A LEADING real estate agent in this cit!

A LEADING real estate agent in this city
informs US that while there there is de-
cided demand for houses by both renters
and buyers, there is nevertheless no boom
in the price OF real estate. Eligible bust
ness property is firm and readily saiable'
but residence property while in good re-
quest shows no advancing tendency. There
Is considerable Of it on the market for sale,
and offerings generally have to be sold at
\ concession on the asking prices. This is
not for the lack Of money, for money in
Wheeling has not been Us plenty for years,
but there is for some reason considerable
pressure to sell, arising in part out OF the
necessities Of some parties and out OF the
desire Of others to change into more pro-
ductiye investments.
Whether those who are thus offering
property for sale at concessions are not
making mistake remains OF course to be
seen. For ourselves, we can see no reason
in the business situation to warrant any
pressure to sell real estate in Wheeling.
The manufactures OF the city are not only
in healthy but prosperous condition
The stocks Of the mills are in good demand
at advancing figures, Wages OF employees
arc good. Everybody is employed who
cares to work. There has been no imitation
Of real estate values, and hence no water to
be squeezed out.
There should, therefore, be nothing in
the shape OF depression in our real estate
market at time like this, Unless all signs
fail we shall have u good winters business
IA business that will not only into but
extend through the coming year. There is
moreover, constant gradual increase IN
our population. We sec no check in the
immediate future to this increase. The
country around us is prosperous. 1t ha
been exceptionally fortunate In its crop
thisyear. While the tidal wave Of foreigT
immigration does not irrigato us to any very
decided extent, yet we get limited quot'
Of It, and we shall presently get more OF it
The business enterprises Of tho town arr
increasing gradually, and there is not nov
q ELAINE duck" among them. We hear o
no exception in any department to tn
general prosperity. Thercforeitlsunnatura
that there should be pressure to sell rea
e,tate, and tits not ut all improbable that
those who buy such offerings as arc thu
made will find their profit in tho neal
future.

sUcn advertisements as the following
taken from Chicago paper are getting
to be quite common in newspapers:

Such an advertisement carries its own
comment with It. II proceeds on the as
sumption that there are some, il notmany,
households, where by tho application Of
wise economics" hundreds Of dollars
are to be saved. 1t suggests, also, that
good housewifery Is an art to be studied
and learned, and that II Is an art in which
intelligence plays n very important part,
and that II therefore makes a great and es-
sential difference to the young man about
to marry whether the proposed partner Of

To Our Guests.

en- behalf of the citizens of lola THE
REGISTER tenders to the excursionis
from our sister city, Fl. Scott, and
those from neighboring towns, a
hearty and unaffected welcome. 1t is
an occasion of rejoicing on the part OF
our people, and we are proud and hap
by to tender you the freedom of the
city. You will be made welcO me to
our homes; and every effort will be
made to make the short visit you
make us pleasant one.
Our city is not large and eqr accom-
modations perhaps somewhat limited
but every one will be made as comfort
able as possible. You are invited to
look over our city and all places of in
terest. And in a simple, unaffected
manner, without pretense of style you
will be cared for to the best Of our abil-
ity. You are indeed welcome, and
when the newly formed acquaintance
part tonight, we sincerely hope and
believe that all will feel amply repaid
for the time taken.

The railroad issue-the question
whether the people shall control the
great corporations or the great corpora
lions the peoples assuming ap in
creasing Importance. We have al
ready noted the fact that it is involved
in and adds bitterness and .conaplica-
ton to the present senatorial struggle
in Albany. 1t was attempted to choke
off withOutdiscussion the proposition
to constitute railroad commission in
this State, by referring it in the first
instance to a committee whose Chair
man was Mr.. Wagner, of railroad
fame. His report, it is needless to
say, when finally the squirting of the
press compelled report, was adverse
to the appointment Of such commits
sion. The Senate has overriddep the
committee, and by majority of six
teen to ten has taken the bill out of
its hands and referred it to the COM
mittee of the whole. It is a significant
fact that on this vote Senator Robert
son voted with the minority and
against a railroad commission. The
bill has passed the ASSEMBLY, but we
are not sanguine that anything will
be done respecting it effectively at
this session in the Senate. Christian

Some SIGNIFICANT Facts.

There are now invested in railroad
property in this country upwards of
four and a half billions of dollars.
Their. net earnings for 1879 were up
wards of two hundred millions.
This immense property is cOncen-
trated in the hands of few men. The
presidents of four railroads-the Bal
timore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the
Central and Erie-to-day control the
price Of breadstpffs on the Atlantic
Coast.
It is rapidly increasing. The funded
debt and stock interest haVe increased
in three years oyer seven hundred
millions of dollars the mileage nearly
twenty per cent.
It is exercising an increasing politi-
cal control. The Central exercises an
almost irresistible influence in the
New York Legislature; the Penn
sylvania a controlling influence in the
Pennsylvania Legislature; the Cen
trail Pacific despOtic control over leg
islation on the Pacific Coast.
1t has powerful if not a dominant
representation in the United States
Senate. Nearly every Senator added
during the past three years is interest
ed in railroad enterprises; and the
railroad interest is straining every
nerve to increase this railroad repre-
sentation.
It controls three leading newspapers
in the metropolis, one in the capital,
and many other parts of the country.
The telegraphs of the country are
concentrated in a single hand, and
that the hand:Of a railroad presidk Mt.
These facts are worthy of thoughtful
consideration.

If Gitteau was q stalwart it was
only after the disappointment of his
quest for office that he became such !;
for he had claimed but a short time be-
fore to belong to the other faction.
But the utterances of vile and des-
perate wretch like this are unworthy
serious consideration as impeaching
any but known scoundrels. To digni-
fy them by the notice which influen-
tial newspapers have accorded them,
and to interpret them to the discredit
of men who, whatever may be their
faults and follies, are among the fore
most in the land, is at once an affront
to the intelligence of the country and
an assault upon the national fame.

DIR. Frank B. Hamilton, the emf
nent surgeon Of New York, says that,
while the President is not a we'll man
by any means, the present symptoms
are not :alsrpfihg to p surgeon, and
that nature may be expected to do all
that remains to be done. DR.. Bliss
says that by the end of the week the
President will be out of danger. DIR.
F. ID. Weiss has demonstrated that a
ball such as the one fired by Guiteau
could enter the body between the tenth
and eleventh ribs, four inches from the
spinal column, and yet produce no
fatal injury. DIR. CarnachAn, of
New York, another prominent surgeon
believes the patient has passed the
critical periods, and is.noN, out of
danger. DIR. Reyburn said that an eff
fort to remove the ball would not be
made until Incorporation could be per-
formed without danger. He expected
to be able to say that at the end of the
week the President would he absolute
~ out of danger. :,

Cheap Books.

The publishers of the Topeka Com
nsonWedlM are giving that paper one
year and ten books for $2.25. The books
alone, at retail, bound in paper would
cost about $500, and in cloth about
$500. BY an arrangement with the
publishers of the Commonwealth, we
are enabled to offer THE REGISTER
for one year, the Weekly Common
,oealth, and the ten books all for only
1915. The books are complete, and
the LIST is as follows: Life and Adven-
lures Of Robinson 4 Grusos The Mrs , Pill
The Arabian Nights Entertainments;

Two liquor dealers in Topeka have
been convicted and sentenced under
The ''nuisaneel clause of the prOhibito-
~ act. One of these was BOutel, who
was twice acquitted under other
clauses of the act /; and another was
Bauer of North Topeka, who also escap-
ed penalties provided for selling liquors.
This experience would indicate that it
it is easier to secure Q conviction for
maintaining nuisance, under the So
called nuisance" clause, than it is to
bring violators of the law to punish
nent under the other sections of it.

An informal meeting Of our citizens
was held in the county clerk office in
this city last Friday. The object Of
the meeting was for the purpose Of Sc
lecting a committee to visit Fl. Scott
and hold conference with the officials
of the Fl. Scott & Wichita railroad
company; A. P. Cogswell, E.. Tucker,
J. J, Durkee and I. P. Nye, were ehO-
sen as the committee. The object of
their visit is to learn what they can
regarding the standing and ability Of
this company to build a road, and to
ascertain what they will expect of this
county in case they should build their
road through here. The committee
will meet the officials of the road at
lola next Tuesday, when, no doubt
satisfactory arrangements will be made
for the submission of a proposition to
vote aid in this township. We are sat
isfied this road is going to be built,
and our people cannot afford to lose an
opportunity to secure it.-Eureka Re-
