WORLDS FAIR CONGRESS,
You Know What Great Good
It is Doing?
WISE MEN AGREE.
Discovery of the Real Cause of Most
PhysicaI Troubles-science Has Re-
vea,od the Source of Happiness.

zone Of the most important subjects be-
fore the Worlds Congresses In Chicago
has been the great cause Of the physical
trouble Of the civilized world today"
The speaker was a prominent man from
abroad. Continuing, he said: From all
parts Of the universe the testimony has
flown in, and it is overwhelmingly 10 the
effect that some form of kidney or liver
difficulty, commonly known as Brights
disease, is at the root OF the majority oil
evils that are affecting mankind. In past
years il was q vexed question as TO what
this disease really was, aud it seemed TO be
q settled question that 1t could not De
cured. But modern investigation ana SCI
ence came to the relief, and what had not
heretofore been done chemical discovery
accomplished. There were mer and wo-
men who died prematurely from nnumer-
able causes. all of which could be traced 10
the one source, and there came up from aIl
the land, indeed, from the entire world, q
great cry for help from the great evil
which had become Q, worldwide danger.
at was in the midst OF this condition OF
things that the great discovery was made
which has become to-day the best known
and most popular discovery in It's line ever
known to the world. IL is known as War
ner's Safe cure, and il has accomplished
moro for the world than any other medical
discovery heretofore known. In the evil
dence submitted were several thousand
cases in both Europe and America where
men and women in the advanced stages OF
Bright's disease had been entirely cured
and were well TO day. In writing upon this
subject one OF the leading professors in q
New York Medical College says:
'In severe cases Of Bright's disease,
where all other remedies and treatments
failed. | have effected permanent cures
with Warmers Safe Cure. Furthermore, |
am convinced that in all ailments where
the blood is in an unhealthy condition and
the general health impaired, the advantage
gained by the use of Warmers Safe Cure
is remarkable"
The influence of the Worlds Congresses
in Chicago upon the welfare and happiness
of the world cannot DO ov~er-estlmated.
They are certain TO set forward civiliZa-
ton and 10 aid mankind, and not the least
advantage is the fact thot these great men
have so unhesitatipgly stated that infiam-
nation of the kidneys, leading to Bright's
disease and causing the annoyances TO
which women even more than men are
subjected, is the seat of most Of our na-
tional physical trouble. With this truth
clearly In mind, it is cause for great graft
tude that so grand a discovery has been
made for certainly couhteracting this most
baneful OF diseases. II is for this reason
that we congratulate our readers upon the
action which has been taken by the great
Worlds Congresses in Chicago.

HELeIUm,s -ExFERIsEENT.

Under her PEW constitution Belgium
will try a XSther startling experiment
in the way Of suffrage. which has been
RESTRICTED for sixty years. She will give
a votsfto every male citizen Of twenty
fyeY A married man who pays taxes,
on tax-paying bachelor Of thirty-hve,
Ahbe entitled TO an extra vote. A
Ntiz9p Of independent means, possess
ing a Certificate Of high education, or
who hollis or has held a public Office Of
a certain rank viii have a third vote.
Accordlng,to an exchange, # is be-
loved that every husband will place his
extra vote at the disposal Of his wife,
thus indirectly giving her the elective
franchise.
Under the new constitution the num-
Der Of votes in Belgium will leap from
$50, 900 TO 1900, 600. This enormous
increase, together with its peculiar
features, is calculated to work some
startling changes. A well-equipped
Belgian will be able to cast a vote on
election day just after breakfast, and if
he feels greatly interestedaiu the'cam-
paign he can stick 10 another vote at
dinner time, and still another on his
way home to supper.
When the voter feels muddled over
q big question he a go TO the polls
like a man and put in " votss-one
on each side Of the issue. lie a pair
OF with himself, nullify his first indi-
rect vote, and make sur Of being in
the right by standing ~sQuarely on "
platforms.
The Belgium system would be a God
send to some Of our United States
Senators.

Will Be MURDER
A TERRIBLE AFFRAY At BENWOOD, LAST
EVENING.
Isaac LitlsiOn Rips Up Jacob Slitner With
Knife, Making Four Terrible
Wounds.

Jacob Slitner and Ike Littleton, two
mill men living in BenwoOd. became
involved 10 a quarrel about 6:3o o'clock
last night, during which the former re-
ceived four ugly wounds from q knife
in the hands of the latter and will prob
ably die, thus adding another to the list
of murders which have occurred in
Marshall county during the past year.
Owing to the fact that there were
no witnesses to the affair, it is hard TO
learn the details Of the fight. From
what could be a~scertained last night 1t
appears that the two men became en-
gagged in a fuss about the time men
toned, just below the Wheeling Steel
plant, in the lower part Of the town.
What caused the quarrel, or what
passed between the two men,
cannot be learned. Il was some time
later, when DasSers-by were attracted
TO tho spot by the cries Of the injured
man.
They found him lying on the ground,
and beside him a pool Of blood. The
weapon used to do the cutting could
not &c found, and the assailsnt
had made good his escape. Slit
ner was picked up and carried
to his homa near by. Drs. Mcdonald
and ArmbrechJ were summoned imme-
diately and responded promptly. An
examination Of his injuries revealed
the fact that he was cut la four places.
The two most dangerous wounds were
In the abdomen and breast. The
former was several inches In
length, and the latter completely
severed a rib. The mans body pre-
sented a shocking sight. 1t was not
long until he lost Consciousness, and at
no time was he in condition to give an
explanation Of the causes leading to the
assault. The physicians remained at
his bedside, and did all that vas posi-
BILE TO relieve his suffering.
At two o'clock this morning a tele-
. phone message from Benwood stated
that the physicians expressed the opin-
ion that he would be dead before day
light.
The police were Immediately notified
OF the affair and the news spread like
wildfre and created intense excitement,
as both men are well known in the COM
munity. Officers were at once sent
to the home of Littleton, but
it was stated by members Of the
family that he had not been seen since
supper. The police Of this city and
Bellairo were also notified, and fur
niShed with a description Of the man,
but at the hour of going to press no
clue as to his whereabouts had been
found.
Slitner is about 80 years Of age and
unmarried. He lives In Benwood,
where he is well known, and is en-
ployed in the pudding department Of
the Riverside Iron Works.
Littleton is about the same age, mar
ried, and has several children. He is
employed as a cupola man in the River
side steel works.

ADJUSTMENTS.
TIL MUSEE.

Better than the best, il possible, is
the show at the Musee this week. A
genuine Albino Indian, hair as white as
snow, fair face and blue eyes, is a most
wonderful attraction. Little Dot is in
deed the queen OF all snake charmers,
while Chas. Carter entertains with the
ease of a Kellar or Hermann. "Dodg-
ing for q Wife," o ~lauRhable farce, and
Billy Johnson, the only and original
kick dancer and negro 'jubilee" singer,
keeps the audience in an uproar OF
laughter from beginning TO end.
KERRY COW" AT The GRAND.
The Grand Opera House was packed
to the doors last evening. The attrac-
ton was John S. Murphy, the we'll
known and popular Irish comedian, In
shaun Rhue," one OF the finest Irish
comedies ever presented. Erin has been
blessed with innumerable true and loyal
sons, but none of them, at least those
in the theatrical profession, a excel

and Nip and Tuck, two %pickaninny

during the last engagement, it Is sag
gested that seats be secured in advance.

ANOTHER RAUE
May be Arranged Between e. G. Nc Clel-
land aud Peter PFiddy.

Nay be arrange E. C' NC Clel-
land aud Peter Priddy.
Z. G. McClelland and the representa-
tive Of the man who challenged him for
another race with Priddy, met last
night at the REGISTER office. No race
was made owing to the inability TO
agree upon a time for the race, but the
men will meet again Thursday or Fri
day evening, when it is probable that
they will come to an understanding
and sign articles.
The first proposition Ga Priddy's side
was to run for u amount within four
weeks from signing articles. Mac"
promptly declined to wait four weeks,
giving as a reason that he was not a
cold weather man, and IL would endan-
ger his health, as well as his chances
for winning TO train in cold weather.
He would run in two weeks, or not at
all, unless the race came off In a rink.
Mac" thought four weeks would give
his opponent a big advantage, as he is
much stronger, and could stand the cold
weather.
Priddy's representative stated that be
was not authorized to make a match for
two weeks, and it vas agreed TO
wait until Priddy is consulted, and to
meet again Thursday night at the REG
IsTER Office.
McClelland again tried yesterday to
make 8 race with twelve members of
the Martins Ferry running team, but
WAS unsuccessful.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN WARS

NEW YORK, October 16.-The Herdtd's
Montevideo dispatch says: Advlces
have been received that the Brazilian
armored cruiser Sete De Selmbro,
which was bound for Rio TO join Ad-
mIral Mellos forces, ran ashore near
Praia Grande. All OF the crew es-
capped. but as soon as thep were landed
they were made prisoners by Peixotos
forces, which were stationed there.
Further details OF the bombardment
of Rio have been forwarded. The gov
eminent forces suffered heavy losses,
but the government is suppresSlng all
reports OF the casualties. Mellos' nag
ship opened the bombardment.
There was a contest for the possession
of the government workshop OF Armaco
between the revolutionary forces and
those OF the government. When Mello
realized that be could not obtain posses
sion Of them peaceably he prepared to
open fire. The bombardment was very
destructive. Many buildings were bad
ly damaged.
Residents Of the city fed in terror.
Several OF the shells from the insurg-
ents' feet struck in the heart Of the
city, killing many of the inhabitants.
A shell from the Trajedo fell in the
centre OF the city. The buildings oc-
cupied the RIO News and the American
Bible Society were wrecked. Many
foreigners were killed and wounded.
Among the buildings which suffered
greatly from the bombardment wss the
police barracks, which was situated
near the Custom House. The govern
ment forces numbered 1000 and replied
vigorously to the fire from the fleet.
The land batteries had a few old Krupp
guns mounted, and these were trained
on the ships. None of the ships were
injured.
The insurgent fleet ~bombarded Mich
teroy, DomingoS, Icarahy, and Santa
Rosa, suburbs of RIO. The fire on all
of them was destructive to property.
II Is also known that there was great
loss of live, but the facts are suppressed
by the government officials. Advices
have also been received of a sharp en-
gagement between a detachment Of the
revolutionary forces and government
troops near Pnta Da Gaia. The rebels
were short of coal for their ships and
sent a detachment 10 capture a supply
which they knew wac at this point.
The land forces waited until they got
within range and opened fire. The
contest lasted but a short time when
the land batteries were silenced. The
naval detachment then captured the
coal. Owing to English interests in
volved, complaint was made OF the at
tack TO British Minister Wyndham in
Rio. He detailed Captain Lang to make
an investigation. After close inquiry
he reported that there had been heavy
losses and that several Of the govern
ment troops had been killed in the en-
gagement. Captain Boyton, the Amer
lean who was captured by the English
war ships in attempting to blow up the
Aquidaban, is Boosting that the govern
ment paid him SO, 900 for making the
attempt.
