FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and Inconvenience of
that common disorder. plies. will look with
skepticism upon the claims of the makers
of the new discovery for cure of all forms
Of piles, known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such
as to warrant the investigation of any suf-
ferer: AS case in point the following let
ter speaks for itself:
Mr. Henry Thomas of substation No. 3.
Hosack avenue. Columbus, o., writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Company:
Gentlemen-I want you to use my name
If 1t will be Of any use to you. I was so
bad with the piles that lost work on that
account. Nothing did me any good. I
read in Cincinnati of the many cures of
piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and l 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 told him
that 1 wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
tried another and then TO complete the cure
used two more boxes, making four In ALL
| am now completely cured. Have not
trace of piles and had suffered for four
years with the worst form of protruding
piles.
1 suffered death from piles, but I have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. / have recommended it to
several of my friends and / 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 opium, CO.
caine or mineral poison of any kind. and
because it is so safe and pleasant to use,
being painless and applied at night. The
pauent is cured in surprisingly short time
with no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gfsts at so cents per package, and If there
is any constipation 1t is we'll 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 effectuaily re-
move the costive condition. Price of pills
is 20 cents per package

THE BRIDE VERY TIRED.
Mrs. smOck Sues Her bridegroom for
Divorce.


Divorce.
Anna Leavitt, the young girl who last
week entered into hasty marriage with
Thomas Wade Smock, and who returned to
her parents a few days later, yesterday, by
her next friend, Oliver c. Leevitt, brought
suit in the county courts to set the mar
rage aside Monday evening Smock
brought habeas corpus proceedings for
possession of his wife, and the writ was
served on her parents at her home, seven
miles northeast of the city. But it was
found that the girl had been sent away to
Cambridge City with an uncle, and the
sheriff returned to the city without the
bride.
Mrs. Smock, in her complaint, admits she
became the wife of the defendant Nov. IL,
1897. She declares she was forced into mar
riage by threats on the part of Smock to
take her life or do her some great bodily
injury She also AYERS Smock threatened
to harm her parents or some OF her rela-
tives. The girl further charges that she
after the marriage she requested that she
be taken home, but instead was dragged
about from place to place by her husband.
Nov. IA, she says, she managed to escape
and went to her parents. The pIainttH says
that during the time she lived with Smock
he abused her by constantly quarreling
with her, and kept her in constant fear.
Richard NJ. Barwise yesterday brought
whom he was married in 1893. He charges
the woman with cruel treatment, and says
that in April, 1897, he was compelled to take
q revolver from her to prevent her from
shooting him. Some time ago, he says, she
went to Chicago and lived under an as
surnad name.

The Erie. Operating Expenses.

E. B. Thomas, who for some years past
has been operating the Erie lines with
marked ability, has been criticised and
asked to give the reason for an increase in
operating expenses of s956,0OO, as shown by
the last quarterly report. The reasons he
assigns apply so well to other railway sys-
TENS that they become matter of interest
Mr. Thomas says 1t is due to large expendi-
lures in connection with automatic couplers,
air brakes and renewal of equipment. The
fast freight service forced upon US by COM
petltorS lightenS the trainioads ard IN
creases the number of trains.
ITO do the trunk line business at the rates
now obtained requires the very highest Or
der of track, equipment and signals. That
costs money. hates in this country are low
er than in any other country III the world.
1t is impossible 20 tell where unrestrained
competition will finally bring them
THE volume OF business is large AS a
whole the railroads of this country are more
inteliigently and more honestly managed
than ever before in their history. The road
beds, the equipment and appliances are in
better condition than ever before.
THE one thing which seems to be lacking
and which the managers seem unable to
control is the constantly decreasing ton-per-
volume of business which ought TO yield a
fair return on the investment on almost all
of them, and it is hoped that the legiSla-
lures will be awake to this condition of
affairs and afford the relief which no more
than simple justice demands that the roads
should receive. We have been the prey of
every Legislature for years"

STORY T0WNSLEY TOLD.
Police Find 1t to Be a Fairy Tale,
They Claim.

o. II. Townships story of having been
robbed in West Indianapolis Monday night
was proved last night to be fairy tale.
Townsley told several different stories about
the affair himself His first story was that
he met man at Pennsylvania and Wash
ington streets, drove out to Fountain square
with him in a buggy and then to West In
dianapoIs, where he was robbed. Later he
said he drove out Massachusetts avenue
first and then to West Indianapolis. Yester-
day evening he went to Henry's livery sta
BILE, on West Pearl street, and found Hugh
McCaffery, the man who was with him, and
McCaifery went to the police station and
told his side of the story. He said he met
Townsley at a West Washington-street sa-
loon and went with him for a drive out to
Mount jackson. He says that Townsey
tried to push him out of the buggy, when he
attempted to turn around and drive back.
He concluded that Townsley was trying to
steal the horse and buggy and he pushed
Townsley out and drove back. Townsley
denied having been at Mount jackson. Pa
trolmen running in that district remember
seeing them there. McCaffery was not ar
vested ta-f
