quantity of dynamite, with the intent
then and there to maliciously and felo-
niously destroy, burn, damage, ETC."
THAT is a little different offense from
the one charged in the other two
counts. II you returned a general ver-
dict of guilty in manner and form as
charged in the indictment, that would
cover all that is charged in it.
"If you should make a special finding
1t seems to me your special finding
should he confined to the first and
second counts only, leaving your gem
eral finding to stand as to the third
count IL you so desire. SO under these
circumstances / would advise that you
limit your special finding as to the
first and second counts. in this way
making a return of a general verdict
and then a special finding. And as to
the charge of felonious arson, con-
tained in the first and second counts
In the indictment. we find as follows:
That presents the matter in a little
different form than what l said to you
few moments ago. l do not want to
impose too much upon you, but simply
guide you.
This is all for the purpose of more
fully protecting the rights of the de-
fendant, but the whole thing is within
your control and must be your own
adoption. You may take the sugges-
tions of the court. but the verdict as
rendered must be your own"
Foreman Allen addressed the court,
and said:
We'll, your honor. ii seems to be the
opinion of the jurymen that this man
is guilty. or was the cause of that fire,
and the jury do not think it would be
just to allow this thing to be thrown
out on little technicality, and we
want to render a verdict which is en-
tirely proper. We don't know just how
to do it,"
Judge Archbald-"Well, in making
these suggestions / do not want to
impose anything upon you at all. If it
seems best TO you that you should re-
turn just a general verdict of guilty
or not guilty, and you think that is the
simplest way to dispose of it and the
best way. why that would be entirely
satisfactory to the court"
At 2.30 the jury returned and handed
up the following:
We find the defendant guilty in
manner and form as charged in the
first and second counts of the indict-
ment and not guilty as charged in the
third count"
They indicated that they did not
want to have anything to do with the
| special finding. If Olchefski escaped
on a technicality it would be no fault
of theirs
At the request of Mr.. Scragg, of coun
| sci for the defense, the jury was polled
| and all acquiesced in the verdict The
| jurors were then discharged with the
| thanks of the court.

A eAReARous SURGICAL OPERATION
For the euro of Piles.

Is not only intensely painful, danger
Gus to life and very expensive, but in
the light OF modern medical research
and since the discovery OF the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure q surgical operation is
wholly unnecessary. If YOU have any
doubt on the point kindly read the fol-
lowing 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, Mag
ara Co., N. Y: I received your Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and tested 1t last night.
1t did me more good than anything I
have ever found yet, and remember
this was the result of one nights treat
ment only.
From Penn w. Arnett. Batesville,
Ark: Gentlemen:-YourP 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. Il. Townsend, Benville, Ind:
/ have been so much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose 81 for
which please send a package which I
wish to give to friend of mine who
SuhtIS very piltS'
From John II. Wright, Clinton, De-
| Witt Co.. Ills: I am so well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that I
think it but right to drop you few
lines to inform you its effects have
been all that l could ask or wish.
From p. A. Bruton, Llano, Tex:
conference.-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 / am better
| than 1 have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
| by The Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall,
Mich, and it is truly wonderful rem
edy for all forms of piles. So great has
| been the number of testimonial letters
received by them from all parts of the
country that they have decided to pub
| lish each week a number of such let
| terS.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. as they know from what
| their customers say that no remedy
| gives such general satisfaction.

and tho process of preparing the dainty
white decoration viewed with great in
terest.
By tho time the circuit of this part Of the
grounds was made the visitors were
thoroughly impressed with the magnitude OF
the plan and the great extent of territory
covered by this tract alone. They were loud
in their praises OF the beauty Of the arrange
ment and the magnificent scale on which the
whole was being carried out. The beauty
OF design of the buildings and the impressive
ensemble were freely commented on and the
most pessimistic were convinced by the mag
nitude of the undertaking and the advanced
stage which had been reached
TOUCHES THEIR PRIDE.
From tho main court the party passed to
the bluff tract, where the state buildings,
the Horticulture building the Power build
ing and other smaller buildings were seen
In course OF construction. The imposing ap-
pearance OF the Illinois and Nebraska
buildings seemed to make quite an impress
sion on tho Iowans and when the site Sc
lectel by the Iowa commission for the Iowa
building was pointed out, in close juxtapo-
siton to the Illinois and Nebraska buildings,
the argument of the Iowa commissioners
against a niggardly appropriation and
small state building seemed to strike home.
While the party was in this portion of the
grounds n large delegation from Council
Bluffs made its appearance and the members
quickly distributed themselves among the
legislators from their state and added their
logical reasoning to the strong ocular evil
dence before the eyes of the solcns.
After tho grounds had been thoroughly in
spected tho party returned to the Millari
hotel.
The spacious main dining room of the Mil
lard was prepared for the large party in
manner appropriate to the Importance OF the
occasion and the size of the gathering, Four

the big seyouty-two-hour bicycle race was
exciting and was a desperate effort of the
two leaders, Waller and Elkcs. to carry of
the big end of the purse Eikes won by

and sixty yards.
Five minutes before the finish all Of the
riders left the track giving the two high
men clear way to fight for the honor and
money. ElSos was in the lead, with Waller
tapping his wheel A lively pace was set
up at once. Many times Waller put on
all of his power to pass his young opponent,
but each time Elkes' reserve force proved
the better, and amid the widest kind OF
enthusiasm kept the lead to tac end.
The final sore was: Elkcs, l,S22 miles,
