MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY
Made For the Holidays BY the Firm
of House & Hermann.

The taste and ingenuity of Wheeling
merchants is evidenced during this sea-
son by magnificent displays. A strik-
ing example of originality and art in
window dressing is furnished by House
& Hermann. The Market street win
dows of their big establishment have
attracted the attention of shoppers and
pedestrians during the past week, and
at times the crowds are so dense as to
blockade the sidewalk.
particularly meritorious feature of
House & Hermann display is the
scene showing the exterior and interior
of a home, with a live Santa Claus de
scending through the chimney and
open fire place. The snow effect on tie
outside, through an ingenious mechan-
ical device, is made very realistic. The
interior of the store is deliberately and
tastefully decorated for the holidays,
and the display of Christmas goods is
made upon a scale never before at
tempted here
House & Hermann believe in the lib
eral use of printers ink. Their an
nouncements through the Register have
been great trade bringers, the firms
honest values, low prices, and liberal
credit doing the rest. Particular at
tention of readers of the Register is
directed this morning to the two full
page advertisements of House & Herr
mann, on pages II and II of this issue
of the Sunday Register.

bethany COLLEGE
WILL RECEIVE A HANDSOME BE-
QUEST FROM AN ALLIE
GHENY LADY.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT
Mrs. A. j. Walters Said to Have Left
the Institution the Sum of Five
Thousand Dollars Something
About the Condition of the Col
1ege at Present.

Prof. George Munro, of Bethany Col
lege, who will preach at the First
Christian Church to-day, was seen last
evening and in speaking of the pres
ent iourishing condition of the college,
made reference to an article appearing
in the present issue of the Christian
Standard, which will be of interest to
the friends and patrons of the inStitu-
ton.
The article referred to in the Stand
ard is as follows:
1.-THE First Christian Church in Allie
gheny has been called to suffer the loss
of two Of its aged and much-beloved
members recently. Last week Sister
A. j. Waters was called home. She
was about 80 years of age, and had been
for many months so feeble that she
could scarcely go from her room. She
lived lonely life by preference. She
had ample means, and reduced her per-
sonal expenditures to minimum,
while she gave literally to charitable
and educational and missionary enter
prises. Half her fortune of eighty
thousand dollars was bequeathed to her
surviving son and daughter; the rest
to various charities and missions. We
understand that our Home and Foreign
Societies are to receive 5000 each, and
Bethany College the same amount. She
was lifelong Christian and her change
from state TO state came peacefully.
Prof. Munro will occupy the pulpit
at the First Christian Church to-day
in the absence of the pastor, Rev.
Charles M. Oliphant, who is at Shirley
conducting a series of revival meet
ings In speaking of the f1ourishing con-
dition of Bethany College at present he
said that just as soon as Wheeling and
Bethany are connected by an electric
railway line we shall cease to hear OF
the likelihood of the removal of the
college to Pittsburg or any other point.
He also spoke of the large number CT
students attending the institution and
its great benefit to Brooke county es-
pecially. The college has been quite
fortunate of late, having received
large endowment from Mr.. McDou-
gall, in Scotland.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION


Made Yesterday ny the Circuit Court
II the Eighteenth Ohfs District.
The Circuit Court Of the Eighteenth
Ohio district, in session at st. Glars
vile, yesterday reversed the decision
of the Common Pleas Court in the case
of State of Ohio against A. j. Habig.
Mr.. Habig was indicted and convicted
for purchasing claim in the State and
bringing proceedings for attachment in
the courts of West Virginia, and was
fined $40 and costs. The case was APP
pealed to the Circuit Court on the
ground of improper admissions of evil
dence and an error in the charge of the
court The Circuit Court reversed the
lower court and set aside the former
verdict. The court, in delivering its
opinion, placed such construction on
the section of the statute under which
the Indictment was found as would
indicate that there will be no more Of
these cases brought under that section.
This decision will be hailed with de-
light by the merchants on the Ohio
side, as it gives them the privilege OF
selling their bad accounts ovt of the
State and allows the outsider to attach
wages. 1t will not only be beneficial TO
the merchant, but to the people who ara
in the habit of beating the merchants,
as they will know from now on that
they must either pay their honest debts
or have their assets attached and pay
the costs. This case was fought by At
torney w. Y. Campbell, of Bridgeport,
who has always maintained that the
higher courts would not uphold this
law, and to his credit has this decision
been handed down by the Circuit Court.

THE HEALTH HABIT

vust n Easy to Forn - Any Other
We do not deliberately form our
pet habits, but they are uncon-
sciously acquired and grow as We
grow, and by the time we learn
they are hurting us, we find them
too strong to be easily broken.
Then, why not form a good
habit, habit which will counterfeit
the many bad ones, in other words
contract the questionable habit Of
being always well.
The best health habit to get into
is to have and keep a. vigorous
stomach; if you have a healthy di-
gestion you can drink your beloved
coffee, smoke your favorite brand
of tobacco, with little or no harm;
the mischief begins when these
things are forced upon the faithful
stomach, without any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after
meals some harmless but efficient
digestive which will relieve the
stomach of so much extra work.
Nature furnishes US with such
digestives and when they are COM
bined in such a pleasant prepara-
ton as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
they give the overworked stomach
just the necessary assistance to Sc
cure perfect digestion without any
of the harmful effects of catharticS
and similar drugs.
The habit OF taking Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is as
necessary to the weak stomach as
food itself, and indeed to get the
benefit from food eaten. nothing
better and certainly nothing safer
can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's
Tablets as essential in the house
as knives and forks.
They consist entirely of natural
digestive principles without the eff
feet or characteristics of drugs;
they have no cathartic action, but
simply go to work on the food eaten
and digest it.
Take into account your bad hab-
its and the expense they entail and
then invest fifty cents in a box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see
if your Digestion for the next
month is not vastly improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store
the name of the most successful
and popular stomach remedy and
he will say "Stuart's."

FURNITURE FOR XMAS.
Some Practical Suggestions to Holt
day Purchasers.

day Purchasers.
An example of what honest repre-
sentation and fair dealing will accom-
plish in business house, is furnished
by the firm of Bruemmer & Hildebrand.
The members of the firm were well
known in the community. When they
started in business three years ago. it
was upon a very modest scale, but with
a determination to give honest values,
and to handle nothing but the best
grades of furniture. Success followed.
The trade increased so rapidly, that
the firm was required to triple its floor
space, which now amounts to 5000
square feet, occupying the three floors
of the building at the corner of Twen-
ty-second and Chapline streets.
Bruemmer e Hildebrand carry one
of the largest exclusive lines OF furni-
ture and carpets in the city. The for
mer embraces everything required in
the furnishing of a home or office, and
includes hundreds of articles which
would make most acceptable and SER
viceable Christmas presents. Their
stock Of Brussels and ingram carpets
presents many new designs which will
commend themselves TO buyers because
of the low figures, quality considered,
at which they are marked. A compar-
ison OF goods and prices by customer
invariably results in a sale by Bruem-
mer & Hildebrand.
The firm also gives strict attention
to undertaking, both members being
registered under the new State law. be-
sides having diplomas from colleges OF
embalming.
