the fear of ttf3nding Negro voters
this yesr only prevented the National
Committee from taking steps at the
recent meeting at Philadelphia to re-
duce southern representation in ma
tionaI conventions. When such re-
duction does take place, We may be
reasonably certain that the lily white
brand Of southern republicans will be
preferred over the NegIo. For nothing
was more clearly demonstrated 10y the
votes in the conte,ted election cases
before the committee on contests at
Philadelphia than that the lily white
republicans of the South were in pal
ttcularly 60 ld od0r with the majority
of that committee.
The nOtcrious Genl. Rosser of Vlr
ginia who has recently become c5n
vert to repubij5anism will receive
more consideration at the hands OF the
republican party than any distin
gu'shed Negro in the party who has
given the best years OF his life to it's
success and prosperity. For all such
prOseyteS, the republican party viii,
kill the fatted calf and make merry,
and the best off ;es at its disposal are
none too good for these latter day re-
plblicans who were enly recently in
open rebellion against the authority Of
the United States. The Negro need not
expect to secure any additional repre-
SentatiOn in the natio0al republican
COMMITTEE or to long enjoy the limited
representation which he now has On
that committee. For nothing is more

that the passing of the Negro is soon

The Injured PoIander.

Johan Padaka, the Pole who was
struck by B. & 0. yard engine No. 53,
at Forty-seventh street, at half-past
ten o'clock Friday night, was reported
in serious condition at ten o'clock
last night, when DR.. Schwinn was
with him.
After being removed to the City Hos
pital, yesterday morning, Drs. Camp
bell and SchWinn performed an opera
tion-amputating the patients right
arm at the shoulder joint The arm
had been badly twisted, and this fact
probably prevented death from loss of
blood, as the blood vessels were
clogged to a considerable extent by
the twisted flesh and muscles. The
patient made a prompt and fair rally
from the shock and yesterday there
was hope for his recovery. Last night,
however, the conditions were not so
favorable.
This case attracted general atten-
ton yesterday, and one prominent
business man told Register reporter
that upon a repetition of such a state
of affairs the patient, whoever he
might be, should be sent to a hospital
at once, and the business man would
be responsible.

HARRISVILLE. w. Va, March IT,
On the evening of the 10th inst. a
young girl, aged Is, named Lottie
Cain, from off of the South Fork.
whose father is generally known by
the cognomen of Black jim" was arr
rested on Chancelor's Fork of AddI-
son run. this county, about eight miles
southwest of her, accused OF killing
her new born babe.
The dead infant was found by a boy
under a stone near Gains house with
a string tied tightly around It's neck.
The child was born last Sunday even
ing. and no one ever saw 1t alive.
When face TO face with the dreadful
accusation the girl would neither az
firm nor deny the charge. She has al
ways been considered a girl of very
weak mind.

to town by the two constables, George
Nichols and Albert Cation. she reveal

THE FEAR OF HU1GBUG
Prevents Many People From
Trying a Good Medicine.


Stomach troubles are so COM
mon and in most cases so obstin-
ate to cure that people are apt to
look with suspicion on any rene
dy claiming to be radical, per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness 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 little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims
made of 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 propri-
etary medicines for the reason
that they are not secret patent
medicine. no secret is made OF
their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden
Seal, bismuth. hydrastis and nux.
They are no cathartic, neither do
they act powerfully on any organ.
but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting
the food eaten thoroughly before it
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 to there is to it. Food not
digested 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.
They are sold by druggists ev-
erywhere at 80 cents per package.

Joe Weisgerber and ''Mullix" are
making things smoke for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Commissioner in
Union.
The Morgan Messenger says:
Hon. A. B. White is a splendid
man and would make an admirable
Governor, but the Hon. Romeo H.
Freer would fill the gubernatorial
chair with equally as much honor and
distinction, and the reason the Mes
senger is for Freer is because the COM
mon people, farmers, laborers, old
soldiers, and men in the lowly walks
of life are for him, and want to honor
him with their votes. He is an emf
nent jurist, an orator of great renown
and man of the people, and if NOM
mated will be elected by at least TWEEN
ty thousand majority. The people are
demanding Judge Freer and in the
light of past events it will be wisdom
to grant their Desires
Capt. w. H. Travis is paying very
little attention to the iron trade these
days. He can be seen on the street al
most any hour in the day, with far
away yet hopeful look in his eye, and
the glad hand for everybody.
The ST. Marys Oracle, in speaking
of the candidacy of Judge I. N. Tav-
ener, says:
His popularity throughout the State
will make him an available candidate,
and his recognized ability will COM
mand the respect of even his political
opponents. Should he receive the
nomination at the hands of his party
it is safe to predict his election; and
if elected, West Virginia will have a
Governor Of whom she may we'll be
proud"

are still insisting that he should ac-
cept the Democratic nomination for
City Clerk the coming fall.
