WHEELING'S PLAN.

The city of Wheeling, w. Va, al
ready the centre Of a large number OF
important manufactures, wants more,
and the business men have adopted
plan for securing them that will no
doubt bring results. The scheme IS to
ask the banks for 81 900, 900, to be lent
70 such new industries as are Indicated
bv the committee iuto the hands OF
which that part Of the work IS put.
The banks will be secured by the guar
antees OF the business men and cor
norations of Wheeling. II any ofthese
new concerns prove losing venture,
the money advanced by the banks Will
be made good pro rata by the indorsers.
In this way it is expected to get large
number OF new industries at little risk,
and perhaps no final cost at all, as 1t is
not probable that many OF the assisted
Industries will prove failures, and the
losses OF those tnaC w VIII iaii ~
lightly upon the individual indor
.ers as to make them little felt.
The practicability and security OF the
scheme will depend finally upon the
care and Judgment exercised in the
selection Of the plants to which aid is
extended, aud if these are properly
chosen the slight losses that will be aus
tanned will be more than made up by
the benefits accruing to the guarantors
from those institutions that prove sue
cessful
Wheeling is evidently determined to
be ia the front rank OF progress.

WORK FOR ALEXANDRIA.

If Alexandria is to take It's place
among the prosperous cities OF the
south its people must work with the
one idea Of placing it there. In this
connection the following editorials
taken from several western papers sug-
gest some things which would oe of as
sistance to US il we would adopt them.
The Neodesha KAN Register says
every town has its advantages and
should make the most Of them. Every
town is fitted for some one enterprise
more than another, and as soon as 1t
discovers what that is it should take
hold OF the matter and push it for all
there is in it. One man cannot make
a town. The newspaper cannot do IT..
But one man OIL newspaper with the
help of the wide-awake men of the
place, all pulling together, can make a
wide difference in the place. Every
man who succeeds in town is help
to it. The more money he makes, II
he spends it, the better for the COM
munity. The larger business he builds
up, the more he advertises, the more
attention is called to the town. A man
cannot build up an honorable business
in a town without helping the country.
The interest of one is the interest OF all.
The rivalry that sometimes exists be-
tween towns in the same county IS short
sighted policy.
On the same subject the Sterling
(kan.) Bulletin says: No town will
become a business center so long rs its
business men rely on feT merchants
to make the effort to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in few
lines Of trade are about the only ones
that reach out for custom. OtEer
merchants wait until these men have
Induced the people to come to town
and content themselves with trade that
naturally drifts to their place. A
public-spirited man should ask himself
il he is doing his part in attracting
people to town to trade. {"
The Tennessee (Okla.) Clipper in an
article headed. How to Keep Town
From Improving" says: In the first
place, buy everything you need in some
other place. If,you have Touring mill,
send off for all your flour 1t sounds
better to have it come from a distance
even if the quality be inferior. If you
have brickyard, send off for your
brick; it makes a man feel important
to ship few car loads of brick, no
matter il he should have to pay more
for them thar he would at home
factories. He suggests sending away
for printing, and all groceries that can
be bought in bulk, etc All of which
will prevent the home merchants from
squandering money in bailding up
their own town.

SUSPECTED OF POISONING.

Ida Brooks Cohen, charged with
causing the deaths by poison OF her
husband, Morris and of Sarah Cohen,
was arrested in Baltimore yesterday.
Morris Cohen, widower OF Sarah and
uncle Of Ida's husband, was also ar
rested charged with aiding in the death
OF his wife. The police allege that
considerable affection prevailed between
the couple under arrest and they be-
ieve they conspired together to kill
their respective spouses in order that
their liason might be carried on undis-
turbed.
When taken into custody all the
Cohen woman would say was, I can
not explain my husbands death" She
stated she was twenty-four or twenty
five years old, had been married four
months, and had not known her hus-
bands uncle before her wedding.
Morris Cohen showed evidence OF
severe strain. He refused to discuss
the charges against him. Samuel
Cohen, 4 son OF the dead woman, also
died few hours after the death OF his
mother. When the father was ques-
toned regarding the deaths OF his wife
and child his mann"r aroused suspicion.
Then the police learned that few
days before the death of Mrs. Cohen q
fire starte in the early morning in the
room where she and her children we're
asleep Cohen showed up shortly after
the fire and said that he had been to a
river resort and had walked home.
The police then decided to exhume the
bodies of the dead man and woman.
The viscera Of each was secured and the
chemical analysis, which was completed
yesterday morning showed that death
in both cases had been due to poison.

all persons who violate the law-and
if this is done the nuisance will be

question will be taken up at the next
meeting Of the Board of Police Com
missiopers when some action on this
matter will be considered.

THE CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
RfLI.

Folloging a four hours discussion of
the Canadian reciprocity bill by the
Senate finance committee in executive
session yesterday. Chairman Penrose
expressed the opinion that any amend
ment which might be adopted by the
committee would he killed on the floor
of the Senate.
1t was thought at first that some
compromise might be reached on the
Root amendment to the paper and
wood pulp clause which amendment
has been objected to as fatal to the
agreement, hut such compromise was
found impossible. 1t is not believed
that any amendment other than that
offered by Senator Root will have even
chance of adoption in committee,
although Senator Nelson, who has pre-
pared several placing duties on grains,
cattle and horses. which under the
agreement would come in free, will be
heard by the committee today.
1t was the first day of executive con-
sideration of the bill, but the COM
mittee's deliberations were without re-
suit so far as voting on the bill or any
amendment was concerned, and it was
declared doubtful whether the com"
mittee would be ready to report the
measure today.
Most of yesterdays session was de-
voted to debate over the Root am nd
ment provides that it shall not be i'll
force until the president is satisfied and
has issued proclamation that wood
pulp, paper and board is being ad
mitted free of duty from this country
into all the provinces of Canada.
Secretary OF State Knox was sum
moned before the committee to en-
tighten It as to any understanding be-
tween the trainers of the agreement
which might clear up the situation as
to the Root amendment. But Mr..
Knox told the committee that they
had the entire agreement before them
and had. therefore, as much knowledge
as he as to the effect Of any amend
mentS they might make.
He declined t. answer definitely the
question as to whether in his opinion
the Root amendment would kill the
