FEAST OF HANUhAH

Being Celebrated by the Hebrews in
This City.
Commencing at midnight, and con-
tinuing for eight days, the Hebrews of
this city will observe the feast of
Hanukah, concentrating the victory
of the Maccabees over Antiochus, King
of Syria. This evening the regular
weekly service will be held in the Syn
agogue, but special music will abe rem
dered by the choir, composed of Misses
McGranahan. Land. HERMAN. Stein
Mrs. Rice. Mrs. Baer, and Mr.. Chas.
Zulauf, Mr.. James Perry, organist.
Rabbi Harry Levy will preach a patri-
otto sermon, on Right Makes Might"
The most elaborate service will be
held Sunday evening. 1t will be con-
Quoted by the children of the congrega-
ton, divided into classes. The volun-
teer choir will render the music, and
the organist will be Mr.. Edwin Kline.
After the service the children will be
given a treat.

denis window. The injured member
is the left leg, and the shoe found was
the left one also. The circumstantial
evidence in the case certainly points
to Carrington's guilt. Liuet Ingram
was detailed to guard the prisoner and
about p. m. he was removed to the
jail
To Chief Bennett, Darlington said
that he was drunk and had injured his
leg by falling on Eleventh street. A
cut and bruised mouth he attributes
to fall on his own door step.
Officer Gardner saw him at Logan's
drug store, corner of Main and Elev-
enth street, sometime near 2 o'clock,
just shortly before the assault was
committed, and at that time Gardner
alleges nothing seemed to be the mat
ter with his leg.
There is whole in the
pavement with cellar win
dow in it below Mrs. Harden's
window, and it is the opinion of the
authorities that he fell into this hole
and sustained the injuries mentioned
above. Darlington also said that Mrs.
Harden had always been kind to him
and he would not harm her for any
thing. This much is evident: Car
ringtons wife worked for Mrs. Har-
den for many years, up until Septem-
Der, when she was discharged. Car
rington also worked at odd jobs
about the house and knows the house
from top to bottom. He, too, was dis
charged by Mrs. Harden for not doing
his work right. Judging from these
facts, Mrs. Harden's relatives suspect
Darlington of the brutal deed and
claim that his intention was MUIR
der.
Last September two attempts were
made by some unknown party to en-
ter Mrs. Harden's room, and one more
the Register. Darlington has been
the attempt last week half tea towel
was found at the bottom Of the stairs
twisted into a string. The authori-
ties have, evidence with which they
hope to conv1ce Darlington.
Darlington will be given a hearing
berore Squire Rogers this afternoon
at o'clock in the Jail.

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN 1EEDI-
CINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and StOm-
ach Troubles.

Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and StOm-
ach Troubles.
DR.. Wurth in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets. the new stomach
remedy; / say far reaching, because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Bright's
disease, diabetes, nervous prostraIiOn,
liver troubles; why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
in our bodies is created and nOurished
from the food we eat. II that food is,
by reason of a weak stomach, COM
PEELED to lie for hours, a sour, ferment
ing mass of half digested food 1t poi
sons the blood and nervous system,
creates gas which distends the stomach
and bowels, causing pressure on the
heart, lungs and other organs, and
seriously impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart,
nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the stom-
ach, the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion
and weak stomachs is not some cathar-
tic, but a remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice,
absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will accomplish exactly
this result in any case OF stomach
trouble because these tablets are COM
posed of the digestive acids, aseptic
pepsin, Golden Seal and bismuth,
pleasant to taste, and not being pat
ent medicine, can be used by anyone
with perfect safety. | believe Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form
of indigestion and stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer of stomach.
Full size packages Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists
at so cents, or by mail from F. A.
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. A book
on stomach diseases together with
thousands of testimonials will be sent
by addressing above or call on your
druggist for them.

Home con a Furloueh from Manzanillo,
Cuba. ~
DR.. Clyde Ford, surgeon of the
Fourth Regiment U. S. Vol. Immunes,
with rank of First Lieutenant, arrived
home yesterday on a furlough which
will extend until January list. Lieut.
Ford recently stood an examination be-
fore the Board of Surgeons, for the reg
ular army service, and expects to take
his commission back with him. Tie
Fourth Regiment embraces Capt. A. A.
FranZheim's company from this city
and vicinity. 1t is stationed at Man
zanillo, Cuba. ~-i'N
Lieut.. Ford states that Manzanillo
is, in his opinion, the best station in
Cuba. 1t is a city of from 5000 to 10,-
900 inhabitants, well located, and des-
tined to become one of the most prom
inent cities in Cuba. He states that
all the Wheeling boys are enjoying
good health, and are well satisfied.

MIR. CLARK'S VIEWS.

At banquet given in ST. Louis.
Grand Chief Conductor Clark, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, made
an address in which he showed that
the attitude of railway wege- earners
is unalterably opposed to ticket scalp
able inroads upon the earnings of the
railroads. He urged that it is against
public morals and public policy, anc
the railroads are therefore entitled to
legislation which will protect them
against it.

Col. A. 7. BLISS, OF Saginaw, has
"a scheme for taking care OF the pen.
sions granted TO veterans of the
civil war, which he believes, il
thoroughly worked out, would solve
the problem to the satisfaction OF
the public and pensioners. His
idea is to get rid OF the prevailing
criticism of pension methods and at
the same time do justice to the old
boys in blue. Col. Bliss would re-
lieve the present generation of fur
thcr burdens in this Correction and
compel the future citizens Of this re-
public to pay their share towards
the maintenance of the nation S de-
tenders during the rebellion. He
would have the government issue
bonds sufficient to cover all pension
expenses and to run fifty years, the
proceeds to be used for that pur-
pose only. "These bonds, " said the
colonel, would find ready purchas-
ers at as low n rate Of interest rs
per cent, / believe, and my idea
would be to run them out in de-
nominations so small that every per-
son of moderate or small means
could invest ] believe the people
would take them quickly. 1t seems
to me this plan is so valuable as to
deserve the attention OF our law
makers. have not as yet given it
detailed attention, but shall elabor-
ate my ideas and present them to
the annual meeting Of the past COM
manders Of the Michigan Grand
Army at Grand Rapids. Col.
Bliss says the scheme is not entirely
original with him, but the central
idea was presented to him recently
