WICHITA WINS AT GALVESTON
Guy Seaman Married and Defles n
Eather.in- Law.

Guy Seaman Married and Def1es Hi
Eather.in-Law
Guy g. Seaman. aged 10, formerly OF
tais city. and Miss Helen Phillips, age
Is. iormerIy o. Fort Scott, Kan, were
married in Galveston some time ago.
The groom Is well known to many Of the
res idents Of Wichita. being a son of
Squire Seaman. for many years a
grocer on the West Side. Guy studied
law for about a year in the Office Of
O'Bryan & Gordon. prior to his leaving
the city for Galveston. Although young
at that time. something over three years
ago. Guy was promising lad Of bril-
liant parts, but perhaps a little I'M
pulsive. He has hosts Of well wishers at
his OLD home who trust that he and his
young wife may enjoy many Of the good
things Of this life.
But the married life o: this young
couple had romantic beginning. Some
time during the past summer they met
and have ever since manifested a warm
interest In each other. All went we'll I'M
Ill in January, when one night they
started to the opera house. the number
was FRA Diavolo," but failed to get
there. and instead about II p. m. show
ed up at the Phillips residence married
as tight as forgery, perjury. suborna-
ton Of the county clerk, a minister and
S. bill could make them. Everything
was lovely, no one knew anything about
it and they kept counting in the same
old wey. But there Is an end TO other
things than a race track. About two
weeks ago they walked home from the
city as usual by on their arrival receiv-
ed a warm reception as outraged and in
dignant papas and mammas are capable
OF giving. In some way knowledge of
the marriage had reached them-result:
Two lovers cast out upon a cold unfeel-
ing world. Neither Of them had a cent.
However. they took thinks philosophy
cally. Guy borrowed IS from a friend
and went to house keeping. They have
a little home all to themselves. He
makes enough for two. and everything
is lovely. The same sun lights and
heats the Phillips and Seaman. Jr.,
households; the same fresh gulf breezes
wef. the same perfumed zephyrs from
the same row Of oleanders to the two
homes. yet all is not harmonious be-
tween them. The elder Phillips threat
ems prosecution and the younger Sea-
man threatens all kinds of dire ven
geance If the proper respect is not ac-
corded 20 his wife. Thesequel is not
known to the Eagle at this time.

mid Pile Cure from our druggist. Con-
trary to any expectations. the relief was
instantaneous. 1 used two boxes Of the
Pile Cure and one Of the Pills, and am
convinced that they are the OILY sure
cure for piles on the market. 1 have

years. and have been confined TO my bed
about one-half Of the time, expecting
and wishing for death, for the pam was
so great. 1 went to the college here and
the doctors said my case was Few one

on a large rupture, which they wanted
seven hundred dollars to cut out. was
very much afraid that death would re-
suit from the blood poisoning which they
said would result from the operation.
feel as though can't praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills too
highly, as 1 am convinced that they cav
ed my life. Before using your cure
weighed only ninety pounds and now 1
weigh one hundred and fifty and feel as
vel as ever did IN my life. You are at
liberty to use this testimonial in any
manner you may see fit. as want all
sufferers from this terrible disease to
know that there has al last been COM
pounded remedy 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, acting without gripping and
restoring natura. action to the bowels.
The Pyramid Pile Cure IS sold by drug
gists at so cents and s10o, and the Pyra-
mid Pills az % cents, or by mail from

dioceses Of Leavenworth and Wichita,
