lelujahs go up in the smoke of exulta-
tion over nothing but a successful lie
carved by an industrious reporter, out
of the dull monotOny of a war con-
Quoted on the plan of a peaceful
blockade.
Saturday night about one O'Clock a
report of rumOr that Sampson had
blown up the Spanish armada came
over the wires, and Immediately all
the gongs, whistles, anvlls and other
instruments of auditory torture emitted
the most horrible yells Of anything in
vented in Hutchinson, except the hlla-
rious humans who spent so much good
physical energy in trying to Guido
them. Everybody who had nerves con-
cluded it was better to brave the bed
lam on the streets than to wrestle with
outraged slumber, and the crowd
surged, and stole dry goods boxes and
built bon fires and went crazy to their
entire satisfaction, till about four
O'Clock when they perambulated home
to wake up late next day with intimate
knowledge of a certain tired feeling
and the fact that the battle they had
celebrated had been fought by lone
reporter at Key West.

Bad Hail.

A very disastrous hail storm struck
the south part of the county last Fri
day night. The limits of the damaged
district do not seem to be very closely
defined. 1t hailed as far north as this
city and some of the hail stones were
quite large, but directly south so far as
we could learn not much damage was
done. In many places hail stones we're
large enough to break window lights
but not thick enough to beat down the
crops very badly. The worst damage
reported is from the neighborhoOd of
Arlington and south of there to Lerado
and about Haven. In these places
thousands of acres Of wheat were beaten
into the ground. Corn also suffered
the same but it is not destroyed so but
it will come on again; but already late
and sickly it will make It much later.
Many of the farmers have insured
their wheat against hail and will at
least partially recover, but probably
the majority will have to suffer the
loss. In many different localities hail
stones nine inches in circumference or
about three inches in diameter are re-
ported. This storm will probably lend
stimulus to the business Of the hail
insurer.

Il Is undoubtedlv a fact that onr.

IoDust sons ana daughters, and did not
become weak, complaining invalids as .
consequence.
There are probably several reasons for
this. One is, that they lived more In the
open air, and another, and probably the
most influential Of all, is that they were
less prudish than the women Of to-day.
They were not ashamed to know something
oftheir own physical makeup. They were
not too nice to take care Of their health in
q wOmanly way. Women nowadays suf-
fer untold fortunes in silence, because Of
weakness and disease of the distinctly
feminine organism, rather than consult q
physician, or even talk upon the subject to
their own husbands. They imagine that
troubles Of this description can only be
cured by undergoing the disgusting exam
nations and local treatment insisted upon
by the average modern physician. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all dis
eases peculiar to women in the privacy Of
their own homes. II does away with the
necessity for examinations and local treat

over some trivial matter. About all
that could be learned was rom Walter
Fox, a meat cutter at KnOde's, who
said Myers had cursed and threatened
Boyd Friday night Myers with two
other tramps were arrested at Great
Bend aud brought back here, but their
evidence was so straight that they
were let 90 Tuesday morning, claiming
they had left town Thursday night Ut
8 or o'clock.
Monday Jack Burrell, whose name
was mentioned by the county attorney
in questioning Mrs POsthlewait, and
who Mrs. Posthlewait testified was not
acquainted with Boyd. was arrested
in Kingman and brought here. He
claimed he was In Kingmsn Thursday
night and that be could prove it, but
young man named Phillips, who
bakes for Campbell's eating house
across the street, testified that he was
quite sure he had seen Burrell with
another man standing near the First
National Bank about o'clock Satur-
day morning as he was coming down
to his work. Said Burrell had on diff
ferent bat from what he wore Monday.
Burrell once ran restaurant" in the
same place as Mrs. POsthlewait's or
near there, and also butcher shop
near there. 1t appears from what we
have been told that he and the Possible
waits have had a good many dealings.
Jim Huffman, who works for Ben
nett in bottlery, swOre that the little
boy, Clyde, came over there about a
month ago and said that his brother
Harry declared that if he ever had any
more trouble with Boyd he would do
him up, unless he was afraid of getting
himself into trouble.
Bruce Shadduck, who used to run the
Grand Central Hotel, swore that Mrs.
Posthlewait and Burrell had stayed a
week at his hotel as man and wife.
Mrs. Posthlewait in answering this,
swOre she slept on the floor. She also
said Boyd wanted to marry her. She
further testified that she was in no way
related to Burrell, but when be was
brought here he swOre they were cous-
ms. Both Burrell and Harry Posthle-
wait have been inmates Of the reform
atory.
The implement with which the deed
was done has not been discovered. The
only clue other than those mentioned
was a bloody paper found on the north
west corner of the same block, on
which it is thought the murderer might
have wiped his bloody hands.
The murder is as mysterious as it
was brutal. The murdered man was
generally a very quieS, peAceable man,
and we'll liked by those with whom he
had dealings or acquaintance Public
feeling ran so high that it is certain
that if the villain who peIpetrated the
murder could have been found and the
fact known, he would not have lived to
tell his story in court. When the fell
lows from Great Bend were brought in
an angry crowd gathered and there was
loud talking,

The time lock on the county treas
0lrer's safe ran down or at least stopped
about week ago, before it had un-

such locks are run by two clocks so that
IF one stops'the other will operate the
lock, but this was not that way.

This brings the Fort Smelling proposition
Squarely before the department. Senator Da-

take up the matter of a permanent enlarge

During the Fifty-frst congress bill was

area in the old and new reservations would

Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cure,

People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and iuconVeni-
ence Of that common disorder, piles,
will look with skepticism upon the
claims Of the makers of the new dis
cCVery for cure Of all forms of piles,
known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy
are such as to warrant the inVestiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS case In point
the following letter speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas, Of sub-station No.
3, Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio, writes
as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen:=I want you to use my
name If it will be of any use to you.
1 was so bad with the piles that I lost
work on that account Nothing did me
any good. 1 read in Cincinnati Of the
many cures Of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and l went to drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told
me that he had something else that he
thought was better but told him that
l wanted to try the Pyramid first
The first box helped me SO much that
I tried another and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. L am now completely cur
ed. Have not a trace of piles and 1
had suffered for four years with the
worst form Of protruding piles.
1 suffered death from piles, but 1
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. 1 have recon-
mended it to several Of my friends and
1 am thankful to be able to write you
what good the remedy has done for
me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind.
ana because 1t is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient Is cured in a sur
| prisingly short time with no inconVeni-
ence whatever
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists ct 90 cents per package, and
If there Is any constipation 1t is we'll
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
ton is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectuaIly remove the
costive condition. Price Of pills Is 25
cents per package.
