A BAD ENGINE
Judgment Given Against Gregory
Perkins as Assignee

C. Barnesberger, who was one of the
jurors in Judge Yorks department yes
terday, has a better opinion of pune
tuality as a virtue than he had. The
case of Gregory Perkins, assignee of the
Irrigation, Machinery and Manufacture
ing company against C. Gassen was on
trial, and upon court reconvening Mr..
Barnesberger was twenty minutes late
Judge York had a few remarks to make
and gave point to them by inflicting a
fine of 81 upon the unlucky juror
The suit was one to recover $172.40, bal
ance due on an account of machinery.
A gas engine had been supplied to the
defendant by the Machinery company
which proved to be of no practical USE
and thereupon the company agreed to
furnish another one. 1t was forwarded
from San Francisco, but while in tran
sit the company became insolvent, and
Gassen didn't get the engine, and re-
fused to pay the balance due on the old
one. The case was first heard in the
justice court and appealed, and late
yesterday Judge York gave judgment
for the defendant.

in the Filkins Case

Is there any direct connection between
turkeys and divorce? Judging merely
from the facts in the case that will come
up for trial in a day or two wherein c.
w. Holden is plaintiff and w. M. Stew
ems defendant 1t would appear as if there
Is.
1t appears that Mrs. Stevens some lit
tie time ago began a suit for divorce
against her husband for cruelty and
adultery, who raises hogs, chickens, etc.,
on a small plan out at Santa Fe ave-
nue.. He of course responded as in such
cases made and provided" and both
parties enjoined one another from dis
posing of any property. While this
state of matrimonial infelicity was in
course of incubation, Mr. Stevens tenn
per was ruff1ed by the behavior of c.
w. Holden, whose place adjoined his
own. Mrs. Stevens had left the home
but her husband learned that Holden
was to be one of her witnesses in her
suit and he became wrathy. AS oppor-
tunity offered he gathered in seven fat
and succulent looking turkeys from
Holden's domain and upon being re-
monstrated with claimed that his wife
had sold them to Holden without any
authority and in defiance Of the injunc-
ton.
The matter didn't appear to Holden in
just that way, and he brought suit
against Stevens for 81 and recovered
Judgment for that amount in the San
Antonio township court. But Stevens Is
combative if he is anything and took
an appeal which will be heard in the
superior court tomorrow. Meantime
those seven turkeys are enhancing in
value all the time by attorneys fees and
cost bills.

Judge Smith considered 1t was per-
fectly proper practice to grant an ex-
tension of time to the district attorneys
office, but Mr.. Allender interposed to
say that he had presented the papers
to Justice Morrison on December 23d
and had repeatedly asked the justice for
a settlement of the matter. On the last
occasion he had been met with the re-
mark: what will you do if 1 will not
give you your bill of EXCEPTIONS"
The court intimated that it is the duty
of any judge to settle bill of exceptions
within reasonable time, but the case in
point being under consideration until
January 14th, the order made in the case

PATRIOTISM WEAK.
Only 40 Men Enlist in the Com
pany of Volunteers at
AtchisOn.

Major H. c. Lindsey advises all indie
pendent military companies in this city,
and at other points as well, to retain
their organization, and states that in
all probability most of the companies
will have the opportunity of enlisting,
practically intact.
Major Lindsey was named as the
sixth recruiting officer by Governor
Leedy and sent to Atchison yesterday,
but out of the entire population of
AtchisOn county but 40 men enlisted.
The recruiting station is open for re-
cruitS from Doniphan county today
but Major Lindsey says he questioned
several DOniphan county men yesterday
and found that but few from that coun-
ty intended coming to Atchison to en-
list. He is of the opinion that a full
company will not be recruited at Atch-
ison.
This experience leads him to believe
that many of the companies will not
be recruited to their full strength at
the different stations, and that there
will be plenty of opportunity for the
members of the Independent companies
to go as volunteers. He believes that
the Topeka men will have the best
chance, as the companies will probably
be brought into Topeka at the strength
they are recruited at the various sta
lions and filled up after arrival here.

The father is a well known, and
prominent farmer of Usage county. Up
to a few days ago he and his two
daughters lived happily together on
their home place which is a short dis
lance out of Usage City. The two girls
took care of the house, the mother be-

apparently without cause, both the
girls left home. The father was at
loss to know where his daughters were
and was unable to learn anything of
them. fLl l
The two girls came to Topeka and
the older one engaged to work in

man. The latter communicated the
fact to Police Matron Thorpe. She
made an investigation and found the
facts as related above. The younger

her misfortune greatly. The older girl
had planned to support them both by

COMMON DISEASES.
Piles, Fistula and Inflammatory Con-
ditions of the Rectum.

The troubles so annoying and danger
Gus to health are among the common
est with which humanity is afflicted.
We are, therefore, pleased to an
nounce that modern research in medi-
cal science has at last produced a GER
tain cure for them and as usual with
all great and meritoriOus inventions, is
simple and the only wonder is that
such remedy was not discovered and
used years before.
The remedy we refer to is known as
the Pyramid Pile Cure. 1t is not an
ointment nor a salve, liquid nor inter
nal remedy, but is applied directly to
the seat Of the disease and produces a
cure in surprisingly short space of
time.
For itching piles a few applications
produces a complete cure, while for
bleeding, protruding and all other forms
of rectal diseases it's use will result in
a permanent cure even in cases where
an operation has failed.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is painless to
use and relieves all pain at once All
druggists keep it or will get it for you
1t is prepared by Nthe Pyramid Drug
Co. of Marshall, Mich, who will send
you full particulars of the cause and
cure of piles, also testimonials from
every section of the country or if your
druggist has the remedy on hand you
will find the treatise on piles and testi-
monials in each package of the remedy.
A trial Will convince you that the
Pyramid Pile Cure is a specific for eve
Ty form of rectal disease and it is guar
anteed to contain no mineral poiSOnS
nor injurious ingredients so often re-
sorted to in treating piles. Sold by
druggists at 30 cents.
