PEARL FoRBEs' MURDERER.
Negro Arrested Under the Charge in
Leaven worth Prison.

Leavenworth, Kas.. Nov. 14-George
Robinson, the negro arrested near Ton
ganoxie and suspected of numbering
Pearl Forbes, was brought to Leaven-
worth and placed in the county Jail
Tuesday.
The officers who brought Robinson in
alighted from the Union Pacific train
at Lansing, and there was some thought
of placing the prisoner in the Kansas
penitentiary, but it was not done The
officers do not believe that Robinson
killed the girl. Robinson has a cut
wrist and there is some blood ON his
shirt bosom, but his cuff buttons and
other clothing do not match the button
or pieces found where the girl was muir
dered. Robinson stated that he was in
Leavenworth Tuesday and does not give
a good account of himself since. He has
a sullen disposition and refuses to talk.
He says that his home is in Columbus,
Ohio. Robinson did not want to come
back to Leavenworth with the officers.
They attribute this to his desire to get
away from all officials and believe he is
wanted for crime in another place.

SUICIDE AT BUsHoNG.
Bridegroom of Two Months Shoots
Himself in the Head.

Emporia, Kas., Nov. 14.-Coroner Boy
Ian and Dennis O'Conner have returned
from Bushong, where they were called
to sit on a suicide Arthur Reed,
young man of Bushong, had shot him
self with q revolver. The circumstances
made it evident that it was a, suicide,
and no inquest was held. Ee was found
lying alone in a room at the home of
Geo. McNIurdo with a 30 calibre revolt
yer beside him. He had placed the muz-
zle of the revolver in his mouth. The
bullet came out near the center of his
skull. Reed had lived in Missouri until
a few months ago, when he came to
Kansas and secured work on McMurdo's
farm.
He was 21 years old and rather hand
some. He gained reputation for being
a good worker and q young man of
good character. 1t was while working
for McNIurdo that young Reed fell in
love with his employers granddaughter.
They were married and a. few days ago
returned from a six weeks wedding trip.
A brother who lives in Eskridge stopped
at McMurdo'S to see them. About noon
he started to leave. The entire family
accompanied him to the buggy, where
they stood talking. No one paid any at
tention to Reed when he left the group
and returned to the house Before they
could re- enter the house he had shot
himself His young wife was the first
to find him. No note was left by him
to explain, and his friends can think of
no reason why he should commit suicide.

THOUSANDS BEAR WITNESS
To the Value of the Pyramid Pile
Cure.

Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestimable value of the
Pyramid Pile Cure, and even those who
have undergone surgical operations
prised by results from a few weeks
treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain and itching is al
most instantaneous and the healing oils
and astringents contained in the rem
edy gradually and naturally bring about
complete cure in any form of piles
itching, protruding, internal or bleeding
Mr.. Archie Birkett. of IOnia- Mich.
writes: L was troubled with piles so
bad 1 had to quit work for awhile
found no relief until tried the Pyramid
Pile Cure. I used only two applications
and it cured me almost instantly. I can
truthfully recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure to any sufferer from piles
Mr.. Edward Dunellen, of Wilkesbarre
Pa, says: For seven years was
scarcely ever free from the itching tor
ment Of piles. 7 had used ointments
and salves without number and often
times got relief from them, but it took
the Pyramid Pile Cure to make com
plete cure and it did it thoroughly and
for eighteen months I have not had the
slightest trace of piles 1 feel all the
more rejoiced because some of my
friends told me / would never be cured
unless submitted to surgical operation
and this / felt never could do
Mrs Aaron Medron, of Savannah,
Ga, writes: Ever since the birth of
my hrSJ cn1ids SIX years ago, have suf-
fered greatly from piles and rectal
troubles. I could not bring myself to
bear the thoughts of surgical opera
ton and had always been prejudiced
against patent medicines.
But it was simply q case of try some
thing or give up entirely, and so having
often seen the Pyramid Pile Cure adver-
tised determined to try it, and for two
years have never ceased to congratulate
myself that I did so, for I have been
entirely cured of rectal troubles and
