OPTIONS BOUGHT OUTRIGHT.
MESsRs. BIRCH AND DUNLAP SAID
TO HAVE DISPOSED OF
COAL LANDS
TO UNIoNTowN CAPITALISTS.
1t Said That the Money For the OPP
tions Will Be Forthcoming Within
Few Days-Many Thousands of
Acres of Coal Lands in Ohio and
Brooke Counties.

1t was reported yesterday upon good
authority that Mr. Thompson, a veal
thy capitalist of Uniontown, Pa, has
purchased outright the options upon
coal lands in Ohio and Brooke eoun-
ties which were taken many months
ago by Prof. John NJ. Birch, of this
city, and w. M. Dunlap, Esq, of West
Alexander, Pa. Mr.. Thompson is an
extensive holder of. coal territory in
Western Pennsylvania Whether the
options were taken for speculative pur-
poses, or whether Mr., Thompson in
tends to develop the property, cannot
be said sa a5
1t is said that the money for the OPP
lions, amounting to about 100000, will
be forthcoming within few days, and
will be distributed among the farmers
Of Ohio and Brooke counties as soon as
the deeds can be placed in proper
shape, 1t is said that there is no per-
son associated with Mr.. Thompson in
the deal, he securing the property in
his own right.
The present deal is the outcome of
the failure CT the original plans of the
gentlemen who took the options but it
is said that Messrs Birch and Dunlap,
who spent a great deal of time and
money in securing the options, will re-
|ceive a fair remuneration for their
work
The tract embraces about 1000 acres
of coal land. When the options were
all taken, it will lbe remembered, that
the Wheeling Consolidated Coal Com
pany was organized, and it was ex-
pected that the concern would be fin
anced by Wall street banking house.
There were several bitches in the pro-
ceedings, however, and the original
plans were abandoned
The information that the money
would be paid for the options was
given in the Register several days
ago. y

THE ARMY OF HEALTH.


The Army in the Philippines Insis
nfficant Compared with This On
If all the people in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain
who make daily use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets could be assem-
bled together it would make an
army that would outnumber our
army of one hundred thousand by
at least FIVE to one
sMen and women who are broken
down in health, are only a part of
the thousands who use this popular
preparation, the greater number
are people who are in fair health
but who know that the way to keep
well is to keep the digestion perfect
and use Stuart's Tablets as regu-
larly as meal time comes to insure
good digestion and proper assim-
ilation of food.
Prevention is always better than
cure and disease can find no foot
hold if the digestion is kept in good
working order by the daily use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Mr.. Thomas Scale, Mayfield,
Calf, says: Have used and rec
commended Stuart's Tablets be-
cause there is nothing like them
to keep the stomach right"
Miss Leila Dively, 1927 Plummer
St., Pittsburg, Pa, writes: Il wish
every one to know how grateful /
am for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. / suffered for a long time
and did not know what allied me.

day | noticed an advertisement of
these tablets and Immediately
bought a so cent box at a drug
store. / am only on the second
box and am gaining in flesh and
color. have at last found some
thing that has reached my all
ment."
From Mrs. Del Eldred, Sun Prai-
RE, Wis: Il was taken dizzy very
suddenly during the hot weather
of the past summer. After ten
days of constant dizziness l went to
our local physician, who said my
liver was torpid and l had over
heated my blood; he doctored me
for two weeks without much i'm
provement; finally thought of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets (Which
l had used long before for various
bad feelings) and the first three
tablets helped me.
They are easily the best all
around family medicine ever
used"
The army of people who take
Stuart's Tablets are mostly people
in fairly good health, and who
keep well by taking them regular
ly after meals They contain no
opiates, cocaine or any cathartic or
injurious drugs, simply the natural
peptones and digestives which
every weak stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
sold by druggists everywhere in
the United States, Canada and
Great Britain.

THE LITTLE KANAwHA VALLEY
WILL BE THE SCENE OF GREAT
4 DEVELOPMENT WITHIN A
FEW WEEKS.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November
22--Announcement was made to-day
of a transaction of considerable con-
sequence, which will mean much to

nawha Railroad to a syndicate of
PENNSYLVANIA and New York capital
lists. the sale to the same people Of
about thirty thousand acres of coal
land lying in Lewis, Braxton and Gill
mer counties and the formation OF a
coal company with two million dol
lars capital to open and operate the
coal property along the line of the
railroad, which will be extended as
soon as it is possible to do so, to a
connection with the West Virginia and
Pittsburg branch of the Baltimore &
Ohio at huntsville.
The Little Kanawha Railroad is in
operation now from here to Palestine
in Writ county, a distance of thirty
one miles. 1t was built by locaA CAPT
tai with the aid of bonds voted by
Wood and Writ counties and it's furth-
er extension although always contem-
plated, has never been accomplished
because of the lack of available cap
ital at home. Several efforts have
been made to interest capital in the
property and it has been successfully
done at last. The transfer of the stock
or a controlling interest in 1t, has
been made and five directors were
chosen here. last night. They are B.
E. Cartwright, of Ridgeway, Pa; G.
B. Schaffer and J. G. Bennett, of Pitts
burg; Louis Streuber, of Erie, Pa, and
e E. Smathers, of New York City.
ALI the local directors have resigned
except Henry G. Jackson, who is and
will continue to be the president OF
the road, and Governor-elect A. B.
White. Mr. Cartwright will be the
vice president and general manager of
the road.
The transfer of the stock OF the
road calls for the immediate extern
sion of the road to huntsville and the
opening up of the coal land acquired
in the counties through which the
road will pass land it is announced
that work on the extension OF the
road will be begun at both ends as
soon as possible, and that the work
will be pushed to as speedy completion
as possible.
Along with the railroad deal was
the organization of the Braxton Coal
Company, with subscribed capital OF
two million dollars, which company
iS tO onerate the mines along the eX-
tension of the road. They will be OPP
ened simultaneously with the construc-
ton of the road, so that when it is
completed the mines will be ready for
work, and without delay.
All the new directors except Mr.
Smathers have been here within the
last few days and have gone over the
route of the extension of the road.
They are much pleased with the coun-
try and the outlook for the road.
