Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-07-02

The executive committee met Monday
morning at s o'clock. and considerable
business was transacted. The Corona
ton stand was arranged for at the foot
of twelfth street on the Wharf. Head
quarters was ordered to advertise for
tieket-takers and other help during the
week. APPLICATION was received from
tAefN. c. T. u. to place barrels OF Ice
water at the various corners during the
Carnival week. and the privilege was
granted with thanks.
The Floral Committee made applica-
ton for sufficient funa to provide col
or bearers and attendants for the lady
marshals. Locations for the different
shows were discussed. This is quite
problem, as II is desirable To confine
them closely to the business district 10
make 1t as lively as possible for the
merchants during the week. Locations
are not plentiful; In fact. were 1t not
for concessions given by the Wheeling
AZ Elm Grove railroad there would be
practically none.
The managers of this system agreed
that rather than see the Carnival suffer.
they would abandon their downtown
lines, making the loop on Chapline
street. and not striking Fourteenth.
Water nor Twelfth streets. thus giving
sufficient locations for shows. This.
proirer was greatly appreciated by the
committee. they realizing at once the
loss to this company through the traf-
fle that naturally accrues TO a suburban
car when passing through busy street.
this being a great temptation to the
idler to take car ride to the country.
The association. at the suggestion OF
Mr.. Benson. decided to furnish guides
IN uniform at the street corners to an
nounce TO the people the times and route
of the Elm Grove line. However. 1t
was finally decided that, in Justice to
the road. the association should aban-
don the corner of Twelfth and Market
at the Mcclure, and move down Twelfth
to the opposite corner. far enough to
allow the elm Grove people terminal
station on Twelfth, facing Market from
below.
This will bring them before the peo-
pie, and save the public walk to Chap
line. A vote of thanks was rendered the
line for their kind action, as well as to
the traction company for its very lib
eral treatment to the Carnival Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Bostock, the famous Snowman,
was here Sunday, endeavoring to find
a suitable location for his beautiful gon-
doias. No location was found that was
entirely satisfactory, and 1t is very pos
sibe that we may have to give up the
pleasure OF having this attraction with
us. Our narrow streets, lack OF vacant
lots, and hills have cost us several very
beautiful attractions that we otherwise
might have had.
The Confetti people received another
shipment of $4,000 sacks Monday, and
Will be prepared to furnish the multi
tude with all Of this pleasure-giving,
fairy-like paper disc material that they
will wish
Clerks will be set to work at head
quarters at once signing the certificates
OF stock, and issuing tickets to paid up
subscribers. This matter will be rush
ed just as fast as collections come In.
The grand marshal OF the Rex paraae
has been notified of several low wires,
and some broken supports along the
proposed route of the Rex parade. This
matter will be attended to at once.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union failed to raise the monew.or bar
res and ice, and the committee will be
asked to provide them.
