AS seen From Ardmore.

While many nervous individual
sought shelter in their storm houses
Saturday night. few others sat
for hours watching the lightning S
flash and the seething clouds come
and go. 1t was truly a grand sight
and at the same time awe-inspiring.
the main force of the storm plainly
visible with the lightning's flash
passed far to the north of us travel
ing in a northeasterly direction at
the same time the slight wind and
shower of rain we had came almost
directly from the northeast. Those
living in the north part of town
had a splendid'view of the battle in
the air. Shortly after midnight
the clouds had dispersed and the
starry armament was resplendent
in its beauty again.

Fire at Masonic Hall

A fire alarm which met with a
prompt response by the fire depart
ment was given about 1890
O'Clock this forenoon.
Smoke was seen issuing from
the large roof over the Masonic
building, an investigation showed
that the fire was between the cell
ing of the large hall and the roof,
So dense was the smoke up there
that no clue could be arrived at, a
hose was rapidly drawn to the
third story and the inside of the
building deluged with waiter,
while another hose played over the
roof. a portion of the roof was
torn away giving egress to the
smoke.
Then it was discovered that the
fire originated from a fue on
the west side of the building con-
nected with the knights of Pythias
hall the janitor there had been
cleaning up and was burning a lot
of paper and trash which had COM
municated with timbers just under
the Masonic Hall roof.
The damage done to the Masonic
Hall and carpet, the latter an
elegantly designed emblematic car
pet, will amount to the neighbor
hood of $3.50, fully covered by
insurance with the firm of Bruce
& Larbett.
The law offices on the second
floor will suffer some from water.
1t was to say the least a timely
discovery.

FOUR BOXES DID IT.


remarkable Success of n New Pile
People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and inconven-
ience Of that common disorder. piles
VIII look with scepticism upon the
claims of the makers of the new dis
coVery for a cure of all forms of piles
known under the name Of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy
are such as to warrant the investiga-
ton OF any sufferer. AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas of sub-station No.
3. Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio writes
as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen:-I want you to use nv
name If 1T will be Of any use to YOU. I
was Sc bad with piles that I lost work
ON that account. Nothing helped me.
l read in Cincinnati Of the MANY cures
of piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and
l went to drug store and asked for
it. The drug clerk told me that he had
something else that he thought was
better, but told him that 1 wanted to
try the Pyramid first
The first box helped me so much that
l tried another, and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes. maxine
Have not trace of piles and I had
suffered for four years with the worst
kind Of protruding piles
l suffered death from piles, but I
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. 1 have recon-
mended it to several of my friends and
am thankful to be able to write YOU
what good the remedy has done me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium
cocaine or mineral poison of any kind.
and because it is SO safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured in a sur
prisingly short time and with no tncon-
.venience whatever
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at SO cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa
ton is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the cos
tive condition. Price Of Pills is 25 cents
per package.

METROPOLITAN

Phinneys United States band will give
two concerts at the Metropolitan opera house
tomorrow afternoon and evening; this organ
ization was formerly known as the Iowa State
band, and under the direction Of Mr.. Freder-
lex Phinney, the present conductor, achieved
ing features Of the Worlds Fair and the
Omaha exposition, and ranks as one of the
finest military and concert bands in America.
Stuart Robson and his splendid company in
The Meddler" will give two performances,
matinee and evening, at the Metropolitan,
closing his engagement in this city with the
performance tonight.
The remarkably handsome chorus Of the
De Angels Opera company in The Jolly
Musketeer' has come in for a large share
of attention both from the press and the pub
lie In each city where this delightful new op-
era has thus far been presented. In Philadel-
phia and Washington and later in New York
the Johnnies have pretty nearly gone daffy
over the surprisingly pretty girls of this COM
prettier girls would be hard to find anywhere,
ana surely we have never seen anything IN
the shape of a comic opera chorus who could
surpass these De Angels girls.
GRAND.
Robert Mantell the popular and talented
romantic actor, will conclude a highly sue
cessful engagement at the Grand with per-
formances today at 2:3O and tonight at S:15.
The bill for the matinee will be "a Secret
Warrant" one of the most enjoyable pieces
in the Mantell repertoire. For the night per-
Torrance will be repeated the success of the
opening night 'The Face in the Moonlight"
play in which Mr.. Mantell appears at his
best.

ly meet with strong reception at the hands
Of loyal theater-goers at the Grand next
week 1t is conceded to be one of the COM
edy hits Of this season as well as last Anus
ing complications in abundance arise over
mistaken identity and the plot evolves no end
OF funny scenes, situations and climaxes. A
clever supporting company is promised in the
piece.

STEWART CASE DISMISSED
JUDGE KELLY DIRECTS YER
DICT FOR THE ACCUSED
ENGINEER
First Wards Scandal Is Finally Dis
posed of Through the Formal
Order of the District Court
Judge Makes a Statement.

Judge Kelly yesterday directed YER
dict for the defendant in the trial of
William D. Stewart. charged with an
indecent assault on the person of six :
year-old Annie Paulsen. Attorney
Pierce Butler. for the defendant. OBJ
jected to the introduction of the testi-
mony of the little girl. In his ruling
on the objection the court said:
There have been peculiar circumstances
surrounding this case. There has been, nat
urally enough, perhaps, great deal of in
dignation felt in the family of this little girl
and by her friends with reference to what
they believe no doubt, has been an outrage
committed upon her. That circumstance has
been taken up by the neighborhood and has
taken form in public meeting in which the
committing magistrate of this county and
one of the officers of the county attorney s
office have been -censured by that meeting. A
just judge, fit to sit upon any bench, must
have, in addition to a reasonably fair knowl-
edge Of the law three qualities: He must
be just, he must be incorruptible, he must
be fearless. And, in the face of all these
things and in view of my responsibility to this
community, to my own conscience and to God,
have no hesitation in saying that in this
sustained.
II wish to add to this that in the state of
New York, l am advised, the legislature
has by statute made provision for cases of
this kind. If, in the wisdom of the legsIa-
ture of Minnesota they desire to change the
law, 1t is within their province, and not in the
province of the COURT
