TIE REAL FACTS
or That Proposed Sale OF Brooke County
Wool.

Wool.
In reference to the statement con-
tanned in last Mondays Register to the
effect that Col. G. H. Beall, the Brooke
county wool grower, had refused to ac-
cept the proposition Of Mr.. Thomas
Everett, Of Wellsburg, who was said to
have offered him thirty cents a pound
for his wool for the next five years,
Colonel Beall authorizes the following
statement:
A discussion having arisen between
the two gentlemen as to the effect OF the
removal OF the tariff on wool, the Col
onel remarked that he wouldbe entirely
willing to engage in advance his whole
clip for thirty cents per pound, the
price to continue in force for as many
years as Democratic administration
should remain in power. Mr.. Everett
declined to agree to this, but would
agree to give the price named for five
years, provided the contract should hold
good in the event OF the Republicans
coming into power at the next election.
InlB, OF course, OQlOnel heull WOQlu not
accede to, and all his efforts TO enter
into an agreement in the matter proving
unavailing, he further offered Mr..
Everett cash bonus OF one hundred
dollars to secure any purchaser for his
clip ON the same conditions. Up to
date the offer has not been accepted.
1t may be added that the Colonel esti-
mates his loss, in corI.non with all
other wool growers, by the agitation
which has followed the Introduction OF
the Mills bill, us already very serious,
and looks for such a reduction OF prices
in the event OF the bill becoming law,
as will endanger the very existence Of
the whole wool industry in West Vir-
ginia. Not only would the loss be seri-
ops to those Immediately engaged in
this business, but Us an incident to the
decline in wool would follow an en-
hancement in the price of mutton,
which owing to its abundance up to this
time, has controlled the prices OF all
other meats in the interests Of the work
ing peODle.

DEFEATED AT COLUMBUS,
whoeling's Loss Yestertlay-A Benefit Game
to be- Plnyed-Other Games.

It rained at Mansfield Saturday and
the game the Wheeling ball team was
scheduled to play had to be postponed.
Yesterday the Wheeling team played
the game scheduled for to-day with
Columbus, and suffered another defeat,
the story Of which is briefly but elo-
quently told in the base hit and error
columns. The difference between the
hitting done by the Wheeling team nj
home and away from home is one OF the
strangest things in base ball circles
Yesterdays batting was unusually weak.
The team will conclude its present
trip at GAINESVILLE on Thursday Of this
week. 1t has three more games to
play-one at Columbus on Tuesday,
and two at GAINESVILLE, on wednesday
and Thursday.
Coming home the team will commence
its third series OF games at Island Park
on the 18th inst, one week from to-day.
Eight games will be played as follows:
Canton, Is and Il; Mansfield, 10 and lG;
Columbus, II and Is, and GAINESVILLE,
20 and p. Alter these games the team
will go away on its final trip, and on its
return from that trip will play the final
ten games it is scheduled for on the
home grounds.
The game to be played with Canton
next Monday will be a beneftgame. 1t
was announced in this paper on Satur-
day that it was probable that the direc-
tors Of the Association would Mt an
early day call on the public for q little
outside assistance. Saturday evening it
was decided to make this call by means
of benefit game. Tickets will be sold
for this game at 81 each,
and the directors hope that there
will be at least 1000 purchasers. II
there are enough enthusiastic patrons at
tend this game at 81 per head the club
will be able to pull through the balance
OF the season. This far 1t has gotten
along without making any frantic ap-
peals for financial aid as other clubs in
the League have done and the directors
feel warranted in asking at this time that
the benefit game be well patronized.

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTED ONE.
A Second Democrat who Accuses the Pos
master of Bad Faith.

master of Bad Faith.
1t is understood that Mr.. John Weis'
gerber is not the only member Of
the Young Mems Democratic Club
who has handed in his resignation for
the reason that he no longer desires to
be included in an organization that has
among its membership Postmaster Rob
ert Simpson and his crew Of offensive
partisans. 1t will be remembered that
MIR. Weisgerber's resignation was pre-
scented to the club last Friday evening,
at which time the able politician who
runs the Wheeling postotlice was raked
over the Goals by Mr.. Weisgerber's
friends in a lively and interesting man
ner. Mr.. Weisgerber in the past has not
only been worker for Democracy, but
he has been n contributing member, and
was certainly as much entitled to reward
us any Democrat in the land.
The other case referred to is similar
one. A short time since man named
Hughes was appointed to fill vacancy.
There was another petitioner for the place
who had on his recommendations and
petition the names OF Senator John f.
Kenna, Noah Beck, Tlom Dallah and
other shining and leading apostles Of
Democracy. Naturally when Hughes
was announced as the winner, the other
man and his friends wanted to know
what was the matter with his claim.
They were assured that there was
nothing wrong, but that one place could
not accommodate two men and that
Hughes had happened to have the best
claim. They were also informed that
it was very probable there would be
more places to fill shortly, and that their
that no more consideration was shown
him than Weisgerber, when the new
places were filed, and the list OF those
who called the r. NJ. hard names and
swore vengeance has been correspond

COLUMBUS, August 5.-The Columbus
and Wheeling clubs put up onc.of the
most exciting games Of ball to-day that
was ever played on the home grounds.
The visitors led off by scoring in the
first, and the odds appeared to be in
their favor until the last inning. In
the third Morrison struck out three men
in succession, and it was not until the
fifth that Columbus was able to score.
The game was tied in the seventh and
remained so at the close OF the ninth.
Wheeling scored one at the commence.
ment OF its half of the tenth and seemed
to be in fair way to make another, two
men being on bases with Brodie ut the
bat; he, however, failed to paste the
ball at the right time, giving the home
team the game. Van Zant, on third,
carried off the laurels for the visitors,
having three put outs and three assists.
