LICENSES GRANTED.
Twenty Four BenWood Saloonists
Granted Licenses by the Marshall
County Court Yesterday---The Fact
Predicted in the Register Two
Weeks Ago.

Yesterday the Marshall county
court considered the applications of
twenty-four Benwood saloonists for
license and decided to issue licenses
to all those who had applied. After
this action of the county court other
saloonists are expected to make appli
cation. The charge for the licenses
will be $3.50 per annum. A quarter Of
the license money must be paid by
next Tuesday No applications were
received from McMechen or Mounds
vile. as neither of these places have
granted city licenses.
The action Of the county court veri-
fies the publication, printed exclusively
in the Register two weeks ago, that
the licenses would be granted, as the
Benwood dealers had been assured
that the county court would grant
them at the next session. This publ
cation caused something of a sensa-
ton and the other Wheeling papers,
and the country daily at Moundsville,
vehemently denounced the Registers
statement as false. This all goes to
show that the Register always prints
the news first, and is the only paper
that gives its readers reliable news
about what is happening in the neigh
borhood. II would be Well for the fos-
silized editor of the Moundsville Echo
to wake up from his Van Wrinkle sleep
and fad out what is going on at his
own home

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
a rieasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cur
fnr

Pleasant Simple. But Safe Erectual Cure
for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
oeen considered the next thing to in
durable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
ploatlng sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
rlslngs, formation Of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
dllncult breathing; headache tickle ap-
petlte, nervousness and a general play
ed out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror OF the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
winch causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
10 ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach
10 secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing
to do, and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is the use
after each meal a tablet. composed of
Diastase, Aseptite Pepsin, little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
being patent medicine, can be used
witt fof1
healthy appetite and thorough diges
ton will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
St, Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom, passing backward into the
throat, reaches the stomach, thus pro-
duclng catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of stomach without
cure, but to-day | am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. | cannot find
appropriate words to express my good
feeling.
I have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the SIM
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart

be found at all drug stores.

The strike at the Benwood plate
mill still remains unsettled. The mill
was idle yesterday and the helpers de-
clare they have not weakened in their
determination to remain out. 1t seems
that they are depending upon the
heaters and other employees to remain
out with them through sympathy, but,
judging by an expression from one of
the heaters yesterday, this is not like
ly. He said that the heaters would
very likely go to work whenever the
company gets ready to start the mill,
even Il they do SO with new men in
place of the striking helpers.
The evening paper made itself ridc-
ulously funny yesterday by asserting
that the helpers at the plate mill had
struck because they had an opportun-
ity to make more money through
working six heats instead of five If
the BenwOod reporter of the evening
paper is foolish enough to believe all
he writes he certainly can not expect
any person else to believe such rash
statement. The helpers would not be
inclined to give up their jobs so hast
lily as long as there was prospect of
more money in sight. Instead of more
money the helpers figure that by being
paid by the ton at the rate which the
company agreed to pay, they would
make considerably less. The first
helpers get $500 a day under the old
scale, whereas, they figure that they
will make not more than $1.60 a day
on a tonnage basis. The second help
ers got S175, and the third man $3.50,
and these employees will be reduced
proportionately. The only persons
who will be benefited by the change
are the heaters, who will get paid for
six heats instead of five, but the heat
ers say that this will be only temper
airy, for as soon as the company gets
the helpers and day men on the ton
mage scale they will make a general
reduction which will affect them as
well. These facts are understood by
all the men employed at the plant, who
have several times expressed their APP
probation of the manner in which they
have been reported through the col
umns of the Register 1t has been
the only paper that has furnished any
reliable information concerning either
the plate mill or steel workers reduc-
tion 1t published exclusively yester
day the account Of the strike, and on
Wednesday gave a true report of the
events of the day before.

Royal Tribe Meets and Elects Prominent
Men for Oficers.
The charter members of the Royal
Tribe of Joseph met last evening in
McLain's Hall, where the new lodge
was duly instituted by Col. R. B.
Vowel, supreme organizer. The rit-
ualistic work is founded upon the
beautiful life and character of Joseph,
and is very refined and impressive,
presenting valuable lessons in prac-
teal manner without any unpleasant
or undignified features.
The fraternal features are promi-
nent. The plan Of insurance is a new
departure in the insurance world. This
new society seems to have taken adj
vantage of the experience of the pio-
neer fraternal orders which has proved
such a blessing to the widows and or
phans in the past. The prominence of
the charter members alone is sufficient
to inspire confidence in the society.
and Judging from the commendable
start they have made this order is des-
tined to be one of the most prominent
fraternal societies in the city.
The election of officers last night
resulted as follows: Past Worthy
Patriarch. C. P. Flick; Worthy Patri-
arch, John p Wilson; Vice Patriarch,
VIM. D. Mccoy: Priest, Rev. c. E.

parlance, is known as Thlmble

this occasion brought her own thimble
and particular pet piece of fancy
work, and while plying her needle
engaged in pleasant conversation with
other members of the party. How
much work was done, or whether
tongues or needles did the most execu-
ton, the reporter sayeth not, but OF
one thing he is assured and that is
that all went home well pleased with
the afternoon entertainment.
