JOHN R0BINs0N's SHOW.
A Gorgeous, Sumptous and Impressive
Augmentation.

To speak OF the merits of John Rob-
inson's Ten Big shows Combined ia
mere cloves labor LOST with the peo-
pie of this nation. There is not an
amusement lover on the continent
that is not fully cognizant of the fact
that 1t is now and has ever been the
best among the best. Everybody does
not know however, that during the
last winters vacation the show has
received approximations so vast and so
important as to dwarf by comparison
even its own great exhibtional excel.
lence. We allude to the grand, gor-
geous and sublime Biblical spectacle
of Solomon, His Temple and the
Queen OF Sheba, in which innumer-
able people are active participants,
and which Is complete in scenographic
effect, typical production OF Biblical
personages and events prolific in pa
geantic andprocessional features lavish
in enhancing ballets and terpsichor-
can advertisements, and rich in trap
pings and appointments, requiring
for its production the largest stage
ever constructed, and conspicuously
portraying sacred events, scenes and
incidents such as the Judgment of
Solomon, Arrival OF the Queen of She
ba, the City OF David, The Palace and
Temple, the Walls and towers of Jer-
rusalem, Solomen's 700 wives, the
Sacred Ark of the Covenant, the
Great Ivory Throne, Procession of
War Chariots, Slaves bearing incense
lovely Cresset Dancing Girls, martial
and courtly parades, exciting chariot
races. This eminently moral, histor-
ical and mind elevating spectacle will
commend itself to every lover of the
sacred and beautiful.
The Robinson Show with its SUBJ
lime Spectator accession is to exhibit
in Morgantown Wednesday June 4th.

Reserves won at Clarksburg.
The game with w. and J. on Friday
reminded the spectators of some OF
the football games we have played
with that school. 1t was so different.
When the last call had been sounded
there were q runs reposing to the
credit of the Varsity and not one for
w. and j. To show how big this de-
feat was glance at the score card is
needed.
But thlrty-one visitors faced the
pitcher. They went down in one and
three order. Only four of them reach
ed frst and but two got to second and
none reached third. Washer struck
out !. ten of them and allowed but
three little hits.
All pitchers looked alike to she lo-
cal lads and they raped the ball for
twenty seven hits In which there was
home run and dozen 2 base hits.
Washer made six Of the runs.
Thornton who learned the game
here was the only visitor who acted as
II he had ever seen a baseball game.
he had six put outs and made two
hits. He received bad injury which
nearly crippled him but he stuck to
his post CALAMITY.
The local played an errorless game
while the visitors were let off with
eight mistakes. Fulton shone re-
splendent In making these. The
crowd guyed them numerically and
had 1t not been for the fun engender-
ed by this the game would have been
undressing.

What the Gazette Thinks.

News from Monongalia county is
to the effect that although the Hon.
George c Sturgiss easily defeated
the Hon. K. M. Grant, aud drove
him from the senatorial race, he is
himself long way from election.
The wicked republicans of Marion
county have conspired with one
Charles W. Swisher to beat the Hon.
George c., and the chances are that
the conspirators will win out in the
approaching convention, for they
belong to the school of political hns-
tiers, and know more about practi
cal politics in a brief half hour than
Sturgiss and his kind can accumu

ROW ON AT MASNINGTON.
Booze Makes Men Tangle But this
Time 1t is Over the Sale of the Sc
dnctiye Beverage.

uuCbl1t DtttIdSbs
A bitter war is ON in Warrington
between the saloonkeepers and the
proprietors of the drug stores. The
latter say that it is unfair tor them
to allow the druggists. to sell whisky
without prescription. They claim
that they have to pay heavy Ii
cense and then have their business
ruined by the druggists, who sell a
cheap grade of goods as promis
cuously as they please.
The druggists in turn have noti-
fed the saloonists that unless they
are left alone in the matter they will
form league to etfectually close all
of the gambling places that are con
nected with every saloon in the
town.
The saloon men have taken the
matter before Prosecuting Attorney
Charles Powell Of Fairmont and he
has written lengthy statement to
every druggist in the town warning
them against sales without the nee
essary prescription. He told them
that the first offense would be pros
ecuted to the fullest extent OF the
law.
1t is now thought that the drug
gists will appear before this official
and make complaint against the
gamblers, and if they do they will
receive very harsh treatment from
the county authorities, who at this
time are doing much to break up
the business in the county.
The fight is being watched with
much interest by many and all feel
sure that the business of one or The
other class in the fight will be ruin
ed. The drug stores will hardly pay
with the whisky business cut off,
and without the gambling places
the saloons will be dead ones.

AMERICAN TuRNeRsuND.
Adopt Resolutions Favorlns Taxation
Of All Church Property.

Davenport, Iowa, July S.-The first
subject presented Mt yesterdays ses-
sion of the national convention Of the
North American Turnerbund was n re-
newal of the movement for the exemp-
ton of property of Turner societies
from taxation. A resolution covering
the plan of procedure was presented
by Leopold Neumann of Chicago. and
1t was supported by strong speecnes
by Neumann and other delegates.
The contention of the speakers was
that the Turner properties. valued ut
S4,5O0,O00. and devoted to physical and
mental training, should not be taxed
more than schools. charities and Chris
tian association properties.
Discussion of the question resulted in
n victory for the radical branch of .-e
society. which carried the proposition
declaring for taxation of all church
property.
Chicago, st. Louis and most of the
western delegates favored the PROPOSE
tion in this form and eastern delegates
opposed 1t.
The question of admitting women to
full membership in the Turner society,
which came up for recommendation
from the mental training committee,
was stricken out by the convention by
two-thirds vote.
The upper Mississippi district, hav-
ing sent a double delegation to the con-
vention, claimed n half vote each, the
delegation was admitted, but new
bylaw was adopted prohibiting double
delegations in the future.
1t was decided not to hold the next
national Turner fest until 1905, thus
defeating the hopes of st. Louis and
Chicago delegates for 1904. The fest
was offered to Indianapolis, which has
one day to accept Pittsburg secured
the next business convention, to be
held in 1904. Indianapolis was con-
tinued as the business headquarters.
