The memory of our comrades dear
Well ever hold and ere revere
Till we shall in the graves be laid
And the great debt of nature paid.
'Tis firmly round our hearts sntwined
And in our bosoms deep enshrined.

When days and years have passed along
And coming ages tribute make
To those who died for Freedoms sake.

THE WEEK JUST CLOSED
Has Witnessed the Most Successful ExpOsi-
ton and State Fair
EVER HELD IN WHEELING.
We Append Herewith Sketches Of the
Principal
EXHIBITORS AND SUCCESSFUL COMPETITORS.

The Greatest Exhibit OF Coffee Ever known
Was that of the famous Panhandle Coffee,
the speciality of Messrs. Simon Baer's Sons,
the leading wholesale groeerS and coffee
r~oasterS of this city. 1t occupied the large
middle space in the east wing of the Main
building and was in the form of a large
square temple, 224 feet in height and Z feet
SQUARE. This was composed almost exclu-
Siyely of packages of Panhandle Coffee,
with row of Moss Rose packages used for
framing the entrances and cornices, the
ornaments being sacks of Briggs Patent
Flour, making u very handsome and at
~tractive structure. Leading up to the
main entrance of the temple was n broad
pathway made of roasted coffee, while on
either side of this pathway were repreSen-
tations OF lawns composed of green coffee.
Some idea of the magnitude of this exhibit
NAV be had when we say that 5000 pack
ages of Panhandle Coffee were
used in the building of the tower
alone, while ) bags Of green
and three bags of roasted coffee were used
in making the pathway and bordering
lawns. and that six days were occupied in
its construction. The effect upon visitors
n that entrance was very marked, the
people pausing with an exclamation of
pleased surprise at the first sight OF the
structure, and thousands returning to view
at their leisure the remarkable exhibition.
In Agricultural Hall the Messrs. Baers
had fitted up a booth with the necessary
fixtures for dispensing Panhandle coffee
to the thousands OF visitors, with sugar
and cream, and hot biscuits made on the
spot, from the famous Briggs Patent
Flour, another of their ~Specialties. If one
may Judge from the expressions of those
who partOOk of the coffee and biscuits the
popularity of Pan-Handle cOtfeeand Briggs
Patent Flour is well deserved, for ladies
aud gentlemen alike declared that the cOt-
fee was the best they had ever drank, and
the biscuits simply perfect and the booth
was continually thronged with people
eagerly asking to be served with the re-
ireShing beverage. The verdict was I'M
animous that Panhandle Coffee vas really
the best, and the impression made was
positive and enduring.

Mrs. VI. ZiegenfeIder's Cream as Usual,
Captures the Prize.

Mrs. Xicgenlelder'S Ice Cream has added
one more laurel rs an evidence OF its SUI
periOrity over all other cream. 1t will be
remembered that Mrs. I~iegentelier cap
tured the prize at the State Fair last year,
,lS-Jl over all competitors in the midst of
a warmly contested competition. This
year Ziegentclder'S cream was. the only
cream entered for premium, and of course,
not only received the prize, but the high
rSt encomiumS of praise from the thOus-
andS of ladies who visited Horticultural
Hall. Mrs. ~Ziegentelder has been linden
titled with the confectionery business in
this city for the past twenty-five years,
and during all that time, by a thorough
aud efficient knowledge Of every depart
mcnt OF her business, by careful attention
Ia the wishes of her customers, together
with Il due appreciation OF the 4 liberal
patronage received, she has succeeded in
placing herself ut the head OF the contcc-
tioncry business in Wheeling.
Almost every business that have met
with success have either 4 trade mark or

The Vegetable and Beef Slicer Exhibited
by Mr.. W. 5. Freed.
Along the east side of the Agricultural
Hall during the Fair, groups of persons
could be constantly seen examining and
admiring the very novel and useful article
of kitchen furniture exhibited by Mr.. w.
S. Freed, of Moundsville. 1t is known as
Wharry & Freed's vegetable and beei
~slicer, and is undoubtedly n OF the most
useful inventions brought to our notice for
some time. The plan upon which it is
operated is simple, yet the manner in
which it performs its work is perfect and
complete, besides this its cheapneSs is a
special point in it's favor, costing only four
dollars (about half the price of the regular
beef chipper) and is much more complete
and does such q larger variety OF work.

There has been no change in the League
race the past week. Detroit has been play
ing splendid ball, frightened her grip on
second place, and decreased the lead Chi
cagO has held over her for the past two
weeks. The latter club administered four
crushing defeats to the New York Giants,
and this, with the three Waterloos from
the Detroits, has thrown the gilt-edged
team hopeleSsly in the rear in the fight for
the pennant. Indeed, the New Workers
will have to wake upalittle to retain third
place. The st. Louis Maroons have forti,
fed themselves in sixth place by brilliant
playing, but they will hardly be able to
improve their present position:

The exceptionally droll terms OF the
wager recently won by Harmon at the
StanwiX Hotel in Detroit, holding his
head submerged in the water of Il bath-tub
for l26 seconds without taking air, recalls
, 4 number of other queer and remarkable
featS which have at various times and places
been achieved in the contest for wagerS, the
record OF which have been picked up here
and there from the papers and periodicals
of the time.
Pedestrian contests have been perhaps
the most numerous and varied. Captain
Bartley, a noted pedestrian in the early
part Of the present century, began his ex-
PLOTS at the early age of IL by walking six
miles, fair heel and toe, in q little less than
an hour. His next feat was a walk in mid
summer from Try, in Kincardineshire, to
BorOughbridge, in Yorkshire, something
over 300 miles in five days. He afterward,
on n wager of 1000 guineas, walked ninety
miles in nineteen hours and TWENTY-FIVE
minutes.
This Captain BARLEY was the pedestrian
who first introduced the feat that has
since been so many times attempted, that
of walking 1000 miles in |. 900 consecutive
hours. To do twenty-four miles a day for
six weeks is 4 formidable undertaking for
any but a trained pedestrian, and quite out
of the range Of possibility for very large
majority. The case isQuitea different one
when every hour in the six weeks, night
and day, Is to have its distinct mile of
walking, wilhelm the former he could have
a long and sound sleep every night. The
feat had been attempted several times pre-
viOus to 1912, but BARLEY was the first TO
accomplish it.
Not less than e1OO, 600 wa wagered on
the resultof the contest. The walking oc-
cupied forty-one days and a few hours
time, from June 1 to July II, and took

Mr.. Miller is a member of the Executive
Committee, ex-President, and at present
Vice President of the American Devon
Cattle Club.
A wise investment in the introduction OF
English blood into this herd, together
with skill and intelligence in breeding has
produced q herd second to lone in Amer
lea. This herd for the last ten years has
competed successfully with the best herds
in this country.
