Obtained Candy by False Pretenses

John Sideman, lad Of 16 years. living
at 66 Rausch street, is locked UP in the
City Prison on the complaint of F. E..
Lake, a confectioner at 1S7 Powell street.
The Sideman ocy has during the past few
months depleted the candy stores about
the city by presenting bogus orders for
candy and chewing gum, which he dis
posed of at reduced prices to small stores
and street customers Yesterday he en-
tered the store of Lake and obtained a
supply on an order from some person sup
posed to have a store in the Mission.
Lake questioned the lads honesty as he
had heard of his methods. He followed
him to Market street, where he notified
Officer A. ]. Noting of his suspicious and

charge of obtaining goods by false pre-
lenses

A JAM OF HUMANITY
WAS AT MOZART PARK,

In rue.t Crowd In the History Of the
Rcsort-ruIIy a Thousand Turned
Back-The Daylight and Night
Fireworks.
Never in the history Of Mozart Park
has there been such a jam as last night.
The employees did all they could to han
die the immense crowd, but their re-
sources were inadequate, and fully a
thousand persons turned back last night
after a tiresome delay. realizing that
they could not be transferred to the
grounds in time for the fireworks dis
play.
The lam was caused by the rain.
When the storm came up the crowds
were coming in large numbers, but the
threatening weather kept the afternoon
attendance down to a little over 1000.
Many who had intended taking part in
the public meeting. decided on account
of the storm to postpone their visit un-
til after supper.
An the Wheeling Traction cars were
literally crowded late in the afternoon
and early in the evening. The crowd
from six until nine O'Clock was SO large
that some almost fought their way to
the incline cars. There va . stream Of
humanity from Jacob street TO the foot
of the incline. In the incline station the
heat was so intense that some gave up
good positions In the crowd IN order to
get into the open air. Scores who
waited for from half an hour to two
hours, and then could not get . car.
had their money chserfully refunded at
the ticket ONCE. It "a after $50
o'clock before the crowd thinned out.
and many went b the top Of the hill
after that hour.
There was another jam at the top of
the incline. Many viewed the increas-
ing crowds with alarm. and took the
precaution 70 20 down the incline before
the fireworks display was ovsE. There

was a consequent Jam at both incline
stations. and in the crush doors and
windows were broken in both, and a
number of ome tainted. There was
no Intentional disorder. but simply an
eagerness to get In the frst cars. 1t
was finally found necessary to station
two officers at the top of the incline.
Down-bound passengers who were I'M
able to get out OF the cars, crawled
through the windows Into an adjoining
yard-men, women and children. Col
lars and cuffs, stnrched shirt waists and
shirts were wuted, and some people in
the crowd presented sorry sights on
their way home. No blame attaches to
the park management. II was simply
unfortunate that the crowd came at the
same time. II the same number had
been properly distributed during the
afternoon and evening. no trouble
would have been experienced In carry
ing the passengers to and from The
park. Most patrons accepted the inev-
liable with good grace, but as a matter
of course there were Others who were
disposed to be critical.
The Japanese daylight fireworks dis
play In the AFTERNOON was very cred
table. 1t was a novelty, and was a yer,
pleasing feawture. The bombs were
shot from large mortars. exploding in
mid-air, and releasing tissue paper fg-
ures which noated about and slowly de-
scendod to the earth.
The night display attracted an i'm
mense crowd and was very handsome.
The programme Of pieces as heretofore
published in the Register. was carried
out under the direction OF a representa-
tive of the manufacturers. Some of the
displays were warmly applauded.
1t was long after midnight when the
last trip of the incline cars war made,
and the Wheeling Traction Company
run cars much later than usual.

The one hundred and t~wenty-nfth
anniversary of American independence.
the first Fourth of July in the new
century, was observed in a more elab-
orate manner than usual by the people
OF Wheeling and-vicinity. Not only were
the events of the day more numerous.
but the aggregate attendance was rec
ord-breaking.
Everybody went somewhere.
Business was virtually suspended. All
the mills and factories were idle. All
the jobbing houses were closed. The
retail stores, with thesexception of ven
doris of CONNECTIONS, cool drinks and fire.
works, made little effort to transact
any business. At'the4postofhce the reg
ular holiday hours were observed, and
at the City Building all the Offices ex-
cept in the police department were
closed.
In fact, the day was given UP to en-
5oyment, and all. classes participated
either In the public. celebrations or pri-
vate gatherings. 1t was a red-letter
Fourth in every sense OF the word.
There was not much display of flags
and patriotic emblems, but the average
citizen who has money to spend on the
hourth-particularly IL he happens to be
a citizen not old enough to vote-prefers
to put it in fireworks and refreshments.
II Is a safe assertion that the amount
OF money spent for fireworks in Wheel
ing exceeded that Of any other indie
incidence Day. The noise started short
" before midnight Wednesday, and was
protracted until after midnight this
morning.
On the streets of the city. particular
" in the heart of the retail district,
there was an almost constant din. The
cannon crackers, and other inventions
calculated to produce the greatest de-
donation, and incidentally to cause the
most severe shock to nervous people,
found greatest favor with Young Amer
Tea.
The employees Of the traction COM
panies had troubles OF their own. Not
only were they required to haul more
people than upon any Fourth OF July
IN the history OF the city, but their cars
were constantly d~ischarging bombs
placed on the track by persons residing

There were a number of private dis
plays of fireworks which were very
attractive. particularly those given at
some of the handsome suburban resi-
dences east of the city.

running long after midnight, bringing

BUTTER In BRICKS.
\ Machine That Aims Mt the Rapid
Production of Attractive One or
Two Pound 8locks.

Grocers and other retailers of but
ter buy good deal of that commodity
by the tub, and sell it in small quanti-
ties. In order to save time when sew
eral customers are waiting, it would
be an advantage to have the stuff cut
up in advance into one or two pound
bricks. Anticipating rush, many
grocers put sugar and tea up in ready
made parcels. But each lot is care
fully weighed out by itself. An in
genious western inventor has thought
of way to cut tub of butter up into
blocks on the wholesale plan.
For this work machine is used, a
part of which is shown in the drawing.

be- slipped up and down and entirely
removed from the uprights. This is
done at the beginning of the opera
tions. A tub of butter is turned out
OH the criss cross wooden block, pains
being taken to keep it square and
even. Then on one of the corner
posts is temporarily hinged q vertical
frame, containing three horizontal
wires tightly stretched one above the
other. By swinging this frame side
ways slowly and steadily the wires
will cut the mass of butter into four
layers. The uppermost is very thin.
and don't count. The others are of
uniform thickness. The first cut is
now detached from the machine, and
the other frame fitted on over the four
posts. This is forced downward stead
lily until the wires have cut to the bot
tom, and then raised again. By turn
ing the wooden block quarter way
round, and repeating the cutting oper-
alton, the butter will be reduced to
blocks of the desired shape. II is
claimed that the wires can be adjust
ed so as to vary the weight from half
q pound to two pounds. A gauge
shows how to set them. The imper-
feet bricks may be packed in mold
furnished with the machines, which,
when full, is overturned on the board
and two cuts are made with the frame
to produce 16 more bricks. How far
the well known difference in the dens-
ity of butter would offset the weight
of the bricks is nice question:.

VALUE OF Alfalfa.
It Makes nm Excellent permane.,
Pasture Which Lasts for Eight
or More Years.

Those sections of the country
where alfalfa can be grown have in
this crop one of the most valuable OF
our forage crops. 1t supplies the pro-
TEN which is such an essential food
element, and does SO at small cost
because Of its immense growth when
all conditions are favorable. 1t has
been grown successfully in portions
of nearly every state in the union.
Alfalfa is valuable in permanent
pasture, as it lasts for eight and ten
years, as the roots often penetrate
the soil to a depth of ten feet, though
usually about half this depth.
+ 1t requires rich, loose soil with a
porous subsoil. The ground should
be plowed deep and then finely pull
verified, and be free of weed seed as
possible, for during the first year the
plant is very delicate. Hence it is
best to sow on land that has been o.
cupied by well-cultivated plant. 1t
is sown broadcast or by suitable drill.
generally about 20 pounds of seed per
acre. When sown for hay more seed
is sown, as the hay will be finer. The
seed is sown in the spring after all
danger from frost is passed Alfalfa
is quoted at IS to 90 cents per pound.
according to the quality.
Would not small test patches of al.
falfa be wise in districts where it
is not now grown? AS stated, it re-
quires porous subsoil for best de-
velopment, and this is lacking in
many sections of our middle west
states; yet in all of these there are
