Plenty Of Wheeling Money Going to the Worlds
Fair-Ihs indianapolis Excursion
Personal POinS


the travel TO the Worlds Fair during
the past week, but the railroads expect
heavier passenger business during the
month Of September, than for any sim
liar period since the opening Of the big
Exposition. Certain it is that Wheel
ing will be well represented at the Fair,
from this time until its close.
Thus far there have been fully
twenty-five hundred visitors to the Fair
from Wheeling aud immediate vicinity.
Did you ever stop 70 think that this
fact alone may have had something 10
do with the scarcity Of money here? A
very conservative estimate would place
the amount OF money spent by each Wis
ltor 90 the Fair ut SOS. This estimate
includes railroad fare and hotel bills.
Some spend much more, some less. BY
a simple mathematical calculation, IT Is
ascertained that the Columbian EXPOSE
ton has cost the city Of Wheeling $780,
500. This amount has been taken out
OF the regular channels Of trade and
spent elsewhere.
Almost everybody OF moderate means
wanted TO see the Fair. In most cases,
tho ready cash was not In possession Of
the prospective sight-seer. This caused
a practice Of economy, denial OF IN
necessary articles, or unnecessary
Measures, In order TO save up for the
trip 70 Chicago. ACd this sum tn
amount which Is withdr Wn froIl trade
in the territory tributary D Wheeling,
and the aggregate would reach q sum
which would possibly induce you to
give an affirmative reply TO the ques-
ton frequently asked: HAS the
Worlds Fair anything TO do with hard
times?"
