HUNTINGTON. W. Va. Jan. 7.-Boone county
has the only woman jailer in full charge OF q
county penal institution in tho United States.
She has been in Office two months and tho
County Court which appointed her has
no reason to regret It. She has in.
stituted many reforms In the management
of the jail, and hers Is one of tho few institu-
lions which the State Prison Inspector has
found entirely satisfactory. The womRn's name
is Mary Jane Ballard. Her husband, 81. Clair
Ballard, was jailer till his death last July.
When Ballard died there was IL great scramble
among the politicians. which resulted. in some
complications that prevent d the selection OF
any OF them.
Mrs. Ballard was an applicant in a modest
way. and TO get out of the difficulty the County
Court appointed her two months n2o. Mrs. Bal
lard Ia 5 feet 8 inches tall. 81 years old, una is as
intrepid ana fearless as was her HUSBAND before
her. There is not Il man In tho county who does
not acknowledge her his equal in courage and
Workmanship.
Last week she cOolly walked into the Jail where
several desperate men were loose in tho corri-
dor and backing up to tho door, loyelled her gun
and oowed them into entering their cells, where
she locked them up, heading Oft u jail-break.

Judge Cherry yesterday delivered
Judgment in the case of the Union Re
frigerator Transit company VS.. Stephen
Lake county. The complaint stated
that the principal place of business of
the plaintiff is at Louisville and that
its business consists in furnishing cars
in which to carry perishable freight
over various lines OF railways and that
it is engaged in interstate commerce
business to and from the state of Utah
and its cars do not have any situs in
the state of Utah. 1t is then alleged
that number of its cars were assessed
for taxation for the year 1897 at an
aggregate valuation OF $1,000, and the
apportionment To Salt Lake county of
the tax was s5.76 that payment was
made under protest upon the ground
that the tax was illegal and the suit
was brought to recover back the said
tax from the county.
The defendants demurred to the
complaint and Judge Cherry sustained
the demurrer. and the plaintiff refusing
to amend the suit was dismissed. but
the ruling will be appealed to the SUI
preme court.
In the opinion the court held that
the situs of the property Isl where it Is
hahiiualiy used in the due course OF
business. The plaintiff admits in its
complaint that its cars come into and
go out OF the state and are used and
employed within the state as the ext
gencics Of it's business require.
The business of the plaintiff was not
taxed, but the instrumentalities used
within the state of Utah. by the plain
tiff, have been and in the opinion of
the court it was a legal and valid tax.
Il was not alleged in the complaint
that the property had been taxed else

The damage suit of Beaver Valley
Land and Irrigation company VS.. Will
lam II. Westfall was dismissed in the
federal court yesterday morning by the
attorneys who announced that settle
ment had been effected between the
litigants.
The suit was brought against West

chased and failed to pay for the same.
The second count of the indictment
demanded $54.500 for alleged breach of

planned by brief review of therditiga-
ton between the parties. Westfall was

the company for $50, 600. and when The
property was sold Westfall bid it in for
SIC, 200, receiving a deficiency judgment

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.
Of An Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering For
Twenty-Five Years

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimabie
LADY residing at Lynnville, Jasper coun-
~, Ia was, for 20 years, a sufferer from
Dyspepsia. and her complete restoTa-
ticn to health is SO remarkable that we
present the facts in the case for the
benefit OF our readers, many of whom
have doubtless suffered in the same
manner. and will, therefore, be inter
ested in learning how all stomach
troubles may be avoided and cured
Mrs. Skeels says: Il used only one
package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
and 1 received such great and unex-
pected benefit that l wish to express
my sincere gratitude. In fact, it has
been six months since l took the medi-
cine, and l have not had one particle
of distress or difficulty since. And all
this in the face of the fact that the best
doctors l consulted told me my case
was incurable, as | had suffered for %
years. l want half a dozen packages to
distribute among my friends here, who
are very anxious to try this remedy.
Truly YOURS.
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS."
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble, and the
reason why ii never diSaDpoints those
who need it and use it, is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it
Will actually perform. 1t is not a cure
all, and no such claims are made for
it. It is prepared for the sole purpose
of curing Dyspepsia and the various
forms Of indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dyS-
pepsia, as well as a hundred. other
troubles. When, as a matter of fact,
a remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be
prepared especially for that, and moth
ing else: and among ali the remedies,
patent nostrums. bitters, etc. so ex-
tensively advertised, you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as a cure FOR dyspepsia
end nothing else. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart company of Mar
shall, Mich, and for sale by all drug
gists, at so cents per package, and if
you suffer from any form, of stomach
arrangement or Indigestion, trial will
not disappoint you.

MANY Curious Inventors

The officials of the patent Office say
that they have never been so bothered
as curing the present fiscal year by ap-
plicants for patents whose claims, upon
investigation, prove TO have neither
novelty nor merit, and which are simply
crazy quilts. so to speak. But among
all people who investigate, and are sus-
ceptole of conviction by proof, there
can be no doubt that Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is one of the finest tonnes
and regulators of the stomach. liver
and bowels in existence. Nervous sub
jects, the bilious and malarious, those
troubled with inactivity of kidneys and
bladder; the aged. delicate. infirm and
convalescent find in this medicine a
most reliable auxiliary of health and
preventive of disease.
