KNOWN AS THE RAIN KING.
Wherever He Goes Clouds Hover Over
Captain Berger and Barge.

Wherever He Goes Clouds Hover Over
Captain Berger and Barge.
De Wit Berger, captain of the barge
Henry D. Maxwell, is man not much
out Of the ordinary line of seafarers,
but he appears to have an awful infu-
epce over the watery element. He new
or fails to notify the rain gods that he
is about to enter port, and allows them
plenty Of time to stir up the raging tenn
pests, for he would feel i'll at ease were
ais landing not greeted with some out
bursts of recognition by the rain pow
ers.
Three years ago he entered the port
of Philadelphia on one particular occa-
sion. For a whole month not drop or
rain had fallen, and the residents of the
city were praying hard for some small
relief from the expressing heat.
AS the barge entered the harbor
large steamship lifted anchor and al
lowed him to make fast to the wharf
A few newspaper men gathered about
the boat. jotted down the name of the
captain and the cargo he brought in,
and the next day small item appeared
in the papers telling of his arrival, but
not one Of them thought of the godsend
which this little barge brought with 1t.
It was late in the afternoon when the
captain saw all things arranged safely
and repaired to his cabin. When night
came on the stars became overshad-
owed, dark clouds lowered on the hOri-
zon and distant peals Of thunder were
heard. The captain knew then that his
charm had not failed him. Soon the
storm gathered in all its forces and ap-
preached the city to let loose it's fury.
For a full week after the captain land
ed it rained continuously. There were
no more heat prostrations, and the hos
pitfalls discharged their weather pa
tents.
For the last twenty years Captain
Berger has been a regular visitor here
with crossing stones. He generally
comes in the spring or fall. The cap
tain left with his barge last night, and
to-day the sun will be shining in all it's
splendor. He says it rains wherever
he goes.-Wilmingto Morning News.

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

A person contracts a cold, pneu-
monia, rheumatism and pleurisy from
exposure; dyspepsia and liver troubles
from dietary errors and the causes Of
most diseases are easily traceable,
but although 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 sedentary
occupation is by some supposed to be
a predisposing cause, but as a rule
piles and rectal troubles appear with
out apparent 'provocation.
There are many pile salves and oint-
ments which give temporary relief
can afford the expense and is willing
to take the risk, has recourse to a
surgical operation. But there is one
remedy which gives immediate relief
and the regular use of which will
bring about permanent cure and
that is the well known Pyramid Pile
Cure.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
has proven to be the only cure except
dangerous and exceedingly painful
surgical operation, and its advantages
over any kind of operations are many,
as it is painless, causes no interfer-
ence with daily occupation, and being
in the form of suppostory is al
ways convenient and ready for use.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is an ef-
fective combination of soothing oils
and antiseptc acids. 1t contains no
cocaine nor nerve destroying opiates
and unlike most pile salves, contains
no bi,chloride of mercury nor any
injurious drug of any kind
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at 30 cents for complete treat
ment Of the suppositories.
A little book on cause and cure of
piles will be mailed free by addressing

FRANCHISE
Wanted by Steam Heat and Power
Company.
Proposed to Establish 100000 Plant
Here.
Ordinance Granting Franchise Before the Councl-holy
System to be introduced In Akron

Mr. Rowley said the plant proposed
for Akron would cost 100000 at the
start. At first it is intended to sup
ply only the business district of the
city.
Mr.. Rowley read several letters show
ing the success of the system in
Youngstown. He urged that speedy ac.
ton be taken as the company could not
at the best get its pipes within less
than four months from the date oil
their being ordered.
The measure was referred to the Or
dinance committee, and Mr.. Brady
made favorable report upon it, say
ing he had been investigating the pro,
posed system for several days. He
said he understood that the prices to
be charged would make the cost of
heating an 8 room house $40 per year.
Mr.. Rowley confirmed this statement.
Mr.. Brady urged that the company
be required to pay for publishing the
franchise, however, and Mr.. Rowley
said he would see to that. The ordi-
nance thereupon passed its first read
ing.
President Fiebeger objected to pass.
ing the ordinance at once, saying he
believed the council had no moral right
to grant 50-year franchise-that 20
years was long enough; that to grant
one 80 year franchise would establish
a dangerous precedent.
Mr.. Koons said he didn't want any
franchise railroaded through. Mr..
Markle agreed with him.
A motion to pass the ordinance to its
second reading was lost.
The Youngstown men interested with
Mr.. Rowley are stockholders in the
Youngstown company. Mr.. Anderson
is well known attorney and Mr.. Nc
Connell is manager of the Youngstown
Office of the Central Union Telephone
Co.
Local capital will be largely interest
ed in the proposed company,

A company to sell steam heat and
power proposes to begin business in
Akron, as soon as it can secure a fran
chise and install it's plant. 1t is intend
ed to heat business places and resi-
dences at cost of 20 per cent of the
cost when natural gas is used or at a
price proportionately lower than when
coal is used.
A. j. Rowley, Esq, of Akron, and D.
f. Anderson, Esq, and Mr.. Frank G.
Mcconnell of Youngstown. made ap-
plicatiOn TO the City Council Monday
night for franchise for this business.
The ordinance to grant the same was
read. 1t gives the proposed company
the right to use streets, alleys and
bridges for their pipes, under direction
of the city authorities. The usual re-
strictions as to relaying pavements,
ETC., are imposed.
1t is required that the company shall
have its plant in operation within 1S
months OF the franchise shall be for
feited. The life of the franchise shall
be for 90 years.
Mr.. Rowley explained to the Council
that the prospective company's plan is
what is known as the Holly system
now in successful use in Youngstown,
Erie, Pa, and elsewhere. The plant of
the company is located near some large
manufactory, the exhaust steam from
which is used. To this is added one
third part of live steam.
He said a 80 year franchise was
asked for because the original cost of
installing plant of this kind Is two and
one-halr times as large as the cost of
installing a system of pipes for gas,
and the company could not afford to
undertake the work unless it had a

these must be wrapped with asbestos
and boxed and put in the ground at a
depth below all danger of freezing.

John Wells Gets Stiff
Sentence.

John Wells, Thomastown boy, 20
years old and Arthur Craig, aged II,
whose home is on Second ave, in the
Hart allotment, were arrested Mon
day evening by Officers Doerler ana
Bruner, charged with suspicion. 1t
was thought they could throw some
light on the recent burglaries at NIGGA,
dore.
Both boys have police records. A re-
volver was found on Wells and the
charge against him was changed tn
carrying concealed weapons in police
Court Tuesday. He pleaded guilty,
claiming to have found the revolver.
Cartridges which fit it were found in
his room, however.
Mayor Young sentenced him to 30
days in the workhouse and imposed
a tine of $1O0 and costs. This will
keep Wells locked up all spring and
summer.
Craig pleaded not guilty.to a charge
of suspicion. He will have hearing

description of those stolen from Mog-
adore a week ago was found on him.

Mayor Young held that the picture
itself was a gift as represented by the
agent, Mrs. Steinel being charged for
the frame. He said that in cases Of
this kind it was usually useless TO
bring suits for redress for recovery in
the civil courts, and that, not having
