The farther you hold your glasses

many people wear their glasses ON

are really too weak for them. This

take away the pain. found his glas-

lenses should always be worn as
close to the eyes as possible without
touching the lashes. Correctly fitted
glasses are the only kind sell.

SOME INFORMATION DESIRED

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-A taxpayer would like to know
who is furnishing the, money now be-
ing used by the supporters of the pro-
posed Uniontown, Waynesburg & West
Virginia railroad in their efforts TO in
duce the taxpayers and voters to sup
port the 100000 subscription to the
stock of the proposed road? If the
scheme is such a paying investment,
why is it necessary to use money to
push it along, and why do not some of
the members of the Chamber of Com
merce, who are always looking for good
investments. buy some of this stock
and not put the county to the neces-
sity of subscribing? Something is
wrong somewhere and the voters
should get out early next Tuesday and
see that this stock subscription" is
knocked out. Look for the Trades and
Labor Assembly circular. now out.

ANTI-MONOPOLIST
Colts ATTORNEYS ALICE
That Two Jurors Talked to Outside
Parties During His Trial and Ask
for a New Trial.

That Two Jurors Talked to Outside
Parties During His Trial and Ask
for IL New Trial.
A sensation was created yesterday in
arguments on the motion for a new
trial for w. ]. Colts, convicted of forg
cry, before Judge Melvin at Mounds
vile by Attorneys w. W. Arnett and
NJ. F. Dryden for the defense. They
charged that there were circumstances
connected with the jury which looked
as though that body had been tempered
with. Mr.. Dryden, in his argument
presented affidavits signed by several
prominent Moundsville citizens stat
ing that they had seen Jurors Frank
KoontZ and Joseph Fox talking to per-
sons not connected with the court or
the case in any way and that during
these times no officials of the court
were present. On this ground the de-
Tense asked that the verdict be set
aside. Attorney Dryden also argued
that the admission of improper evil
dence, including the affidavit of Colts
to w. w. Rogers was in itself sufficient
to give a new trial. Judge Melvin adj
journed the hearing until next Satur-
day. He issued orders to Sheriff Doyle
to have every member of the jury pres
emit on that date and each one will be
asked to testify concerning the allega-
lions made by Colts attorneys. If the
charges are proven it will in all prob
ability mean a new trial for Colts, as
West Virginia's practice is very strict
in regard to juries in felony cases re-
naming together and being kept away
from outside influence. The State will
make its argument Saturday.

AMOUNT rs MODERATE.


Answers to Objections to $5OO,OOU
Subscription by Ohio County.
WHEELING, w. Va, July IA, 1900.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:--It Is urged by those unfriendly
to the new railroad project of the
Uniontown, Waynesburg and West
Virginia railroad, that 100000 is too
great subscription for this county to
make to the capital of that company.
/ A consideration of the difficulties
surrounding the construction OF this
road will convince the candid mind
that the $500, 1000 subscription to the
, stock is very moderate one. As was
pointed out yesterday in an article
published in your paper, the cost of
this road will be very great and far be-
yond the ordinary. The construction
must be of permanent nature because
OF the heavy business to be transacted
over it.
The West Virginia end of the road
is the only one that can receive aid
from counties or towns. Consequently,
private subscribers to the stock must
pour out their money in the construc-
ton of that absolutely necessary por-
tion of the line in the State of Pennsyl-
vania and almost deplete their Golfers.
1t is, therefore, apparent that If we, in
Wheeling, desire to make an effort to
shake off the monopoly that has dis
eliminated against us and our indus
tries through many years past, we
should vote for the county to sub
scribe, without hesitation. the sum
mentioned in the ordinance to be voted
/ for on the 18th inst. Five hundred
| thousand dollars Is small amount to
ask this county to pay, especially when
you consider the great utility of the
enterprise to Wheeling and its busi-
ness and industries. If Ohio's county s
stock in this new road does not pay,
it will be almost the first time in
history that stock in coal railroad,
with anything like the opportunities
that this railroad will have for busi-
ness, has not largely paid It's stock
holders The investment in the stock
of this company by Ohio county will
! not only pay because the stock will
pay good dividends, but to the individ-
ual citizen, the workingman, who
| will get steadier and almost constant
employment; to the the business man,
who will get greater market for his
goods; to the manufacturer, who viii
be relieved of the excessive extortion
of railroad freights on his coke and be
enabled to run his works in competi-
tion with his Pittsburg rival: to the
property owner, whose holdings will
be enhanced in value, and to every
man in this county no matter what
may be his employment, return will
/ be made UNNECESSARILY beyond any
thing he can possibly be called on to
pay, even if every cent of the $4,000
| should be lost.
