THE ELECTRIC LIGHT BILL.
1t Has Passed the House and Will
Probably Go Through the Senate.

Probably Go Through IN Senate.
The passage by the House of Dele
gates, yesterday, of the bill enabling
Wheeling to enter the field of electric
commercial lighting will be hailed with
great satisfaction by all but a very few
of our people. "a limited number of
gentlemen, interested in the existing
Company, will regret the action of the
blouse and the probable action of the
Senate, but their sorrow will rest N
tirely upon a financial basis, and will
not be shared by many. The bill rec
titles the wrong done the people of
Wheeling generally by Council upon
two occasions, and will ensure to the
light department rights and privileges
which should never have been given
away under any terms, much less with
out compensation, and will in years to
come prove of the greatest benefit to
taxpayers. With the bill a law, as it
probably soon will be, it will only re-
main for Council or the Gas Board I'M
der the authority of Council, to add
incandescent machinery to the already
complete and valuable arc light plant
and give patrons the choice of elGner
gas or electricity at q more reasonable
rate tnan the latter now costs. The
people have lost hundreds of thousands
of dollars through the error of Coun-
Gil in granting electric franchises in
diametric opposition to a most valu-
able and paying public investment.
The decided probabilities are that the
Legislature will rectify what may be
mildly called a mistake, after many
years of effort to bring about the de-
sired result. The course of the meas
ure in the lenate will be watched with
the greatest interest, and particularly
by retail business men who have stiff
electric light bills to meet.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles OF plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system e~ffectually,
~dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling
to overcome habitual constipation per-
m~anently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
n used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
