kidnapped Child Located.

A telegram was received by Superintend-
ent Powell yesterday afternoon from w.
H. Bennett, city marshal OF Kokomo, to the
effect that the Dunn child who was re-
ported to have been kidnapped here Tuesday,
is in that city in the care of it's father and
grandmother. The child is Agnes Dunn,
and has been living with her mother, Mrs.
Minerva Dunn, at 100 East Washington
street.
Mrs. Dunn has sued for divorce from her
husband in an ONO court, and the child
was in her possession pending a verdict.
Yesterday the father appeared at the
ter, and told the domestic that he wanted
to take the little one out and buv her a
pair of shoes. When he did not return last
night it was reported to the police station
that the child had been kidnapped. Police
officers were placed at the railroad stations,
but it is supposed that the father drove
to one of the suburbs and there took the
train.

Wonderful Cures Made all
Over the Country.
Every Form Of Piles Yields To It

In spite of the fact that the Pyramid Pile
Cure Is SO well known as a certain cure for
every form of piles, there are still many peo-
pie who think a surgical operation the only
sure cure.
Hundreds of thorough trials in the hands
Of physicians and patients have proven be-
yond a doubt, however, that surgical opera
tons for piles are unnecessary, cruel, many
times dangerous to life, and a relic of bar
barisn1. The Pyramid Pile Cure will cure
any form of piles effectually and without
a particle of pain or inconvenience, at slight
expense and no danger whatever, as it is
perfectly harmless. The way it affects pa
TENTS who use it may be inferred from the
followin from Mr.. E. Crook, of Waterloo.
Ia:
Gentlemen-I have used the Pyramid Pile
Cure and it is out of sight, the best thing 7
ever tried. / think it has entirely cured me.
l have told Mr.. Knapp, our druggist here.
about it and he has ordered some. This
remedy is a great thing for piles.
From Mrs. c. G. Spillman, Huntsville.
Ala: Not long since you sent my husband
some of your Pyramid Pile Cure and it did
him so much good that I want to write to
you and tell you about it, as he suffered
very much and nothing seemed to reach his
case until he tried the Pyramid:
have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and re-
suits have been entirely satisfactory. There
can be no question but that it is a certain
and lasting cure for piles, at least it has so
proven in my case.
Miss Easter Nunley, of Tracy City. Tenn,
writes: The Pyramid Pile Cure has done
my sister more good than anything she has
ever taken. 1 have nothing but words of
warm commentator for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has become recog-
nized as the only standard pile cure strictly
on its merits and what 1t has repeatedly
done in obstinate cases both in private
practice of reputable physicians and in in
dividual cases.
1t is so cheap as to be within the reach of
all classes of people, and druggists every
where state that it gives universal satisfac-
ton, which can hardly be otherwise when 1t
is that it is composed of the
best remedies known to the medical pro-
f~esSion, in treatment of rectal diseases.

that the town may have control Of the ter
ritory adjoining White river for the purpose
OF establishing and maintaining a thorough

Argument In an Old Subsidy Case.
oral argument was heard yesterday in the
supreme Court in the case of the litigation
between the indianapolis, Decatur & West
ern railroad concerning a subsidy voted to
the road a number of years ago on condition
that the company build certain shops in this
city. The shops were built, but not ac-
cording to contract, as the township alleges,
and the case went to court to be settled.
Since then the road has changed hands and
maintains that it acquired all the rights of
the old corporation. Judge Hackney, then
sitting on the Shelby Circuit Bench, decided
that the successor did not acquire the rights
of the old road, from which an appeal was
taken. He did not therefore sit as a Su-
preme judge in the oral argument yesterday.

been paying 50 every three months as inter-
est on a $39 loan. Wilson said he merely
held the certificate for safe keeping. and. as
it could not be proved that he didn't, he was
released. Commissioner Van Buren, said
when a man held a pension certificate be-
longing to a person owing him. money the
circumstances were suspicious, but in Will
sons case there was an absence of conclu-
sive evidence.

and succeeded in signaling the train
to stand still just in the nick OF
time.
Miss Wilson was returning to her
home on Elm street In the suburbs of
the town at about 1880, and took the
railway track. A short distance
from the crossing she encountered
some obstacles over which she stum-
bled and fell, and discovered two
huge boulders and a quantity of side
walk planking placed upon the track,
with the intention cf wrecking the
passenger train, due at the crossing at
1885. She tried to move the ohstruc-
ton, but found it was utterly impos
sible. While tugging at it she heard
tie whistle of the locomotive as it left

house, burst into the kitchen, seized a
lighted kerosene lamp and rushed
out. She reached the track Just in
time to signal and stop the eastbound
train within forty feet CT the obstruc-
