The Result Of Imperfect Dluestioa o.

The Result Of Imperfect Dluestioa o.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs OF GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
OF Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking in
red cOrpuscles; poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright'S disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but
in weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life Is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases of indigestion is to take
after each meal, one or two Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply
in a. pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these re-
suit only from wholesome food well
digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at so cents full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price
to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich, but ask
your druggist first.

CAJCJTS TODAY

To-day the Republican members-elect
of the Board of Commissioners will
caucus to select candidates for the va
rious offices within the gift of the
Board, to be filled after the organiza-
ton at the first of the coming year.
The officers are: Clerk of the Board,
Superintendent of the County Infirm-
airy, County Engineer, County Librar-
ian, Janitor and Assistant Janitor of
the Court House, and some minor
places, including road supervisors. The
present incumbents are generally can
didates for reelection. but as usual
there are numerous outsiders. The
latest obtainable information was that
doc" Moffat would succeed himself as
clerk, and that Mr.. Hazlett will con-
tinue to be engineer. The new liorar-
ian is little hard to guess. or at least
it was last night.
Yesterday the present members of
the Board gave supper to the mem
bers-elect at the County Infirmr1y,
and report has it there was a general
good time at that asylum for the unfor-
tunate poor of the county.

ANOTHER FAST FREIGHT.

The B. G. O., on their November
change of time, added another fast
freight train between Benwood and
Grafton The train is No. SO, and
leaves Benwood at 10: 30 a. ~. and ar
rives at Grafton at p. m. This is a
fast run and is made up each day with
cars loaded with fresh meat Other
local freights on the Fourth division
do not make as good time as this one,
but No 81 from the east makes the
run from Grafton in six hours and
forty-fve minutes. This is the best
time made in the freight line, princip-
ally for the reason that it has right of
way over all other trains. Even pas
senger trains are placed in the siding
for No. 81 The company have built
up good trade between the east and
west on local freight by reason of run
ming this fast train. and they deserve
much credit for their enterprise.

discussion, during which it was evident
that the beaten Klievis men were
"sore," the caucus proceeded to make
nominations. Mr. Bradbury nominal
ed Mr.. Cline, and the nomination was
seconded by Mr.. Williams. Mr.. Miller
nominated Mr.. Klievis, and the nomi-
nation was seconded by Mr.. Meyers.
Mr.. Baird nominated Mr.. Robert Haz-
lett, it having been the understanding
among the Island members that COM
plimentary vote was to be cast for Mr.
Hazlett, and then a change made to
Mr. Cline before the result was an
nounced. This programme was carried
out When the roll was called the re-
suit was Cline, IA; Hazlett, 5; Klievis,
g. The Hazlett votes were then chang
ed to Cline before the result was an
nounced, and the ballot stood: Cline,
19; Klievis, 9. Then some of the
Klievis men made holy kick, just
what it was based upon not being
learned, and Messrs. Miller, Buoy and
Radcliff left the room before the adj
journment. Their action was after
wards characterized by the Cline men
as that of "bolters," and there were
some expressions the reverse of COM
plimentary.
The caucus adjourned at exactly nine
O'Clock, having been in session half an
hour.
After the adjournment the result was
hailed with general satisfaction, and
the prediction was made that Mr.. Cline
would make a good chief. He is one
of the Oldest fremen, having been in
the department practically since it's or
ganization on paid basis, except for
the past two or three years. He is
perfectly familiar with the apparatus,
the general status of the department,
its capacity and its needs, and has also
an understanding of the city from a
fire standpoint, and is familiar in an
unusual degree with the most of the
large buildings and various neighbor-
hoods where fire works is liable to be
cut out. The election occurs the fourth
Tuesday in December.

A SUGGESTION FOR MAYOR.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-A glance over the field has re-
vealed to the undersigned the fact that
in the Democratic folds to-day there is
man in every way fitted and qualified
to make Wheeling an admirable Mayor.
What Wheeling wants, and / dare say,
every voter, be he Democrat or Re-
publican, who has any interest at stake
will bear me out, is man, true to his
convictions, who will execute laws as
they are made, man who will make
the peoples affairs his own, a man
whom we all know and admire, and of
whom Wheeling would be proud-a
successful business man, and in every
way qualified to execute the duties as
Wheeling's Mayor, should the people
bestow this trust upon him. Not
viewing this from a partisan stand
point, | suggest Mr.. F. H. Lange, who
would look with a non-partisan eye
and govern all alike

IMPORTANCE OF CAR INSPECTORS
One of the most responsible positions
in the railroad line to-day is the car in
spector. A great many people have no
idea what men who hold these posi-
tons have to do, and for the benefit of
the public little information will .Oe
given on the subject. In the first place
the employee must examine everything
about car that is liable to break, es-
pecially the wheels and the trucks
These, of course, are the main things
about the cars and of course the in
spector must know his business. In
case any defects are found in the
at once, so that the damage can be re-
paired. The inspectors in this respect
certainly do their work faithfully, for
it can be truthfully said that it is sell
dom a wreck occurs by fault of these
men not attending to their duties. 1t
is seldom car wheels break, and it is
hardly ever that axles bend. Once in
a long while this occurs, but when they
do the car inspector is not in fault.
The men also have poor wages paid
them, and considering their RESPONSE
bility they should get more money.
A we'll known inspector told the Re-
gister man that he had been following
the business for quite large number
of years, and he had never had wreck
charged to him by reason of him not
detecting defect about either freight
or passenger car. At the end of each
division, he said, the cars are examin-
ed by competent men, so that it is
hardly possible for the cars tN break
down on the road. Many shippers,
said he, load cars beyond their capac-
ity, and before they can be sent over
the line the surplus weight must be
removed. Others do not load freight
properly, and this must be looked
after. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, the inspector has his hands
full, and he should be paid for what he
is really worth.

ICAL NEWS OF YESTERDAY.
Two weeks ago the Register predict
ed that Robert Cline would be the Re-
publican nominee for Chief Of the Fire
Department.
Robert knocked the plum last night.
He had nineteen votes out of twenty
eight members actually present, and
had the entire thirty-three Republican
membership been present. he would
have had two or three more.
Three of the Klievis men bolted the
caucus after ballot was taken. They
were Messrs. Miller, BUGGY and Rad
cliff. What they expect to gain by this
was past finding out last night, but it
is characteristic selfish Repub-
lican play, for it will be remembered
the same thing has occurred before in
the case of Eighth ward members of
the city legislature.
There are thirty-three Republican
members of Council, and of these
thirty were actually present last night
at one time or another. they being
Messrs. Beckett, Zwicker, Marschner
Kindelberger, Berry, Halter, Ebeling,

and Hazlett, the latter ar
irving at very late hour
The absentees were Messrs
Chew, Horkheimer, who was represent
ed by a proxy, and Megrail, who only
sent a verbal proxy, which was not
recognized. There was a fair attend
ance of county politicians in the lobby
before and during the session, includ-
ing County Clerk Robertson, Sheriff
Richards, City Collector James K. Hal
and several others, and quite lot Of
lobbying was done before the doors oil
the First Branch of Council were clos.
ed. Chief Klievis, Candidate Cline and
ex-Candidate Will Clator were con
spicuous about the building from sever
o'clock on until the caucus was called
to order, which event occurred about
half-past eight o'clock.
When the members had finally as
sembled in the Council chamber the
doors were closed and a. police Officer
was put on duty in the lobby to keeI
reporters away, after the time-honoret
Republican method, while Messrs
Baird and Miller, members of the eau
Gus, were sent up in the gallery to SEE
that no stray news-gatherer found his
way there. This last performance was
unnecessary and ludicrous, as the mat

are resolved into their equivalent words
in English. All this takes time.
Meanwhile Secretary Alger beari1g
of the receipt of news, had come over
from the War Department to see his
old colleague, and he waited patiantlv
for the translation. Senator Hoar q
member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, also Joined Secretary Long and
waited upon the cipher experts.
About 10 o'clock a prominent officer
gave the newspaper men a short ab-
stract of the cablegram so far as re-
ceived. This only whetted the interest
of the crowd in waiting Half an hour
later Secretary Long appeared with a
copy of the translated cipher in his
hand. There was a great rush toward
him, but the Secretary good -naturedly
made allowance for the excitement of
the crowd, and smilingly read from the
corner of the room into which he had
been forced the following cablegram:
Manila, May 1.-Squadron arrived at
Manila at daybreak this morning. Inn
mediately engaged the enemy. and de-
stroyed the following Spanish vessels:
Reina Cristina, Castillo, Don Antonio
de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba.

night, stating in his message a brief ac-
count of the days work. Instead Of
sending it Immediately by the McCuI-
loch to Hongkong he had delayed that
vessel for two or three days at least
probably to use her in the subsequent
bombardment of the town and fortifi
cations. The events of these last two
days were without doubt made the sub
ject of one or more official dispatches
which are to follow the original mes
sage
The department at 10 o'clock, after
the first message was at hand was
still receiving sheets of the cipher code
from the telegraph company, while the
cipher experts We're still at work behind
the closed doors of the Navigation Bu-
reau.
Shortly before noon Secretary Long
left the Navy Department for the White
House, and an official confirmation was
made that second dispatch from Com
modore Dewey had been received The
Secretary carried this with him to the
White House, and pending the confer
ence with the President there was in
tense eagerness among the waiting
crowd to learn the contents of the
second dispatch. Senators who. saw
the President secured brief intima-
The record-union., 1898-05-08

| ton that Dewey's victory was over
whelming, and that ne had a large
number of Spanish prisoners in his pos
session.
At 1870 p. m. Secretary Long came
from the Presidents private room with
a copy of the second message from
Dewey, but in order to give equal ia
cilities to the great crowd of people
waiting to gain information, he held it
until he reached his private office. Then
his Secretary, Mr.. Finney, brought the
message to the large reception-room,
where a hundred more anxious news
paper correspondents and curious OBJ
servers took down the dispatch as Mr..
Finney read it, 1t was as follows:
"Cavite, May 4.-Long, Secretary Ma
Wy: 1 have taken possession of the ma
val station at Cavite, Philippine ISL
ands, and destroyed it's Notifications.
Have destroyed Notifications at the bay
entrance, patrolling the garrison. I
control the bay completely, and can
take the city at any time The squad
ron is in health and spirits. The Span
ish loss not fully known, but very
heavy; $50 killed, including the Captain
of the Reina Cristina l am assisting
wounded Two hundred and fifty sick
and wounded in hospital within our
lines. Much excitement at Manila. Will
protect foreign residents.
DEWEY
Following this Secretary Long gave
out his reply to Dewey, which has been
cabled by direction of the President, as
follows:
Washington, May dewey, Man
liza: The President in the name of the
American people thanks you and your
officers and men for your splendid
achievement and overwhelming victory.
In recognition he has appointed you
Acting Admiral, and will recommend
a vote of thanks to you by Congress.
LONG"
AS the last word of the dispatch was
uttered several of the on-lookers called
for three cheers for Dewey. They were
given with a will, and the usual official
serenity of the Navy Department for
the moment was broken by a round of
cheers which fairly shook the building.

port and water battery at Cavite. The
squadron is uninjured, and only a few
men are slightly wounded. Only means
of telegraphing is to American Consul
at Hongkong. / shall communicate
with him. DEWEY"
1t was Immediately noticed that the
cablegram, as officially promulgated,
did not entirely agree with the brief
summary of its points which had been
previously given out, and the immediate
presumption was that in the short time
accorded for consideration the officials
had concluded that it was public pol
icy to expurgate the dispatch. Thus,
as made public, it contained no refer
ence to the cutting of the cable by Ad-
miral Dewey, to the fact that he lacked
men to take possession of the place,
and finally, that he had the entire bay
of Manila at his mercy.
1t was also noticed that the dispatch
bore the date of May 1st. The McCul-
loch could not have occupied more than
six days in making the short run across
to Hongkong. Therefore it was imme-
diately assumed that the above dis
patch was only the first of two or more
that had been brought over to Hong
kong by the McCulloch. In other words,
Commodore Dewey had written Sunday
