TOO GREAT EXPENSE.
NOT the Reason.


It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure
Is so expensive that many people de-
cline to give 1t trial, but because they
find ii too great tax on their Credulity
to believe that the published letters
bearing testimony to the merit of this
remedy are genuine and bona fide; es-
pecially to those who have realized the
suffering incident to piles is 1t incredi-
BILE that anyone who has been afflicted
twenty-five and thirty years with the
worst forms of protruding and bleeding
piles should be cured by the application
of simple remedy, when their physi-
clan has assured them that the only
relief is in a surgical operation. This
is rightfully viewed with dread by all
those afflicted, as it means at the least
great shock to the nervous system
with more than a possibility of utter
collapse and death; in the majority Of
cases. too, there is return of the COM
plaint, owing to the fact that the cause
Is not removed.
The propretors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to
anyone who will show a single publish
ed testimonial to be not genuine and
unsolicited; this latter feature is most
are written solely out of gratitude, and
with the hope that those who are af-
nicted as the writer's have been may
learn that relief Is at hand. at a COM
paratively trinlng expense. Pyramid
Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at
fifty cents a package, or will be mailed
by the makers to any address upon re-
ceipt of price.
Mr.. Wm Licktenwalter, head of the
largest printing house in Canton, Ohio,
says: 1T is with the utmost pleasure
and satisfaction that ] can say 1 be-
lieve 1 am cured of protruding and
bleeding piles, after suffering more than
twenty.fi five years. 1 have been in bed
for two weeks at a time. I have not
suffered in the least for over a year.
and I, used only three fifty cent boxes
of Pyramid Pile Cure. I advise every
person suffering with this distressing
and painful complaint to give this
remedy trial. / have every confidence
in it," Write the Pyramid Drug Co.,

this city in time for their evening meal,
took late suppers last night. None of
them reached this city until nearly
o'clock. The train that arrives here
just after 8 o'clock and the other that
follows an hour later came in directly
after each other. The cause of the de-
lay was a washout near the steel mill
in South Scranton, which is fully re-
ported in the local columns of today's
Tribune.
The belated arrival of these trains
caused the last train for Honesdale

FOUR MEN HELD UP
ROBBED AND BEATEN
a Brutal Happening in Mayfield.
The Highway Men Use a Coupling
Pin as a Weapon-one, Thomas
Ruddy, Arrested-The Others Skip.

A daring and successful hold-up is re-
ported from the usually quiet borough
of Mayfield.
The story that is told by the victim is
that four young men of that place We're
uut on a lark on Friday afternoon.
While they We're in Il restaurant four
Italians entered and in buying drinks
exhibited sood-sized punches of green
backs. The eyes of the four young
men whose money was played out grew
covetous and as of one thought
left the house of refreshments and
walking TO the vicinity of the Catho-
lie cemetery awaited the coming of the
quartettc of foreigners as they We're
aware that the route the latter would
take led by this lonely spot An hour
CT so of waiting and their victims We're
sighted. The four young men called in
to use a railroad coupling pin. They
soon had their purpose accomplished
as the foreigners We're scared and beat
out to the tune of forty-seven dollars
and the aggregate amount secured was
one hundred and twenty dollars.
The robbers then made their escape
and prepared to finish liquidating their
Mayfeld and laid information before
Chief Of Police Thomas Holleran who
at once telcphoned TO this city and Jer-
myn notifying the police to keep Il
lookout for the four men who were
identified by their victims. One of the
latter came to this city and SWore out
warrants for the arrest of the four and
the warrants were placed in the hands
,f ,r.t III 4
at once to the scene. He succeeded
in capturing one of the four. Thomas
Ruddy. who was taken to the Jail in
this city. The other three made their
escape leaving no clue as to their
whereabouts.
The men who We're held UP gave the
names of their assailants as Dennis and
Brian Brady, Thomas Ruddy and
James Sullivan.
Ruddy was given a hearing before
Alderman Jones and held in bail for
his appearance at court. The bail was
not Forthcoming and he was taken to
the county Jail yesterday afternoon.
The four Italians presented bat
tered appearance in Alderman Jones'
office. One had suffered a fracture of
three ribs and injuries on the head. He
was taken to Emergency hospital. An
other had his face terribly battered.
Both eyes were discoored. and the side
OF his face. around the ear was badly
gashed. The other ESCAPED with but
minor bruises as they had ran for
safety when the chance was offered
them.
The four young men implicated in the
unfortunate affair are we'll known in
this city Ruddy, who was taken, has
always enjoyed Il good reputation.
