Mr.. Cleveland, practical glass
man, of Rochester, Pa, IS here
looking for isite to build a glass
plant to manufacture all kinds OF
pressed glass ware, similar to the
plant at Moundsville, known as the
Fostoria Glass plant. Mr.. Cleve-
land Is no relation to the arch trail
tor Grover Cleveland. He IS look
Ing over the site offered to him at
Paden City. He Is offered up there
three acres of land free, e,and gas at 7
cents per thousand feet. The com
pany to furnish him cash loan In
addition sufficient to build and
equip the plant. He was up on
yesterday looking over the ground
and went up again this afternoon.
One trouble the Paden City COM
pany Is meeting with Is the fact
that there are no families at Paden
City yet and they do not see where
they are to get laborers, Is the OBJ
jections offered by men who are
seeking locations. Mr.. Cleveland

Hiney Harris Insane.

Intelligence was received here
yesterday that the citizens ofIuka In
this county are excited over the Pc
cular actions of Hiney Harris, who
lives at that place. 1t appears that
the family has received quite a lit
tie money from the death of a rela-
tive, and Sunday night Mr.. Harris,
went to the home of neighbor
and asked for shelter and protec-
ton, telling them that he was
afraid to remain at his home as his
wife and arother man had tried to
chloroform him twice.
He talked In such rambling and
unintelligable manner that he was
placed In a room and guarded all
night and the next day was taken
to Middlebourne where he will be
examined to ascertain whether he
Is sane or not. The neighbors oi
the family do not believe the mans
story.

A GLASS MAN SEEK.
ING A LOCATION

today informed US he always
thought we had such plant here
or he would have visited us before.
He Is interested In a plant now at
Clarksburg. He Is a very pleasant
gentleman to meet and seems to
thoroughly understand his business.
He asks nothing our people could
not we'll afford to do and beperfectly
safe. Why not make an effort to
get some such plants In good old
Slstersville. We need them. We
have the labor and the labor needs
the work. Why not get to work
and locate plant or two here along
with the plants at Paden City.
Mr.. Cleveland Is we'll pleased
with our city. Said he had been
In New Martinsville and some 9th
er things that we will not mention.
But he honestly thinks Sistervllle
Is a tiny bit ahead of the boom
town. Strange as 1t may seem to
some people, that Is what he thinks
He will remain here a day or two
before he returns and will then
definitely decide about locating at
Paden City,

We think that this Is very i'm
portant question to be answered at
this time. The projectors of Paden
City are getting manufacturing
plants to locate In that new city.
In order to induce capital to locate
there they advertise that they
have locations above high water
mark. We have the same thing
here, In fact, its we'll known fact
Sistersville and Eureka are two OF
the highest points on the Ohio Riv'
er railroad.
An other inducement is,the COM
pany will give free sites. We can
get sites here for stock, or, If 1t be-
comes necessary, we could buy and
donate the properly sufficient for
free site.
An other inducement offered by
the Paden City people Is cheap gas
We have cheap gas here and abun-
dance oft.
In addition to this we will have
lots for sale In Garry Owen In
very few days. We have cheaper
lots for sale on the river hill. We

EnterpriSe and Merit the Backbone OfthiS
Vast Business

The supremacy of this store is not
due to chance or accident. 1t has been
striven for. We tried hard to succeed.
But success here does not stife effort.
We not only rigidly maintain the high
standard to which we have raised our
merchandise, but better it whenever
betterment is possible.
We improve as we go along-have
been doing it since in business, until
now. We place before the people of
Sistersville line of merchandise that
has every fine point of good quality.
Even our lowest priced goods possess
exceptional good merits.
For Years This Store
has shown the largest Ladies Ready
made.to-wear stock in this section of
the country, and this Spring the stock
is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening
out of this business necessitated it. 1t
logically follows that Our purchasing
poweris correspondingly greater: Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before, Nothing
startling about our low prices, ANY dealer
(even the smallest) can meet them.
Its i'm the goods at the price,
that's where!nour leadership lies.

TROUBLES OF AN EXPERT.
Marriage Specialist an LOuisiana
VIII sometimes Had UnpIeas-
ant Experiences,

"Over in Jefferson parish there is
a man who makes a speciality of
marrying people, according to a story
I heard Sheriff Marrero tell the
other day." said a man who lives
across the river, relates the Brook
lyn Eagle, land the sheriff was tell
ing a rather good story the other
day while talking to a group of
friends. An italian couple had called
on the gentleman whose official posi-
tion gave him the right to perform
the marriage, and after considerable
palavering made it known that they
wanted to be married. They could
not speak English, and it was some
time before the man, who IS an ex-
pert, could understand exactly what
they wanted. But the truth was fin
ally wrung from them, and tie Off
Ger assured them that he was the
proper person to perform the cere-
mony. 1t was in his office. They
had been standing all the while, and
without further to do about it the
man proceeded with the ceremony.
AT the proper time he asked each
Of them the usual question and with
some Indifference. He held his book
in his hand all the whiles When the
ceremony had concluded the mar
rage expert said his fee was $40.
The italian understood this request.
Tt was the first thing he had under
stood. About that time he began to
roll out a few remarks in his native
tongue. In the meantime a country
mar of the groom's had dropped in,
and proceeded to find out what the
matter was. He held a conversation
with the italian. Directly he walked
in to the expert and told him what
it was all about. He wants TO get
married, judge, said the italian.

ute ago. Then he doesn't know It,
said the italian, and he wants to be
married by a priest, and in the
church. The expert held on to his
$40. The italian was directed to the
church and was married again within
a few minutes, Up to this good day
he does not know why the marriage
expert made him give up $40. He be-
heves he was swindled. But it all
taught the expert a lesson. He can
say the service now in Italian, or in
Chinese, or any other language for
that matter. He has grown to be an
expert in fact, and you can't stump
him now.
But he has other kinds of trouble,
according to Jefferson's sheriff" the
narrator continued, ''and up to a
short while ago he found himself
coming out at the little end Of the
horn now and then. His patrons had
been in the habit Of handing him an
envelope at the end OF the service
with a bill in it. 1t was his S
tom to receive it and open the en-
yelope after the departure of the
newly married couple. He did not
think it was exactly romantic to
open the envelope before the cou-
pie had left. Up to a certain time
he had never received less than five
dollars for performing the ceremony.
Some time ago he was called upon to
marry a couple and as usual at the
end of the ceremony the man hand
ed the expert an envelope. In due
time he opened it and found that it
contained a one-dollar bill. The fell
low was gone and the expert nearly
had spasms over the small Offering.
He said he didn't a ? much about
the money. He would marry a man
for nothing if the fellow didn't have
the price and would be man enough
to say so. But one dollarl II was
an insult to the dignity of the court,
and the man who offered it-wen, the
same was a cheap screw.
But he finally forgot the little
incident and kept on marrying people
in the meantime and getting his lit
tie envelope every time after the GER
emony-always five dollars and up.
One afternoon a long, lean, rough
handed laborer walked into his Of
fee with a young woman. She was
clad in a greenish dress, spoke with
a rich, sweet brogue, and was not a
bad specimen of womanhood. Thev
wanted to get married, so the man
explained in a timid sort of way,
and wanted to get married right

book, put on his. sanctimonious.
/ rolled his eyes and got busy The
usual 7 dos were soon said. and the
thing was over. The bride and
groom shook hands with the man
who had performed the ceremony.
the groom handed him an e~nyelops
and left. AS soon as the bride and
groom were out Of sight the expert
pulled the envelope out of his pocket,
tore the end of and drew a piece OF
paper out, on which he found these
words: Due bearer five dollars.
The expert came very near throwing
his service book away. ANY man
who would marry on a due bill-weH.
that was the limit. But the story
ended well. The man called around
on the first pay day and took up the
due bin, and he was so happy over
his good Iudk that he insisted on Civ
ing the expert a few dollars extra
and said at that il was the best bar
gain he had ever made"
