THE DREYFUS CASE.
The Kaiser Denied That France Had Been
Safy,

The Kaiser Denied That France Had Been
Betrayed
London, November 22.-The Paris
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
says:
The name of Emperor William is
now persistently connected with the
Dreyfus affair. 1t is currently re-
ported that at the time of the trial he
wrote to M. Casimir-Perier, giving his
word UI honor as a man that Dreyfus
had not betrayed France for the Ger
man government, adding that. if nee
essary he would give his word as an
emperor with all it's consequences.
President Casimir-Perier communi-
Gated this to the cabinet Soon after
DreyfI-o was condemned, Emperor Will
liam, much hurt, instructed the am
bassador at Paris to ask if the incrim-
mating documents had been procured
on German territory M Casimir-
Peirer made a guarded reply, but in
view of the fact that he had been kept
in ignorance by the cabinet of what
was going on and had to sanction the
sentence upon Dreyfus despite the
Kaiser's word of honor, he decided to
resign the presidency and seized the
first opportunity which occurred, name
ly, the overthrow of the Dupuy cab
met
THE Gaulois says it was in order to
avert grave complications, arising from
The Emperor Williams having given
his word of honor that the onn,rt mar
tial was held with closed doors, and
certain documents, in accordance with
the request of the Emperor, were not
produced at the trial"

TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE.
A Graphic Story Concerning the
Fate Of Young Lady.

Here is a graphic narrative from
real life showing how many of our
friends whom we love, may be on the
verge of great tragedy.
A young girl residing on Madison
avenue, New York, and who had been
in society for short time, was pre-
pairing to attend grand ball for
which great preparations had been
made. She was in her own room on
the second floor over the parlor, and
called down to her mother regarding
certain matters connected with her
new dress. The mother answered, but
received no response, nor did she re-
ceive a word of reply to her con-
tinued answers. The mother there
fore climbed the stairs, and found her
daughter lying dead upon the side of
the sofa.
AS is usual in all cases of sudden
death, heart disease was assigned as
the cause, but a careful examination
by competent physicians revealed the
terrible fact that the young lady met
her death from acute Bright's disease
of the, kidneys.
The above painful accident is re-
cited exactly as it occurred, the names
of the parties only being suppressed
owing to their prominence. The story
is related to impress the fact of how
many people there are, apparently in
good health and yet actually upon the
verge of the grave. Kidney diseases
are the most deceptive and the most

cry for effectually preventing 1t or
checking it after it has begun to fix its
fangs upon the system. That remedy is
Acknowledged by the medical profession
Of the world and is used in greater guam
titles in other countries than even in
the United States. 1t has become
household remedy and it richly de-
serves the reputation it has secured.
That remedy is Warmers Safe Cure.
There are thousands of men and wo-
men throughout the length and breadth
Of the land who eve their prolonged
lives and present health to its faithful
use. There are women who were once
pale sallow and sickly and suffering
from painful complaints peculiar to
their sex, who are to-day bright, rosey,
healthful and grateful to the
remedy that has produced tbs
remarkable change. There are
men who were once broken
down. liatless. nerveless and despond-
ent, and who are now in complete
health, are able to attend to their duties
without fatigue, who glorify the power
of Safe Cure. Among the physicians
throughout the world who speak in
the highest terms of this great remedy
are Dr. William Rcbeson, of England;
DR.. Boyer, of Germany, and Drs. R. A.
Gum and Dio Lewis, of America. In
speaking of this great remedy DR.. Robe
son, of England, said: II emphaticaly

more relief and effect more cures by
the use of Warmers Safe Cure than by
all the medicines in the British Phar-

The strike made by Mallory Bros on
Lloyd Whalley's farm, on Whisky run,
continues to be the chief topic of con-
yersation among oil men in this Sec
ticn, and promises to be the most i'm
portant development made in Richie
county for several months. The we'll
is thought to be good for fifteen bar
rels day, and gives the talent an idea
of the direction Of the long sought
pool. Several years ago, COL. Ira De-
witt, who was the pioneer in the
Whisky run country. said if any oil
was found it would be in the direction
of where the Whalley we'll is located,
but he afterwards disposed of his large
block of lease in that section and did
not verify his assertion.
The South Penn Oil Company is
watching Whisky run developments
closely, and as soon as the independ-
ent operator demonstrates the fact
that oil is found in paying quantities,
they will begin work on their hold
ings in the field.

is locating and drilling a number of
wells in the gas belt Of this county,

Miss Caroline II. Pier Married to John b.
Roemer.
We clip the following from the Mil
waukee News of the 18th inst. Mr..

cipal of the Linsly Institute from 1887
to 1890:
With her mother, as court commits
sioner, performing the ceremony,
and her two sisters as bridemaids,
Miss Caroline Hamilton Pier was this
afternoon married to John Henry
yer to lawyer and every member of
the bridal party had been admitted
to the bar. The bride herself grad
uated from the Wisconsin law school
in 1891, and has practiced with her
two sisters, who were her brides
maids, since that time.
The mother, who was the elder
member of the firm, has been prac-
titioner since 1889, while the father,
Col. Colwert K. Pier, who died in
April, 1895, was also a member of the
bar. Mr.. Roemer, who is associated
with Attorney Christian Doerfler, of
this city, was a graduate of the Yale
school with the class of 1892, and has
practiced here ever since. Mrs. Pier
assumed the Office of court commits
cir NJ, od l,o,. to
the marriage to-day, in 1891.
1t was a pretty wedding, although
quiet and informal. At just O'Clock
the wedding party entered the parlor
of the Pier home at No. SIT Van
Buren, street, to the strains of the
Mendelssohn wedding march, played
on the piano by Mr. Frank J. Roemer
of Bellaire, o., cousin of the groom.
Mrs. Pier, together with the Rev.
w. G. Eliot, Jr., the pastor of the
Unitarian church, entered from the
hallway, followed by the groom, ac-
companied by the best man, Mr.. l..
r. Whitley, an attorney of st. Louis,
Mo-, and Mr.. Henry M. Hamilton, of
Cedar Rapids, Ia, an uncle of the
bride, who gave her away, and Major
CORTLAND P. Larkin, who officiated as
best man at the marriage Of the pa
rents Of the bride, thirty-one years
ago.
They took their places at the east
end of the parlor, where the national
colcrs were draped, this being the only
decoration of the house. Then the
! n ids
entered from the dining room and with
the groom took her place before her
mother and the clergyman, where the
former pronounced the words which
made Miss Pier Mrs. Roemer.. The
ceremony was concluded with a prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Eliot.
Then there was a wedding dinner at
which intimate friends and relatives
were guests. Among those from
abroad were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry NJ
Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Dr.
ana Mrs. Howard Sackett, Miss Rice
and Miss Irene Skinner, of Fon du
Lac; Congressman and Mrs. j. w. Bah
cock. of Necedah, and Dean Howard N

Mrs. Ogden.
The bride was attired in white satin
| with pearls, while Miss Kate Pier wore
Nile green satin, and Miss Harriet Pier
cream colored satin. Mrs. Pier wore
black satin.
After a short wedding trip Mr.. and
Mrs. Roemer will take up their home
at Thirty-first street and ST. Paul ave-
