A VALUABLE ADDITION.
An Enterprise Which Will Materially
Augment Whesling'S Growth.
me Extensive Grounds of the
thompson Estate. East of the
City, TO Be Placed on the Market
IN the Shape Of Building Lots.
The Survey Completed-A Step
IN the Direction Of the Extension
Of the City Eastward.

LII mas long been apparent that any very
considerable extension Of the city of
Wheeling must be in the east, along the
valley of Wheeling creek and on the
general line of the National Road. and for
q long time building has been going on
there with such persisteucy that very
considerable proportion Of our business
men and others, both fairly well-to-do
and not so we'll fixed. have purchased lots
and erected residences, and have built up
quite a town, although necessarily some
what scattered. AS a result property out
that way has appreciated, and the resi-
dents call themselves citizens of Wheel
ing, and as a matter of fact are such,
although separated from the city limits
by a distance of several miles. And this
distance has been accentuated by the
wide tract Of vacant land between the
east end of Fulton and Leatherwood and
Woodsdale, largely belonging to the
Thompson estate. Heretofore this estate
has been held together, but now it has
been determined to place it upon the
market. and to this end recent surveys
were made, and the entire property cut
up into lots
The Wheeling & Elm Grove electric line
portion of the estate. between the pike
and the creek, from the east end of Full
ton 10 point opposite Stackyard Hol-
low, and along this line a street has been
laid out, with cross streets at intervals,
running from the creek to the pike. The
ground along these projected streets has
been cut up into about two hundred lots,
each fifty feet front By about one hum
dred and twenty in depth. while the high
er hillside ground has been subdivided in
TO large tracts for suburban residences.
Senator Camden was in the city We'd
nesday, and approved the subdivision
made, and the property will be offered for
sale almost Immediately. by the firm of
Rinehart & Tatum. and it is expected
there will be ready purchasers, as the
land lies so near the city. and the faci-
tiles afforded by the new electric line will
be 50 great that residences in that local
ity will be as close TO the city as those
upon the Island. while affording all the
advantages Of the country.
The sale of this land and its improve
ment will fill up the gap which has here
tofore existed between the city proper
and toe suburban residents along the
pike, and will do much to bring about
the existence in fact of that larger
Wheeling which is sure to come with the
lapse of time

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
~ ~ IOWA Lady Who Was Cured OF Dys-
Pepsia After Suffering for Twenty-Five

Pepsia After Suffering for Twenty-Five
Years.
MIS- Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co,
IOWA. was for twenty-five years a suf-
Ieltr from Dyspepsia, and her COM
pltte restoration to health is so remark
aDle that we present the facts in the
case ior the benefit of our readers,
many Of whom have doubtless suf-
tered ID the same manner and will,
therefore, be interested in learning
how all stomach troubles may be
avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeels says.
| used only one package Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and | received such
great and unexpected benefit that I
Wish 70 express my sincere gratitude.
In fact, II has been six months since
took the medicine and have not had
one particle Of distress or difficulty
since. And all this in the face Of the
fact that the best doctors | consulted
told me my case was incurable as l
had suffered for twenty-five years.
want half dozen packages to distri-
butte among my friends here who are
very anxious to try this remedy.
Truly yours.
MRS. SARAH A. SkEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are SO successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not a cure-all
and no such claims are made for it. 1t
is prepared for the sole purpose of cur
ing Dyspepsia and the various forms
Of Indigestion.
There is scarcely patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dys-
pepsia as we'll as a hundred other
troubles. When as matter of fact
remedy TO cure Dyspepsia must be pre-
pared especially for that and nothing
else; and among all the remedies, pat
ent nOstrums bitters, etc, SO eXten-
sively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the oily
one advertised as a cure for dyspepsia
and nothing else The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart Co., of Marshall,
Mich, and for sale by all druggists at
so cents per package. and if you suffer
from any form of stomach derange-
ment or indigestion a trial will not
disappOint you.

To tic Editor Of He Journal and Friends
Thinking that perhaps the people
of our acquaintance would like to
hear of us in our new relation, as
soldiers in camp, we avail ourselves OF
the courtesy Of the JOURNAL to in
form them Of our welfare through its
columns. And, first, we are pleased to
| announce that none Of US have eX-
perienced any indispostion, with the
| exception Of Frank Chapman, since
we left home Neither have we met
with any accidents of any kind to
interfere with our duties or even our
appetite, reports to the contrary are
false and misleading. 1t has been
! reported at home, we understand,
| that Freeman Russ had lost some of
his fingers. The statement was with
| out foundation in fact, and Freeman
says, he has no fingers to spare at any
price. Trey come handy in camp as
elsewhere. The report about Edward
DuSeks being shot is equally un-
founded. We are physically all right
and stand ready to Go our duty and
are anxious to fight for oar country
and will do so as long as the war shall
continue if the authorities will give
Us a chance. We are DESTROYS Of going
into the active campaign against the
Spanjards and Of being Of assistance
in securing freedom and independence
to Cuba. We five boys have stood by
each other from the first, messing
together and sleeping in the same
tent.
We consider ourselves no longer
green recruits but fairly we'll drilled
and disciplined soldiers. Hardtack
and horse beef agree with August
ornrjudging from the rotundity Of
his form aud features since he has
been in camp. Lewis Van Voorhis
and II. A. Parsons are also laying on
flesh and we all feel fine. Frank
Chapman met with a little setback
about a fortnight ago by being over
come by the heat lie is now about
over 1T, however. He is attending to
his duties as hospital Steward a part
of the time. He has been kept busy
filing prescriptions for the sick of the
regiment. There is always a number
of acute ailments in camp, and few
cases Of typhoid fever From % to
$50 prescriptions are filed daily Our
regiment is now pretty we'll equipped
and In condition to 60 to the front at
any time. Last night the colonel re-
ceiyed orders TO be ready TO march.
We may expect the order any time
now and it can come none too soon to
suit US. So we say good bye for the
present-hoping to see you all again
but If we shall get shot-We give you
our promise not to get shot in the
back FREEMAN Russ.
