ed-Best Season in Theatres History
Swisher's theatre was formally and
successfully opened for the season
Thursday night by AL Fl. Wilson
aud his company in ga Prince OF
Tatters.o The house was not crowd
ed, but was well filed, and repre-
sentative audience thoroughly en-
joyed what will, no doubt, prove to
have been one of the best plays of
the season.
Mr.. Wilson, himself, was in every
way up to the expectations, even of
those best acquainted with his abil-
ty as an actor and singer. He is
thoroughly clever and delightful,
and his songs, especially, were great
Up enjoyed. Several encores and
curtain calls showed how well he
appreciated.
The presentation of the play was
greatly hindered by an accident to
the electric lighting arrangements
that happened eally in the evening
and was not repaired until the per-
Torrance was more than hat over
The stage was too small to permit
the use OF the elaborate scenery
carried For their deficiencies, am
pie apology was made, and the
audience was good enough to forget
them.
Tonight "His Nibs, the Baron
will be presented by Miss Belle Gold
and her company. This will be a
performance worth seeing. Miss
Gold has quite reputation on the
VAUDEVILLE stage. Saturday night
"The White Squaw", with an Indian
actress as the leading woman is the
attraction.
Manager Swisher says that one
of the best attractions of the near
future will be George Sydney and
his company IN "Bizzy Izzy." Sew
eral MorGantown people went to
Fairmont last season to see this
SHOW, and came back thoroughly
pleased with the entertainment.
This is to be played October LIST.
Manager Swisher says that ar
rangements will be made to main
tain the best oil order at all perform
ances this winter. One or more
policemen will be present at each
show and the audience will not be
annoyed by noisy or boisterous con-
duct.
This is going to be the best season
in the history of the local theatre,
and the people who are in the habit
of enjoying this form of amusement,
are looking forward to the various
performances with keen anticipation.

ABOUT TIE WABASH.
Where Some of the Camps are
Located.
People are in the Dark as 10 Exact
Route Through Marion County
Notes and Comments on the Progress
of the Preparations for Work.

The contractors for the grading Of
the Wabash have located their camps
along the route between the mouth
of Big Paw Paw at Rivcsyille and
the big tunnel near the home of
Isaac Eddy, ii Moao Igalia Gu ty
saws the Faifmpnt Free Press.
Camp No /. is just above the
Jesse G Fioyts place and has pro-
vided for quite large number of
men. Camp No 9 is located just
above Emory Hill ; place on the
Little Paw Paw Camp No. 3 is 10
Gated on a farm owned by B. s
Wilson and Brown Tenant. south
of Center, and Camp -four is located
at the mouth OF the tunnel, a mile
north of Center.
The buildings are of common lum
Der and eheaply made. sufficiently
durable for the purpose req nired.
The exact route of the road is yet
a mystery to the farmers along this
beautiful aud peaceful valley. Two
routes have been surveyed, but as
no work has been done anywhere
along the creek the location is not of
course known. Between Stafford
and Rivesville, one route shows two
and perhaps three bridges, while the
other shows but two. From stafford
up the creek the road will Cross tile
creek at number of points, no mat
ter which route is taken and there
will be plenty of bridges.
The right hand side of the creek,
going up, appears to show the best
location to the observer, while the
opposite might be to the bes. advan
tage of the company. And so it is
argued, and no one knows which will
be chosen. Like the young eolorcd
man, who offered two nice oranges
to his best girl, "fake yo'r choice,
dey's boath for yur."
Either side OF the creek affords
road bed which will be easy to build
and the contractors will no doubt
make short work Of the grading part
of it.
Telephone connections are made
with each camp and and the offices
in the city afford prompt communi-
cation.
The big tunnel, which begins near
the.residence of Isaac Eddy will be
eighteen months or two years ia
building. 1t enters the hill in the
bottom below hts house Work On
this tunnel is now going on at the
opposite side rhe air compressor
and boilers are at Stafford station
to be taken UP to the tunnel.

Will Abolish West Virginia Page.

The Pittsburg Dispatch has notified
its special correspondents over the

to that paper. This is taken to mean
that the West Virginia page will be
stopped. In case this is true the pa

features and one that has sent it far

List of Results in Teachers Examina-
tiOn-AuOther Report to be Made
Later.

Some misrepresentation prevails in
many parts Of the State with refer
ence to the apparent small number
of first grade certificates issued I'M.
der the uniform system, says the
State School journal. In this con.
nection it should be remembered
that there are nearly three thousand
outstanding number one certificates
issued to teachers under the old
system. These of course are good
in the county in which issued, and
they run from one to three years
There are also some number two GER
tificates good for one year. Natural
ly, then, by far the largest percen-
tages of the applicants were teachers
who held lower grades, or who had
never taught. In most counties more
number one certificates were issued
than were previously held Of that
grade by the applicants.
In the two examinations already
given, there were 1857 applicants.
OF this number, 1888 had never
taught. Certificates has been issued

The physicians OF the city who
have been interested in the main.
tenance of the City Hospital have
decided to secure charter of in
corporation. The plans are not yet
matured, but the charter will be
applied for in a few weeks.
Il meeting will be held to discuss
some questions OF management, CAPT.
talization, organization, the number
Of stockholders and like matters, and
when these things are settled COM
pany will be incorporated.
The hospital has been moved from
the old building on High street to the
Wallace Cottage on Wiley. The new
location is fine one, and the rooms
that have been fitted up are much
more pleasant and attractive than
those 10 the old building.
The plumbers OF the city have been
doing handsome thing for the hos
pital Several firms have donated
ath-tubs, wash stands, chandeliers
and latratory fixtures. Other men,
bers OF the craft will do likewise.
The churches of the city are col-

Sault Ste Marie. Mich. Oct. lit was
announced this morning, by an official
of the Consolidated Lake Superior COM
pany. that the street car employees on the
lines in the American and Canadian 500
will be paid to-day. The receipts of the
traction lines, the cars of which have
been running steadily except for one day,
when the Canadian line was stopped be-
cause of the rottng at the company s
headquarters are said to be sufficient to
have made 1t possible to pay the men.
There was nothing this morning to dis
turb the Canadian 500. Colonel Buchan.
in command of the Canadian soldiers, said
that about $50 of the men would leave for
Toronto to-day. This will leave 2b0 men,
including the local militia to quell any dis
turbances which. however, are now re-
garded as unlikely.
The miners from Michipocoten. who
were expected to arrive this morning,
have not yet reached here, the steamer
carrying them being delayed by the heavy
fog. They will be met on arrival here by
the troops. The one hundred or more en-
plOyeS, who were not brought back from
Wilde yesterday, will probably arrive to-
day.
Several of the men who arrived last
night from Wilde under a guard Of SOL
diers appeared at the company's offices
this morning to get their time checks.
A few foreigners wanted money instead,
but they were quiet and orderly and after
receiving the time checks went away.
