No ukttkr evidence is needed of
t'?e greatness and progressiveness of
Harrison county than the fact that it
has banks in several of its cities and
towns. Ail which are in operation
arc doing a splendid business and the
several in contemplation have excel
lent prospects. This situation is an
evidence that plenty of money and
^business abounds in this county. It Is
^further evidence that the bnsiness
Inen of the county appreciate despatch
fcid convenience in business and are
ndeavoring to do away with fogy
Ijethods. A bank is a good thing for
ky.CQmmunity and the Telegram is
glad to witness the building up of
suqh Institutions in the various eigh
borboods in the county. The people
Should not forget that the policies of
the Republican party have brought
the opportunity to put into execution
this? spirit of progress! veness.
A .m iltjIon dollar corporation for
Clarksburg ccrtainly speaks well. The
clay is at hand when big things are all
the go and that this gigantic concern
will be a decided success no one has a
shade of a doubt. They are business
men in it who never fail 111 their un
dertakings. Moreover, the object of
the Claritsburg ttuiiding and Lean
Association is of such a patriotic na
'ture that the concern cannot do other
- wise than flourish and grow powerfu
in its benelicial effects.
Tim latest information is that the
Jackson Iron and Tin Plate mills will
resume operations next Monday. The
Mills will be started in part and per
haps in full on that day, and the many
good men who have had no work to do
for several weeks will again be earn
ing a livelihood and assisting in build
ing up a great*.1! Clarksburg. Every
one will rejoice when the mills resume
operations.

"A Turkish Texan"
"A Turkish Texan," the latest and
most successful comedy from tbe pen
uf that famous comedian, Willie Col
lier, will be presented at tbe Grand on
Thursday, Dec. 12, and no doubt our
theatregoers will turn out en masse to
greet this latest effort of the favorite
comedians. The company presenting
the play Is one worthy of note, con
taining as it does the names of some
of the best people on the stage, all of
whom arc well known for their clever
<ind finished work In tbe support of
various stars In tbe past. The com
pany Is headed by George Parsons, the
brilliant young comedian, and he is
supported by Isabelle Urquhart, Myr
tle May, May Sherwood, Georgic Drew
Menduui, Belle Itobinson, Morgan
Ooman, Charles Arthur, II. G, Hockey
and Harry Jones,
"Gypsy Jack," Jan. 23
Despite llie apparent sway ot farce
comedy and ''show girl" performances,
the old-fashioned (melodrama still
claims its devoted adherents. That
this Is so. without a doubt, is practi
cally proven by the unstinted success
which has greeted Willis Granger dur
ing Ills present tour with "Gypsy
Jack." Not only Is Manager Edward
(J. White highly pleased with the re
ception which has greeted bis new
star, but the letter has, by Ills- intrin
sic worth a& a melo-dramatic actor,
proven his fitness for the role of the
gypsy boy, which is the leading char
acter in the production. ?
Over live thousand dollars have
been Invested by managers Johnson
and Green, for scenery and properties,
for the production of "A Devil's
Lane," at the Grand, Wednesday,
December 10. Manager Farland only
furnishes the drop curtin for the
stage. All else is carried by the com
pany. No the?.trlcal company on the
road Is better equipped for a first
class performance than this excellent
company.
Miss Kathcrlne Wlllard is adding
new laurels to her reputation by her
rendition of ,:Aria" In the emotlanal
drama, "The Power BehlDd the
Throne." Miss Wlllard has proved
her ability and exceptional talents in
the production, so much' so that her
tour is one continuous ovation. Noth
ing Is lacking In sconlc etTect, stage
mechanism or costuming to keep
| "The Power Behind the Throne" up
to the topmost standard, while the
star's support "i>lay up to her" with
admirable skill.

cume home
late ond night after "feeing detained In |
the city' on business. He was some
what astonished to And the front door
standing i/lnr. and, passing through the
hall to tlfc dining room, what wu bis
find everything turned topsy
the butler bound and gag
'easing him. MacAlister darted I
and, discovering no evidence
of the family having been disturbed. I
he went below ago.'u and listened to the I
butlers account of the robbery. The
man bad been forced at the point of a
revolver to open the silver safe, and Its |
contents had been rilled.
"Who's dog is that moaning In the I
yard?" asked MacAlister. and without
waiting for an answer ho went out Into 1
the grounds. There n{ a aide gate was
a dog scratching to get out. It at once
occurred to MacAlister that the beast
had come with the burglars and lu I
their haste to deport they had shut off
his exit. Perhaps If be wero permitted
to go bo would follow them. At any
rate, the experiment was worth trying.
MacAlister went to the stable and got
out a saddle horse, armed himself with |
a revolver and then released the dog,
which ran off toward the city.
MacAllstcr mounted and followed. I
The dog soon settled Into a steady trot |
down a Btreet that eventually led lilm I
to the north end of Lincoln park. Get- I
ting through the park appeared more I
puzzling to Mm than following a
straight street, but at the south end he I
struck an avenue and after that seemed I
to know his route perfectly. Coming to |
the street running next parallel with
the river, be turned to the right and I
after traversing a few blocks struck a I
region given over almost exclusively to I
manufacturing.
Meanwhile MacAlister had picked up
a mounted policeman in the extreme I
portUern part of the city, to whom as I
they rode along he explained what he
was about Tho. cop was rather skep- |
tlcul as to the outcome of the adven
ture till the dog entered a tenement |
house which had for some time been
held In suspicion. Throwing themselves
off their horses as quickly as It could
bo done, they followed the dog Into the
building, but they were too late. Their
guide had disappeared. Mounting a
rickety staircase with ob noiseless a I
tread as possible, they searched every
landing. On coming to the top story
and seeing nothing of their guide they I
concluded that they had had their
pains for nothing and wero about to
give up the chnse when they heard the
sounds of a dog barking as if in grent
delight It occurred to MacAlister that
the dog had found Its friends and wai
rejoicing at the meeting.
"tnflhut room," he said. "X shall find
my silver."
,!Stop here." said the cop. "while I go
for help."
"Help? What help do you want?
Aren't we two armed men? While you
are away they might take It Into their
heads to move on."
MacAllstcr knocked. There was
shullling about Inside, and after much
delay the door was opened. Facing
three revolvers stood a mite of a girl.
Within was a woman with a baby in
her arms. The dog the men had fol
lowed' stood In the middle of the floor
looking at them.
The Story told by the woman was.
that she had been up with her baby,
who waB 111, and on bearing the knock
had delayed in order to huddle on some
clothes. As to the dog, he was a part of
the family. When told of his having
doubtless been In the company of bur
glars, all the Information she could
give on this subject wis that he had
been off occasionally with a man' who
had recently rented a room on the op
posite side of {he hall.
Turning their attention to the door
opposite, they knocked, but, receiving
no response, broke It open. Striking a
match, tbey made a search, but found
nothing and concluded that the plunder
bad not yet been brought In. The lock
to the door had been only Injured and
that not so badly but tbey could closc It
as before. Having done so, tbey ?ook
position In the room of the woman op
poslte and waited.
Just before dawn there was a step In -
tbe hall below, and some one came
stealthily up tbe staircase, paused at
the door opposite, took out a 1tey, un
locked the door and entered. MacAlis
ter was about to move against him
when tho cop stopped him.
"Perhaps there are more below wait
ing tb see If the coast is clear."
They waited awhile, but no one else
came. MacAlister made another move,
but was again held back.
"He may not have the swag with
him, and we'd have a poor case against
bim. Let the dog go." ,
Opening the door, they put the dog In
tbe hall, and he was soon scratching at
the door opposite. On being admitted
the words could be plainly beard:
"Hello, ZlpI I thought you'd, been
left behind."
"That's enough," said the cop. and
they proceeded to make thg arrest,
which was effected without resistance.
The silver was not in the room, and
without ths evidence of the dog there
would liui been little chance of a con
rlctlon. They, however, mode the case
so strong that the man confessed under
promise of a light sentence and
stored the plunder.
MacAlister paid the owners of the
dog bsndsomely for him and put them
on tho list of those whom be befriend
ed. Zip Is now tbe guardian of the
house he was once Implicated In rob
bing and at the slightest sound In ths
yard baiks fiercely.
