city, payable to his mother, and this order
issued a circular letter. asking for proof
of his death, or if living, his whereabouts
Ills friends have for weeks been distracted.

oils, May 4, shows he is still alive. The mes
sage IS addressed TO j. o. Austin and is
as follows:

next week. ALMA HADLFY"
1t is not known yet whether Hadley in
tends to show up here or at the home of
his parents, in Friendswood, Ind. He has

FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The Doctors Wanted Seven
Dollars to Attempt the Case.

Dollars to Attempt the Case.
The following is a letter we received a
short time ago from Mrs. M. c. Hinkley.
6O2 North Mississippi street, Indianapolis,
Ind:
Gentlemen-While suffering intensely
from piles, l became interested in your adj
vertisement in one of our daily papers and
procured a package of your Pyramid Pile
Cure from our druggist. Contrary to my
expectations, fhe relief was instantaneous.
! used two boxes of the Pile Cure and one
Of the Pills and am convinced that they are
the only sure cure for piles on the market. I
have been a sufferer from piles for fifteen
years and have been confined to my bed
about one-half of the time. expecting and
wishing for death for the pain was so great.
l went to the college here and the doctors
said my case was a new one to them, the
great pain having brought on a large rup-
ture. which they wanted seven hundred doll
lars to cut out. l was very much afraid
that death would result from the blood pois-
oning which they said would result from
the operation. / feel as though / can't
praise the Pyramid Pile Cure and the Pyr-
amid Pills too highly as am convinced
cure 1 weighed only ninety pounds and now
/ weigh one hundred and fifty and feel as
we'll as / ever did in my life. You are at
liberty to use this m in any man
ner you may see fit, as l want all suffer-
ers from this terrible disease to know that
there has at last been compounded a REM
edy that will cure piles.
Mrs. NJ. c. HINKLEY.
There is no need of the danger, pain and
expense of a surgical operation for any
form Of piles. The Pyramid Pile Cure does
the work without pain and is the safest and
best. Remember also that the pyramid
Pills are a certain cure for constipation act
ing without gripping and restoring natural
action to the bowels.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents and 81, and the Pyramid
pills at % cents, or by mail from Pyramid

STARTED BY A NUN.
Another version of the origin of the fire
is as follows: There was a nun at the stall
of the Duchess Dues, who lighted a
spirit lamp under a toy balloon, which took
fire, the flames then speedily connecting
with the draperies. The first terrible fact
realized was the absence of water. AS has
repeatedly happened in Paris the firemen,
though brave even to death, were hampered
by defective appliances. Though they cut
with their axes through the planks and
tfelllS work, comparatively few persons
were able to make their escape in that way.
A gang of thieves was active in the crowd
of spectators and friends of the victims.
and several were caught in the act of
pOCketpicking.
The remains removed to the Palais de
Industries fill fourteen large vans and
several ambulances.
The lady superior of the Sisters of the
Assumption said in the course of an inter-
view: The crowd was very large. To-day
was a fashionable day. The object was to
make, as much money as possible, and
everybody put in an appearance. The crowd
was chiefly made up of ladies, and there
was a very densely crowded group near
our counter when an employee of the kline
matograph rushed up. Baron Macken whis-
pered, Fire has broken out. Keep quiet.
don't scream, whatever you do. / will warn
the ladies' | replied, IT is too late News
of the fire was already all over the place
and everybody was rushing to the one exit
When the flames spread to the stalls the
public completely lost their heads. The
shrieks of the women and the children were
h~eartrending. The weaker were knocked
down and trampled and everything was
confusion"

Ter has died of his injuries. To the list of

MAN IN EVERY COUNTY
DEMOCRATS sCRAMBLING TO Sue
CEED HOLMAN IN CONGRESS.
Further Returns from Town Elections
show that Republicans Gener-
ally Held Their own.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

GREENSBURG, Ind, May 4.-The con-
gressional contest since the funeral of
Judge Holman grows more interesting each
day, and it is now certain that each county
in the district will present the name Of a
candidate when the Democratic convention
meets. Hon. John Overmyer hopes to cap
ture the free-trade Republican farmers.
Hon. w. H. Bracken, the present collector,
claims to be the rightful legatee, and his
candidacy is strongly urged. He was a
candidate against Judge Holman in 1892 for
the nomination, and from the brilliant can
vass he made it was then conceded he
should have it the next time Cleveland
was. however, elected. and Bracken be-
came a candidate against DR.. Hunter for
the collectorship, and as Hunter had for a
quarter of a century been the bosom friend
of Holman and the political manager since
his first election, Holman naturally favored
Hunter, and hesitated for some time as to
which he would recommend until Senator
Voorhees, said if a collector were not at
once named he would suggest to the Presl-
dent Captain Bracken, whom Holman i'm
mediately Endorsed, and by the act
eStranged the heretofore cordial relations
between Hunter and himself, and Bracken
became the legatee of Holman instead OF
Hunter.
Rodman L. Davis, of Ohio county, who
for more than fifteen times seconded the
nomination of Holman, is also a candidate:
Marion Grifiths, of Vevay, ather-in-law of
Hon. M. X. Sulzer, and Nicholas Cornett,
of Versailles, representing the younger eleo
ment of the Democratic party, are also
candidates. Allen w. Clark. of the New
Era, now appears on the political arena,
and in an editorial which he reproduces by
request setting forth a platform or policy
for the nominee. He says:
THE nomination will not be made by
men who assisted the Republicans, but by
the regular Democracy, that took off its
coat for Holman and Bryan.
THE fight will be made on the silver
question, and the nominee must unquestlon-
ably and without distrust be one who will
protest against the overthrow of our con-
stitutional currency, defend the greenback,
the dollar that saved the Union.
He must be an intelligent bimetallist,
one who has mastered the subject and can
present the claims of the silver restoration
lists and one who six months ago let his
light shine"
This fits Clark himself. He is an original
silver man, and his paper the first IN the
State to declare for the white metal, and
he is the one who would unquestionably
and without distrust vote against the over
throw and for the restoration, and his
light was not hid under a bushel, as ne was
known as the king of the silver push;
Reports from out townships are favorable
to Clark,
