A Negro Soldier Arrested for Dis

Armed Detachment of the Regi-

asked him to put the weapon away.
According to the story Of the police

lenged the policeman to compel hint.
The policeman drew his weapon, but
tn weapon missed fire. Meanwhile
the soldier blazed away. He was
overpowered before any one was hurt
During the struggle to overcome the
negro several white men struck him
in the face. Williams was locked up
at the city hadd. The police say Col.
Daggett had issued an order forbid
ding the troops to carry side arms.
The streets were well filled at the
time, and it was fortunate that no one
was killed. ~ -
The escaoade has raised feeling to
a high pitch and further trouble is
feared. Twenty minutes after Williams
arrest twenty-five soldiers Of the
Twenty fifth infantry, fully armed with
rifles and fixed bayonets, surrounded
the house Of Sheriff Knight and de-
manded that he release the prisoner.
The sheriff was alone and i'll. The
negro troops gave him five minutes to
comply with their demand and he de-

Col. Daggett, when the latter feature
of the affair was brought to his at
tention, said he would investigate 1t
thoroughly. and If the report were true,
would discipline every man severely.

A Medical Discovery That EfectuaHy
Cures Piles in Every Form.
For many years physicians have expert
mented In vain seeking remedy which

GRAFTON. Many remedies were found to give
temporary relief, but none could be de-
cure.
Within a recent period, however, a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure, has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cases and
with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is to instantly remove the pain and irritation
generally present and from that time on the
cure rapidly progresses, and before the pa
tient is hardly aware Of it he is entirely
cured. The remedy seems to act directly on
the nerves and blood vessels Of the parts af-
fected, as 1t comes into direct contact with
them and sets up healthy action, which,
IN perfectly natural way, brings the parts to
their normal condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or inconvenience to the sufferer and is
Justly considered one of the most meritorious
discoveries of modern medicine.
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with which
humanity is afflicted. If neglected it fire.

timely use of this simple but effective remedy
no one need suffer single day from any
form Of piles unless they want to. .,
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly harm
less, containing no mineral poisons, and is
also very reasonable in price. It is sold in
drug stores everywhere at 80 cents per pack
age The manufacturers of the remedy are
the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich,
who have placed this excellent preparation
before the public only after giving 1t thorough
and repeated tests In the hands Of reputable
physicians. The results in hundreds of cases
have convinced us that it will not disappont

The City VIII Not Suffer, but the
BOndsmen May.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 20
Augustus G. Widber, tres surer Of the
city Of San Francisco, Is believed to
have embezzled 100000 of the munich
pal funds.
The suspicion Of other civic officials
that something was amiss in the treas
ury department was aroused last night;
and today Mayor Phelan and Auditor
Broderick began an investigation,
which resulted in some startling dis
coveries.
The sealed bags Of gold in the city
treasurer's vault had been surrepti7
to break the seals, but the string had
silver inserted to leave the weight of
the bags unchanged. Then the coin
sacks had been fastened, and the sew
cred ends Of the string concealed in
the natural folds of the canvas bags.
A search was made for Treasurer
Widber. but he could not be found in
the city. The police officials followed
several unsuccessful clews, but the de-
faulting officer was finally discovered
this evening at his ranch near Walnut
creek, In Contra Costa county, fifty
miles from San Francisco.
He was arrested by. q constable to-
hight, the officer starting at once for
this city with his prisoner.

KEY WEST, April 20.LThe Cruiser Gin
cnnati is missing from the squadron to-
night With the Marblehead she went on
patrol duty last night. Hitherto this duty
has taken the acting ships eight or ten miles
out in the waters of the gulf, and they have
usually returned early next morning. Last
night for the first time two cruisers were
assigned, instead Of one.
This morning the Marblehead returned as
usual, but not the Cincinnati, which had not
been sighted up to nightfall. Inquiry devel-
oped the fact that message was signalled to
her from the flagship early this morning. It's
import has not been ascertained on shore,
but the answer was waved back, ''Still nine
miles out VIII follow ORDERS"
What these orders were are known
only to the commanding officers of the fleet
and the Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati is most likely further out to
gain greater command Of the entrance to
these waters from the Cuban SIDE This was
the first occasion when the guard was kept
on duty all night and the following day.
1t has been learned that the cable between
mere and Havana was cut about q mile south
OF Fort Taylor, and evidently by some one
familiar with cable work. The strand, which
