RUNAWAY TEAMS WORK
Mrs. T. III Kusic Is Badly Hurt by
Them.

A runaway team of bronchos belong
ing to L. D. Hughes, a cane chair man
ufacturer at College avenue and Wa
basha street, played havoc on Dayton
avenue yesterday afternoon Wrecking
q wagon belonging to H. Fine, a ped
dler living at 229 Indiana avenue, and
painfully injuring Mrs. T. H. Kusic, of
715 Carroll street. who was run down
upon the sidewalk by the frightened
animals. The accident to Mrs. Kusic
occurred near the residence of DR.. Alb
bolt, and she was carried to his Office,
where an examination showed she had
fortunately escaped serious injury,
though she was badly bruised about
the body and face. Mrs. Kusic was
then taken home.
The runaway ponies were frightened
by the breaking Of a whiffietree, and,
when the driver left his place to re
pair the damage, started off at full
speed. The peddler's wagon was struck
after Mrs. Kusic had been knocked
down, and both vehicles were complete
ly demolished. The runaWays were
stopped at Summit park.

THAWING OUT GAS PIPES.
Cause of a Blaze in Mccarthy &
DOnneIIy's.

The undertaking establishment of Nc
Carthy & Donnelly,.: .a70 Wabasha
street, was visited by another fire yes
terday noon, and, while the flames in
themselves did practically no damage,
the stock of the firm was damaged to
the extent of about $500 by smoke. The
loss is covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire was somewhat
peculiar. Aliens bakery is next door,
and the pipes connected with the gas
stoves in the bakery run through the
basement of the undertaking room.
The pipes were frozen yesterday and a
man was sent from the bakery to the
cellar Of Mccarthy & Donnelly's to
adjust the difficulty. He carried Il
burning torch, and, when he pulled the
plug out Of the gas pipe to pour in
some alcohol, the gas at once ignited.

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE


DR.. Redmond, "a specialist in the
study and treatmentTof Piles and rectal
diseases, recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery
for the cure of piles; was the most re.
markable remedy he had ever seen or
tried in one respect; land that was. the
instant relief experienced in all cases
no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied: this
was the more surprising to him. be-
cause he had carefully analyzed the
preparation and no trace of opium,
cocaine or similarCpoison could be de-
tected
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because
1t Is rapidly taking the place of sur
glcal operations and because it is so
simple, so easily applied and contains
no mineral or other poisons SO com.
monty used in pile cures.
DR.. EsterbrOOk reports that the Pvra
mid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms Of piles, but never fails
to give immediate relief on the first
application, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be-
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important adj
vantage is the fact that anyone can
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation.
Mr.. ]. w. Rollins, of Sweet Springs.
Mo-, writes: I consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal; it cured
me in less than thirty days. 1 waited
fifteen days or more to be sure 1 was
fully cured before writing you; I am
cured and 1 shall recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure at every possible oppor-
tunity, because it deserves 1t.
Although comparatively new REM
edy, it's popularity is such, that all
druggists now sell it; If your druggist
hasn't it in stock, he will get it for
you if you ask him, as all wholesale
druggists have it on sale.

vainly beating the spouting fire, threw
the broom into a pile of shavings.
These caught fire, and only the quick
response Of the fire department to

damage. The smoke ruined several

BOARD OF LADY MANAGERS
HOLDS IT'S ANNUAL MEETING,
HEARS REPORTS AND ELECTS
IT'S OFFICERS.
MRS. 0PPMNHEEM IS PRESIDENT.
InstitUtion Begins the Year With
Growing Demands and IL De-
pleted Treasury,

The annual meeting Of the board of
lady managers of the free dispensary
was held yesterday. The secretary
report was read by Mrs. M. L. Saun-
ders. This report says: During the
past year a great advancement has
been made in one respect; we have Oh
tanned possession of the property, and a
reorganization of the institution has
been effected. This occurred on March
2. To those who have SO kindly and
generously aided us to this end we
wish to extend our hearty and sincere
thanks, and also to those kind friends
who have assisted in the Improvement
of the building, to all of whom we feel
too much praise and gratitude cannot
be given, for it enables US to more
easily help, in these hard times, the
sick and deserving poor, and the num-
Der needing cur aid is constantly in
creaSing
Our new organization consists now
Of three boards, the board of trustees,
board Of lady managers and medical
board. These trying times have
brought to the dispensary many ap-
plicants, more or less worthy. A faith
full investigation of these has been
made by visitors, in connection with
the secretary of the board of associa,
ted charities. We feel certain, that
very rarely, those who are unworthy
receive benefits
The attendance for the year has been
1908, which is larger than last year
by 2,381. The number of prescriptions
given was 5,957, of these 474O were
paid.
''The absence from the city of some
of our most faithful workers on the
board, and the illness of Others has
been a great detriment to our work and
in a large measure accounts for the ser
ious deficit in our treasury.
1.-The dispensary begins the year
with growing demands upon it and a
depleted treasury, but the members Of
this board intend to courageously put
their shoulders to the wheel, feeling
that It was never more necessary han
at present. We do ask the cordial CO.
operations Of our benevolent friends in
our efforts. believing that no more
deserving charity exists in our city to-
day"
