BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL.

1t was learned yesterday that the
Natural Gas Company OF West Virginia
had purchased the property at the cor
ner of alley and Chapline street, next
to the Carroll Club, from Mrs. J. F..
Merriman, consideration $500 AL
though 1t was not confirmed it is said
the property was contracted for in the
name of Andrew S. Hare, cashier of
the company. Mr. Hare would not
talk OF the matter last night, saying
that the deal had not been confirmed,
and when it was he would be glad to
furnish any information.
1t was further reported yesterday
that the company intended erecting a
substantial Office block of several stor-
les on the site, the first floor Of which
will be occupied by company Offices.
This will enhance the value of prop
erty generally on Chapline street from
Twelfth to Fourteenth street. and will
tend to form the wedge for opening up
that street as business district.
Mr.. j. D. Merriman was seen last
night and said that the property had
been contracted for but had not been
closed. He would neither affirm nor
deny the reported stipulation.

ROBBERS AT WORK
In MoundsyilIe Early Yesterday
MOrning-Several Unsuccessful At
tempts Were Made.

In MoundsyilIe Early Yesterday
Morning-SeveraI Unsuccessful At
tempts Were Made.
Early yesterday morning a bold
burglary was attempted and was part
ly successful in the town of Mounds
vile. The thugs" attacked the Bar
dali residence, ON Washington avenue.
between Second and Third streets.
They had cut some Stats from the win
dow shutters and had gotten the shut
tiers open. They then used some sharp
instrument in trying to raise the win
dow, but failed to obtain admittance.
AS the window was. securely fastened
inside they gave this place up and went
to Charles Kerns' residence, on Fifth
street, and here they were more sue
cessful.
They obtained an entrance and were
going through the house about as they
pleased when the family dog discovered
they were strangers. but before the dog
discovered them they had obtained a
poeketbook of Mr.. Kerns' with about
$3.50 in change, one pair of gold cuff
buttons and some clothing valued at
about SIS, but the noise of the dog
caused them to drop the clothes, which
were found early in the morning by
some member of the family
The robbers next attacked the home
of j. ]. Heedy, little further out Fifth
street. Here they were unmolested.
They gained an entrance through a
side window, and just inside the win
dow some flowers were sitting, but
they were gently set outside, where
they were found yesterday. After they
once got inside they seemed to roam
about at will, and picking up valuables
as they went along. They seized Mr..
Heedys watch and chain and some
other articles of much value. There
has been no clue to the robbers except
where one of them left some finger
marks on the window sash and where
a pointed toe shoe was pressed against
the side of the house in going through
the window.

A DAILY NUISANCE.



est Catarrh Sufferers.
IN its early stages catarrh is
more of a nuisance than a menace
to the general health, but sooner
or later, the disease extends to the
throat, bronchial tubes and even
to the stomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially disease
of the mucous membrane, the local
symptoms being profuse dis
charge of mucus, stoppage of the
nostrils, irritation in throat,
causing coughing, sneezing, gag
ging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by locla
douches, snuffs, salves, etc., often
gives temporary relief, but any
thing like a cure can only be OBJ
tanned by treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the.
Inflammation from the mucous
surfaces.
A new remedy which meets
these requirements and which so
far has been remarkably successful
in curing catarrh is Stuart'S Ca
tarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the
blood and mucous membranes
only. They can hardly be called
a secret patent medicine as they
are composed of such valuable
remedies as Sanguinaria, Hydras-
tin, Eucalyptol and similar. cleans
ing antiseptics, which cure by
eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal poi
son.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
large, pleasant tasting lozengeS
taken internally, allowing them to
dissolve in the mouth, in this way
they reach the throat, fauces and
the entire alimentary canal
II desired, they may also be dis
solved in water and used as a
douche, in addition to the internal
use, but it is not at all necessary
to use douche; a few of them dis
solved in the mouth daily will be
sufficient. However, when there is
much stoppage of the nose, a
douche made from these tablets
will give immediate relief, but the
regular daily use internally of
these tablets will cure the whole
catarrhal trouble, without resort
ing to the inconvenience of a
douche.
DR.. Bement states that the in
ternal treatment for catarrh is
rapidly taking the place of the old
plan of douching, and local appli-
cation and further says that prob
ably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's, as no secret is made of their
composition and all the really eff
cient remedies for catarrh are con-
tanned in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at fifty cents for full sized
packages. Ask your druggist and
if he is honest he will tell you
there is no safer, more palatable.
more efficient and convenient rem
edy on the market.

9th IF Benwood Notes,

The city officials received their SAL
aries yesterday.
Miss Theresa Knoke. of Sistersville,
is here visiting the Misses Springer.
Jake Flanagan yesterday made APP
plication for position on the police
force.
Two plain DRINKS were fined 81 and
costs each in police court Tuesday
morning.
Grandmother" Sprouts is confined
to her home on Sixth street suffering
from rheumatism.
A young child of Otis Wilson, OF
the Fourth ward, died yesterday OF
whooping cough. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made.
Special services will be held at the
Lutheran Church tomorrow morning
and evening. The evening services
will be preparatory to the confirmation
services to be held on Easter Sunday.
J. s. Chase, residing near Cameron,
DR.. Steele, OF Moundsville. and Thos.
Pipes, Of Cameron, all candidates for
the nomination for Sheriff OF Marshall
county. were here yesterday, circulate
ing among their friends.
DIR. l.. e. Wycnoff, who returned
to the city a few days ago from
visit at his old home at Romulus, n.
Y, had his office furniture removed
yesterday to Wheeling, where he in
tends to locate permanently.
The new council will meet this even
ing to be sworn in and there Is con-
siderable speculation as to who will be
selected to fill the various appointiye
offices OF the police department. city
assessor, health department and city
treasurer. The proceedings. as far as
the appointments are concerned, viii
no doubt be lively and interesting.
There are number of candidates from
the Republican ranks who aspire TO
the various minor Offices, besides the
Republican caucus nominees. and 1t
is not thought that the slate will go
through without meeting some obsta-
cles that will be easy 70 surmount at
least.
