A wonderful Record.

Myriads OF so-called "specitcs" and
cures" for rheumatism have already been
brought before the public, and many of
them have even been endorsed by the
certificates OF respectable and prominent
citizens, who have derived benefit from
such preparations. There is no doubt that
great many OF these ''liniments,"
"oils," ETC., so widely'advertised and free
" recommended for rheumatism and
painful complaints Of similar nature,
have genuine merit, and will relieve GER
tain types of the complaints named; but
when rheumatism, neuralgia and kindred
diseases have become chronic and threat.
en- serious results, you may rest assured
that they will help but very little.
Although not recommended as "iniall-
Bile, " the peculiar qualities OF ST. JACOBS
oiL especially adapt it to those cases
which may be termed "chronic" and
which have previously withstood all
known specifics" as well as the prescrip-
tions OF the best physicians.
We would mention, as an example, the
case Of Mr.. A. Heilman, editor of the Fits
burgh Republican, who suffered with
rheumatism for two years. After yainlv
using all the best recommended remedies,
and exhausting the skill OF the most ex.
perienced physicians, without even tenn
porary relief, it required only two bottles
OF st. Jacobs Oil to effect permanent
cure. Mr.. @. Hanni, well known citl-
zen ot Youngstown, Ohio, secured for his
vile, who for twelve years had been q con-
stant sufferer from neuralgia in the head,
the services OF the ablest physicians OF the
land, but they were unable to do anything
for her; half bottle OF ST. Jacobs oil
cured her. Mr.. VIM. Reinhart, Elmore,
Wis, reports the case OF a neighbor who
Tor twenty-four years had suffered so terri.
bly, with rheumatism that, at times, no
could hardly move around; few bottles
ot St Jacobs Oil cured him. "To cap the
climax" however, Mr.. A. Neiger, Of Tay.
lorville, Pa, writes that his mother, who
had been a continual sufferer with rheu.
matism for the past thirty years, used one
bottle OF st. Jacobs Oil and was immeli.
ately relieved Of all pain. These are re.
suits which truly deserve 10 be brought 10
public notice; but they are not exceptions,
as will be seen by the numerous other
certificates from all parts OF the United
States. 1t should be the duty OF every one
to call the attention OF his suffering friends
and neighbors to this wonderfully effica.
cious preparation, especially as the low
price of 90 cents bottle places it within
the reach otall persons, rich and poor.

uoOEs opened for subscription to Itl
Capital stock.


lu accordance with the resolutions
adopted at the McLure House conference
last Saturday, directing books Of subsCrip
ton TO the capital stock Of the Wheeling
aud Parkesburg railroad TO be opened al
once in all the counties, and fixing 10 pei
cent as the amount 10 be paid in on all
shares subscribed for, Capt. Mcclure has
had books Of subscription properly pre-.
pared for all the counties, and one Of these
books is now open at the office OF ". F,
Peterson, Esq, adjoining the Ex.
change Bank, and oil citizens who feel an
interest iR the success OF this most i'm.
portant enterprise are requested to come
forward and enter their names for some OF
the stock.
The amount ofstoCk apportioned to this
county, under the preliminary arrange.
meut agreed upon at the McLure House
meeting, Is $4,000, inasmuch as it re.
qaires ten per cent OF this amount to
yield our pro rata $1,000 Of the S, 400
necessary to be raised in all the counties
for the survey Of the road.
The sooner each county raises its appor.
tloument OF stock the sooner will the sur.
vey be commenced. The $4,000 required
from this county should be easily OBJ.
lAiued in the next two weeks. II will be
raised in that timeif those who feel an in.
lerest in the success of the enterprise will
CONS forward without delay and take
some stock.
II is no small tax on one or two indi-
Viduals who are jealous in this work, to
ask them to go round from store to store
and shop to shop, and solicit citizens to
take some stock. Those who are willing
to help in the matter should be willing to
call in at the office OF Mr.. Peterson, and
enter their names on the subscription
book, and hand over 10 per cent on the
amount.
The Parkersburg delegation seemed to
feel at the McLure House meeting, that
notwithstanding this railroad project ORR
ginated here, and Notwithstanding the
corpOrators lived here, yet there was not
such evidence Of live interest in the mat
ter as they expected to find in our midst,
sud not such a condition of forwardness
and maturity as respects plans and pur-
poses as they had been led to hope for. 1t
seemed to them as II, strangely enough,
there was not as much enthusiasm here as
could be found at Parkersburg.
Let US show the Parkersburg people,
aud the people all along the line, that
Wheeling is deeply and unmistakably in
earnest in this railroad project. In no
way can we eshow this feeling SO convinc-
ingly MS by the prompt subscription Of our
pro rata Of the stock to be taken prior to a
regular organization and survey. II We
could raise the stock this week it would
be thatmuch better as an appeal to the
people along the route, and would tend to
quicken their movements in the same
direction.
We trust that all our business men will
COME forward at once and make sub.
Scrf!ption to the stock. Do not wait to be
called on, as calling involves an amount of
gratuttous labor and time on the part OF
somebody that should not be looked for
in ali enterprise that is so pre.eminently a
matter OF public interest.

Pred Douglas Invited 10 Speak In Wheel.
ing.
Fred Douglas, the distinguished colored
OF ator, at present United States Marshal
Of the District Of Columbia, has been in
vited by the Lecture Committee OF the
Wheeling Library Association to deliver
Rlscture in this city. Shades of John
Gilmor, and all the old anti.slavery
pioneers of this region, can you at this
time make note of the changes that have
occurred in this community since the days
Of 1889? Here is one OF those runaway
slaves, whom you were once suspected Of
helping on their way North, about to
lecture in our midst. Can such things be
aud not overcome US even at this late
day?
When Fred lectured here some years
ago he came on his own hook. Nobody
invited him, and some Of the Republicans
were even timid about showing the light
of their countenance on his appearance
However, he had a good audience-very
respectable in size and character-and no
doubt he will now have still larger one,
and, II possible, still better one. 1t is
thus the world moves.
Fred is an old gray.headed darkey, but
he is still able to ediiy the average white
man. This, too, Notwithstanding the facl
that he had to run away from slavery in
order to get start in life. Those who
believe in takinga man as they find him in
this world, and in giving every human
being chance for all that is in him, will
not be ADVERSE to turning out to hear
Fred this time.
