FOSTER STILL HERE.
The Ohio Burglar Spent Yesterday at the
City Hall-Property identified.

The Ohio Burglar Spent Yesterday at the
City Hall-Property identified.
John Foster, the Ohio burglar, ar
rested by the police Thursday night,
after an exciting chase through the
central portion of the city, was still in
the lookup at the City Hall, last
night, and win remain there until $50
a. m. to-day.
The officials were expected from Co
lumbus yesterday morning, and again
on the afternoon train, but they failed
to put in an appearance.
Last night, however, Detective Wolf
arrived from Columbus, and recognized
Foster as the right man. He said the
prisoner committed no less than four
burglaries there, last Sunday night,
using chloroform literally. In one ease
he applied the drug to a big mastiff
dog, and the animal slept nearly all
the next day. Foster appears to have
been a general terror at Columbus, and
is badly wanted there. Mr.. Wolf will
leave with the prisoner tomorrow,
and this will shut the Belmont county
authorities out.
Sheriff Foreman, of Belmont county,
came over yesterday afternoon, &C
companied by Judge j. w. Hollings-
worth, of st. C~lairsville. They eX-
amined the property taken from Fos-
ter, and identified the watches found
on the prisoner. Sheriff Foreman de-
sires to take Foster to Belmont county,
as the cases against him there are just
as strong as those at Columbus.
The police secured Fosters valise
yesterday, but the only thing in it,
aside from clothing, vas q solid silver
handle of a shaving brush.
1t is pretty certain that Foster had
a companion in crime, who slipped
out very promptly, and it is also
rumored that the two had planned a
robbery in this city, Thursday night,
and were only prevented by the arrest

Some Interesting Facts About the Big
Paper to Be Issued by the Kings Daugh-
ters.
The Easter Herald, which will be put
out by the Kings Daughters of the
city, will be issued Saturday, March
25th, and not on April LIST, as popular
report would have it. The circulation
will be $1,000, and will take in all the
surrounding towns in Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia. The date Of
issue is of advantage to advertisers to
catch the eye of Easter trade. The pa
per will be composed of forty-eight
pages, and will sell at ten cents a
copy. There will be but one issue of
the paper. Ladies of literary ability
all over the city are busIly engaged in
writing interesting articles. One of the
leading articles will be supplied by
Miss Margaret Dickson, of Philade1-
phia, daughter of the late Rev. Cyrus
Dickson, who for a number Of years
had charge of the Second Presbyterian
Church. Miss Dickson's subject will
be "Recollections of Days in Wheel
ing" 1t is to be hoped, too, that Mrs.
Rebecca Harding Davis, a former resi-
dent of this city, mother of Richard
Harding Davis, will supply an article
for the Herald. The circulation of the
Herald will be very large. Already
there are several hundred subscribers.

COMMON SENSE CURE.
PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES
PERMANENTLY By CURING
THE CAUSE.

Remarkable Remedy Which is Bringing
Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers.
Probably half the people who see
this article suffer from piles. 1t is
one of the commonest diseases and
n of the most obstinate. People
have it for years and just because
it is not Immediately fatal they
neglect it. Carelessness causes nc
end of suffering. Carelessness
about SO simple a thing as piles
has often caused death. Hemor-
rhages occur from no apparent
cause and loss of blood causes
death. Hemorrhages occur during
surgical treatment, often causing
death.
Piles are simple in the beginning
and easily cured. They al be
cured even in the worst stages,
without pain or loss of blood,
quickly, surely and completely.
There is only one remedy that will
do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the Inflammation imme-
diately, heals the irritated surface
and with continued treatment re-
duces the swelling and puts the
membranes into good, sound,
healthy condition. The cure is
thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and I'M
solicited testimonials we have
lately received:
Mrs. NJ. C. Hinkley, col Missis-
sippi street, Indianapolis, Ind,
says: Have been a sufferer from
the pain and annoyance of Piles
for fifteen years, the Pyramid
Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave
me immediate relief and in a short
time a complete cure.
Major Dean, of Columbus, Ohio,
says: l wish to add to the number
of certificates as to the benefits
derived from the Pyramid Pile
Cure. l suffered from piles for
forty years and from itching piles
for twenty years, and two boxes Of
the Pyramid Pile Cure has effectu-
ally cured me.
Most druggists sell Pyramid Pile
Cure or will get it for you if you
ask them to-. 1t is one dollar per
package and it is put up only by
the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich.

McLAIN DENTAL AND
SURGICAL DEPOT.

City Bank Building, 1890 Market Street.
The above establishment removed on
the first of the month to their spacious
and modern quarters in the City Bank
Building, where they have every con-
venience for handling their trade.
In the short time since the above en-
terprise was established, January,
1894, it has proven itself to be n long
needed in this vicinity and now ranks
as one of the best in the country.
In it's various departments a be
found a large and complete stock OF the
latest and most improved instruments
and supplies for the practice of dentis-
try and surgery, and supplies for the
hospitals and sick Dom
The Dental Department contains a
large and varied stock of artificial
teeth, instruments and supplies for the
operating room and laboratory.
The Surgical Department contains a
complete stock of instruments and sup
plies for physicians and hospitals on
which they have established a reputa-
ton of handling only the best grade
instruments at prices which compete
with New York houses.
A specially Of this establishment IS
truss fitting, to which Mr.. McLain
gives his personal attention, having
had over twenty-five years experience.
AS experience is the best teacher in this
line, the sufferer from hernia or rup-
ture will do well to consult Mr.. Nc
Lain in regard to the proper truss for
his case, as a truss improperly fitted,
or not suited to his case, does more
harm than no truss at all.
The truss fitting department Of this
establishment has grown to such pro-
portions that it has become necessary
to fit up an entirely separate and
spacious room for the accommodation
of its patrons. Abdominal Supporters,
Elastic Hosiery, and all appliances for
deformities and deficiencies are fitted
in this department.
Hospital and sick room supplies, and
every thing for the comfort Of the in
| valid, such as Rolling Chairs, Invalid
Beds, Air Beds, Cushions and Pillows,
are carried in stock in numerous styles.
A general invitation is extended TO
the public to visit this establishment,
which, to say the least Is quite inter
esting.
