Wreck the Inside of the Jail and Cause
Much Trouble.
Smithport, Pa, December S.-Four-
teen prisoners in the Mexican county
Jail attempted to break Jail yesterday
afternoon while Sheriff Davis and his
deputy were away in another party of
the county. Two hallmen, who were
out in the corridor, secured an iron bar,
pried off the steel blinds on cell door,
releasing another man. Then the three
broke every cell lock until fourteen
men were gathered in the corridors.
They tried to break openrth the Jail door
leading to the street, but failed. The
sheriff's wife, hearing the noise, went
for assistance, and citizens managed to
hold the men in check until the arrival
of the sheriff and posse.
; At IL o'clock last night the rebellious
prisoners were driven into cells and
guards placed over them. All is quiet
to-day The interior Of the Jail is a
wreck.

INTEREST KEEPS UP
In the Kaiser Olemmer-De Kalb MUIR
der Trial Which Opens To-Day.

Norristown, Pa, December 3.-There
| is no cessation of interest in the Kaiser
! DeKalb- Clemmer murder case and the
possible developments OF the hearing
of James A. Clemmer tomorrow after
noon was the chief topic to-day. Glenn
mer has not yet engaged counsel, and
should he manifest desire to delay
matters by this neglect, District Attof-
ney Strassburger will not allow it. The
latest of the trio of prisoners now in
the county jail has only been there
about twenty-four hours, and it is said
he is beginning to display sullenness.
He refused to see any one to-day except
Lawyer Brownback, one of Kaiser's
counsel. The two were in conference
for half an hour, but Mr.. Brownback
declined to say what took place or
whether he would act as Clemmer's
counsel
Clemmer, the DeKalb woman and
Kaiser are in cells close to each other
in the old prison. Only twenty feet
separate the first two and distance OF
forty feet is between Clemmer and the
convicted man. Apart from his sullen-
ness Clemmer does not appear to be
very much perturbed over his position.
He ate heartily to-day and long before
supper time complained of being hun
cry. Whether his ordeal of tomorrow
will shake his nerve remains to be seen.
1t was announced tonight that Lizzie
DeKalb will appear before Justice
Lenhart at to-morrow's hearing and
give testimony against her alleged
lover AS to the nature of this testi-
mony the closest secrecy prevails.
Subpoenas were issued tonight by the
District Attorney for at least half
dozen other witnesses.
Counsel for Kaiser visited him to-
day and the condemned man was found
busily writing. He said as his counsel
entered: Il am composing prayer"
He then spoke about his case and was
told that the appeal from the sentence
Of death would be argued the first Mon
day in January. The date for Lizzie
DeKalb's hearing has been fixed for
December 81.

Surgical Operations for the Cure Of Piies
and Rectal Diseases No Longer
NeCessarys
AMedical Discovery Which VIII Change
the Treatment of All such Diseases.

A Medical Discovery Which Will Change
the Treatment of All such Diseases.
It has long been thought, not only
by some physicians, but by people in
general, that the common, painful and
exceedingly annoying trouble, piles,
was practically incurable by any other
means than surgical operation, and
this belief has been the cause of years
of needless suffering, because Of the
natural dread of surgical operations. .
There are many salves, ointments and
similar remedies on the market which
afford some relief in cases of piles, but
the Pyramid Pile Cure is the only prep
aration so far introduced that can be
reliably depended upon to cure to stay
cured, every form of itching, bleeding
or protruding piles.
Mrs. M. C. Huxley, of sol Mississippi
St., Indianapolis, was told by her ply
sicians that nothing but q surgical OPP
Grafton costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars, could cure her, as she
had suffered for Is years; yet even in
such case as hers the Pyramid Pile
Cure accomplished a completee cure.
She says: II knew an operation would
be death to me. and tried the Pyramid
with very little hope, and it is not to
be wondered at that I am so enthusiast
tic in its praise"
Mr.. d. E. Reed, Of South Lyons,
Mich, says l would not take $500 and
be placed back again where l was be-
fore l used the Pyramid Pile Cure. /
suffered for years and it is now eighteen
months since l used it and not the
slightest trace of the trouble has re-
turned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at so cents and 81
per package, and as it contains no
opium, cocaine Or other poisonous drug,
can be used with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form who will give this excellent rem
edy trial. Send for book on cause

From Cubh.


MADRID, Oct. 1O,-rhe cabinet yes
terday had a four-hours' session, dur
Ing which the decision previously ar
rived at regarding the recall from Cuba
of Capt. weyler was confirmed.
Ell Heraldo makes the announcement
that the captain general of Porto Rico
will be appointed acting governor OF
Cuba, pending the arrival OF Marshal
Blanco.
In reply to an inquiry by Premier
Sagasta, Captain General Weyier has
cabled the following statement to the
government:
1.-THE principles which constitute my
character. as well as my weil-known
military history, are strong guarantees
that / have never created nor will
ever create any difficulties for the con-
stituted government, be that whatever
1t may.
IL have always been, and In every
case shall ever be, the first man to ac-
cept. respect, obey and enforce the
governments orders. would not al
low any demonstration to go beyond
the expression OF personal affection and
the approval Of my policy"
In replying to n number of Cuban
senators who had offered their support
to the government, Premier Sagasta
said that the government would devote
itself before all else to the qualification
of Cuba. and would then introduce in
the island a model administration. The
government, the premier added, con-
sldered that the paclhcation of Cuba
would facilitate the restoration of peace
in the Philippine islands, where the
situation now is serious.
