HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN.
CRTASE OF HEART DISEASE.
Do not be Alarmed, but Look for the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Amer
cans. are certainly increasing and wlllic
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, u
is more often the result of weak stoE-
achs. of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incura-
bic: but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
bic and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by branches of the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pheumoga
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food; there is a feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the ches;
caused by pressure of the tilStended
stomach on the heart and lungs. in
terfering with their action: hence arises
papitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisonS the blood
makes it thin and wat"rv which irri-
tates and weake1s the heart
Inc most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and t.
insure the prompt assimilation Of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals. of some safe. pleasant
and effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable harmless digestive
elements in pleasant. convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure. any form
Of stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of the tablets sold
by druggists at so cents.
Little book on stomach troubles mailed
free. Address Stuart Co., Marshall,

Special Dispatch to the f1ntelllsencer.


MoRGANTowN. W. ". Jan. e5.-
Prosecuting Attorney Lazzelle has re-
ceived in advance Of publication tho
opinion of the supreme court OF appeals
in the Musgrave murder case. which
went up To- the court from this county
three times on technicalItIes before a
now trial was granted. The reasons for
granting new trial ara based upon
the instructions given to the Jury by the
trial court. In Its opinion the appellate
court denies the soundness OF the prln-
clple laid down by the supreme court
OF Minnesota In the famous Hayward
case, respecting the treatment by n jury
of evidence wholly circumslantial. and
rrociaims In its stead the following
principle: \,
In case where the evidence Is en-
nrely 3circumstantial It Is error In the
court TO instruct the jury that circum-
stantial evidence Is often more reliable
than the direct testimony offeye wilt
nesses, and that q verdict OF guilty In
such cases may rest upon n surer basis
than when rendered upon the testimony
Of eye witnesses. where memory must
be relied upon, and where passions and
preJudices5 may have influenced them.,
rithe reason that It Institutes a COM
parison between The two kinds Of EVIL
dence mentioned and 'instrucls the jury
ns to the comparative weight OF circum.
.stantial evidence" p & 4.

The newspapers OF Denver have Just
gained a algnal Victory over the large!
advertisers otthe city. The New, York
Herald thus, reports the affair and its
settlement: Il. 5. & 4 Az X
Tho newspaper publishers were In.
formed two weeks ago that unless they.
made a reduction or 20 per cent In the
price OF display advertisements the
stores would withdraw their patronage.
The publishers held several conferences
with tho result that all contracts were
called In and cancelled. The newspn-
pcrs yesterday announced an advance
OF " per cent on the old rates. This
was moro than the advertisers expect.
cd, and prccipltatcd n break In the
ranks OF the merchants. n
At n meeting last night they decided
10 rccede md take what terms the pa
rars offered. y \ n itai
onn OF the leading business men In
speaking OF the boycott, said II cost his
firm a reduction OF from 40 to 60 per cent
IN business. IA. 81 ~ ~
The papers were backed unanimously
by the labor organizations. which de-
manded legislation making department
stores pay a license ranging from 50, 900
10 5000 a year. according to the num-
Der OF lines they carried IN stock. The
papers merely reported what was occur
ring from! day TO day among the con-
sumcts, but refraincd from any COM
ment on tho conditions. 81 "a.
This implied Endorsement OF their ac-
tion fortified the unions and led them
10 mako a moro aggressive fight than
would otherwise have been the case.
Accordingly child labor ordinances and
bills compelling the stores to provide
seats for employees and other embarrass-
ing measures were introduced In the
council, and the outlook for the mer-
chunts was anything but rosy. Z
Added to this was the action OF the
country press. which. with one accord.
took up the cudgels from the city
dn!lIes and inaugurated steps for the
election OF agcomplete! legislative ticket
based unon opposition to2department
stores. The boycotts OF unions proved
n most elective weapon. for The big
stores remained practically empty DUR
ing the fight. while the small stores that
advertised had more than they could
attend TO. Is y Il 4
The managers OF the newspapers de-
clared that they were Sighting for q
principle, contendlng that any conces-
slons to the advertisers would in. the
future place the columns. OF The papers
in the control Of men who paid for
space. q. n
They argued that this influence would
be felt In the most Objectionable form
In critical times, such as elections. when,
candidates would first have to consult
the department stores before they could
enter the race for office. On this theory
It was determined not to yield, but TO
reduce the size OF the papers and re-
tain their Independence.
One important factor In the settle
ment was the receipt OF letters from
wholesale houses In the cast, decrylng
the action OF the Denver stores and In
tlmating that unless a. truce was de-
clared the creditors would be obliged to
protect themselves. a. <

ELECTION OF SENATOR.
Mcdowell Recorder on Hon. John w.
Masonic Suggestion.

= > ! . = - :
Mcdowell Recorder: Hon. John W.
Mason. late commissioner OF Internal
revenue. publishes an open letter in the
Wheeling Intelligencer advocating a
state convention for the purpose of nom
mating candidate for United States
senator. The proposition on It's face
seems innocent enough, but It isn't.
It's loaded. -
The Republican party has not yet been
called upon to elect.the senator. When
Il Is, plenty OF time then to name the
nan. ~ u e s, ~. &. 3
II the Republican party In West yir-
gln!a had any man that stood pre-emi-
nclt among his fellows, and had by
meritorious service won the senator
ship. and there existed reason for be-
lleving thatthe legislature stood in dam
ger OF being manipulated against him.
It would then be good politics for, the
people to assemble In mass convention
and assert their choice, and insist that
candidates Cor the legislature pledge
themselves to the supportIot$ the pop-
ular choice. q
Butno such state OF affairs exists In
West Virginia. 4
It.is true Judge Goff Is the popular
1901, but he has repeatedly refused to
allow his name to be used in the mat,
ter. and we take Il that he Is sincere.
After Judge Goff II is anybody's race.
And the present occasion would be the
best tine in the world to return to
the wholesome old principle OF letting
the Office seek, the man. &
II It should happen In Its search to
strike on Hon. John W. Mason. well and
good.
There are others, however. There Is
no scarcity of timber. We have Gov.
ernor Atkinson, Hon. n. B. Scott. Hon.
Nelson Whitaker, Hon. A. W. Camp
bell. and 4 host of sothers-any one Of
them good man for the place. but no
one so superlatively good as to demand
popular convention to assist him In
beating the others. ~
A convention to nominate senator
would bring together all the Talcon-
tents and sore heads In the state, and
would be productive of no good.
1t is a good movement for Republic
cans to urge the Democrats to engage
In. We do not want In our own ranks
at present. 4
