continuously evolved out of new apph- , anees and in the electric street railway car the process Is rapid. Its lines tra- verse our crowded thoroughfares and the public demand for rapid transit has, with the increase of hazards involved, neces- sitated additional -eeatpixanees to @fain- imf4e the risks. Tn 4enTyve ed~ controllers, brakes, lenders, etc, we have ttempts made to keep speed and security atspar For all this and in the face of all precau

 but there can be no doubt that fllnch of this might be avoided, if not rendered impossible, by improved appliances. These are continually, cropging upF and among one of the 1atesf we note stas htss.n

No one familiar with the duties incumbent on .motpfman. but Knows how onerous the itaxJlmust be t,01 his nerves and attentiom 1.-The 'meehsn nism in his charge is sub-divided. He. has brake, controller gong. sand box etc. to handle with pfsHip tftude al1T exact- ness. In emergencies he must be swift of hand and calculafion, and have itnme

It is obvious that under this constant tension on his mind nerves and hands. the simplifying of -his duties is necessary The invention nained,sis in this direction. The brake and the con troller are manipulated by one handle instead of two. With the new appliance 1t is claimed that the current cannot be admitted to the motors Untif the brakes are released, and a more direct and effective control of the csrscan be secured in case of emergency. If such be the case something has been done to simplify calculation, which is really one of the more urgent improve ments needed in street car mec chanism,
 The salient features of MT Hardy's invention are that one movement of the brake handle first cuts off the electric current at the rheastat.- or controller. and then sets the brake. The reverse movement of the same handle Eeleases the brake and turns, on the curnAnt. The device also permits the use of the rat chet" handle in applying. the hfake and the same handle becomes rigidsSor s1iNed, for the turning oneaof stlYea current by pressing with the thumb a button in the hand-piece of the handle. The device referred to in the article quoted from the Age of Steel requires a. handle al all times rigid. so that the ratchet handle Is not available in competitor with it, and the motormen are unanimous in fa- vor of the ratchet.

 Officers Purpose.
 

Chief of Police Tom Mcdonald is far away from his headquarters in Birning ham, but the way he has held on to the willy scamp who victimized and feeced MT. William Dobbins, the well-known market gardener, of 5000 of his hard earned dollars, should be a caution to gold brick swindlers and pseudo-Indian accomplices
 In response to instructions the State Herald's special correspondent at Hous- ton wired as below:
 Houston, Tex, Jan. 30-(Specialo- Steve Pratt, the gold brick swindler. will leave tomorrow morning for Birming- ham, Ala. in charge of Chief of Police Mcdonald of that city, who has been here several days awaiting the tedious delays of legal complications.
 Pratt was taken to Galveston today on haoeas corpus hearing, through which ne hoped to be admitted to bail at his examining trial His bond was fixed at $500, but Sheriff Erickson has refused all tenders of bond so that the Birmingham authorities could get him. Pratt resorted to habeas corpus proceedings, but before the hearing was concluded he withdrew his application and agreed to return to Alabama at once. The sheriff here has taken the law into his own hands, and firmly refused to allow Pratt his liberty, although good and sufficient bond was offered. The theory is that if Pratt is allowed bond that he will disappear and the ends of justice be frustrated Pratt has number of accomplices in this part of the state, who are watching every movement, and who will probably accom- pany him to Alabama.
 Pratt's Attorneys Struggle.
 The Houston Post of Wednesday had the following:.
 Steve Pratt the gold brick man, will be given a taste of salt air today. This morning Sheriff Albert Erickson and Chief of Police Mcdonald, accompanied by Steve Pratt, departed for Galveston The habeas corpus hearing will come up before Judge k. D. Gavin in that city and the attorneys for Pratt will make hard fight to secure the release of their client. Yesterday the attorneys for the accused presented a new bond for the approval of the sheriff. The bond was all right, but the sheriff refused to accept 1t for req sons best known to himself. The extra dition papers have arrived and Pratt will be taken to Alabama to face "Uncle Will, liam" Dobbins in open court, should the charge against him here fail to stick"

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
Iy, Painlessly, Without Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. Then try this, and that and
the other thing; from carrying buck.
eye to getting treatment from physi
clan. They obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting, excessive fatigue,
a little constipation or little diarrhoea
and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position ! comfortably. There is in.
tense local pain and that dreadful feel.
ing of weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some Ct the
many salves on sale will afford tempora.
ry relief. If the case is of long standing
there is only one speedy and sure RENE
dy. 1t is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in
light cases it is the safest thing to use.
Other applications may cure and may
not. Pyramid Cure is always certain,
always reliable, always brings comfort at
once. Its prompt use saves months of
severe suffering. In extreme cases it will
save su giCal operations and their at.
tendant dangers and discomforts. 1t is
better than knife. Will cure easier,
quicker and safer. Thousands have
used it. Thousands have been cured by
it. The cost is trifling compared with
what it does. The price is 80 cents.
Most anybody would gladly pay ten dol.
lars to be rid of piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't it he will get it for you

A New Railroad That will Strike the
c., c, & s. at Congress Lake.


Lisbon, March 24.-(Speoial )--The
foreclosure of mortgage on the Pitts
burg, Marion and Chicago railroad, and
the consequent order Of sale, as an
nounced by those connected with the
road, will be the first step toward trans
forming merely local line of minor i'm
portance into a road that will have an
important bearing upon railroad matters
in this section Of the state The existing
road extends from this city to New Cali
lee, Pa, distance Of twenty-five miles,
where 1t connects with the Fort Wayne
The bonds, to secure which the mortgage
was given, are owned by New York syn
dictate, and II Is announced that they will
purchase the road at the sheriff's sale on
April 10, with the purpose of extending
the line both east and west and forming
another direct route between Pittsburg
and Cleveland. The western extension
will be to Alliance, and thence by the
most direct route to Congress Lake, on
the line between Stark and Summit
counties, when it will strike the Cleve-
land, Canton and Southern railroad,
which is about to pass under the control
of the same syndicate. Eastward the
road will be completed primarily to
Wampum, where it will connect with the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie and Pittsburg
and Western railroads and ultimately tn
Pittsburg. The name of the line will be
changed to Pittsburg, Lisbon and
Western.

THE CAUSE OF LAGRIPPE.
Now Admitted to be from Derapged
Digestion.

Careful observation in many cases of
La Grippe extending over several years
have gradually developed the fact that 1t
is very generally caused from dieteUic
errors
In other words during the prevalence
Of La Grippe, persons who suffer from
indigestion or stomach troubles are
almost in |ariably victims of the epi-
demic.
This can be readily understood when
you remember that the germs of any dis
ease cannot gain foothold in the system
Of a man or woman who is blessed with
perfect digestion because perfect digestion
means perfect health, and such persons
can bid defiance to La Grippe or to any
other prevailing epidemic.
For this reason physicians have recent
ly introduced into their practice the new
preparation known as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets as an almost certain preventure of
La Grippe, as this remedy by giving per-
feet digestion and assimilation of the
food so fortifles the system against dis
ease that all danger from this epidemic is
reduced TO minimum.
So popular have Stuarts' Dyspepsia
Tablets become that 1t is claimed within
