The Fort Dodge, Iowa, Daily Chron-

in every county in Iowa The associa-

Pender Republic: The fatal termina-
tion of one of the smallpox patients in
the Lennon home emphasizes the ne
cessity of great caution on the part of
our people. 1t makes no difference that
some are unwilling to admit that the
malady is smallpox. Competent physi-
clans here and elsewhere have positively
declared that it is smallpox. The health
of the community is far more essential
than that somebody's opinion, forme d
without any knowledge of diseases
whatever, should be respected. The
rights of the community are bound
to be and must be respected. The com.
munity has been greatly endangered by
the willful commingling among our
people, of persons coming from families
having the disease, which is no less than
criminal and should be treated as such
A set of agents are canvassing Nor
folk on n scheme that has very much
the appearance of a fake and people will
probably do well to require the fulfill
mert of their generous offer before part
ing with their money. For cash con-
sideration of 81 in installments these
generous people propose to give nine
books and number Of art premiums
besides allowing their patrons to choose
handsome piece of furniture, which if
of any value whatever, is worth more
than the entire price asked for books pic
lures and furniture. People will do well
to remember that no firm or COM
pany, it matters not how generous, can
afford to give something for nothing
1t is said that these agents have refused
a number of offers to sell their goods to
reliable business men and accept cash
on delivery, which is pretty good
ground for suspicion.

Deal for THROUGH Line.

SSd' iOi IhlCs
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Record-Her-
aid says: A new through railway
line from Chicago to st. Louis is be-
lieved by residents of Springfield and
other towns in the central part of the
state to be certainty in the near fut-

those cities is that the Chicago and
Northwestern railway has completed
a deal by which it will absorb the
Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis line
and thus gain an entrance into the de-
sirable st. Louis territory. For some
time the Northwestern road has been
at work building branch road from
Dixon to Peoria, and this would con-
meet with the Chicago, Peoria and
st. Louis road to make through line.

DIFFICULT FEAT IN SURGERY.
Successful Operation Performed by
Former Washington Boy

Successful Operation Performed by
Former Washington Boy.
The New York State Journal of Medi-
cine for March records with very interest
ing details a remarkable surgical opera
ton recently performed upon a man in
New York city by DR.. Charles T. Bell, as
sistant surgeon in Bellevue Hospital of
that city.
1t is stated that the man swallowed a
pin about twelve years ago, which for a
few months caused him much trouble, but
thereafter, up to about the time of the
operation, he experienced no difficulty from
it Then he felt some uncomfortable sem
Sation at the base of the tongue. An X
ray photograph was taken which located
the pin. DR.. Bell then performed the deli
cate surgical operation of removing it.
1t was found to be extensively eroded,
having lost one-third of it's original weight;
had turned black and was partially in
crusted with lime salts. Since the opera
ton the patient has experienced no ill re-
suits therefrom.
DR.. Bell is native of Washington; was a
pupil in the High School here and after
ward studied medicine and surgery in New
York city. He IS the eldest son of Mr..
Alonzo Bell, formerly assistant secretary
of the interior.

BACK TO THE ASYLUM.
Arrest of Man Who Escaped i'm Janu-
AIRY Last,

Information was received here last night
of the arrest in Philadelphia of Oscar NJ.
Reeves of this city, who escaped from St
Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane the Sd
of January. He called at the orphans
court in the Quaker city and asked for q
license to marry a mulatto named Agnes
Brown, and the result was he was taken
into custody. Reeves and the woman have
been acquainted for several months, and
yesterday was not the first time they had
arranged to get married.
Superintendent Richardson OF the insane
asylum sent Supervisor Coombs to Phila-
delphia this morning to bring Reeves back
for treatment. The man, it is said has
given his mother and the ASYLUM
authorities much trouble He is
about thirty years old, and until he
was sent to the asylum he lived at No 3Oi
New YORK avenue northwest. The 18th
OF August, 1896, he was committed to the
asylum and three months later he was dis
charged as cured. In October of the fol-
lowing year he was again sent to the asy-
lum, and the 21st of June, lSl7. he left
without permission. After his escape he
arranged to marry the colored girl, and
after being at liberty two months he was
returned to the institution. Again, in
January, he escaped and nothing was
heard of him until he was ed in Phil
adelphia yesterday. He will probably reach
here late this afternoon.

GETTING MORE b. AND O. STOCK.
Part of Pennsylvania New Issue
Likely to Be Used for Ii.

Part of Pennsylvania New Issue
Likely to BE Used for 1t.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York says: 1t was admitted to-
day CTuesday) by a member of a banking
house which is represented among the vot-
ing trustees of the Baltimore and ohio
railroad that a large additional block of
stock in the road has been bought by the
Pennsylvania.
Just what amount of stock and the pro-
portion of common and preferred stock
the banker was unwilling to state. He in
dicated in these words that the operations
of the Baltimore and Ohio would be con-
trolled by the policy of the Pennsylvania:
1.-THE Pennsylvania can have whatever it
wants in the Baltimore and Ohio"
AS stated in a dispatch to the Sun last
night, the first requirement of the Pennsyl-
vania is for an increased representation
in the Baltimore and Ohio directories, CT
which Vice Presidents s. M. Provost and
John P. Green of the Pennsylvania are
already members. To this list the Penn
sylvania expects to add Fourth Vice Presi-
dent Samuel p Rea, and possibly another
of it's officials.
The banker already referred to was asked
for further particulars to the PennSyl-
vania's interest in the Baltimore and Ohio,
to which he would only say that further
explanations must come from PhiIadel-
phia, where the future of the road would
be worked out. The two roads will be OPP
Grated, as separate corporations, each with
it's own officers.
The Pennsylvania recent annual report
showed that it held 100000 shares of Bal
timore and Ohio preferred stock of the
par value of $16000.O00. Other large pur-
chases have been made since the issue of
the report. On the basis of the Pennsyl-
vania's present representation it is esti-
mated that an increase of one representa-
tive in the directory means an increase I'm
the Pennsylvania holdings of Baltimore
and Ohio stock to a par value of 81, Co.,
600. and of two directors to So 600, 600
The increase of the Pennsylvania capi-
tai stock by $f00, 1000 voted by the
shareholders at today's meeting in Phila-
delphia, is believed to be designed in part
to pay for the requirement of additional
Baltimore and Ohio stock.

tablished lines and their desirability, as

at that point to wait for passengers trans
ferring.
The committee on railroads. upon the mo-
ton Of Mr.. Thomas Blagden, was also re-
quested to invite the attention of the Dis
trict Commissioners to the practice of the
Capital Traction Company of parking and
switching cars on 14th street between Ken
esaw avenue and Park street. Several ac-
cidents have occurred because of this prac-
tice, said Mr.. Blagden, and he asserted
that the occupancy of the street for the
purposes mentioned is unlawful. 1t is said
that the standing cars interfere at times
with the fire engine company on 14th street
blocking it's way, and mention was made
of the fact that truck company will be
placed in service around the corner on
Whitney avenue in a short time, and the
standing cars will then become more than
ever before serious menace to the safety
OF the public and the working of the fire
department.

Cures Hade Everywhere.
EVERY FORM OF PILES YIELD TO 1T.


In spite of the fact that the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is so well known certain cure for every form
OF piles, there sre still many people who think a
surgical operation the only cure.
Hundreds of thorough trials in the hands Of ply
sicians and patients have proven beyond a doubt,
however, that surgical operations for piles are IN
necessary cruel. many times dangerous to life and
relic of barbarism. The Pyramid Pile Cure will
cure any form OF piles erectually and without a
particle OF pain or Inconvenience, at slight ex-
pense and no danger whatever as Il is perfectly
harmless. The way IT effects patients who use II
may be inferred from the following from Mr.. e.
Crook of Waterloo, Iowa: Gentlemen-I have used
the Pyramid Pile Cure and It is out Of sight the
best thing / ever tried. I think Il has entirely
cured me- 1 have told Mr.. Knapp, our druggist
here, about it and he has ordered some. This
remedy is a great thing for piles
From Mrs. C. C. Spillman Huntsville, Ala.
Not long since You sent my husband some Of your
Pyramid Pile Cure and 1t did him much good
that want to write to you and tell you about it,
as he suffered very much and nothing seemed to
reach his case until he tried the Pyramid.
From j. ID. Roberts, Mt. Moriah, Mo-: II have
used the Pyramid Pile Cure and results have been
entirely satisfactory. There can be no question
but that 1t is certain and lasting cure for piles
at least 1t has proven in my case"
Miss Easter Nunley of Tracy City, Tenn writes:
The Pyramid Pile Cure has done my sister more
good than anything she has taken. / have
morning but words of warm commendation for IL. .
The Pyramid Pile Cure has become recognized as
the only standard pile strictly on its merits
and what IT has repeatedly done obstinate cases
both In private practice OF reputable physicians
and In individual cases.
1t is so cheap as to be within the reach OF all
classes Of people, and druggists everywhere state
that 1t gives universal satisfaction which can
hardly be otherwise when ii is remembered that
1t is composed Of the best remedies known to the
medical profession In treatment OF rectal diseases.
