of Successful Term.

The closing exercises of the Will
sonburg public schools marked the
completion of one of the most sue
cessful terms the school has had
in recent years.

inspect the work of pupils and a
large number visited the rooms. The
work was generally acknowledged
to be highly sat sractory.
At night an audience of nearly
three hundred attended the per-
Torrance OF the romantic drama,
After Ten Years" presented by the
pupils. The actors carried their num-
bers well and the play was sue
cess. In addition, pleasing solos
were rendered by Mrs. HOLSTER,

Flora, and several recitations we're
given.
Both patrons and pupils seem to
be well pleased with the success at
tending the efforts Of those in charge

CIRCUS DRAWS
HUGE CROWDS
Splendid Exhibitions Given
Here by the Famous
Ringing Show. !

Ringing Brothers big circus did
a very good business here Friday de-
spite the threatening weather and
immense assemblage Of spectators
attended both afternoon and night
performances. A larger crowd at
tended the afternoon performance,
but at night six or seven thousand
persons we're present.
Every one was pleased and de-
light with the huge show. The per-
formances were good, clean and in
teresting throughout, the grounds
and equipment were kept as neat as
possible and the programs were car
red out like clock work. A large
and nicely kept menagerie was an
instructive and pleasing feature.
Great interest was taken in the
system OF management and very few
there were who did not express
wonder over the orderly and
methodical manner in which. the
vast enterprise was transported and
made ready for business.
Owing to the rather difficult rail-
road journey from Parkersburg to
this city and on account of having
70 unload from the train in the
East End and then to haul all Tae
clear across the city It
was impossible to give street pa
rade. The circus went from here to
Cumberland, Nd.

GASOLINE PLANT
Is to Be Erected and Operat.
ed in the Shinnston
Oil Field.

sHlNNsToN, April 20 - The
probabilities are that large gas
oline plant will he installed in the
local oil field in the near future.
The South Penn Oil Company is
making arrangements for this new
feature, but when and where the
plant will he placed have not been
fully decided. Some time ago this
company had a similar plant To-
Gated in the field. but it was aban-
doned. and the new plant will be a
second test Of this new oil he7d in
dustry. Gasoline plants are used
for the purpose of condensing the
gasoline from oil and gas in a
spraying oil well. This was former
ly waste at the we'll and the intro
duction of the new device has
caused big saving from the by
product. In the shallow territory
along the Ohio river where these
plants are used extensively, they
have been the means of bringing
riches to the operators.

HEALTH LESSON
AT SHOW HOUSE
Known as the Bijou Will Be
Given Monday Afternoon
and Night.

An interesting film regarding the
boiling of water for domestic use
will he shown In connection with
the regular program at the Bijou
theater Monday afternoon and
night.
The film is a microscopic examila-
ton OF drop of stagnant water.
The though scientific, is of SUFFICIENT
Interest to appeal to everybody in
the moving picture theaters. The
scientist assistant is seen getting
some water from nearby stream,
;hen in the laboratory the chemist
makes a slide, utilizing only drop
Of water, and this he places under
the tube of a microscope. AS he ex-
amlnes il the things he sees arc
thrown upon the screen, and it is
marvellous, indeed, the number of
tiny though dreadful looking bugs
that inhab!t this one single drop OF
water. Among other things shown
S the germ that causes typhoid
fever, magnifed some 10000 times:
also a daphnia, a most interesting
individual; an ostracoda,
who wigsles most delightfully."-; also
a rotifer, who is noted principally
for his peculiar method OF spinning.
Another member of the family is the
copepod, carrying her eggs, which
'ook like a couple of punches OF
Malaga grapes. The ostracoda me-
anders along by means of spiral
spring which he seems to release
and thus shoot himself into space.
Finally after numerous other organ
isms are shown, the scientist boils
the water, filters it and shows it
finally clear and paiata3le, health
giving and free from d!sease-pro-
ducing bacteria. This film is not
olly interesting, but exceedingly in
structive, and is released at the be-
ginning OF the summer season, when
great danger of typhoid turks in
every glassful of water taken I'M
boiled. Help yourself by helping
others.
