A RELIC OF THE PAST.
surgical Operations for the Cure o.
Piles and Rectal Diseases
NO LONGER NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery Which Wilt
Change the Treatment Of All
such Diseases.

It has long been thought, not only by
some physicians, but by people in general
that the common, painful and exceedingly
annoying trouble. piles, was practically in
curable by any other means than surgical
operatiop, and this belief has been tho
cause of years of needless suffering, because
of the natural dread Of surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointments and
similar remedies on the market which afford
some relief In cases Of piles, but the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure is the only preparation SO far
introduced that can be reliably depended
upon to cure to stay cured every form OF
itching, bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs, NJ. C.. Hinkley OF COL Mississippi
street. Indianapolis, was told by her physl-
clans that nothing but surgical operation
costing between seven and eight hundred
dollars could cure her. as she had suffered
for fifteen years; yet even In such case
as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure accomplished
a complete cure. She says: II knew an
operation would be death TO me and tried
the Pyramid with very little hope, and 1t is
not to bew ondered at that am SO enthusi-
astic In its praise"
Major Dean OF Columbus. Ohio. says he
not to be wondered at that am so enthus-
suffered for forty years from piles and
twenty ears from itching piles. and In his
case two packages Of the Pyramid cured him.
Mr.. d. E. Reed OF South Lyons, Mich,
SAYS: / would not take $500 and be placed
back where was before used the Pyramid
Pile Cure. suffered for years, and 1t is
now eighteen months since / used II and
not the slightest trace of the trouble has re-
turned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
ali druggists at so cents and S1.OO per pack
age, and as II contains no opium, cocaine or
other poisonous drugs, can be used with per-
feet safety.
No one need suffer from piles In any form
who will give this excellent remedy q trial.

DENOUNCED SHERIFF AND JURY.
Verdict in the Boxarth Murder Trial
Condemned.

SIDNEY, Neb., Feb. 22.-(Special)-A cir
cular was distributed about the city yester-
day calling an Indignation meeting of the
citizens at the court house at 8 o'clock in
the afternoon to condemn the action of the
jury and the sheriff in the recent murder
trial held here. Edward McLernon was
elected chairman and Charles Callahan sec
retary. Speeches were made by more than
fifty of the leading citizens of the county
and the following resolutions were passed
unanimously:
Whereas. At the late term of the district
court held in Cheyenne county. Nebraska,
the verdict in the case of the State of Ne
braska against Fernando w. Bozarth was
not In accordance with the testimony sub
mitted, and
Whereas, 1t is currently and generally
Understood that certain jurors perjured
themselves in order to remain upon the
said jury, and,
Whereas, 1t appeared manifestly that the
sheriff Daniel McA.eese, did not exercise
care and impartialty in selecting said jury,
therefore, be 1t,
Resolved. That we, the citizens of Sidney
and Cheyenne county, in mass meeting as
sembed do condemn all such violations of
the law on the part of said jurors and of
said sheriff, and most sincerely repudiate
such conduct, being in the interest Of
lawlessness and crime and in violation of
all avs of state and morality.
1t simply means this, that hereafter it
won't be well for any criminal to commit
crime and go unpublished, especially where
the evidence Is conclusive and warrants a
different verdict

ways unsatisfactory to the, 200, sports who
attended there were two as pretty bouts
were ever seen. The first was in favor
Of "Nimble Jim" and the Second in favor
OF the Grand Island man.
NJ c. Mulick OF Lcup City acted as referee
and o. II. Tracey of this city as timer In
the first bout the aggressive work was done
entirely by "Nimble Jim who came very
near securing the first fall when he threw
the big man over his head. The match was
two falls out Of three, catch-as- catch can.
Sullivan claims that in this fall his arm
was sprained After some excellent work
"Nimbe Jim" secured the first fall in
eleven minutes.
The second bout was even finer exhibit
ton. Sullivan was repeatedly noored, but
the Wisner man had too much of job to get
him over on his shoulders. At the end Of
thirteen minutes Sullivan got an advantage
and by his superior strength and weight
forced his opponent to the canvas. Sullivan
remained entirely on the defensive. He was
easily hoored, but II was always face down
ward, and he showed no disposition to get
up. Galentin worked for an hour at the big
man, but could not get him up. Referee
Murphy once made him stand up but he
quickly sought the canvas again. and after
an hours bout Referee Mulick, whose work
as referee was generally complmented, de-
cided il a draw. Sullivan is about twenty
pounds heavier than Galentin, but he met

Husband Disappeared In Omaha.
0SCEOLA, Neb., Feb. 22.-(Special)-Th
long drawn out pension claim of Mrs. Mary
f. Wilson has been rejected on the ground
of the inability of the claimant to prove the
death of the soldier and that seven years
had not elapsed since his disappearance.
This claim has been pending for the past
six years. The last proof of Wilson being
seen alive was at Omaha in July, 1890. He
had rooms with man named Gabler and
went out in the morning and did not re-
turn. About that time cane and hat were
picked up on the banks of the Missouri,
at the foot Of Douglas street, and taken to
the police station. When Gabler learned of
1t he went to the station and recognized
them as the ones Wilson had His trunk
and clothing were left in the room at Ga
blers and sent to the widow here. The
trunk contained, with the other papers, his
pension certificate and the pension had not
been drawn since June, 1890. The people
of this county were able to satisfy Judge
Hurst that Wilson was dead and Mrs. Will
son was appointed administrative. The
claim was made special and put in the hands
of expert examiners, and they have never
been able to find any one that ever saw
Wilson alive after he left Gabler's, July s,
1890. The Bee had a long article about the
case at the time. He belonged to company
c, Thirteenth Iowa infantry, and was draw
ing a pension of s24 per month.
