Prospect of Medical Inquiry.

The president combines both the par
doning power and the reviewing power
in his own person. He may take into
consideration, and it is generally be-
lieved he win, Gen. Eagan's mental con-
dition at the time he committed the
offense which the court-martial has
found of so serious a character as to
Justify his dismissal from the service.
With this in view the president may
have good cause to initiate further pro-
ceedings, which would be in all proba-
bility to convene medical board to ex-
anime into his condition of health. On
their finding of a serious mental con-
dition the president could, and posi-
bly, will, order Gen. Eagan placed upon
the retired List as being physically in
capacitated for duty.

The gathering this year among the

has been nearly impossible the past sum-

it has been almost impossible to go
north. A petition has been dra WI up
and is being signed, asking for road to
be laid out along the west and north
sides OF the southeast quarter of sec
ton one, OF this township. The creek is
only few rods wide where the proposed
road will cross. This scheme OF putting
the road on the quarter lines, instead Of
the town line, which is in the lake, is said
to be the most practical way OF getting
a road by which we can go east and
north.

FOR STEALING CHICKENS.
Man and Wife Captured and Are Put
Through Novel Experience.

Laporte, Ind, Feb.27.-Edward Teeter
of Rolling Prairie created a sensation
this morning by driving a well known
resident and his wife through the town
at the point of a revolver. Last night
Teeter heard a commotion in his hen
house and going out to learn the cause
discovered a resident of Rolling Prairie
and his wife in the barnyard
The woman was dressed in male at
tire and the two were stealing chickens.
Teeter made them prisoners and locked
them in the house until morning, when
he gave them breakfast. He then tied
the chickens which the pair had at
tempted to steal around their necks and
ordered the man and woman to march
through the streets in this predica-
ment. The spectacle of the two march,
ing down the road with Teeter bringing
up the rear, revolver in hand, was a
strange one, more particularly SO on ac-
count of the woman wearing mans
clothes.
The guilty pair have heretofore held
a respectable position in Rolling Prairie
society.

A SENSATIONAL RUMOR.
That Somebody May Be Arrested For
Adams Poisoning.

New York, Feb 27.-The inquest into
the death of Mrs. Kate J. Adams was
resumed today. Just before court con-
Vened a sensational rumor was circu-
lated that an arrest would be made to-
day Col. Gardiner had a witness in
reserve, the rumor ran, who would be
called early in the proceedings. Col.
Gardiner was to examine this witness
himself and if the witness repeats I'M
der oath a statement made in private
to the district attorney, Col. Gardiner
would demand a warrant for the arrest
of one of the men who had been named
as a suspect in the case.
Col. Gardiner declined to confirm or
deny the correctness of the rumor. The
name of the suspect was also kept quiet
1t may be safely said that it is not Har-
~ S. Cornish. Assistant District At
torney Blumenthal said Cornish would
mot be wanted today. Owing to the alb
sence of DR.. Boille the hearing was ad-
5ourned until afternoon.

SOUGHT HIS TREASURE.
Hut Torn to Fragments in the Hope
of Finding Money.

Chi11icothe, Ohio, Feb. 27.-Richard H.
Butler, wealthy but eccentric man,
who for many years past had been liv-
ing the life of a hermit, died at his hut
on Brush Creek a few days ago, and
since then that entire section has been
stirred up by the search for the sup
posed hidden treasures. The demolf-
ton Of the hut in which he existed is
almost complete. All the "chinking'
has been removed from between the
logs, the chimney has been torn down,
the hearth taken up and the clay floor
dug up, but as yet no evidence of the
whereabouts of the treasure has been
discovered.
Butler is supposed to have died with
out relatives, and but little is known
OF his past life. He settled in a rude
log hut on the banks of Brush Creek,
near Carmel, many years ago, and grad
ually purchased the land about him I'M
til at the time of his death he was the
owner OF nearly 1000 acres. He cut
himself off almost entirely from inter
course with his fellow creatures, speak
ing only when he had business to trans
act, and never wasting a word. He
wore one suit of clothes formany years,
and permitted his hair and beard to
grow long. He never received a letter
and never wrote one, and never received
a visitor or referred in any way to his
past life.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of SleepIessness That Car
Be Overcome

Be Overcome
Mr.. VIM. Handschu of 18th st. Cotton
Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself
as follows regarding the new remedy
for that common and obstinate disease,
piles: Il take pleasure in stating that
I was so afflicted with piles that for
three months I got no regular sleep; I
became completely Frustrated, the doc
tors did me no good; my brother told
me OF the new remedy for piles, the
Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased of my
druggist three so cent boxes and they
completely cured me. I am once more
at work and but for this excellent rem
edy I would be on my back. I take
great pleasure in writing this letter be-
cause so many people are sufferers from
this trouble who like myself did not
know where to look for a permanent,
safe, reliable cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure for the past three years has dem
onstrated to the medical profession as
wen as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that it is the safest and most
effectual pile cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or poisons
of any kind, painless and convenient to
handle. and being sold by druggists
at SOC and $1.00 per box, is within the
reach of every sufferer
Very often two or three boxes have
made complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedies
for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles, and it is a
common practice to use ointmentS,
salves and similar preparations contain
ing dangerous poisons to remove the
trouble. The Pyramid has superseded
all of these Intellectual remedies and no
one suffering with any rectal trouble
will make any mistake in giving the
Pyramid trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich, for a valuable book on
piles, describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure as it is the best known
and most popular remedy for piles and
if you ask him he can doubtless refer
you to many people in your own vicinity
who have been cured completely by it.
