The total number Of admissions fof
the six months was close to S,Uo'oo.
An average of 2,OOO,OOO month had
been figured on by the exposition ofil-

BUSINESS MEN VISIT
BIG SUGAR REFINERY

Denver, Nov. 3.-The Lovelnnd beet
sugar refinery of the Great Western
Sugar Company was yeterday visited
by half hundred visitors from Den
yer. including newspaper representa-
tives, prominent business men and cap
italists, as the guests of the Colorado
4 Southern railway. President Trum-
bull conveying the party in special car.
The Loveland factory opened last
Monday with n capacity of $50 tons Il
day, and 6OOO acres of beets from
which to draw its supply. Next year
the company expects to handle 10000
acres of beets at the rate of l 800 tons
II day.
The process of turning the sugar
beets into the refined saccharine pro-
duct was entirely new to the majority
of the party.
Dr. ID. II. Dougan. cashier of the
National Bank of Commerce. was en-
thusiastic over the future of the state
as n sugar producer.
"The development of the beet sugar
industry means that Colorado will
soon possess rival to its mining in
terests. 1t means that every acre of
land in the state that can be irrigated
will be of use in building up wealth
and population of the state"
President Frank Trumbull of the
Colorado X Southern road. was also de-
lighted with the prospects.
1T will mark new era in the de-
velopment of the agricultural sections
of the state" said he "and the bene-
fits to be derived are almost incalcu-
liable"
The guests We're shown through
every department of the factory, and
watched the process from the unload
ing of the beets to the turning out of
the refined sugar, samples of which in
especially prepared boxes were present.

Denver, Nov. 2.-The News, in re-
view Of the beet sugar situation, says:
"High-class granulated sugar Is be-
ing placed on the market in Colorado
at $3.50 per 100 pounds. This sugar
comes from Colorado factories ana ID
supplied largely by the independent
companies, whose plants are now in
active operation. The sugar Is not be-
ing placed in warehouses, as was ex-
pected very short time ago, but is
shipped by the carload to principal
points of distribution.
The announcement cannot fail to be
received with special qualification by
thousands of farmers who have con-
scientiOusly entered upon the culture
of the sugar beet, and who were
alarmed Il few weeks ago by the news
that the trust had lowered the price
of sugar to 49, cents. This price meant
that the Colorado plants would be op-
Grated at loss and farmers would be
obliged to enter into new contracts at
lower rates with the sugar companies
as soon as present contracts expire.
Thanks to the united front presented
by the beet sugar men and also to
quiet tip from Washington, the sugnr
trust came to n conclusion that It had
too big fight upon its hands, and
suddenly receded from its arrogant at
titude. The price of sugar Mt the Mis-
souri, river WAS advanced by the trust
1 cents and the trust did not attempt
to carry the war into the Rocky noun
tain region. President RoOsevelts ut
terance in favor of home industry as
sisted in clearing the situation. and,
although the rate is not back exactly
to the figures which We're quoted be-
fore the trust threw down the gaunt-
let, the conditions are SO far relieved
that the men of large capital who are
Interested in the sugar industry in Col
Orado have confidence in the final out

Fire Among the Redwoods.

Perhaps the most startling phenom-
enon of the fire was the quick death
of child-like Sequoias only century
or two of age. In the midst of the
other comparatively slow and steady
firework, one of these tall, beautiful
saplings, leafy and branchy would be
seen blazing up suddenly all in one
heaving, booming, passionate flame
reaching from the ground to the top
of the tree, and fifty to a hundred feet
or more above it, with a smoke col
umn bending forward and streaming
away on the upper free-fiowing wind.
To burn these green trees strong
fire of dry wood beneath them is re-
CURED to send up current of air hot
enough to d.still infiammable gases
from the leaves and sprays; then, in
stead of the lower limbs gradually
catching fire and igniting the next and
next in succession. the whole tree
seems to explode almost simultaneous
ly, and with awful roaring and throb-
bling a round, tapering flame shoots
up two or three hundred feet, and in a
second or two is quenched. leaving the
green spire black, dead mast. bris-
tied and roughened with down-curling
boughs.-John Muir in Atlantic.

Bread Made of Moss.

In some parts of the world bread is
made of bark or moss. This occurs
in more than one place in the far
north, and bread is made of vastly
different materials in different coun-
tries. In Lapland. oats with the in
ner bark of the pine are used. The
two together, well ground and mixed,
are made into large fiat cakes and
cooked in pan over the fire. In

tutes the whole of the native bread
food. The Tcelander scrapes the Ice
land moss off the rocks and grinds 1t
into fine flour, which serves both for
bread and puddings. In parts of Italy
chestnuts are cooked, ground into
meal, and used for making bread. Dur
ra, a variety of millet, is much used
in India, Egypt, Arabia and Asia Minor
for making bread.-Chicago Journal.

PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS
THANKSGIVING DAY

Washington. Nov. s. President
Roosevelt yesterday issued his procla-
nation fixing Thursday, November %.
as Il day of national thanksgiving. 1t
is as follows:
1.-THE season is nigh when, according
to the timc-hallOwed custom of our peo-
pie the president appoints day as
the especial occasion for praise and
thanksgiving to God.
"rhis thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the denth
of n great and good president. We
mourn President Mckinley because we
so loved and honored him; and the
manner of his death should awaken in
the breasts of our people keen ankle
ty for the country, and ut the same
time Il resolute purpose not to be driv-
Ell by any calamity from the path of
strong, orderly, popular liberty which
as n nation. we have thus far trod.
''Yet in spite of this great disaster, it
is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prosepered
in things material and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let us re-
member that. as much has been given
MS, much will be expected from us: and
that true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips, and shows
itself in deeds. We can best prove
our thankfulnesss to the Almighty by
the way in which on this earth and
at this time each of us does his duty
to his fellow men.
mo. therefore, /, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States.

thanksgiving. Thursday, the twenty
eigth of this present November, and
do recommend that throuout the land
the people cease from their wonted
occupations and at their several homes
and places of worship thank the Giver
of all good for the countless blessings
of our national life"

No more convincing proof of the fact
that Wheeling is becomingthe centre of a
large population could be afforded than
in the congested condition of some Of
the leading retail streets, last evening
"A second factor was the crowded con-
dition of the cars running from subur-
ban points. The Elm Grove railway
had about all the people it could car
ry in the early evening, and the Wheel
ing Traction Companyfs cars from the
Benwood district were filled to reple-
ton. while the cars from the Ohio side
of the river were crowded until stand
ing room only was at a premium, the
registers showing from seventy to nine
ty fares on single run.
AS result the streets in the central
part of the toyn were filled with a
swarming mass of humanity from half
past seven until half-past ten, and even
as late as half-past eleven there was
tangible evidence that a number of
folks were not yet ready to go to bed,
and that shopping was not at an end.
The spectacle on Main street, from
Bridge Place south to Twelfth, on the
last named street, and on Market from
Twelfth south, during the early portion
of the evening, was an animated one.
1t is probable that ten or twelve thous-
and people passed the Register Office

ten, and everybody who knew anybody,
either male or female, was pretty GER

numerous crowd, with some pictures
que and interesting features we'll
worth the study Of those having a lit
tie leisure time, and illustrated the
fact that Wheeling on Saturday nights,
has become the centre of a constantly
increasing population, the members of
which find both pleasure and profit in
taking car ride to town and mingling
with the thousands who gather here
from every point of the compass. And
as the season progresses these visitors
will increase in numbers, and with our

Wheeling welcomes its visitors, and,
from time to time, will provide enter
tainment of one form or another.
