next Monday afternoon and evening.
L. NJ. Hall, the PaEanini OF the banjo,
Is with the show and gives banjo reel
tai at every performance. together with
a history OF the banjo illustrated on the
instrument itself. John Queen, who Is
one OF the great national favorites, gives
n characteristic entertainment. The

How VRIoFouSly They Have Defended the
Nation In Times of Great Peril.
America has so seldom been engaged
in strlfe-seventeen times in n century
and a half-that our people have small
military experience, and the MASSES
have indistInct conceptions OF the hard
ships and conduct OF war. Against this,
however, must be credited extruoFdl-
nary sagacity, indomitable courage, IN
tense patriotism and the no less impor-
tant fact that Americans are the most
expart shots, whether with large or
small arms, in the world Whatever may
be said of the nations unprepSTedness
for war, there Is no lack OF proof tat In
all our bloody contentious with other
powers we have been triumphant, not
withdrawing more than once we have
carried our battle standards to foreign
shores. Though never possessing q
large army, the United States has main
tained her prestige upon the sea through
the superiority Of her seaWe1, whose
skill as gunners, heroism and tenqclty
have received the praise OF the whole
world. Our armies have won renown as
great on n hundred sanSuine fields, ana
have wrested victories by desperate
fighting from foes who had counted
upon superior numbers to crush out our
valiant defenders. The most terrific
battles that were ever fought took place
between the south and the north, be-
cause the contestants on both sides were
Americans, who knew the art OF fighting
better than that of retreatiRg., whose
bravery Is like q rock against which the
widest pillows are dashed In pieces All
honor and glory and praise TO our army
and navy, flrst in victory, last In de-
feat.
It is important to know that the
greatest battles fought on American soil,
and on the sea by American ships. hive
been represented by famous painters,
who have preserved. with historic ildel-
lily, and executed with astonishing real
ism, the tragic details OF each engage
ment. for the benefit and inspiration Of
the present and succeeding generations.
These noted paintings have been gem
orally purchased by the government and
states 10 adorn the galleries and capl-
tolls OF our country, though the cost has
aggregated millions OF dollars. 1t was a
patriotic and magnificent conception
that prompted n Photographic reproduc-
tIon OF these great historic paintings,
which has Just been accomplished Mt an
immense outlay OF time and capital, and
the pictures are now being published In
q sumptuous portfolio entitled our
Nation in War" n work that is being
issued in weekly parts OF sixteen pages
each, l1xl3is inches in size, n distribu-
ton of which Is being made by the In
telligencer upon terms described in an
advertisement which will be found else
where In this paper. The series Will
comprise views not only Of the great

The officials OF the West Virginia
State Fair Association have never be-

satisfactory railroad Accommodations as
visitors will enjoy during the coming

companies, the Baltimore & Ohio and
the Pennsylvania are going even
shade better. On fair excursion tickets
they will afflx coupon which shall en-
title the bearer to admission into the

tween the fair officials and the Balti-
more & Ohio the train which leaves
Wheeling at $3.50 p. m. for the Ohio d.
vision, will be held one or two days I'M
til 5 O'Clock or later. This will permit
the eastern Ohio visitors to remain on
the grounds a much greater length OF
time than usual. They will thus have
an opportunity to witness the entire

Many other railway arrangements
have Just been completed by which
people within a radius of one hundred

This month Of August has developed
some very peculiar weather conditions
and bids fair to enter upon the home
stretch OF its existance by giving to the
upper Ohio river the highest stage Of
water that has been known In many
years In August. Usually August Is the
month of the lowest OF low water, q
month when steamboats, receive their
annual patching up on dry docks and
when crews take their annual holiday
lay-off. This month, however has been
ono OF good boating water throughout,
as well as q month OF more rain than
usually fails In two GUNNER months.
Already the rain fall aggregates more
than i've inches, and 1t Is likely al rec
ords for summer rain fall Wdll be broken
before the month ends.
Already there have been two coal
boating rises this month, and now
comes 'the latest, best, greatest and
grandest," in the supeEative OF the
circus and minstrel show. AT p. m,
yesterday the river wds rising rapidly,
with 0 feet 6 Inches in the channel. At
midnight the stage was II feet2 inches
and stu coming up the marks at a rapid
rate. II was estimated last night that
about twenty-five feet Of water would
be had here on the maximum OF the rise.
OF course, twenty-five feet Will not hurt
anybody, but It Is remarkable that such
high wrter is in evidence in midsummer.
The rise is coming strong out OF both
the Allegheny and Monongaheia rivers
With strong contributions from the
Beaver and other streams on the Ohio:
Here. Woods run and the north fork OF
Wheeling creek put out heavily yester-
day morning. Woods run went over Its
banks in the morning for the third time
within the week. but there was no dam
age to property. The smaA streams on
the Ohio side OF the river were oaso very
much In evideucet yesterday.

MADE SHOES.

You may wonder why we talk
about and advertise this line of
Ladies' Fine Shoes. We will tell
you why. More than twenty-five
years experience selling shoes,
all Of which we have devoted to
securing the best shoes made,
has convinced US that clnncin- :
natl made shoes for Ladies are
far superior to any line made in
this country. We might almost
say they possess an Individuality
which makes them peculiarly
adapted to this section. They
have style, are unequaled for
wear, and 1T perfectly. a com
bination that insures the buyer
perfect satisfaction.
When we talk about Ladies'
Cincinnati Made Shoes we mean
the best shoes made for the
