At the Head
Of Them All
The Sweetest Girl In Dixie Soon to
Be Sen Here,

It is with pleasure that Manager
Powell Of the Grand Opera House
announces the presentation of "The
Sweetest Girl In Dixie" for wednes-
day, September IL.
This Is one of the few really South
ern plays,( and it will no doubt be
greeted with a large audience.
In speaking of the play tne Calves
ton Tribune says: "Tn the midst Of
a fast llfe-an age of strenuousness
and actiyity-when human beings are
too busy with the problems Of the
world to stop for a second to look
upon the brighter side Of life and Its
obligations and duties; when men, and
women rise and fall like the flowers
that bloom and fade away in the rain
and sunshine. there is nevertheless
hidden In the depths OF the human
soul a capacity for feeling respon-
siye chord, which when touched with
pictures Of home, of love and honor,
melts like snow in the Offering sum
shine and prompts the person to live
a better life and be happier in their
homes and surroundings.
Such was the picture Of pathos, Of
love for home and cherished memo
1tes of bygone days which was pre-
sented to those attending the per-
forlnances of "The Sweetest Girl in
Dixie" at the Grand yesterday mat
inee and night, and few persons there
were who did not at some time during
the play feel a tear tricklng down the
cheek.

THIS MORN

Marcus stlyernaa Of wheeling was
admitted to the city hDspita this
morning The man was in front Of
the court house when he sal!1ted 20
llceman Ross and asked him to assist
him in getting to a hospital. Silver
man was taken to the mayor ONCE
and Drs. Henry and Carr were SUM
omned to his aid. The doctors made
an examination and advised that he
be taken to a hospital. The city. hos
pltal was called up and an ambulance
was ordered up 70 convey the suffer
ing man to that Institution.
silyerman is a Jew. aged twenty
nine years. He came to this country
from Bohemia Eve years ago. He was
employed in Wheeling by the Baltt-
more & Ohio Railroad Company. Sew
eral weeks ago he was admitted to
the Johns Hopkins hospital at Balt:-
more where he underwent an opera
ton for appendicitis. The operation
was not altogether successful and he
had to submit to four more operations.
He was getting along nicely and re-
turned to Wheeling to report for duty.
The employment bureau of the Baltl-
more & Ohio Company at Wheeling
gave him transportation for Falrmont
where he was to go to work. He came
here last night and this morning
about four O'Clock he was attacked
with violent pain in the right side Of
the abdomen, near the place where
the appendix is located. The doctors
thought that he was suffering from
an obstruction Of the intestlnes.
An examination Of stlvermar at the
hospital disclosed the fact that there
was large accumulation Of pus in
the abdomen. He would not undergo
another operation, stating that ne
would rather die than be operated
upon again. He said that DR.. How
ard Kelley, of Baltimore, operated
upon him and that the surgeon said
afterward that 1t was no use for him
to be placed upon the table any more
for the adhesion Of his tntestlnes was
so great that it was useless to ope-
rate any more. The doctors gave him
a high injection Of salt water In
about an hour after sflverman called
for his clothes and left the institu-
ton. Since leaving the hospital he
has not been heard Of.
This was one Of the rare instances
where Jew fell into the hands of
the gentiles for charity.
