THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.



Mark Twain's cure for q cold In
the head was simple, but he claims
very effective In his own case; his
plan was to eat nothing whatever
for twenty-four hours or presum-
ably until the trouble had disap-
peared.
although not able to speak from
personal experience as to the effec-
tiyeness of this treatment, it GER
tainly has the merit of extreme
economy, but it occurs to us that
the application of it to a case of
nasal catarrh might be attended
with difficulties.
Catarrh. as everyone knows, is a
chronic cold in the head, and Mr..
Twain,s treatment, II it should be-
come a fad. would make of us a ma
ton of fasters; an army, emulating
the example of the immortal Tam
ner, who achieved world wide fame
by fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a
national disease and there is little
doubt but that errors in diet, par
~ticularly over eating, is a very COM
mon cause.
Most people, however, are more
interested in the cure of the trouble
than in the cause, and modern med
ical science has produced more eff
fective and less heroic remedies
than Mr.. Twain's.
GuaiacOl Is a new remedy, very
effective in some forms OF Cataarh.
Eucalyptol is another which on ac-
count of its antiseptic properties, is
very valuable, while many severe
cases of Chronic Catarrh have been
entirely cured by the s~anguinaria OF
extract of Blood root alone.
Within a year an enterprising
chemist has combined all of these
remedies in tablet form, palatable
and convenient and the superiority
of this tablet over other catarrh
remedies Is so apparent that all
druggists now carry them in stock
to supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Cataarh
Tablets, and 1t is doubtful il any
medicine has achieved a national
popularity in so short a time as
this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used
by thousands OF travelling men be-
cause they can be carried in the
pocket and used any time and in
any quantity being free from Co
caine, opiate or any poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat
from the disgusting secretions Of
catarrh, very often in a few hours
time.
For nasal Catarrh they are far
superior to any wash, lotion or ONT
ment, the use of which is often as
i~nconvenient and annoying as the
disease itself.
For coughs, cold, bronchial ca
tarrh and catarrh of the stomach
these tablets give immediate relief
and a permanent cure where To-
lions, douches and inhalers make no
impression whatever.
This preparation is a boon to ca
tarrh sufferers and any druggist will
tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets is a remedy that has come to
stay.

After a conference which lasted sew
eral hours, Mr.. Joseph Handlah and
Mr.. w. H. Hornish succeeded in per-
fecting arrangements for the joint dis
cussion of national and State campaign
issues in this city next Saturday, be-
tween Holt and White, Democratic and
Republican candidates for Governor re-
spectively. The meeting was to have
been held In front of the Court House,
the speakers to occupy the stand erect
ed for the German Day exercises, under
an arrangement made by the local cam
paign committees. All other expenses
of the meeting were to be divided be-
tween the two committees.
Chairman Hornish returned to his
Office after the arrangements had been
completed, and found awaiting him a
telegram from the Republican State
committee, announcing that the future
dates for the joint debates had been
cancelled by mutual agreement.
Whether or not the telegram gave any
reasons for the agreement could not
be learned. At the Republican Con-
gressional headquarters a Register re-
porter was told that the meetings had
been called off because the joint de-
bates had not proved the drawing
cards that they were expected.
The Democratic chairman received
no official notification of the change
in programme. The action OF the COM
mittees is covered In the following
special telegram to the Register last
night:
Special to the Register.
PAk-ARSBURG, w. Va, October 8.
Democrats and Republicans were alike
startled this afternoon to learn that the
joint debates to have been held at Park
ersburg, Grafton and Wheeling had
been declared off. The first informa-
ton came in a brief telegram from Mr..
Holt and gave no particulars.
Later the following telegram was re-
ceived:
HINTON, w. Va, Octobera
To the Public:
By mutual agreement and in accord
ance with both our wishes. we hereby
declare off the remaining joint debates
arranged to be held at Par~kersburg,
Grafton and Wheeling, the last three
days of this week.
Signed A. B. White, John H. Holt.
| Further than his no information a
been received, but it is believed at Re-
publican headquarters that Whites
voice has given out, his throat having
been troubling him for some time. BY
agreement of the two committees no
| substitutes will be secured for the meet
ing here, which will be abandoned. By
further agreement neither party will
have a speaker at the park tomorrow
to take advantage of the crowd which
| would have been there.

AN OPEN AIR MEETING
OF the Republicans Last Evening at
Bridgeport.

Of the Republicans Last Evening at
Bridgeport.
The opening of the campaign by the
Republicans at Bridgeport last evening
was PROBABLY a disappointment to those
interested, in point of enthusiasm at
least. The speaking was preceded by
a parade in which several clubs from
Wheeling two clubs from Martins
Ferry and other political organizations
took part. The column moved prompts
ly at the appointed hour, and after pass
ing through Kirkwood proceeded to the
foot of Pike street, where the open air
meeting was called to order.
The principal speakers were ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor H. D. Richards, of
Steubenville, o., and Capt. B. B. Dove
ne7, of Wheeling. There were about
$50 people present, according to a con-
siderate estimate. Mr.. Richards, who
was first introduced, spoke for an hour,
and was followed by Congressman
Doyener, whose speech consumed an
hour and a quarter. Mr.. Dovener called
particular attention to the improve
ments along the Ohio river, which he
remarked was a benefit to both the Ohio
and West Virginia sides.
The street procession was witnessed
by many people at all points along the
route and there were fully as many
cheers for Bryan as for Mckinley.

WILL DovENER's ASSAULT

Upon Editor shaw, i'm MoundsviIIe,
Resentment Among the
Republicans.
The assault by Will Dovener, son OF
Congressman b. B. Dovener upon J..
ID. Shaw. editor of the M%oundgyilie
Echo, was a subject of general CONVEX
sation in Moundsville yesterday. The
assault was condemned upon all sides,
and has created considerable feeling.
One Republican. who had the temerity
t defend Mr.. Dovener in discussion up
on the streets. provoked several per-
sons almost to the point OF blows.
Many of the leading Republicans of
Moundsville took occasion yesterday 10
personally assure Mr.. Shaw Of their
sympathy, and TO denounce Mr.. Doven-
er for his hasty and unwarranted ron
duct. One result of the affair was 10
increase the demand among Republican
voters for the badges which were dis
tributed a few days ago. There was
talk yesterday of swearing u a war
ant against Mr.. Dovener for assault
and battery, but this viii probably not
be done.
In this city the assault was depre-
Gated upon all Sides. and prominent Re
publicans were not disposed to attempt
to justify Mr.. Dovener. Mr.. Dovener Is
said to have asserted yesterday that Mr..
Shaw applied a vile name to him, and
that he knocked him down like a rag
Mr. Shaw, however. states that Doven-
er came back after leaving the of1ee.

CHAIRMAN GARY HON0RED.
Presented With a Handsome Gold
Headed Cane by Admiring Friends.

Thursday morning just before time
for the sales to begin quite crowd
assembled at Cooper's warehouse to
witness an interesting ceremony not
down on the bills as part of the reg
ular daily program at that popular
establishment. The occasion was the
presentation Of handsome gold
headed ebony cane to Major W. E.
Gary. Chairman of the Democratic
County Executive Committee, in APP
probation of his work during the
campaign.
The cane is a beautiful one, ex-
quisitely carved and appropriate in
design, most fitting testimonial to
faithful and efficient services render
ed and silent but eloquent express
sion OF admiration and esteem from
the donors. To Mr.. w. II. Hart is
mainly due the credit of getting it up.
An enthusiastic Democrat and a tire
less worker himself he has due
sense OF appreciation of the work of
others. When the idea Of presenting
Chairman Gary a cane was conceived
in Mr.. Harris hands the matter of
securing the necessary funds by popu-
lar subscription Tin small sums SO as
many as possible might have part
in it was an easy matter. The cane
bears the following inscription:

The editors and lawyers of North
Carolina did their full dnty in the
late exciting campaign, and deserve
much praise for the valuable services
rendered by them in securing the
adoption of the suffrage amendment.
The editors filled their papers for
several weeks with the best campaign
literature. In addition to what they
themselves wrote for their papers.
they also published in every issue
columns of other matter Of a political
nature. All this was published with
out charging or receiving one cent in
payment. And not only this, but
many editors gave away a large num-
Der of their papers every week.
The lawyers also did much good by
their active and thorough canvass,
going out among the people and
speaking by day and night in every
county. Many of them shut up their
offices, and, neglecting their business,
devoted their entire time to the can

to going on the train or in Il buggy.
He was industrious and energetic and
as long as he was able to work he
liked to be doing something. The
infrmities of age and enfeebled
health wore upon him and he chafed
under enforced idleness. But the
weary body is at rest, the tired feet
