After good deal of negotiating and
delay Postmaster George Wise has at
last succeeded in obtaining an increase
in the force of letter carriers for this
city from seventeen to twenty, and as
a result he will on Monday inaugurate
free delivery and collections over d
much wider extent OF territory than
ever before.
Heretofore the free postal delivery
has been confined to the city limits
proper and Fulton, which is station
of the Wheeling postoffice. On and
after Monday the free delivery will be
extended from Forty-eighth street
south to Boggs' run, taking in all of
upper Benwood, and from Fulton east
along the National Road as far as
Pleasant Valley. Boxes will be put up
In these new territories at once, and
two collections and deliveries will be
made daily. In the upper Benwood ter
ritory the mail will be distributed and
coll. .cted by carrier on foot, as in the
ciyy proper, bI. Gut the pike the carrier
will have one-horse mail wagon,
built especially by Massillon, o., man
ufacturer for this work, and approved
by the department. This vehicle is
rather a queer-looking affair, with the
shafts on the wrong end, as it is open
behind instead of in front, the general
effect being that of buggy with the
horse hitched behind. 1t is admirably
adapted to the intended purpose, how
ever, and the occupant can either sit
or stand, as he may elect, while he can
enter or leave the wagon with the
greatest facility. The names of the
three new carriers are Charles H. Muir
rims, George Buerckseurmer and 0. j..
Terry, but they had not received their
assignments yesterday.
Another improvement made by the
Postmaster, which will also go into eff
feet Monday, will be an increase in the
number of city deliveries. Sections of
the city which have heretofore only
had three deliveries per day will here
after have five, which will greatly ia
cilitate the handling of local mail, and
will give the city far better service
than it has heretofore enjoyed.
The free delivery and collections out
along the pike, really a part of the
city, will be decided public benefit,
and will be appreciated to the fullest
degree by citizens residing in the terri
tory between Fulton and Pleasant Val
ley.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF Figs

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF Figs
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
ali the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA F1e SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions~of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without Irritating or weaken

A. HARD FAMILY.
Mrs. Fuller says the Board has had

since December. 1885. In 1855 Eisenbaur,
the father Of the girl was shot by his
step-father-in-law. while trying TO act as
