WHEN ANY MAN FIRST NOTICES ANY

he should take the bull by the horns and get medi-

unless checked, it not only destroys the sexual
strength but the nervous system also, causing a

VETERANS INTERESTED.
Are Inmates of Soldiers Homes De
barred From VotingP

Denver, Nov. 18-From a letter re-
ceived yesterday by Attorney General
Carr, it would appear as though the
trouble experienced at voting on cleo
tiOn day by the inmates of the sol
diers' and sailors home at Monte Wis
ia, Colo, had been heralded all over
the country.
The letter in question came from an
inmate of a similar home in Erie, Pa,
who had been denied the privilege of
voting. He wanted some information
on the legality of the disability, and
enlightenment on other points. His
epistle is as follows:
Soldiers and Sailors Home, Erie
Pa, Nov. 8, 1S97-TO the Attorney
General of the State of Colorado-Sir:
Would you kindly inform me if the in
mates of the state home in your state
are allowed to vote, and if so, do they
have to pay the state or city taxes,
and if they are not permitted to vote,
what decision, if any, was given by
the courts?
I am an inmate of the home here,
and not permitted to vote and am de-
sirOus of having That disa bility remov-
ed. Any information you can give me
on the subject will be highly appreci-
ated by your humble servant
u. BLANCKENSEE.
Attorney General Carr replied as fol-
lows:
Mr.. J. BIancl1ensee, Soldiers Home.
Erie, Pa--Dear Sir: Your favor of
Nov. Sth is received and contents noted
The members of the state soldiers
and sailors home at Monte Vista
have always been allowed to vote at
that place, and their right to do so
has never been questioned until the
last election. At that time their votes
were challenged and the judges for
time refused to receive their votes, but
such a storm of Indignation was rails
ed that the judges weakened, and
when the members of the home swOre
in their votes, the judges received
them. They were all registered with
out question. The action of the judges
was based upon the opinion of two or
three good lawyers who declared the
doctrine that under our constitution no
person could acquire a residence by
reason OF his occupancy in an aims
house, prison or asylum. The matter
has never been determined by the
courts of this state. Cases have been
cited in New York and Michigan, hold
ing that members of the soldiers and
sailors homes have no right to vote
at the place where the home is located,
but that they retain their residence at
the place they moved from when they
went to the home Until the courts of
this state pass upon the question,
am unable to answer or give you
further light upon the subject Yours
very truly, BYRON L. CARR,
ATTORNEY General" ;"

BIG IOWA GEYSER.
Well at Eagle Lake Spouts Sand,
Rocks and Bits of Wood

EIdora, Iowa, Nov. 18.-A very pc
culiar phenomenon has just been dis
covered by Professor c. c. Stoner at
Eagle Lake, in Dickinson county north
of here. 1t is a veritabIe sand geyser
and came from digging a deep well on a
farm. From underneath the ground can
continuously be heard a deep rumbling.
When water is thrown into the mouth
of the we'll the rumbling ceases, and
first fine sand sOmes out, gradually in
creasing until rocks and sand are
thrown out and into the air to a height
of $50 feet. Sand fine and white gravel
red and yellow stones all colors and
large as hens eggs, and large pieces of
wood were all thrown out at these
spOutings.
After blowing half minute it will
stop, and then commencing again will
blow for five minutes. 1t is not known
what kind of gas is in the geyser.

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure


People who have suffered for years
or months from the pain and incOnven-
fence of that common disorder, piles,
will look with skepticism upon the
claims of the makers of the new dis
covery for cure of all forms of piles
known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy
are such as to warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas of sub-statfon
No 3, Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio.
writes as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co:
Gentlemen-I want YOU to use nv
name if it will be of any use to you
I was so bad with the piles that I lost
work on that account. Nothing did me
any good. l read in Cincinnati of the
Pile Cure and / went to a drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told
me that he had something else that he
thought was better, but I told him that
I wanted to try the Pyramid first
The first box helped me so much that
I tried another, and then to complete
the cure, used two more boxes making
four in all. am now completely
cured. Have not a trace of piles, and I
had suffered for four years with the
worst form of protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles but I
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. I have rec
commended it TO several of my friends.
and I am thankful to be able to write
you what good the remedy has done
for me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no OPT
un1, cocaine, or mineral poison of any
| kind, and because it is so safe and
pleasant to use, being painless and ap-
piled at night. The patient is cured in
a surprisingly short time with no in
convenience what ever
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at SO cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is well to
use the Pyramid Pills at the same time
with the Pile Cure. as constipation is
very often the cause of piles, and the
pills effectually remove the costive
condition. Price of pills is % cents per
package.

Mich, for little book on cause and
cure of piles; sent by mail free.

VOYAGE UNDER WATER.
An Oshkosh Man Stays Down Three
Hours in His Boat

Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 18.-Richard
Raddatz went down in the water of
Lake Winnebago yesterday afternoon
in his submarine boat
His companion on the trip was VIM.
H. Engelbright, proprietor of the IRE
mont house They remained under the
surface of the lake three hours, and
when they came to the top Raddatz
let out enough surplus air to have last
ed three hours more.
The trip was made more for the pur
pose of testing the air supply facilities
of the submarine craft than anything
else. The test was a success, the VOy
age under water being made without
hitch.
Raddatz declared after the trip that
the sale of his invention has been made
He declines to give the names or
price. The voyage today may have
had something to do with the consum-
nation of the deal. It is said the
syndicate that has purchased the in
vention is composed mostly of eastern
men, and it is thought that E. p. Allis
and another Milwaukee man are in the
com binatiOn.
During the three hours the boat was
down this afternoon, Mr.. Engelbright
declares the atmosphere within the
steel double cone was pure and whole
made to the depth of eleven feet. The
boat was not moved about much, as
the water was so dense and murky.
Raddatz says 1T is much harder to see
. under the surface in the fail than at
any other season OF the year, and Mr..
Engelbright admits that though he
stood up in the turret and peered out
through the glass globes, he could not
see much
Mr.. Engelbright says he was com
Portable in mind and body all the time
save that his feet got cold toward the
last. So steady was the, motion of the
boat that the vOyager can hardly dis
tinguish that it is going up or down
or even at all. With the hull of the
boat, submerged, merely the turret
protruding the vessel Travelled at a IA
mile an hour clip.
Mr.. Engelbright is enthusiastic in his
praise of the ease and certainty that
marked the movement of the vessel.
"A little lever back of where I sat
made the boat go up or down." said
he, and everything moved like clock
work. 1 never touched a bit of the
machinery. Raddatz told me that some
persons he had in the boat once got
panic-stricken when he locked the
hatchway and seized what they
thought was the valve to raise the boat
and put out the electric lights. Rad
datz left them out quite a while for a
lesson"
Engelbright claims that the test as
far as maintaining the purity of the
air is concerned, was an absolute dem
onstration.
I'VE stayed down a fraction over
three hours said he, "and when we
came to the top, ,Raddatz let out enough
air to last another three hours, 1
