Cure for Cafarrh.
OF catarrh remedies, there is no
end. but of catarrh cures, there
has always been a great scarcity.
There are many remedies to re-
lieve, but very few that really
cure.
The old practice of snuffing salt
water through the nose would oft
en- relieve and the washes, DOUGH
es, powders and enhalers in COM
mon use are very little, if any.
better than the old fashioned salt
water duoche.
The use of inhalers and the APP
plication of salves, washes and
powders to the nose and throat to
cure catarrh is no more reasona-
BILE than to rub the back TO cure
kidney disease. Catarrh is Just
as much blood disease as kidney
trouble or rheumatism and it can
not be cured by local treatment
any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the
head, throat or stomach, an inter-
nal antiseptic treatment is neces-
sary to drive the catarrhal pois-
on out of the blood and system,
and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan and the re-
markable success of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets is because being US
ed internally, it drives out ca
tarrhal infection through action
upon stomach, liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman of st. Joseph,
relates an experience with catarrh
which is of value to millions of
catarrh sufferers everywhere. He
says, Il neglected a slight nasal
catarrh until it gradually extended
to my throat and bronchial tubes
and finally even my stomach and
liver became effected, but as | was
able to keep up and do a days
work L let it run along until my
hearing began to fail me and then
| realized that / must get rid of
catarrh or lose my position as
was clerk and my hearing was alb
solutely necessary.
Some of my friends recommend
ed an inhaler, another a catarrh
salve but they were no good in my
case, nor was anything else until
heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and bought "a package at my drug
store. They benefited me from
the start and in less than four
months l was completely cured of
catarrh although l had suffered
nearly all my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and So
much more convenient to. use than
other catarrh remedies that / feel
| can not say enough in favor of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"
A little book on cause and cure
of catarrh will be mailed free by
addressing F. A. Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich, and the tablets are
sold by all druggists in the Unit
ed States and Canada.

A census bulletin just issued by the
department in Washington and covered
fully in the appended telegram, gives
interesting figures showing the popu-
lation of Ohio county by magisterial
districts, as well as by towns and the
city of Wheeling. The total is $4,000,
which is but comparatively slight in
crease during the past decade The
figures show but few hundred over
5000 souls in Ohio county outside the
city of Wheeling; and over half the
population of the county, exclusive of
Wheeling, is embraced in Triadelphia
district.
The figures for Triadelphia district,
however, while they show a substan-
tial increase in comparison with 1890,
do not justify the excuse made for
Wheeling's disappointing showing in
the census of 1900. The claim that
several thousand persons moved '.out
the pike is not substantiated, although
it is unquestionably true that Wheeling
would go over 10000 but for the ten
dency of families to establish homes in
the suburbs.
Ohio county will not rank nearly as
high among West Virginia counties as
it did under the 1890 census. The rea-
son for this is the growth of many of
the counties of greater area, due to
coal and timber development Ohio
county, while not as large nor as popu-
lous as many others in the State, still
continues to be the most wealthy, and
will, presumably, continue to pay the
hons share of the State taxes. The
following was received last night:
| Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February s.
The census bureau to-day issued a bull
letln giving the complete population of

ELM Grove, town, 76S.
Leatherwood, town, 1873

THE population of Wheeling" says
the bulletin, beginning with GA, in
1910, increased by a good percentage
during each decennial period until that
from 1880 to 1890, its greatest growth
having been attained between 1870 and
1880, when the population was aug
mented by 11,457, Or 59.4 per cent. At
the last two census the percentages Of
increase have declined to 1913 and 1876
| respectively, but the present popula-
ton of the city is double that of 1870
and more than forty-two times that of
1870"
No change is announced in the fig
ures for Parkersburg, thus showing
that place has not yet made good it's

SUIT OVER AN INVENTION.
A Controversy Involving an I'm
proyement to Artificial Legs.

John A. Peer filed suit yesterday against
the Peerless Manufacturing Company,
Annie Campbell, President, and Webster
X. Vaughan. Treasurer, asking the court
to award him the ownership in one-half
the whole interest in certain improve
ment in artificial legs, and also to cancel
ton.
Peer states that he is the inventor and
patentee of a certain improvement in
artificial legs and owns an original one
half interest in the same This improve
ment, he states, the defendants claim by
reason of an assignment made by him to
them, but with the conditions of which
he declares, the defendants did not COM
ply. Peer states that he agreed to assign
his one-half interest in the invention to
the defendants in consideration of one
third of the capital stock of the Peerless
Manufacturing Company, which amount
ed to 5000 shares valued at 0,000.
Peer further states that the capital
stock of the company was afterward
raised to $4,000 and that his interest
should be worth one-thiri of this amount.
He says he believes that in March last
Vaughan entered into a. trust or combina-
tion with persons unknown to Peer hav-
ing a capital of s.. 5.000.000 including the
patent and rights of the complainant,
without his knowledge or consent. Peer
also states that Vaughan sent him a
verbal message inStructing him to 30 to
q certain lawyers Office and to sign q
certain paper stating that he peer was
satisfied with the management. The mes
sage, in effect, Peer says, was that he
was TO get into Faughan's company or
stay out and have his stock Cancelled.
