THE REIGN OF FRANCIS JOSEPH
II is the rarest kind OF tribute to per-

stand out after these fifty troublesome
years as the one point of agreement that
is common TO all his peoples. Much of
his authority is due 20 the great TRACE

of exhaustion have lifted the monarchy
above party politics into a position OF
discriminating influence: but more 70 the

nUsIc AND DRArlA
THE REAL. WIDOW BROWN.


A small but very much delighted audi
ence saw The Real Widow Brown" at
the Crawford Grand last night. The play
is a comedy with a plot full OF laughter
provoking situations. with enough good
specialties thrown in TO make il interest
ing to every one. In this it is more sat
isfactory than simply a farce comedy
without a plot TO hold the attention of the
audience. The play is new. having first
been produced two years ago. The COM
pany is composed of people new in this
part of the country, but clever. The first
act is rather weak compared with the
seond and third, the first act being simply
an explanation of the plot and introduce
ton of characters who make things high
" interesting IN the succeeding acts. The
gavotte in the third act is musical
gem and was very beautifully sung. The
monologues by VIM. J. Hoyt and Eddie
Clark We're exceedingly clever. and Chas.
harrington did a very creditable special
" in the first act in limitations OF musical
instruments, birds and animals. Miss
Henshaw's Marguerite was also very
good. The show is a good one.

CASE OF DESTITUTlON
Nye Family Didn't Want to
Give Up Shot Gun.

It is said that the board Of county COM
missioners on the carpet for some OF his
performances with the family at 81 East

Oklahoma City few days ago, where he
saws he has lived for two months work
ing in a livery barn. He took TO having
chNls and continued 10 have them despite
all the doctors could do for him He was
advised 20 leave the place, this the physi-
clans considering the only way Of secur-
ing relief he ould recommend Nye left
and came here.
The first official notice Of their distress
was taken by Officer Stewart, who seeing
their restitution began to try 70 help
them. They had no fire and no fuel. Mr..
Stewart went 10 Towards barn, got coal
and took il up to them. They had no food
Mrs Nye told a reporter for the Eagle
and Mr. Stewart that the family had
eaten only one meal a day since last
Tuesday week On the table were three
little bowls, two dirty saucers and dish
of stale macaroni which Mrs. Nye had
got at one of the hotels.
She said that the little child beside the
father was sick and that the county ply
stefan was cafled. Mrs. Nye said, and her
husband confirmed the statement, that he
reached up and got an old shotgun which
lay across the door for his pay. Dir. Nye
got up and showed Officer Stewart how
the physician took the gun down and how
he himself took the gun away from him.
The mother and three children were sleep

The case was reported next day by Of
fcer Stewart to Major Burt, who took
the matter up and provided for the fam

draI. Albert Pike lodge No. 500, A F. q
A. NJ. held their annual election OF Of
fcers and installation. There was no work
and the entire evening was given up 10 the
special business on hand. and this. by the
way, is among the most rigidly followed
rituals OF the twenty-six landmarks OF
symbolic Masonry. That every gathering
of Masons, wheresoever assembled, mus,
be governed first by a grand master and,
as next in power and rank. by master
is one of the inviolable landmarks All the
regulation ceremonies were completely

custodians of the sacred work.
After the impressive ceremonies Of in
stallation. the large audience of master
Masons repaired to the first floor and sat
down TO a sumptuous banquet. After the
rejection, toasts were assigned and re-
sponded to. amidst the effluvia of alfalfa
cigars and the inspiration of cold water.
Albert Pike lodge is among the youngest
of the Kansas lodges. but also among the
foremost in both quantity and quality OF
work done, and the past year has been a
very successful one, with the outlook very
satisfactory for the approaching year.
Fred Stuckey. the outgoing master. has
made splendid record and the lodge IS
proud of him. The incoming master. God

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure.

Is The fact that it cures every form Of piles
without one particle Of pain. This desir-
able point is no, obtained by the use Of
Injurious opiatcs. which simply dea6en and
paraiyze the nerves Of the parts and make
matters worse in the long run. But it is
done solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while j, thus gives immediate relief
a; The same time the disease is not mercy
checked. bGt a radical cure is rapidly sc-
comolished.
And the point We wan; 20 make clear Is
thar all this IS done without a particle Of
pain.
This fact IS one reaSen for the great
popularity Of the Pyramid Pne cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween it ana almost any other kind Of
treatment FOR piles
Every kind Of surgical operation for piies
is excrEciatinSly painful besides endang-r-
Ing the life Of the patient. and in most
cases is not TO be compared with the
Pyramid Cure, neither in making success
ful cures without pain nor in cheapness
and safety
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public too long. and its merits recos-
nized by toa many people TO allow IL 20
be ciassed with the many salves. suppos-
itories. pills. etc, and yen ran no risk in
trying ii. as IS often the ease with new
and untried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any form
OF piles or rectal disease do not forget the
Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by the Pyra-
mid Drug Co. Marshall, Mich. and sold

Nature makes the cures
after all.
Now and then she gets
into tight place and needs
helping out.
Things get started in the
wrong direction.
Something is needed to
check disease and start the
system in the right direction
toward health.

DIGBY BELL COMING.

The management of the Crawford Grand
has secured for Wichita a one nights en-
gagement Of Digby Bell in his well known
comedy The HoOsier Doctor" for next
Saturday night. The play is written by
the author of Alabama" which gave
such excellent satisfaction here two sea
sons ago. Digby Bell and Laura Joyce
Bell, his talented wife, are so well known
that they need no introduction. They
appeared in Wichita some years ago
when McCaull and his excellent opera
company were here. The Hoosier Doc
tor is said 10 be Mr.. Bells best piece
that he has ever played. and Wichita
theatre goers viii have an opportunity OF
seeing these two well known comedy
stars on Saturday night.

for that reason would not have the time
to devote to the duties the Office require.
Mr. Campbell has been a strong supporter
of ex-state Treasurer Jim Hamilton, and
is yet, but Mr.. Campbell came up in the
light of a compromise.
]. c. Po,ock. who has had his name used
so promiscuously lately as private secre-
tary and insurance commissioner. yester-
day gave out the following statement,
which effectually settles the matter so far
as he is concerned:
There is no office within the gift Of Mr..
Stanley that l could afford 70 accept, and
l have so informed him.
Mr.. Pollock's mind is entirely devoted 10
law. and any official position not in line
with his profession is distasteful 10 him.
This was the opinion of his friends and ac-
quaintances, hence they were not prepared
to believe that he was an applicant, recep-
tive or otherwise. for any position under
the present state administration.
Mr. Albaugh will arrive here from King
man today, and Mr. Stanley will also come
back from Topeka. Probably something
definite in the matter Of private secretary
will be known by tomorrow.
A prominent politician last night gave
his views on the fight for places on the
railroad commission, the fight around
which all other contests now center
There are six members of the executive
council-Stanley. GODDARD, Clark, Nelson,
Crimes and Cole.
About a week ago. says this politician.
the slate was made up of Crum and AL
baugh. This knocked Jim Simpson out of
the place. although Simpson had four
members for him-Godard, Clark Nelson
and Grimes. This was enough, of course.
The minute Mort Albaugh entered the race
Simpson was out of it, as he could not
hold his four members together with Mort
Albaugh in the race. Simpson was wild.
The crowd tried TO pacify him with the
promise of national committeeman in 1900.
He wouldn't pacify There was going 10
be big row, or at least Albaugh thought
there was going 10 be- and that is why he
has Withdrawn from everything Now the
situation stands probably just az it did be-
fore. Simpson has four members of the
board-enough to elect He is Cyrus Le-
lands man. But notwithstanding this,
railroad board made up of Lit Crum and
Jim Simpson will lead TO a howl in Kansas
such as mortal man never heard before.
Now continued the politician 'if the
vote were taken today Simpson would get
in; will. perhaps. anyway
Another thing, I believe, is that Baker
will not remain United States senator. and
that If he steps out Chester Long viii take
his place. or that if Baker doesn't take
Iudgeship Long will be the leading cand-
date for senator in 1900
