A RECENTLY pub'ished staten ent to the
effect that the tract of $4,000 aoIeI of
land which the general land Office with
held from the Southern Pacific railroSd
company just as the company was
preparing to take possession of Ii, il alb
solutely worthless, Is disproved by the
fact that the London Telegraph not long
ago bought $50,0 acres in the vicinity
of this tract for the sake Of the pulp con-
tained In the cactus that grows there.
The pulp procured upon this land Ia
shipped aoross the Atlantic and Is used In
the manufacture of the paper upon
which the London Telegraph Is printed.
The cactus plant grows all over the land
which the land commissioner withheld
from the grasp of the Southern
Pacific, and If the cactus is go
valuable to London newspaper
II certainly ought 10 be equally valuable
to the great American newspapers and
paper manufacturers. Although the land
may be of no ure at present to settlers,
yet 1t Is far from being worthless, Com.

WE have to go away from homo aome-

covered that a shortage has been found

This is not only a surprising piece of
news but 1t is u very serious charge to
make sgainst Mr.. Ru,h. We believe
the Journals charge to be without
foundation, and 1t no doubt will hear
from Mr.. Rush on this matter. He will
very likely demand the proofs, or an
ample retractlon. So far as we know,

The State Fair.

A hurried ramble through the
State Fair on Wheeling Island, on
Friday last, was an agreeable sur
prise to the FREEMAN reporter. In
cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and all
kinds of blooded stock the exhibits
were the largest and finest he had
ever seen in the State. The poul-
try show was immense, from the
Sc pound gobler, down to the wee
canary. The machinery depart
ments were full, while the Wheel
ing merchants, fruiterers and flor.
lists had the Main Building packed
with their splendid wares and fra
grant with fruits and flowers.
The absence of all gambling
traps and schemes, and the vast
improvement in the order of the
crowds over last year, was a source
of graduation to all decent people.
The beer-selling was confined to
one spot, and hid away under the
stand, at the further end of the
track from the halls and masses of
people. This was great and COM
mendable advance over last year.
Now, let the managers go one good
step further, and keep the beer kegs
off the Island entirely, and the
Fair will fully deserve the future
success the enterprise ought to
haUa

Always when the G. w. & B. has

prettiest and finest Christmas card

&C., peeping out at you from the
folds of the fan. We have this
framed as one of our household
treasures.
But we set out to notice the Com
pany's latest compliments in the

row.

CAPITAL DINING ROOMS.
M. Thornton Feeding the Fair.

There's no use quibbling about
it; Thornton is the leading "feed-
er" in Wheeling, and he never goes
out on a strike" either, as some
"feeders" do.
During the Fair last week, ev-
erybody seemed determined to eat
at the Capital Dining Rooms, and
it was almost as good as big din
ner to see the dining hall crowded
with hungry people, and watch M.
Thornton flying about as reception
com mittee, host, cashier, waiter
and chambermaid, all at once. The
hungry sight-seers were sometimes
a little i'm patient at first, but when
they got their square meal they all
went away as permanent patrons
of the Capital Dining Rooms.
Thornton is one of the fixed insti-
tutions of Wheeling.

As, hma at the Fair.

In the writer's brief ramblings
through the State Fair Grounds on
Wheeling Island, last Friday, what
was his surprise to run across a
stand in the main building presid-
ed over by our own Rev. P. A.
Woods, of Richie county, who was
as busy rs whole hive of bees,
talking L. A. Knights Asthma
remedies to the afflicted, distribu-
ting pamphlets and taking names
and addresses of asthmatics It is
really astonishing how many peo-
pie suffer from this dread disease,
ard the reporters establishment
passed all former bounds when Mr..
Woods remarked that in two days
at this stand, as the visitors tarried
and talked, he had taken the names
and addresses of nearly 400 persons
who were suffering from Asthma
and anxious for anything that
promised relief. Surely Mr.. Woods
was the right man in the right
place on this occasion, as he could
speak whereof he knew by both Bit
ter and happy experience bitter
in that 6 months ago he was a suf-
fering victim of chronic asthma,
happy in that he was entirely re-
lieved by the remedies he is now
offering to his fellows. A greater
surprise, even, than finding Bro.
Woods at the Fair, was the fact of
his passing through tho chilly,
rainy weather that prevailed, ex-
posed as he was, without the least
symptom of returning asthma,
when such exposure year ago
would have cost him certain pros
tration and intense suffering.
Having proved what he offers to
his fellow sufferers, he is naturally
and commercially full of faith and
enthusiasm in urging the afflicted
to try Knights Asthma remedies.
