DAY AND NIGHT.
The Local Preserve Plants Are Working
Overtime


The local preserve works, Flaccus
& Co. and the McMechen & Sons Co.,
are very busy at present. 1t is the
height of the busy season, and the
factories are taking advantage of the
low market price of fruits and vege-
tables. The factories are both run
ming to their full capacity, night and
day. The Flaccus factory did not stop
last Sunday. The working forces in
both plants are much larger than
usual, and will be continued until the
close of the canning season.
The magnitude of the business done
by the preserve works would surprise
many people who are not familiar with
the matter Tho two factories, in adj
dition to furnishing employment to
hundreds of men and girls, provide a
market for as much fruit and vege-
tables as the farmers living in this
vicinity can supply. Both factories
have many orders for fall and winter
shipment, and trade is reported excel

Judge H. S. Grosscup, of Chicago. who
is an earnest expansionist. Judge
Grosscup said in part:
IL am among those who believe that
the people Of the United States can,
without breach of faith to the promises
of our past, or serious danger to the
expectations, hold permanently all.
or a portion Of the territory, that has
been occupied by our troops during
the
PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
| am ready to go step further, and
assert that the obligations of our duty
toward mankind, and especially to-
ward the particular people who have
been drawn within the sphere of our
operations, and toward the future use
fitness of ourselves, demand we should
hold permanently as much of these,
the captures of the war; as are needed
to round out the moral purposes for
which it was inaugurated, and the
greater destiny upon which, as a ma
ton, we are about 10 enter.
81 challenge, at the outset, the state
ment SO literally INDUCED in by our
opponents, that in taking this stand
the American people are moved by emo
tionalism, or are deceived by generall-
ties. There is a moral elevation in
wide outlook. AS a people we for the
first time look clearly over the empires
of the earth. Without the sacrifice OF
righteousness or honor, but as the min
listers of both, the invitation comes to
take our share in the opportunities
and responsibilities of this wider field.
The immediate question, the one that
by its solution will elther bring us III
or bar us out of this larger national
sphere relates to the permanent occu-
patton of our Spanish conquests.
within Asia lies the interest and
the opportunity that, by its largeness,
dwarfs every other prospect. l favor
the acquisition of Porto Rico partly
because the moral purpose of this war
demands that it should no longer be
a political plague spot IN the other
wise purified Caribbean sea. - sea
that, when the commerce of Asia is
fully developed and the Nicaraguan
canal opened, will, from both naval
and commercial view, become the
most important water on the face Of
the globe.
II favored the
ACQUISITION OF HAWAII,
and favor the acquisition of the Phil
ippines, or so much of them as may
be needed, solely because in the new
career Of commercial activity upon
which l trust we are about to enter,
we need, clear across the Pacific, a
line Of naval stations and home ports
stations in every sense our own.
Before us in the east are opening
gates that will in few years reveal
a market transcending in value our
own, and transcending our own imme-
diately in its potentialities for the fu-
ture. The full magnitude of this open
ing era has not yet dawned upon the
world. The far-seeing statesmen of
Europe see it; far-seelng America will
soon compass it. Looked at from
every side-its certainty, its immedi
ate proportions, its Unreasonable po-
tentialities for growth-it reveals it
self as a world event commercially
more important than the discovery of
America an event in many respects
without a parallel in the history CT

FIGHT NEXT WEDN E S D A Y
NIGHT-OTHER MATTERS PER-
TANNING TO THE BOXERS.

Those who are watching Jimmy Fogar-
ty in his training for the bout with Leslie
Pearce on September Sth, regard the
chances of the Texas man for securing
the decision very bright. He goes
about his training in a business-like
manner, and appears to relish it. He is
chock full of confidence, and in two days
could weigh in at the weight called for
in the articles of agreement. There is
no question about his courage, and there
is no danger of his getting sick" on the
day of the contest. He is very careful
and conscientious in his training. The
confidence of his friends Is also based on
his boxing, i'm which he shows a great
deal of science. He is wonderful punch
er, and if he can land in his rushes. the
blows will count Leslie Pearce goes
quietly about his training at the Beabout
Athletic club, and will be in prime condi-
ton when he steps into the ring on the
night of the Sth.
All the Wheeling friends of Oscar Gard
ner agree that the Omaha Kid was
given a rough deal in Toledo One man
stated that the treatment was worse than
pictured in the Register yesterday morn
ing. The Toledo papers state that Nc
Mahon crawled into the ring and an
nounced his Willingness to go on, and
that Gardner did not want to go on, on
account of the danger of a repetition of
his unfortunate affair in Columbus.
Wheeling people who know Gardner do
not need to be assured that this is all tom
my-rot. Wheeling people did not hear
Mcmahon say he was willing to go on. 1t
is a significant fact that the Toledo pa
pers published statement from a physi-
clan tho next evening to the effect that
Mcmahon was in perfect condition." the
next day. Then why did not the fight
take place on the following night? A tel
egram was received here Wednesday stat
ing that the two men will meet next We'd
nesday night.

the beliigerents for contempt unless
they kept still. 1t vas the case In

Perry was accused of stealing q ape
