PRETTY GIRL OF EIGHTEEN STAN
PEDES SIOUX CITY CON-
VENTION
SOLICITED VOTES HERSELF
Seven Other Candidates in the Field
All Looked Like Selling PIaters
When the Vote Was
Taken.

SIOUX CITY, March 2O.-A pretty, blue
eyed, brown haired girl OF eighteen,
Miss Louise Marie Skogerson, swept the
Republican city convention off it's feet
yesterday afternoon, and II delegates
shouted themselves hoarse nominating
her crippled father, o. Skogerson, for
superintendent of markets. There were
six other candidates, but they had no
more show of getting that humble $50
a-month position from the father Of the
truly pretty girl who smiled and smiled
on the delegates as she asked them mod
estly to vote for her father, than they
could Of being president of the United
States.
While the convention was yet voting
for police judge, she appeared, and began
distributing printed tickets with her IA
theirs name-the only woman in the
damned and crowded room. Her form
was followed by the delegates as she
went quickly up and down the benches,
and all interest was lost in the police

When the seven nominees for superin-

convention, Miss Skogerson was still
moving about among the delegates The
first ward divided its vote. The second
cast all but two for her father. She
stopped short in the aisle, her arms
akimbo, and watched the voting The
third ward chairman called out, "twen-

broke into cheers, and the blue-eyed girl,
her eyes dancing, clapped her hands.
The fourth split, but Skogerson got the
big end. The fifth sixth, seventh and
eighth went solid for Skogerson, and

DANGEROUS SURGERY
Should BE the Last Resort.

Many people suffer from piles, because
after trying various lotions salyes and
Otntments without relief or cure. thew
come to the conclusion that a surgical
operation is the last resort, and rather
than submit to the shock and risk to life
of an operation, prefer to suffer on; very
often, however, the afflicted one is over
persuaded to resort to the knife and even
though the operation IS apparently sue
cessful and there is complete recovery
from the shock incident thereto, the re-
suit is invariably the same; the piles
sooner or later return, because their
cause has not been removed. This result
is a logical one, inasmuch as the knife
removes the effects Of the disease only,
while the cause remains as before. There
IS claimed to be remedy which does re-
move the cause, hence eradicating the
disease, and that is the Pyramid Pile
Cure; it is in the form Of a suppository,
Is applied directly to the parts affected,
and brings about a complete cure, quiet
ly and painlessly. In this connection the
testimony. Of Mr.. John Cullen Bryant.
the well known bookseller Of Haverhiu,
Mass, is of unusual interest.

but purely voluntary testimonial in favor
of Pyramid Pile Cure. I have suffered
for more than twenty years with hemorr-
holds and have consulted numerous phv-
SlClaHS anu t8peuueu great zeal OF mon
ey for medicines that did me no good.
I had often seen Pyramid Pile Cure ad-
vertised, but hesitated for months before
buying same, thinking it a patent or
quack remedy that had no merit; but
having tried every other remedy prescrib-
ed, I was finally persuaded one year ago
TO try Pyramid Pile Cure. 1 bought a
hfty cent package at the drug store, and
while I may not be permanently cured.
the past year has been the only year OF
my life worth living during the past
twenty years, and nothing but the Pyra-
mid remedies have wrought this change.
I offer this testimony for the benefit OF

POLITICAL FIGHT LIVELY
FIVE CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR
AFTER A CONVENTION SPLIT.
Special to The Globe.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, March 90
Two Republican conventions were held in
this city; one nominated Fred S. Parker
mayor, for another term, and the other
nominated Hervy w. Dietrich, former
mayor for the Office. The two conVen-
tions were the result of the fractional
fight that has been on in the Republican
party in the city ever since the fight two
years ago. when Parker was nominated
over Dietrich, after two conventions had
been organized.
Today in the regular convention Diet
rich had 5O1a votes, with Parker having
201a votes. When the credentials commit
tee reported on the delegates entitled to
seats in the convention the fight began.
The ParkeTites submitted a minority re-
port throwing out the delegations from
four wards on the ground that none of
the delegations had received a ma jOrity
vote in the caucus. They had received
pluraities, and the fight was on this tech
nicaIity.
The Parker element was voted down,
ard left the hall and organized another
convention. Parker was named for may
or, NJ. p. Schmitt for treasurer, and
Charles Andreen for comptroller.
The Dietrich forces remained in the
convention hall and named Dietrich for
mayor, r. L. Hunter for treasurer, and
A. ReedfCrs for comptroller. Both con-
ventiOns named A. r. Mills for assessor.
Five candidates are now in the field be-
sides the two nominated today. They are
J.. S. Konkel, independent; James H.
Agen, independent; Charles O'Hare, Dem
ocrat.
