SAD STORY OF A STRICKEN FAMILY

A raving maniac created excitement at the
transfer depot yesterday morning when the
Union Paclflc-Northwcstcrn train arrived
here from the west. Ho was a passenger in
charge of two keepers , but escaping their
.vigilance ho rushed from the sleeping car
and started on a wild run through the rail
road yards In the direction of the river.
The attendants followed the madman and
finally overtook and carried htm back to the
train. He will be confined In a private
asylum for the Incurable Insane at Chicago ,
and thereby hangs a story of the mental
downfall of a whole family , the chapters of
which are drawing to a close with the passIng -
Ing of this Individual.
Moro than a quarter of a century ago
Charles Wiley Crandall was , a prosperous
young merchant In Elkhart , Ind. About this
tlmo he was married to a very popular so
ciety belle of Louisville , Ky. , and removed
to Logan , Utah , with his bride , where he
I settled. The result of the union was three
children , the eldest of whom , a daughter ,
grew ui > to be an unusually lovely girl. Both
[ of the sons gave promise of robust man
hood during their earlier years , but In the
young boy first developed the malady which
has since caused so much grief and havoc
In the family.
The Crandalls had lived In Cogan about
eight years when Mrs. Crandall died. About
this time the younger boy developed symp
toms of a frequent lapse of memory and
nervous troubles. He was sent to a retreat
In Salt Lake City for treatment , hut his
condition grow worse , so that he finally lost
h'.a reason and died.
About two > ears later Crandall's surviving
sou fell a victim. One day he complained
of a bursting headache and the next mornIng -
Ing his mind had been totally dethroned.
Ho was sent by his father to the asylum
for the Insane at Mount Pleasant , la. The
death of this child caused Crandall to go
d stracted with grief. He took the body back
j to Logan , where It was Interred In the little
cemetery there beside the remains of the
I boy's mother and brother.
i Crandall was prosperous as a business
man. his Interests having been extended
from those of a mere country merchant to
productive Investments In valuable mining
properties. He had sent his daughter to a
boarding school in Salt Lake City and there
Is where she was stricken. Every possible
care aim attention that the medical profes
sion and money lavishly spent could pro
vide availed nothing. Before she could bo
returned to her homo ehe was hopelessly
Insane. Crandall refused to permit her to
I he taken to an asylum and cared for her
at home. She declined llko her brothers and
i died an Imbecile. Another grave was dug
I In the lot In the cemetery at Logan and
j thorc the remains were laid at rest.
| This additional affliction to Crandall
i caused him to lese all Interest In the com-
I munlty where ho had resided for so many
years , and winding up his business he set
tled his small fortune safely and became
a wanderer. Several weeks ago ho arrived
In Denver , where he finally began to de
velop symptoms of Insanity. He was placed
under the charge of a celebrated alienist ,
but his case was pronounced hopeless from
the beginning. A week ago it was deter
mined to confine him In some retreat , and as
his fortune was found to be ample to pro
vide a private Institution for him It was de
termined to send him to Chicago. The at
tendants who had the man In charge said
that ho was now hopelessly Insane and that
hla disease had taken a violent turn which
was a fatal Indication.

The Dickens party-given Thursday evenIng -
Ing for the Art department of the Woman's
club was a great success from every point of
view. The Idea of n Dickens entertainment
originated In the minds of a few of the lead
ing members of the Woman's club. It was
regarded with favor by the whole club , and
gradually one club after another fell under
the magic spell of Dlckcna , until at last the
whole city was encircled by a chain of
thought to which the keyword , or charm-
word , woo Pickwick. The hall was artis
tically furnished nnd decorated with oldtlmo
furniture and draperies , nnd with the cos
tumes , some of which had lain away In
lavender and dried rose leaves for more than
a century. H would have required no stretch
of Imagination to have believed that one was
curroundcd by their great grandmothers and
ancient uncles and aunts. Mr. George S.
Wright , ns master of ceremonies , cairlcd the
part of an old-style English gentleman ns
It " . " Introduced
"to the manner born. Ho
the characters In Dickens' books to the spec
tators In the order In which they were writ
ten. In a great many Ini'tanccs the Intro
duction was entirely unnecessary to people
at all familiar with Dickens. Among the
most Interesting scenes from the 'hooVa ' wore
"Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works , " In which many
local hits were made that were decidedly
good. "Ben Bolt , " sung by Ida-Wles Sey-
bert , as "Trlliby , " was wonderfully awect
and affecting. "Salry Gamps' Tea Party"
came In for Its share of laughter and conv
ment. Deserving of special mention was the
Inimitable manner In which the trial scene
was taken off. The best legal talent of the
city participated in flowing gowns and
snowy wigs "a la Johnny Bull , " to the Im
mense amusement of all present. The
everyday citizen had a glimpse of real couit
llfo In the peculiarly witty manner In which
Hon. Smith McPhor , on Instructed the Jury.
Hon. John N. Baldwin completely hypnotized
the jury In bU magnificent plea for hla client ,
Mrs. Bardell , and Charles M. Harlc , for Pick
wick , was excruciatingly funny.
The Boat club's cake walk and costume
ball on 'Monday ' evening was one of the most
strikingly original and unique events that
has occurred In society circles during the
scar.on. It afforded entertainment and amuse
ment for nearly 200 of the society set. The
contest for the cake was no mere perfunc
tory effort on the part of those who took
part , hut it was a genuine and enthusiastic
attempt of each couple to win the prize. The
cake was a most gorgeous affair , and well
worth the struggle made to acquire Its
ownership. The costumes of the guests
ranged from gowns wrought of tissue paper
and loud calico to the richest silks and
satins. The Judges were II. L. Cummlngs ,
B. W. Hart and J. T. Oliver. Graces of per-
Fen , richness of attire and originality of
evolutions all counted as the contestants
filed before the judges , who had a great deal
of difficulty before they finally decided that
Henry Gleason had won the prize.
Mr. and 5lrs. II. E. Montgomery enter
tained Informally a number of their friends
on Tuesday evening. The affair was oneof
the usual quiet elegance that marks all of
Mrs. Montgomery's social functions.

day evening In Royal Arcanum hall by Ir

Mr. Harrison Gleason. About 150 guests
were present and the event was one of the
moat enjoyable of the season. The color
scheme of the decorations was pink , nnd
pink carnations were in abundance on all
sides. The chandeliers were decorated with
pink tissue , and the bower , where the Ices
were served , was beautifully dressed In
smllax with stately palms at the sides. The
refreshments were served on the buffet

City Attorney Him n llnmh with iv
Country .liiNtluv.
A temporary writ of Injunction was Issued
from the district court yesterday restrain
ing J. H. Larlson , a tenant , and Charles B.
Bradley , a justice of the peace In Silver
Creek township , from Interfering with the
Omaha National bank's possession of a farm
In that township. The -bank recently ac
quired title to the land by sheriffs deed nnfl
on 'January 1 leased It to Daniel McKlnzle.
At that tlmo Larlson was In possession on n
leaj-o from J. W. Squire , but despite this
fact McKcnzle assumed the control and
management of the farm. Larlson brought
on action before the Justice of the peace to
oust the now tenant , and the case was to bo
tried before the country Justice yesterday
afternoon. W. C. Hendrlcks , the attorney
for the bank , made a long , cold trip Into
the country. Anticipating nn unfavorable
ruling by the Justice he sued out the In
junction and 'took along a deputy sheriff to
servo It. When the case was called the at
torney found that there was not a scratch
of a record made up , no written petition
having boon filed In accordance with the
statute. Ho rend the law to the court and
moved that the case bo dismissed on this
ground. The court remained In dumb
silence for ten minutes and when the at
torney became restless and finally asked for
a ruling , the jus'tlce took his feet oft the
teacher's desk In the country school house
where the trial was being held before a
room full of people and remarked , "Ob , It's
a roolln' you want , Is It ? What kind of a
roolln' ? " "I want to know whether or not
you are going to sustain my motion and
dismiss this case , " cried the attorney ,
testily. "You bet I ain't , " responded the
court. The attorney for the bank then
called on the olllcct : to serve the Injunction
and left the court to struggle along with
the case In the best manner ho could. The
attorney for the bank announced that ho
would bring an action for damages against
thu justice and Larlson for Interfering with
the property rights of. the 'bank. '

day. The house adjourned till Wednesday
afternoon , and had not a quorum this morn
ing. After adjournment It was found that
adjournment for more than three days was
not legal and It was arranged that those
members who may bo In town Monday shall
meet ngaln anil adjourn till Wednesday to
legalize the performance. The senate will
hold a session Monday .morning It It can get
a quorum. > The dllllculty results from the
fact that Tuesday will bo Washington's birth
day , which IB a legal holiday In Iowa. The
house met without a quorum this morning
and spent Us time deciding to what date to
adjourn. Finally a motion carried to nd-
Journ till 1 o'clock Wednesday. The point of
order was made that the constitution for-
bailo any house adjourning more than three
days without concurrence of the other , but
despite this , the house carried the motion
to adjourn. It was then found that the con
stitution docs contain such a provision , and
a scnsutlonal story waa started that the
action of the bouse had dissolved that htdy ,
nnd It would have to 'bo called together by
the governor. Examination , however , del -
l - < . 'lobd [ that this wan untrue ; that the nit-
jnurnmcnt was simply Illegal , and that a
minority of members could meet In the In
terim and compel attendance of abticntce5
and do business legally whenever It secured
a quorum.
In the sennto the Hoard of Control people
ple recovered their wind and Garat moved
the reconsideration of the motion , carried
yesterday , fixing the Hoard of Control bill
for a special order for March 3. He wanted
early consideration of It. The chair held that
the motion to reconsider was In order , and It
will bo taken up Monday , when n test will

SOLDIERS' HOME AFFAIR.
Another chapter In the Ratckln Soldiers'
home affair developed at a meeting of the
trustees for the homo In this city Thursday
for the purpose principally of appearing be
fore the appropriations committee In behalf
of the home. At that time a resolution to
discharge C. B. McCIure , engineer nt the
Institution , was adopted and Colonel C. C.
Horton , commandant , left Immediately and
discharged him yesterday. , At the January
meeting of the board charges were filed
against McCIure that he had been circulat
ing reports to the effect that the women
at the home , both Inmates and employes ,
had been criminally Intimate with old soldier
Inmates and also trustees and officers. These
charges were not Investigated until the
meeting this month. On Friday the execu
tive committee , Messrs. Raymond , Blrchard
and Morton , held a meeting at Marshalltown ,
at which seven witnesses testified that Mc
CIure had been spreading such reports forever
over a year. McCIure was brought Into the
presence of these witnesses and when given
an oportunlty to tell his side of the case ,
said that In charging these things about the
women he had repeated what he had been
told by ex-Commandant Ratekln. The evi
dence went to show that the charges were
false and further that McClure had not been
making any of these charges since Colonel
Horton had been commandant. There was
a minor charge against McCIure of incom-
petency as engineer , nnd alee that he had
employed dissolute persons In his depart
ment.

SHELL ROCK , la. , Feb. 13. ( Special. )
By the arrest and confining of Charles Jones ,
alias "Crazy Horse , " in the insane asylum
at Independence , the matter of the many In
cendiary fires at this place has been cleared
up. Jones made a full confession to Mayor
Mclntyre , elating he had been responsible
for the many recent fires In this neighbor
hood , Including the one which destroyed the
public school building with its contents. In
each case kerosene had been employed. The
motive of the maniac was n peculiar one.
For some time he has been Buffering under
the Insane delusion that he desired to take
the civil service examination and secure a
government position. In some way he be
came possessed of the belief that a term of
yearj In the penitentiary was essential , and
In order to become possw-acd of this Im
portant requisite he had turned Incendiary.

Kor HIP Cure of I'llr * .
Is not only Intensely painful , dangerous
to lifennd very expensive , but In the llqht
of modern medlr.il research and since the
discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure A sur
gical operation Is wholly unnecessary. If
you have any doubt on the point kindly read
the following letters from people who know-
that our claims regarding the merits of the *
Pyramid Pllo Cure are borne out by the
farts.
From N. A. Stall. Rldgo Iload , Niagara
Co. , N , Y. : I received your Pyramid I'llo
Cure and tested It last night. It did me
moro good than anything I have ever found
yet , and remebcr this was the result of one
night's treatment only.
From Pcnn W. Arnclt. Dategvlllc. Ark. :
Gentlemen Your Pyramid Pile Cure has
done mo so much good In so short a time
that my son-in-law , Captain T. J. Klein , efFort
Fort Smith , Ark. , has written mo lor your
address , as ho wishes to try It also.
From A. 13. Townsend , Bcnvlllo , Ind. : I
have been so much benefited by the Pyramid
Pile Cure that 1 enclose $1 for which please-
send a package which I wish to give tea
a friend of mine who suffers very much from
piles.
From John H. Wright , Clinton , DoWItt
Co. , 111. : I am so well pleased with the
Pyramid Pllo Cure that I think It but right
to drop you a few Hues to Inform you Its
effects have been all that I could ask or
w Ish.
From P. A. Bruton , Llano , Tex. : Gentle
men The Pyramid Pllo Cure has done so
much good for mo that I will say for the
benefit of others that after using only two
dajs I am belter than I have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared by The
Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall , Mich. , and
It Is truly a wonderful remedy for all forms
of piles. So great has been the number of
testimonial letters received by them from all
parts of the country that they have decided
to publish each week a number of such let
ters.

All druggists recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure , as they know from what their custom
ers say that no remedy gives such general
satisfaction.
