dealt with the Times in a very gentle

that word 'garbled and also advises
the union to stop the Register reporter

A DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT

Given by the Young Peoples Soci-
ETY. of Benwood, at Mozart Hall
Last Evening-Large Audience
Present.
A large audience attended the play,
"Fisherman's Luck" given by the
Young Peoples Society of Benwood, at
the Mozart hall, on South Jacob street,
last evening, and all were thoroughly
entertained. The play, in four acts,
was very creditably presented by the
members of the society, and each part
was warmly applauded. During the
evening vocal solos were rendered by
Mr.. Charles Zulauf, of Pittsburg, and
Mr.. Will Clemans. Each acquitted
himself admirably and was well receiv-
ed by those present. The Young Peo-
pies Society, which is composed of
members of the Benwood Lutheran
Church, recently gave a similar per-
Torrance at Holdermann's hall in up
per Benwood. The proceeds will be
added to the fund for the new church
building to be erected by the congre-
cation during the coming spring.

Henry Tigglebeck, alias Henry
FRANKLIN, was arrested Monday on
the charge of stealing gold watch
/and chain, valued at $35. G..
w. Rixey made the complaint
before Justice Rogers, who IS
sued the warrant. Tigglelbeck was
arrested by Detective Michaels and
committed to Jail for hearing to-day
at 2 p. m.
The watch was found in Enoch's
pawn shop and the chain in Uncle
Ben's place, near the Second ward
market.
Yesterday afternoon while the police
were interrogating the prisoner in the
county jail, he admitted that he was
guilty of bigamy. His story is that he
was married some time ago in McKees-
port, Pa. About fifteen months ago
he was in Pittsburg with a friend. He
had been paying some attention to a
Wheeling woman. The friend imper-
sonated a minister and married the
couple. The Wheeling woman's name
is suppressed out of courtesy to herself
and friends She was very much cha
grined when she heard the truth OF the
affair yesterday, as she had been under
the impression all the time that she
was lawful welded wife.
1t Is also alleged that Tigglebeck, who
was employed not long ago as col
lector for one of the leading business
houses In this city, left town on very
short notice, being behind in his .collec-
tion returns. The house may also pros
ecute him.

physician put the QueEy:
Have you ever noticed Ia any large
restaurant at lunch or dinner
time the large number OF hearty,
vigorous old men at the tables;
men whose ages run from 60 to
so years; many Of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none of them
feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so COM
mon as to have escaped your OBJ
seryatiOn or comment, but never
theleSs it is an object lesson
which means something.
If you will notice what these
hearty old fellows are eating you
will observe that they are not
munching bran crackers nor gin
gerly picking their way through
a menu card of new tangled health
foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer a juicy roast beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton.
and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a
vigorous old age depends upon
good digestion and plenty of
wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live
upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that
meat, coffee and many other
good things are rank poisons, but
these cadaverous, sickly looking
individuals are walking condem
nation of their own theories.
The matter in nutshell is that
if the stomach secretes the natur-
al digestive juices in sufficient
quantity any wholesome food will
be promptly digested; if the stom-
ach does not do SO, and certain
foods cause distress one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal will remove all diff
Guilty because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks,
pepsin, hydro-chloric acid. dias-
tase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
not act upon the bowels and In
fact are not strictly a medicine,
as they act almost entirely upon
the food eaten, digesting it thor
oughly and thus gives much
needed rest and giving an appe-
tite for the next meal.
Of people who travel nine out
of ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets knowing them to be per-
fectly safe to use at any time
and also having found out by ex-
perience that they are safeguard
against indigestion in any form,
and eating as they have to, at all
hours and all kinds of food, the
travelling public for years have
pinned their faith to Stuart's
Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so
cents for full sized packages and
any druggist from Maine to Cali
fornia, if his opinion were asked,
will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.
