DOWN HARD ON THE ROW.
A Nest of Perjury as Well as Other
Vices that Should Go.

Carrie Purnell is at liberty again, and
Ben Bradshaw has neither his SIS nor
that amount of revenge. Carrie Pur-
nell is a, black denizen of Smoky Row
and Bradshaw is a young coIored
man who was janitor at the house of
representatives during the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature.
A week ago the Purnell woman was
arrested on complaint of Bradshaw,
who claimed that she had robbed him
of SIS while in a room on lower Kansas
avenue. Yesterday afternoon she was
tried before Justice Furry, but by rea-
son of testimony given by a number of
other habitues of Topeka's tough dis
trict, the state was unable to make a
case against her, and she was discharg-
ed, although there was but little doubt
as to her guilt.
As a result of the testimony given
before Justice Furry yesterday. it is
probable that several of the witnesses
who appeared on behalf of the Purnell
woman Will be arrested on the serious
charge of perjury. 1t has come to be
a common thing with Smoky Row char
acters, when arrested, to call upon their
companions to appear in their behalf,
and number of times criminals have
been cleared by such testimony in
cases where there was no doubt that
they were guilty. BY making examples
of some of these people the attorneys
for the state hope to put a stop to this
practice.

TILLMAN SEES M'KINLEY.
The President Inquired Inter ested1y
About the Pitchfork.

Washington, March 27.-Ben Tillman
went to the White House today. 1t
was his first visit to the executive man
sion since he has been in the city. The
South Carolina senator was one of the
first men to talk with the president, and
they had a chat of 10 minutes. The
president inquired how the senator liked
his work and whether things were quiet
enough for him; also, desiring to know
if the prOngS of the pitchfOrk were
sharpened. Then the president men
toned the extra session of congress and
expressed the belief that the passage of
a tariff bill would do much to brighten
things up in the country.
We'll. we Will see what it will do, >"
said Tillman. Il know that the patient
is very sick. We will try your physic
and if that does not cure him we will
have to try ours. which. 1 think, is the
only thing which will cure him."
The two men parted with mutual
pleasant words. 1t is a we'll known
fact that Senator Tillman hated ex-
President Cleveland so f1ercely that he
never spoke to him during mis- last
term, and never Endorsed an applicant
who wanted office under Cleveland.
The senator is full of praise of the de-
mocracy of President Mckinley.

however, she arose to the surface and,
heading down stream, swan full mile

Her efforts were of no avail, for the

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of SIeepIessness That Can
BE Readily Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Handschu of 46th ST., Cotton
Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself
as follows regarding the new remedy for
that common and obstinate disease.
piles: 81 take pleasure in stating that
was so afflicted with piles that for three
months 1 got regular sleep; 1 became
completely Frustrated. the doctors did me
good; my brother told of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure;
purchased from my druggist three so
cent boxes and they completely cured me.
1 am once more at my work and but for
this excellent medicine 1 should be on my
back. I take great pleasure in writing
this letter because many people are
sufferers from this trouble who like my
self did not know where to look for
permanent, reliable, safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
in the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession, we'll as to
thousands of sufferers from piles, that it
is the safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered to the public. containing no
opiates or poisons of any kind, painless
and convenient to handle, and being sold
by druggists at so cents and 81 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other RENE
dies for years
There is scarcely g. disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the
various forms of piles and it is a common
practice to use ointE1ents, salves and sim
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all of these inefect-
ual remedies and no one suffering with
any rectal trouble will make any mis-
take in giving the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.,
Albion, Mich, for a valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as it is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and if you
ask him he can doubtless refer you to
many people in your vicinity who have
been cured completely by it.
