TO CURE DYSPEPS SIA.
A New Remedy Which Will Do It.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many people to be nearly, if not quite, incurable. No good reason can be given why they think so except that perhaps they have tried various remedies without much, if any, benefit. But the progress in every branch of medicine has been such that among other things lasting cure for indigestion in it's chronic form as we'll as temporary, has been discov- cred and is now plac.d before the public strictly on it's merits as permanent cure for all stomach troublas or dif1icu!- ties with the digestive organs.
 This new treatment is called Stua1t's Dyspepsia Tablets being put up in tablet form so as to be easily taken and also to preserve it's good qualities for an indefinite length of time.
 This remedy has produced surprising effects in the worst forms of indigestion, and in many cases where ordinary rleme- dies failed to give even relief, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have fully cured.
 The splendid results from using this preparation are owing to the fact that it is prepared and intended for dyspepsia and stomach troubles only. It is not a cure-all like so many advertised reme- dies, claiming Ito cure everything under the sun, but it is claimed that it is certain cure for dyspepsia, and anyone suffering from any form of indigest ton cannot fail to get permanent relief and cure from it's use.
 It is so prepared and the ingredients are of such nature that when the tab lets are taken into the stomach they di- gest the food, no matter whether the stomach is in good working order or not. sustenance and strength to mind and body by reason of the food being proper ly digested and at the same time the much abused stomach is allowed to rest and recupsrate.
 Notwithstanding the great benefits to be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, the price is but soc for full sized package and all druggists sell them.

(By Prof. j. Macdonald, Astrologen)
Within the past few years interest in
that almost forgotten science has been
revived to marked degree, and many
Of the foremost thinkers of the times
take delight in studying the influence OF
the planets On human life. The believ-
ers in astrology are on the increase, as
the Investigation of the mysteries OF
the heavens affords interesting study
for every person of intelligence, even
though he may be skeptical on the SUBJ
ject. Astrology maps out a PERSONS
life SO that they can guard against the
weaknesses that prevent the. achieve
ment of success and develope talents
that are dormant.
The science of astrology is based up
on the true nature of man and his po-
sition in the universe. The tangible
form of man is fed by the four ele
ments-water, earth, air and fire. This
cannot be denied as we see the food we
eat an1 the water we drink. We know
know of the existence Of the air we
breathe and we appreciate the fire that
warns our bodies and cooks our food.
The invisible form of man is fed by So
lar elements just as important as the
others 1t is of these astral elements
that astrology teaches.
These solar elements enter our bodies
as the air enters our lungs, acting on
thought and effort. They may even en-
ter against our will or DESIRE but we
have the power if we are so inclined to
repulse or grasp these desires and
thoughts for our benefit or injury. Man
does not create his thoughts, but fin
ishes them with the ideas he absorbs
from solar influence. The ideas which
enter his mind act on his imagination,
and the imagination reacts upon the
will.
Man is microcosm, or little world of
his own in which all the powers and
principles existing in the great universe
are reflected. AS the planets revolve in
their orbits with mathematical preciS-
iOn so each human being must follow
in the orbit he issdestined to revolve in.
Therefore by knowing his destiny, he
can avoid the dangers or obtain the
pleasure that is certainly his.
Those who desire to obtain the know
ledge of predicting future events, must
put away their passions, evil desires,
scientific, social and other prejudices
which have been engrafted upon their
minds by false education received in
an age of superstitution, or supernat-
an age Of superstition, or supernat-
the comprehension of occult things.
The principles upon which astrology
is based cannot be fully understood I'M
less the nature of the planets are real
lied. This is not the product of book
learning, nor is it attainable by a doubt
er, but must be gained by study, obser-
walton and natural talent. The follow
ing are the birthday and other predic-
lions for the coming week, beginning

WHEELING IND VICINITY
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
CHAP. |.
HOW THE SAVAGES WE'RE FOILED

|
More than a century ago, the place
where Wheeling now stands was a vast
wilderness. with the exception of few
cabins and the palisaded walls of Fort
Henry. Trees, vines and blackberry
bushes had been cleared away in places
to make way for fields of corn.
1t is of this period that we write,
when the courage of the hardy pioneer
was often brought face to face with the
willy savage of the forest.
Fort Henry was situated on the noble
bluff that overlooks the river. The
wisdom of this location is uppermost,
for thus situated an observer in the
Fort could readily discern any hostile
invasion Of the enemy from either Bel
mont county Or the Island.
One murky evening a short while
after the fierce and memorable attack
in the Fort under the leadership of the
notorious Simon Girty band of pion-
GERS were seated about the fire in care
less attitude, discussing the tariff bill.
Lewis Wetzel who was prominent in
the group, sat silently at work honing
a large bowie knife.
Suddenly he jumped to his feet and
ran to the western side of the Fort and
peered out through a knot hole. A
death like quiet came over the group.
"Injuns," whispered WetZel signifi-
cantly.
Others went and looked. Out on the
black surface of the water through the
dull gloom could be dimly seen a doz-
en- or more large war canoes filled with
Piute Indians, evidently from Martin s
Ferry.
They were steadily approaching the
Wheeling shore with muffled oars.
A council of war was quickly held.
Wetzel wanted to slip down by the
shore and sand bag each Indian IS he
stepped from the canoe, then scalp him.
NO." said Wharfmaster Norrington,
81 can save the Fort and settlement
without the least danger to any one.
Stay here and keep outlet
Before he could be intercepted, he
darted out the Fort and was lost in the
darkness He skirted along the under
brush on Main street and appeared on
the bank near the Hotel Windsor, then
quietly approached the edge of the wa
ter and waited.
The keels of a dozen canoes were
about to CRATE upon the shore, when he
said:-
Hold. no canoe can land here ex-
cept upon prepayment of one dollar
WHARFAGE"
The canoes halted, and CONSERVATION
seized the savages. In their anticipa-
ton of plumber they had entirely for
gotten about the wharfage rules
They consulted together a few mo-
ments. They had not dollar in their
clothes-in fact they had no clothes.
Fooled again!" Kissed the chief, and
the canoes turned out into the river
They padded up to Pittsburg and
slaughtered everybody in Fort Du-
quense. Thus was the settlement al
Wheeling saved.

HOW WETZEL DESTROYED THE
INDIANS.

1t has always been a matter of dis
pute among historians whether or not
Lewis WetZel acted wisely and honora-
bly, when he allured that great band of
Indians to an unhappy death in the fall
of 177S.
This history recorded for the first
time is as follows After long and
intermittant warfare the Winnebago.
Ute and Modoc Indians living at Elm
Grove, Bridgeport, Stackyard Hollow
and Triadelphia concluded to sign a
treaty of peace with the white settlers.
Lewis Wetzel was appointed by the
Fort Henry club to act for the whites.
WetZel, it must be understood. cherish
ed little love for his dark skinned
brethren, and much like Phil Sheridan,
he thought the only good Indians are
dead Indians"
After the signing of the treaty the
Indians insisted on having a pow-wow.
including bear meat, beer and old Ken
lucky Bourbon. Wetzel assented to all
this, and spoke in Modoc as follows,
which we translate from the archives
of that period in the County Clerks Of
