TURN OUT. BUSINESS MEN.

There should be a large repLn enta-
ton OF the business interests of Wheel
ing at the session of the Chamber of
Commerce, called for tonight, priMar-
lily to discuss the Merchants Day prop
osition in connection with the State
Fair, and secondly, TO take such action
as shall secure TO local manufacturers
of stOgies the full benefit and protec-
ton of the recent decision of the Fed
eral Court in Boston. Other matters will
probably come up for discussion and
action, but these two are of vital i'm
portance, and should receive adequate
attention.
The Merchants Day idea in connec-
ton with the closing day of the nine
tenth Fair has much to commend it,
and little if anything TO be urged
against it. AS an experiment simply, it
is well worthy OF fair trial. and this
given, its commendable and valuable
features will be demonstrated beyond
doubt. In this matter there is no set
programme outlined or prepared in adj
vance. The field will be open tonight
for suggestion as well as discussion and
action, and it only needs unity OF pur-
pose to produce results of benefit to
the city as a whole.
The Importance of the stogie propo-
sition need not be here dwell upon. 1t
is one of the leading industries OF
Wheeling, and one which has given the
city reputation throughout the cont
try second only to that acquired through
the manufacture of nails decade ago.

ployed and the immense output alike
demand serious attention It the hands

USELESS ADVERTISING.


The monthly magazine ap ears to
have struck serious snag in the chan
mel of its progress The trouble seems
to be these publications are becoming
too grasping in the matter of advertis-
ing. Purchasers are declining to carry
around a pound of advertising for the
sake of few leaves of reading matter
and the consequence is that many cut
out the advertising pages, which COLI
stitute about three-fourths of the bulk
of the average monthly magazine, and
throw it away without looking at it.
This spoils the magazine as volume
and in the end results in the loss Of
both readers and advertisers.
The trouble is the magazines, which
charge enormous rates for advertising,
have overreached themselves, having
largely diverted their publications from
their original purpose.
The daily newspaper is the proper
and most profitable advertising medi-
UNI. None of its pages, as a rule. can
be thrown away

MOLE TREASON!

Lor'gOr a mighty. Where are all the
treason editors? Here's another trail
tor caught redhanded and in the uni
form of the United States Army. too!
He is Major George Webster, of the
Fourth u S. Regular Infantry, who has
seen some terrible service in the Phil
ippines and has just returned, utterly
broken in health and almost totally
blind, to his old quarters at Fort Sher-
idan at Chicago Speaking of the sit
uation in the Philippines he said:
Gen. Lawton says 100000 more troops
are necessary. l have my opinion of the
situation. but it would not do at this time
for me to make statements which would
be criticised all over the country. The
Filipinos are brave people,
Here's treason for you! Think Of it
he calls the Filipinos 'brave people!"
That's rank treason. He goes on:
"They have plenty of men, but few guns.
In their sets of tours there are often but
one or two men armed with Mausers The
others make what they evidently consider
such as boys play with. However, when
a Filipino is killed his gun is Immediately
taken by another, and the imitation piece
is cast aside. l have seen hundreds of
these wooden guns in the field.
The Philippines are no place for a white
man. The sun is scorchihg. l have seen
an average of sixty men day drop out
of the ranks suffering from the heat The
Filipinos are a gentle race of people. They
look like mere boys, so frail and delicate.
Much of the country around Manila is de-
vastated by fire.
Verify, something will have to be
done pretty soon to stop this sort of
thing. What can Mr. Mckinley hope
streets war of conquest with an
army composed Of traitors?

TRULY PECKsNIrFIAN.

In referring to a recent article in the
Register appropos to the rumored con-
templated retirement of Hon. Henry
G. Davis and Senator Elkins from ac-
tive business, our frank and honest
neighbor of Fourteenth street says:
We note a special dispatch from Fair
mont in Sundays Register which refers
directly to this phase of the work of COM
ing development of the wealth of coal. be-
tween Fairmont and MorSantoWn, owned
by ex-senator Davis and senator Elklns.
which cOntradicts the editorial assertion
quoted above of the day previous, that
they are looking for an opportunity to
dispose of their coal interests and retire
from active business.
In what issue of the Register did
Old Honesty find the editorial asser-
ton that Messrs. Davis and Elkins
were looking for an opportunity to.
tire from active busness?" The Regis
ter said:
cit is whispered that Hon. Henry G.
Davis and Senator Elkins are only waiting
a favorable opportunity to dispose of their
great coal interests in this State and retire
from active business.
1t has not only been rumored in this
State, but in the press of the country
generally that such was the case. That
our contemporary did not know this is
not surprising, for it seldom knows
anything, rumored or positive, con-
corning West Virginia affairs, until it
sees it in the columns of the Register.
The Register referred to. the rumor
mentioned merely as a rumor without
giving it credence, as our neighbor and
the large percentage of his readers who
read the Register for the news, well
know.
If our contemporary would undergo
an operation for moral strabismus and
try course of treatment involving as
ISOLATION with the truth-in homeo-
pathic doses at first, so that the shock
might not be too great-he would prob
ably find much relief.

AS Republican politics in the Six
teenth Ohio district seems to have de-
generated until the nominating conven-
tons have resolved themselves into
mere perfunctory gatherings to ratify
the sale of the nomination to the high
est bidder, we surmise that Mr.. Hels-
leys offer will stand no show in the
presence of the liberal cash offers
made by weather. aspirants, which are
far more attractive to the average
Ohio politician.
From the peoples point of view.
however, Mr.. Helsley's offer is the best
bid yet presented. And the plain peO-
pie of the district after all have some
thing to say in the matter. Indeed, it
is quite likely that, disguised with this
plutocratic barter and sale of nonln-
ations whereby only the wealthy may
represent the people in high office, they
may turn around and elect an honest
Democrat, who will not purchase the
seat as fad or as a desirable adjunct
to his social establishment, but will de-
pend solely upon the unpurchased suf-
frages of his fellow citizens whom he
will pledge himself to honestly repre-
sent in the national legislature.

Is the Case OF William Il. Wheeler,
who Died at Parketsburg From In
juries Iuflc;ed " it'll a Sharp In
Strument.

special 10 the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, August T.
William H. Wheeler the man who
was found unconscious at the Gardway
boarding house. on Avery street, yes
terday morning by Mrs Gardway, and
who never regained consciousness, died
this morning at $50 at ST Lukes hos
pital from the effects of the injury re-
ceived by being struck on the head by
some sharp instrument, which pene-
trated the brain and made an ugly and
fatal wound.
Besides, the injury on the head.
Wheeler's arm was badly bruised. his
ear was split and he lad large cash
over his right eye.
Various reports we've in circulation
before the coroner held an inquest, one
TO the effect that the dead man had
received his injuries by being struck by
the roof of a tunnel While stealing a
ride on a freight between his city
and Grafton; also that during a quarrel
in the lower end of the city. which is
frequented by characters of shady rep
utatiOn, he had been struck III the head
and robbed, as he was known to have
had considerable money Saturday and
only a small amount was found upon
his person when taken to the hospital.
The police were unable to obtain the
least clue as to how the man received
his wounds, and have been busy all day
on the case. He has a wife, who left
some time ago for her home al Ports
mouth, Ohio. and with her ittles
daughter also resides. Wheeler has
been drinking heavily ever since, and
the fact that after the injuries had
been inflicted he was placed in his room
and none Of the inmates OF the house
were aware thai he had been brought
home or how he got there, until found
by Mrs Gardway, deepens the mystery.
AT the undertaking establishment of
Dare & Carney, Drs Sharp and Stout
conducted a post mOrtem this morn ne.
Wheeler's scalp was removed and mis-
skull was found to be crushed in
horrible manner. a triangular shaped
incision having been made Oh the top
of his head just above the right eye as
if by a sharp weapon Of some kind.
After the physicians had completed
their work, the coroneT's Ju~y ompan-
eled by Coroner keever, net in justice

evidence was taken. Numerous wit

erred Drs Campbeli and CASTOR to
dress Wheelers wounds, is missing.
the last seen of him being when he
called on Ciate McLane and told him
he believed he was going to get into
trouble as Wheeler was badly cut, and
requested that ne attend 10 him. The
only evidence produced at the coroner's
jury as to how he met death was by
the physicians who attended him VITO
said Taylor told them Wheeler was
struck by a tunnel. ten miles east of
this city.
Wheeler was about tbirty-five years
of age, small in stature and had only
resided here about one wear coming
to this city from Portsmouth. Ohio.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN the FIELD

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN TIE FIELD.
The auction OF the Republican nom
ination in the Sixteenth Ohio district
for the seat of the late Congressman
Danford, is still in progress. There
have been several bids on it by men of
means, who evidently have a desire TO
enjoy the luxury of seat in Congress,
and some of these bids are in fancy
figures. Now the Register is in re-
ceipt of circular from Mr. NJ f. Hels-
ley, who, we know, is not rich because
he says he is a newspaper man, offer
ing the following terms to the voters of
the district:
LIST, The salary of Congressman is
5000 per year.
I'd. If nominated and elected | will only
take $500 per year to pay my expenses for
board, clothing and other incidentais
Sd. The rest OF my salary, which would
be I.500 per year, would be devoted to the
establishment and building in each county
of the district home for the aged and
friendless women: also for the orphans
and widows OF all classes, or a female
seminary. These buildings to be erected
