TIE RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS
For the Coming State Fair Are the Best
Ever Made.

For the Coming State Fair Are the Best
Ever Made.
Among the multitude of special ar
rangements that contribute to the
success of a modern fair and expo
sition, one of the most important is
that of securing proper rate conces-
sions on the railways. The officials
of the State Fair, have, this year, been
! SO fortunate as to reduce the cost of
|Aattending the fair from towns with
Alt the city to the minimum. Rates
OF one fare for the round trip have
been secured from all the roads COM
ing into Wheeling. Two companies,
the B. & o. and the Pan Handle, have
consented to attach admission cou-
pons to West Virginia State Fair ex-
cursicn tickets. Visitors will thus be
bothered by but one purchase. The
entire thing is arranged when the
ticket is purchased at the railway de-
pot
Another feature Of interest to out
of-town people who will attend the
Fair is the arrangements just COM
pleted for special trains to he run on
certain days during tie fair. The
Ohio River Railroad Company will
run special trains from Parkersburg,
and yesterday the B. & o. announced
that it would ran a special from
Washington, Pa, Son Wednesday or
Thursday of fair week. Besides this,
the same company has agreed to hold
its afternoon Central Ohio train from
$3.50, its, regular time, to about )
o'clock p. m. This will afford Onio
visitors every opportunity to witness
the finish of the races and other
amusements that occur late in the
afternoon on the track. All will be
given a chance to see the "guideless
wonders" and other special features
that have been secured.

certain instructions should be taken to
the Union commander of the United
States sloop Sabine, then in Pensacola
waters. Lieut.. Worden was the agent
selected to communicate with the Sa
bine and he successfully and ably ac-
complished his mission On his return
to Pensacola, however. he was arrested
by Gen. Bragg and was thus the first
prisoner in the War of the Rebellion.
After seven mouths confinement he
was exchanged and on Nov. 81, 1861,
lie reached New York. Very likely his
detention in prison was a good thing
for him, for he reached New York at a
time that gave him command Of the
ship with which his name will remain
connected as long as there are histories
of naval warfare. There was at that
time in course of construction over at
Greenpoint the most remarkable war
ship the world had ever seen. AL

Schmidt Changed Man,

Its Il curious thing" said the col
Onel, musingly, what changes a sud
den shock will cause in man. Now,
L remember Il case that came under
my personal observation, and 1 con-
slider it one of the most remarkable l
ever knew of. 1t happened during the
war. There was Il big German named
Schmidt in my company whose manner
of butchering up the English language
was something horrible. 1t required a
good deal of patience TO listen to
Schmidt when he attempted TO say any
thing, but he was Il good soldier. and in
those times that was what counted
beyond anything else.
We'll, Schmidt was wounded in the
battle OF Antietam by being struck on
the cheek by bullet. The ball had
spent most of its force. but. neverthe-
less, it went through his cheek and
caused Il wound serious enough to send
him to the hospital. l saw no more Of
Schmidt during the war and he passed
entirely from my mind.

war 1 happened to be in Peoria, ILL.,,

Big Shark Story.

The British tramp steamer Wilder
spool arrived here yesterday from
Java with fish story as big as some
of the immense waves which boarded
the vessel in the storms through which
she passed. While crossing the Gulf
Stream on the night of Oct. II, in a
strong northwest gale, the steamer took
a great deal Of water on her decks.
Capt. Japp remained on the bridge dur
ing the night, and he says that the seas
swept the sugar-laden tramp from stem
to stern. In lull in the big storm he
heard Tapping forward, and, think
ing a sail had got loose, sent man to
fasten 1t. The next thing heard was
a cry of astonishment from the sailor,
and every one hurried forward to see
what had happened. There upon the
deck lay shark, so the story runs,
which had been cast on board by the
waves. The crew dispatched him, and
when stretched out he measured eleven
feet.-New York Tribune.

Two Bad Habits.

Taking strong coffee to cure head
ache is like taking whisky to cure the
shakiness which is one of the effects Of
whisky. 1t seems to do it, but the re-
suit is deceptive. The cure becomes a
new cause and you are worse off than
before. Better stop coffee altogether
and use Grain-O, the new food-drink.
Whereas coffee is not a food at all, but
only a nerve-fooling toxic stimulant,
Grain-O is a preparation of pure grains,
palatable, nutritious and absolutely
harmless. 1t is thoroughly satisfying,
four times cheaper than coffee, accept
able to the most sensitive stomach and
free from the constituents which make
coffee damaging beverage Drinkers
of Grain-O are never kept awake Of
nights-not by that anyway. Ask youe
grocer for a 15c. or 25c. package.

THE HOSTETTER co. WINS AN
OTHER CASE.
Infringements on Their Bitters Not

Infringements ON Their B1tters NOT
Tolerated by United States Court.
The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York,
Judge Townsend presiding, handed down
an opinion Dec. %, 1897, granting in
junction and accounting, in the suit of
The Hostetter Company against Isaac
Sommers and Louis Joseph, for infringe
ment of its Trade Mark. The jurist
states, in bold and clear language, the
rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany. and the liability incurred by all
who would rob them, by fraud or mis-
representation, of the well-earned repu-
tation and profits of a business built up
by the efforts of half century. The
Judge says. in part:
1.-The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton against the appropriation of its trade
mark, by any and ali unfair and dishon-
orabie means, and court of equity has
pOwteta grant such protection when
ever fcto osatisfied that an attempt has
been ma0S by ingenious subterfuges, to
invade the rights of an owner of trade
mark. In the sharp contest be-
tween the ind idual manufacturer, who
strives to acquire and retain the fruits
of industry and honesty. and the field of
keen rivals, seeking to wrest from him
the prize of the public goodwill, the in
ventive ingenuity of the infringer has
conceived great variety of devices for
evading the established rules of fair deal
ing. Courts of equity finding that
their ultimate object and effect were to
enable and induce the retail seller of a
fraudulent imitation to palm it of on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine arti-
Gle, and thus to contribute to the in
fringement upon the rights of the orig
inal owner, have not hesitated to apply
the remedy"

As to "Puss in Boots"

No collection of fairy tales is COM
plete without "Puss in BOOts," and it is
interesting to know that it has amused
the children of a hundred generations.
The various versions Of the story differ
materially. however. 1t is believed
that the Zanzibar version is the orig
inal. There the man is ungrateful to
the clever cat, and is punished by
awaking to find his prosperity a dream.
In France, Italy. and India, the cat is
a swindIer, and the Marquis of Caraba
is his accomplice. In Russia and Sicily,
"Puss in Boots" is moral story. and
the cat helps the man from motives of
gratitude.

A STRANGE FARM.
1t II Located 100 Feet Below the Level
of IdahO's Plains.

H IL LOCatcu IUO r ect below the LeVci
of IdahO's Plains.
On Snake river in Southern Idaho,
twenty miles south Of the little town
of Shoshone and near the Great Sho-
shone falls, is located the strangest
farm in the world. 1t is nothing but
hole in the ground, 700 feet below
the surface, and embraces over 600
acres. But this "hole in the ground
has been transformed into a veritable
paradise.
For ages and ages this Devils cor
ral," as it was known by prospectOrs,
had been standing silent and I'M
known. No one had the temerity to
Chamber down the steep cliffs that sur
round it until few years ago when a
venturesome spirit, thinking that gold
might be found in the depths Of the
rock-walled basin, made the descent.
He located a mine and began to work
1t, but his progress is not worth re-
cording. Burt Perrine, a young man
from Indiana, seeking his fortune in
the West, went to see the Great ShO-
shone falls and also took view of this
satanic corral. The place impressed
him so favorably as a location for a
ranch, truck farm or fruit farm that he
bought the miners claim to the basin
and became owner of it.
Perrine made a survey Of the place
and found that there were 400 acres
that could be worked. In spite Of the
jeers of his friends he began the task
of transforming it into a productive
area. This was no easy job. By n
great deal of hard work he managed
to blaze out along the rocky descent, n
trail down which pack animals could
travel. To do the work necessary
down in the corral Perrine had to have
wagons, scrapers, harrows. plows,
powder and dynamite and these had to
be lowered with ropes over a perpen-
dicular lava wall about 700 feet in
height. There were also other things
that pack animals couldn't carry and
these had TO be let down in the same
manner. But the most difficult task of
all was the building Of road up the
700 feet of miscellaneous precipice.
The drover had some idea of survey
ing and with the assistance of great
deal of dynamite and powder succeed
ed in constructing winding roadway,
that goes in and out, back and forth,
between lofty cliffs in Its descent.
After infinite labor the bottom land
was cleared and the soil has proved to
be very productive. Among other
things growing on the farm are 5000
fruit trees. There are two beautiful
lakes near by and these have been
piped for irrigating purposes. In win
ter the weather is much warmer than
on the plains above.

ADMIRAL woRDEN. to Hampden Roads.
March 8, 1862, the Confederate ram
Merrimac had come down from Nor
folk and sunk two Union vessels, the
Congress and Cumberland. Worden
anchored alongside of the Minnesota,
then aground. Early on the morning
of March 0 the Merrimac reappeared
and prepared to attack the Minnesota.
When the ram was within mile of the
ship the Monitor steamed out. She was
received by a broadside, but all the
shots glanced off. The Monitor on the
contrary made every shot tell, although
firing deliberately at intervals Of seven
minutes. The duel continued over two
hours, when the Merrimac tried to ram
the Monitor. Worden avoided the blow
by maneuvering SO that it glanced off.
The Monitor had orders not to use
more than 15-pOund charges in her H.
inch guns, as the latter were considered
too weak for more. Her shot, there
fore, failed to pierce the heavy armor
of the Merrimac. At II 80 a. m. a shell
exploded on the pilot house of the Mon
itor while Worden was looking through
the slit. The powder and fame made
him blind and helpless. Lieut.. Greene,
the second in command, continued the
action, but the Merrimac soon with
drew to Norfolk. 1t was drawn bat
tie, but the Merrimac was prevented
frn hA -,,;z
capturing Washington, New York and
other cities, as had been expected.
Twice Congress voted Lieut.. Worden
votes of thanks, and he was promoted
to the rank of commander.
Recovering somewhat from the eff
fects of his injuries, Capt. Worden was
placed in charge of the construction
of ironcladS in New York harbor and re-
manned there until Oct. 8, 1862, when
he took command of the newly COM
pleted monitor Montauk and joined the
squadron operating on the coast of
South Carolina and Georgia. Here he
had the satisfaction of destroying Il IA

was lying in the Ogeechee river, and
she was protected by fort (McAllister)
and formidable line of torpedoes
across the river. Late in the afternoon
of Feb. 81, 1868, Capt. Worden saw
that the Nashville had steam up and
was in trouble. and after making q fur
ther examination, learned that she had
grounded in the mud about 200 yards
above the fort. An attack might have
been made that night. but Capt. Wor
