A Suggestion of Col Shaw, Command
er of G. A R

the department commander of the G,
A r., Col A. D. Shaw to Secretary of
War Alger, suggests that in case of
need, the veterans could be used to
man stations where federal troops are
now located, that all regulars might be
free for use at the front in case of war.
This would Obviate the necessity of
holding regulars at such places a. Buff
falo, Sacketts HarbOr Plattsburg, etc.
Secretary Alger thanks Col. Shaw for
his offer and says that he is very much
interested in the suggestion, but hopes
the future turn of events may make it
unnecessary TO adopt it.

the tower remains yet to be finished.
From the cornice to the apex it will

we'll as in other business enterprises

DESPERATE
Are the Efforts of the Republican
Managers to Secure Control of
the House of Delegates-."Bill Dave"
GOshOrn Tel S of Their Schemes.

For ways that are dark and for
tricks that are vain, the Republican
bosses are peculiar
This was the philosophical observa-
ton of bill Dave" Goshorn, who
came up from Kanawha county yes
terday, and will spend a day or two
here on his way to New York State.
Mr.. Goshorn is thoroughly familiar
with politics at the State capital, and
threw some light on the present de-
spicable scheme OF Dawson and Atkin-
son to organize the House of Delegates
by the Republican members.
Their pla.i," he said, lis to per-
suade a sufficient number of defeated
Republican candidates to give notice of
contests in their respective counties to
overcome the Democratic majority in
the House of Delegates. This would
seem to DE a legal impossibility, mas
much as the Secretary of State is re-
quired to enroll the names of those
who present certificates of election
But to the Republican bosses all things
are possible There is a Democratic
majority of seven in the House. Daw-
son is trying TO PERSUADE at least eight
defeated Republican candidates to give
notice of contest If he succeeds he
will refuse to enroll in cases in which
there are contests. thus placing Dem
ocrats in the minority when 1t comes
to the organization of the House. I
am glad to see that there are several
honorable Republicans who decline to
be parties to such a scheme. and I am
glad that the Register is exposing
Dawson and Atkinson. Their scheme
does not meet with the approval of
decent Republicans in the rank and
file.
When / left Charleston it was re-
ported that Governor Atkinson would
call out two companies Of the militia
to aid in this deliberate steal.
There is suspicion down in Kan
awha which has all the force Of con-
viction that Dawson is not for Atkin-
son Tor United States Senator. but that

HE ENTERED NO. IS BEFORE DAY
LIGHT AND MADE HIS WAY TO
The ROOM OF MRS. REBECCA
HARDEN-TRIED TO PASS HIM
SELF OFF AS THE COOK.

Yesterday morning before daylight
an unusually bold attempt was made
to rob the boarding house kept by Mrs.
Rebecca A. Harden, widow of the late
j. p Harden, at No. 945 Main street.
The building was entered by an un-
known man, who evidently came in
through the front door, where key
hangs for the convenience of boarders
who may come in late. The fellow
either had knowledge of this key. or
else found it by accident and used it
to gain admittance to the house
Once inside, he obtained a towel and
cut it in two, lengthwise. tying the two
piece stogether, evidently intending to
use this towel for the purpose of bind
ing any one he might come across, as
1t was about as strong as a half-inch
rope. Armed with this towel, the fell
low knocked at Mrs. Harden's door.
Mrs. Harden heard him and thought it
was the housekeeper coming to
awaken her. Getting no response, the
man knocked again and called out, in
a disguised voice, that it was Ann, the
cook" Mrs. Harden was not imposed
upon, and called out that it was not
the cooks voice, when the marauder
attempted to burst open the door Mrs
Harden ran to the door, and the
strength of the lock and her own efforts
suffced to hold it secure
The intruder then went down stairs
and unbolted the back door, but went
out of the front door, as he had come
in. Mr.. Clair O'Neil heard him in the
house, but supposed it was the cook
moving about, as it was about her time
to get up. AS far as could be learned,
nothing was stolen.

70 Anyone Adlioted with PlIes.


The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new
painless remedy which has been so re-
markably successful. in curing every
form OF piles and rectal diseases. has
recently been placed. on sale at drug
g1sts and 1t is safe to say that when
It's extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure of this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. M. c. Hinkly, of COL Mississippi
ST., Indianapolis, Ind, says: I had
been a terrible sufferer from piles for
10 years and no remedies benefited
me, until / saw an advertisement of
the Pyramid Pile Cure; / got a pack
ase, also package of Pyramid Pills,
and used both according to directions.
l was astOnished at the immediate re-
lief obtained and now / honestly be-
lieve the Pyramid to be the only GER
tain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad was,
l will say that I was confined to my
bed and went before the college ply
sicians here who said my case was a
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on
a rupture, and l knew an operation
would be death to me on account of
blood poisoning. Nearly everyone
here knows of my terrible suffering
from piles and l feel that 1 cannot
praise the Pyramid Pile Cure enough,
and the Pyramid Pills also. My hus-
band will join me in highly recon-
mending the Pyramid my daughter
was cured by one box only. For sew
eral years l weighed but about 80
pounds, now l weigh $50 and feel In
perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mory of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; 1T is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever has soothing, healing eff
feet from the first application, and the
moderate price places it within the
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents and $1.O0 pei
package, and the Pyramid Pills at 20
cents per box.
Send to Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for free book on cause and cure
of piles.

REPUBLICAN, MAN AG ERs TO
THWART THE WILL OF THE PEO-
Pile DEMOCRATIC Senate r
WILL BE CHOSENLA FULL LIST
OF SENATORS AND DELEGATES
CHOSEN, AND THE HOLD OVER
SENATORS.
Full and complete Official returns
from every county in the State show
the next Legislature to be Democratic
by three on joint ballot. All the re-
counts have been completed, with a
net Democratic gain of three members
of the House Of Delegates. Democrats
elect one member in Taylor, one in
Lewis and one in Monroe. The fact
that the election machinery is in the
hands of the Republicans in two of
the three counties, is alone sufficient
to disprove the charges made by the
Republicans.
In the election held last month, the
Democrats elected 48 members of the
Legislature, and the Republicans 49,.
This shows that the people desire a
Democratic successor to Senator
Faulkner in the United States Senate.
OF the hold-over members Of the Sen
ate, two are Democrats and nine Re-
publicans, making the next Legisla-
ture on joint ballot Democrats so, Re-
publicans AZ. The Democrats elected
Senators to succeed Pierson and Get
zendanner, who vacated their seats to
accept commissions in the United
States army. The Republicans may at
tempt to seat Pierson and Getzendan-
ner, but it is hardly likely that a
United States Senator chosen with
their votes would be permitted to take
his seat.
Republicans are now engaged in a
desperate effort to fraudulently or
ganize the House of Delegates, but
their plans are known and are being
carefully watched by the Democratic
managers. Following is a full list of
the members of the next Legislature,
and the only correct list yet pub
lished:
The Senate.
First district, Hancock, Brooke and
Ohio counties-N. E. Whitaker, R., Wheel
ing: Oliver S. Marshall, R., New Cumber

Second District, Marshall Wetzel and
