TRIAL OF A PICKPOCKET.
He Tried to Bob a. " Linden at
Twentieth Kansas Reception.

An echo of the Twentieth Kansas re-
ception is occupying the boards in the
district court today. 1t is the trial
of Fred Corners, who is charged with
attempting to pick the pocket of A. v.
Lindell in the corridor of the state
house on the night of the reception.
COnnOrs is a pleasant appearing
young man and ne looks more like
leading member of the Y. NJ. c. A.
than he does like a pickpOcket. He is
We'll dressed, wears a high collar and
fashionable cuffs, and his long hair was
nicely combed as he appeared for trial
today. He is defended by Otis Hun
gate and H. w. Page.
Mr.. LindeI is bond clerk in the office
of State superintendent Nelson. On the
witness stand today he told how lady
came into the office of the Superintend-
ent on the night of the Twentieth recep-
ton, when the corridors were crowded,
and wanted assistance to get through
the crowd to the treasurer's office. Mr.
Lindell offered to assist her, and when
he had gone nearly through the rO
tunda to the west corridor he testified
that he felt a hand reach around his
left side, feel of his pants pocket, and
then go into the pocket for his money.
He grabbed the hand and it was that
of COnnOrS who was Immediately be-
hind him. J. D. Nelson, brother of
superintendent Nelson, was standing
near, and Mr. Lindell turned the lady
over to him, while he summoned an
officer. In the meantime he had re-
leased his hold in Connors. O. W.
SIeHy "a SDecla1 pOlceInan VINO was on
duty in the rotunda. was called and
ConnOrs was taken to the police sta
ton
In the argument that followed catch
ing hold of Connors' wrist, Mr.. Lindell
claims that Connors remarked:
You might as well let me go-you
didn't lose anything
Both Mr.. Steffy and Mr.. LindelI cor
roborated Mr.. LfndelTs testimony, and
Mr.. Steffy said that when Connors was
arrested he remarked, I'm not the
man.
Er. Connors was the only witness for
the defense. Ho told the jury that he
was 20 years old: that his home is in
Kansas City at 1915 East Eighteenth
street, where he lives with his mother;
that he worked in Rogers restaurant
until about two months before his ar
rest
Mr.. Connors said that he came to To
peka at the time of the reception with
a man named Lewis to sell badges, but
that they could not get d license. His
version of the affair in the rotunda was
that he was standing Immediately be
hind Mr.. Lindell in the crowd when Mr.
Linden said to him, I've got you spot
ted After repeating the remark to
him several times, he says he walked
away a short distance, and Mr.. Lindell
brought an officer 90 arrest him.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 25.-The fin
est November weather this morning
greeted the football enthusiasts who
have come here to witness the contest
between Yale and Princeton. 1t was

The hotels and shops throughout the
city were gaily decorated, While private
residences displayed the Yale colors
lavishly. The students were chafing
under the unusual action of the faculty
in holding recitatiOnS as usual until

came to New Haven on special train
from New York reaching this city
shortly after u o'clock. They dressed
on their train and took carriages
through unfrequented streets for Yale
field.
The first special train rolled in from
New York at 11:10 and was followed
rapidly by others until 1 p. M.
AS the hour approached for the be-
ginning of the game light wind
sprang up out of the northwest At
noon the sky was overcast but there
appeared to be no indications of

ANTI LELAND.
Capt. Coney Tries to Induce Senate,
Baker to Join Organization.


The following is from the Leaven-
worth Times:
Patrick Coney, the well known Irish
warrior and Republican politician OF
Topeka, was in LeavenWOrth yesterday
to talk with Senator Baker.
Colonel Coney openly announces that
his present mission upon earth is to
down Cy Leland as boss of the Repub-
Hcan machine. In this work COney will
have the good wishes of nine out Of
every ten members of the Republican
party of Kansas.
Colonel Coney says the opposition to
Leland is rapidly being organized and
that already 5000 loyal Kansas Repubh-
cans have enrolled themselves and
agreed to fight bossism in Kansas to
the death.
1T is understood that one of the OBJ
jects of the visit of the Topeka states
man to Leavenworth was to urge Sen
atOr Baker to declare himself as op
posed to Lelandism. COney offered
Baker the support of the Topeka Cap
ital and Major Hudson and most of
Shawnee county, if the senator would
agree to fight Leland and support
Charley Curtis.
"Inasmuch as Senator Baker has
some knitting of his own to attend to
just at this time and is looking for the
support of Repu blicans everywhere. it
is not likely he will take sides in any
factional contests. Not now.
Therefore it is not believed Colonel
Coney met with much encourag cement
from Senator Baker.
when confronted with the statement
that Burtons Shawnee county friends
had already fixed that county for J.
Ralph, Colonel COney Waxed indignant.
If Baker will come with US fellows
and support Charley Curtis, Burton
won't get a smell in Shawnee county
said Colonel Coney.
- 'Burton's friends there are limited
to Dave Nulvane, George Findlay and
George Case, and L want to say that
while Dave Mulvane is a nice fellow
and all that he draws very little water,
politically, in Shawnee county. He
never carried a ward in his life and
has never been a delegate to but one
county convention.
And Shawnee is against Leland
strong continued Coloney Coney. If
Baker will come with US he can have
every senatorial vote in the county" "

ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED by
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
Rcn,a rISabIe Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person In every four suffers
from some form OF rectal disease. The
most common ana annoying is itching
and intense, uncomfortable itching In the
parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief, but nothing like perna-
nent cure can be expected from such su-
perfcial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
niles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure. not only for itching piles but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleeding
or protrudlng. Tho first application gives
instant relief and the continued use for q
short time causes permanent removal Of
the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
OF itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
pyramid Pile Cure was because IL wa!
supposed 10 contain cocaine, opium or Sim
liar drugs, but such is not the case A re-
cont careful analysis of the remedy shovel
Il to be absolutely free from any cocaine
opium, or, in fact. any poisonous, IN
furious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure II
probably the only pile cure exteneiyel,
recommended by physicians. because 1t II

and SO far rs known the only positive cure
