through all the mud. The management
had laid several tons Of straw on the
ground, but it was soon tramped in
with the mud, and when the crowd from
the big show crossed This lney would
sink in to their ankle. When a foot
was withdrawn a section of the fair
grounds and a bale of this straw came
with it. The mud and straw was not
satisfied to remain on the shoes, but
seemed ambitious to rise, and it did
rise and spread in liberal splotches over
the clothes. When the victims OF this
mud reached the city they were the
butt of all kinds of jokes from their
friends, who had to work or had not
a pass or the price of admission.

instances it was wonderful that they e.
capped serious injury. Particularly Is
this true Of one man who lit on his
head in the mud.
One of the most interesting. IL not
the most instructive, was the exhibi-
ton drill by q full crew from the life
saving service of the United States The
gun was brought into position and a
light line was shot to the man on the
mast, and by near OF this he pulled a
heavier one aboard. and, when it had
been made secure the breeches buoy
was sent out to him on the hawser. The
man was then pulled in and the hawser
was drawn in on the reel.
The Indians, who were very nun.er-
Gus, went through their war dances and
when they had finished had on a coat
Nof mud in addition to their war paint.
The cowboys and Mexicans contributed
their usual numbers of riding, lassoing,
etc, but the mud interfered with the
working Of many Of the fine points.
Col. Cody, Buffalo Bill, contributed a
number in sharp-shooting, while going
at full speed on horseback. The Col
one is still active and a crack shot, but
he shows the fact that is Is growing
old and cannot continue for many more
years in this active life.
The closing number was the Battle
of Tien-Tsin," a military spectacle, and
replaces the battle of San Juan, which
was the big feature last season. 1t was
presented in two scenes, the first being
the assembly of the powers, cavalry
drill, camp episodes and the advance
on the city. In the camp life the
creased pig chase was much e~nlivened
by the uncertain footing. The second
scene was the storming of the walls
and the capture of the city. This was
made more interesting by the falling
rain and several Of the soldiers took
headers in the mud.

When the show closed is where the
trouble really began.
Now the aforesaid mud had been
pretty well stirred and mixed UP by
the people entering, and when the
crowd left the tent they were so close

The only sure way to cure every
form Of pilessi is to use = remedy
like the Pyramid Pile Cure, which
is applied DIRECTLY 10 THE
PARTS AFFECTED. and its won
derful healing effects are apparent
from the first application because
the medicinal properties are rapidly
absorbed by tissues and sensitive
membranes Of the rectum, and the
cure is made speedily and almost
before the patient is aware of it
every trace of piles has left him.
This is one Of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uni
formly successful. IT is APPLI-
ED directly just where it is needed
and WHERE 1T WILL DO THE
MOST GOOD. Not by the round
about way of the stomach nor the
harsh barbarous methods Of various
surgical operations and so-called
SYSTEMS.
DIRECT APPLICATION to the
seat of disease is the only Rational
way, and this is fully accomplished
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony OF
thousands who have tried this rem
edy is worth anything then no suf-
ferer has any excuse for longer de-
laying in giving it a fair trial,
knowing that when you do so the
Pyramid Pile Cure will have made
n more friend, the best possible
advertisement we a have. The
chief advantages of the remedy are:
1t cures without pain, the cure is
lasting, it contains no poison, and
lastly, it is the cheapest and quick
est cure yet found. Your druggist
can tell you what it has done for
others.
Testimonials of cures from all
parts of the United States will be
sent on application to the Pyramid

CLEARED
 OF AWFUL CHARGE
Steve Cox Discharged by Judge AppIing-Some Sensa-
 tional Evidence

Jasper, February 25.-(Special. .)-Steve upon his daughter, Nellie Cox, was given a preliminary hearing this afternoon be- fore Judge Appling of the law and equity court and was discharged, the judge not considering the evidence strong enough to bind him over.
 Nellie testified that her father first as- saulted her about three years ago while her mother was away from home, and that he had kept up improper relations with her since; that her father is the father of her child born in December last. A few days ago Cox was arrested and incarcerated.
 The girl made an affidavit before Jus tice of the Peace Morris to the effect that the statements made when the war were untrue and that she had been in f1uenced to swear out the warrant. She testified today that her reason for mak- ing the affidavit was Ito avoid possible prosecution of herself
 After being released from custody Cox immediately left for his home in com pany with his wife and daughter.
 This case caused considerable excite ment when it first came to light, and Cox's discharge came as a surprise.
 It is generally believed that Cox will be indicted for incest at the next sitting of the grand jury.

EXECUTIVE SESSION
Of Cuban Constitutional Convention On Relations With United States.

Havana, February 25-The Cuban Con- stitutional Convention met in executive session this afternoon and discussed the question of the future relations between Cuba and the United States. It was evil dent that the delegates were deeply i'm pressed with the recommendations of the United States Senate committee on rela- tions with Cuba, cabled from Washing ton. When Senor Nunez was asked his opinion he replied:
 That settles it. If the United States government insists on naval stations have nothing to say"
 The report of the special committee on relations declared that any scheme of relations accepted by the convention could not bind the future Republic and must be approved by the Cuban Congress. The members of the committee were unanimous on this point. The report was rather in the nature of suggestions, showing no substantial variation from the forecast already cabled.
 Senor Nunez introduced a resolution that the convention should appoint a committee either to go to Washington or get a committee from the United States Congress to investigate 1t. The general discussion was adjourned until to- morrow.

BIG STEEL COMPANY INCORPORATED
 WITH CAPITAL STOCK OF ONLY 5000

Robert Bacon, a member of that firm, declared that the official news would have to be withheld for another day. The nominal capitalization of $3O0O of the United States Steel Corporation is un- derstood to mean that the incorporators had simply taken the precauton to file papers before any one else had a chance to use the name. The incorporators in- clude ex-Judge Curtis, who Is a partner of William Nelson Cromwell, of the law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell
 MT. Cromwell, President Gary, of the Federal Steel Company; Max Pam, rep resenting the American Steel and Wire Company, and Francis Lynde Stetson, who Is one of MT. Morgans confidential legal advisers, were in conference the greater part of the day.
 With them from time to time were rep resentatives of the various concerns which are to form the great combine.
 There were unconfirmed statements that committees representing these com panies had prepared circular letters 10 be sent to their stockholders; that these letters gave eact terms and all details, and that the shareholders would be urged to accxept the terms set forth.
 Another bit of gossip was that both the American Bridge Company and the National Tut,e -'sosnpany would be ieft out of the combine. These concerns are credited with being dominated by MOT gan interests. so the rumor was accept ed with much reservation. None or the principal officials of the companies would discuss the matter.
 Morgan & Co., are declared to have made all arrangements for financing the combination As to the Notation of the company, a prominent bank officer was oaited as saying that not more than Sl5,- 000.00) Of actual cash would be neces- sary and that this sum had already been put aside by the underwriting syndicate. Speedy application will be made, It is said. to list the shares of the company here and on the London stock exchange
 The underwriting syndicate Is said to have offers for the shares of the new company aggregating $1OO,000, 900. It is rumcred that London, Paris, Berlin and Frankfort bankers have taken kindly to the advances of the underwriters.
 From a well informed source comes the statement that the United States Steel corporation will have s1,100, 900 capital stock. Of this $300, 900 will be per cent general mortgage bonds. s400,- O00,000 of per cent. preferred stock and s4oo GOO GOO of common stock. The cor poration will take over the. Carnegie. Federal Steel, Steel and Wire and other companies named by an exchange of stock. The valuation of the subsidiary concerns has been arrived at by close examination of theIr assets, as well as of their earning power. Mir. Morgan Is said to have declared that without a combination of companies to be absorbed in one would have spent for betterments at least SJ0, ,000, 000 a year for the next five years. With the element of competition eliminated it is figured that all or nearly all of this will be saved.
