ing from, Wheeling, and after viewing
the ruins of the theater, announced
with characteristic American pluck,
that he and his partner, Reuben Rob
tnson, would build a new and modern
opera house here as soon as possible
Definite plans toward the construc.
ton of new house have not been for
pulated as yet by Mr.. Moore and his
partner but the situation is being thor
oughly viewed and the hest plan will
be adopted within short time. Al
present the idea is to put up strict
ly fre-prof theater, elegantly
equipped and having as eating capac-
ity aout three times the house that
was burned.
The location of the house has moi
been determined. If satisfactory
terms can be agreed on between
Messrs. Moore and Robinson and the
owners of the property on which the
Grand opera house was situated, the
new house will be built there; other.
wise a new site will be chosen.
Arrangements had already been
made to enlarge the old opera house
the coming summer and an expcdf-
ture of large sum OF money for that
purpose was contemplated. The old
opera house was far too small and too
mealy equipped to accommodate the
class of attractions that were booked

fortunate than many larger cities this
winter in getting high class shows

PROPER Treatment FOR

The first thing to be done in the
treatment of Catarrh is to begin the
use of a medicine that will have
direct effect on the source of the dis
ease; in no other way can any cura-
tive progress be made. S. S. S. does
this more quickly and satisfactorily
than any other medicine. 1t is the
most penetrating of all blood puri-
fiers. thoroughly, yet gently, expel-
ling all catarrhal matter and impuri-
ties from the circulation, and by its
fine tonic properties Strengthening
and building up the system in such
healthy manner that IT is enabled to
overcome the depressing effects of
Catarrh Some local treatment is
often desired TO open the air passages
of the head and nose and relieve the
congestion and tickling" of the
throat, and other unpleasant symp-
toms. There are many helpful meas
ures which may be resorted to, and
there are others which may be HARM
full. and to aid Catarrh sufferers we
have prepared a special treatise on
the disease. which will be of great
value to any who suffer with this
trouble. This book. together with any
medical advice, free to all who write
and request it. Take S. S. S. regular
ly and according to directions, and it
will certainly remove the cause and
cure your Catarrh. S. S. S. is sold
