Western youths no longer go In great
numbers to the older institutions of the

MOvIM0 EASTWARD.

Ono of the surprises Of the next dc.
cennial census may be the discovery
that the national center Of populat ion
has moved eastward FOR the first time
since the government was formed. The
State censnscs taken last year indicate
that the Fast Is growing more rapidly
than the West. In the five years since
1880 Massachusetts gained In popnla-
ton 2'i2.MHD, or III per cent. The gain
of New Jersey In the same period was
$4,000. or 15.I per cent, Iowa's cor
responding gain was 10000. or 10 per

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery for
Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. F. l. Bell, highly esteemed
minister residing in Wsedsport,, Cayuga
Co., n. Y, in recent letter writes as
follows: There has never been any
thing that l have taken that has reliev-
ed the Dyspepsia from which have SUI
fered for ten years except the new rem
edy called Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Since taking them l have had no distress
at all after eating and again after long
years can sleep well. Rev. F. l. Bell,
Weedsport, n. Y, formerly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because il seems to act as
thoroughly in old chronic cases Of Dys-
pepsia as well as in mild attacks Of in
digestion or biliousness. A person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach is
overworked all il wants is harmless,
vegetable remedy to digest the food and
thus give it the much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success Of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy is
given no, only to the stomach but to ev-
cry organ and nerve in the body. A
trial of this splendid medicine will con-
vince the nose skeptical that Dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles can be cured.
TIE tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., of Marshall, Mich, but so
popular has this remedy become THAI
SJuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can now be
obtained at any drug store at so cents
per package. Send for book on stomach
diseases free.

urday.
Mr.. Edgar Stewart. of the West Vir-
ginia University, is here perfecting ar
rangements for the big football game at
the base ball grounds on Saturday after
noon between the University and Lafay-
cite College teams. The Lafayette team
kept Princeton from scoring a few days
ago and will take front rank among the
crack teams of the '96 season. The Uni
versity team, which viii best be remem-
bered because of the good showing it made
against Washington and jefferson here
last year is stronger than 1t ever was,
and will prove n worthy contestant with
Lafayettes strong eleven.
Doggy" Trenchard, who is best known
in football circles as Pruceton's famous
half back, has been coaching w. V. L.
since the first of September and predicts
that the team will cover itself with glory
this year
on Thursday the teams play AT Fair
mont and on Friday at ParKersburg. The
results will be eagerly watched by the lo-
cal sporting public. The two cities
named are preparing TO give the teams
big crowds and warm receptions. Wheel
ing should do likewise ana should put on
the old gold and blue colors and go out
to whoop it up for w. V. L.
The manager of the University team has
gone to big expense to get this game for
Wheeling and his efforts should be re-
warded by a big attendance AT the game
which will easily be the best of the sea-
son in Wheeling.
