Eugene Thayer, the well-known orGanist,
publishes in Trinity Herald, an analysis of
tho music Of Niagara Falls. He says:
at had ever been my belief that Niagara
had not ben heard as 1t should be, and in
this belief ! turned my steps hitherward.
What did | hear? The roar Of Niagara
| heard nothing but a perfectly constructed,
musical tone. clear. definite, and unap-
proachablc in its majestic perfection, com
plete series OF tones, all uniting In one
grand and noble unison, as in the organ
Mr. Thayer then described at some length
tho compound nature OF a given tone, and IL
lustTatos the oyertonCs or partialS OF the
lowest c OF the thirty-two-foot pipe of tho
organ. Then he continues:
II had long had a suspicion that should
hear all this at Niagara when her wonderful
voice should first greet my ears. II was Just
as had supposed. How should prove an
this? My first step was TO visit tho bo2utl-

VERDICT WAS FOR THE CITY
Jury Finds Joel l.. Stewart Not En-
titled to DnmnGeS.

titled to Damages.
The jury in the damage suit Of Joel L.
Stewart against the city of Council Bluffs
returned a sealed verdict on Saturday night
which was opened yesterday and found to
be for the city, as predicted by The Bee
on Sunday morning.
The suit was an action brought by Mr..
Stewart to recover $4,000 damages which
he claimed to have sustained by reason Of
the change of grade in front Of his home
Fourth street. The case was tried once
and verdict returned for the city. 1t was
appealed and the supreme court remanded
it for another trial. An offer on Mr.
Stewards part to compromise was rejected
by the council, and the case went to trial
again with verdict for the city.
But the matter is not settled yet. Mr.
Stewart yesterday filed a motion for new
trial. The motion cites the usual grounds
that the verdict was not sustained by the
evidence; that the verdict was contrary
to law and contrary to the instructions Of
the court. The motion also sets up excep-
tions to a number Of the instructions of
Judge Thornell. The court instructed the
jury that under the law damages could not
be secured for the original establishment
Of a grade of street, but only for change
of grade, and that the evidence was that
the grade of Story street had never been
established until in 1880, and that the
jury should not consider any damage oc-
cesioned by the fill on Story street. An
other instruction of the court was that the
plaintiff must show that the improvements
on his property were made after the es-
tablishment of the grade of Fourth street
in 1869, and prior to the change Of grade
in 1880. and that the property was dimn-
ished in value by reason Of the change
of grade made in 1880. To these instruc-
ticns of the court the plaintiff excepts and
asks for a new trial.

MERCHANTS WILL ORGANIZE
Retail Dealers VIII Form an Association for
Mutual Benefit.
PLANS TO PROTECT THE LOCAL TRADE
Projects Under Consideration To Al
vance the Material Interests OF the
city Generally and the Retail
Trade In Particulars.

In keeping with the action OF the retail
merchants in other cities the dealers Of
Council Bluffs will meet this evening at
the court house for the purpose Of consld-
ering the best plans for the advancement
Of the business interests of the city in
general and with special reference to plans
for the benefit Of the retail trade.
A call has been circulated and generously
sigred for the meeting, and while nothing
definite has been determined in advance the
general plan is to form local association
of business men for the protection of the
city's interests. In these times when
money Is SLOW and competition sharp the
merchants of the different towns and cities
have been compelled to form an alliance for
the protection of the trade that really be-
lorgs to them, and to adopt unusual efforts
to secure new trade Some Of the smaller
town merchants have formed a syndicate
and gone into the grain business and agreed
to purchase all of the corn the farmers
would bring them at the market price, and
thus secured a trade that would otherwise
have gone 20 rival markets. This plan has
been tried with success at Oakland and
other places. and may be one of the meas
ures discussed at the meeting tonight
Following Is the call and the list of mer-
chants who have signed it:
We the undersigned, agree to meet at
the court house Tuesday evening, February
IL, at o'clock, for the purpose of erecting
an organization to promote the interests OF
Council Bluffs, and especially of the retail

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED by
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching piles,
indicated by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the parts af-
fected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes gives
temporary relief, but nothing like a perma-
nent cu!e can be expected from such superb
cial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not
only for itching piles, but for every other
form Of piles, blind, bleeding or protrudng
The first APPLICATION gives instant relief. and
the continued use for short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumOr or the small
parasites which cause the intense itching
and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid pile Cure was because 1t was sup
posed TO contain cocaine. opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis Of the remedy showed IL to
be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium
or in fact any poisonous, injurious drug what
ever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably tho only pile cure extensively rec
commended by physicians, because 1t is 80
safe, so prompt in the relief afforded and
so far as known the only positive cure for
piles except as urgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has be-
come the best known, the safest and the
most extensively sold Of any pile cure be-
fore the public.
Nearly all drugg SITS now sell II at SO cents
and $1.00 per package.
Address Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich, for
book on cause and cure OF piles and also
hundreds Of testimonials from all parts OF
the United States
If suffering from any form OF piles ask
your druggist for package Of Pyramid Pile
Cure and try 1t tonight.

"CuT" Johnson's Chances of Getting
Out of the Penitcntiary Good.

Out of the Penitcntiary Good.
Colonel d. b. Daley left for Des Moines
last evening for the purpose Of laying be-
fore the Board OF Pardons. which meets to-
day, the application for the pardon Of Cuff"
Johnson the negro who was convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life for
the murder Of an old man named McGon-
igal
The murder occurred in December, 1884
McGorigal was an inoffensive old laborer,
who got drunk one night and exhibited In
an Upper Broadway saloon the few dollars
that remained of his weeks salary. John
son was present In the saloon with lot of
other negroes. and In the morning when the
body of the old man was found in an out
house near the old Western hotel there were
circumstances that pointed to the guilt of
Cuff Johnson He was arrested, tried and
convicted, but upon purely circumstantial
evidence. He always protested his innocence
and many people have come to believe him.
In the penitentiary he has been a model
prisoner. Colonel Daley, who prosecuted
the case, has taken the lead in securing
a pardon, and for the last week or more
he has been quietly circulating petition
asking the state board to give the old dar-
key his liberty. The petition bears the names
of all the jurymen who can be found who
rendered the verdict the court officers
judges on the bench at the time and at the
present time, and nearly the entire bar OF
Pottawattamie county. When Colonel DALEY
left for Des Moines last night he bore with
him formidable petition and the convic-
tion that he was doing good deed with
excellent prospects of success.
A great deal of red tape remains to be
gone through with after the Board OF Par
dons acts favorably upon the petition. Both
houses of the state legislature must pass
a special act authorizing the governor to
sign the pardon before Johnson can be given
his liberty,
