parts with prismatic colors. A nura-i

cardboards are so shifted that the col- j

MANY CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
OF CUT HEALTH COMMISSIONER
THE ASPIRANTS FOR POSITIONS
UNDER CITY MANAGER
ARE ACTIVE.
Police Force Slate Proposed by Chief
elect Silts is Somewhat Up
in the Air. '
Candidates for the various positions
in i hi* gift of the city manager are
brooming very active. Probably as
much interest is being taken in the
appointment of :t city health officer,
as any other, and for this a large num
ber of aspirants art; in tho field.
Dr. W. < Hi/.lcr. the present cMy
health officer. beli?v??s that his exper
ience abundantly qualifies him for the
position, and has therefore filed his
application for re-appointment.
Dr. Charles M. Keesor, nf the South
Side, is also an applicant, and has
secured the endorsement of a large
number of the local medical fraternity.
Dr. Keesor is one of the younger
physicians of the city, but has a very
excellent record, and is regarded as
<>ne of the coming men in the profes
sion. ?
Dr. E. B. Plant., who has been active
in Democratic politics for many years, I
and who engineered the Democratic I
end of the so-called good governmeni j
movement in conjunction with his i
great and good friend, Hon. George j
Ashton I.aughlin. is also a candidate. ,
Dr. Plant's ambitious, however, suf
fered a severe crimp when Council
man Kress of the Fourth ward, sup
posed to be his special protege, went j
into the camp of the "Inner-five" with- j
out first getting an .iron bound con-i
tract, to have Plant taken care of. It. 1
is no secret that Dr. Plant made some j
very earnest and costly efforts in be-j
half of Mr. Kress" election, and the
doctor is now wondering exactly I
where and how he is to be recom-j
pensed. An interesting story may be j
told of about the election before final |
disposition is made of Dr. Plant and j
his ambitions.
Dr. Andrew Wilson, who was slated
by some members of the "inner-five"
for this office, is also a candidate, and
at one time it looked like Dr. Wilson j
had the place cinched, hut the under- >
standing that has been reached,)
namely, that City Manager Nagle Is j
under no obligations and has no prom-!
ises and cannot he called upon to j
make good the contracts of any of the:
"inner-five." rather leaves Dr. Wilson!
up in the air. I
Dr. S. 1>. S. Spragg, of North Wheel- 1
ing, is another applicant, and has been j
conducting an active campaign.
It. is needless to say that none of
the candidates so far have any assur
ance as to the likelihood of tiieiiv ap
pointment.
There is wailing and smashing of
teeth among a certain lot of gentle
men who expected to be on the police
force, as a result of Mr. James -Sills, j
the eminent reformer, being chosen in.
the head of the police department. I
Mr. Sills, it is understood, had made J
a rather complete selection of Ihe otli-j
cials under the- supposition that he'
was tn name the entire police force. J
Mr. Thomas Kelly, a present member j
of the police force, was the Sills'
choice for ope nf the lieutenant posi-l
tions, and Joseph Schlick. a former j
Democratic policeman, of the Fourth
ward, was to have had another o>e. (
Sills had gone to the extent of pre-'
paring a rather complete slate, and in- j
cautiously made it public. At ihci
present time, the Sills selections arc'
very much up in ihe air. It is no,
secret that ihe Sills selection for chief
of police has been a most unpopular!
one, and at least one of the prospec
tive candidates for city manager let i
it be understood that he would not j
accept the city managership wish Sills .
a's police chi"f.
It is the general belief that I'iiy;
Manager Naelo will so slow in making,
Your dentrifice should
do more than just polish
your teeth. It should
penetrate the crevices
between the teeth and
gums, where your tooth
brush cannot reach.

'The most important I
item in clean teeth is a j
good toothbrush. We j
have a first quality i
brush, guaranteed 110 1 !
to shed its bristles for j
35^. !
Other brushes, 10c up. |j
chancres in any of the city offices, but
undoubtedly some change* will be
made. Probably the reorganization
of the police force will be one of the
first things he lakes up, as most of
the complaint against the present
city government has centered about
the administration of the policc de
partment.
Col. Thnmas Levland has definitely
decided that he will retire to private
life upon the' laurels which he has
gained in the high office. While about
t.he police headquarters and among
members of the force generally, the
feeling is- that it is not now worth
while to cry over spilt milk. The
agreement, is very general that quite
a mistake was made on the part of
the police officers and their fri-ends
in the fight which they made to save
Ley land when impeachment charges
were being considered.
Burley Thompson, one of Ihe oldest
members of the fire department, and
a brother of Chester Thompson, coun
cilman from the Second ward, is an
active candidate for chief of the fire
'department, as is also James P. Alt
meyer. former fire chief. t Fire Chief
Rose is also an applicant' to succeed
himself.
RENEW SCHOOL SITE
LITIGATION TODAY
Hearing is on Writ to Compel Presi
dent Baird to Sign Clark Order.
.Judge H. C. Kervey today will con
duct the hearing on the alternate writ
of mandamus against. Samuel M.
Baird. president of the Trladelphia
district board of education. The
alternative writ requires Mr. Baird
either to sign an order for $21,000 in
payment for the Clarke site for a high
school or to show cause why he should
not do so, as directed by Max Hess
and .T. H. Beans, the o:uer members
of the board.
Mr. Baird. who favors the location
of the high school at Elm drove, has
tiled a list of objections to signing the
order. He will be represented in his
tight to have the writ dismissed by
Judge Frank W. Nesbltt: and Attorney
Joseph Handlan. The board of educa
tion and the Clarke heirs will be rep
resented by Attorneys J. B. Handlah,
IX A. McKee and J. C. Palmer.
REGISTERED IN TIME;
CARD IS DAYS LATE
Registration of Jas. Dolan at Alliance
on June 2. Came Yesterday.
Although James Dolan, of No. 100
Main street, registered at Alliance. 0..
on Saturday. June 2. three days before
registration day, his card did not
reach Wheeling until yesterday. This
may have been due to "the fact that the
name of the state was omitted from
from the address on ih?* envelope,
which was directed simply to Sheriff
Howard Ha.-tlncs, Wheeling.
The I'-tter enclosing the card was
dated June I and the postmark shows
that the letter did not leave Alliance
until June 11. Sheriff Hastings re
ceived it yesterday.
Dolan had been registered by <ome
official who signed "John <!. Miller."
but did not affix his official title. City
Auditor Charles H. Alliens was di
rected to accept the n-cistration card
and forward Dolan a certificate of
registration.
