York People Finally Solve the Cues

site.

YORK. Neb.. Nov. 11.-Cspecial)-Corre-
spondents Of some papers criticised the spe-
cial sent in to the Bee stating that the
Young Mems Chistian association building
had been located on the Love lots. Last
nights meeting of the committee confirmed
the location. At the meeting hast night
there were twenty-three out OF twenty-five
of the committee present. Owing to the
different business interests OF many OF the
contributors, there has been considerable
strife in the locating of the building and
at a meeting last week there was filed a
remonstrance by a number of the contrib
utors to the location Of the building on the
Love lots. No attention was paid at that
meeting to the remonstrance and at last
nights meeting. after a thorough discussion
of the advantage of building on the Love
lots nearly all Of the audience as we'll as
the committee were pacihed and believed
that the location was the best.
The building will be a two-story, modern
brick and underneath will be two fine store
rooms. Back of these store rooms will be
a swimming pool and a part of the Y. NJ.
c. a. gymnasium. On the second floor will
be Y. M. C.. A. rooms, a part of gymnasium
and furnished rooms, besides ofices. Plans
will be drawn soon and work commenced.

FIND THE LODGE FUNDS SHORT
william II. TIL Arrested at the tn
stance of workman Lodge
at Humboldt.

HUMBOLDT, Neb., Nov. 11.-(Special.)-
William II. Till, who has been a resident
of Humboldt for many years, and who
is quite well known throughout this part
of the state by reason of his connection
with various secret societies in the ca
pacity of organizer, was arrested last night
at a late hour by Deputy Sheriff Hansell
and taken to Falls City to answer to a
charge Of embezzlement, preferred by the
representatives of Humboldt lodge, No. .,
Ancient Order of United Workmen. Mr..
Till has for the last half dozen years been
1nancier Of the lodge and 1t is asserted
by the committee having the matter in
charge that he is short in his accounts over
5000. Two other orders also suffered at the
hands of Till, the Odd Fellows and knights
and Ladies of Security, but the indebted
ness to the former lodge is secured amply.
In the case Of the knights and Ladies OF
Security, however, Till occupied the posi-
tion OF collector, and the head officers Of
the local council were surprised at the
close Of October to receive a notice from
the national council of the suspension of
the entire lodge on account of non-pay-
ment of dues, to cover the September as
sessment. AS this money had all been
paid by the members to Mr.. Till an inves-
~tigation was at once placed on foot and
the discovery was made that the money had
not been sent away. The October assess
ment had by this time all been collected
with the exception of a few dollars, Upon
which payment was stopped. An ~investi-
cation in this order revealed an alleged
shortage of about $3.50. with only a small
bond to protect the lodge. He is a man
about so years Of age, has a wife and three
children in this city, and has always been
considered straightforward and honest by
his acquaintance, to many OF whom the
prosecution came as a decided shock. He
was engaged in business pursuits in this
city several years ago, but proved unsuc-
cessful in two instances. and since then
has devoted his entire time to work in the
interests Of the secret societies.

STRANGE USE OF HYPNoTISM
Former COnvict Placed Under In
nuence to Test Truth of state
ment Made by Him.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 11.-Hypnotism
has been applied as a test to a former con-
Wet named Miller, a negro who confessed
to the murder of Gugie Bourquin and his
colored body servant.
Miller claimed that he was hired by a
white man to kill Bourquin. His confess
sion has been considered as a pure fabrica-
ton and he was put under hypnotic !lfu-
ence in order to prove or disprove his
strange story.
Miller in his trance said he did not fire
the shots that killed B~ourquin, but that he
heard them and knew who fired them. He
was put into a buggy with two officers and
made to go through with what he alleges
to have been his connection with the
tragedy.
Still in a trance he drove into the coun-
try and pointed out the exact locality
where he claims the shooting occurred.
Miller described infinitely four men who.
according to his story, murdered Bourquin.
Miller is illiterate, being able neither TO
read nor write. His story is not believed
to be true, in spite of its apparent hypnotic
confirmation.

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physicians and Patients alike

DR.. Redmond, a specialist is the study
and treatment OF piles and rectal diseases,
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 relief experienced in all
cases, no matter how severe. from the mo-
ment he remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising to him because he had
carefully analysed 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 IL is rap
idly taking the place of surgical operations
and because II is so simple, so easily ap-
piled and contains no mineral or other
poisons so commonly used in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
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 instant
relief experienced from the first applica-
tion. Another important advantage is the
fact that anyone can use the remedy with
out detention from business or interference
with daily occupation.
Mr.. J. w. Rollins Of Sweet Springs, Mo,
writes: l consider the Pyramid Pile Cure
without an equal; 1t cured me in less hi
80 days. / waited Is days or more to be
sure l was fully cured before writing you:
can now say l am cured and / shall rec
ommend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every
possible opportunity because Il deserves It.
The popularity of this remedy is such
that all druggists now sell 1t at fifty cents
a package, and its sales exceed those OF all
similar remedies combined.

BOLIVIA IN STATE OF SIEGE
People Are Astonished at the Action Of
the Government.
MEET WITH REVERSES IN ACRE
Newspapers Suggest that Purpose Of
Decree May He to AHect senti-
ment in the NeEotia-
lions with hill.

NEW YORK, Nov. i1.-Citizens Of this
city we're astonished Saturday evening, says
a dispatch from La Paz, Bolivia, via Taona,
Chill, when government officials posted
throughout the town placards which de-
clared the whole republic of Bolivia in a
state Of siege, owing to the country being
threatened.
The decree caused intense excitement be-
cause Of the unexpectedness of the an
nouncement and ignorance Of the reason
for the government adopting such a step.
Two rumors we're heard. One was that
the Bolivians had been completely defeated
in Acre. The other report was that 1000
Peruvians were on the frontier near the
Madre De Dios river.
Ell Commerce. De Bolivia prints these Of.
fetal dispatches:

Minister of Bolivia in Brazil.
Ell Commerce. in commenting on the stu
alton says:
The. exact seriousness of the news from
Acre is unknown, but the government must
be in possession Of grave news to take
such measures and to declare a state Of
siege, which appears unnecessary, as the
entire country, without distinction of party
or class, will stand by the government.
Some persons attribute the governments
action to a desire to obtain popularity
and to put an end to the states opposition
to concluding arrangements with Chilli.
These charges we regard as unfounded
and we recommend that the government
make public all news from Acre immedi-
ately after being received.
The government is actively engaged or
g~anizing a new expedition Of 1000 men to
proceed to Acre and is borrowing money
to meet the expenses.
