ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
One Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth slight moist
ure and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
give temporary relief, but nothing like a
permanent cure can be expected 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 protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued use
for a short time causes a permanent re-
moval of the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and dis
comfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it
was supposed to contain cocaine, opium
or similar drugs, but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed il to be absolutely free from any
poisonous injurious drugs whatever. Sold
by druggists at 80 cents per package.

ROBBER GANG BROKEN UP.
The Recent Fire in Orlando Leads to
Some Startling Discoveries.


Some Startling Discoveries.
Orlando, Fla, Sept. 29-The indications
are that the officers have reached a solu-
ton of the burning of Rev. DR. Kedney's
house. On Sunday evening, an hour or
two before the fire, the officers arrested
Thomas Edenf1eld at a house where he
had been living for a couple of weeks,
with his sister and Jim Robinson, against
whom information had been filed for adul
terry. The house was some two miles
from the Kedney residence and in an iso-
lated part of the country. Edentield had
been suspected Of connection with the re-
cent house breaking which have occurred
in this section. In the house was found a
large supply of choice bedding, tapestries,
etc. Some of the sheets were of fine linen
and were marked Sara A. Ingram. There
was a wagon load of this plumber. 1t
was brought to town and taken in charge
by the sheriff, and yesterday friends of
Dr. Kidneys family recognized many of
the articles as belonging to his house.
These friends say that Mrs. Kidneys
maiden name was Ingram.
Robinson was seen by the officers when
they went for Edenfield but, as they had
no warrant for him, they paid no atten-
ton to him. AS they were returning to
Orlando with the prisoner they saw the
lieved that when Edenfield was taken by
the officers Robinson went across the
country and set fire to the house to hide
the fact that they had robbed it. Sheriff
Anderson captured Robinson yesterday,
and both men are now in jail
For some time prior to this development
a negro named Jackson has been Offering
articles for sale about Longwood, Palm
Springs and Altamonte These articles
were small household effects, choice china
pieces and bric-a-brac. Some of the resi-
dents purchased from him at a nominal
price His story was that a lady with
whom he lived had decided to move away
and had sent him out to dispose of these
effects. The officers got after him few
days ago, and he skipped, and has not yet
been found. The story of having lived
with a lady and selling the goods
for her is all myth. Eden
field now claims that he bought tho
stock of bedding from the negro Jackson
His sister says that Tom brought them to
the house with team. 1t would look as
if there might have been a partnership
between the two white men and the dar-
key, and the reasonable conclusion is that
the white men did the robbing and then
put the smaller and more portable effects
into the hands of the negro to dispose Of
A number of robberies have occurred in
a section about here of ten or twelve miles
in extent, during the past few months. 1t
is believed that the prominent members
of the gang are now locked up. But
other arrests are liable to follow.

WAS 1T HOG OR HUMAN.
Luetgert Jury VIII Have to Decide
Where These Doctors Disagree.


Chicago, Sept. 29-"Hog or human
That is the issue in the Luetgert case at
present, and, according to the view of the
case adopted by the jury is the fate Of
the defendant likely to be. If hog he
Will, in all probability. go free; if human.
there is no telling what will happen to
him. or, rather, what may not happen to
him.
The defense proved to-day that the bone
which DR.. Dorsey the osteologist of the
Columbian museum, declared was the fe-
muir OF human being, of a woman. and
OF woman of delicate physical structure
as was Mrs. Luetgert, is nothing but the
Done OF a hog. 1t came from a hog of
dencate organization, so said the expert
Ior the defense, but he was nothing but
hog for all that. The femur was rather
small for the usual run of hogs but this
was small boned hog and there is no
doubt OF the origin of the bone.
The witness who declared all this for
the defense was DR.. w H. Airport pro-
1essor'of descriptive and comparative ana
tony in the Northwestern University He
declared in the most positive manner that
the femur was that of a hog and that
there was no chance of his being mistaken
in the matter. DIR. Dorsey, who proved
woman, was in the court room when DR..
Airport was on the stand and his face
flushed when the expert for the defense
declared that the bone came from a hog.
He will take the stand when the time
comes for the state to offer its evidence in
rebuttal and prove to the jury that the
femur is not that of a hog but of a hu-
man being, of a woman, and woman of
delicate physical organization.
Inc declaration of DIR, Abort clearly de-
fines an issue between himself and Prof
Dorsey. They are the respective leading
experts of the defense and the prosecu-
ton. Both pride themselves upon their
regulations, and battle royal will be the
result. DR.. Airport drew pictures of what
he said represented human femur and
hogs femur, and explained TO the jury the
differences between them. The difference
was principally in the socket of the hip
joint, according to the witness.
Tomorrow DR.. ABORT will be cross-ex-
amined after he has testified further con-
corning metacarDal, sesamoid and tenn
poral bones.
Previous to DR.. Alport's testimony,
Prof j. A. Weisner gave evidence in sup
port of DR.. Reise's testimony in connec-
ton with the experiments with human
bodies made in the watts in the Luetgert
factory early in the present month. His
testimony was of a corroborative charac-
ter
States Attorney Deneen smilingly de-
clared tonight that Prof Dorsey would
settle the question as to the Identity of
the bones beyond a question when next he
appeared upon the witness stand.
Luetgert and his lawyers were well sat
isfied with the showing made and eX-Judge
Vincent said he could not see the necessity
of Luetgert going on the witness stand.
There is nothing for him to deny" re-
marked eX-Judge Vincent.

affair is now accepted as truth by persons
in Berlin and elsewhere, whose sources of
information are of the best. One of the
kaisers pecularties is a certain contempt
for women which he often makes no at
tempt to conceal and even seems rather
proud of his disparagement of women az
an inferior race This has been the cause
of more than one unpleasant incident. The
emperor was in an unusually supercilious
mood the day of this incident He was
talking TO group of officers on the deck
of the yacht among them Hahnke, who
was a son of Gen. Won Hahnke, one of
the most prominent officers in the German
army.
The emperor, without the slightest re-
gard for the young mans feelings posi-
bly, forgetting his presence, made brutal
remark about his mother, the wife of the
general. The young man was terribly in
censed and without moments hesitation
confronted his sovereign and knocked him
down with a terrific blow with his fist in
the eye. There was CONSERVATION for a
time, but details Of what happened have
not transpired except that no attempt
was made to punish the young officer. 1t
was speedily realized that 1t would be inn
possible to deal with him by ordinary legal
or military methods without the result
that Europe would ring withsthe scandal.
in which every ones sympathies would be
entirely with the chivalrous lieutenant
Nevertheless, his prospects, of course,
were ruined. and he soon learned that his
father and family would also be involved
in the imperial vengeance 1t is not sur
prising under the circumstances that he
decided to take his life, as he undoubted-
ly did do.
This sensational story would, of course,
be denied If attempts were made to SUBJ
stantiate 1t in the highest quarters 1t is
accepted, however, with full credence by
those who have means of knowing the
facts, and considering the many minor
points of confirmation which are current.
there is strong probability it is SUBJ
stanually true.

ACRES OF LUMBER BURNED.

Cincinnati, Sept. ga special to the
Commercial-Tribune from Ironton, o..
says: AT o'clock the saw mill of New
man & Spanner was discovered on fire.
Before the fire department reached the
scene the flames had extended to the lum-
Der yards. The fire soon wiped out the
mills and lumber yards of the Penn Lum-
Der Company Word was sent to Catletts-
burg, Ashland and Portsmouth for relief
At 10 o'clock the supply houses and
coal bins adjoining the city water build
Ing were demolished by a Norfolk and
Western locomotive crew using a block
and tackle, and the pumping station was
saved.
The Ashland, Ky, department. arrived
with several thousand feet of hose and at
1920 o'clock the ten acres of blazing ruins
are surrounded by lines of hose. The
Catlettsburg, KY, fine engine has just
arrived by special boat. This practi-
cally places the fire under control, al
though the confiagration will hardly sub
side before morning. The large plant of
Newman & Spanner, valued at $4,000 is
insured for $4,000, but they carried no in
surance on 100000 feet of poplar lumber
every plank of which went up in smoke.
The Penn Lumber Company's plant was
valued at S35, Coo They carried $3.50 in
surance on the property, and $500 on g.
100000 feet of lumber which was totally
destroyed. In addition to these plants, the
residences of Henry Spanner, E Cole,
Mrs. g. Kurtz, Mrs. Hall, Henry Horn, S.
MacKay and Newman and Spanner's large
Office and warehouse were burned. At
least twenty more residences were dam
aged. With the exception of Newman and
Spanner's warehouse and S. MacKays
property all were insured. The loss is esti-
mated al from 100000 to 100000 with hardly
half that amount of insurance

SILK IN COTTON MILLS.
New England Manufacturers May
Change Their Product.

From the Dry Goods Economist.
VIII New England become as great a
manufacturer of silk fabrics as she has
been of cotton goods, is a question that
does not seem far-fetched to a few people
who are on the inside or are possessed
of an mixing as to experiments now being
made by some prominent eastern mills.
or late years a certain amount Of silk
has been woven. in connection with cot
ton warps, by one or two manufacturers
of very fine cotton fabrics such as the
Arnold print works, the Aberfoyle Manu-
featuring Company, the Renfrew Manu-
featuring Company, etc. But the present
movement goes much further than this.
and looks to nothing less than the pro-
duction of all silk fabrics of various
weights and descriptions.
That many of the eastern mills need a
new direction in which to operate has
been admitted for a considerable time.
Southern competition has cut profits to a
minimum-in some cases caused a deficit
and it is evident that a radical change
Will have to be made in the near future.
From all we can learn, it seems evident
that serious effort is being made in
various quarters in New England to turn
a considerable part of the machinery now
employed on cotton into silk. This Is par
ticularly the case with mills manufactur-
ing fine ginghams, which, from the char
acter of their plant and product, are best
adapted to make the change.
