THE big" EDITION.
GEE eREAY NAEuRAl eAs Issue
OF the IntsllIgOpcsr Meets with Hearty
Reception by the Public, and the I'm.
menss Edition is Exhausted before
the Presses are done Printing.

When It was decided to issue sixteen
page special edition of the ISFKLLIaEScER
giving to the world at large some idea Of
the importance OF Wheeling as an indus
trial centre, and Of her advantages, in
Guiding thoss Of the possession Of an in
exhaustible supply Of natural gas at cheap
rates, 1t was with some misgivings as to
the success Of an enterprise that aimed so
high, and the number OF copies was fixed
at ten thousand in addition to the regular
daily issue without full confidence that
the reception Of the paper by the public
would Justify an edition Of that size.
Business men who were approached on
the subject when the plan was under con-
sideration differed in their views, Some
said the public would wish the paper
"God speed" and leave the edition on
its hands, Others approved Of the "boom
edition" enthusiastically, and 30 encour-
aging was the reception OF the plan in
general when outlined to prominent Citi-
Gems that the misgIving5 gradually dis
appeared,
Before the last forms Of the mammoth
edition hadgoneupon the press, everyCopy
that 1t had been arranged to print was or
dered, and the demand was not nearly
satisfied. AS q portion oil the type had
been used and distributed q change Of
plan was out OF the question. Accord
ingly the only recourse left was to scale
down the orders. To this those who
wanted the papers consented with reluc-
lance, but most OF them pCCommOdatingly
accepted a smaller number than they
wanted, In order that the general public
might be supplied TO some extent,
All the expressions heard yesterday
were favorable to the paper, Among the
Commonest remarks were;
Otis the first really great effort made by
q Wheeling newspaper, and was an entire
success"
at 10 Crolitablo in every sense Of the
word"
"The Chamber OF Commerce or the In
TELLIdENCER ought to put the matter con-
tanned in those sheets in permanent
form"
"Why don't you make book Of it? I
want 1t to keep"
ut reflects credit alike on Wheeling and
Wheeling's leading newspaper.
Manufacturers, firms and individuals
boughE the paper by the hundreds OF
copies to send away, and the only persons
in town who had reason to regret the sue.
Cess Of the edition were the clerks at the
postollice, whose labors were trebled yea
terdRy. More than half Of the issue was
sent or will be sent abroad. to the organ
izatiuns, individuals aud papers in Whose
hands they will do the most good. 1t

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE,
The Plans Of the Congregational Campaign
tabe Manned out,

The Plana OF the Congressional Campaign
tobe Mapped out.
1t 10 understood that the new Demo-
cratic Congressional Executive Committee
for this district, appointed at the conven'
ton held at olarksburR last week, has
been called to meet in this city during the
early part Of next week for the purpose Of
organizing and mapping out the work Of
the coming campaign. With almost any
one as q standard bearer but the
nominee, Judge John Brannon, this
work would not be such thankless task
as the committee will find It, With de-
teated candidate, and one defeated In q
Presidential year, too, Tenomtnated for
defeat, which the harmonious Republican
convention held at Weston yesterday
made sure and certain by the unanimous
nomination Of the gallant Gotf, who
so handsomely downed the guileless
Judge two years ago, the task cut out for
the Democratic Executive Committee Is
not an easy one. 1t will find the labor
Encouraging and very, very tiresome,
The new Committee ia made up as fol-
lows; Felix ], Baxter, Braxton countyi
Henry ZIlllchen, Brooke county; s, B,
McMlllen, Doddridge county, s. A. Hays,
Gllmer county; Benjamin Griffith, Ham
cock county; Aug, Peck, Harrison county;
W, g, Bennett, Lewis county; o, Il, Old
ham, Marshall county; +. p. Jepson,
OHIO county; G, D, Smith, Tyler county;
John l. MCEldowney, Wetzsl county,
1t 10 further understood that the Judge
thinks he will stand better show for sue.
Cess this time, II he Ia allowed 10 have his
own way in the organization and control
OF the committee, The committee argue
that 1t would bs well enough to let theold
gentleman have his way In this matter, as
Ia the end itwould lessen the sting and BIT
ternesa Of his defeat andthen he will notbe
able after November to say, III had been
allowed TO do this or that ! should have
been elected He proposes, 30 1t ia said,
TO have the committees headquarters in
this city, and his chairman he
wants to come from somewhere near
here so that he can spend q
goodly portion OF his time here watching
events. The Judge proposes to make a
particularly strong fight in this county
and Pan Handle, believing that his ioa-
sillzsd style will win him many Republi-
can votes. Whether he will enlist Mr.,
Jepson and his inherent bouyancy" as
chairman remains TO bs seen. Mr.. Jepson
might not he able to do much In the posi-
tion, but his !. b. would probably "knock
some OF 'em silly."

1t Is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the sup
preston OF oil gift, prizs and lottery
schemes in connection with the sale Of
articles OF merchandise. These schemes
are not only demoralizing to Legitimate
business and To the morals Of the COM
munity, but in the extent in which they
are being carried in the sale Of articles Of
food have become q source Of great dan.
ger to the public health. They are, no
matter in what form they appear, nothing
more or less than devices to swindle hon.
est and unsuspecting people.
II Is gratifying to learn that In some in
stances the officers OF the law have taken
hold Of the matter. In New York, and
also In Chicago, parties who in this way
offered gifts TO purchasers OF their pack
ages have recently been arrested upon In.
dlCtments Tor lottery swindllng. The lat
est candidates, both for public exeCration
and criminal prosecution, arc the manu-
facturers OF the alum baking powders,
who are both by means Of gifts aud lottery
tickets, disposing Of large quantities Of
their Corrosvely poisonous compounds,
which are 30 well known to BIO detrimen-
tai to health that no housekceper will adj.
init them to her kitchen, knowingly. This
form OF swindle Ia not only being
peddlcd from house to house, but
under the promise Of large profits
to be realizsd the manufacturers are en-.
trenChing thpmselvea behind the counters
oil many groCers by getting them TO offer
the alum goods with the gifts or lottery
ticketS attached, thereby shifting tho la.
bllity 10 prosecution, In part, upon other
and, perhaps, innocent parties. Every
grocer or dealer, for instance, who sells or
offers for sale any Of the prize or lottery
baking powders iB q criminal In the eye Of
the law, and liable, upon conviction, TO
fine and imprisonment, while those who
sell the gift goods are, morally, az respon.

that contains 0 corrosive poison. This 10

TILE HARVEST MOON.
Beautiful Nights which ForCIbly Recall m
Old Belief,

For week or so past the nights have
been simply divine. The cool and pleas
ant air and the brilliant and beautiful
moon in an almost cloudIess aky COM
bined to tempt tho people outdoors, es.
peCially the young people. This Is the
"harvest moon" In olden times the
simple rural people Of England enter
tanned o superstition that Providence or.
dainsd that the moon should rise early
and set late and shine unusually clear
that they might continue into the dewy
night their labors In the harvest field.
Hence the name.
The moon has been rising at nearly the
same hour for the last few nights, the in.
tervals during the present period ranging
from twelve minutes to half an hour,
against an ordinary difference Of about
forty minutes. The path traverscd by
the moon In It's journey around the earth,
which II completes every tweuty.nine
days, forms an angle with the path ira.
versed by the earth around the Gun, COM
pleted every year. and also with the
earth's horizon. II luminous line were
drawn across the armament representing
the earth's orbit and another representing
the esrth's horizon, II would be found
that the two form smaller angle at one
time in the year than they do at the
other, six months sooner or six months
later, as the case may be. The earth
and moon are near the former or smaller
anglo in September each year, and near
the latter angle in March, which accounts
for the phenomenon Of harvest moon.
