suited with Ii. ~ o.. Officials.
Secretary S. A. Thompson and Messrs.
H. w. Mcclure and Clarke Hamilton, Jr.,
of the railroad committee of the Board
of Trade, returned yesterday morning
from Baltimore, where they held a con
ference with the schedule committee of
the B.. & 0. relative to the passenger
schedule which is soon to go into eff
feet.
There will be no new trains. The
officials showed the Board of Trade rep
r~esentatives that present trains be-
tween Grafton and Wheeling are hot
profitable, and that it would be folly to
put on another and divide the bust
ness. They also showed that but five
through tickets from Clarksburg to
Wheeling have been sold since early in
February, when the through car was
put on.
The question Of improved train SER
vice between Morgantown and Wheeling
was also discussed. The B. & O.. Off
Gals showed that 1t would be impossl-
BILE to make as quick time to Wheeling
as to Pittsburg from Morgantown, and
they argued that Morgantown trade
would naturally go to Pittsburg, the
distance by rail being equal from Nor
gantown to Wheeling and to Pittsburg.
The schedule committee will recon-
mend more satisfactory connection at
Grafton with trains from the east for
Clarksburg and other points. The COM
mittee will also recommend more salts
factory connections with the Duquesne
Limited.

! Popular Remedy for DyspeDsia
which Has Made Many Renarka-
BILE Cures.

The spring Of the year is the time
for blood purifiers. It is the sea-
son when we think we must dose
ourselves with sar~saparillas. bitters
and the endless list OF ~so-called
blood purifiers and nerve tonics.
AS a matter OF fact, there is but
one possible way in which to purify
the blood and that is, through the
stomach and bowels.
Pure blood results from whole
some food thoroughly digested.
Impure blood results from poor di-
gestion and assimilation. When
the stomach refuses to work prop
erly the food remains too long q
time, fermentfng, forming gases,
shown by sour, bitter taste in
mouth, bloating and belching Of
gas, and distress and discomfort
generally. Poor blood, weak
nerves, sleeplessness and a general
don't care feeling can always be
traced to imperfect indigestion.
This is the reason why Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are superior to
all other spring medicines and
blood purifiers. They give perfect
olgestion, the food does not lie in
the stomach for hours. They give
a vigorous appetite, sound sleep,
strong nerves, and wholesome food
we'll digested makes pure blood,
and in no other way can the blood
be purified. The idea that a medi-
cine, in itself, will purify the blood
when the stomach and digestive or
gans are out of order Is nonsense.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used
by thousands in, preference to bit
ters," after dinner pills" and
blood purifiers" because they re-
move the cause of the impure
blood, and you do not have to take
them forever to get results. Dys-
pepsia is an obstinate disease to
cure and a remedy must be design
ed especially for it and nothing
else. Cure-alls will not cure dys-
ceDsa.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
not claimed to cure everything Or
anything except dyspepsia and
stomach troubles and for that it
stands alone among patent lnedi-
cines. Anyone suffering from any
trouble with their digestion will
find these tablets will give iman-
date relief and a permanent cure.
Stualt's Dyspepsia Tablets are
prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co,
OF Marshall. Mich, and sold Is
druggists everywhere at so cents
per package. No dieting nor
change OF habits is required, they
digest the food.

The Board of Trade is making an
! effort to induce Governor A. B. White
| to select Wheeling as the place for hold
ing the next annual encampment OF
the National Guard. A step in that di-
rection has already been taken. Assist
ant Secretary Adams went down to
| Parkersburg to attend the meeting OF
the officers of the National Guard, ex-
pecting also to meet Governor White.
Governor White departed upon the
train upon which Mr.. Adams arrived,
but he was permitted to address the
officers in the interest of Wheeling, 4
he was given much encouragement.
The selection must be made by the Gov
ernor. but he will, as a matter OF course,
be guided largely by the recommended
lions of the officers. They were favor
ably impressed with the idea OF hold
ing the next encampment here. The
sentiment had been favorable to Par
kersburg for the principal reason that
no other city had asked for the encamp-
ment. Parkersburg people who talked
to Mr.. Adams represented that they
would be willing to wait another year,
inasmuch as they have already been
very much favored.
The officers of the Guard were unit
ed in the opinion that the organization
would be much benefited by holding
the next encampment in Wheeling. 1t
has never been held in the First COZ
gressional district, and the military
feeling in the Panhandle has never
been very strong.
If Wheeling secures the encampment,
it will probably be necessary for this
city to make up the difference in trans
portation expenses between Parkers-
burg and Wheeling, and a fund will
have to be raised for that purpose. Inc
small appropriation by the Legislature
for the National Guard necessitates the
reduction OF expenses to the minimum.
The First regiment could be brought TO
Wheeling with no more expense than
would be required for mobilization at
Parkersburg, but the transportation ex-
penses of the Second regiment would
be much heavier.
The National Guard requires sixty
acres of ground, with convenient water
supply, for its annual encampment. IT
would mean the presence of 1900 men
in Wheeling for ten days. Assuming
that each would leave $40 here, which
is certainly a very modest estimate, it
would mean SIS 900 for the merchants
OF the city. Parkersburg has had the
encampment, and understands and ap-
preciates it's advantages to the city.
Secretary Adams Yesterday forward
ed a letter to Governor A. B. White,
asking him to name a date when he will
hear a proposition from representa-
tives of the Wheeling Board of Trade.
What the proposition will be Mr..
Adams was not prepared to say yes
terday.

Yesterday morning Lash and Earl
Marshall, who participated in the fight
with the Guys, at Cool Breeze. appeared
before Squire Larue for a hearing. their
brother, William, being unable to APP

eeived in the fight. The two Marshall
boys who were present succeeded In Sc
curing a continuance, and gave bond of
$500 each on the charge of shooting with
intent to kill and s1e0 on the charge OF
assault and battery. Their father went

Yesterday afternoon they appeared

three Guy boys. to answer to charges
of rioting. shooting with intent to kill,
etc. The entire number OF charges ag-
gregates fifteen. There were also a large
number of witnesses present, but the
boys all waived hearing and gave bond
to appear before the next grand jury.
The bonds amounted to S $500, and the
boys fathers went good for the amount.
