Hamlin Garland. The hero is gentle

Crissey informs the reader that Mr Har-

farm to farm in the region where the
scene of his novel was laid, in order to
get local color. The realism is the most

CORONER'S INQUEST TODAY
Pearl DOney Died Yesterday Under
Peculiar circumstances

Pearl Doney. who lived with her par
ents at 413 Stephen street. West Side.
died yesterday under circumstances that
viii be made the subject Of an investiga-
ton by the coroner this morning. The
dead girl was IS years old and she
breathed her last in the rooms occupied
10y a professional nurse on West Douglas
avenue The physician who attended the
girl tells the story sa far as it is known
at the present time According to the
physician. Miss Douey called to see him
week ago last Saturday. She COM
planned of being I'll and inquired If he
could recommend some one with whom
she could remain during her illness Tbs
physician, it is claimed. recommended
the nurse in whose rooms the girl died.
She then remained under the care Of the
physician. Peritonitis developed last
Thursday and st was only al the last
moment that she disclosed her true iden-
tity. Her mother was sent for and ar
rived few hours before the girl died
The father Of the girl Is a respectable
and hard working man. He notified the

believe that one will be obtained in 6
very little time as compared to the last
trial The matter Of preferring a lesser
charge against the girl Is something that
the county attorney and the judge alone
have to deal with and I certainly have
RDt been consulted in the matter and
don't expect to be. since 1t is something
that does not concern me, but am sure
however, that at this date there Is no
talk of anything of the kind. Miss Nor
rison has not been in Ell Dorado to my
knowledge at least since the day she was
liberated from the county Jail upon bail
L have been told that she left Immediately
Tor the home of relatives in Virginia, and
I suppose she is still there and is likely
to remain there until she is summoned
for her trial.
Just when that viii be, of course,
do not know. The next term Of court be-
gins in March and it is likely to be tried
along with the other criminal cases at
the beginning of the term. What I have
said is merely conjecturaI, as I am speak
ing only from observation. 1t may be
that it VIII be a harder task than we an
ticipate TO procure a jury for the second
trial 1t was hard matter. indeed. to
get one for the first trial. and as all of
the details have been read and reread
many Of the jurors VIII likely be ex-
cused for cause they having formed
opinions that win be hard to remove. I
think that practically the same evidence
VIII be adduoed at the second as was
given at the first trial The county at

procured some new evidence that IS of

THE BEST TEST
Is the Service and Experience OF
Years


Years.
The best soldier is not the new recruit
Of a few months service.
The best mechanic is not the appren-
tice, and the best man in the line is he
who has been tried by years Of service
and experience.
This IS not only true of men, but of
nearly everything else, and especially is
it true Of medicines for disease New
remedies must be thoroughly tested and
their merit established beyond question
before the intelligent public will put
faith in them.
There are not many remedies which
have stood the test of ten years and con-
tinDed TO increase in popularity each
year, but this is true Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure, and it is the only pile cure
that has stood this test, and among the
many popular medicines on the market it
IS the only one which can be said to have
no competitor; its sale has steadily in
creased from year to year. and this re-
suit has been not so much because OF
judicious advertising as because it has
been recommended by word OF mouth
from ono cured sufferer to another.
Piles is supposed to be caused in most
cases by a sedentary life and lack Of
exercise, but il generally comes without
any apparent excuse and often people
who i've an active outdoor life are VIC
Tins Of the disease. A case in point is
that o. James Creeden, a lumberman
and teamster in Northern Michigan. He
says: u suffered for eight or nine years
from itching and prutruding piles, some
times so severely that I could scarcely
walk; then I would get better for a
week or two, but the trouble always re-
turned I could not afford the expense
Of an operation and endured the disease
until was advised by my mother, who
lived in Manistee, to give the Pyramid
Pile Cure q trial
Il had never heard Of it, but when
went to town I asked my druggist about
it and he told me he had sold it for
years and never had a complaint Of its
failure to cure piles.
Il bought 2 package and found not
only relief but a permanent cure after
several weeks regular use.
''One Of the best things about the Py-
ramid Pile Cure I found to be its con-
venience, being in suppository form and
used at night; it did not interfere with
my daily work and is simple and pain
less"
All druggists in the United States and
Canada sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at
30 cents per package.
