A LARGE INCREASE
SHOWN IN TIE CITY VALUATION OF PROP
RRTY.
A Gain Of About $4,000 in Realty, and Pro
pOrtiOnsis Increase il Personal Property
So Far as Returned.

Messrs. D. L. Hughes and Joseph
Yahn, the city assessors, have returned
all their books to the City Clerk, except
the personal property book for the dis
trict north Of the creek, which has not
yet been completed, but which will be
in a few days. The totals so far show
an increase in the total valuation for
purposes of taxation, of nearly $3.50, 900,
and this sum will be increased by the
personal property book still to come in.
Realty shows the greatest increase,
and thisin the face of the fact that
the most Of the largest improvements
made during the past year were not
completed in time to be included in this
years valuation, and will have to lie
over, at the old figures, until the assess
ment for 1892. 1t is estimated that
these improvements alone will jump the
valuation up $500, 900 next year.
The real estate table for the entire
city is as follOWs:-

A GIRLS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

The Georgia Normal and Industrial
College will be opened at Milledgeville,
that State, in the fall 1t is large and
splendidly equipped institution. It's
purpose is to prepare young women for
the responsible vocation Of teaching by
the best methods known to modern ped
agogies and to give them thorough in
struction and practical training in those
industrial arts suitable for women TO
pursue as a means Of livelihood, andsin
those household arts that will fit them
to become good housewives and home
makers. 1.-THE State of Georgia" says
the Atlanta Constitution, ''never found
ed a nobler institution. It's power for
good is inealculable."
The school is bound to be pronounc-
ed success, as all such institutions are.
II they can do these things on such
scale in Georgia, why can we not do the
same things in West Virginia? A man
ual training school for the boys and girls
OF our public schools in Wheeling such
as will amply suffice for our needs at
the beginning need not be nearly so
costly nor extensive as the State insti-
tuition which Georgia has had no
trouble in establishing, and as the
REGISTER has already demonstrate
ed scores OF times, nothing stands
IN the way Of the adoption Of so desir-
able an institution in this city except
the apathy Of our Board Of Education.
By g little financial ingenuity enough
can be sayedUy Tue Doord TO give us a fair
start in manual training AMI at the same
time improve our school system. Some
unnecessary branches, such as music,
for instance, can well be dispensed with.
The grammar rooms, which in some in
stances are not one-tenth full, can be
consolidated in one building, which
can also contain the manual training de-
partment; this will be a very consid-
cradle saving in room and teachers sal
aries. There is, in fact, no reason at
all why Wheeling should lag behind in
the vastly important matter Of the
proper education Of her future citizens.

a Wild Man.

While hunting on the farm of Samuel
Riley, near Heath, Belmont county, last
week, David Crow discovered what he
saws was a wild man in the woods. He
saws the wild man was about five feet
tail, weighing fully 200 pounds, COW
cred with long reddish hair, having a
strange shaped head, huge ears, small
eyes, large mouth, teeth like those of a
WILD boar. Crow is said to be a man OF
veracity, but most people will want to
hear something more Of that wild man
before they go wild over the story.

The highest notch reached was 81 de-

comparatively cool weather which pre-
vailed hitherto, the warm wave was
particularly noticeable, and many per-
sons. especially workmen in exposed po-
sitions on buildings, barely escaped sue
cumbing to the torrid rays. Fortu-
nately no serious prostrations were re-

BUILD THE sEwER.

The other day the REGrsrER published
some opinions Of committee Of experts
sent out by the Ohio State Board Of
Health to examine into the water sup
plies furnished Ohio cities by the Ohio
river. 1t the case Of Cincinnati the COM
mittee, in a preliminary report. gave
as its opinion the statement that il Gin
cinnati would go above her own
sewers for her water she would
have supply Of pure water
for ages to come. High authoritits
hold that running stream will purify
itself Of ordinary pollution in two miles
from the source Of pollution. At Wheel
ing we have clear stretch Of 16 miles
20 Wellsburg, whose sewage is small.
The REGISTER has advised that the
city build a sewer to carry all the filth,
including surface drainage, Of North
Wheeling to point below the water
works. This should be done, in any
event, for more or less Of this filth, es-
pecially at a low stage Of water,
finds its way into the reservoir. No
more time than is absolutely necessary
should be loss in building such sewer.
This plan is cheap and entirely feasible
and Council should lose no time in re-
moving for good this immediate and
probably worst source of pollution.
Pending final settlement of the
water question, let US have the water
we must drink till that question is
settled, as free from impurities as pos
sible.

Grandpop's Revenge.

''It is l,.rd to fix the exact date when
a man forgets that he ever was hoy,
but it is usually about the time his
oldest sons two boys get big enough
TO cut up ana be sassy TO their gran'iher.
That was the time my grandfather for
got" said s man on the row the ether
evening TO a Washington Post rs-
porter. "My brother Lew and my
self used to go to an unCle up in Bucks
County where the old gentleman lived.
lie was nearly 80, weighed over two
hundred, walked heavily with a cane,
and was the crossest man | ever saw.
His particular delight was i'll whacking
us boys with his cane when we got
within reach, and running us down to
the neighbors.
"'Them boys o. Lewis's air leetle
the wust, most wuthless cubs l ever
seen,' he would say.
ave had pet coon. 1t was fun
nier than cageful of monkeys. One
day it got into the old gentleman's
early vegetable garden and dug up
some cucumber vines. He caught it
by the chain and broke its back with
his cane. We had to have vengeance.
1t was plain case of murder. That
coon was in our eyes more of a human
being and a good deal more of a
Christian than he was. Gran'ther had
habit of going down to the meadow
and sitting on the top rail of the fence
to watch the men make hay. We
sawed his pet rail half through and
l6osened the rider stakes. When he
sat down the whole business gave away
and he went over into a big briar
patch. My aunt put in half a day
picking splinters out of him. We
were hustled off out of sight for a
week while he spread over the town
his version of our attempt upon his
life.
Every evening the old fellow
would sit in the chimney nook and sip
pint of hot rum and water. AT 8
o'clock my aunt and uncle would each
take side and ship him off to bed.
He snored like distant thunder. If he
were touched he would stop snoring
for half hour. Our room was on the
same floor. One night couldn't stand
his terrible roof-raising racket, so l
got up, found ball of twlne, unrolled
hundred feet, made a slip-noose in
one end ard fastened it to the old
gentleman's big toe, carrying the free
end to my own room. Then jumping
into bed, when gran'ther snored 1 gave
the string tug and he would stop. 1t
was very funny.
al felt quite pleased at my inven-
ton. Gran'ther was an early riser.
He woke up next morning about 5
o'clock and found the string tied to
his toe. He got his cane and went on
the trail. II led to my room, and the
other end was knotted to my wrist.
