CASEABRUPTLY ENDED
CHARLES H. KoERNER PROVED A
BAD WITNESS FOR HIS OWN CASE.
Sued for False imprisonment b,lt
Made Costly Admission-Bryan
Out ON Bail.

The damage suit of Charles III. Koerner
against the Adams Installment Company,
of Erie, Pa, was dismissed yesterday in
the Circuit Court. In 1898 the Adams COM
pany had a. branch in this city, in charge
of man named Lathrope. KOerner was
employed as a salesman, and when Latil-
rope left the company, succeeded him as
manager. Koerner had some trouble over
his accounts and was arrested at the in
stance of the company the charge of
embezzlement. He was acquitted in the
Criminal Court, and his attorney, John M.
Bailey, brought a damage suit for $4,000.
The case came to trial Monday in the Cir
cult Court and continued until o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when it came to an alb
rupt conclusion. Koerner was put on the
witness stand and testified that while he
was associated with Lathrope. the books
were tempered with in order to shield
Lathrope, who was short in his accounts.
He said that the change in the books was
to be only temporary. At the conclusion
of Koerners evidence, John s. Duncan. at
torney for the defendant, moved to dismiss
the suit. Attorney Bailey, after consulting
with his client, agreed to dismiss and the
jury was discharged. Judge Brown held
that had Lathrope been tried and found
guilty of embezzlement, Koerner, under
the statute, would have been as guilty as
the manager.

NO SURGERY
A Discovery Which Will Interest
and Benefit Thousands.
t Removes the Necessity of Bar.
barous Surgical Operations.
Statements from Those Who Have
Tested 1t.

Modern medical science and skill has at
last succeeded in producing a remedy which
effectually cures that common, but extreme
~ annoying trouble, piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the remedy re-
ferred to, and repeated and thorough trials
of the remedy during the past three years
have demonstrated that it is the long
sought for remedy which can be depended
upon a genuine cure. There are many
remedies which give relief, but such relief is
only temporary and the trouble soon re-
turns, as bad or worse than ever. But the
Pyramid Pile Cure stands practically alone
as lasting cure. 1t not only gives inn
mediate relief but the relief is there to stay.
Mr.. J. w. Rollins, gentleman living at
Sweet Springs Mo-, writes briefly and to
the point regarding his experience with
piles. He says: / consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal. 1t cured me
in less than thirty days. / waited fifteen
days or more to be sure the remedy had
fully cured me before writing you. | can
now say l am cured, and / shall recommend
the Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible OPP
portunity because ii deserves 1t.
We quote from this gentleman's letter to
show our readers how promptly the remedy
trouble
The Pyramid Pile Cure is simple and
harmless, containing purely vegetable IN
gradients, and can be used in all cases with
perfect safety and with the assurance that
a cure will follow Physicians prescribe

ence to the danger and uncertainty of a
