The Birth of the ''Greater'' New Yors,

With the dawn of the new year the
'sGreater" New York is ushered into
the world full grown giant. The
problem of municipal government in
this country is TO be put to the SUI
premest test on the grandest scale.
Within its limits is contained popu-
lation equal to that OF thirteen OF our
sovereign states at the last census,
and as large as that of the original
thirteen states when the union was
organized. Provisions for the life
and health of this vast multitude of
all nations and chimes is an unsolved
enigma, but profting by the exper-
fence of half century's success,
thousands of sufferers in New York
and elsewhere can be wrested from
the grasp of that agonizing complaint
rheumatism, by the timely and syste-
matte use of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which is, moreover, a preventa-
tive OF MALARIA and kidney trouble,
and sovereign curative of liver COM
plant, constipation, dyspepsia, de-
bility, sick headache and nervous
ness. 1t is an admirable appetizer
and promoter OF sleep, hastens conva-
lescence, and counteracts the infirma-
ties of age

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
To Be Extended to West Virginia Min.
ing Regions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 81.
Congressman Dayton, of the Sec
ond district, is working quietly now
to secure from the postoffice depart
ment an extension of what is known
as rural free delivery in West Virginia
farming and industrial localities.
He is urging upon the officials the
Importance of caring for West Vir-
ginia's interests in this respect. West
Virginia already has this rural free
delivery in some sections, but NEEDS
Others. In his last annual report the
first assistant postmaster general
said
''Three rural delivery districts have
been in operation in West Virginia
since October, 1896, branching out
from Charleston, Uvilla and Hall
town, and extending over a section of
agricultural country lying between the
Blue ridge and Allegheny mountains.
Three carriers go out from Charles
town; one each from the other stations.
All OF them have to cross farms in
their routes, but meet with every
facility from the community served
The service is regarded with favor. "
This rural delivery is intended
primarily for farming communities,
but the suggestion is made that it
be applied to mining regions where
the population possibly may not be
any thicker than in country places.

State penstentiary Has no MeneY and
None Is Appropriated.

CHARLESTON. w. VA, January 81
A. G. Scherr, of Keyser; ]. w. Gilke-
son, of Moorefield, and John Bloyd, OF
Moundsyille, of the board of directors
of the penitentiary, with the warden,
5. A. Hawks, were here to-day and
had conference with the board Of
public works relative to the deficiency
in the funds to run the penitentiary.
The legislature failed to make any APP
preparation for the penitentiary, al
Though their attention was called to
the omission by superintendent Peck,
and consequently the new board is
without funds to support the insti-
tuition. No arrangement has yet been
made to get the money, but ii is I'M
derstood that an effort will be made
TO borrow it from one OF the banks.
There is plenty Of money in the state
treasury: consequently the trouble is
the result of the neglect of the legis-
lature.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if let to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to
result in that dread disease, pneu
monia. We know of no better REM
edy to cure a cough or cold than
Chamberlain's Cough remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfac-
tion.-Oolagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventative
of pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it for cold
and lagrippe we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or have reason to fear an at
tack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. The % and so cent

ally Drowned.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Jan. 2l.-
News carae here last night from
Hamlin, Lincoln county, Of a dis
tressing accident ON Ten Mile Creek,
that county, Sunday morning.
Rev. j. @. Enoch, baptist min
lister, closed very successful revival
meeting, and had ten converts to be
baptised. Hundreds OF people gath
cred to see the converts immersed in
Ten Mile Creek. Seven of the can
didates were successfully put under
water, when it came the turn of Mrs.
Homer Keck, woman forty years
old and weighing 200 pounds. Rev.
Mr.. Enoeh was chilled and his hands
benumbed from long contact with the
water Mrs. Keck was timid, and
when the minister tipped her over
backwards she seemed to lose con-
seriousness from the shock of the cold
water Her full weight came upon
the preachers arms, he was unable
to hold her, and she sank in three
feet of water. Several men hurried
to the rescue, but in the excitement,
they were unable to do but very lit
tie, and Mrs. Keck was not carried
ashore for fully five minutes. She
was unconscious, and all efforts to
restore her proved unavailing. The
immersion of the remaining two can
didates has been postponed until the
weather is warmer.
