Only Few Dollars Difference in
the Price For Christy.
is ENTITLED TO HIS RELEASE
But Still Finds It's Impossible
For Him to Meet
Requirements.

.ss Whether Martin P. ChristY of Cilnar-
ron is life prisoner in Jail Or a free
man all depends on whether or not he
can raise a few dollars to pay tie expen-
ses Of himself and an officer to Garden
City,
1t seems impossible that a few dollars
could make that much difference in a
mans condition, but for the past two
weeks Martin Christy's fortunes have
proved that such is the case
Last October Martin Christy was tux
en- from Cimarlon 10 Leavenw0rtll for
trial and pleaded guilty to selling
liquor without posting his special tax
licenses required by the government.
Christy Is an old man In the sixties and
his sentence was light one, merely A
fine of $40, but the costs amounted to
Z nearly SlOO. Christy could not pay the
fine and costs and was returned to Gray
county to be committed until the amount
was paid, The authorities of Gray coun.
ty sent Cliristy to the Ford county jall
and 50 far as the old man could see at the
time he was life prisoner,
Christy took up his own case two
months ago without any legal advice
He wrote to friends, wrote to the United
( States marshal, to the governor of Kan
|lsas and to President Roosevelt The
< letter sent 10 the president was forwarded
Ito the pardon attorney at Washington to
Investigate. Two weeksago instructions
were sent here TINT Chrlsty was entitled
to release but that he must appear per-
sonally before the nearest United Stats
commissioner, who is at Garden City.
This commissioner is entitled to Il fee of
$3 for making out the release. All
Christy bus to do is to prove that he has
served thirty days and is unable 10 pay
his fine. Tie government Is satisfied
with the time Chrsty has served, but as
the commissioner is allowed no mileage
for going to applicants, they must 60 to
him.
In order to get TO Garden City Chlidly
would have to be accompanied by an Of
ficer, and tie officer has no authority to
pay expenses of the trip and Chrlsty can
not raise the cash.
So the old man goes on from day to
day, chatting at his imprisonment, but
making no headway toward Securlng bis
release. II he has any money as some
seem to think, he Is determined not to
use it, and ii he has any friends, he
either refuses to call on them or they re.
fuse to help him.
Whatever Cbristy's shortcomings may
be his case cannot fall TO attract pity.
The fact that lie is an old man, feeble in
body and'nHnd, with only few years
for acts Of either good or evil would |
naturally protect him from any feeling
more harsh, Ii is too bad that old age,
which should be leverel should be found
behind prison bars,
What the feeling toward Christy in
Cimarron may be the GLoBE-REpuBLI.
CAN does not know. If he has friends
there who desire his release, they will
probably secure II as soon as they learn
that 1t is only matter Of few dollars.
His present situation is an unusual one in
cases of The kind. Ordinarily such pris-
0ners are held where there is a U. S.

CHANGE THE LINES.

The Penitentiary Building Commission
met yesterday afternoon at the Capitol
and decided to change the lines for thu
foundation OF the new cell building 80
as to bring 1t thirty feet nearer the pres
ten administration building
The change OF location will not in
crease the expense OF the structure. but
will rather reduce 1t, for the change will
necessitate very much less excavation,
and, in all, reduce the cost about $f500
Work on the foundation on the lines
originally chosen had been begun. but
even allowing for this, money will ba
saved by the change in lines.
There were present at the meeting all
the members of the commission except
Messrs. LeCato and Marcuse.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
The appointment Of Mr.. Theo. Low, Of
this city, to the position OF agent in
charge Of the real estate of the Norfolk
and Western Railway Company, along
the entire system, is very gratifying to
the many friends Of that gentleman. Mr..
Low was form erly superintendent of the
Eastern Division Of the Norfolk and
Western. with headquarters in Peters-
burg, and his court eous manners won him
many friends. His protracted i'll health,
extending through the summer and fall,
caused him to resign this office He will
enter on the duties of his new position
at once.
Mr.. W. T. Hubbard, a well-known citt-
zen and merchant Of the West-End, who
has been in i'll health for some months,
has been taken to Washington for spe-
cial treatment. He spent some weeks at
the Hot Springs hoping for permanent
benefit. but very recently, after his re-
turn, suffered serious relapse.
The remains of young J. Sidney Smith,
who died of appendicitis at Wise County
Courthouse yesterday, will be inferred in

probably take place tomorrow from st.

was a member.

REACHES SEAT OF TROUBLE.
Don't Try to Cure Hemorrhoids
with External Application.

When it is such well-known fact that
hemorrI1oids or piles Is a disease origl-
mating In the morbid dilation of the
veins Of the lower part of the rectum, 1t
seems incredible that people afflicted with
this painful trouble should go on doctor
ing with external salves and washes,
when the diseased parts can only pc
reached by an inward application.
The suppositories used in Pyramid Pile
Cure are composed of tie most soothing
and healing oils and lotions known to
Materia Medica, and act on the diseased
veins and surrounding tissues like magic,
giving almost instant relief. The dilated
blood vessels are relieved, the Irritation
of the mucous membrane ceases, and
bleeding is stopped. -.
The predisposing causes OF piles IS
such as produce fuIlness of the hemer-
rhoidal veins and impede the return OF
blood from Them such as consumption,
5sedentary habits, city life, pregnancy,
corsets, etc; in fact the causes are ~
fully covered in a very Interesting little
