could not live Mr.. Freeman reached
his fathers bedside, after a ride of LOO
miles. but the sick man was uncon-
scious and expired without recovering
consciousness The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon of this week. MIR.
Freeman moved to Bellevue Heights
from Carbondale in 1858, about the time
the Bellevue breaker commenced ship
ment of coal. The place was then but
q bunch of a few small houses. Thir-
teen years ago he moved to Iowa. TO
his many friends Mr.. Freeman was
known as a man of sterling worth, of
a generous nature, and the oldest resi-
dents of Bellevue, who remember him,
praise his good character. He is sur

A call is made to the people of the
West Side to patronize the sub postal
station which was established on this
side on Jan. 2. The station is at Deck
er's drug store on North Main avenue,
four doors above Jackson street, on the
westerly side of the avenue. Miss
Gertrude Decker is the obligng clerk
1t means a great deal to the success of
the sub-statiOn and to future extern
sion of yet limited service given, that
West Side people generally should buy
their stamps, stamped envelopes, pos
tai cards and wrappers at the station
The business thus far has been any
thing but encouraging. The North End
station, established at the same time
as the West Side station, has done
a greater business, and the North End
cannot boast of as great a population,
either. Miss Decker is paid by the gov
ernment, and your patronage will not
increase her salary, but it will go a
great way toward having a still better
service on this side.

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is Itch
ing piles, indicated by warmth, slight
moisture and intense, uncomfortable
itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but
for every other form of piles, blind
bleeding or Drotruding. The first APP
plicaton gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
a permanent removal of the tumorS or
the small parasites which cause the
intense itching and discomfort of itch
ing piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because 1t was supposed to contain
cocaine, opium or Similer drugs, but
such is not the case. A recent careful
analysis of the remedy showed 1t to
be absolutely free from any cocaine,
opium, or in fact any poisonous in
furious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
cure is probably the only pile cure eX-
tensively recommended by physicians,
because it is so safe, so prompt in the
relief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at 50
cents. and 81 per package

COO. His company will prepare for it

There is gold in plenty in the north
west country and Alaska" said he,
''and the miners have yet made but a
scratch on the surface. Every creek
that empties into the Yukon has gold
and probably in most of them it is IN
paying quantities. There is but little
foundation for the stories of starva-
ton in Dawson this winter, for there
are tons of provisions there and down
at Port Yukon some six or seven hun
dred tons more are stored, the steam
boats being unable to get up the river
with it. The Yukon was lower the
past summer than it has been for
years, and the season of navigation
was very short"
According to Mr. Hamilton, people
are very apt to overestimate the
amount of gold that man can clean
up in a days labor; they read that II
goes SO much to the pan, but they do
not realize the amount of labor neces-
sary to wash out pan Of dirt. In
speaking Of the newspaper accounts
Of stores closing up in Dawson by rea-
son of having no more provisions to
sell, he said that those same stores
would continue to supply miners, but
they closed to avoid selling out in
lump to spectators. There are num-
Der of them there who would like to
corner the provision market, even by
paying a high price at retail them
selves, so that they then could jump
up the prices on the miners. The prices
quoted the past summer have not been
much higher than the usual prices in
that country for years past; for exam
pie he said that some writer had said
eggs were selling at a dollar each,
when they might have been quoted
equally as well at one hundred dollars
each-because there We're no eggs there

PRODUCED A POISON
PUTRID MEAT OF SOME KIND
EATEN BY DUPRE AND CAPIS-
TRANT
WAS THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
DIR. PERKINS INEQUALITIES SOME
WHITE RATS WITH A CUL-
TURE.
FOst-MOrtem on Cnpistrants Body
Shows the Same Conditions of
the Organs as Dupre.

Ptomaine poisoning is now firmly be-
lieved to have caused the death of
Remie Dupre and John Capistrant,
and the sausage which the young men
ate is said to hame been responsible for
the poisoning. This is the statement
given out by DR.. Perkins, of the health
department, who has made a partial
analysis of the sausage. His inVesti-
cations are not yet complete, however,
and the official report of the inquiry
will not be ready before Saturday
This form of poisoning is peculiar and
comparatively rare. 1t results from
the chemical action produced by putrld
meat upon the system. With the re-
ception of the decayed animal matter
into the stomach a process of fer
mentation takes place. which produces
a most virulent poison. This crculat-
ing through the veins Is said to bring
about the conditions found in the post
mCrtem examinations of the dead men.
Death is Immediately due, it is said,
in poisoning Of this kind, to paralysis
of organs of the body. In the case of
both Dupre and Capistrant the lungs
were thus affected, producing the ap-
parent suffering in breathing which
was at first thought to have been due
to some abnormal condition of the
throat.
A second autopsy was held yester-
day upon the remains of Capistrant.
The results were almost identical with
the disclosures of the post norton eX-
animation conducted on the body of
his cousin the previous day. The
kidneys were found to be badly con-
gested, as were also the lungs, while
the intestines were distended by gases.
The examination was conducted by
DR.. Rothrock, a recognized exnert in
pathology, assisted by Coroner Nelson,
Deputy Coroners L. A. Nelson, H. p.
Bitchie and Hesselgrave, Drs. Perkins,
Finnell and many other physicians in
terested in the unusual cases The
autopsy was exhaustive and thorough,
every organ being subjected to the
closest examination but only the con-
ditions said to indicate meat poison
ing were found. AS was the case in
the Dupre post norton, Capistrants
throat was perfectly normal. Abso-
lutely no cause of death could be dis
covered except the conditions evidenc-
ing the presence of putrid meat in the
stomach. Capistrant's relatives were
opposed to the autopsy, but the i'm
portance of ascertaining the exact
cause of death induced Coroner Nelson
to disregard their wishes in the mat
ter.
Now that the autopsies are over and
ed, the remainder of the investigation
will be conducted along the lines Of
chemical analysis of the sausage said
to have been eaten by the young men
and microscODical examination of
portion of the stomach. DR.. Perkins is
