THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR INDI-
TON.

As Well as the Safest and Cheapest
The new medical discovery, Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the
food instead of making the worn
out stomach do all the work, give
it much needed rest, and a cure
of dyspepsia is the natural result.
You get nourishment and rest at
the same time because these Tab
let's will thoroughly digest all
wholesome food taken into the
stomach whether the stom-
ach works or not. A cure is
certain to result because the diges-
tive organs are given chance to
rest and recover their natural Wig
or and tone. The Tablets are then
no longer required.
To show the manner in which the
remedy acts on different people
and how quickly and effectually it
cures stomach troubles we present
a few recent cases.
Mr.. J. o. Wondly, of Peoria, ILL.,,
writes: | was unable to eat any,
thing but the plainest food, and
even that often stressed me, but
since using one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, can eat any,
thing and everything l want.
Mrs. Samuel Kepple, of Girty,
Pa, writes: l have been entirely
relieved of my stomach troubles by
your Tablets. suffered three years
with sour stomach and gas at
night. l am thankful for them.
Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, VT,
writes: | think Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best thing for dys-
pepsia l ever took. | will recon-
mend them to anyone troubled as
bad as l was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
not disappoint because they cure
dyspepsia surely and lastingly by
causing the food to be properly
assimilated, and cure constipation
by producing the proper quantity
of bile, and sold by all druggists
at so cents per package.

John Mcpherson, who was supposed

Sunday night at West Wheeling, is still
in very critical condition, and his re-

there was rumor current that he had
not been hit by train, but had re-

after beating his, threw him over the

locate in Aurora, Mo-, where he will

ested in. He will superintend the
construction of new plant for min
ing and reduction works. The Bridge
port people have very valuable mine
OF about twelve acres. Mr.. Campbell
has been in this town for about seven
years, during which time he has enjoy
ed lucrative practice and has been a
prominent member of the Belmont
county bar. His many friends will
be sorry to learn of his new plan, but
all heartily wish him success. Mr..
Campbell will most probably leave
next week.
James Woodcock died yesterday af-
ternoon about 8 o'clock at the home
of his son, in Kirkwood. He was in
his eighty-third year, and an old res
ident of this town, and a highly re-
spected citizen. He had only been
sick short time, having been out on
the streets last week, but during the
last few days he contracted pneumo-
mia, which was the immediate cause of
his death. For over fifty years he has
been a member of the Odd Fellows,
being a member of the Martins Ferry
lodge. Recently he received a medal
from the order for his long member
ship, which he priced very much. I'm
til some years ago he was connected
with a foundry business, but of late
years has retired from business. The
funeral will take place Thursday morn
ing from the Kirkwood M. E. Church.
Interment will be made at Linwood
cemetery.

Water Right Decision.

The Supreme Court of the State Of
Nebraska has rendered an opinion
which vitality affects all irrigation
projects in that Commonwealth. The
decision holds that the owner Of prop
erty adjacentto to a stream has the right to
It's water undiminished. This is the
old English common law, and 1t is
against such ruling that the irrigation
companies Of the West have been
fighting, for years. The suit in ques-
ton was brought by an irrigation COM
pany to establish its right to divert
water from the White river, which
was opposed by the mill owners along
the stream.

More Than Cussidness.

About 9:3o last night some contemp-
tble design Of humanity threw small
piece of iron against R. H. Cowles's
Store. This was to draw the
attention Of the person that might be
inside. Ben Cowles, who was in the
store. went and got his revolver but re-
manned inside. The party evidently
wanted trouble and became disap-
pointed and threw bolt that weighed
about quarter Of a pound through the
WINDOW with vicious force. Ben ex-
changed pistol fire but with high aim
and the intruder fled. We suspect It
is about time for robbery or some
crime pretty soon. The officers are
on the look out but a 1901" might be
good investor OF some characters

Not Dead Bot Sleeping.

News came to town early yesterday
morning that man and woman were
lying dead along the roadside above
town. The officers were notified and
a party soon left to investigate the case.
On arriving where the "dead people
were they found them just beginning to
thaw out, as the sun had begun to
shine brightly, and they were soon as
lively as a pair Of squirrels after the
thaw in the springtime.
The woman had been cooking for
the section men, and and the man be-
ing abundantly supplied with "hoptid-
Idly water" they decided to celebrate
Sunday evening and drank until they
dropped asleep by the roadside ana
knew not Of the chill of the night until
they had sobered up.

Another Wreck.

AS No. 4 pulled into Doom, siding
between White Plants and Mirage,
last night at l:25. the engine. ex-
press. mail and baggage cars and two
coaches, all except the sleeper. jumped
the track, the engine rolling over on its
side. Fortunately Engineer Fred Mar
shall and Fireman. Devine succeeded
in getting out Of the engine without
serious injureis. Engineer Marshall
was scalded on the right leg and re-
ceived several bad bruises. while the
fireman received a sprained ankle and
a number of bruises. They will be
quite sore for a few days. 1t was quite
remarkable that no passengers were
hurt. The cause of the action of the
train was that the switch had been
tampered with. Instead of the switch
lock being in place in the switch 1t had
been taken out Of place and was hang
ing down by its side. This is not the
first wreck that has happened recently
on account Of tampered switches.

McKinley's Hard Times Supper.


The Firemen and their wives were
surprised indeed when, after expecting
a repast Of cracker and water for a
menth, were seated around veritable
banquet. The absent ones missed 2
treat. Those present enjoyed the
spread immensely.
After supper 1t was nice to know the
ladies' might be seated while the boys
washed the dishes. AS 1t was their
treat they did not believe in doing
things by halves.
Part Of the program wasa rattle for
aquiit, made by Mrs. Daisy Applegate.
Mrs. Tom billiard was the holder oil
the lucky number, and consequently is
the owner of a beautiful silk quilt. As
the date for the next joint meeting falls
upon New Years day and the day after
the big ball, it was decided that no
meeting be held in January. There
fore the next meeting night will be the
first Tuesday in February 1901.
