There may oe a serious time TO procure
seed for oats and CON next spring, and
we would advise that those who have
last years oats on hand to keep them
over, for we have our doubts about this
years crop growing. If they do grow
the germ is certainly weak, and a very
inferior stalk will be the result. To pro-
vide for seed corn we advise that every
select an acre or W and cut of
the stalk Just above the ear, which will
cause the corn to mature fully two weeks
in advance of the balance of the field.

to feed the human family with bread for
Il year that they can state the amount

wheat. is warning his fellow farmers
TO hold onto their wheat and keep
1t for IA season in Their own bins

ment at the Grand, appearing in his well
known play, "The Waits Of New York. "
Few stars have been more successful
than Mr.. Wood. Every city he appears
in, crowded houses are the rule, and
Wheeling is no exception, One reason
for this Is that Mr.. Wood always has a
tirst-class company, the best that money
can procure, and another reason is that
his play is just suited to the average
theatre:goer and is handsomely staged
with elaborate special scenery, compris-
ing ten different and distinct sets, show
Ing places of interest in New York,
where the action Of the play takes place.
This season Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Woods
manager, promises the finest scenery
and the best company that Mr.. Wood
has ever had since he began starring
twelve years ago.

In Sig. Baldanza Mr.. Gilmore has Sc
cured the best tenor which can be pre-

be called an electrical tenor, in the full
possession Of that strength, clearness and

in the very front rank among great and
rare tenors. His method is the purest
Italian, acquired by full development in
his native country. He also has u
splendid dramatic presence, which adds

The Wheeling organ of the Demo.
cratic party, few days since, advised
Republicans who did not like Demo-
cratic methods in West Virginia to go
elsewhere. 1t seems, however, that
Democrats themselves are becoming
very tired OF the political outlook. They
don't like the idea Of remaining in a
Suite that has shown its determination
to cut off from the Solid South. One
well.known Democrat in this city is in
correspondence with business men in
an extreme Southern State with a view
to adopting it us his future home. He
told his friends here that West Virginia
ia becoming too close politically to suit
him, and he proposes to move to a com
munity where Democrats have things
their own way, and where Republicans
have no show. West Virginia is just q
little too progressive to suit that man.

THE TRADES ASSEMBLY.
Not Much Done ssterdSy-BOllermake
Plans.


The bi.weekly meeting Of the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly yes
terday afternoon was without many
features Of special interest The subject
Of the strike on the new basin OF the
city water works was taken up, but after
some discussion was left as 1t now is,
There had been report that the sub
ject OF Italian labor on the railroads
over the river would come up for action,
but it was not mentioned. There has
been some talk on this subject in the
city, but the people over the river say
there have been no Italian laborers en-
pioyed on the Union bridge or Its ter:
minals. Indeed, but little work, and
that Of preliminary character, has been
done on the Ohio side, while there GER
tainly has been no Italian labor EN-
ployed on this side.
After the Trades Assembly adjourned,
the striking boilermakers held meeting
and discussed the project to start q CO.
operative boiler works in the city. The
talk was all Of an encouraging charaet 7,
and one OF the strikers said he had no
doubt the project would be a go, as q
comparatively small sum OF money ID
required to successfully inaugurate such
an enterprise.
