WIFE SUES FOR A DIVORCE.
Mrs. Mary A. Kramer, of This Cit,
plaintiff in an Action

Mrs. Mary A. Kramer, Of This City
Plaintiff in an Action.
Mrs. Mary A. Kramer, of this city, is
plaintiff in an action for divorce in
which Clarence w. Kramer is named as
defendant The plaintiff claims to
have married the defendant in Oska-
loosa on April %, 1899, but has not
lived with him for over a year. She al
leges that after her marriage the de-
PENDANT became addicted to drunken
ness. SO frequent in occurrence that he
became incapacirated from earning a
livelihood for her. Consequently she
claims to have been compelled to earn
her own living. She asks that the court
restore to her her maiden name Mary
A. Morris.
The defendant in the action is resi-
dent of New Sharon and a member of
one OF the prominent families of that
place. He was the son of Charles Kra-
mer. one of the wealthiest men of Ma
haska county. who died about a year
ago. Kramer has been in trouble more
or less for several years, and 1t has
always been traceable to drink. While
a resident of this city, about three
years ago, he was alleged to have COM
mitted an act of forgery while en-
ployed as a bookkeeper for T. S. Bert
rand OF the Northwestern Boarding
Company. His father settled for him
with the City National Bank and Mr..
Bertrand, and no prosecution followed.
Kramer was at one time in a Mexican
prison for crime. and gained his dis
charge thru the efforts of DR.. A. b.
Conway, of this city. who was then
living at New Sharon, and who went
to Mexico to secure his parole.

over to Deputy Sheriff Hutson at Story
City and brought to this city, waived
examination in Justice Burritt's court
this morning, and In default of $1,000

the grand jury.
Andrews intimated in jail Thursday
evening that he was going to put up a
fight in the action pending against him
for criminally assaulting little Fred
Buchanan. When the time for his ar
raignnent this morning approached,
however, he evinced no particular in
terest in the outcome. and did not even
ask to see an attorney, appearing IN
court alone. in the custody OF the sher-
if. This leads those interested in the
case to believe that Andrews does not
realize the enormity of his crime, ana
does not know that the penitentiary
stares him in the sace. if he is found
guilty. The maximum penalty for the
crime is ten years, and the minimum
one. The state was ready with Its Wit
nesses this morning, and had num-
Der of people on hand to show Andrews,

A called meeting of the Waterloo
presbytery was held in this city Thurs
day afternoon at the request of Rev.
F. w. Russell, OF the First Presbyterian
church, who asked that the presbytery
take the formal action, customary in
such cases. and dissolve the relations
ship between pastor and people. Rev.
A. G. Bailey, OF Conrad. acted as
moderator, and Rev. A. r. kiser, of
State Center, as stated clerk.
Rev. Russell made his statement to
the presbytery concerning the cause
for his request, and told of his call
from the church at Boulder, Col. Mr..
William Bremner, for the church, an
swered. expressing the regret that was
universally felt because Of his depart
ure. The presbytery then voted to
grant the request and furnished Rev.
Russell with letter of dismissal to
the Boulder session. The presbytery
voted its appreciation of Rev. Russell's
work in relation to the presbytery, and
in the letter of dismissal embodied
another to the Boulder session, con-
tanning the resolutions passed.

vide moderator for the session until

IRRITATING TROUBLE QUICKLY
OVERCOME.
IL You Only Find Out the Right Course
to Pursue.

Many physicians who advertise TO
cure piles, without the aid of the knits,
simply use Pyramid Pile Cure rem
edies. They do so because they know
1t is the best medicine for obtaining
q proper combination of the most sci
entific ingredients for the cure OF plies.
Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an eX !
detrimental stage, but is an established
remedy and is recognized and used by
the best physicians in the country.
Being in suppository form, 1t reaches
the trouble at once and the heahnS
process is quick and effective: lmmedl-
ate results are obtained, and before
the patient realizes the, fact he has
recovered from the pain, suffering and
irritation which this trouble causes.
Children who suffer from this pain
ful trouble, obtain relief at once. 1t
Is well with very young child to re-
duce the size of the suppository before
using. Howerever if children are af
fitcted with piles, they should be treat
ed without delay or the trouble may
become chronic Hundreds Of little
ones have been cured with Pyramid
Pile Cure.
The prevention of piles is better than
the cure and they can be prevented if
only people would look to the regular
ity Of the bowels and not become con-
stipated. Constipation and its attend
ant Ills can be avoided by the use of
Pyramid Pills. The proprietors of the
Pyramid Pile Cure saw that it was
necessary to use with the majority of
their patients mild, non Irritating
laxative. and the Pyramid Pills for
constipation were the result of much
careful thought and patient inyesti-
CATION. Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyra-
mid Pills are sold by druggists every
where for fifty and twenty i've cents
per package.
A little book on the nature and cure
OF hemorrhoids or piles will be fur
nished froee upon application to the

Makes Request to See Judge
This Afternoon and Says
He Will Tell All
MORNING CONFERENCE is HELD
Sentence Again Postponed Until satur-
day Morning at o'eloek-BaII Tells
Sheriff, City Marshal and Mr.. Harri-
gan That He Was Aione-Dr. Payne
Lends Influence to Have Him Make
Clean Breast.

AT fourteen minutes of 8 o'clock this
afternoon owen Ball, the boy convicted
of the burglary of the Bee Hive store,
walked into the office of Judge Caswell
where he was escorted by Deputy
Sheriff Seth Cause. the conference
lasted until after O'Clock, but what
passed between his honor and the pris-
oner will not be. known until tomorrow
morning at 8 o'clock, the time that has
now been set for the sentence.
Young Ball told DR.. VIC. Payne, who
has been greatly interested in him,
shortly before he left the Jail for the
court house, that he would tell the
Judge all. After this, however, the OFF,
GERS think that he will not, and that he
viii. hold out with that stolid indiffer-
ence which has become characteristic
of him, and insist that he was alone in
his crime.
Ball had a long conference this morn
ing with Sheriff Shoemaker, City Mar
shall Nicholson and Mr.. j. Il. Harrigan,
at the Jail. He admitted again that he
was the guilty one, and maintained,
thru cross Questioning of the most per-
sistent nature, that he was alone. He
said that he had ganbled great deal,
had spent his money recklessly, but
that most Of 1t was made gambling.
Names of parties mentioned by the Off
GERS as being suspected of being his ac-
completes were laughed at by Ball, who
said they had nothing whatever to do
with the case.
Just what will be the outcome OF the
conference with Judge Caswell this aft
ternoon is a problem. Some think that
Ball viii finally tell the Judge every
thing and give up the names OF his ac-
completes. Others feel that he will be
firm to the last and tell nothing more
than already known. 1t is the last
chance he will have. and If ever a pris-
oner was dealt with leniently before
sentence, Owen Ball has been. There
are very few who would be convicted
OF crime and even given the chance
to explain. His friends who have his
future at heart hove tried to prevail up
on him to make a clean breast, in order
to have lenfency extended him at 3 to-
morrow morning. when sentence will be
passed.
