Now You Know What Constitutes Success
in These Days

Now fou Know What Constitutes Success
in These Days
Competition is the life of trade,
says one of the oldest and truest of
business maxims. 1t may well be
applied to everything of human in
terest which has a human source.
Especially is this true of amuse-
ments. Competition compels the
amusement caterers to be on the
alert at all times to find something
new and the best of the things that
are old. Whenever there is competi-
ton the successful competitor is he
who has the superior capital in
money, brains and experience Thus-
it is that the oldest, largest and rich
est of all the amusement concerns of
thei country is able to maintain its
supremacy year after year, and each
succeeding year to be. better and
better than ever before There is no
reason why there should be any ret
repression upon their part and there
is. every reason for their progression
As the, Adam Forepaugh Shows are
the acknowledged oldest, largest and
richest,of all amusement concerns,
they are by the, same token the best
OF all. They will he here on Satur-
day, Aug. >, and the exhibition they
are giving this year will amply. veri-
fy this statement and demonstrate
the clearness of its logic. All; the
big posters and all the big words in
the world cannot change facts or con
ditions, and the intelligent public is
never likely to be deceived by them.

THE RowLEsBURG BRIDGE.

A committee of Rowlesburg citi-
zens were here last week before the
County Court asking for bridge
across Cheat river at that place.
Several OF the bridge men were here
and submitted proposals to the
Court, the substance OF which was
that they would build a good iron
bridge with good substantial abut-
ments and two piers for s11, 900,
and it was claimed by the agents Of
the company now building an iron
bridge across the river at st.
George, twenty miles above Rowles-
burg, that as they had all their
machinery there, ETC., they could
build now for less money than at
any other time and the committee
argued that now while times were
hard, was the best time to build
because labor and material was
cheap. The Court spent consider
able time on the matter, but finally
voted 1T down and postponed the
matter for the present, but gave
encouragement to the Rowlesburg-
ers to try again at the October
term, and perhaps then or by an
other year anyhow, the County
would be IN position to build the
bridge. The vote on building it
now was rejected by vote of three
to four, the President of the Court
not voting, as there was no tie.
Messrs. McKinz;e, Walls and Nc
Ginnis voted for, and Sinclair,
McCrum and she two Corners
against building now. Everybody
agreed that the bridge was needed
and should be built, but the Court
seemed afraid to tackle it yet
awhile. Our advice to Rowlesburg
is to keep hammering away till she
gets the bridge. Among the prom
inent business men of the town who
were here pushing the matter was,
Mayor j. 9. Hooton, Postmaster
?. A. Coniff, Merchant W. w.
Shock and Engineer Robert Hollis.

THE PENSION FRAUDS.
A Record of the Money Saved TO the
Taxpayers Since May.

WASHINGTON, ID. g., July. THE
special examination division Of the
Bureau of Pensions, which is charg-
ed with the investigation Of crimi-
nal matters in pension claims, as
well as the investigation OF merit
claims in which prima facie case
has been established before refer
ence to that division, has kept a
record since May 1, of the amount
involved in first payment of every
case rejected after special investi-
Cation. This record shows that
for the months of May and June
last. in these prima facie cases,
which would have been allowed had
they not been specially investigated,
the first payment would have
amounted to $3.50. 279.
A great many cases Investigated
were found to possess merit and
we're allowed, but of the mum Der in
vestigated and rejected, a saving to
the government of the above
amount has resulted. The ex-
penses of the special examination
division for the months of May and
juno last, and all other matters
pertaining to the work Of the diyis.
ion, amounted to $50, $50, leaving
net saving to the government of
$l13,384
To this amount may be added
80, 404, which was converted in cash
by special examiners, and converted
into the treasury, making the total
saving to the government of S1l6,-
1873.

WIT AND WISDOM.

From the wetzel Democrat
Something remarkable that the
men who don't get pensions want
the list to be roll of honor, and
the men who do get them don't
want 1T to be.
The Duke of Veragua broke him
self up raising bulls for Spanish
fights. The fellow who raises PEN
nyroYal bulls for this beef market
ought to be broke up with a club.
There arc great macy people
who believe with Bill Nye that the
5th of July ought to be abolished,
as it usually requires the services
of a monkey-wrench to get your
hat on, on that sad, sad day.
West Virginia day at the Worlds
Fair will be on September 18th.
Let all who can attend and deco
rate the brow of the fair young girl
with amarauthine flowers and toast
her in eloquent speech and elysian
song.
A fellow who couldn't spare a
dollar and half year for a news
paper, sent fifty two cent stamps to
a down east Yankee to know how
to raise beets. He got an answer,
"Take hold of the top and pull. {"
Ex-Secretary Charley Foster, of
Ohio, everdrew his account at his
own bank by about $3.50, 900 and
couldn't replace 1T. His bank
busted and his friends who had de
posted funds were swindled. He
then blamed the whole thing on
Cleveland and the Democratic par
ty. This is clearly in line with the
arguments used by Bill Mckinley
aud the Republican press, and is
not a whit more dishonest and dis
graceful.
When you hear fellow complain
ing of the low price of wool, he is a
Republican. When you hear one
complaining Of the low price of
wheat, he is a Democrat. The Re-
publican says that the low price Of
wool is because the Mckinley tariff
is about to be taken of. The Dem.
ocrat says that the tariff ism t
worth continental, for wheat is
lower with it than it was without IT..
Now who talks with the most sense?

up strife and resentment among the
old soldiers about the pension bua-

Finer growing weather was never

matter along to maturity. The
amount Of hay to the acreage is so
immense that the farmers hardly
know what to do with it. Wheat
is mostly cut and promises an enor-
nous yield. with quality most ex.
cellent. Corn and oats never bet
ter for great yield. Alsike seed
will also head the list IN quality
aud yield, which is now ready to
harvest. The fruit crop is consid-
cradle short this year-spples, in
particular, will be almost an entire
failure.
