HE GOT BLACK BART.
Bold Bandit TaNer WIN
Resign His Office.
rrom the Chicago Inter Ocean.


From, the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Tom Cunningham, the sheriff OF san
JOAQUIN county, California the captor OF
the famous bandit BLACK Bart" Is about
70 retire 10 private life after faithfully
servine. the people for over quarter of
a century.
Curningham's official career has been a
remarkable one. He left the harness
shop for the sheriff's Office quarter of
century ago and has succeeded himself
at every election held since. When he
laid down his awl and took up shooting
irons the sheriff spent more time in the
saddle than in comfortable offices. In
those days 1t was essential that the sher-
iff be an active, fearless man, not only
to be a terror TO the evildoers, of which
there were SO many, but to head off and
discourage the efforts of Judge Lynch in
the community
The fame of Cunnngham's "rogues'
gallery is known all over the Pacific
coast. There is nothing to compare with
il on this side of the Rocky mountains,
either The number of pictures has
reached the astounding figure of between
Al 900 and 42,O00. These pictures show the
faces of criminals, past ana present. from
all over the world. Some are dead, others
immured behind prison walls. Cunning
ham has had an elaborate system OF ex-
change in pictures. This picture gallery
has cost him fully $4,000. The albums
have been carefully guarded. II has not
been every officer who could see them.
There are faces there of men now living
honest and respected lives whose past is
unknown TO those by whom they are low
ed and respected. For every picture there
IS a brief biography, telling of the Grim
inal. his crime, his characteristics, and
appearance The forger, burglar, and In
fact the principal species Of criminals are
so arranged that a person having the key
10 the albums knows right where to look
for his man.
Almost every visitor 10 Stockton has
looked through the museum the sheriff
has gathered during the last quarter OF
a century 1t is a remarkable collection
OF grim articles, with bloody histories
The museum occupies a large room In the
spacious apartments of the sherin's Of.

seventies killed his son-in-law in Calave-
ras county. Cox was hanged for his
crime This coat was found on him at
the time of his arrest
Black Bart, that accomplished road agent
of most original methods, was finally
caught, more through the clever work of
Tom Cunningham than any other man.
Black Bart was a wonderful pedestrian.
He would reach Stockton from San Fran
cisco on the morning boat and by night
fall would have walked forty miles into
the mountains The next day the poetical
robber would turn his usual trick. Old
timers, will recall with what frequency
the stages were robbed. Cunningham vas
always on the ground as soon as possible
to look for some evidence. His staying
qualities were finally rewarded. Arrlv-
ing a the point where the stage had last
been stopped, he examined the ground
closely. Suddenly he reached down and
picked up a cuff. That find marked the
end of Bart's career. Cunningham exam
ined the cuff closely, and officers who
were with him waited to see what he
would say. Finally Cunningham exclaim-
ed:
"At last we have a clue" and directed
the officers attention 10 the mark "FXO7
on the border. The cuff was taken to San
Francisco. and after long search SINH
lar marks were found on other linen IN
a laundry Bart was located and then in
veiged into a room where the officers
were waiting. He was under the impress
sion that he was going to negotiate the sale
of a mine As quick as his eyes fell on
his expected purchasers he merely threw
up his hands and exclaimed:
Gentlemen, ] pass"
That was the end Of his clever days Of
stage robbing, and It was brought about
by lhe cuff which Cunningham found.

A new microbe producing disease IN

government. An epidemic having appeared
among rats kept IN the laboratory for ex-
perlmental purposes, bacillus was lsoat-
ed from the liver and spleen Of the affect
ed animals, and lnOculation with this
proved extremely fatal TO both rats and
mice. In food also. the organism inv8ria-

the couples fan straightway In love with
one another. especially the men, who have
heard from their sweethearts, that in
Kalamazoo. an eccentric old woman has
left will by which only a person of less

her fortune. There Is a hitch, however
for there is a codcil in which the old
lady makes IL a condition that the heir
must first find a go.den horseshoe which
she has hidden away somewhere In a
swamp The treasure is finally discovered

woman - at the bottom of the
sea, which she has reached by means of
submarine boat. The Lilliputians are

APLAUGE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
tai TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BYA NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
Remarkable Number of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person ir every four suffers from
some form Of rectal disease. The most com
mon and annoying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth, slight moisture and intense, un-
comfortable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give tcm-
porary relief, but nothing like a permanent
cure can be expected from such superficial
treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not
only for itching piles, but for every other form
of piles, blind, bleeding or protruding. The
first application gives instant relief and the
continued use for short time causes per
manent removal of the tumors or the small
parasites which cause the intense itching and
discomfort Of itching piles.
Many physicians for a loug time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis Of the remedy showed it to be
absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or
in fact any poisonous, injurious drugs what
ever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure i,
probably the only pile cure extensively recon-
mended by physicians, because it is so safe, SO
prompt in the relief afforded and so far as
known the only positive cure for piles except
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has he
come the best known, the safest and the most
extensively sold Of any pile cure before the
public
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so cents
and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich.
for book on cause and cure of piles and also
hundreds of testimonials from all parts of the
United States.
If suffering from any form of piles ask your
druggist for package of Pyramid Pile Cure
and try it tonight,

OVER JEALOUS AMERICANS.
Canadian Police Compelled Them t,
Haul Down Our Fling.

Haul Down Our Fling.
Victoria, B. c., Jan. 15.-Conector of
Customs Milne is in receipt of a letter
from Skaguay in which it is alleged
that Mr.. Smith, United States commits
sioner for DYea and Skaguay, claims
a strip of land three miles down from
the head of Lake Bennett, which is
near the boundary as defined by the
United States, and which would give
the United States control of the terri
tory from the coast to the lake The
commissioner. the writer alleges, has
ordered all locators of lots to have
them recorded with him.
A party of Americans, the writer says,
followed the commissioners decision by
hosting the American flag just below
the police barracks where the British
flag was flying The Canadian mounted
police demanded an explanation, and
after some parleying the flag was haul
ed down an an apology rendered.
The same letter contains information
that Bernard Moore is having more
trouble with squatteTs on land which
he claims at Skaguay. Early in the
present month, it is alleged, he turned
out with an armed force and drove
squatters off the land, 1t is also stated
that some firing was done, but nobody
was hurt.
