SHELBYVILLE. Ind, March 6.--The CHI
cago express on the Big Four left the track
on account OF a washout three miles and a
half above here this morning. All the pas
sengers have been returned to indianapolis
and it will be difficult for any trains to reach
Cincinnati over the Big Four until Sunday
night or Monday morning. The washout Is
between Brandywine river and Swamp creek
and the tracks are spread for distance OF
500 feet.
The train consisted of four sleepers, three
dag coaches. one baggage car and one mail
car. When the engineer saw the water COW
ering the tracks he supposed he could get
through. He found this impossible and re-
versed his engine. The train broke and one
sleeper was left on the safe side. The rest
OF the train left the rails and slid down the
bank, but did not topple over. The passen-
gers were all safely removed.

MunfCinnI Politics.,

While a great deal of quiet work Is going
on in political circles, there does not seem
to be very much interest taken in the spring
election, which Is to be held on April g.
Four councilmen and three members of Board
of Education are to be elected. The First
ward republicans are talking of getting to-
gether and selecting some good man to rep
resent the ward. If this is done, it Is lg-
ured that any man the democrats want to
put up can be beaten at the polls. R. G.
Young of Swift and Company, has been sug-
gested as a representative republican. Cap
tain Gichrist is also mentioned, so is Harry
Carpenter. A. R. Kelly has many friends
who would like to see him holding down a
councllman's job but Kelly asserts that he
is not looking for the office, as 1t would be
impossible to devote any time to city affairs.
1t is figured that it will be a hard matter
to elect republican in the Second ward, but
IL good man Is chosen, Mics and Franek the
two democratic aspirants, will have a fight
on their hands. Franek has been working
on his campaign for a long time, and is
very anxious to be reelected. Mics has
entered the ring. and the fight there will be
between the friends of these two men. Over
in the Third ward John Ryan. John Wear
and Patrick Hyland are all hustling for the
democratic nomination. Two years ago
Hyland was elected on the republican ticket,
but he has switched and would like the sup
port OF the democrats this year. Some hard
worlo will most likely be done by all of the
candidates between now and the date set for
holding the primaries

A GREAT REMEDY.
For sufferers from piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist In the study
and treatment OF Piles and rectal disease s.,
recently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure,
the new discovery for the cure of piles. was
the most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect; and that was.
the instant relief experienced In all cases,
no matter how severe, from the moment the
remedy was applied: this was the more sur
prising TO him. because he had carefully
analyzed the preparation and no trace OF
opium, cocaine or similar poison could be
detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon the
Pyramid Pile Cure, because 1t srapidly taxi
ing the place OF surgical operations and
because 1t Is so simple. so easily applied and
contains no mineral or other poisons 80 COM
monty used in pile cures.
DR.. EsterbroOk reports that the Pyramid
pile Cure not only cures the various forms
OF Piles, but never falls to give immediate
relief on the first application, no matter how
severe the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often Astonshed at the instant re-
lief experienced from the first application.
Another important advantage Is the fact that
any one can use the remedy without deten-
ton from business or interference with daily
occupation. Sold by druggists at 30 cents
per package.

South Omaha News /.

A day or two ago The Bee printed an inter-
view with w. l.. Holland, local manager OF
the Nebraska Telephone company, in which
he asserted that j. G. Hoppnger. who was
supposed to be at the head OF the new tele-
phone company now seeking a franchise from
the city council was not rated in Dun's or
Bradstreets. Frank p. Collins. agent for
the Mississippi Valley Telephone company,
was in the city yesterday. and made state
ment to the effect that j, c. 1lubinger OF
Keokuk, Ia, Is the man who Is backing the
new venture. Mr.. Hubinger Is given rat
ing in both Bradstreets and Dun's. In
some way alt of the newspapers here, in re-
ferrlng to the scheme, used the name Hop
piuger. instead of Hubinger This error
causing the misstatement Chairman Cald-
well of the council judiciary committee under
stood that Hoppinger was the person to look
up, as did also a number Of other city officials
interested. AS for business men having to
pay for two phones, Mr.. Collins says that II
the new company does not get three-hfths oil
the present subscribers OF the Nebraska Tele-
phone company. the concern he represents
would not accept a franchise. Continuing, Mr..
Collins said that unless his company obtained
franchise in Omaha Il would not bother
with putting In a plant here, as the sub
scrlpton list is too small to fight over.
One section of the ordinance granting the
new company franchise, which was read
for the first time at the meeting OF the coun-
Gil last Monday night. is causing considerable
unfavorable comment. The section provides
that poles erected In streets and alleys shall
be so placed as to Interfere as little as posi-
BILE with the use of the streets and alleys.
Any subsequent change or removal OF these
poles, which is made by order of the, city
council shall be without expense to the COM
pany. In other words. II the city officials
do not like the location Of the poles, the city
will be compelled to pay Tor moving the
same. Business men who have been seen
in regard to this clause, say that the city
has no money to pay its debts with, let alone
moving the poles and wires of a corporation.
The general feeling seems to be that this
clause should be stricken from the ordinance
If there Is any likelihood Of the council
granting the franchise. Others are of the
opinion that the council could very well walt
until the Omaha council reports on the fran
chise, for, unless franchise is granted there
the lines will not be built here.
The whole matter will most likely be thor
oughly gone into when the judiciary commit
tee meets Monday afternoon.

KEYsoR DENIES THE ISJUscTroS.
Douglas County Ballots VIII BE Re-



The application for an Injunction to restrain
County Clerk Redheld from sending the bal
lots on the constitutional amendments and
the poll books Of this county to Lincoln was
denied yesterday by Judge Keysor. The
court stated that the application was denied
for the reason that Il had not been shown
that the plaintiff Phil E. Winter had any
standing in court and for the further reason
that court of equity had no jurisdiction In
the matter. The question OF the alleged un-
conatitutlonallty of the recount law was not
touched upon.
In passing upon the matter Judge Keysor
said that 1t had not been shown that the
plaintiff would suffer great or irreparable In
jury by the carrying out OF the law, and 1t
had not been shown that the granting OF a
restraining order would stop any expense
attaching to the execution Of the law. The
expense OF carrying out the law would be
so small upon any taxpayer, the court said,
that It would be ridiculous for a court to
enjoin II upon that ground.
1t had been alleged, the court said, that
the county clerk would be violating prior
law II he sent the ballots TO Lincoln, put
the court said that an equity court could
not act in such case 1t being for the off,
Ger himself to use his best Judgment atter
consulting with his advisers. The court also
held that this application did not go TO the
heart of the matter, and II the people oil tne
state had adopted the amendments 1t had
best be known at once
Judge Keysor said he would decide the
case mainly upon a point which had not
been raised and that was that court OF
equity has no jurisdiction in such case.
The question involved in the case, he said,
was that of the title Of the two men de-
clared to have been elected judges of the
supreme court. The court cited decisions In
support Of its position that the proper course
to take would be to contest the right OF
these two men to hold office after they shall
have been declared elected. This action
could be brought under laws provided for
such cases.
In conclusion Judge Keysor said he had not
examined the question of the alleged un-
constitutionality of the new law and would
not pase upon that question.

1t has been decided that the tickets for the

for this party of excursionists $50 seats al

1t seems also that the tickets of the Alton
railroad will have a coupon calling for q

desired And 1t is not improbable that
