EZETA PLOTTING
Ex-President of Salvador Wants a Rev
olution

Vera Cruz, Mexico, October 2S-Private
advices from Guatemala report the condi-
ton of trade there as being bad, and there
is lack of confidence in tile present con-
ditions. Another revolution is being ex-
rected. News that General Carlos Exeta,
ex-presddent of Salvador, is plotting a rev.
olution in that country mas been received
here.
Guatemala and Salvador are never on
good terms, and yet their relations are so
intimate commercially Uaat anything which
effects one republic practically influences
the prosperity of the other. The business
community Is profoundly disguised with
the political plottings which undermine all
confidence throughout Central America, and
the subs tantial people look to the United
States and Mexico to preserve them from
the plotting politicians.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Me dicine

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
PIE are apt to look Win suspicion on any
remedy claiming 20 be a radical, perma nent
cure fer dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves their astutencss
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicine.
ilhe fear of being numbugged can be car
ried 100 far, far in fact, that many
people suffer for years With weak dfges-
ton ra tner than risk little time and
money IN faithfully testing Tue claims made
OF a preparation so reliable and univer-
sally used as Stuar-s Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different I'm Ore important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines FOR
the reason 'dnat they are not a secret pat
erls medicine; no secret Is made Of their in
gredients, but analysis shows taon to con-

erfuIly on any organ, but they cure indi-
gestion on the common sense plan of di-
costing the food eaten thoroughly before
1T has time to ferment, sour and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret of their
success
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely ON the bowels,
whereas ule whole trouble is really in the
stomach
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is ali there is
to Ut. Food not digeSted or half digested
is poison as ut creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palp.ta ton of the heart, loss of flesh
and appetite and many ether troubles which
are often called by some otlrer name

Tuscaloosa, October 2S.-(Special.) 1.-The
second street fair of Tuscaloosa closed last

folks when they packed up their goods and
cJhattels and started for home. Never be-
fore has Tuscaloosa presented such a holi-

In the way of prizes, only the special

by J. M. Health, his height being feet ~
inches and his inseam measure 1914 inches.

The triumph of the vital principles of
democracy is the end desired. The party
must not be used as a mere machine to put
certain men into office Mr.. Tomlinson has

A Short Lived Sensation at Morgantown-
A Placard Attacking President Ray
mond.
Special to the Register
Morgantown, April ia discovery
was made early this morning which
may throw some light on the where
abouts of J. L. Keener, who absconded
from here some months ago with forty
thousand dollars.
This morning it was reported to the
police that some very suspicious ar
ticles were lying on the river bank in
the lower end of town. Chief Bennett
went to the spot and took charge of
them. There was a coat covered with
blood. A bloody razor lay near and a
hat with blood and hair on it was
close to the waters edge. A bloody
handkerchief was picked up near by.
A trail of blood led from where the ar
ticles lay to the waters edge.
In the coat pocket was found a
pocket-book with some cards in it. One
of these had the words written on it.,
Compliments of j. l.. Keener." An
other had the names and addresses of
several people in different parts of the
country. A newspaper clipping relat-
ing to the alleged discovery of the
Major in Mexico was found also.
The town was wildly excited when
the articles were first discovered, but
the general sentiment is that it is a
fake gotten up by some one to create
some talk and excitement.
A further Investigation will be made
of the circumstances.
On Sunday morning, when Morgan
town got up, it found pasted on all the
windows and dead walls of the town, a
placard attacking President Raymond
and setting forth all of the alleged mis-
takes of his administration up to this
time. 1t created a great deal OF COM
ment all day Sunday, and will likely
form a basis for some talk by the
Board of Regents, who are expected to
remedy some of the evils complained Of
in the poster. The Board meets on
Tuesday.

Two Men Arrested in New York for Steal
ing the Contents of Mail Pouches.
New York, April 1.-THE police have
in custody two alleged robbers of mail
pouches, said to be notorious The
last crime charged to the men is the
theft of a registered mail pouch at
Buffalo early this month. The men
give their names as Albert E. Bell, Of
London, Canada, and Frank H. Smith,
of Chicago. They will probably be
handed over to the Buffalo authorities
On Saturday Smith bought pair of
diamond earrings for S275 in a jewelry
store here, giving in payment draft
for $425.61 on the First National Bank
OF WaVeriy, n. z. After buying he
said he would call later and get the
change. The jewelry firm discovered
that the draft had been stolen on the
7th or Sth of this month at Buffalo
Smith and his companion were arrest
ed. Drafts and checks on banks in
New York State were found on them.
In a trunk was found a full uniform
of letter carrier and the proceeds of
the mail pouch robbery at Buffalo
Checks and drafts to the amount of
$4,000 were found also.
The police say that Bell was also
once arrested in Kansas City for a mail
pouch robbery, and served three years.
Smith is said to be a Chicago crook

Marrow Kscnpo Of Oocupantsof one of Lon-
don's Largest partment Houses.
London, April II. The British me-
tropolis narrowly escaped calamity
today which might have rivaled the
horrors Of the Windsor Hotel in New
York City. Hyde Park Court, Albert
Gate, one of the most fashionable
blocks of residential flats, overlooKlHs
the famous Rotten Row, caught nre a.
$3.50 this morning. The bulidlng, witch
is II stories high, was built by the NO
torious Jabez Spencer Balfour, the lot
mer member of Parliament, VINO was
responsible for the Liberator bulidlne
Association and other companies. by
which thousands of people were ruined
and who is now undergoing a sentence
of IA years penal servitude as result
of his conviction on charges OF fraud.
It practically adjoins the mouse occu-
pied by Sir Herbert Naylor-Leland,
Bart, Liberal member OF Parliament
for the Southport division OF Lancan-
shire. whose wife was Miss Jennie
Chamberlain, of Cleveland, Ohio.
The fire broke out in the lower part
of the building and spread up the ele-
yator shaft with great rapid1ty. The
flames involved the upper stories be-
fore their occupants were aware of the
danger. When the alarm was raised
the affrighted servants dropped from
t.ll top windows to verandah on the
ninth story.
The defective arrangements OF the
London fire brigade were again demon
strated, and even when the fire es-
canes reached the scene they were too
short to reach the people in the upper
stories, who only escaped with the
greatest difficulty, while the residents
of the lower stories streamed out of
the building, carrying what they could
of their belongings.
The flames were not under control
until o'clock, when the upper part of
the structure was destroyed.
= 1t is considered lucky that the fire
occurred in daylight, as otherwise it
would have resulted in loss of life. All
the floors were supposed to be fireproof.

printed this morning that the resignation
of John Addison Porter, secretary to the
President, was now in the hands of Mr.
Mckinley to take effect at the latter's
convenience, is officially denied at the
White House.
While the resign%ion has not been ten
dered, it would surprise no one here if
Mr.. Porter would relinquish his post at
any time. He broke down under the
strain of the arduous duties he has per-
formed since the advent of the present
administration and for over three weeks
has been confined to his house in this
city by nervous prostration. The general
belief is that Assistant Secretary Cortell-
