Do You Want to be a Martyr2

Probably not! But If you do, try and get
the dyspepsia by unwise feeding. Then you'll
suffer mart vrdom with vengeance! some
people are martyrs 10 this complaint from
childhood to the grave, suffering from ali lts
attendant no rrorS OF heartburn, wind ana
pain in the stomach, weary slumber and
nightmare, capricious appetite, nausea. BILL
business leanness and sallowness. No neces-
sty for all this. The complaint, obstlnat as
n is. when the ordinary remedies are brought
TO bear upon II, invariably yield to the great
stomachic, Hostetter's stomach Bitters,
which restores tranquility to the gastric re-
gion and nerves, regulates the liver and
bowels, both of which are disturbed by weak
ness of the stomach, and promotes appetite
and an increase OF flesh. That "tocsin OF the
SOUL" the dinner bell, when 1t peals upon the
ear suggests no premonition OF dire qualms
after a comfortable meal If you have tried
course of the Bitters, which also banishes
blliousness, rheumatism, nervousness, ma
laria and kidney trouble.

Charles Doran, business man Of
Glendale, Ohio, took a pinch of snuff
tor a cold. So severe was the sneezlng
which followed that the inferior oblique
muscle of the left eye was ruptured.
As he continued to sneeze the exertion
forced the eye out of its socket. Mr..
Doran say he felt as if something had
broken in his head. With his right
eye hanging down his cheek, DR..
Heady replaced the eye and applied
a lotion to the muscle. The eye was
then bandaged so that it could not fall
out again. DR.. Heady believes the
eye is not destroyed.

Some Chicago Election Bets.

Some queer bets were made on the
election in Chicago. Jacob uelbing,
of SO North Halstead street, being an
ardent Mckinley man, agreed to car
~ a hand organ and monkey around
for half day and play the instrument
and solicit pennies if the honest mon
ev man was defeated. Abidah Good
win, of rs Forestville avenue, prom
ised to push his neighbor's twins in
their perambulator along the sidewalk
for two hours, while on his back will
be pinned a sign, "a Good Thing if
Bryan was elected. Mrs. James Ne
Arthur, of 1888 North Halstead street,
will chop all the kinding, make the
fires, bring in all the coal and take out
and sift ali the ashes for a year, hay-
ing bound herself to do this if McKin-
lev was elected. Mr.. Macarthur, who
is sound money man, had agreed, if
Bryan was elected, to do all the rough
washing and ironing for the same
length of time.

THE REGISTER has the satisfaction
of knowing that it served well what it
believed to be the peoples interest in
the campaign just passed. 1t was
faithful to the Democratic party and
had no compromise to make with its
opponents. 1t is a source of consider
able pleasure to us to have had the
assurance of many prominent Demo-
Gratis that our work was appreciated
by the party, while even the Repubh-
cans say that they have no complaint
against a square fight, such as has
been made.

City, Va, committed suicide by shoot

Mr.. Allen was a bachelor, ffty-twO

acted as Judge of election Tuesday and
went to bed that night without waiting
the returns, saying he was feeling badly.
No cause is assigned for his act.

Four years more of hard times.

money shark to devour the helpless.
-Four years more Of low prices and

Four years more Of increased feder-

A RECENT dispatch from Washing
ton to the New York World says:

Postmaster General Wilson has stated
emphatically that he would under no
circumstances accept the chief justice
ship of the Court of Claims, recently
made vacant by the death of Judge
Richardson, even if rendered him by the
President. 1t had been regarded as a
practical certainty that Mr.. Wilson
would be the Presidents first choice for
the posi-. ion 1t is understood that he
prefers to re-establish his law practice,
and possibly resume his old place in the
House, rather than be side-tracked in a
life office paying but $4,000 per year.
From what district could Mr.. Wilson
be again elected to Congress? There is
certainly no district in West Virginia
where he could get a corporal's guard
unless, indeed, he takes the short
final step and joins the now numerous
army of McKinleyites.

that Mckinley had an overwhelming

may be reduced. If Bryan had car

secure the face of the envelopes hearing
almost illegible scrawls after they have
been delivered to the owners. These have
been pasted in his sketch book and he
truthiully has named them sketches from
unknown artists. He never asked who
wrote the letters or addressed The en-
velopes and never knew.
The fame of his little book has Travelled
afar and two artistic landscapes adorn
its pages. WHO these came from ne does
not know. Some one had taken Il postal
card and. on the back of it painted a

taken the same kind of Il canvas and ON

dressed his postal to Mr.. CHARLES NJ.

but such a suspicionis baseless. They laugh

1t is a treat to look through 1t and many
