HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Is THE CHARGE ENTERED AGAINST
TWO BENWOOD MEN,
Arrested ON Suspicion al BelIaire
Monday-Case to be Hear This
MISUNDERSTANDING Of the
HOld-up.

The case of the two men arrested
in bellalre Monday while trying TO
sell a watch with the name OF Shaffer
engraved or it is rather peculiar. After
a careful search by Marshal Johnson
no watch &C aid be found. Monday
evening two Benwood men asked the
privilege of. seeing the two prisoners.
The request was granted by the night
Waterman. and after a few minutes
talk the men came out of the Jail and
Immediately left for Benwood. Later
the two prisoners were brought before
the mayor, who questioned them re-
garding the watch. One of them open
ed his shirt and produced a silver
watch, saying that was the only one he
had. Marshal johnson became suspfc-
ious of the two visitors and t%elephoned
Marshal Furbey, of Benwood. to get
the two men who had been to Bell
aire and see if they did not have the
watch. The men, who were found by
Marshal Furbee. turned over the
watch, and from this it is thought
that while they were talking to the
prisoners they exchanged watches. AS
Marshal Johnston placed the men in
different cells it is supposed n hid
Ll0 WAUGH III lie cell U0lOFC ne ScdICu-
ed them. There is also another clue
that the watch was left in a saloon
and the Benwood parties went and got
it before leaving Bellaire. The two
men in Jail are undoubtedly the parties
who held up Shaffer in Benwood. The
latter recognized one of the men, and
said after they knocked him down one
man sat down on his chest and rified
his pockets and took his watch. The
mans name is Mcdonald. and he is
said to have a bad reputation. Mr..
Shaffer said he paid SIS for the watch
and would like to get it back.
The prisoners were brought to Ben
wood by Marshal Furbee and Officer
Gately last night and will be given a
hearing before Squire Lacey on the
charge of highway robbery this after
noon at 2 o'clock. The warrants were
sworn out by the owner of the watch
yesterday afternoon. The men did not
hesitate to come to the West Virginia
side without requisition papers The
arrest of these men will probably give
some light in regard to the robberies
occurring recently at McMechen and
Bellaire,

THE BELLAIRE FIRE.
THE LOSS IS ONLY PARTIALLY
COVERED BY INSURANCE.
The Laboratory and Electric Plant
Are a Total LOss-Manager Carter
VIII EndeavOr to Get thu Plant
in Operation at the Earliest Pos
sfbIe Date.

The fire at the Bellaire Steel Com
pany's plant Tuesday morning, while
a great loss and causing much incon-
venience, is not the great loss that
some of the papers have stated. A
Register reporter saw Mr.. A. B. Carter,
who is president of the Bellaire Steel
Company, and is manager of the plant,
which is operated by the National Steel
Company. Mr.. Carter stated that their
loss would reach $4,000, and this was
covered by $40, 900 of insurance, includ-
ing six companies, of which five had
policies. of $4,000 each and one with
$4,000. He said the laboratory and cleo
trio plant was a total loss, but that il
nothing happened to his plans he would
be able to have the plant in operation
in a week or ten days. The cranes
and some other machinery are run by
electricity, and the mines are operated
by the same power. The plant is
closed down except the blast furnace,
which is still on, and the lights for
same are being supplied by the Bellaire
Electric Light and Gas Company, and
1T is thought this department will not
have to close down.
President Carter is quite a hustler
and fully showed yesterday that while
this had caused the plant quite a loss
and much inconvenience, he vas equal
to the occasion, and by the use of the
wires had last night some of the cleo
trio machinery ON the road, and will
use one of two buildings for a temper
airy plant, but had not yet decided
which place he would select. One is a
new building just erected, and the 9TH
er is placed in the bar department.
The machinery will be secured from
other plants Of the National Steel Com
pany. Mr.. Carter did not think with
the coming machinery they would be
able to operate the mines, and for a
while they would go back to pick min
ing and their dinkey engine would
haul the coal out, as they did prior to
using electricity.
About 800 men have been thrown
out of employment and the business
men will feel the effect veEy much, as
the plant has been running almost con-
tinuously and has been n of the best
industries in the city. 1t is to hoped
Mr.. Carter will be able to realize his
efforts in getting the plant on in the
time stated, and the public may rest
assured that the management will re-
sumo as o as possible.

i RESTAURANT EPISODE.
a Sort 81 Straw Vote.

An advertising agent, repre-
senting a prominent New York
magazine, while on q recent trip,
was dining n evening in a Pitts
burg restaurant
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and
noticed the advertisement of a
well known dyspepsia preparation,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; as he
himself was a regular user of the
tablets he began specializing as to
how many of the other travelling
men in the dining room were also
friends of the popular remedy for
indigestion.
He says: 81 counted twenty
three men at the tables and in the
hotel Office I took the trouble to
interview them and vas surpris-
ed to learn that nine of the twenty
three made a practice of taking
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach
trouble at one time he had been
Obliged to quit the road, but since
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
had been entirely free from indi-
gestion, but he continued their
use, especially while travelling, on
account of irregularity In meals
and because like all travelling
men he was often Obliged to eat
what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture
of health, said he never ate a
meal without taking a Stuart Tab
let afterward because he could
eat what he pleased and when he
pleased, without fear of a sleepless
night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because
he was subject to gas on stomach
causing a pressure on heart and
lungs, shortness of breath and
distress in chest, which he no
longer experienced since using the
tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet was tn only safe
remedy he had ever found for
sour stomach and acidity, he had
formerly used common soda to re-
lieve the trouble, but the tablets
were much better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or 9th
er excuses which weaken the d.
gestive organs, nothing restores
the stomach tora healthy, whole
some condition so effectually as
Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets con-
tain the natural digestives, pepsin.
d~iastase, which every weak stom-
ach lacks, as well as nux, hydras-
tin and yellow parilla, and can be
safely relied upon as a radical
cure, for every form of poor diges-
ton. Sold by druggists every
where.

Local News from the lily of Mills
and WOrkshops-Unjust Report.

Prof. M. D. Morris, principal of the
High school, has been receiving some
free advertising from many of the pa
pers that he is not very we'll pleased
with. Some of the papers have had
him in Columbus and that he has ac-
cepted a position in the pension depart
ment. Others say he has recently pass
ed the civil service examination and is
an applicant. The facts are that Prof.
Morris passed this examination over
two years ago, and that the position in
Columbus was offered to him and that
he refused, and stated he would fulfill
his contract with the board of educa-
ton. These reports do injustice to Mr..
Morris, and have called forth much
comment from the public, which was
taken from untrue reports, without any
foundation.
