NO ACTION
Taken at the Scale Convention mt
Bellaire, at Yesterdays
Session.
Miners and Operators Nee Together
on Friendly Terms and Discussed
the situatfon-May be Definite
Action To-day.

The joint convention of the miners
and operators at Bellaire, Is undoubt-
eddy the largest sub-distriet conven-
ton ever held in that district. Yester-
day at about 2:30 o'clock p. m, the
miners and operators met in joint ses-
sion with d. s. Sours, of Cleveland, as
chairman, and Theo. Getz, of Massilon,
as secretary. The above two gentle
men are operators, the former living
outside of the district, but having an
interest in several mines in this limit.
Secretary Stephens, OF the Miners I'm
ion, read the scale and after he had
finished, President Haskins, of the u.
M. w. of o., asked the convention to
adopt It. Mr.. Mcintosh moved that the
operators be given time TO look over
the submitted scale and that they adj
journ until eleven o'clock to-day, and
then again have a joint session. An
amendment by President Sullivan say
ing the miners would agree 10 allow
the operators until eight o'clock last
evening was unanimously agreed
to and the meeting adjourned,
but at the night session nothing was
done.
The scale was a long n and the
different points will be on the machine
and dead work.
Both miners and operators semed to
be on the most friendly terms. About
thirty-ive operators were present,
which is a large representation. The
conference will likely last for several
DAYS. but more business will be done
to-day.

A SERIOUS ERROR
In the TabuIated Statement of the

IN the IabuIated Statement OF the
Reassessment of the State.
Elsewhere IL this issue the Register
publishes a complete tabulated ON
parison of the old and new valuation
Of the realty of the State for purposes
of taxation, only three or four of the
hfty-hve counties being missing, and
there appears to be no prospect of get
ting them for a long time to come, If
at all, as it is understood Tyler, for
instance, has not yet appointed reval-
uation assessors, and probably will not
do so.
The statement gives the total of old
and new assessments, the per centage
of increase or decrease, the number
of acres in each county, the average
value per acre, and other data, and will
be valuable for reference VIXEN the
State Board of Equalization and APP
peals meets.
There is an obvious error in the
acreage given for Ohio county, to which
attention is called. The official figures
make this county contain 100, 800 acres,
which would entitle it to rank first in
area, whereas as a matter of fact, it
is one of the smallest counties in the
State. The figures of the County AS
SCISSORS show Ohio county has an area
of but 81, 800 acres of farming lands,
exclusive of town sites, &C., or about
o~ne-eleventh of what the data in the
Auditors Office appear to make it. The
total area of Ohio county is 113 square
miles, or Y, 1920 acres, which is a long
way from 760, 800 acres.

The Fight Pictures.

Two fair-sized audiences saw the
faithful mutoscope reproduction of the
Sharkey-Jeffries fight at the Opera
House yesterday afternoon and evening.
AS on Monday night there were FREE
quent outbursts of applause, just as
there would have been If the audience
had witnessed the actual fight. After
it was all over, there was the general
verdict that Sharkey should have been
given an even break with the cham
pion. The last opportunity to see the
pictures will be presented this after
noon and evening. For the matinee
the general admission has been reduced
to twenty-five cents to all parts of the
house.

Il FEAR OF HUMBUG.


1TCSCMt1 many EeORle from IIys
ing . Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are SO common
and in most cases so obstinate to
cure that people are apt TO look
with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and inli-
gestion. Many such pride them
selves on their a~cuteness in never
being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged
can be carried too far, so far, in
fact, that many people suffer for
years with weak digestion rather
than risk a little time and money
in faithfully testing the elairls
made of a preparation SO reliable
and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one import
ant respect from ordinary proprie-
tary medicines for the reason that
they are not a secret patent medi-
cine, no secret is made of their in
gradients, but analysis shows them
to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and AUX They
are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but
they cure indigestion on the COM
mon sense plan of digesting 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 because they act
entirely on the bowels, whereas the
whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That
is all there is to it. Food not di-
gested or half digested is poison
as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss
of flesh and appetite and many
other troubles which are often
called by some other name.

The Dairy Farm.

1.-The Dairy Farm" is a rural play.
The scene is laid in Hurley,
a quaint one-street village in Ulster
| county, New York. The time is ante
bellum. The characters are of the
sort that crystalize in simplest country
life. There are a village miser and
his antithesis, a village pastor. There
is a bluff old country Squire. There
are a peddler and his pretty daughter,
a plow-boy, who is in love, an ambi-
tious young maj who has visions OF a
wider, more stirring life than found in
Hurley. There are a fugitive slave and
a negress with a Marvellous voice full
| of futelike tones. With this material.
Eleanor Merron, actress and play
wright, has woven a curiously pleasing
fabric. THE Dairy Farm" will be seen
at the Opera House Thursday and Fri
day nights.

The murder of William Lopeman,
at Bellaire Sunday night, still re-
mains a mystery and the inquest held
by the coroner has revealed but little.
Coroner Beetham had. up to last
evening, examined nine witnesses, in
GLIDING the three men who were last
seen with the deceased, and also a sa-
loon keeper whose place he was in, in
company with the other two or three
men. But from all of these no more
information could be learned but
what has been chronicled in the Regis
ter.
1t was learned yesterday from the
Waterman who is stationed on the fill
being made by the steel company,
northeast of this bridge where the
body was found, hat he heard a shot
fired about one o'clock. He was ly-
ing down in the shed where he stays
and the noise was so loud and clear
that it aroused him. He walked out
and looked toward the street, but fail
ed to see any one, and went back in
to his shed which is about fifty yards
from where the revolver was found.
This would make it about n hundred
and thirty-five yards from where the
body was found, and it is hardly prob
able a shot fired under this bridge
would sound very loud that distance.
This is the most direct evidence yet
learned and shows that it could not be
suicide.
The coroner and officers are doing
all they can to ferret out the matter.
While there are many stories afloat
there is one in particular which the
coroner stated was untrue. and that
was the one that the father had identi-
fed the gun. His father stated that
he never knew his son to W or carry
a revolver. At present this foul muir
der is still a mystery, and no clue
has been found that any theory could
be based on.
