which was lost. Smonides made up his
mind to write himself In ancient Greek
history of Egypt such as he thought IRA
nois might have written. And, deep and
clever as he was, he chose Bunsen's
Egypt" and Lepsius' Chronology as the
authorities which ne faithfully followed.
After he had finished his Greek text he
wrote 1t In dark blue ink and in ancient
uncial Greek letters between the letters OF
a Greek manuscript of about 1850 A. D.
Anybody who knows the smallness Of the
letters In such a manuscript can appreci-
ate the enormous labor it must have been
to insert, as 1t were, beneath and between
these minute lines of each letter the sup
posed earlir writing of Uuranios, so that
the blue ink should never encroach on the
small, but true, Greek letters. One single
mistake would have been fatal, and such
Is the knowledge which antiquaries now
possess of the exact changes of Greek let

When Simondes had finished his MASTER
piece, he boldly offered II to the highest
tribunal. the Royal Berlin academy. The
best chemists OF the time examined 1t mi
croscopically and could find no flaw. Len
sius the great Psychologist, went through
the whole text, and declared that tha book
could not be q forgery, because no one
except Uranios could have known the
names of the ancient Egyptian kings and
the right dates of the various dynasties,
which were exactly such as he had settled
them in his books. The thought that ST.
moindes might have consulted these very
books never entered anybodys mind. Great
was the excitement in the camp Of the
Psychologists, and, though the price de-
manded by Simonides was shamefully ex-
travagant, Bunsen persuaded the then
king of Prussia Frederick William w. to
pay 1t and to secure the treasure for Ber-
lin. Dindorf, the famous Greek scholar,
had been instrusted by Sfmonides with the
editing of the text, and he had chosen the
Clarendon press at Oxford to publish the
first specimen Of It. In the mean timc
unfavorable reports of Simonides reached
the German newspapers, and during a new
examination of the manuscript some irreg-
ularities were detected in the shape of the
uncial NJ. and at last one passage was dis
covered by very strong microscope where
the blue ink had run across the letters OF
the modern Greek text. No doubt could
then remain that the whole manuscript
was a forgery. Part of 1t had actually
been printed at the Clarendon press, and
was able to secure six copies of Dindorf's
pamphlet, which was Immediately destroy
ed, and has now become one Of the scare
est books. Simonides had, of course, to
refund the money, and was sent to prison,
never TO appear again in the libraries OF
Europe.

BROWNSVILLE TOPICS.
The Prize Winners at the Fair Get
Their Premiums,

Thomasville, Ga, Nov 3.-The list of
premium takers at the fair has been pub
lished and the successful exhibitors have
was complete success financially, as well
as otherwise.
The cigar factory building at La Gu
bana was broken into last week and 49,
225 fine cigars, the property of NJ. Corces
& Co., stolen. There is no clew to the
thieves.
The contractor has put his machinery
in place and began to bore Thomasville' s
new artesian well. The well will be bored
at the site of the new water works. 1t
is claimed by biologists that there are
three horizons of artesian water sources
in this section. The first is about 500
feet down, and from this the water will
rise to about 200 feet of the surface. The
second is 1900 feet down, and from this
the water will rise to within Is to 80 feet
of the surface. The last is about
$500 feet down and from this
the water will rise to the surface and
make a flowing well. One of the first wells
bored here Appropriated 1900 feet in
depth, but did not reach the second hori-
zon. A few feet deeper at that time
might have reached water, which would
have come near the serface, and saved
many thousands of dollars since spent in
pumping the water up a distance of more
that 200 feet. But at that time little was
known, even theoretically, about the ar
tesian water supplies in this section Be-
sides the whole work had broken down
completely, the tools falling on top of
each other to the bottom of the deep hole
and becoming hopelessly packed down in
it, their extrication was impossible with
the appliances then known, and the under
taking would had to have been abandoned
even if it was known that flowing water
was only ten feet deeper.
How deep the new well will go no one
now knows, but if flowing water or even
water that will rise to within twenty-five
feet of the surface can be secured, the
we'll would save almost an incalculable
sum in future to the people of this city

county is dead.

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL
OPERATION
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely painful, dangerous
to life and very expensive, but In the light
of modern medical research and since the
discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure sur
gical operation is wholly unnecessary. If
you have any doubt on this point kindly
read the following letters from people who
know that our claims regarding the merits
of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by
the facts.
From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Niagara
Co., N. Y: received your Pyramid Pile
Cure and tested 1t last night. 1t did me
more good than anything have ever
found yet, and remember this was the re-
suit of one nights treatment only.
From Penn w. Arnett Batesville, Ark. /;
Gentlemen-Yo Pyramid Pile Cure has
done me so much good in so short time
that my son-in-law Capt. T. j. Klein, of
Fort Smith, Ark, has written me for your
address, as he wishes to try it also.
From A. E. Townsend, Benville, Ind:
l have been so much benefited by the Py-
ramid Pile Cure that 1 enclose 81 for which
please send package. which | wish to
give to a friend of mine who suffers very
much from piles.
From John H. Wright, Clinton, Dewitt
Co.. Ills: l am so well pleased with the
Pyramid Pile Cure that / think it but
right to drop you a few lines to inform
you its effects have been all that l could
ask or wish.
From P. A. Bruton Llano, Tex: Gem
tlemen-The Pyramid Pile Cure has done
so much good for me that / will say for
the benefit of others that after using only
two days l am better than l have been
for months
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
The pyramid Drug Co. OF Albion, Mich,
and Il is truly a wonderful remedy for all
forms OF piles. So great has been the num-
her OF testimonial letters received by them
from all parts Of the country that they
have decided to publish each week num-
her of such letters and never use the same
letter twice, but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyramid
pile Cure. as they know from what their
customers say that no remedy gives such
general satisfaction.

counties. He figures plurality for Shaw,
rep, of about S1,7S2 These figures will
vary but little. The plurality may be set
down as about $1,000.
Chairman Walsh thinks errors in the
returns may reduce the plurality for Shaw
to 2O,000. The republican plurality last
year was 65,522. Two years ago 1t was
$500 for Drake for governor. Then the
populists had a separate ticket. If the
populist vote be subtracted the republicans
would have a larger plurality this year
than two years ago.

TWO RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

May Enter Agreements.

Canada and the British West indies
May Enter Agreements.
Washington, Nov. 3.-The government is
now favorably considering the question of
securing the system of reciprocity for en-
couraging our commercial relations with
Canada, It Is known that Mr.. Kasson,
who has been especially charged with the
arrangement of reciprocity plans under
the new tariff act, is friendly to such a
course of action. The last reciprocity
treaty which governed the relations of
the two countries was terminated by act
of congress, on the assumption that the
benefits were not equally divided between
them, and that Canada had the advant-
age.
It is learned at the state department
that Sir Julian Pauncefote himself has
not yet communicated with the depart
ment respecting the drawing of a new set
of reciprocity treaties between the United
States and the British West-Indan pos
sessions, but unofficial advices to the eff
feet that he comes charged with such a
mission have been received from London.

Denver, Col, Nov. S.-The result of yes

doubt, so far as justices of the supreme
court is concerned, and it will take the
official canvass to decide who has won.
The Times, which supported Hayt, can
djdate for republicans and silver republic
cans, claims his election by less than 1000.
Returns and estimates so far received
show Hayt 50 votes in the lead. Counties
yet to be heard from are divided and some
doubtful. The chairman of the populist
and democratic parties claim that full re-
turns will give their candidate, Gabbert,
from 1000 to 1900 majority. In all the
most populous counties, the silver repub-
licans claim victory.

SLOW COUNT IN KANSAS.
Republicans Probably Elect Eight Of
the Thirteen Judges.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. Sat a late hour
tonight the returns from Tuesdays cleo
ton in Kansas are still very incomplete.
The indications are that the republicans
have elected eight of the thirteen district
judges. Among republican leaders here it
is positively claimed that the republicans
have elected ten of the judges and they
concede three to the fusionists.
On the other hand the fusionists claim
to have been successful in eight of the jul
dicial districts, but no figures are given
out.
The returns show that in forty-nine
counties the republicans have elected all
or nearly all of their candidates for county
offices In fourteen counties the fusionists
have elected all, or nearly all of their can
didates. In twenty-six counties the offices
are about evenly divided between the flu

BLACKBURN JUBILANT.
The Victory in Kentucky Helps Him
Pay OF Old Scores.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 3.-The headquar-
tiers of the democratic state chairman
were not open tonight, and no further re-
turns were received. There is little inter-
est in the size of Shackelford's majority
as it is conceded to be somewhere in the
neighborhood of 1900. The democrats
have won or increased their vote every
where. The issues were local, free silver
not being an issue in any race from the
lowest to the highest
The efforts at fusion between the repub-
licans and gold democrats in local con-
tests failed sgnally, chiefly because the
negroes would not support the fusion
tickets, a large portion of them being
charged with selling their votes to the
democrats or staying away from registra-
. ton or from the polls for pay.
The democrats have secured a good ma
jority in the legislature, but as
a senator is not to be elect
ed until after another lection is
held for representatives, Mr.. Blackburn
election to succeed Senator Lindsay may
not be accomplished, although Mr.. Black
burn is jubilant over the victory of his
party and very hopeful Of again being re-
turned to the Senate.
Mr.. Blackburn is said to be especially
joyful over the defeat of the gold standard
candidate from his own county by Henry
L. Martin, who stood by him in the legis-
lature so faithfully in two long drawn out
senatorial contests.
MIR. Goebel, state senator from the Cow
ington district, a gold standard man, who
posed as a silverite and led Mr.. Black
burns fight for reelection, goes to the
Senate again, but by a very small margin.
The national democracys candidate for
appellate clerk, Mr.. Hindman, got fewer
votes than expected, as the gold standard
democrats, on account of the fusion with
the republicans, generally voted for the
republican candidates, thus reducing the
silverite majority.
