nincant Compared With This On
If all the people in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain
who make daily use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets could be assem-
bled together it would make an
army that would outnumber our
army of one hundred thousand by
at least five to one.
Men and women who are broken
down in health, are only part OF
the thousands who use this popular
preparation, the greater number
are people who are in fair health
but who know that the way to keep
well is to keep the digestion perfect
and use Stuart's Tablets as regu-
larly as meal time comes to insure
good digestion and proper assim-
ilation of food.
Prevention is always better than
cure and disease can find no foot
hold if the digestion is kept in good
working order by the daily use OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Mr.. Thomas Scale, Mayfield.
Calf, says: Have used and rec
commended Stuart's Tablets be-
cause there is nothing like them
to keep the stomach right"

From Mrs. Del. Eldred, Sun Prai-
RE, Wis: Il was taken dizzy very
suddenly during the hot weather
of the past summer. After ten
days of constant dizziness | went to
our local physician, who said my
liver was torpid and I had over
heated my blood; he doctored me
for two weeks without much i'm
provement; | finally thought of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets (which
/ had used long before for various
bad feelings) and the first three
tablets helped me.
"They are easily the best all
around family medicine / ever
used"
The army of people who take
Stuart's Tablets are mostly people
in fairly good health, and who
keep well by taking them regular
ly after meals. They contain no
opiates, cocaine or any cathartic or
injurious drugs, simply the natural
peptones and digeStiv which
every weak stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
sold by druggists everywhere in
the United States, Canada and
Great Britain.

DIFFERENCE ADJUSTED.
Employees of the Mingo Steel Plant
VIII Return to Work.

VIII heturn TO WORK.
The Register was authoritively in
formed that at a conference held yes
terday between Mr.. A. B. Carter, dis
trict manager of the National Steel
Company, and the executive committee
of the Amalgamated Association, the
differences that have existed at the
companys Mingo plant between the
management and the workmen were
satisfactorily adjusted. The basis OF
the settlement was a reduction of rs
per cent from the old wages.
According to the arrangements state
ment, the contention arose from the
fact that the Mingo plant had put in
modern machinery of such a character
that it reduced the labor of the work
men very largely and at the same time
increased the output. 1t was claimed
by the management that the introduce
ton OF these improvements justified a
reduction in the wages. The workmen
took different view of the situation.
hence the contention. 1t was known
from publications from time to time
In the Register of the several confer
ences that have been held. what pro-
gress has been made toward effcting a
settlement. The ending of the dispute
and the return to work of so many
men, who have been out of employment

IL VIII be seen that Bearley lost 7
votes on the recount and Higgins gain
ed IL, net gain of 10 for Higgins.
The Board completed the recount at
five o'clock and a motion was made to
adjourn until this morning, when Mr..
Pendleton will be heard upon the ques-
ton of disposing Of the disputed bal
lots. The motion carried.
Mr.. Pendleton plainly showed that
the law is on his side, and placed great
stress upon the intention of the voter,
which is the really important point in
volved in the disposition of the dis
puted ballots. In each instance in
which Bearley ballots were rejected it
was upon some technical point con-
nected with the proper scratching of
the tickets. Mr. Pendleton contends
| that the Commissioners, under the law,
sit as clerical body and not as judges.
His view of the matter is supported
by the decision of the State Supreme
Court of Appeals in the Marshall coun-
ty case. The portion of the Courts
opinion relevant to this contest is
herewith given:
In the case of Dunleyy VS. County
Court of Marshall county, ct al.
OIQCI IlIC DItSSnL GleCllOl INV OIL
this State the duties of the board of
canvassers in recounting the ballots
are purely ministerial and not judicial,
and it is the legal duty to count all
ballots and parts of ballots where the
intention of the voter appears from the
face of the ballots, though not marked
or erased in the plain manner direct
ed in the statute, and to reject all bal
lots or parts of ballots where such in
tention does not appear from the face
of the ballots. If, from the face of his
ballot the intention Of the voter is ap-
parent as to his choice of candidates
for any Office, his vote should be count
ed as to such Office, although his in
tention as to other candidates for other
offices be non-ascertainable and the
ballot invalid as to them"
Further on in the same opinion the
Court holds that 'the law seeks to Sc
cure to every elector the right to vote.
and the board of canvassers can neither
disfranchise him nor vote for him. If
he loses his vote, it must be from his
failure to indicate by his ballot his in
dications as to any Office. If he makes
his intention appear his vote must be
counted. The board has neither the
discretion to reject legal nor to cast
an illegal vote"

The Board of County Commissioners
met yesterday morning at ten o'clock
for the purpose of canvassing the vote
for Commissioner in Union district.
Edward Bearley, the contestant, was
represented by Hon. John o. Pendleton,
and Mr.. S. G. Smith was present to
look after the interests Of Mr.. Higgins.
Messrs. Moore and Mccullough were
appointed as tellers, and Messrs. Beans
and Mitchell as clerks. A number of
persons watched the proceedings
throughout the day.
The Board made rapid progress. 1t
was apparent from the start that Hig-
gins, the Republican candidate, was to
be given the advantage of every doubt,
and this was done in each instance.
No time was wasted in wrangling, Mr..
Pendleton entering objections to the
counting of certain ballots, and the
refusal to count Others His objections
were noted in each instance, and the
ballots properly marked. There were
ten ballots which were laid aside DUR
ing the day, and thirty to which OBJ
lection was made to the Boards ac
ton, by MIR. Pendleton, making forty
in all.
On the face of the recount Higgins
majority is increased from Is to 81.
Mr.. Pendleton thinks that the Board
will, without question, be required to
count Twenty-Five out of the thirty
disputed ballots for Bearley, and there
is bare possibility that a sufficient
number of the remaining ballots may
be counted for him to wipe out Hig-
gins apparent majority and elect
Bearley. If the contest is carried in
to the Courts, it is almost certain that
Higgins majority of IS will be reduced
at least.
The following table will show the
vote received by the respective candi-
dates on the face of the returns, and
under the recount, the second column
OF figures in each instance being the
recount figures:
