The special committee appointed by
stockholders OF the Board of Trade
Theatre Company to solicit SIS, 900 adj
ditional stock subscriptions. met with
more success in their canvass yester-
day than on Saturday. Among the
subscriptions was one for 81 900. A

stating that only $500 was secured on
Saturday. That amount was secured
by two members of the committee

requisite amount has not yet been

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.


BE Overcome.
Mr.. VIM. Handschu, Of 10Th
street, Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa.
expresses himself as follows re-
garding the new remedy for that
common and obstinate disease,
piles: Il take pleasure in stating
that / was SO afflicted with piles
that for three months / got no reg
ular sleep; | became completely
Frustrated, the doctors did me no
good; my brother told me of the
new remedy for piles, the Pyramid
Pile Cure, purchased of my drug
gist three fifty-cent boxes and they
completely cured me. / am once
more at work and but for this ex-
cellent remedy would be on my
back. | take great pleasure in
writing this letter because so many
people are sufferers from this
trouble. who like myself, did not
know where to look for a per-
manent, safe, reliable cure
Experience with the Pyramid
Pile Cure for the past three years
has demonstrated to the medical
profession as well as to thousands
of sufferers from piles that it is the
safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered to the public, contain
ing no opiates or poisons of any
kind, painless and convenient to
handle, and being sold by drug
gists at sec and $100 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of
chronic cases that had not yielded
to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more
aggravating and obstinate to cure
than the various forms of piles,
and it is common practice to use
ointments, salves and similar prep
arations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble The
Pyramid has superseded all Of
these Intellectual remedies and no
one suffering with any rectal
trouble will make any mistake in
giving the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of
your trouble send to the Pyramid
Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, for a
valuable book on piles and describ-
ing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the
Pyramid Pile Cure as it is the best
known and most popular remedy
for piles, and if you ask him he
can doubtless refer you to many
naOD1e in voI1r own vicinity who
have been cured completely by it.

For the Departure.
THE REGIMENT WILL Be CARRIED BY TWO TRAINS
One Will Start from Bucyrus, the Other From
Akron---GeneraI Dick Finds Quarters For
the Guardsmen at the National Capital
---Everything Ready For Trip.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Columbus, Feb. 27.-Colonel Edward
Vollrath was at the adjutant generals
Office yesterday afternoon making final
arrangements for the Eighth regiments
trip to Washington. The regiment
leaves Saturday, March 2, in two special
trains-one starting form Bucyrus, the
regimental headquarters-and the
other from Akron. Plenty of coaches
will be furnished and the soldiers will
not be cramped for room. Both trains
will start about noon. The regiment
will go over the Pennsylvania system
and will reach Washington between 8
and 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Gen.
eral Charles Dick has been looking out
for the welfare of the soldiers and has
secured accommodations for them in
the national agricultural building. Col
onel Vollrath has not been advised what
the Eighth's position will be in the in
augural parade. He says the regiment
is fully equipped and he expects every
company will take the trip. The
Eighth's famous band will go. In round
numbers the strength of the regiment
reaches $50. The soldiers will leave for
their homes on Tuesday. Each COM
pany is required to furnish its subsist-

ence and is assessed certain sum to
help pay the travelling expenses. The
balance of the funds for the trip come
from the officers and friends of the
regiment.
This will be the Eighth's first attend
ance at the Inauguration of a president.
Several companies of the command have
participated in inaugural ceremonies in
years gone by, but efforts to take the
regiment as whole heretofore have
always failed. Before armed bodies
may pass through any state the consent
of the governor must first, be secured.
Permission has been given the Eighth
to pass through Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Maryland.
Colonel Vollrath states that target
practice will be made more feature
this year than ever before. He was not
prepared to say when the guard would
be armed with the celebrated Krag-
Jorgenson rifle.

PROSECUTOR DAY PROBES
FULTON BRIDGE CASE
The County's Contentious Will be
Strongly Presented at Proper Time.
AFFIDAVTTS OF ARCHITECTS FAVOR FIRST PLANS
Surveyor Hoover's Specifications Said to Have
Been Ample and There Was no Occasion
For Making the Expensive Changes
That Were Made

Prosecuting Attorney Robert II. Day
was in Cleveland Tuesday getting afii'
davits from expert architects and en-
gineers in the Canal Fulton bridge
case. The plans as originally drawn
by County Surveyor John s. Hoover
wero submitted to these experts and
It is said that they approved of the
plans and said that bridge built in
compliance with them would have
been adequate and as strong as neces.
sary. The arch, which was the weak
est, as planned by Mr.. Hoover, was up
to the standard of strength according
to the accepted rules of architecture.
The affidavits of the engineer of the
Osborn Engineering company, of Ar
chitect Hammond and others were
taken, and will be used in the case.
1t Is said in some quarters that an
effort Is being made to saddle large
part of the blame upon Surveyor Hoov-
er and his original plans, but the aft.
davits of these experts seem to support
the county surveyor.
Just when the application for injunc-
tion to stop the payment of the bills
will be heard cannot be definitely de.
termined. The prosecuting attorney
has until Tuesday to file affidavits.
The defense will then be granted suffi.
cient time to prepare counter affidavits,
and the other side may then want some
thing in rebuttal. It is possible how
ever that 1t may reach hearing next
week. The case will come before

for the Canal Fulton bridge, were filed

G Jorge F. Hammond, being duly

been agreed upon, but that he was not
at liberty to disclose them.
Mrs. Ite was killed by Valley train
at a point where the switch crosses
South Market street. She was in a
street car, and seeing the train ap-
preaching she jumped in an endeavor
to save herself, and was crushed be-
tween the wheels of the engine.
Suit was brought to recover $4,000
damages, it being claimed that both
the railway company and the street car
company by their negligence contrib
uted to her death. While the terms are
not known on which the case is settled,
it is thought that the two companies
paid large sum to keep the case from
coming to trial.

On returning to the depot they were
met by the two infirmary directors

his marriage he deserted his wife and
baby and went west where he remained
