Yesterday was one Of the worst days
IN the history Of Wheeling. and many.
while aware OF the fact. failed to no
tice certain things. Most people have
been to the Greenwood and Mt. Calvary
cemeteries. Well. these places did not
have much on the city last evening.

ent. the health authorities added more
title to the subject BY closing up all
the stores. while II rained. also. There
are many places that the city might
have resernbled. but II is the opinion
that the Sahara Desert would make a
neat compartson-both are deprived OF
the inability to quench their thirst.
However. II Is getting time TO look
70 the bright side OF life. and II is
thought that before the very next week
everything will have been cleared up
to such g tone that the people them
selves will be as:"nished. Reports from
other parts OF tho country indicate that
IS being lifted gradually andzin some
places already the authorities have
found no harm in permitting tho thea
tres and churches to reopen. II is TO
be hoped that this sentiment swaps
this section ard before the next week
comes around the natural color OF things
realized. Several events that bear
prominence are slated for this city dur
ing the weekend. and should the peo-
pls be prevented from enjoying these
bits Of recreation II will put all In q

honest-to-soodness interest will DO a
thing of the past. Much interest Is
being entertained over the staging Of
the college game between Washington
& jefferson and Bethany colleges at tho
local Fair Grounds Saturday. and should
the quarantine be- expedited by that
time the biggest crowd 10 attend con-
test in several years would doubtless
attend. Theatres are beginning TO feel
the sting much. and 1t Is very
discouraging to. And that the ban Is
still on. for many will be affected 80
much that II will take the rest OF tho
season to put them back on an equal
standing.
TIE Paulls arc ready TO play and Sun"
day. and while stopped from meeting
tho North Ends last week. are ready TO
battle these boys the first open date
on the schedule. Both clubs have made
extensive preparations and when the
game Is announced G. great outpourlng
OF fans will be in readiness TO see the
pair OF rivals on edge for a victory
that means much to either.
Manager JacoubccL. Of the Henry
club. stated that his team IS in the
best OF condition to meet any opponent
less Of weight or standing. Each and
every man on the team Is known to fan
dom and their ability to make good Is
unquest!oncd. Despite their defeat at
the hands OF Bethany. the Hcnrys arc
practiclng each Tuesday and Friday
evenings in order to DO prepared for
any future hard battles. Coach Con-
nors requests all mon present tonight
for O workout. Glad news comes into
the Henry camp over the announcement
that Lattimcr. the famous high school
player II Martins Ferry will be In tho
lineup after this week. Latt!mar Is not
unknown in this section and most all
remember him for the spectacular work
accomplished while member of the
champion Ferry high school last season.
