HUMMER BOUND OVER.
He Waived a Preliminary Examina-
ton Today.

This morning in Justice McCHntocks
court VIII Q. Hummer waived the pre-
hminary examination and was bound
over till the next term of the district
court to stand trial for shooting Lucin-
da Hummer on Sunday, August Z, with
intent to kill.
Since the shooting Lucinda Hummer
has been in the Salvation Army hos
pital and not till within a few days of
the trial have the doctors attending her
been confident of her recovery. Ever
since Hummer was arrested he and his
attorneys have tried to communicate
with Lucinda Hummer at the hospital
in person and by letter but a strict
watch has been kept by the hospital au-
thorities and no one has been allowed
to see her and all letters addressed to
her have been intercepted. The attend
ing physician, DR.. Agnes Mckee Wal
lace, said that in her precarious cOndi-
ton anything like excitement might
bring on serious results.
This morning Lawyer JamisOn de-
manded that Lucinda Hummer appear
as a witness but as the physicians said
she was una bic to do so Justice McClin-
took announced that she could not do
as she wished about appearing and he
would not order her to appear.

THE SURGEONS KNIFE.
ONCE BELIEVED TO BE THE
ONLY CURE FOR PILES AND
RECTAL DISEASES.
A Better Way Now Discovered Which
Cures Every Form of Piles
Without Pain or Incon-
Venience.

Many people suffer the pain, annoy
ance and other serious reuSltS from
piles, for years, and after trying the
many lotions, salves, Ointments and
many so called cures without cure or
relief, give up the hope of a final cure,
rather than submit to the intense pain
and danger to life which a surgical OPP
GRAFTON involves.
Happily all this suffering is no longer
necessary since the discovery of the
Pyramid Pile Cure; a remedy which is
approved by the medical profession, as
being absolutely safe free from any
trace of Opiates, narcotic or mineral
pOisOns and which may be depended
upon as a sure cure (nOt merely relie0
in any form of piles, whether itching,
blind, bleeding or prOtruding. Some of
the hundreds of cures recently made
are little short of marvellous, as a per-
uSa1 of the following will demonstrate.
Major Dean of Columbus, Ohio, says:
I wish to add to the number of certif-
tcates as to the benefit derived from the
Pyramid Pile Cure. I suffered from
piles for forty years and from itching
piles for twenty years and two boxes of
the Pyramid Pile Cure has effectually
cured me.
DR.. ]. W. NIeagan. LeonardvilIe, kan
writes: I have used a box of Pyramid
Pile Cure and received more benefit and
relief than from any other remedy I
had used in the past twenty years.
James Jamerson, Dubuque Iowa,
says: I suffered from piles for six
years; have just used the Pyramid Pile
Cure and am a well man.
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkly, COL Mississippi
street, Indianapolis. Ind, says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain and an
noyance of piles for fifteen years, the
Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills
gave me immediate relief and in a
short time a complete cure
The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found
at druggists at so cents and 81 90 per
package. A book on cause and cure of
piles will be sent by mail by addressing

VAN HASsEL'S STORY.
Married in Spite of His Screams, Sure
Enough.


In his answer filed in the Lyon county
district court, John c. Van Hassel, the
man who eloped with Mrs. Frank Whit
eker of this city and was married to
her by a justice of the peace in Kansas
City last December, tells his side of the
story Frank Whiteker, husband of the
woman who is guilty of bigamy, three
weeks ago filed suit for damages
against Van Hassel in that court, ask
ing 1000 damages for the alienation Of
his wife's affections for a period OF sew
eral months.
Van Hassel states that he was intro
duced to Mrs. Whiteker at Topeka, Oc-
tOber 1, 1897, by Mrs. Edwards, of Rock
Creek, who was a mutual friend, and
was led to believe that Mrs. Whiteker
was a widow; that after the Fall FeS-
tival was over he returned to his home
in this country, and about three weeks
after he was surprised by receiving a
letter from Mrs. Whiteker, in which
she asked him to correspond with her;
that he accepted, and that, after anoth-
er three weeks has elapsed, in response
to an invitation from her he visited her
in Topeka.
At this time, according to his sworn
statement, Mrs. Whiteker told him a
terrible tale of matrimonial unhappi-
ness; that she had been married twice,
and that both of her huS Stands had nor
ribIy abused her. She asserted that she
had obtained divorces from both, and
was looking for some good, honest man
who would live and take care of her.
Van HaSseI says he was touched by her
plea and consented to marry her. He
also asserts that she set the date for
the wedding for one week before
Christmas, and that upon that date he
was induced to go to Kansas City with
her, when they were married, she stat
ing at the time that she was a single
woman.
He has a number of her letters, which
he proposes to use as testimony in the

GOOD ADVICE TO BOYS.

You are learning a trade. That is a
good thing to have. 1t Is better than
gold. Brings always premium. But
to bring premium, the trade must be
perfect-no silver plated affair. When
you go to learn a trade, do so with de-
termination TO win. Make up you mind
what You will be, and be it. Determine
in your own mind to be good work.
man. Have pluck and patience. Look
out for the interest of your employer
thus you will learn to look out for your
own. Do not wait to be told everything.
Remember. Act as though you wish to
learn, If you have an errand to do,
start off like boy with some life. Look
about you. See how the best workman
in the shop does, and copy after him.
Learn to do things well. Whatever is
worth doing at all is worth doing well.
Never slight your work. Every job you
do is sign. Ifyou have done one in ten
minutes, see if you cannot do the next
in nine. Too many boys spoil life
time by not having patience. They
work at trade until they see about one
half OF it's mysteries and then strike for
higher wages Act as if your own interest
and your employers were the same
Good mechanics are the props of society.
They are those who stick TO their trades
until they learn them. People always
speak well of boy who minds his own
business, who is willing to work and
who seems disposed to be somebody in
time. Learn the whole of your trade.
Exchange.
