There has been much interest felt

and what would happen If they were
wrecked. Mr.. Thomas Anderson, mas

his report is as follows:
One of our trains of Schoen steel
cars, 10000 pounds capacity, was going

n CAN'T BE DONE


No One Can KemAin Well. No Chroni
Disease Can Be Cured Unless the StOmac
is First Made Strong and Vigorous.
This is plain because every or
gan in the body depends on the
stomach for its nourishment.
Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are made
from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy
and neglect the most important of
all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indi-
gestion are sour risings, bad taste
in the mouth, gas in stomach and
bowels, palpitation, all-gone feel
ing, faintness, headaches, constipa-
ton; later comes loss of flesh. con-
sumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostra-
ton, all of which are the indirect
result of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indi-
gestion should make it a practice
to take after each meal one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, allow
ing it to dissolve in the mouth and
thus mingle with the saliva and
enter the stomach in the most
natural way. These Tablets are
highly recommended by DR.. Jenni-
son because they are composed OF
the natural digestive acids and
fruit essences which assist the
stomach in digesting all wholesome
food before it has time to ferment
and sour

ERAL INTEREST FROM THE
MILLS AND SHOPS.

The announcement that the National
Tube Company. which is to CONSOLE
date alls the principal plants in the
United States manufacturing that line
OF goods, is about to be perfected, mas
revived the talk that the Riverside
plant at Benwood may become an in
tegral part of the trust. An effort was
made yesterday to interview the man
agement upon the subject, but officials
authorized to speak upon the matter
could not be seen and the public is left
to surmise. A gentleman who, though
not directly interested in the River
side, is somewhat familiar with its
business, stated to a Register reporter
that he had reason to believe that the
owners of the local concern had been
approached by the promoters of the
National Tube Company and that the
proposition was at present being con-
sidered While it scarcely admits of a
doubt that a plant of the very consid-
cradle proportions of the Riverside
tube works would not be Ignored or
overlooked in the formation of such
com Dlnatlon, it is much less certain
that the company would look favor
ably upon such an alliance. The River>
side plant is a paying institution and
It's prospects at present cannot be
questioned, and for this reason d dispo-
sltion is known to exist upon the part
OF stockholders to let we'll enough
alone.

on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad The
cause of the accident is not known, but

On Monday the Register, in it's local
columns, made exclusive mention of
the car famine existing upon the sew
eral coal roads with lake connections
entering Wheeling, and assigned as the
cause the delay in clearing cars at lake
ports. Upon the subject the following
item from Cleveland is pertinent:
Ore shippers are offering 20 cents
from the head of Lake Superior and So
cents from Escanaba. Owners who
have vessels under charter to load grain
at the head of the lakes for Buffalo are
trying to have them shifted to other
ports, but they are not having much
success and most of the boats will
nave to go to Buffalo and take thair
chances on getting un1oaded Coal
men succeeded in getting a number of
boats yesterday at the old rS1es, but
cargoes are more plentiful than boats.
Shippers admit that there are large
stocks of coal at Lake Erie ports to go
forward and that a large number of
cars are tied up, but say that the con-
slgnees will not stand for any further
advance IN rates. Nearly all the large
carriers are steering clear of coal and
are being rushed up light for grain and
ore. yesterday seventeen vessels clear
ed from this port and only three Of
them took coal, and they were small
boats that loaded for out of the way
ports. Vesselmen claim that they can
get better contract rate to the head
OF Lake Superior than has been paid,
out they 90 not appear to be anxious
to tie up.

but makes the relief of General Sir
George White an extremely difficult
operation.
Colenso is the point where the rail-
way from Ladysmith crosses the Tu-
gela river. which is now in flood. The
town itself is of small Importance. 1t
is dominated by the hills on the north
side of the river. and so was untenable
if the Beers have advanced. as they
seem to have Done. Moreover. only d
small naval and colonial force was
stationed at ColenSo.
The seriousness of the evacuation.
however. lies in the fact that Com
mandant General Joebert, while COM
pletely investing Sir George White at
Ladysmith. can SEIZE this Tugela
bridge and, if he has sufficient troops.
can detach a force and send 1t south
ward on Pietermaritzburg, and. in any
case, by destroying the bridge and
railway, can prevent any relief expedi-
ton reaching Sir George White for
some time

that General Joubert will withdraw
from Natal Immediately Sir Redvers

State, but the latter carEot be far on
