SHAH ASSASSINATED
The Ruler of Persia Shot and
Instantly Killed.
he WAS ENTERING A TEMPLE.

The Assassin Was Disguised as Woman.
His Name Is MoIIah Reza and Is Sup
posed to BE From Babec-The News
Confirmed at the State Department in
Washington.
TEHERAN, Persia, May 2.-While the
shah was entering the inner court of
the shrine of Shah Abdul Aim, six
miles south of this city, yesterday, he
was Ssot by a revolutionary fanatic,
whose name is Mollah Reza, and he is
supposed to be from Babec. He was
arrested after he had committed the
deed
Much discomfort has existed for some
time through the DEAFNESS of provisions,
partly caused by the excessive issue of
copper coins.
Considerable alarm prevails here and
Prince Naib Els Sultaneh, third son of
the late shah, has retired to his palace
at the request of the government.
Nascir- edDin, shah of Persia, was
born April "a, 1929, and succeeded to
the throne on September 10, 1913, on
the death of his father. He was
crowned at Teheran, October 20, 1S49.
and his valiahd, or heir apparent, is his
eldest son, Muzuf-er ed-Din. who was
born March 20, 1858, and has four sons
and 10 daughters
The form of government in Persia, in
its most important features, is similar
to that of Turkey. All the laws are
based on the precepts of the Koran, and
the power of the shah is absolute.
Teheran, the capital, has a population
of 100000.
The population of Persia is estimated
at 100000.
The dead monarch was well known
i'll Europe, having visited the chief
cities some years ago. He was a re-
markable figure, from the fact that
he generally appeared at social func-
tons wearing from 100000 to $780,
100000 worth of diamonds and other
jewels.
The Shah was nick-named the "Dia.
mond King of Kings"

Cholera Cured by Lightning.

KoKoMo, Ind, May 2.-Thursday a
farmer named Graft, residing north of
this city, having lost number of hogs
by cholera, started with load of the
carcasses to a soap factory, among the
load being one hog that proved not to
be entirely dead. While on the road to
the rendering establishment storm
came up and lightning struck the rear
end of the wagon, whereat one of the
supposed carcasses jumped to it's feet,
and leaping from the wagon, ran up the
pike as mad as the swine of old that
rushed into the sea. The animal was
captured after hot chase, and is now

SWEEPING DECISION.
Local Legislation Knocked Out
by the Supreme Court.
SEVERAL LAWS ARE IN DANGER.

Bills Which Have Been Rushed Through
the Legislature Under the Guise of Bo-
ing General in Their Application-other

COLUMBUS, O., May 2.-The supreme
court has announced the syllabus in the
case of Peter Hixson VS.. John Burson
ct al, commissioners of Athens county.
Error to the circuit court of Athens
county. The court places itself on rec
ord in the following language:
First-Under Section 26 of Article
OF the constitution, the constitutionality
OF an act is determined by the nature
OF its subject matter, its operation and
effect, and not alone by its form.
Second-The act of May 16, 1894, en-
titled "An act to authorize the county
commissioners to provide for the con-
struction, improvement and repair of
public highways" 81 o. l.. 729, is I'M
constitutional in this, that its subject
matter is general, while its operation
and effect are local. The second sylla-
bus Of the state ex rel. Hibbs VS.. COM
missioners of Franklin county, 30 Ohio
st. 45S, is overruled.
Third-The act being unconstitution-
al, the contemplated road improvement
can not be made lawful by a vote in
favor thereof by the people to be affect
ed thereby.
Judgment reversed and cause re-
manded.
1t is said by leading lawyers here
that this decision will entirely invali-
date all the "ittle local" bills that were
rushed through the legislature under
the fraudulent guise Of being general
in form, and that it means that every
one will have to fall under the law.
This is the most far-reaching decision
ever promulgated by the supreme
court, and will do more to compel the
general assembly to conform to the con-
stltutional requirements that all laws
shall be of uniform operation, than any
other decision ever rendered.
This decision of the court puts in
danger every local law on the statute
books and renders the holding of con-
stitutional convention imperative. 1t
is even said that the Cincinnati water
works law will be affected by this de-
cision.

Anatolia.
NEW YORK, May DIR. A. Monroe
Lesser, executive surgeon of the Red
Cross hospital in this city, has received
letter from Miss Clara Barton dated
Constantinople, April ~, in which she
says that contagious diseases have
spread very much at Zeitoun and Ma.
rash, i'll the interior of Anatolia. The
first news of the trouble, Miss Barton
says, came from the assemblage of for
eign consuls at Zeitoun to Sir Philip
Currie and request for me to try and
reach there with help.
The patients are in need of every
thing, and as the mountainous roads
were impossible, being covered with
snow, eight physicians from the medi-
cal college in Beyrout, Syria, under the
direction of the distinguished American
physician, DR.. @. Y. Harris, volun-
teered to go and attend to the patients
Miss Barton writes that DR.. Hubbell, in
charge Of an expedition at Marash, tel
egraphed that more doctors were need
ed and that great deal of medicine
and concentrated food were also need
ed. The diseases prevalent are typhus
and typhoid fever, smallpox, dysentery
and the death rate is very large.

Business Has Improved but Very Little
During the Past Week.


During the Past Week.
New YORK, May 2.-R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade says
AS the season advances there is more
business, but advices indicate that Oh
the whole the prevalent feeling is that
the gain is less than there is reason to
expect. While retail trade has been
active enough to materially lessen stocks
and obligations, and thus to prevent a
great many threatened embarrassments,
it has not yet brought enough new bus
mess to mills and factories to prevent
decrease of untitled orders and closing
of some works. Substantially the same
state of things exists in all the great in
dustries, Notwithstanding the strong
combination in some, and evidence of
inadequate consumption appears in the
fact that the general range of prices for
commodities, farm and mine as well as
manufactured products, is nearly per
cent lower than it was April ! and the
lowest ever known, the decline since
October, 1892, being 1877 per cent.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Sensational Debate in the Senate and but
Little Done in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The debate in
the senate yesterday was of a dramatic
and sensational character, recalling the
famous Ingalls, Voorhees, contest some
years ago. Senator Tillman of South
Carolina again brought his unique per-
sonality into the debate, his speech be-
ing the first of any length since his
memorable maiden effort, attacking
public officials high and low. While he
spoke yesterday the silver pitchfork re-
Gently presented to him in the west was
conspicuously displayed on his scarf
The senator used the blunt words char
acteristic of his utterances, arraigning
the president and cabinet officers with
unsparing criticism and personal in
vective. He also addressed himself per-
sonally to Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Sherman
and drew from the former several sharp
rejoinders, while Mr.. Sherman declined
to be brought into controversy with
the South Carolina senator.
Mr.. Hill spoke freely and frankly of
his differences with the officers of the
administration, and in particular re-
ferred to the grievous mistake, as he re-
garded it, of Secretary Carlisle in not
supporting Senator Blackburn when the
latter was the nominee of Democratic
caucus. The senator discussed internal
party affairs, urging harmony and the
termination of venomous assaults by
Democrats on a Democratic president.
He spoke for two hours and was ac-
corded the closest attention. The de-
bate attracted great crowd to the SEN
ate wing of the Capitol the greatest
since congress assembled, filling the
senate galleries and OVERLOOKING into
the corridors where long lines of people
struggled for admission.

NEWS REACHES LONDON.
An Article in The Times Furnishes a
Cause for the Assassination.

An III Inc Times Furnishes a
Cause for the Assassination.
LONDON, May News of the assasl-
nation of the shah of Persia reaches
here in dispatches from Teheran, but
details are not given. 1t is known that
the shah was arranging for great
celebration of his accession on May 6.
At the Persian legation in this city
the opinion Is expressed that the muir
der was the deed of fanatic and was
not the outcome of any especially de-
signed movement But according to q
dispatch which has been received here
from Teheran, via ST. Petersburg, the
assassin was a member of the Babi
secret society, a criminal association
which has hitherto made attempts upon
the shah's life.
An article in The Times on the late
shah calls to mind that at the beginning
of his reign he put to death by thou
sands the members of the Babi sect,
whose crusade against the corruption of
the public and private manners i'll Per-
sla was so popular as to become q men,
ace to the government.
THE chief apprehensions that now
arise says The Times, fare lest the
new shah's eldest brother, Iii Els Sui
tan, should attempt to dispute the Access
sion. (The late shah is succeeded by
his second son, and not the eldest SOM.
Iii Els Sultan is governor Of Isphan and
was for long time the virtual ruler of
Southern Persia, till the late SHAH in
1890, greatly reduced his power and dis
banded his regiments"
Mr.. George n. Curzon, under secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, who is
an acknowledged authority on Persia,
considers the new shah man of great
intelligence, but he has been 50 secluded
all his life as to have no knowledge of
the duties incumbent upon him as ruler
of Peria

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles
Quickly, PninIessIy, Without
Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. They try this and that and
the other thing; from carrying buck
eye to getting treatment from a physi-
clan. They obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting, excessive fati-
que, a little constipation or a little
diarrhoea and the piles come back
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable. There is in
tense local pain and that dreadful feel
ing of weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves on sale win afford
temporary relief. If the case is of long
standing there is only one speedy and
sure remedy. 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. It's prompt use saves
months of severe suffering. In ex-
IRENE cases it will save surgical opera
tons and their attendant dangers and
discomforts. 1t is better than a knife
Will cure easier, quicker and safer.
Thousands have used it. Thousands
have been cured by it. The cost is triff-
ing compared with what it does. The
price is so cents. Most anybody would
gladly pay ten dollars to be rid Of piles.
