The Parkersburg Banks.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The statements of the National banks
of Parkersburg just published give a
better measure of business conditions
in Parkersburg than would any mere
assertion.
The total deposits amount to s3,174,-
012.23, and the individual deposits,
which includes certificates, amount to
$2,526, 282.03 From these figures We
learn that there is quite bit of ready
money floating around after all. The
total capital of the banks is $756,000.
The deposits are five times the amount
of the capital. The aggregate of the
loans and discounts is $2,831.32. From
these figures we gather an imperfect
idea of the dimensions of the financial
undertakings of this vicinity. Exclud-
ed from these figures is the business of
the Wood County Bank, the Central
Banking & Security Co. and the Citi-
zens Guaranty & Trust Co., whose
business, if added to the figures above,
would probably swell the total another
million of dollars.

ENORMOUS TRUST ECONOMY

Joshua Rhodes, of Pittsburg who was
chairman of the National Tube Com
pany until the trust absorbed it. says
the big new combine has adopted the
policy of centralizing operations. 1t
will abandon its poorly located plants
and transfer the work they have here
tofore done to the big ones operated at
the lowest cost.
This is good economic policy and will
effect an enormous saving to the trust,
but it will work disaster in many a
smaller community. Some of these de-
pend altogether on one industry and
such will be simply wipeo out of exis-
tence. 1t is the old story of the trusts.
fortunately the Wheeling district has
all the advantages of Pittsburg and
some others besides, and the new move
is not likely to deprive this locality of
any of its mills. 1t is more likely that
our natural advantages as manufac-
turing centre will cause some of the
mills dismantled in smaller towns to
be transplanted here We are sorry for
the smaller towns, but on the principle
of true economy it will be best for the
inuustry.
The expenditure saved by this mass
ing of plants will be enormous, but will
the trust give the consumer the benefit
of it, or will the trust hog 1t all.

THE BROKE BRIGADE.

When the string snaps and man goes
He turns to the woods or the sea:
He cuts clean loose from the home bred
folk,
While love and honor go up like smoke.
And life is a gamble and death is joke.
And the universe good to'see.
There's brand new sort Of a fate for him:
They may languish early and late for him.
The bird on the wing is mate for him,
And the hawk on the hunt goes free.
There's the brown and gloom Of the forest
track
Where the deer go ghostly by;
There's the starving camp and the dead
weight pack,
The moose hide lodge or the trappers
And a VOLTS fierce life in the pine woods
And the freedom Of the sky.
There's the plunging deck and the jarrins
And the ollskins bright with foam.
The stokehole's blaze and it's naked crew
or the topsails drenehed with the gulf
And the sharp, salt breath of the landless
blue,
Where a man forgets his home.
We know It.. my friends of the "brohe
brigade"
Pals Of the plain and sea.
Single handed and uHafrald,
The artists of life and the fools OF trades
But we think we know how the game Ii
played,
And we know where It's best 10 be-
There are some that may wait and pray
for us;
There is luck that never win stay for us.
But the woods and the waves will maks
way for

Schwab was discreetly silent, saying he

Mr.. Schwab was of course, favorable
to ship subsidies. He believes in every
thing in the way of government aid to
make organized capital stronger and its
profits greater. If questioned on the
point he would probably have stated
his solemn belief that the Hanna ship

out Of the peoples treasury and give
them to the proposed shipping trust was
for the sole benevolent purpose of keep
ing up the wages of the sailors.

PARkERSBURG. W. Va, May 49,
idiot Hill is name given to a locality
IN Writ county. w. Va, along the banks
of the Little kanawha river, because of
the feeble-minded community residing
there. Years ago family struggled out
into that locality and settled. A rev years
Later late another family nearly related to the
first one also struggled in. and the fam
lies intermarried. For several generations
this has been kept up until the product
OF continued intermarriages of the same
families is a weak-minded race of beings,
who still inhabit the hill on which the
first family located. The people of the
county knowing the history OF the family
and the result of their intermarriages,
have given the name of idiot Hill to
the settlement where these people live.
And of this place strange, wild tale is
told.
A party of hunters recently went to
that section of the county 10 engage in
field sports and especially to chase the
red foxes which are so numerous in that
section. They selected a spot and pitched
their camp near to Idiot HILL Several
of the halfwitted people of the settle
ment wandered curiously about their camp
and participated in their first fox chase.
and several times took part in the chase.
Fleet of foot and almost wild, they en-
jeyed the sport intensely, and were al
ways in at the finish when the fox was
killed
One day while the hunters were in
camp the winding of horn was heard
and the men as we'll as the hounds were
soon on the alert. The baying, as Of
hounds in full chase, was heard and upon
investigation ii was found that lot of
the boys of Idiot HiIl' were having a
fox chase. One of the feetest of foot
was acting as the fox. while the others
baying like hounds, were in hot pursuit
The pursued fed over the hills and valleys
till he. came to barn, under which he
took refuge. The others upon reaching it,
prodded him out with a pitchfork and
renewed the chase. From their camp the
hunters could see the chase. and suppos-
ing It was imitation of their own
chases, gave Ii their attention At last
the boy who was pursued grew weaker
and the others caught up with him Then
came the finish. Before the hunters re-
allied what was happening the Others
still baying like the hounds, gathered
around their victim while he was prodded
to death with pitchforks. The half-witted
boys did not realize what they had done
and were leaping and bowling in the
greatest glee about the PROSTATE form OF
their dead companion
The hunters carried the body to a
house near by, and saw that it had q de-
cent burial, but they at once left the
locality of Idiot Hill'' and have never
cared to return there to hunt foxes.

Cupid's Capers.

That Cupid continues to cut some
funny capers was demonstrated this
week at Bismark, country town, in
Grant county, when Miss Polly Moore

years old, was married to Grant Bur-
CESS, stalwart young farmer, aged 80
years, living in the same vicinity From
the time that Burgess was quite a
small boy he and the aged lady were
the best of friends. Their friendship
ripened into love, and some time ago
the fact that they would be united in
marriage was announced. Such proved

BUILD THE BEST THEATRE.

Thero has been some talk recently OF
curtailing the plans for the new the
atre because the building as at present
outlined will cost little more than has
been subscribed
Such a move should not be contem-
plated. Enlarge the plans may be, but
don't curtail them. Wheeling has been
so long behind the times in the matter
of amusement houses that it will take
the longest possible step forward to en-
able it to catch up with the process
sion. Moreover, when the new theatre
shall be built, it will doubtless be the
only one of the kind we will have for
many a long year, and we should not
only provide one that will meet the re-
quirements of the present, but we
should have a view to the future-and
Wheeling has great future before her
and a great growth. In fact, we have
only begun to make systematic effort
to expand 1t will not be long be-
fore we will outgrow present require
ments and call for others. The matter
OF amusement enterprise is highly i'm
portant. Well conducted and commodi-
Gus places of amusement are as import
ant features of a city's attractions as
good government and natural adyan-
tages. We want all the good things
that any other city has and we want
them to be just as good and attrac-
tive.
Don't pursue a cheese-paring policy
with regard to the new theatre project.
1t will be a serious mistake. Let us
make the new theatre as good and as
commodious and attractive play
house as can be erected on the site.
We can't build one too good for this
city. 1t probably will be the only one
we will have for years to come, and
it should be built to meet all modern
and future requirements as far as pos
sible
Parkersburg proposes to erect ''the
finest theatre in the State Don't let
us permit Parkersburg to do anything
of the sort. Let the finest theatre in
the State be in Wheeling, and let it
be worthy of the greatest city in the
State.
If enough money has not been al
ready subscribed, reopen the subscrip-
tion books and the Register will guar
antee that a sufficient sum will be SUBJ
scribed to carry out the present or
more extensive plans There was not
the least trouble in raising money for
this purpose, and an abundance more
will be forthcoming on demand. We re-
peat, let the original plans be improved
upon and enlarged if need be, but don t
curtail them one iot.
Let us have strictly up-to-date the
atre, and as much better as it can be
made.

A jug with a selection of foreign

by express. The jug had become
cracked in transit and the thirsty who
had collected at the depot were thrown
into spasms by seeing the liquor waste
as it did. They held their hands and
their hats under the leak in order to
get all that was coming to them but
they were driven away by the heartless
employees at tie station who allowed the
liquor to run away as if it had no
balm for the injured hearts which bled
