tering the house of colOred family
named Nuzum, who reside at the upper

learned that a woman answering the des-
cription of the one he had seen had gone
over to Bridgeport late Thursday night

clue, and he Immediately went to work
ON it.

Yesterday afternoon went over to Bridge
port and called upon Marshal Joe McCon-
naughty, from whom they learned some
points The three then went to the home
nf a coIored woman named Mrs. Lizzie
Williams and instituted 4 search of the
premises, which resulted in bringing to
light two dresses, one silk and the other
calico, which Mrs. Murray identified rs her
property. The Williams woman was then
nut under arrest by Marshal McCOnnaughy.
She did not refuse to come to Wheeling
with Officer McNichols, who brought her
over to the city, where Justice Davis gave
her a preliminary hearing, holding her for
court in the sum of $1,000, in default OF
which she was committed to Jail. Bobby

when We DemoraIize the stomach

By excuses of imprudence in eating, We cannot
hope to escape the consequences for any great
length of time. The most robust digestion must
suecumb to abuses of that important function.
But suppOsing that we have been foolish enough
to enfeeble the stomach, is the damage irrepara-
blee By no means. The dyspeptic has only TO
do two things TO insure his ultimate recovery
First he should adopt an easy digestibie diet
Second he should use with regularity and persist
ence HOStetter's stomach Bitters, the leading
gastric inyigorant Of the age. The multiform
symptoms OF dyspepsia, and the almost invaria-
Div attendant disorders. biliousness and con-
stipation, will aSsuredly cease TO persecute the
sufferer II the above advice Is attended 10. Who
that has suffered the torrents that chronic ipdi-
zestion inficts win neglect 10 take advantage of
a remedy which, If the most positive evidence
OF the medical profession and the public Is TO be
received with due eFedepee, is an absolute spe-
eife for the complaint.
