ARBITRATION SUGGESTED.
Wheeling, w. Va, April Is, 1899.

wheeling, w. Va, April 10, 1899.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:--A word to the City Council
about the granting of franchises to
projected street railway lines or 9TH
ers seeking public franchises on our
streets.
Would it not be well for every grant
for such purposes to have, as an IRON
clad condition, that in the event OF
troubles or differences with their en-
ployes, the company enjoying the priv
ileges from the city, must submit to
an arbitration of the questions in
volved before a committee of arbitra-
ton consisting of five members, one
chosen by the company, one by the
employees, and the other three by the
City Council? Such arbitration could
be enforced by suitable provisions in
the granting ordinance, and it would
prevent such injuries in future to the
business of this city as is now being
inflicted by the present street car
strike. FAIR PLAY.

0, YE, OF LITTLE FAITH.

But when an honest man sixty-five
years of age and who has lived in our
city for thirty years, and owns his own
property speaks, we must give ear to his
words and have faith in what he recon-
mends For that reason we publish the
statement of A H. West, 211 North street,
Saginaw, Mich, for the benefit of Wheel
ing people, as follows: II have suffered
much from kidney trouble for the past
five years. My back was very lame; was
quite nervous at times and my general
health was seriously impaired Some
time ago | was induced to try Morrow S
Kid-ne-oids of which had heard a great
deal, and I procured the remedy. l had
not much faith in it as l had previously
tried large number of kidney pills and
kidney remedies without any particular
benefit, but / want TO say that l got
simply wonderful relief in Two days after
commencing the use of kid-ne-oids, and
that am now entirely cured
Il regard my case as severe test of the
medicine, as so. many others had failed to
help me. Ny advice to kidney sufferers
is TO give MORROW'S KID-NE-OIDS a
thorough trial. and find relief as I did"
Mr.. West had no faith at first but the
assurance of his friends induced him to
try once more. The result is given above.
Let Mr.. West be your friend and if you
suffer with backache, sleeplessness. ner-
vousness. etc, take his advice and use
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and get cured Mr..
West is a grateful man and will be glad
TO write to you personally how much he
was benefited by the use of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oidsif you will enclose a stamp for
reply. Do not confound Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS with any kind of kidney pills: they
are not pills at all, but Yellow Tablets
which are put up in wooden boxes and sell
at SO cents. MUrrow's Liverlax are Sma II
red pellets and cure constipation. they
sell at Is cents box Both of these REM
edies are for sale at Chas. r. Goetze's

Wheeling, w. Va, April Is, 1899.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-If the present City Council can

a thought to the needs of the citizens
and to the remedy of evils we suffer.
would direct their attention to the
suppression of an exAsperating annoy
ance we are subject to.
The season for the unsavory, but
necessary work, of the night-soiler is
upon us. The men engaged in this oc-
cupation have in the past been accus-
toned to traverse the resident portion
of the city at comparatively early
hours in the evening, with their am
munition wagons bound for the munich
pal fortress on Wheeling hill, spread
ing disgusting smells and presenting
unpleasant sights. The time chosen,
as rule, is early in the evening, when
the ladies and other members of the
families of city residents are upon the
streets or ON the door steps. This bus
mess is necessity, but it is not at all
necessary that it hould be conducted
at a time that it's disgusting effects
must be made an offense to the people
at large, not engaged in the employ
ment.
Permit suggestion that the City
Council should adopt an ordinance pre-
venting the hauling of night soil
through the streets of this city before
midnight, and by a suitable fine en-
force such ordinance. The nuisance
mentioned can easily be abated; it
should be.
'Tis said distinguished general once
remarked, when the xity he was defend
ing was assailed with bombs filled with
disgusting smelling chemicals, that ut
was bad enough to be shot, but to be
stunk to death was awful" Such is

The city papers for weeks past have
quoted the rapid advance in the prices
OF stocks and bonds as an indication OF

ness. This proposition is utterly fall
lacious, and simply indicates the move

Chicago Correupondsncs;
General business conditions continue to
improve. Money has worked somewhat
lower, but the market II still far from
easy. The call rate has been held close
to @ per cent during the greater portion
of the time In New York, and time money
has been AZ about the same level. But
up to the present time 1t Ii only the specu-
lative element whose peace OF mind has
been disturbed by the furry in money
rates. Should money remain tight for
any length OF time legitimate business In
terests would undoubtedly be made to
suffer to. some extent, but the best hnan-
cial opinion Is that there Is no danger Of
that Whatever stringency exists now 70
thought to be due largely to demands for
funds for crop-moving purposes, and also
in a measure to over-trading by some
large stock exchange operators.
The money situation promises to right
itself in the next few. weeks. Rates are
not likely to return to the abnormally low
level prevailing a few months ago, but
neither Is there any danger that they will
remain ut point which will prove bur-
densome to commercial borrowers.
Trading in grain was dull and sluggish
the first half Of the week. during which
time there seemed to be little to encour-
age buyers. The heavy increase of wheat
in the visible supply that was announced
Monday appeared at the time to approve
the course Of those who had been specu-
lating for a decline in the price Of that
commodity. The previous stock in COM
mercal hands had been considered OPP
pressively heavy and the large addition
referred to, with a still further increase
expected as the result Of free receipts
this week, was thought to be incompati-
BILE with rise in price. Reasoning from
such promises proved deceptive, as 1t took
no account of the possible accidents that
might arise from the too great eagerness
Of sellers to press that condition to their
immediate advantage, while holders OF
wheat had not yet become convinced OF
its permanency.
Short selling of wheat which does not
dislodge the holdings of previous purchas-
ers never proves effective in permanently
disturbing values. because Of the absolute
necessity the short seller is under Of be-
coming sooner or later a purchaser. This
theory was proved correct when prom
inent Chicago firm that had been conspic-
nous as short seller undertook to buy
back what it had sold. 1t found few
willing to part with wheat as low as 1t
had done. The failure of that firm in
consequence and forced purchases in the
market for its account was the principal
incident Of the week, causing an advance
that closed wheat at an appreciation Of 2
cents a bushel compared with its value a
week before.

THE CRUISER OLYMPIA, ADMIRAL DEwEY's FLAGSHIP
committee had asked the admiral {,
l.

committee had asked the admiral to
reach New York by Thursday, Sept. 2S.
He replied that he would be there by that
time, and the people, knowing he would
keep his word, expected that he would
hover off the coast and then come in and
drop anchor at the stated time. His ar
rival, therefore, was a shock. But the
people got over ii quickly and went to
work with renewed vigor to prepare for
the reception to the nations hero.
1t was eleven minutes to 6 Tuesday
morning when the sleepy marine observ-
ers at Sandy Hook saw a trim-looking
American man-of-war looming up in the
mist off the lghtship. seven miles off
shore. They keep tab on all of Uncle
Sans ships and knew that no cruiser
was due at New York that day. Mean
time the ship drew nearer, and soon her
signals, denoting that she was the Olym-
pia, were discerible. The news was quick
ly flashed to the city and then transmit
ted all over the country. BY Z o'clock
the famous sea fighter had drawn close to
shore and few minutes later she crossed
the bar She proceeded about a mile and
half up the bay, inside the Hook.
Wednesday morning Admiral Dewey
and his men were early astir on the
Olympia. At an early hour a number Of
tugs and chartered boats filled with pat
riotic Americans lowered about the
Olympia ready to cheer and wave Tags
Of the slightest provocation.
1t was o O'clock when the Olympia's
anchor was stripped, and FIVE minutes
later the graceful warship was under
way. Her progress up the bay was one
continuous ovation. Whistles were
blown and flags dipped by passing craft
as the Olympia moved up the bay and
through the narrows. To the shores of
Staten Island and Long Island people
focked in hundreds to get view of the
Olympia, and, IL possible, feeting
glimpse of her commander.
When the Olympia took her station at
the head of the feet at Tompkinsville
bedlam broke loose. The entire fleet fired
an admiral's salute of seventeen guns,
and for twenty minutes the air was filed
with smoke and thunder. The jackies on
.he ships Of Sampson, which had annihi-
lated Cerveras squadron at Santiago,
crowded to the rails, and for some min
utes cheered the sailors of the Olympia,
who had helped to sink Montcjo's fleet in
Manila bay. The Olympia tars respond
ed in kind. 1t was the greeting OF the
navy to the navy.
