Gen. Nelson A. Miles.

The Personal RecolIections of Cen
eral Nelson A. Miles, published by
The Werner company of Chicago, is
valuable and interesting book recently
issued. To the charm of a personal
narrative emanating from so diSting-
uished a source is added a chronicle of
stirring events embracing the widest
possible field of adventure, admirably
illustrated by the graphic sketches of
Frederic Remington and other Compel
ent artists, both pen and pencil por-
traying with vivid strokes one of the
most mOmentous epochs in American
history, involving no smaller an issue
than the settlement and civilization OF
great west.
incidentally introduced will be found
a picturesque and ting account
of wild sports in the west ere the great
game had been either exterminated or
driven into almost inaccessible noun
tain SOlitudes- 1t is a striking picture
of primitive life in the wilderness, now
only a memory among men, emphasize
ing, by contrast with present condi-
tiOns, the startling rapidity with which
the vast territory beyond the Missisip-
pi has been brought within the domain
of civilization.
Probably to most readers the impor-
lance of these valuable "reminiscences
will center in the six years of Indian
campaigns in which the writer was ac-
lively engaged.
Prominent as is the subject of Indian
control, General Miles story is by no
means limited to this theme. He writes
graphically of the closing scenes of the
civil war. There is a feeling. as well
as a discriminating account of the Gus
ter massacre, and of a pathetic visit to
the scene of that deplorable calamity.

MAKE ANOTHER TRIAL.
Temperance People Decide to
Move Upon the Joints
Provided They Can Get the
County Attorney to Act.
County Attorney Says He Will Act if
the Temperance People Will Get
the Evidence and Pay Ex-
pense Of Getting It

Another effort is to be made to Sc
cure the enforcement of the prohibitory
law in Topeka. After several attempts
to close the saloons under the Repub-
hcan administration of A. K. Rodgers
and DR.. F. S. McCabe, the temperance
people stopped disheartened.
At a meeting last evening a commit
tee was appointed to arrange for a mass
meeting. The committee is as follows:
Jesse Shaw, NJ T. Campbell, Rev L.
Blakesley, c. H. Morrison and Rev.
c. b. Dalton.
The meeting yesterday was called by
the executive committee of the State
Temperance union and County Treas
urer F. NJ. Stahl was elected chairman.
The committee of the temperance
union is going direct to County ArtOr-
ney JetmOre, and the meeting was re-
ally for the purpose of calling on him
to act. Secretary Stephens had been
instructed to invite Mr.. JetmOre to be
present, but he failed to appear and
Mr.. Stephens was sent in quest of the
official.
Meanwhile those present talked. A.
H. Vance, who was instrumental in
calling the meeting, made the first
statement. Mr.. Vance said that Coun-
ty Attorney Jetmore had told several
members of the committee, among them
J. 3. Larimer and j. w. Gleed, that if
the union would furnish him with evil
dence he would prosecute the violators
of the prohibitCry law.
a month ago the work of collecting
evidence was commenced, and at con-
siderable expense positive evidence was
secured against many jOintists. when
the evidence was taken to Mr. Jet
more" continued Mr.. Vance, he said
he would prosecute if some one would
make the complaints. The committee
refused to do 50 because we hold that
it is a duty that belongs to the county
attorney. We are at the end of our
resources It seems that nothing can
be done to stop the lawlessness which
is growing more prevalent every day"
F. H. Foster said: After the county
attorney refused to make the COM
plants I talked with the sheriff, but he
7 said that he did not want to make the
complaints on our information, but said
that he might investigate for himself
I'VE thought from reports given out
by the police commissioners that we
might expect relief from that source,
but there seems to be no hope of any
thing being accomplished through the
police. Lawlessness is on the increase

Cambridge Mass, March 27.-The

award it to Yale.
The question was: Resolved, That
the United States should adopt definite

Great Britain, France and Germany

SIMPLE AT FIRST.
It is Foolish to Neglect Any Form Of
Piles, Cure Them at the Beginning.

Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain or
loss of blood, quickly, surely and COM
pletely. There is only one remedy that
will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.

ately heals the irritated surface and

cure is thorough and permanent.

ceived:

Washington, March 27.-Messrs. Hatch
and Smith, representing Hawaii. have
seen Secretary Sherman in regard to
the question of annexation and pre-
scented to him arguments in its favor
They decline to discuss the attitude of
the president or Mr.. Sherman on the
subject except to say that the situa-
ton is encOura ging.
Everything, said Minister Hatch, is
as yet in a tentative shape, and nothing
formal has been done.
Attorney General Smith. who has been
in the city several weeks, will start
next week on his return to the island.
