TO loaf. Let liquor alone. Wear out,
but do not rust out. Liquor and lazi-
ness cut many peoples lives short"

The Democratic party. simon pure, is
not opposed to combinations OF capital.

absolutely essential to the prosperity.
development and progress of the
country And democrats would con-
tribute in every way possibly to indi-

principle of Democracy. Therefore. a
democrat believes that any law or
policy that prevents free competition, OF

another class, is wrong. Hence that
small combination should have an

ALL ABOUT STRIKES.
Only the courier's Opinion

(ui1 ti4C OOa4 AOA . -
1t is sound Democratic doctrine that
all classes of property and property
rights should be sacretly protected amp
guaranteed. Without such safe guards
no political party can serve the best
interests Of the people, or long enjoy
the peoples confidence. The smallest
properry owner should be protected.
and 40 also should the millionaire and
the multi- millionaire. The same laws
shonld apply to each, and the full
mower of the Government should pro
tect each and all alike. But a mans
labor is property just as much as houses
and lots and stocks and bonds. 1t IS
al the property that vast number OF
naonle have. To legitimate extent 1t
has the sans rights to combine as has
cap,tal. companies or corporations
Zach man has the right TO control his
own labor, and to combine with others
for mutual interests. but At has no
right TO control the labor Of sthers who
do not want to combine or JOIN their
u.ions. When strike occurs there
are differences existing between the
GENERATORS and the employees Both
sides have rights, and Democracy
teaches that both should stand equal

THE EXPANSION POLICY
Only The oourier's Opinion.

Up to the war with Spain, the Demo
cratic party had acquired nearly all the
territory that had been added to the
original ID colonies. Hence it was the
party of expansion. At the close of the
war with Mexico it was bitterly de-
neunced as such. At the beginning OF
the war with Spain an immense major
ity of the people would have condemned
the policy of acquiring the Philippine
Islands. The Courier still thinks 1t
yas,a vi ongf'sl policy PIT in the
mad previously acquired territory from
Mexico. Henceforth it is only ques-
ZION of how to deal with the people OF
these Islands. The Democracy can not
believe in holding these people as per
petual subjects the Republic can not
exist half free and half slave" as the
Republicans used to tell US. The Fill
pinos should have every advantage and
encouragement in the pursuit OF happi-
ness. prosperity and liberty. The treat
ment accorded Cuba is good example.
Or the treatment accorded the territory
acquired from Mexico. These people
are human beings, they are children OF
the same God we worship, and are en-
titled to every blessing possibly TO be
accorded TO them.
