4 GOOD NEW INDUSTRY
Which tho Indications nro that
Wheeling will have soon.
4 LARGE new CANNING FACTORY
Talked 0fby tho Local JObhcrs..-Thc
Great Advantages In such IN Enter
prise for those Interested and for
tho Community In Gcncral...Past
Growth.

OF all the industries OF recent
growth in Wheeling, none, unless it be
the manufacture OF smoking and chew
ing tobacco, has shown anything like
tho growth and prosperity OF the can.
ming and catsup business. A very few
years ago there was no such industry
in Wheeling, while to-day three large
concerns are here, and they have been
compelled by the growth Of tho bust.
ness 10 increase their facilities con-
stantly, until today no person who
does not keep his eyes OIL that matter
especially has any conception OF the
volume OF trade in that line. The
three firms alluded to each have n spc-
ciNlty, in addition to tho general bust
ness, and they have given Wheeling 4
name rs 4 maker OF catsup and pre-
serves which 10 other town in the
country can boast.
II has been Il matter OF common re-
mark in tho recent past that there was
room for still other speCiNltios in the
trade, that other canncrics would thrive
here, whore the facilities for getting
fruits and other requisites are unsur-
passed anywhere i'll tho land. Recent
" 4 movement has ben started to cstub-
lish another canning establishment, do
voted to q greater extent than those
now existing to tho putting up OF the
commoNor grades OF canned goods, such
goods as the Wheeling jobburs now
have to buy elsewhere. 1t is argued
with good reason that much fruit and
vegetables now so TO waste in IN espcc-
tally productive year, such us the last
ono was, which, were there Il canncry
here using that grade OF goods, could
be bought cheap, and yet increase the
growers income materially. This
would save to the jobbcr here the
freight on tho goods, leave the money
Mt home, and furnish employment to
many hands not now employed.
Some of the leading jobbcrs have
canvasscd the matter thoroughly, and
yesterday it was announced that the
canncry would be built next year, be-
You'd q reasonable doubt, and be in op-
Grafton by the opening OF the fruit and
vegetable season. The men at the head
OF the enterprise are OF u character to
guarantee success to any undertaking.
1t is safe to wager that by next year the
growing canning industry OF Wheeling
will have, besides the natural growth,
which has been enormous, and is still
going on, the considerable addition OF 4
large new plant, well equipped Tor do
ing 4 big business from the start.

The attraction ut the Grand last night
WAS "Josia Simpkins,"a comedy very
much on tho order vi "Joshua Whit
comb" and it was seen and applaudcd
by Il large audience. The story is in
tGresting and is skiliulIy dramatized. j..
". Garner, who takes the title role, is n
line character actor, well known for his
work IN other parts, and he demon
stlated again that lie possessed not only
genius, but versatility. Messrs. West,
Sutherland, Wright and Swartwood also
showed themselves capable actors, and
Mcssrs. Arnold, Porter, Ford and Alt
house were satisfactory in their roles.
Nelly Fay, as the newsboy, acted well,
and her singing and dancing added
much to the enjoyment OF the perform
ance. Miss Evans's rendition OF the
part OF tho loquacious old maid was adj
mlrab!e, and Misses Rostellc and Spcn-
Ger were all that could be desired, while
Miss Wright is nm actress of much tai
cnt and grace. The incidental special
ties are artistic and enjoyable, and the
country dance ut the windup amusing.
Altogether the performance was high
ly creditablc, and it was to be regretted
that the company's engagement was
Tor but Il night.

REFUNDED THE $500 CASH,

Amusing Incident of the Recent
Drought in China.
This story of the drought in China
is curious. Every ten days during
the drought Zimmerman" issued
proclamations forbidding the slaugh-
tering Of animals for only two days
at a time. At first these proclama.
tions were very mild, but later one
read thus:
Obeying my superiors, this procla-
nation is issued, and again we be-
seech the favor of heaven. Sheep,
hogs, and all such animals, must not
be slaughtered, nor must there be
any barter in them. Chickens, ducks,
fish and shrimps must not be sold
for food. Onions and garlic must not
be eaten. Let no one lightly or neg
ligently regard this. If any one pur-
pOsely disregards the proclamation,
he will be brought before the magis-
rrate, beaten and made to wear the
cangue.
Before the paste of this proclama-
ton was dry the hsien's flor magis-
trate's) cook entered the yamen, but
he was challenged, examined and
some fish found on him.
Although the runners were told
that the fish was for the hsien, they
turned a deaf ear, and reminding the
cook of the csstiron proclamation, re-
lieved him of the fish.
The cook duly reported the matter
to the hsien, and the two runners,
who dared to carry out his own pro.
clamatien were beaten, and made to
refund the 5000 cash paid out the
fish.

Famine HERCULES.

Wonderful Feats of Strength Per.
formed by a Female Athlete.
The audiences Of the variety theatre
of the Crystal Palace Of Leipsic, Ger.
many, from whose stage many prime
curiOsitles have been promoted to
wealth and affluence by emigrating
to the dime museums of the United
States, are all agog at the present
time over q female athlete, Miss Vic
torina.
Miss Vicforlna is a handsome wo-
man, tall muscular, and very grace
full withsl in the various exploits in
which she exhibits her wonderful
bodily strength. To lift hundreds OF
pounds in weight with one hand is
child's play to her. She tears,
bursts, and cuts in two iron chains
with links one. quarter inch in thick
ness, and stops the progress of q can
non ball by catching the missile in
her hand, thus rObbing it of its ira
lectOry force.
This wonderful feat OF catching a
cannon ball that weighs twelve
pounds, at a distance of ten feat from
the mouth of the gun, is one of the
most wonderful performances ever
witnessed by anybody. Prowess and
absolute certainty go hand in hand
with extraordinary strength.
Loaded down with 624 pounds,
gigantic balancing rod in her hands,
and with heavy iron balls dangling
from her body. Miss Victorina dis.
plays her almost superna ural
strength to the very best advantage
To lift 100 pounds with her teeth is
sSn easy task for the female Hercules.
With one thrust of her arm she
snaps asunder strong iron
chain like thin piece of cord. This
is done by the enormous tension
which is given to the muscles of hsr
upper arm. She also cuts in two
with one blow of her powerful fist q
chain stretched between two poles.
She closes each daily performance
in the tableau of the ironclad Ger
mania. her body encssed in a steal
armor and balancing on her shoulder
the barrel of an enormous cannon.

A Good Time to Advertise.

1t is generally admitted that the
prosperity of this country depends
upon the ability of the agricultural
classes to spend money, and whether
they spend money or not depends
upon whether they have it to spend.
Last year the total value of the cereal
crops marketed by the farmer was
four hundred and fifty million $3.50,
O0O,DO0) dollars, as gathered from the
most reliable sources. From very
conservative estimates the wheat
crop this year will; at Chicago prices,
amount to six hundred and fifty
millions, and allowing twenty (20)
per cent for carrying sans by the
railroads, will leave the farmer net
for wheat alone the sum of five hun.
dred and twenty million $3.50, 200, 900
dollars. Corn last year sold in Iowa
at the railroad station at fifteen cents
a bushel. Today iG lie selling at forty
cents up, and this crop is nearly one
third larger than last year. 4 large
proportion of the corn crop is retained
for stock and home uses, but it is be.
lteved that the amount shipped will
net the farmer more than the wheat
crop, as the proportion of corn to
wheat is about four to one; so, not
counting for all the other crops, the
farmer will net without question over
billion dollars, all in cash.
The conditions that existed In the
years of 1879 and $50 now exist, only
in q greater degree. We have a lar
ger surplus of cereals, while Europe
has greater shortage. Their stom
achs must be filled, aud we have the
wherewithal to fill it, for considera-
tions.
The four hundred and fifty millions
that the farmer received last year and
spent for his necessities he will also
spend this year for the same purpose,
but the surplus of five hundred ana
fifty millions which he did not have
last year but has this, he will also
spend for such comforts or luxuries
as he may think he needs or wants.
This money will go into all chan
nels of trade, into the pockets of the
great public, who will in time spend
