BUILDING BOOM
Beautiful Town Of ReedSTille GROW.
iDs Rapidly
MORE THAN DOUBLED THIS YEAR
New Sehoolheuso TO 20 Erected Bust
ness Block Being Built Many
Handsome Homes

The beautiful little town OF Reeds
vile, eight miles west Of Kingwood
on the line OF the Nj, * X. railroad,
is booming and building as it never
did before IN its history. Situated
in beautiful valley, the basin OF
an inland lake in the ages of the
past, no loveher location in the
county could be found for city or
a large and prosperous town. The
village has more than doubled itself
IN the past year and now has several
fine buildings on the way
The double schoolhouse was found
to be entirely too small f9r the pu-
pills this past winter and now the
school board proposes To move it to
Browns Mill, three miles south,
and establish new school there
and erect fine two story building
for Reedsville with at least four
rooms. The contract will be let
soon, and will likely be for brick
building.
James +. Dill has a handsome two
story residence OF seven rooms,
basement and heater, about ready
to occupy by himself and bride.
Hon. John SAINT Dunn is prepar.
ing TO erect the finest business build
ing in the town. 1t will be located
near the depot and the excavation
is about ready for the stone work.
1t will be IS by 90 feet and three
stories high with basement story,
and will be OF brick veneer. The
brick comes from Morgantown. The
front will be plate glass and very
snowy. The whole building will be
heated from n furnace in the base
ment. Mr.. Dunn expects to super.
intend the erection Of the structure
himself and see that a good job Is
done. lie is not sure yet whether
he will use it himself or rent for
stores and business. The location
is Just above the station and front
ing on the Main street OF the town,
running north and south.
Grant Shoemaker, who came there
year ago from Pennsylvania and
has been engaged in the lumber
business, is building a two story
frame dwelling for himself
Ed Tusing is erecting an addition
to his hardware store for q residence
and to enlarge his business.
DR.. Fortney has purchased a fine
lot right in the heart of the town,
just south OF Cobun's store, and will
build a s., 900 residence on it this
summer. He sold his handsome
cottage last fall to Thomas Tanner
the sawmill man.
All the new buildings have base
ment and heater under them, as the
old time stoves and CRATES are being
done away with.
The only thing wrong with the
town Just now is the old building,
occupied for so many years for store
and postoffice, belonging to Mrs.
David Wheeler, is now vacant
Keys & Son, who have occupied ii
for some time, having moved to
West Kingwood, where they have a
brand new store building. The old
Wheeler store Is the landmark Of the
town, located right in the center on
the corner Of the two leading streets
and looks bad TO stand empty. II
will likely be occupied before long
If they car scare the rats away, as
the Keys firm claim the rats drove
them out.

TO WASHINGTON BY AIR
Balloon Voyage From ST. Louis to

St Louis. April 27.-Two balloons
the America and the Orient. are being
inflated today, and weather conditions
being favorable, ascenSions will be
made tonight by Aeronaut J. c. Mccoy
of the Aero club of New York city,
and Captain Charles De F. Chandler,
United States signal corps, in the
Americas basket, and Aeronauts AL
Ian r. Hawley and Leo Stevens of New
York in the Orient's basket.
1t is the intention of Mccoy and
Chandler to ascend at Z O'Clock this
evening and undertake a trip to Wash
ington, d. c.. in an endeavor to win
the Lahm cup offered by Captain
Frank Lahm. United States army, for
a continuous voyage covering the
greatest number of miles.
Hawley and Stevens are to ascend
at midnight to test the air conditions
in this vicinity in the interest of the
balloon tournament to be held here in
October.
The America has a gas bag SO feet
in diameter and a displacement of
$4,000 cubic feet. With its car and
equipment the balloon weighs 1900
pounds.
Aeronaut Mccoy expects to remain
in the air Sunday and Sunday night
Under ideal conditions he expects the
balloon to sail 25 miles an hour me
ascension is made at this time in the
month and at night in order to get the

BELLE OF RICHMOND.
The Washburn Dramatic Club at the
Grand.

A large audience witnessed the pre-
sentation of 1.-THE Belle of Richmond
at the Grand last night by members
Of the Washburn Dramatic club.
The player folks did not present
their attraction as professionals and
the audience was friendly as most
audiences are overlooking irregulari-
ties that often produced amusement
where the lines were not expected to
cause laughter.
As for the play. which is from the
pen Of a Kansan, Sidney Sommers
Toler, a Wichita boy, it affords plenty
of opportunities for good acting and
tells an interesting little story. 1t
just bristleS with love affairs which
result in three or four happy unions.
after the willy villain has been sent
his way. In fact every part in the
play provides a place for a lover of
some sort. The girls and women are
all in love with the men and vice
versa But there are couple of men
too many and these lavish their af-
fections on horses.
From the performance last night it
would be concluded that love making
has no high place on the curriculum
of WaShburn college, even though it
is a educational institution. If it
has. the instructors in this art are in
efficient and the pupils inapt. Most
of the love scenes, and they came
along with startling frequency, were
decidedly ludicrous. Both the girls
and the boys lacked ardor and vigor
in this particular pursuit, although
Walter Wedding as Charles Lee did
seem to get one extra kiss that was
not in the play when he finally plight
ed his troth to Miss Vivian futile,
who played Rosalind Mason.
The work of number of the par
ticipa nts deserves more than a pass
ing notice. Miss Hazel Larkin in the
ingenue part as Winifred Mason easily
carried off the palm among the girls
was also exceedingly clever although
her part was not an extensive one.

THE SIGN ORDINANCE.
Chief Eaton Will Grapple With Hard
Problem.

Chief Eaton has a hard job mapped
out for him. He has been instructed
by the mayor to enforce the hanging
sign ordinance. As this ordinance is
rather .evasive in it's construction, and
rather expansive in possible meaning.
a lot of trouble for the police is near
at hand. For instance, the ordinance
says "any sign suspended above any
sidewalk" Literally this includes the
names of hotels, printed upon the porte
chochere and the names of business
establishments printed upon the end
curtain of an awning. 1t is a safe
guess that the hotel men will not tear
out the names which are part of their
front porch" as they have permits
from the city to erase these appen-
dages. and the grocer and clothing
man will not submit tamely to hav-
ing the harmless cloth sign, which
could not injure anyone if it did fall
removed from their awnings. If they
are allowed to maintain these signs,
the others, who have really danger
Gus pendant signs hanging over the
sidewalk will point them out as an
example of "favoritism.'
Another ordinance, which seems,
according to the word to be the
business of the fire marshal, has been
turned over to the police. It is to

A TRAIN TO JAMESTOWN.
Dixon Planning for a Kansas Exhibit

Dixon Planning for a Kansas Exhibit
on Wheels.
Syl Dixon, who has been one of the
advertising agents of Kansas for years
with a hobby for running trains over
the United States exploiting the re-
sources of the state had another idea,
though it is along the same line as ais
others. The Syl Dixon Kansas James
town Exposition and advertising train
will leave Topeka about the first day of
September and will be en- route to its
destination for several weeks. visiting
a number Of the larger cities en- route
as we'll as On the return trip.
After tho train arrives at its destina a
ton it will form one of the exhibits
to be seen at the exposition and will
remain there as long as it continues
to excite the attention due it. There
will be about fifteen cars in the train
loaded with Kansas flour; two baggage
cars carrying an exhibit of the fruit
raised in the state as well as grain and
mineral products.
Two sleepers are to be attached to
the rear of the train for the accom-
mediation of the men who will. accom-
pany the train and sing the praises of
their particular county, as every county
in the state is entitled to a represent
tative. A band will accompany the
train and unload Kansas music at ev-
cry stopping place along the line and
become part of the exhibit wnen the
exposition city of the south is reached.
