Harper's Weekly, which is journal

cidedly unique career. a distinguishing
feature Of which has been its facility for
getting on the un-American side Of every
national question that has arisen since
the abolition Of slavery. 1t is frequently
confronted with the alternative of chang
ing its policy, as the price of retaining
its patronage, and has but recently un-
dergone that sort of metamorphosis. It
has dismissed Carl Schurz, and now con-
cedes that the war Is not so unholy as
1t had supposed. What will become Of
Schurz Is not so important. He was ex-
PEELED from Germany for disloyalty. &C.
cupied purchased seat in the United
States senate. but was never loyal te
America or American institutions, and
there doesn't appear to be any place left
for him, unless it be within the temple
OF the Universal Peace Union.

The announcement that D. K. Trask has
given up his aspirations for the nomination
of member of the assembly from the Sew
enty-third district is not true. Mr.. Trask
Is still a candidate. There is a movement
on foot, however, to pull Trask down by
giving him the nomination for state sena-
tor, thus giving William Mead clear
track for denomination.

test the wisdom Of such fundamental Leg
islation in which large majority Of Dem
ocrats believe.
If there Is any one who can make head
or tail of the Republican political situation
in this state he has not yet been found.
Take the governorship, for instance. No
one seems to. know or, even make a guess
as to whether the nominee will come from
the north or the south, and the same may
be said of the United States senatorship.
The latest advices from the north are to
the effect that that part Of the state does
not want the governorship, but that the
good people up there are dead stuck on the
United States senatorship. and they pur-
pose to have this and the state ticket from
acknowledgements down in exchange
with the southern part of the state for the
head of the ticket. In this arrangement
Henry T. Gage is billed for first place, and
1t is said that his friends in the northern
part of the state are ready to nominate Mr..
Gage, If he will accept it., In fact, they
propose to have Mr. Gage anyway, whether
he wants it or not This condition of affairs
must be pleasant to Mr.. Gage, and no doubt
he will sacrifice his many private affairs
and assume a public role which his mod
esty will not permit him, under the cir
cumstances, to decline. State Senator Bull

A PICTURE IN EVIDENCE
EXHIBITED TO THE COURT IN DE-
TENSE OF HUBERT sICKINGER.
Trial of the Man Who EIoped with
Bertha SchOfhauser-NeSvsO of the
County Judiciaries.

Hubert Sickinger. the Mount Jackson
truck gardener, who eloped to ST. Louis

the daughter of his neighbor, was put on

inally assault the girl Her father and one
or two other witnesses for the State are
unable to speak English and German in
terpreter was necessary in the case yester-
day. Sickinger's defense is that the girl is
older than her parents claim, and that she
persuaded him to take her away with him.
The pair fled from this city on the night
of July last. remaining away from home
about three weeks. A short time prior to
the elopement Sickinger's house had burned
and the Schafhausers had invited him and
his wife to live with them until they could
rebuild. Early in the morning of July
Sickinger and Bertha Schafhauser started
to this city to market. Sickinger had re-
covered about $500 insurance on his property
and had the money with him. Neither the
parents of the girl nor Mrs Sickinger saw
the pair until the girl returned home three
weeks later and Sickinger was brought back
a prisoner. The girl related to her parents
a story of abuse, and the facts were laid
before the grand jury.
In her testimony the girl charged that
Sickinger tried to assault her on the way
to the city the day of their elopement. He
told her. she claimed that he did not in
tend to return to his wife, as his domestic
life was unhappy. He declared his inten-
ton of going away from the city, and as
serted his determination of taking her with
him. threatening to kill her if she refused
to go. She consented to accompany him
and they left the city that night The tes-
tirnony showed that in ST. Louis Sicklneer

ing her away from her home as he had she
would cast herself in the Mississippi river.
Sickinger remained with her several days
longer and finally persuaded her to return
home.
Sickinger denies that he attempted to
harm the girl. He says she was very
anxious to accompany him when he told her
he was going away, and, in fact, insisted
that she be allowed to CO. In order 10

FOUR BOXES DID 1T
Remarkable Success OF O New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months or
years from the pains and inconvenience of
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skepticism upon the claims of the makers
of the new discovery for cure of all forms of
piles, known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such as
to warrant the investigation of any sufferer.
AS a case in point the following letter
speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas. of substation No. 8.
Hosack avenue, Columbus. o., writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Company:
Gentlemen-I want you to use my name
if it will be of any use to you. / was so bad
with the piles that lost work on that ac-
count. Nothing did me any good. I read
in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles by
the Pyramid Pile Cure, and 1 went to a
drug store and asked for it, The drug clerk
told me that he had something else that he
thought was better, but I told him that I
wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
tried another, and then to complete the cure
used two more boxes, making four in all. 1
am now completely cured. Have not trace
of piles, and 1 had suffered for four years
with the worst form of protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but I have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. have recommended it to sew
eral of my friends, and / 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, and because
it lis so safe and pleasant to use, being pain
less and applied at night. The patient is
cured in a surprisingly short time, with no
Inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents per package. and If there is
any constipation it is well to use the Pyra-
mid Pills at the same time with the Pile
Cure. as constipation is very often the cause
of piles, and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price of pills is % cents
per package.

cure of piles; sent by mail free:

THE APPELLATE CASE.
1t Reaches Supreme COurt-HOpe OF
the Democrats.

1t Reaches Supreme Court-HOpe of
the Democrats.
The appeal case of the Democratic nomi-
nees for the alleged vacancies on the Appel
late bench was filed yesterday wl,h the
clerk of the Supreme Court for trial. The
title of the case is 1.-THE State of Indiana
on the relation of Edwin Taylor ct al. (the
Democratic nominees) VS.. James A. Mount
ct al. (the Board of Election Commission
ers.) JAS soon as the case was formally filed
the attorneys Immediately withdrew it from
the files. Briefs reciting the facts in the
case from the standpoint of the appellants
were submitted, with a petition asking for
an advancement of the case to trial, so
that a decision can be rendered in time for
the elections this year.
Certain prominent officials interested in
the case say that there is no doubt but
what the law is plainly against the appel
lantS, who in their minds are working on
a forlorn hope of having it sent before
Judges Hackney, McCabe and Howard, who
are now Democratic candidates for re-elec-
ton to the Supreme bench, in the hope that
they can be bulldozed into a favorable de-
cision. 1t is thought that even this meas
ure will fail, there is conviction that
most of these men are too courageous to
allow themselves to be whipped into line
after this fashion. 1t is thought by the at
torney general that the case will be among
the first to be tried before the Supreme
Court this session.

DIFFERS IN DOCTRINE.
Rev. Il. r. Walker Pleads to Stay in
Presbyterian Church.

The indianapolis Presbytery held its last
session yesterday afternoon at the Sixth
Presbyterian Church. The greater part of
the time was taken up with the considera-
ton of the stand taken by the Rev. +. f.
Walker. an evangelist. He is a Presby-
terrain minister but adheres to belief in the
holiness doctrine" This has been dis
carded by HIS church. He. however is
strongly convinced of the truth of the doc
trine and rather than give it up will with
draw from the church. Once before he has
been considered by a presbytery meeting
in Bloomington, Ill.--where, after talk the
assembly voted to allow him to remaia
Yesterday he brought tears TO many eyes
IN his argument to be allowed to stay in his
church. He said that he loved the church.
but that he felt that he must stand by the
dictates of his own conscience. He asked to
be allowed 10 remain, and a decision in the
matter was deferred until the next meet
Ing which will be held in Greenwood next
spring.
On account of his connection with the
army, Chaplain Weaver, OF the One-hun-
dred-hfty-ninth Regiment, was released
from his congregation at his own request
It was decided TO defer placing a church at
1rylngton, IL being the opinion OF the COM
mittee that IL could be established later to
much better advantage. Rev. Alexander
UrQuart was assigned as pastor of the East
sVaahingeon-sfreet Presbyterian Church and
q beQuest OF 81 600 from j. b. Pitzer, OF
louisville, was accepted.

PLAYING EXHIBITION GAMES.

Hoosier Team Will Disband Early
Next Week.
The indianapolis and Kansas City teams
have gone on transforming tour. They
played at Topeka, Kan, yesterday, and will
to-day give the citizens of Lawrence a
chance to see how the national game should
be played. Tomorrow, Saturday and Sum-
day the two teams will play in Kansas
City, after which it is supposed they will
disband and the players scatter for their
homes. The receipts of these exhibition
games are to be divided equally among the
players. Manager Allen telegraphed Pres
ident Colt yesterday asking him to secure
Mr.. Brush's permission to have Mcfarland
remain with them for the Sunday games.
Scott and Mcfarland are going down to
Cincinnati as soon as they come back here
to help the Reds cut in the games beginning
there next week. The players will all re-
turn here in order to secure their money,
which is awaiting them at headquarters.
The indianapolis club cleaned up a little
over $500 at Kansas City. The actual at
tendance out there for the three games
was: Sunday. 10,Ge0; Monday. $500: Tues
day, $780, 1t has been profitable year for
