He felt rather foolish and backed to-

said, stiff1y.
But Carita, who had overheard the

She ran lightly up the stairs, futter-

Lee Waldron was #smitten; though he
would not acknowledge it: but Edith
Madison met him very often in the
hall, and he always had something to
say, while Carita took a great interest
in her, and invited her to her apart
nents.
Then they learned that she was an
orphan, and poor as the proyerbial
church mouse. . She was studying for
the stage, to which she hoped her APP
pearanee in amateur theatricals would
help her, because she must earn her
own living, and every one told her that
she had talent
Lee Waldron believed that she had
talent. too; but he could not bear the
thought of her following a public life
Already he was jealous of her art
He thought night and day of the

What was that roaring and cracking

He sprang up and made a tasty

appeared, pale and wiid-eyed.

The hall door was open, and the
smoke was pouring through in thick,

Half distracted Lee folded wet
towel over the lower part of his face,
and went out, stumbling over a pros
trate form at the head of sthe stairs.
By that time the flames were burst
ing up the staircase and the wooden
rails were cracking.
He bore his burden back to the WIN
dow, paused to draw full breath and
began a descent
The lurid flames leaped around him
as he went down step by step, and the
limp form of the young girl hung

ground was reached and then Lee fell
forward, burned and unconscious.
When Edith Madison awoke to a
realization of her surroundings she
was in Carita Hathaway's new home
Lee had sustained severe injuries, and
Edith insisted upon waiting upon him.
When the night came for her to
make her first in,
her new friends went to see her, and
after the performance, in which the
young actress scored a great success,
Lee took her away almost before any

SHOOTS HIS RIVAL
IN JEALOUS RAGE
John Peta Is Seriously and
Possibly MortaIIy Wounded
by Pedro Ngoto..

John Peta, an Italian living at 400
Fourth street north was probably fatally
shot at 1880 last night by Pedro Vigoto,
another Italian, who escaped.
Jealousy is assigned as the cause of the
deed. Peta lives with Rose Colloni, who
claims to be his wife. Vigoto was her
former sweetheart and bad blood existed
between him and Peta Vigoto vowed re-
venge on Peta, and last night when Peta
went into the back yard of his home on
Fourth street to get wood Vigoto shot at
him three times, each shot taking effect.
He was struck in the left shoulder, cheek
and abdomen, and may die.
He was removed to the city hospital
and placed on the operating table, where
physicians probed for the bullets. Two
of the wounds are of superficial nature
but the third in the abdomen, may cause
his death.
Peta and Rose Colloni came to Mime
apolis from Perth Amboy, N. J., two
years ago. The woman is said to have a
husband living at that place. Vigoto also
loved the woman, and when the couple
left ne followed them, arriving in Mime
apolis last spring.
Peta managed to escape after the shoot
ing and the police of the Twin Cities are
looking for him. Police of the Prior ave-
nue. precinct are watching every car from
Minneapolis. and if Vigoto attempts to
go to st. Paul he will be caught.
Vigoto lives at PIT Fifth avenue north.

S. Rosenthal & Co., the largest i'm
porters Of Japanese silks in the United

pended examiner of silks. attached to
the. United States appraisers stores,
were today convicted in the United
States circuit court of conspiring to

silks. The jury made a strong recon-
mendatfon of mercy on behalf of Cohn.
Counsel gave notice of motions for new
trials and arrest of Judgment, and also
stated that appeals would be taken to
the United States court of appeals.
Judge Thomas, in view of the high
standing of the defendants, and, as he
said. in further view Of the fact that
they had presented themselves for trial
ready to submit to the Judgment of
the court, permitted the convicted men
to go on their own recognizances until
Thursday next when they are ordered
to appear to renew their bonds, Brown
having been held in $500 and Cohn in
$500 sureties.
1t is said that the conviction of Cohn
and Brown will have the effect of Sc
curing the immediate arrest of Abra-
ham S. RoSenthaI & Co., and who is
said to be sick in Europe and whose
bail of $4,000 was declared forfeited
by Judge Roberts after his failure to
appear for trial.

Stock raising on ranges in Minnesota
is somewhat on the decline, the BUSH
ness apparently giving way, by slow
degrees, to the pursuits Of more thickly
settled communities. The annual esti-
mate Of the number and value of live
stock in the United States has just
been completed by the statistician of
the department of agriculture. Accord
Ing to this estimate the number Of

was smaller on Jan. than on the same
date of 1903.
The classification, "other cattle" is
given to distinguish from mich COWS,
which are enumerated under a sepa-
rate heading. The number of horses
and mich cows in Minnesota increased
during the last year, but these animals
are, of course. found in great numbers
OF the ranges and in and near large
cities. The theory, therefore, that the
catte-range industry is on the wane
owing to rapid settlement of the state.

In the newer states of North and

bers increased, there was in some cases

Instances are known Of farmers hav-

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has it ever been your unhappy lot to be
told by your physician that you must go to
a hospital and submit to an operation? If
so. you remember with what dread and
shrinking you awaited the day when you
must endure the knife.
The present day surgeon appears to be
possessed by mania for operating, espe-
cially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and
while the greater number of the profession
do not recommend this "last resort" unless
they honestly believe it necessary, the fact
remains that much needless operating is
done, and the patient put to much expense
and suffering-for what?
To obtain a possible temporary relief
these words are used advisedly, because in
nine cases out of ten the affection returns
and the patient is just where he started
from. Oftentimes he could be cured much
more simply and easily by the use of such
a remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure: this
has come to be recognized as the best
remedy on the market for the painful dis
ease named, and the druggists now sell
more of it than all other pile remedies
combined.
The writer personally knows people who
were afflicted with the worst form of
bleeding and protruding piles and who
were permanently cured by the use of
Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of these
cases the attending physician had as
sured the sufferer that only by an opera
tion could he rid himself of the disease:
so much for the infallibility of the doctors.
This remedy, which is sold by all drug
gists at the low price of fifty cents, is in
suppository form. is applied directly to the
parts affected, and performs it's work
quietly. and painlessly. The Pyramid
Drug Co.. Marshall Mich, will mail free
to any address a book telling all about
piles or hemorrhoids. their cause and cure
is afflicted, or knows anyone who is. this
book be sent for, as 1t will be found in
valuable.
