The State Journal has no doubt that

is also likely that it will disagree in
many of his views. Mr.. Howe tells US

will advocate everything that is right
and give reasons in fair and temperate
language. Many of the ideas advanced

merit will be sure to be reached.
In regard to Mr.. Sheldon, the State
Journal has great respect for him and
recognizes him as a splendid citizen.

QUEENS VISIT ENDS.
Victoria Returns to Windsor After
Inspecting the Guards.

London, March 10-6:35 p. m.-Queen
Victoria brought her visit to London to
a close this evening and returned to
Windsor after an inspection of two bat
talions of the guards. Throughout the
day vast crowds gathered outside Buck
ingham Palace and along the advertised
route to the railroad station, and when
the royal carriage finally started for
Hyde Park its way to Paddington,
the enthusiasm broke out into cheers
which were unbroken until the train de-
parted.
Previous to leaving the palace there
was a brief but interesting ceremony
on the grounds where 1000 khaki clad
guardSmen in full marching order, were
drawn up for the final inspection of her
majesty before their departure fO-
South Africa on Wednesday. Real
queens weather enlivened the scene
with bright sunshine and the tempera-
ture as mild as May.
The queen, accompanied by the Prince
and Princess of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of York Prince and Princess
Christian of Schleswig-H olstein and
Princess Beatrice, drove slowly along
the line, and to the Duke of Cambridge,
who was present as honorary colonel of
the grena diers, her majesty expressed
admiration for the splendid appearance
of the men.
After the inspection cheers for the
queen were called for and enthusiastic
hurrahs rent the air with the soldiers
waving their helmets on the points of
their bayonets. The general public was
excluded but the queen specially inVi-

When a member wants to build a

provisions and is backed by some pro-

NO PAIN THRILLING EXPENSE.
A Simple, Harmless Remedy for
the Cure of Piles.

A person contracts a cold, pneumonia,
rheumatism and pleurisy from expos
ure; dyspepsia and liver troubles from
dietary errors and the causes of most
diseases are easily traceaple, put al
though piles and rectal troubles are as
common as any of these, the cause is
obscure.
Violent exertion, as in lifting, some
times produces them and a Sedentary
occupation is by some supposed to be
predisposing cause, but as a rule piles
and rectal troubles appear without APP
parent proVocation.
There are many pile salves and oint-
ments which give temporary relief and
when these fail, the patient, if he can
afford the expense and is willing to take
the risk, has resource to a surgical OPP
Grafton. But there is one remedy which
gives immediate relief and the regular
use of which will bring about a perma-
nent cure and that is the well known
Pyramid Pile Cure.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
has proven to be the only cure except
a dangerous and exceedingly painful
surgical operation. and it's advantages
over any kind of operation are many,
as it is painless, causes no interference
with daily occupation, and being in the
form of a suppository is always con-
Venient and ready for use.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is an effective
combination of soothing oils and anti
septic acids. 1t contains no cocaine nor
nerve destroying opiates and unlike
most pile salves, contains no bi-chloride
of mercury nor any poisonous, injurious
drug of any kind.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents for a complete treat
ment of the suppositories.
A little book on cause and cure of
piles will be mailed free by addressing

SHE FOOLED HER HUSBAND.
Runaway Wichita Wife Hides in the
Car Her Spouse Rides In.

Wichita, March 1O.-Mrs. George
Howell. wife of the foreman of the
Frisco shops, who two months ago
pinned a farewell note to the gown of
her sleeping child and ran away, has
returned and is living happily again
with her husband and little boy.
The experience of Mrs. Howell, ac-
cording to the story of a friend, was
rather exciting and interesting. When
she left the home at night two months
ago, after having put her little boy to
sleep, she did not leave the city for
three days. Her husband thought she
had gone to Kansas City, and he took
the Missouri Pacific night train for that
place in search of her It so happened
that Mrs. Howell took the same train
for Kansas City, but each entered the
coach without noticing the other.
Shortly after leaving the depot Mrs.
Howell says she spied her husband sit
ting in front of her in the coach and
could have touched him, but she re-
manned quiet in her seat. She left the
train at Emporia and Mr.. Howell went
on to Kansas City to search for her.
He put every detective in Kansas City
on her track, but she was not there.
Mrs. Howell took sick at Emporia, and
remained there a week, after which she
: went to Denver, Colo.
From Denver she went direct to st.
Louis, where she secured a position in
a restaurant Her husband discovered
her whereabouts through a letter which
she had written to a friend here, and
he went to St Louis and found her.
There was renewal of the old counting
days and Mr.. Howell won out His
wife would not come back with him, but
promised to return in a few days if he
would secure a house in a different part
of Wichita. He left her ticket home
and returned and secured another house
and had the household goods moved.

TERRIFIC DISCHARGE
Follows the Strike Blowing Out
the Machinery.
Find Made in an Abandoned
Well of &c Years.
Sufficient Quantity to Supply
the Two Cities.

Kansas City Kan, March 10.-It is
possible that natural gas may be found
in Kansas City, Kan, in sufficient guam
titles to supply the needs. Of the two
Kansas Citys, and experts who are en-
gagged in the prospecting say that de-
post has been tapped that is as i'm
portant as those at lola and other east
ern Kansas towns.
Some time ago a company was formed
in Kansas City, Kan, by Henry Nc
Grew, ]. P. Clark and Stephen Shary
TO re-sink an old well that was sunk
by the 1IcAlpine company twenty-six
years ago, at Fourteenth street and
Ohio avenue in Kansas City, Kan, and
yesterday afternoon work was begun,
after a months preparation. Last
night at o'clock the old hole was
reached, and the flow Of natural gas
blew out the machinery and almost
wrecked the derrick The discharge was
shut off and the prospectors will drill
still deeper, expecting to find more gas
at a greater depth.
The we'll which is now said to have a
capacity sufficient to make it profitable
to utilize the gas. is about 800 feet deep
1t was sunk in 1874 by the McAlpines,
who found a good quantity of gas, but
abandoned the enterprise because there
was not a very great demand at that
time for the product. The hole was
allowed to fill up. and the pipes became
rusty and clogged, but now the rubbish
has been cleaned out and the deposit
has been found just as it was left
The present company has facilities
for drilling to a greater depth than did
the old concern, and the hole will be
prospected for all it is worth. Geologi-
cal experts say that the same indica-
tfons are found here that prevail in the
great gas field of southeastern Kansas,
and their opinions have much encour-
aged the Kansas City, Kan, company
in it's enterprise.
If gas should be found in sufficient
quantities to make it useful as fuel, it
would be great boon for the hundreds
of manufacturers and the big packing
houses which now use coal altogether.
The old McAllpine well is only about a
dozen blocks from Armour's packing
house and the west bottoms district.

FORGIVENESS ASKED
For Capt. McCalls For an ofense
Committed Eight Years Ago.

Washington, March 1O.-The secretary
of the navy has recommended to the
president that he will exercise executive
clemency in the case of Capt Bowman
II. McCalla who was reduced several
numbers on the navy list some years
ago by sentence of court martial and
thus restore him to the place he orig
inally occupied.
This action has been taken because
of Captain McCalla's gallant and meri-
torious services during the Spanish war
and because of the written statement Of
all his classmates who will be affected
by his restoration, that they would be
glad to see him restored.
The offense for which Captain Me-
Gala was reduced was committed by
him about eight years ago when in
command of the Enterprise he struck
a mutinous sailor with the fiat of his
sword.
