siding with his mother on Mill street,

wanna railroad tracks near Monroe

the unconscious form. The man WAS
picked up ana carried to one side of

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physician and Patient Alike.

DR.. Redmond. a specialist in the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
eases. recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure. the new discovery for the
cure of piles, was the most remarkable
remedy he had ever seen or tried in one
respect: and that was the instant re-
lief experienced in all cases, no matter
how severe, from the moment the remedy
was applied this was the more SUR
prising to him. because he had care
fully analyzed the preparation and no
trace of opium. cocaine or similar
poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is
rapidly taking the place of surgical
operations and because it is SO simple,
so easily applied. and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly used
in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile cure not only cures the
various forms of piles. but never fails
to give immediate relief on the first
application, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
=
application. Another important advan-
tage IL the fact that anyone can use
the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation.
Mr. j. W. Rollins. of Sweet Springs,
Mo-, writes: / consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal: it cured
me in less than so days. [ waited IL
days or more tn be sure l was fully
cured before writing you; can now
say / am cured and | shall recon-
mend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every
possible opportunity because it deserves
il.
The popularity of this remedy is such,
that all druggists now sell it at fifty
cents package. and its sales exceed
those of all similar remedies combined.
Write Pyramid Drug Co, Marshall,
Mich. for their book on cause and cure
of piles.

MURPHY WAS DEAD in BED
AN OLD SOLDIER PASSES AWAY SUD-
DENLY ON DOwNEY STREET.
He Had boarded for Many Years with
Mrs. McCOoI-Death of Mrs.
Daggett.

Patrick Murphy. an old soldier who was
a familiar figure about the city during the
summer months peddler, found
dead IN his bed yesterday morning by his
landlady. Mrs. Ellen McCool. 10 Downey
street. She said Murphy had been COM
planning during Saturday night Of having
severe headache. She served him a cup of
coffee at o'clock and he remained in bed.
He said Re did not feel like rising, as
cold. which had troubled him for several
days, was yet bothering him. Mrs. McCool
said that after she gave Murphy the coffee
she left the house and went to ST. Patrick's
Church on Woodlawn avenue. After mass
she returned to the house and went i'm
mediately to Murphys room to see if he
needed anything. but found him as in a
peaceful sleep, cold in death.
Mrs. McCool was greatly agitated when
she learned that the man was dead and
was at first unable to understand the
cause. The coroner was called. He thought
Death was due to heart disease. 1t was
learned that Murphy was a man who saved
money he earned i'm summer by his peddling
and gave ii TO Mrs. McCool as compensa-
ton for looking after him. He is said to
have had no drinking propensities and was
of a quiet disposition.
Murphy was siXty-nine years old. He was
born in Ireland and came to this country
when he was eighteen years old. He settled
in New Hampshire. When the civil war
broke out Murphy enlisted in the Seventh
New Hampshire regiment and served
through the four years of the war. At the
close he came West. He had been boarding
with Mrs. MCCOOl for twenty years All
his relatives died some years ago. For in
juries which he received during the war
he drew a pension of ST. a month, which
he also gave TO Mrs. McCool. The funeral
will be held tomorrow morning and will be
in charge of Renihan x Blackwell.

During the Week.

The Council committee on contracts and
franchises will meet evening early I'm
this week 10 consider the Indianapolis
Southern Railroad franchise ordinance and
the ordinance granting the Shelbyville. e.
Southeastern Traction Company the use or
the city streets. The meeting will be held,
according TO Chairman Negley Tomorrow
Wednesday evening.
That the franchise granted by the Board
of Works TO the Southern Company and
embodied i'm the ordinance presented to
Council at the last meeting will be ap-
proved by the committee is a foregone con-
clusion. Chairman Negley states that he
has examined the franchise carefully and
that he finds nothing I'm IL that is objec-
tionable. 1t will no doubt be recommended
for passage. he says.
The Shelbyville electric line contract will
also be approved by the committee. The
Shelbyville line withdrew from the COM
pact entered into by a number of the inter-
urban companies and manifested q desire
to sign a contract along the same lines as
the one made with the city by the Union

MAYOR DUNLAP, OF ANDERSON.
He viii Not BE N Candidate for Re-
nomination.

Mayor Dunlap. of Anderson, stopped in
the city for a short time last night on his
way home from Franklin, where he had
been spending the day. Mayor Dunlap
will not be candidate for denomination
for mayor of Anderson this year. He has
had quite enough of municipal honors. The
mayor of Anderson is also the police judge,
and. as Mr.. Dunlap expresses it, he has to
give Just enough time 10 the office TO pre-
vent him accomplishing much in any other
line of work. Mayor Dunlap is not sore
over his defeat for the congressional nOmi-
nation in the Eighth district, and he thinks
his friends will support the nominee
George w. Cromer. He believes there is no
doubt of Mr. Cromer's reelection. The
mayor says il is possible that he may be a
candidate for the congressional nomination
in TWO years.
on the business future OF Anderson Mr..
Dunlap is enthusiastic. He says that last
year was the best Anderson ever had for
the erection of first-class buildings. and
contractors say that the present season
looks promising.

TALK WITH NINE OPERATOR.


sentative Miers Is Diplomat.
Job Freeman, an extensive mining oper-
ator OF Linton. and a Republican leader of
the Second district. was in Indianapolis
last night on his way to LoganspOrt. He
takes little stock in Representative Mierss
announcement that he has withdrawn from
the race for the congressional nomination
in the Second district, and thinks that
Miers will be renominated. He says Miers
is something of a diplomat and he thinks
his withdrawal from the race al this time
is part of the game to secure the renomina-
ton. Mr. Freeman is of opinion that if
Afiers is not renomlnated his friends will
knife his successful opponent at the polls.
Ii is the belief of Republicans of the Sec
Ond district that Mierss defeat for the re-
nomination will greatly strengthen the Re
publican candidates chances of winning in
the district The Republican candidate will
in all probability be Judge CLANCY, of Sui
Ivan. Cyrus Davis, one of Miers's oppo-
nenJs Is a mining operator in modest
way. although he does not work at the

man I'm one of the mines which the latter
operates. 1t is said of Davis that, although
he might be termed a mining operator him
self he was the worst enemy the operators
mad i'm the last Legislature.
Mr.. Freeman says the operators and min
ers will meet at Terre Haute again Wednes-
day and at this meeting they will prob
ably reach an agreement as to matters con-
nected with work In the mines of this State.
justed is the question of a weekly pay day,
which the miners have demanded. The OPP
orators have been paying off every two
weeks and they desire that this custom

such a place Allen. who is employed as a
janitor in a South Illinois-street saloon
has leased a number of rooms at 21S West
Merrill street. He was there last night, in
company with his visitors. and all were
having a loud and boisterous time when
Patrolmen Kearney and Dolby, who were
passing, walked up TO the rooms and con-
fronted the crowd. The sight of the po-
licemen frightened two of the men and
they jumped through a window. One OF
the men, Thomas Jackson, who said he
was a coachman, is a cripple and could not
get away after he had jumped, and the
police had no trouble in later finding him.
The other man got away.
