THE PEOPLES ROOSTER.

The people of Wheeling gave the
City Hall ring a body blow, yesterday,
from which it will scarcely recover.
They elected four members of the
First Branch of Council and twelve of
the Second, a gain of eight over the
anti-ring representation in the old
Council, chose Andrew T. Sweeney
Mayor by a majority of 1904, and Il
the majorities of the other ring candi-
dates on the city ticket to such small
proportions that Clerk Charley Wat
kins is the only man able to do any
Dragging, and his old majority of two
years ago was about cut in two. Will
Clemans succeeded as City Sergeant
by only 1926, as against 1,157 for Ben
nett two years ago, while Norrington,
for Wharfmaster, only pulled through
by the scratch majority of 229. The
Second ward. which was in personal
charge of James K. Hall, alone saved
the day for at least one of the ring
candidates on the city ticket, while
they came SO neal losing everything,
including a majority in Council, that
they were frightened to death for
half the night. The revolt extended
throughout the entire city, save
and except in the Second ward.
Ring majorities, which of late years
have grown to abnormal proportions,
melted like snow under the sun, once
the people got a chance to show their
~displeasure, and even the almost I'M
limited use of beer and Doodle, rein
forced by the utmost exertions of the
ring-leaders, failed to stem the tide.
Sweeney carried every ward in the
city except the Eighth, and only lost
that by a few votes. Paul, for Clerk,
carried three wards, and only lost the
Eighth by n vote. Ritz, for Ser
geant, swept four wards, and came
near carrying the Eighth over Glenn
ans. The latter thought he was beaten
tie ten O'Clock, and at midnight, with
two precincts out, he was only 166
votes ahead. The two absent pre-
cine gave ring majorities, however,
and The day was saved. Norrington
was only 101 votes to the front at mid
night, and won by a majority which
ring politicians would have laughed
at twenty-four hours ago. Over nine
thousand votes were ponce, $3.50
being recorded for Mayor. 1t was a
battle royal between the people,
tired of ring d~ictation, and a strongly
intrenched and arrogant combination.
and the people got decidedly the best
of it. 1t was a demand for better gov
eminent, and a warning served on
those ringsters who remain in power
that two years more of foolishness
will result in turning out the whole
lot, bag and baggage.
The result on the city ticket, by
precincts, is appended:

ward, there was a decided difference of
opinion, early in the evening. between
the Democratic commissioner and his
two Republican companions, over the
counting of a ballot, and the Democrat
calmly inserted a lock in the ballot
box, snapped it shut, put the key in his
pocket and announced that the pro-
ceedingS were at an end. And the
counting stopped right there for an
hour or more until the matter was
adjusted, when the box was unlocked
and the count was proceeded with. No
other trouble worth mentioning was
reported from any other of the thirty
two precincts of the city, and the re-
turns came in regularly and as rapidly
as could be expected, when the size OF
the vote is considered.
Mayor Butts did not appear at the
CITY Hall during the evening; at least,
he was not seen by the Register repre-
sentative, and neither was Mr.. Sween-
ey. Sergeant-elect Clemans came into
the Clerks Office about half-past twelve
TINS morning and enquired as TO his
standing. He was told that he had 166
majority, with a possibility of adding
hfty to it, and looked relieved. Some
or the defeated ring Council candidates
were disposed to be sore, and there
was some profanity directed towards
Mayor Butts, based upon matters un,
known. During the night there was
SINE disorder in the crowd. which was
densely packed, and several windows
were broken. This was the result of
accident rather than design. however.
Soon after n o'clock, when the final
f0OfInQE had hnnn 1noodn Tho nY.Nuva
dispersed, many of them in a thought
full frame of mind.
There was considerable talk during
the day about illegal voting by the
Republicans, and there were a number
OF rumors in circulation to the effect
that many arrests had been made and
others would follow. Only two ar
rests were made. Van Clary, of the
With ward, swore out warrants be-
fore Justice Fitzpatrick for William
Brian and Charles Alexander, who were
promptly arrested. They are Syrians
doing business on Main street, between
Twenty-fist and Twenty-second streets.
When they were brought before the
justice n man stated that he had
been in America three years, and the
other seven years. The latter admit
ted that he had not been naturalized.
The story told by the men furnishes
damaging evidence against a member
of the police force.
The men stated that an officer came
into their place of business, and told
them to go out and vote. They replied
that they did not understand what he
'meant by voting. He then gave each
two drinks of whisky from a bottle
which he carried, and took them to the
polls, after explaining how they should
vote. The men were evidently ignor-
ant of the law and in fear OF the
police.
They asked for an attorney, and John
J.. Coniff appeared for them. Both
waived examination and gave bond for
their appearance.

DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean.
MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYsPEP-
STA TABLETS.

No troubles is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
their nerves are to blame and are
surprised that they are not cured
by nerve medicines. The real seat
of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous d~yspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the
stomach, nor perhaps any of the
usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every organ. In some
cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches;
still others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite with accum-
ulations of gas, sour risings iand
heartburn.
1t is safe to say that StuRrt's
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
stomach weakness or disease ex-
cept cancer of the stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss OF
fie~h and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipa-
ton and headache.

1872 - ~
But it was on Council that the ring
got its body blow. To be sure, it has
remaining from the debris a majority
on joint ballot, but it is a sick-looking
supremacy. In the old Council the
Democrats had but ten vovos out of
forty-four. When the new Council as
sembles, they will line UP eighteen, a
gain of eight, and with a few more
votes in the First ward, the ring ma
jority would have been a thing of the
past, and there would have been a
general packing of baggage in ths vari-
offices throughout the City Hall.
There were only two Democratic hold
overs in the First Branch of the last
Council. They will be reinforced by
four more members, making a total of
six, and %ensuring that the two parties
will break even at the election two
years hence, in the matter of hold-ever
members. In the Second Branch in
the old Council, the Democracy had
but eight members, as against twenty
Republicans. Things will be different
for the ensuing two years, for the
Democrats will have twelve members
to the rings sixteen, and will be in a
much better position to see that the
proper thing is done. The total anti
ring strength is eighteen, a net gain
of eight. The detailed vote follows for

Japan is a long way off, and this
charming story Of how Courtships are
carried on among the elite of their 60
ciety comes to us from this farawuy
land. In certain districts, in houses
wherein resides a daughter Of marriage
able age, an empty fowerpot is encir-
cled by a string and suspended from a
window or the verauda. Instead of sere-
nades by moonlight and other delicate
ways of making an impression, it is
etiquette for the japanese lover to ap.
proach the dwelling of his sweetheart
bearing some choice plant in his hand,
which he r%everently proceeds to plant
in the empty vase. This takes place
when he is fully aware that mother and
daughter are at home.
This act of placing a plant in the
flowerpot is equivalent to a formal
proposal to the lady of his choice. The
lover, having settled the plant to his
mind, retires, and the lady is free tc
act as she pleases. If he is the right
man, she takes every care of his gift,
waters it and tends it carefully with
her own hands, that all may see that
the donor is accepted as a sutton. But
if he is not the favorite, or if the stern
parents object, the poor plant is torn
from the vase and the next morning lies
limp and withered on the veranda or in
the path below.

ANOTHER CABINET OFFICER,

Congress will o o be called upon to
pass a law creating a new cabinet port
folio. This official will probably be
known as Secretary of the Colonies.
1t will be his duty 10 look after the well
fare of the islands that were seized by
the United States in our war with
Spain. While he is attending to his
duties, H~ostetter's Stomach Bitters
will continue to attend to its duties of
curing the sick of stomach, liver and
kidney disorders, just rs it has been do
ing for fifty years. Its greatest virtues
are in building up rundown systems;
in quieting and toning unstrung nerves;
in overcoming dyspepsia, indigestion
and constipation. Try a bottle if you
feel "out of sorts"

that he would at least remove all per-
sonal bad influences with him. But it
seems they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. In an evil hour he gave to the
Hofmann brothers OF Cheyenne a ba-
rometer, and judging from the items in
the Cheyenne papers that instrument
is creating havoc with the weather,
bringing billiards at will and fooling
the good people generally. One day

Wealth in Hay
Perhaps there are not a great many
people who know that the hay crop
OF the United States is the source of
more wealth than the coal, iron or gold
mines, lumber or any manufacturing
industry, and that 1t is more valuable
than the wheat or any other crop, save
that Of corn. While the wheat crop
OF last year was worth in round rum
bers about three hundred and ninety
two millions the hay grown in the
country amounted to nearly four hun
dred millions of dollars, and formed
one Of the chief objects OF export. Ow-
ing to the fact that it can not be sue
cessfully grown in tropical countries,
We have a constantly enlarging market
for it in South America and elsewhere
in the tropics that bids fair to increase
it's production, especially west Of the
Mississippi, where the finest varieties
are grown Crook County Monitor.
