A STREET FAIR ?
Ci
To be Given Next Summer by the *
Wheeling Lodge of Elks. J'
COUNCIL GIVES PERMISSION I
,(
For the Occupancy of Streets on the *
South Side?Special Railroad Rates I
will be Secured, ami Many Thou- j
Band Visitors will be Attracted tojtlic ^
City?Details orthe Project will now T
be Worked out.
^
Canton had a "street fair" last sum- ^
mer that attracted over 50,000 people
to the presidential town in a week.
Wheeling I.*} to have one the coming
summer which the promoters, the
Wheeling lodge No. >2S, B. P. O. E., hope
will attract fully as many visitors to
Wheeling.
The committee of the lodge which has
the enterprise in charge has closed a
contract for the appearance here at Its
fair of the Pixposltlon Circuit Company, ^
with Its "Midway" multitude of attrac- *
tive features, which are alone suHlclent
to make the fair a great success. w
This company will be Here during the
week beginning Monday, June -G. and n
closing Saturday, July 1. Over 100 peo- ^
pie are carried by the company, and its '
weekly salary list Is 52,300. All the
attractive Oriental features that made 1
the World's Fair "Midway" so popular ?
are with this company, including the f
Streets of Cairo, (thirty people), Ara- 0
bian village, Egyptian village, Turkish
village and many other attractions. ..
From Wheeling this company goes to
East Liverpool, where It will be one of
the principal attractions of that city's
centennial celebration next July.
Thence it goes to Allegheny for an engagement
of two weeks. The company
invariably appears under li. P. O. E.
auspices. The company carries a number
of camels, Arabian norses, donkeys ; a
and other animals of the Orient. i 1*
In addition to this line attraction., T
there will be eight side-shows, each of j
which Is guaranteed to be a strong at-j A
traction. 1 t>
The "street fair" will be held on Chapline
street, beginning at Twentieth and I
extending down to Twenty-second; on j P
Twenty-second, Chapiine to Eofl; on (
Eolt, Twenty-second to Twenty-fourth,
The booths will extend along these
streets, on each side, fronting out in T
the street, with a fifteeu foot avenue
for the public. On Twenty-third, from
Eoff to Jacob, and on the vacant ground
between Eoff and Jacob, north of
Twenty-third, the "Midway" attrac- h
tions will hold forth, and a grand stand j
Is to be built for the accommodation j
of the tremendous crowds which it Is! s
anticipated will be attracted to the j s
show. j j,
Plans and specifications for the
booths will be prepared shortly, and o
then bids will be asked for their con- j <
structlon. They Will be roofed, and j p
lighted by electricity. Numberless arc fi(
lights will Illuminate the streets hi ~
night. There will be ample police ?
protection. n
It is expected that all the Wheeling w
merchants will take space in the
booths. Already 1,200 feet of booth space i,
has been asked for by merchants. The
promoters will charge for booth space V
the bare cost of the construction and
lighting. Many merchants are arrang,
Ing to advertise the coming fair to their
out-of-town customers.
The Wheeling Hallway Company has c
agreed to light and wire the booths free f1
of charge. "
The lodge is arranging to give each
charitable institution in me city a booth r'
free of charge and the exclusive right
for the sale of some particular article. '*
This plan was followed In Canton last t
summer, and some of the charities there b
cleared $."500. No doubt the local organizations
will gladly co-operate with the r
Elks in the street fair here. a
The promoters have secured the con- a
sent of the property owners along the
streets named, and last night council
gave its permission for the occupancy ;
of the several thoroughfares. i
The Elks will ask the chamber of j '
comerce to aid In booming the fair, ' a
which that body will doubtless be glad to
do. as the project will boom the
city as it hasn't been boomed or advertlsed
for a long time. a

AMUSEMENTS.
a
The announcement bf Manager Ries- s?
ter. that 'The Little Minister," the dramatlzatlon
of Barrle's charming crea- j
tion. will be seen on the Opera House o
stage in the near future, will be receiv- ^
ed with satisfaction by the Wheeling "
| theatre-going public. The original d
company, with Miss Maud Adams
in the star role, has been engaged for
the evening of 1-riday, March ". "T'.ie
Little Minister" plays a week's engage- y
ment at Pittsburgh next week, andsev- b
eral Wheeling- theatre parties were
forming, which will now no doubt be
abandoned. Manager RIester's enterprise
should be liberally rewarded.
"THE CHARLATAN." ^
Mr. Martinez, the musical critic of the c
New York World, was one of those who <i
appreciated the music written by John ^
Philip Sousa, for his new opera, "The \}
Charlatan," which will be presented at u
the mOpera House, Saturday evening, s
February I. He says: In none of the
several comic operas which John Philip
Sousa has written has ho so well exhibited
his muslclanly abilities, as in "The Charlatan."
His melodic mann.-r
throughout is pleasing. His choral .
writing is skillful, and the orchestration
delightfully ingenious. "The Charlatan"
ranks close to the- high water
mark in the matter of scenic and sartorial
stage Investiture. Russia, a
rather sombre and drear** country at
best, both in dress nnd character, in
this instance fields a wealth of color
t inH ?rtf?iilrtrnnp?? \VYilI' lliinnni1 ^nn.
' sa music, Alfred Kksin, Xella. IJergen.
Alice Judson, topical songs, brilliant
dialogues, and diverting lyrics com blue
to make the piece an evening of delightful
entertainment.
Tin-: Missouri girl."
A comedy drama and ;v really good *'
story, "Tk. Missouri Girl," will bo divert
at the Grand for three nights, beginning
Thursday, February with :\ ! '
matinee Saturday. The play is not new
to Wheeling theatre-jwers; it made an
excellent impression last ;\asun, because
of its being built on the lines <>f
the older class of mtrlo-drainas in which
consistency is observed as rnn-.h ns postole.
Says an exchange: You laugh,
scream and roar w.V:i Fred Raymond
as Zeke makes his bow to t!io audience
and ivou hoivl when he nnd Sadie "T
as Daisy, appear togfthur. If those two 1
lights of the comedy stage did nothing
but appear an audience would b convulsed.
Their make-up is enough to
cure n lit of (he blues, their nt tin;; sufficient
11 cau?o a rphinx to laugh. There
is not one dull moment from the open- >
lag of the opening of the II: -t act to th > .'h
elore of the fourth. The dancing or
Fred and Sadie Raymond was su.'li as <
to call for repeated encores. I

The appearance of that sterling organization,
the Players. In "Hare and
IIoundK," a highly r.ucccssful comedy r
by the great playwright, Sydney Grundy,
at the Opera IloUHe. next Friday
evening, will lie the occasion of one of o
the two most brilliant audiences of the "
eason, and the other was In evidence
t the first play of the Players' season. _
Hare and Hounds" Is protected by .
opyrlght, and the management of the n
'layers had to pay a considerable roy- y
lty for the privilege of producing the
lece here. The public will no doubt
ppreclate this enterprise on the part

ol'the Food. =
It is an interesting study to observe
nv the digestion of food is accomplish- ?
1 The greater part of vegetable food Is
tarch and this is never digested in the
:omach proper, nor is it effected by the
ep.sin in the upper stomach.
Starch (a Carbo-hydrate) is passed out
f the stomach into the duodenum or
:cor.d stomach and there treated by the
ancreatic juices, when in lime a micro:opic
fungi is grown from a part of the
rain, if that hag b:en eaten, and these
lemor.ts v.ith moisture, hent nnd time
ransform the startch into grape-sugar,
hich is the first act of digestion.
The processes are duplicated in an ar- 1
ificial or mechanical way in the manulcture
of Grape-Xuts, the new break- S
ast food made by the Postum Cereal r
o.. Lim., of Battle Creek. Mich. r
In this food one finds the delicate, g
weet taste of grape-sugar and when
a ten it will be found to quickly digest V
nd fatten and strengthen the entire n
ody. "
Its especial mission is to nourish and (]
ebuild the brain and nerve centers.
A certain, definite feeling of strength 3
nd ? lamina comes to the individual af- j-(
er a tew oays use ot urape-.>uis ui .

Being a condensed food, one does not
equire more than 3 to 5tea spoon fills at ''
meal, which is wortji considering from j]
n economical standpoint. ^
