SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Wholesome Stimulant. that
Is Absolutely Pure.

Physicians throughout the world agree
to the necessity for diffusive stimulants In
medical practice, but complain, and with
good reason, OF the impoSsibility of obtain
ing them pure. The difficulty here pre-
scented would be serious one indeed, if the
class of agents was limited to the adulter'
ated liquors and wines OF trade. 1t van
iShes, however, when the absolute purity
and extraordinary restorative properties OF
HoStetter's Bitters are taken into consider
alton. AS a stlmulant the article Is ahsO-
lutely free from everything Objectionable;
but this Is only one of its recommendations.
If il were nothing more than an eXcitant
its effects would be teeting. II might re-
fresh and revive the system for few min
utes, but could produce no permanent ben
EFT. The stimulating elements of the Bit
tiers is q means, not an end. The tonic, anti
bilious, depurative and aperient vegetable
Juices combined in the preparation are the
agents that impart vigOr and regularity 10
the weakened and diSordered organization,
the SpirituOus principle being chiefly useful
in ditiusing their influences through the
system and otherwise facilitating theii OPP
Grafton. Alcohol, even in its purest form,
is not so much a medicine as a motive
power, by which the spe cities OF the vege-
liable kingdom may be brought TO bear
upon the debilitated AMI disOrdered organs
that require renovating and regulating;
and II is in this way that the pure essence
of rye incorporated in Hostetter's Bitters
increases the efficiency OF the purely med.
ical ingredients.

Does History Repeat Itself:
.ditors of the Register

Some eighteen years ago prominent
citizen of this city, as member OF the
Railroad Committee Of Council, was in
strumental IN defeating a subscription
to the capital stock of the Central Ohio
Railroad Company, which proposed &c
bridge the river, near this place. He
wards took an active part in max.
ing subscription to the capital stock
Of the Marietta and Cincinnati Com
pany, which proposed to J,Gld a ro0d
do,on Wheeling Creek and terminate on
the Island. The result was that the
road never was built and the money o.
the city was lost.
Our prominent citizen is now en-
gagged in trying to defeat a subscription
to the Wheeling and Lake Erie Com
pany, which proposes to assistin building
a bridge over the river at this place
and is striving to induce this city to sub
scribe to the Wheeling and Tuscsrawas
Valley Company, which proposes, /,
possible, 70 build a road dozen Wheeling
Greek, to terminate on the Island.
Will our voters take a hint from the
above and secure a bridge by voting fol
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad
or will they permit our prominent citi-
zen and his friends to induce this city
70 squander her money for nothing s
second time? \.

chase, at any election held by the stock

! chase, at any election held by the stock
holders of the company.
But with the contractors for building
the road the case is different. They are
not subscribers to the capital stock,
but have agreed to receive certificates
of stock in payment for work done.
These certificates are only issued as
they are earned, one months payment
being made at a time. When the road
is fully completed and equipped accord
ing to contract and accepted 10y the
company, the contractors will have re-
ceived an amount Of shares Of stock
equivalent to those held by the local
subscribers, hut not until that time will
there be day when the contractors
will be able to balance by their vote the
vote Of the other stockholders in the
road.
We don't expect the Iatellgsncsr or
any other enemy OF public improve
ment to deal fairly in this matter or
cease it's denial of facts, but it seems to
US that the above explanation should
be satisfactory to any person who Is
sincerely and caniidly in search Of the
truth.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1872-05-30

"OS general principles" the city OF
Wheeling wants all the railroads che
can get and she never will be much Of
a town until she has better facilities for
communication with the outside world
than now. We want q bridge too.
There is not much chance Of lettering
orr present condition until we have a
railroad bridge. An opportunity is now
afforded of securing very important
road and a bridge at the same time
See that it is not lost by neglect.

Mr.. SWEENEY in Tuesdays Intelkgencer
Mr.. BECKER "hooted at the idea" that
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road could
be built for $50, 900 per mile; ut was
nonsense to talk about it," Would it
not be well for the opponents of this

MEN Sdlu W US last uISuti obN
us every day, that they are willing to
vote a million dollars to build bridge
and railroads into Ohio, If they can only
haze an absolute security that the payment
of the money ,ciN bring the imprOreme''ts.
But they have not YET had the evidence,
as we have not, that the voting OF the
money proposed to the organizations
asking for it is the way to accomplish
this result.-Inteligencer, Wednesday.
What guarantees do these gentlemen
want? What evidence do they require ?
The role of doubling Thomas" is an
easy one to play, and some men who
have determined at all hazards to OPP
pose the building Of any more railroads
to this city find it very convenient to
| rank themselves among the doubt
ers. "a man convinced against
his will is of the same opinion
STILL" and no matter what proofs
were adduced to..make coordination
strong as Holy Writ these gentlemen
would still call for "evidence" and for
security" The Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railroad Company, and the cor"
porators of the Bridge Company, have
given all the evidence that need be
given, and more than is usual in such
cases, that the voting Of the proposed
subscriptions next Saturday will bring
the improvement in contemplation. A
few months ago Ohio county voted to
give 1925, 900 to the Pittsburgh, Wheel
ing and kentucky railroad, upon less ev'
dence that the subscription would
secure the building of the road than Is
offered now in relation TO the
Wheeling and Lake Erie. Who
called then for an inspection Of
the books to see whether Brooke
county had really subscribed? Who
called for the full publication OF the
agreement with Mr.. ScoTr, Of the
Pennsylvania Company, and was that
| agreement really signed until after the
subscription had been voted by this
county? These gentlemen were not SC
captious then; they stood upon no mere
verbal bubbles then; nor did they talk
about conditions, evidence, and security
when they desired subscription to the
capital stock of the Wheeling and Tus.
caravans Valley road.
We favored the Pittsburgh, Wheel
ing and Kentucky road and did what
we could to obtain a favorable vote
upon subscription to its stock. But We
had then no better evidence that the
road would be built and no better guar
antee against misappropriation Of the
funds than we now have in relation to
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road and
the railroad bridge. 1t would be more
honorable in the opponents. OF these
enterprises to come out in their true col
ors and say that they are op-
posed to them per Sc than to
resort to the miserable subterluge OF
saying that they are willing to vote a
million dollars to build bridge and
railroads into Ohio" but they want
more security or more guarantees.
Everything that reasonable men can
ask has already been afforded, and the
opposition now is simply opposition to
the further improvement Of the city, or
else it is founded upon the mistaken no.
ton that il this railroad be defeated an
other Ohio road will be, after a time,
