DUBUQUE, Ia, Jan. 30.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Very Rev. Thomas NJ. Linehan of
Fort Dodge, dean of the archdiocese of Du-
buque has been appointed bishop of Chey-
enne, Wyo., to succeed Bishop Burke, re-
signed. He was the guest at dinner today
of Archbishop Hennessey, who presented
him with the papal bulls announcing his
elevation. He was the first priest ordained
by Bishop Hennessey and will be the hrst
bishop consecrated by him. Upon the arch
bishops suggestion he was elected to be
consecrated at the Dubuque cathedral at a
date just before Lent, to be determined more
definitely later.
Father Linehan was reared in Dubuque and
was educated at st. Thomas seminary.
Bardstown, Ky, at Cape Girardeau, No. and
at st. Francis seminary, Milwaukee. and
was ordained here in 1867. His first mission
was at Decorah but since 1870 he has been
pastor of Corpus Christi church, Fort Dodge.
This church, when he assumed the pas
torate, was the only one between Sioux City
and Ackley, and between Des Moines and
the Minnesota line. His administrative ca
pacity early attracted Archbishop Hennes-
sey's attention and it is understood he was
the archbshops choice for the see of Chey-
enne. In fact, 1t is believed the archbishop
regards him as the future metropolitan of

Gently learned concerning Mr.. Odell's wan
derings after he left Council Bluffs nearly
two months ago. 1t was his intention to
make only short business trip to a near

train he conceived the idea of making
flying business trip to Old Mexico in the
hope of finding an opportunity to
make some money. He had just
about enough money with him TO make the
ronni rip II he me no de'GyI. II was tax n
dangerously i'll after crossing the line, and
for six weeks was in a strange land being
talked to In unknown tongues and too i'll
to write to his friends in Council Bluffs. As
soon as he was able to sit uD he insisted
upon being put aboard a northern bound
train and started for home. This was done
but on the way he had a dangerous re-
lapse and for several days was unconscious
When he recovered sufficiently he again

his wife and her sister, Mrs. Washburn

WANTS AN EXAMINER IN THE BANK.
state Auditor Mccarthy Asks the
Cnurl for Aul LnrilN.

Court Tor authority.
DES MONIES, Jan. 30.-(Specal Tele-
gram.)-State Auditor Mccarthy filed today
in court petition for authority to place a
bank examiner in the German Savings bank
and learn its true condition In his appli-
cation he made some serious charges. He
states that short time before the failure
he ordered the stockholders to increase the
capital from $4,000 to SIS, 900, because they
were carrying deposits to the amount of
over ten times their capital, which the state
law does not allow. This the bank failed to
do, and he wants to know why. He also
states that the receiver has refused to allow
him to examine the institution. He repre-
sents that there. were suspicious circum-
stances connected with the failure. One of
these pointed out is that the banks time de-
posits decreased over 100000 in a few days,
while demand deposits were practically
unchanged. He charges that there
is reason to believe money was
borrowed by the bank and carried
as time deposits instead of rediscounts, so
that the report of January made the bank
appear to be in excellent condition, whereas
it was really in very bad shape. The court
has not yet ruled on the petition. The move
ment to reorganize is meeting with poor
success, the depositors not believing the plan
is safe one. They will probably hold a
meeting in the near future and take steps
to learn more definitely the condition of the
bank.

/ Gentlemen-While suffering intensely from
piles, / became interested in your adver-
tisement in one of our daily papers and pro-
cured a package of your Pyramid Pile Cure

tatons, the relief was instantaneous. / used

years and have been confined to my bed

wishing for death, for the pain was so great.
| went to the college here and the doctors
said my case was a new one to them, the
great pain having brought on a large rup-
ture which they wanted seven hundred dol
lars to cut out. i was very much afraid
that death would result from the blood
poisoning which they said would result from
the operation. feel as though can't praise
the Pyramid Pile Cure and the Pyramid
Pills too highly, as | am convinced that they

There is no need of the danger, pain and
expense of surgical operation from any
form of piles. The Pyramid Pile Cure does
the work without pain and is the safest
and best. Remember also that the Pyramid
pills are a certain cure for constipation
acting without gripping and restoring natural
action to the bowels.

JURY DECIDES FOR THE SHERIFF.
Sealed Verdict In james MiIIer's DAM
age Suit is Opened and Read.

Sealed Verdict In Jnmes MiIler's DAM
age Suit In Opened and Read.
Yesterday was dull day around the county
court house. No cases came before Judge
Thornell for hearing and only a few mo-
tions were argued in a psrfunctory sort Of
way by the attorneys. The only thing that
transpired during the day that created a
ripple of interest was the opening and read
ing OF the sealed verdict returned by the
jury on the previous evening in the damage
suit OF Miller against Sheriff Morgan. The
verdict was opened and read Immediately
after court convened in the morn
ing. Tho verdict was in favor OF
the defendant, as was generally an
ticipated by the attorneys and court
lcungers. The jury had the case under CON
sideration only one hour. The judges in
stluCtions were quite lengthy and it required
forty minutes for the jurymen to read them.
The remaining twenty minutes was spent in
discussing some points of evidence ard pre-
pairing the verdict The James case having
been dismissed by the ruling OF the court to
sustain the motion to dismiss all Ct the dam
age cases against the sheriff have been dis
posed of except that Of Kelley. Kelley's case
is regarded by the sheriff and his attorneys
as the weakest of all Owing to the absence
Of Finley Burke who Is in Tennessee, II will
not be tried before the latter part of the
term.
few docket entries were made by Judge
Thornel during the day, In the case OF
Anna Praor against the August Ulhllin
Brewing company, motion to strike out
and for more specific statement was sub
mitted. The case is one CT the oli-fashionad
liquor suits, where a saloon keeper seeks to
evade payment for beer under the proyl-
slons of the prohibtory law,
In the case of Jacob Wieland against Peter
d. Ehlers the motion for more specific state
ment and answer was sustained.
n. II. Hart was granted an execution
against the estate OF the late Martha Git
tings and the only heir, James c. Burnow.
Hart had a Judgment against Martha Git
tings and her husband in the superior court
last July for Sl,735.4O. Mrs. Cuttings has
died since the judgment was obtained and
