A PECULIAR SITUATION
Which Has Developed in Local Politics in

A very peculiar situation has developed
in Martins Ferry with reference to the
position of City Solicitor.

Ernest b. Smith (Rep) were candidates

ed a resolution declaring that no vacancy

ton last Saturday. nominated John f.

THE OLD WAY

" Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion b
Dieting Dangerous and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it
is a very common one at present
time and many dyspeptics and ply
sicians as well consider the first
step to take in attempting to cure
indigestion is to diet, either by Sc
lecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to greatly diminish the
quantity usually taken, In other
words, the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first es-
sential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proven time and again, but
still the moment dyspepsia makes
its appearance course OF dieting
is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t IS
foolish and unscientif1c to recon-
mend dieting or starvation to a
man suffering from dyspepsia, be-
cause indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is
abundant nutrition, well cooked
food and something to assist the
weak stomach to digest it. This is
exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases
of dyspepsia, in other words the
patient eats plenty of wholesome
food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's digest it for him. In this way
the system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or
not. One of these tablets will di-
gest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
purest and safest remedy for stom-
ach troubles and every trial makes
one more friend for this excellent
preparation. Sold at so cents for
full sized package at all drug
stores.

A BEN WOOD MAN
Adjudged Insane by Squire Lacey
Yesterday Other Notes of Interest
From the City of Mills.

In Squire D. A. Lacy's court yester-
day, Mrs. Ressecker swore out warrans
against Frederick Ditemore, charging
him with insanity. From the evidence
it was discovered that Ditmire's was
one of the most dangerous forms of in
sanity. 1t would come on him in spells.
During these spells he would do things
OF which he would afterwards deny. He
was adjudged insane and committed to
Jail until an attendant from the State
Hospital for Insane can come and take
charge of him.

WAS LARGELY WRONG.

largely misleading. The directors were

tt Fire Committee was authorized
to expehd $1oS for six recepticles Tor

The Committee on Petitions and Re-
monstrances reported the application
of Angie Strong, for a coffee house IL
Cense, without recommendation. Mr..
Fitzpatrick moved that the APP
plication be referred back. The
chair said the report was not
in proper shape, and had rule
32 read. which specified that reports
should be made in writing, signed and
accompanied by a resolution recon-
mending action. Mr.. Healy said the
committee was constituted for the
purpose of investigating matters and
reporting something definite for the
guidance of Council. On a motion to
refer back, Mr.. Weisgerber said he OPP
posed a motion to refer, because that
mad been the course for some months
and years, and there was no use IN
going through that foOlishness again.
The chair said the committee evidently
desired to shirk it's duty, and in de-
ing this had made an improper report.
The rule of Council was plain. Mr..
Fox said the committee well knew
what it sh Id do, and yet was putting
the matter off on Council, to which the
chair added that the committee had
evidence before it which the Council
did not have, and so could not act as
we'll as the committee.
The matter went back in a hurry,
with instructions to report something
defRite.
Later, Mr.. w. P. Robinson, counsel
for Miss Strong, presented a paper,
denying the charges made before the
committee, asking for full investlga-
ton and withdrawing the application
for a license until such lnVesuga-
ton could be made. This was referred
to the same committee.

RIcH STRIKE IN oLE-ELUM NINE.
Body Of Free Milling Gold Ore A..
saying $500 Per Tom Uncovered.

Special Dispatch to the Post InteIligencer.
ROSLYN. Dec. 26--Without doubt the
richest strike ever made In Kfttitas county
was made in the Cle-Elum district last
week by well known mining man, Rob-
ert Young In the Elizabeth mine. This
mine IL located at the foot of Hyas lake
and near Fish lake about thirty-three miles
from here. He has been pushing develop
Ynent work on this property continuously
for the past four wears and had driven ono
tunnel 100 feet without striking ore In pay
ing quantities until last week he came up
on great body of free-milling gold ore
that the most conservative pronounce very
rich.
II runs $500 to the ton and has every in
dication OF permanency. It is so soft It is
very easily mined and will without doubt
prove q bonanza to the owner. Nothing
has ever been found In this county equal
to It. As there are several other quite well
developed properties lying near the Eliza
beth It Is thought their tunnels will sooc
penetrate the same ore body.
Mr.. Young's find is attracting great deal
