Neodesha, Sept. 24.-Yesterday morn
ing John Singleton, senior and Junior,
father and son who reside on the MOul-
ton farm north of town hitched up and
started to haul some ties to burn. The
mother went over to Hugh Monroe'S
for a brief visit. Shortly after the Wo-
men noticed two men driving past going
north. In about an hour they noticed
the same team returning back past the
house without any drivers. The team
was stopped by Philip Bertsch and it
was noticed that it was hitched to Sin
gletOns wagon. Mr.. Monroe. hurried
up the road and found Mr.. Singleton
and his son lying by the roadside near
the railroad where they had fallen out
of the wagon, unconscious and evident
" under the influence Of a drug, or
deeply intoxicated.
Mr.. Singleton's little boy had come
back to the house and got a purse con-
tanning So, and a shotgun some time be-
fore and said the father was trading
horses. The SingIetOns were carried to
the house and DR.. Allen called. The
men who did the trading were after
wards seen by Walter MOultOn driving
SingletOn's team north at a rapid rate.
Mrs. Singleton came to town this after
noon and sWOre out a warrant for the
parties and as Sheriff Bray happened
to be in town he and Deputy Sheriff
Shurtliff started after them. The Sim
gletOnS were unconscious for fOrty-eight
hours, and cannot describe their aSsail-
ants, who also stole the team.

WHAT BRYAN WANTS.
Asks Discharge for Those of His Men
Who Desire It.

Washington, Sept. A-ColoneI Bryan of
comb and Representative Stark were
again at the war department yesterday
Bryan submitted a few more papers re-
questing the discharge of members of his

that all the applications for discharge sub
mitted by Colonel Bryan yesterday and

mination will be the recommendation of

list is not confined to sick men. There

Governor Holcomb added that the re-
quest was made on behalf of the enlisted
men only, and not in the interest of the
officers.

they desire to get out of the service he
said In this connection the governor
stated that no representations had been

whether the colonel would seek to resign

Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.


People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and incOnveni-
ence of that common disorder, piles,
will look with Skepticism upon the
claims of the makers of the new dis
covery 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.

Fight Promoters Want All Points
Settled at Once.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 24.-M. B. Gray,
the New Yorker interested in the pic
ture end of the Hawthorne Athletic
club, arrived in town yesterday and
with John Fisher, a Buffalo lawyer,
paid a visit to District Attorney Kene-
feck. The exact object of their visit
was not disclosed, but it was stated
afterwards that they had asked the
district attorney to take a hand in the
settlement of the matter by taking
COrbett and Mccoy before the courts
and having a decision rendered as to
the legality of the Horton law. In con-
nectiOn with this report came state
ment that the district attorney had in
structed the sheriff to avoid the arrest
of the boxers the other nightFto defeat
the attempt to get the case before the
courts and would not consent to deviate
from his course in the case of the
larger fight, and would have nothing
to do with the proposed proceedings.
President David Nugent told a reporter
today that the whole business talked
over at the consultation with the dis
trict attorney had not been made public
and would not be.

How Sergeant Rhodes Wound Was
Treated by a Surgeon.

Wichita, Sept 24.-In company with
Mrs. Rem Moore of Oklahoma, Mrs. Hol-
lister and Miss Hollister and Sergeant
Rhodes of the Oklahoma rough riders,
were in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Rhodes is a typical American SOL
der, every inch a man, every inch a
fighter. He is as brown as a berry,
but looks as strong as an OK, notwith-
standing he was wounded twice at San
tiagO and has since suffered with ma
laria.
He is as full of war stories as Othello,
and the dangers he has passed are not
surpassed by anybody else in the ser
vice. One of his wounds was caused
by a, piece of shell, which cut off part
of his hair, did not break the skin, but
injured the skull. He was unconscious
twenty-four hours. The skull was
rather indented than fractured. A
surgeon put a suction cup over the dent
pumping the air out of it and the skull
came back in place.

THE RIeHT OF PErrrroN.

Some good Kansas citizens seem dis
posed to make a fuss because, as they
allege, the petition for the placing OF
the Socialist ticket on the ballot, was
signed by many Republicans. These
assumption that there are no Social
lists outside Of the organization which
named the ticket referred to.
A little investigation must convince
these gentlemen that their position is
not well taken. Every political party
in the state contains a large number of
voters who are to a considerable ex-
tent socialists. They could probably
be found even in the ranks of these OBJ
jectors.
A test Of the prevalence of sOcialistic
ideas was presented in this. city re-
Gently when a petition was circulated
asking the city council to call an cleo
tion for the purpose of voting bonds to
buy or build municipal waterworks.
Is there any good reason to suppose
that the men who signed that petition
viii not vote for the proposition when
an opportunity is offered? May not the
intentions of the signers of the Socialist
party petition be equally as honest?
From a moral standpoint it might be
considered improper to petition for a
ticket with no intention of supporting
IT, and an eastern court has recently
decided that such conduct is illegal but
who can pass judgment on the sinceri-
~ of the citizen?
The believers in the socialistic idea
are not all going about wearing labels.
