REMEDY
Will do for Cancer.
Cancer Cured---Read.
R1NGwooD, N. c., May 2, 1887.

MRS. JOE PERSON: o@a
Dear Madam Most gladly do I give
you my name to place before h public,
bearing testimony of the miraculous cure
effected IN me by your most valuable
Remedy. Fifteen years ago l was troubled
by what seemed to be little scales ap-
pearing on the right side of my cheek
under the eye, resembling dry meal bran,
which | could remove when I shaved, but
they would return again in a short time.
Soon an enlargement appeared under the
same eye, attended with itching and
burning sensations, and sharp, darling
pains from the affected place to the eye,
causing great difficulty in closing the eye,
even to sleep. Sometimes it would feel
better, but never at any time disappear.
Some physicians pronounced it eczema,
others chronic erysipelas, and all advised
me to let 1T alone. This I did until two
years ago., when a little scab began to
form right under the eye, resembling a
wart, which I could not remove; in size
and appearance it soon grew to be as large
as a strawberry, and the scab came off
and left the place entirely raw. Having
fear of a cancer, [ began to use various
kinds of salves to heal it up, but never
could. l consulted with physicians OF
great experience; they said it looking
suspicious of it, and advised me to have it
cut or burnt at once. Ibid not wish to do
either; and being persuaded it was in my
blood, I resolved to try your Remedy, as
it had peer recommended to me. [ did
so with the most happy results. 1 can say
I am a nell man. l canno say too much
for your Remedy. It is worth it's weight
in gold. Before I had used one bottle l
was hopeful, and at the expiration of five
weeks the sore was entirely healed, the
scales and roughness Of the skin all gone,
and left me a new man. [ will give any
n similarly affected any further infor-
nation they may desire, and can only say,
if the public will give your Remedy a
trial, it will speak for itself, and your sue
cess will know no bounds. God speed
the day that must dawn upon your future
prosperity! Yours most truly,
JAMES CARTER ARLINGTON.

THE BBNBFIT BALL GAME
Proves u Dismal Failure Financially and
the Game Is Lost In Addition.

Proves u Dismal Failure Financially and
the Game is Lost In Addition.
At one time, owing to the great crowd
(?) that was rushing in the gates at the
Island ball park yesterday afternoon, it
was thought that the ropes would have
to be stretehed-that is, around the
necks of those who did not attend. The
bright sun of a perfect afternoon smiled
on only about one hundred enthusiasts
who braved the loss Of a one dollar bill.
The game was gloomy, the crowd was as
quiet as Bridgeport on holiday, and
even the breeze was dead at times in an
effort to depress everybody. Wheeling
ought to have won, but 1t is useless to
tell how; the chance has gone glimmer-
ing like the fading twilight in which the
game ended.
The game was lost through Nichols
muff OF fly and Yaik's miss OF the
third strike of Q'Brien in the first in
ming. Flanagan was unusually wild.
Nichol, however, redeemed himself by
his work with the stick. Brodie's field
lug was clean and handsome, and Zecli-
er's play at short was what saved the
visitors from defeat. 0tterson did good
work for Wheeling in the field, but
failed to show upatthe bat in his usual
form.
In the first inning, amid the Cypress
i've silence OF the two thousand people
who ought to have been present, Nichol
hit safe over second, stole the second
bag, went to third on a BASED ball and
scored on Yaik's beautiful liner to cen
ter for two bases. Yak attempted Ia
make third on this hit, but by bat
coaching he was put out. Nicholson
went out on fly to left, and Crogar
died at first.
Williams hit to Flanagan who threw
him out ut first. Delaney hit safe Il
center, stole second and scored OF
Nichols muff OF Virtues long fly
O'Brien reached first on Yaik's miss o
his third strike. Yak complained o
his sore finger and Stencil was called il
from right field to take his place. Virtue
afterwards scored on Briggs out at first
Wheeling tied the score in the sixth b!
NiCholson's clean hit past third, a goot
steal Of second and Brodie's whiskeret
liner to center.
In the seventh inning with one maj
ont, and with two strikes on Monroe
Flanagan gave him his base on balls. A
that supreme moment freddy" William
hit the ball far out in center field for {
home run, and then the gloom grew
thicker and the crowd thinner. Tina

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS

tion on tho Island.

Among the several permanent I'M
provements that have been made this
season by the West Virginia State Fair
and Exposition Association on its
grounds at the foot OF Wheeling Island,
the most important are the new Floral
and Horticultural halls that have been
erected. The experience OF the past
two or three seasons demonstrated that
for the horticultural display substan-
tial structure was necessary to make the
display in that department the attractive
success that exhibitors evinced desire
to make it, and such a building has been
erected ut considerable expense. 1t will
he devoted to displays OF wool, grains,
preserves, breads, cakes, cheese, Yeget-
ables, fruits, bees, apiarian supplies, etc.
The indications are that this department
will be OVERLOOKING with exhibits, and
that the results to be attained both in
that and the new Floral hall will prove
that the erection OF permanent buildings
was wise move on the part OF the as
ISOLATION.
The Floral Hall will again be under the
personal supervision Of Mrs. j. II. Hobbs
and Mrs. Caroline Brues, who in years
past have done so much in this depart
meot towards making the fair success.
The new hall is larger and finer than the
old one and will be made a bower of
beauty when filed with the exhibits for
which it is designed,
The eighth annual fair will open
August 2S and continue five days.

"Doc" Wilson, Will Clator, Eccles
Filan and Ed Stewart, the four men
charged by Assessor Noah Zane with
going through him while he was under
the influence OF liquor and getting about
500 from him, besides beating him up
considerably, were before Justice Ankle
yesterday morning for the purpose Of
having their preliminary hearing. In
the testimony that was had, 1t was shown
that the only men with Zane in the car

accompanied the men to the stable, but
on the proprietor Directing to so many
going in the carriage, Filan and Clator
were left out.
Ferguson, the driver OF the carriage,
testified that he saw Wilson fumbling
in Zane's pockets, which was considered
pretty conclusive evidence OF his guilt.
The other men were only connected with
the case on suspicion, they having been
with Zane before the carriage ride was
taken. After this testimony all the de-
fendants were discharged with the ex-
ception of Wilson, who was held in the
sum of $1,000 for his appearance at
