New Phone Line For Lawrence.

Lawrence, March 1.-The Douglas
Telephone company, which proposes to
erect a telephone exchange and tele-
phone lines in Lawrence in opposition
to the Kansas Missouri company, and
which was granted a franchise at the
last meeting of the city council, has
filed a written acceptance of the terms
of the ordinance required by it.
The ordinance fixes the time in which
work must be commenced, and if the
company still means business it is likely
that the work on the new plant will be
commenced within the next sixty days.
The acceptance of the franchise is sign
ed by S. ]. Bear as vice president of
the company and J. D. Lemon as secre-
tary. 1t is understood the exchange
will be in the Leis building at the corner
of Henry and massachusetts, street.

WHERE GRANT DIED.

LF'rom the New York Mail and Express1
The announcement that the cottage
on Mount McGregor, where General
Grant suffered and died, is shortly to
pass under the auctioneer's hammer,
will come as a surprise to a large ma
jority of Americans. This cottage it
will be remembered, has been preserved
in private ownership ever since the body
OF the hero of Appomattox was borne
from it nearly IA years ago, on its way
to this city for interment in the River
side tomb The recent personal assign
ment of the owner carries with 1t the
sale of the building for the satisfaction
of his creditors.
The fact, we are gratified to note in
spired to action the trustees of the
Grant Monument association at their
annual meeting yesterday. The trustees
feel that the cottage should be rescued
from the hands of spectators; and
with this object in view, a committee
was appointed to investigate the matter
and if necessary to memorabilia the
legislature to purchase the place, in or
der that it may be maintained perman-
emily by the people as historical relic.
There should be no division Of opinion
on this subject. There can be no more
wholesome public sentiment than that
which demands and secures the preSer-
walton of a spot made sacred as this was
made by the awful agony, sublime resig-
nation, heroic labor and final surrender
of an American who was the foremost
of his time with the single exception of
Lincoln In the lesson it conveys to the
right-minded, a visit to this shrine is
scarcely less potent than is visit to
Mount Vernon. The acquisition and
preservation of the modest building
should be a matter of supreme pride
with the Empire state, and would un-
QueStionab1y earn the approval and
gratitude of the entire country.
Suggestion, not argument, should set
tie the question at Albany

no SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of Sleeplessness That Can
Be Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Handschu of 46th st. Cotton
Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself
as follows regarding the new remedy
for that common and obstinate disease,
piles: IT take pleasure in stating that
was so afflicted with piles that for
three months I got no regular sleep;
became completely Frustrated, the doc
tors did me no good; my brother told
me OF the new remedy for piles, the
Pyramid Pile Cure; 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
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that 1t is the safest and most
enectual pile cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or poisons
or any kind, painless and convenient to
handle. and being sold by druggists
at soc and $1.OO 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
Ealves 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 a 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
IL you ask him he can doubtless refer
you to many people in your own vicinity
who have been cured completely by it.

MANY WOMAN WILLING.
Hundreds Answer Advertisement For
Travelling Companion.

Chicago, March 2.-Scores of women
with visions of trip to Europe, $50 a
month salary, and all expenses paid
have for the last week been flooding
the postoffice with letters for one
Frank Robinson, who claims to live in
Green Bay, Wis, and who advertised
last week in a Sunday newspaper for a
travelling companion to go to Europe
with him and his two children. Robin
son is supposed to be a confidence man.
The advertisement disclosed the fact
that over 100 women in Indiana avenue
alone would be glad to make the trip,
but that there were scores of others in
almost every prominent street in the
city inclined the same way.
Robinson is said to have received 5000
letters in answer to his advertisement.
The most likely applicants were an
one a student at the Chicago Musical
college, and both boarding at 1889 In
diana avenue, answered the advertise
ment and were partially promised the
place, and it was through them Robin
sons scheme became known.
Robinson is described as being feet
8 inches tall. with light hair and steel
gray eyes. There is a deep scar on the
right side of his face, close to the nose,
and a prominent mole under his lower
lip.
Robinson called at 1889 Indiana ave-
nue. and gave out the information that
he was a dairyman at Green Bay, and
that he was going to Europe to claim
a $500, 600 fortune. His first inquiry was
whether the two young women had any
Jewelry or Sealskin sacks to wear on the
trip. According to Robinson's story,
his wife died year ago and the COVER
ness was needed to care for his 7-year-
old son and his 12-year-old daughter.
Robinson promised to deposit enough
money in a Chicago bank to pay the
governess' passage home. One of the
young women exposed the trick.
a similar advertisement appeared in
the Sunday newspapers last summer,
purporting to call for a governess for a
wealthy Green Bay man, and several
hundred women were decoyed into ap-
plying for the place in person at an
office in the Opera House block. The
man disappeared with the pocketbook
and watch of one of the aDDIicants

RATES TO EUROPE ARE CUT
Action by the White Star Line May
Precipitate q bitter Fight.

New York, March 2.-Passenger rates
to Europe have been heavily cut by the
White Star Line for the month of
March ,and there is a possibility of a
general rate war on the part of the
transatlantic steamship lines. Officials
of the line received orders from the
home office last Friday ordering the cut,
but giving no reason for it.
S. s. COrtis, manager of the passen-
ger department, said at the offices in
the Bowling Green building today: THE
London agreement for salon and second
cabin passengers between the lines has
been cancelled, and the White Star has
reverted to the rate that formerly ex-
isted-that is, a minimum rate of $50 on
small steamers for the winter season
and $50 on the Majestic and TeutOnic
and $50 and $75 for the summer season.
Mr.. Cortis said the rate for second cab
in would be $3.50. without alteration,
during the summer.
siderable comment in steamship circles.
Gustav H. Schwab, agent of the North
German Lloyd, said: 81 think it is
great pity for any line to cut rates just
at this time, when business is beginning
to come in. We are not prepared to
say whether this will mean a general
cut in rates or not"
James A. Wright, second vice presi-
dent of the American Line, said his
company had not decided whether to
follow the White Stars example. ''I
Perhaps they were not getting bust

Representatives of other lines said
that as the announced cut in rates were
for only a month it might not seriously
affect their business.
