ON FORGED PARDONS.
Four Military Prisoners Are
Released at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Oct. 13.-James II.
Darling, Joseph White, Cornelius Coj1es

authorities on pardons which 1t is now
discovered were forged. These fraudu-
lent pardons We're sent through the or

not yet solved, but it is believed the in

serve. They were set at liberty October
n, and were landed in this city on the
government steamer General Mcdowell.

these forgeries, the official stamps of

DIED OF BROKEN HEART.
J. C. Hull Falls Dead Beside His
Brothers Coffin.

New York, Oct 13.-Johnson Chase
Hull, the Oldest letter carrier in New
York, and possibly in the country, has
fallen dead while standing beside the
coffin containing the body of his brother
William, at the latters home in Brook
Ign. The doctors say he died from a
broken heart.
William Hull was 80 years old and
a retired merchant. His brother john
son was two years younger, and the
two had been inseparable during their
long span of life. Despite his years
Johnson was accounted one of the best
letter carriers in the service, into which
he celebrated recently the forty-ffth
anniversary of his entry. He was fond
of declaring he would live a score Of
years more and he often put on the
gloves for a boxing bout with the
younger men in the Brooklyn postoffice.
The death of his brother was hard
blow and he grieved deeply over his
loss At the close of the funeral ser
vices he arose from his chair beside the
coffin and, speaking in low voice.
babe farewell to his brother. You We're
first to 60" he said; my summons
can not come too SOON The old mans
voice broke. he threw up his hands and
sank to the floor dead.

VITAL FORCE
Is Crushed by Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening, under
mining troubles. which mankind is heir
to is hemorrhoidS or piles. The victim
is careless and neglectful of the disease
at first because the pain IS slight and
the bleeding may only occur occasional
ly, or he may be treasured by the occa-
sional disappearance of the symptoms.
And vet if at the very start he had
found rational remedy to sootne the
inflammation, he would probably never
have had return of this Irritating
malady.
Piles may develope at any season of
the year. and at almost any age or the
victim; the abuse of cathartics often
causes this trouble. and a period ar
rives when the dread of pain at stool
becomes so great that the sufferer be-
gins to neglect the calls of nature, and
the bowels are either forced to retain the
feces or are only partially cleared, on
account of the suffering attendant upon
a Thorough movement
Before you reach this stage use rem
edy which removes the cause, thereby
Graduating the disease, and that is the
Pyramid Pile Cure which is sold by all
druggists at fifty cents a package; 1t is
in the form of a suppository, is applied
directly to the parts affected and brings
about a complete cure, quickly and
painIessly. A valuable little book on
the cause and cure of piles Is published
by the Pyramid Drug Co, Marshall,
Mich. and we advise every sufferer to
send for a copy of it.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important adj
vantage is the fact that anyone can use
the remedy without detention from bus1-
ness or interference with daily occupa-
ton.
Il feel it my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
of Piles, I am entirely cured, thanks to
this remedy. Anyone doubling this can

street. Cleveland. Ohio

GOVERNOR IS COLD.
New Executive Heating Plant
Isn't Ready for Business.

few days ago when the state auditor
held up some of the bills for two of the
state charitable institutions because
they showed that coal had been pur-
chased in the open market for the in
situations, Governor Bailey wrote War
den Jewett of the penitentiary, asking
why the penitentiary had not furnished
coal for the institutions, as required by
law. He has just received lengthy re-
port from Warden Jewett in reply
Mr.. Jewett says that if any of the
state institutions have had to purchase
coal 1t has been because of one of two
reasons: Either it has not been ordered
from the penitentiary soon enough to
allow sufficient time for securing cars
and getting it to its destination or else
it has been DELAYED on the road Mr.
Jewett believes that the penitentiary
mines will be able to keep the state in
situations running all right If the coal
is ordered long enough ahead to cover
all delays before the supply runs en-
ficult to obtain cars from the railroads
to make prompt shipments, and this
must be taken into consideration as well
as the delays that may happen along the
road.
The purchases of coal by state insti-
buttons has been very small. The sol
diers' orphans home at Atchison pur-
chased about five tons and the girls
industrial school at Beloit about the
same amount.
Il think the trouble is partly caused
by the Institutions themselves waiting
until the last thing before ordering
COAL said Governor Bailey today. THE
coal Stacks by standing and the institu-
| lions want the best coal they can get,
so they wait as late in the summer as
possible before beginning to lay in d
supply.
II know the coal Stacks badly and it
! is impossible to carry a stock through
i the summer, because I have had eXper
! fence with it the past summer. Last
spring we had considerable left over at
the executive residence. 1t was first
class coal then but now it has Stacked
until it is just fine coal dust.
IF the matter could be regulated so
that the orders would go into the pen
! itentiary regularly and not all in
| bunch I do not believe there would be
any trouble about it. Instead all of the
dozen or so institutions wait until cold
weather is nearly here, so as to avoid
accommodating a lot of slack coal. and
then all the orders go in together
Incidentally the tie-up of business on
the railroads is making trouble at the gov
errors residence. The old heating plant
was torn out several weeks ago to in
stall the new one provided for by the last
| legislature, but the boilers for the new
plant have not arrived
1.-The only heat we have is the little We
get out of the CRATES in some of the
rooms" said the governor today. The
new boilers are tied up somewhere Ell
route to Topeka and nobody seems to
Workmen have had the house torn up for
several weeks putting in the new heating
plant and the pipes are now all cut and
ready if only the boilers would come

AMERICANS VS.. NATIONALS.
In Post-Season Series the Former
Have Proven Best Players.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-No matter how the
remaining games between the Pittsburg
and Boston champions and between the
White Sox and the Cubs result, the
American league cannot lose on the
aggregate number of games won in the
various post-season games.
To date the American league has won
twenty-siX games and lost nineteen,
and the figures are, of course, reversed
in the National leagues case. These
totals include the two games which the
St. Louis Nationals lost to the Cleve-
land Americans, but as these four were
evenly divided between the two leagues
they need not be made to figure.
Cleveland, by winning one of the
games of the double header from Gin
cinnati Sunday, took the championship
of Ohio, and the proportion stands to
3. The Philadelphia clubs We're TO have
finished Saturday, but as the game was
prevented by poor weather and as the
managers agreed to call the games at
an end, the Athletics take the series,
4 to 3. This rather evenS up for the
spring series, in which the Phillies won
four out of five. Spring series, how
ever do not count in the extra season
games.
Boston with four won. has yet to get
only one victory to clinch the series
and the worlds championship. If Pitts
burg wins today the series will be tied,
and a win Wednesday for the Pirates
will give Dreyfuss' band the coveted
worlds honors.
In Chicago the series stands: Cubs S,
White Sox 5. Even if the Cubs take
the next two games, which will end the
local series by giving them the neces-
Sssry eight and even if PittSburg wins
the next two from Boston, the National
leagues total of games won will be
only twenty three, as against twenty
five for the American.
So to date. with three series out of
I've fl7o for. win
ming at least one of the remaining two.
and with the impossibility of equaling
the American leagues total of games
won staring the National league mag
mates in the face, President Ban John
son and his colleagues of the younger
organization may be pardoned for feel
ing pleased over the situation.
AMERICANS ARE BEST.

GROSS FRAUDS UNEARTHED
Causing the Withdrawal from Entry
of Large Body OF Land.

Butte. Mont, Oct. ia special to the
Miner from Great Falls says that the
Great Falls land office today received
instructions from Washington to with
draw from entry under the desert land
law all lands in the district lying south
of the Missouri river. The order affects
approximately 100000 acres. The Off
cials were also instructed to suspend,
pending investigation, all desert entries
ilnon which patents have been issued.
These orders are the result of a report
made by Special Agent Chadwick who
was recently sent to this city by the
interior department to investigate the
charges that gross frauds were being
committed in this district. The report
is said to have been a sensational one,
sustaining practically every charge
made by United States Senator Gibson
of Montana.

Old Fashioned Revival Failure.

New York, Oct 13.-At a meeting of

work on the East side in this city, num-

is successful only when they introduce
continuation classes for the children.
E,vangelistic work along the old lines

leading workers declared that parents
like to dress their children in white and
have them received in the church in
classes. This has been arranged, they
said, by exercises interpolated with
questions from the catechism.
