BANK ROBBED.

Safe Of the Tygarts Valley Bank
Blows Open-Over six Thousand
Dollars S~ecured-No Clue to Ia
Thieves.
Special to the Register.
GRAFTON, w. Va, January IT.
One of the boldest robberies ever COM
mitted in this section of the State oc-
CURED at Philippi at an early hour this
morning. The safe Of the Tygart's
Valley Bank was blown open and over
$4,000 in cash, besides a vast amount
OF valuable papers were secured. The
force of the explosion that blew up the
safe was so severe that it wrecked the
furniture of the bank.
The robbery is supposed to have been
committed by the same gang who rob-
bed the Pennington Coal & Coke Co.'s
office about three weeks ago.
The bank people have offered a hand
some reward for the arrest of the rob-
beers, and have notified the policemen ct
n%cighboring towns to be on the look
out. The safe was an old one, having
been in use since the organization Of
the bank, and was a very large one,
being used as a vault. The president of
che bank, j. N. B. Crims was here to-
day making arrangements if possible to
secure the arrest of the burglars. The
soss to the bank will be heavy. but Mr..
Grim has made arrangements to meet
all drafts or checks at once, and the
Business of the bank will go on in the
usual manner.

ron THE LITTLE ONES.
no CarefuI in the Use Of Cough Medi-
eines for Children's Coughs and

Bc Careful in the Use Of Cough Medi
cines for Chiidren's Coughs m
Colds.
Many analysis Of cheap cough
mixtures. and cough and throat
lozenges have clearly proven that
q large proportion of them con-
tain opiates.
The temporary relief which
these cheap medicines often give
in coughs and colds. especially
with little children. is because
the opiate, by destroying nerve
sensation, the irritation in throat,
which causes the cough, is tenn
porarily removed. but the real
of the cold is not in any
way removed by the opiate and
will promptly return.
The best thing to use to re-
move the catarrhal secretion
which causes the cold, the hoarse-
ness and irritating cough is a new
preparation composed of antisep-
tics like Eucaiyptol, Guaiacol,
Saaguinaria and sold by druggists
under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. which contain no opiate
cocaine or poisoning drug of any
Eort.
A mother living in Charleston,
Mass, the happy rossessor of four
children, writes: Every fall and
winter / have laid in a stock of
cough medicines for. my little
children, for somehow or other,
they never seemed to be free from
colds, Group or sore throat.
This fall / made a change in the
usual programme. / had myself
been cured of an obstinate ca
tarrah, from which I had suffered
for years by Stewart 'ssCatarrh Tab
lets, and as they were pleasant to
take / determined to try them
with my children. Our family
physician told me ne knew them
to be perfectly safe and nothing
better could be taken. So | gave
them to the children and have
continued to do SO ever since,
whenever there is the least sign
of Group or sore throat and | no
longer dread the approach of cold
weather as / once did.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not on
~ cured me of chronic nasal and
throat catarrh. but they have
saved me many an anxious night
with my little ones"
People who have used sprays,
inhalers, salves and washes for
catarrh and have found how use
less they are. will be agreeably
surprised at the results following
the use of a pleasant internal rem
edy in tablet form. Druggists
everywhere admit that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets. which they sell
at soc per package, is the safest,
most effective and popular of all
eatarrh remedies.

CHESTER, Pa, January 17.-Henry

old Hughes enlisted for a three years

Republican Misrule.

Wetzel Democrat. ~
Prosperity will cut no figure in the
next election, except among fools.
Neither party has anything to do with
the present rush of business. The Re-
publicans haven't passed a single law
to bring it about. They haven't even
dared to establish the gold standard.
We have had under Republican rule in
West Virginia two of the weakest and
one Of the most corrupt legislatures
which ever assembled. There was no
attempt made to conceal the rotten>
ness. Every act Of the legislature OF
1897 was paid for in spot cash. And
there were doings in the legislature OF
1899 which wouldn't look handsome
under a searchlight.
The Republican party has not, since
it came into power, made a single de-
parture from the policy in regard to
certain matters among officials, which
became such a crying evil that it fin
ally turned the Democratic party out
of power. The Republican party has
fostered and protected all those evils
which were so clamored against in
Democratic days. The party and its
officials are doing the very things the
Democratic officials did-fostering and
protecting our corporation laws, and
holding on to the outrageous fees and
perquisits of the Secretary of States
Office, which makes 1t a sink hole ct
greed and corruption, where, by legis-
lation, they could have fulfilled their
pledges to the people.

CARBOLIC ACID

Will Soon be Too Expensive for Use
by suicides-Price Jumps o PEI
Cent.
NEW YORK, January 17.-Wholesale
druggists here have been notified by
their London agents that the British
government a forbidden the further
export of carbolic acid, as all of the
output of the English manufacturers
is needed in the making Of lyddite
shells.
AS soon as this news was received
here the wholesale druggists advanced
the price of carbolic acid 100 per cent.
This action was taken to prevent the
