A well known business man, whose
modesty induces him to forbid the use
OF his name, has suggested the organi-
cation Of Merchants & Manufacture
ers' Association, the sole object Of
which is to be the instrument Of the
business forces in booming the city Of
wheeling, on every possible occasion,
in season or out OF 1t, II there is such a
time. The gentleman outlines the OBJ
jects OF the association as follows:
First-To induce the railroad COM
panies to grant cheap passenger rates
to Wheeling on whatever propItious
occasions may arise during the year.
sesond-To induce societies, grand
lodges and all other organizations to
come to Wheeling with their conven-
lions or annual MEETINGS.
Thlrd-To give annually Merchants
and Manufacturers Day or days, with
free out-of-door entertainments.
Fourth-The expenses Of the assocIa-
ton to be borne by all the wholesale
and retail merchants and manufacture
era. hotels, restaurants, saloons. etc.;
each to make an annual contribution;
merchants and manufacturers who are
members OF the association to make 1t
a rule to refuse contributions direct for
any proposed convention or other func-
ton, but on the other hand to refer such
applicants to the officers Of the assoc
citation who would look into the matter
carefully and grant an appropriation
which in their Judgment the function
was deserving of.
Such an association would relieve the
business men of much annoyance, and
would result in nothing but deserving
enterprises being encouraged. In adj
dition, every merchant, who now makes
his own contributions Independently,
would 10 doubt save considerable sum
annually as well as all tine annoyance
he now suffers. II all the business peo-
pie Join the association. the cost to each
would not be onerous, and without
doubt united action such as the ASSOC
cIltIon could WELD, would attract to
Wheeling more conventions and other
meetings than have been brought here
IN the past. And, as every merchant
knows. such gatherings mean the dis
trIbution here of large sums Of money.
Said the business man:
+ II would suggest Fred Schwertfeger,
who, So ably managed the last Mer-
chants Day. as the right man to call a
meeting and start the ball rolling. for
row is the time to get good start for
next year know when the merchants
understand the plan they will all join,
and more people Will visit our city at
less expense to the business men and
the citizens generally. They can also
take up the matter OF getting dlverst-
ned Industries to settle here by show
ing them the advantage of our city as
a manufacturing centre"

BEET SUGAR IN sANPETE.

Mt Pleasant. July H.-Bishop C. A.
Madser and C. A. Short, president and
secretary. respectively of the Sanpete &
SEWER Sugar company. were up from
Gunnison the fore part of the week look
ing into the progress of the experimental
beet raising going on this summer. They
are more than pleased with the outlook.
as the beets all over this and Sewer
county are in an exceedingly healthy
condition and give every Indication of a
good crop. The gentlemen are confident
that the adaptability of the soil and
climate of this portion of the state for
sugar beet raising has already been
proven beyond a doubt.
They are very sanguine as to Gunni-
sons future. They are positive now that
she will get the sugar factory. and that,
with her thousands of acres of hay and
pasture land. and with canals and reser-
voirs sufficient to cover the entire coun-
try with irrigating water leaves no doubt
of her ultimate progress.
They say that they have been assured
by the Sanpete Valley Railway company
that in the event of the sugar factory
becoming a certainty. that road will GER
tainly extend from its present terminus
at Sterling across the valley to Gunnison
and the factory site.
The Rio Grande Western has also 1t

BOY PASSED A BAD BANK NOTE
VERNON WYNN JAILED FOR
CoUNTERFEITING.
Merchant Gave Him a Bad Bill, But
Told Him Not to Use It-His
Mother Frantic.

Vernon B. Winn, 10 years old, living
with his mother at 312 Eighth street,
was taken into custody by Officer Fitz-
maurice at the Rio Grande Western
depot yesterday for passing a counter
felt S. bill at the ticket office. The boy
purchased two tickets TO Saltair on the
Ais train for himself and companion,
rendering Leo Mark the bill in pay
ment and receiving $3.50 in change.
The agent, scrutinizing it closely, dis
covered it was stamped counterfeit"
in several places, the letters, however,
being almost obscure. He called the
officer, who took Winn from the train.
At the police station, the boy said he
had been given the bill by William
Lloyd, who runs a grocery store on
Second and D streets. This proved par
TALLY true. Mr.. Lloyd says the boy,
with whom he is well acquainted. came
into the store yesterday afternoon TO
borrow dollar to go to Saltair with
the Eighteenth ward excursion. The
merchant opened his drawer, gave
Winn the silver, and noticing the S.
bill, which had been passed on him
three months ago, tossed it out and
said: Here's bad one you can have"
He did it jocularly, and called after
Winn, who ran out of the door, not to
was called across the street, where he
is building house, and upon returning
was surprised to learn the boy had
gone. He did not suppose he would
make use of it.
Mrs. Barton of the Eighteenth ward
saw the arrest and interested herself
in young Winn's behalf, visiting him in
Jail and informing his mother who
was nearly frantic over the affair.
Winn was cared for at the Jail last
night and will today be taken before
the United States court. 1t is believed
he acted innocently, and it is thought
no further punishment will be inflicted.
The bill has evidently been in circula-
ton for a long time. 1t purports to be
a note issued by the National bank of
Bedford, Mass, numbered 'P-42610-
D." and stamped 1885 and 799, the last
number being so low that it would nat
urally attract attention beside the
usual five or six figure stamps The
counterfeit, nevertheless, is very clev-
erly executed.

FURIOUS ENCOUNTER
OF ICEMAN AND PUP.

Jimmy Rae, the Valley House bar
tender, has a dog-a2 two-pound, all
wool TERROR pup, with the regulation
twenty-four teeth. noted for his love
of festivity. 1t falls to the lot of Fred
Kelsey to deliver the ice at RAGS place
of abode, 152 North First West, every
morning. Now, Kelsey is not of
quarrelsome nature. Neither is "Toodle
inns" the caption in which Rae's pup
reyels. But as the iceman wound wear
lily around to the kitchen door yester-
day with ice in tow, Toodle inns wink
ed at the family rooster. The latter
signified his acquiescence in startling
tones. One crow, and Kelsey shouted:
'1cei" with momentum increasing
every instant, Toodle inns sprang from
the household wash boiler and dashed
around the corner. missing his mark
by eighteen feet, but returning swiftly
to the terrible onslaught. The rooster
closed his eyes in anticipation of the
horror about to be wrought. The neigh
boris cow sought shelter behind the
buggy shed, and even the clothes line
walked Kelsey, undismayed As
Toodle INNS buried his teeth in a shoe
lace, the ice fell with a dull thud upon
his tail, and, with a maddened yelp,
he ran to the side screen door. Twas
then the master appeared, and, with
words that felled green apples from
the trees, pounced down upon the ice
man. What followed none save Toodse
inns can say. His master will tell why

'Timmony's court today.
