LINCOLN, Dec. 1. (Special.) Although
no (lelmlto arrangements have yet been
made, It Is qulto probata that the In
augural ball will be glvcu In tlio Audi
torium on tlio evening of Juuuary 3. The
preparations for this affair have boon left
tullrcly to a committee consisting of
. Colonels C. J. Hills und O. K. Jenkins of
Foirluty, a J. Mills of Hasting!. J- -'am-eron
Andiroon of Omaha ami Charles M.
Kccfcr of thl city, all members of tho
now governor's military staff. Tho ball
will ho preceded by a reception for all of
tho now Htote officials, at which event tho
staff committee will likely bo assisted by
ncveral Lincoln pec pie. With Governor
Dietrich will be his daughter, who Is now
In her sophomore year at Ilryn Mawr col
lege. MIbs Dietrich will Bpcnd tho Chrlst
iiibb holidays with her father and will
probably remain hero until after tho In
augural ceremonies.
Lincoln people are looking anxiously for
ward to the Inaugural ball, which will bo
tho principal function of tho year. Tho
Auditorium gallery will comfortably seat
marly 2,000 persona and this portion of tho
building will bo reserved for spectators.
Nearly all of tho statu officers-elect who
came to Lincoln to attend the meeting
last night remained over until this after
noon. Mr Dietrich spent tho morning In
tin room In consultation with numerous
applicants for positions. Quito a number
of additional nppolntinents for the various
stato olllces and Institutions havo prac
tically been agreed upon, but It Is not likely
that many of them will be nnnounccd until
tho conference of tho new officials In this
city on December 14.

accept tho position and entor upon his
nuw duties as soon as tho administra
tion changes
the lav pertaining to conferring Jurisdic
tion In cuch cases upon the district court,
tho law being familiarly known as tho
charter of tho city of Omaha, is unconsti
tutional and veld for tho reason that It la
contrary to tho provisions of section 19 of
article vl. section 15 of article HI, section
II of ortlrlo 111 and section G of artlclo v
of the slate constitution, bocauso tho court
erred In overruling the demurrer of the
respondent to tho charges and specifica
tions, because tho findings and Judgment
were not supported by evidence and were
contrary to law; because tho court erred
In refusing a Jury trial on tho demand of
the respondent; becnU3o tho court In Its
opinion and findings found that there wai
no corruption shown by tho evidence, it
being error to enter a Judgment or re
moval of an oillclal officer without proof
of corruption In relation to his nets ns a
Judicial officer; becauso the court erred In
finding defendant guilty under tho Qrst, sec
ond, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth,
tenth, fourteenth and sixteenth charges of
tho complaint after having found that the
acts complained of were not corruptly
done."
.Srnrt'liliiK for II In Kim,
Thomas Carr of Staplchurst called at tho
statu house this afternoon to obtain In
formation tc, alive to tho whereabouts of
his son, Itobirt Carr, who was recently dis
charged from tho Thirty-ninth volunteer
Infantry on account of Bickncjs. Tho young
man was expected to start from San Fran
cisco several days ago. Tho authorities
hero have no means of ascertaining tho
whoiealouta of any toldler after ho leaves
tho service, it Is believed, however, that
Carr Is cither In n hcspltal In San Fran
cisco or Is on his way home.
Tho official canvass of votrB for the lead

Tho official count lncreapcn tho unofficial

Tho clerical force In tho executive offlco
has commenced to transcribe portions of
Governor I'oynter's message to tho legisla
ture. It Is said that tho document will con
tain about half as many words as the last
message of Silas A. Holcomb. The major
portion of his message will consist of
statistical information relative to the vari
ous state offices and institutions. An effort
will bo mado to prcparo tho document in
such form that It can be used In the cam
paign two years hence. It will probably
lncludo much of literature circulated by
tho governor's campaign bureau during tho
fow weeks prior to election.

Cure" fjrerjr
Piles.
Form of
The Pyramid I'llo Curo has boen a picas,
ant surprise to thousands of suffcrcra, bo
cause of tho Instant relief It gives and
tho prompt cure which follows Its regular
use, and this 1b done without the uso of
opiates, cocaine, narcotics or poisons of any
Kind, as carerm analysts snows tne ryra
m Id o File Curo to be wholly freo from any
Injurious drug whatever.
Hundreds of people who had almost do
elded to undergo an operation, believing
nothing else would curo them, have been
astonished to find that a fifty-cent box of
the Pyramid was far safer, hotter and moro
effective than an operation could possibly
be. '
Tho Pyramid Pile Cure allays the Inflam
matlon and Intolerable iltchlng, reduces tho
tumors, and by Its astringent properties
causes tho eulargod blood vessels to con
tract to a healthy condition.
A gentleman living In Cleveland rolatcB
bis experience by saying: "It affords mo
unusual pleasure to add my endorsem'nt
to what I consider a really wonderful pile
cure.
I waa a BUffcrer from piles for years
until a brother salesman told me nbout the
Pyramid Pllo Cure. It has entirely cured
me and I cheerfully recommend It."
Mrs. D. E. llecd of Albany says: "I
would not take $."00 and bo placed back
where I was boforo I used tho Pyramid Pllo
Cure. I suffered for years nnd It Is now
eighteen months since I used It and no
tho slightest trace of tho trouble has ro
turned."
Mrs. Hlnkley of Indianapolis was told by
her physlclau that nothing but a surgical
operation, costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars, could curd her, as she
had BUffored fifteen years, yet oven In Buch
utcaac the Pyramid Pllo Cure accomplished
a coinploto cure. She says; "I knew an
operation would bo death to mo and tried
tho Pyramid with very llttlo hgpo; so It ffc
not to bo wondered at that I am so en
thuslaBtlu In Ita praise,"
Tho Pyramid Pile Curo Is sold by drug
gists at fifty cents for comploto treatmont
and as It contains no opiate or other pols
onoua drugs, may bo used with entire
safety.
No one need suffer from piles In any
form who will give this excellent pre para
Hon a trial.

HASTINGS. Neb., Deo. 1. (Special.)
Uofore district court adjourned this week
number of Interesting cases wore trlod.
n boom days William Croft waa tho owner
of a fine farm ndjolulng the now cemo
tcry on the north, which ho divided and
sold off In small tracts. John I). Camp
bell became tho purchaser of the ten-acre
tract lying Just east of tho ten acres oc
cupled as a home by Mr. Croft. Campbell
alleged that during tho dividing and sell
ing off process Mr. Croft dedicated a public.
treot along tho north side of tho cemo
tery. Croft could not seo It that way so
losed up the road. The court sustained
Campboll's contention and ordered defend
ant to remove obstructions within flfteon
days; to refrain from further obstructing
travel thereon and to pay plaintiff nominal
damages In tho sum of $50, with costs.
Several years ago n farm belonging to
Mrs. Theodonla Brltt waB Bold under
mortgage foreclosure Z. T. Osgood acted
as ono of the appraisers. At tho sheriff':!
salo Mr, Osgood nppearod and bid In the
farm In tho namo of his son. A few months
atcr the son deeded tho farm to his
father, who had acted as an appraiser.
Mrs, Brltt brought suit for right to ro-
deem, alleging as a principal ground that
Osgood had not lived up to tho Nebraska
statute, which provides that an appraiser
shall not becomo a purchaser, cither di
rectly or Indirectly. Judge Adams entered
nn order authorizing Mrs. Brltt to redoem
within sixty days by reimbursing Mr. Os
good In tho sum of $2,776, representing tho
actual amount which tho court found was
necessary to put Mr. Osgood In statu quo.
In the replevin caso of tho Nobraska
Moltno Plow company to Minnie E. Stoner
the court decided In favor of tho plain
tiff. Tho company had Bold Stoner a quail
tlty of goods on the contract plan provld
ing that tho title should remain In th
vendor until paid for. Just beforo Stono
filed her application to go Into voluntary
bankruptcy tho company roplcvlncd th
goods. Tho trusteo In the bankruptcy In
tcrvened in tho replevin suit, claiming tl;
goods In behalf of tho general creditors
On conclusion of the trial Judge Adams

Decatur In Sclf-Defenae,
DECATUn. Nob., Dec. 1. (Special.) So
many erroneous reports In regard to De
cntur'a smallpox have been sent to the
papers from Onawa, la., and other Iowa
towns across Uie river a correct report Is
needod.
The disease prevailing here has been
pronounced by the State Hoard of Health
of Nebraska as a "modified form of small
pox" and has been prevalent hero since
in tho spring, but wns not conBldored
serious until tho dlstnse started In Silver
Creek neighborhood In a more serious form.
Dr. Towno of Omaha was sent by the Stnte
Doard of Htalth to Investigate and measures
wero then taken at onco to check the
disease.
Notwithstanding tho many reports to tho
contrary there have been no deaths at this
place, and a voiy strict quarantine Is estab
lished, which has greatly checktd the
spread of tho disease, which at its worst
Is In a very mild form, many of tho cnsi
not ovcu requiring tho care of a physician
There has been no now cases for several
days and no serious results aro anticipated
The only sorUius troublo that confronts
Decatur Is the very much exaggerated re
ports that reach tho papers from other
places.
