THIEVES FIND THE DRIVER IN
Result Is That ttempt to Rob tbe
Pacific Express Office Is
. a ' Failure.
Evidently unaware of the fact that one
of tho employes slept there, thieves at
tempted to break Into the office ot the Pa
cific Express company on South Main street
Monday night. They were frightened away
by Bert Wise, one of the drivers, who
sleepa In the office at ntght. Falling to
open the lock of the lde door opening on
the alley, the thieve commenced to cut
out a oanel next the lock when frightened
away by Wise, who had been awakened
by the noise of the sawing.'
Wise waa awakened about 1 o'clock by
hearing someone trying to fid a key In the
lock on the aide door. He aecured hla re
volver and waited for developmenta. The
lock I of the Yale pattern and the key the
thieves had failed to wotk. Then they
commenced to saw a hole In the door close
to the lock, and by thla time Wise thought
It prudent to Interfere. Stepping toward
the door with hi loaded revolver, he asked
who waa there and threatened to bore a
hole through the door. The worda were
barely out of hi mouth when he heard
footsteps running down the alley. Opening
the door, he was Just in time to see two
men turn the corner Into Fourth street.
The akeleton key, made of brass, with
which the thieves had failed to open the
lock, was found on the door sill. On the
tanel of the door next the lock were marks
where they had begun to saw a hole
through. Wise remembered seeing1 a man
loafing in tho alley near the office at the
time he went to aupper, but paid no atten
tion to him. Later in tbe evening Wise
went to lodge and on returning noticed the
same fellow, with a compaLlon, again In
the alley, but the circumstance at the time
did not strike him aa being atrange ant
. oe retired to bed without giving It anj
I thought. He waa able to give the police a
fairly good description of the men he saw
In the alley and they are aaid to be work
ing on s clew.
The millinery stors of Mi Anna Moor
on Broadway waa broken Into Monday
ntght and, the police are of the opinion, by
the same men who attempted to break tnta
the express office. The thieves obtained
entrance to the millinery atore "by forcing
in the back door leading Into the alley,
which waa only secured by a bolt. The
cash drawer waa opened and placed on the
counter, but the thlevea got nothing for
their trouble, aa there waa no money In It
except a dime, which they evidently over
looked. Not being after millinery, tba
thlevea did not touch any of th stock.
. Matters la District L'oart.
Judge Tbornell. who was unable to re
convene district court Monday on account
of sickness, telegraphed to Clerk Reed yes
terdsy mornlpg to adjourn court until next
Monda7 and to dismiss the petit Jury until

vorce from W. F. Powell, to whom she
wag married at- Albany, Mo.. January S,

September. Tbey have two minor children,
of which Mra. Powell aska tha custody.
Tbe attorneys for Henry Lock, who se
cured a judgment against the city for $500
for persoral Injuries received aa a result
ot a fall caused by a defective atdewalk,
filed their motion for a new trial yesterday.
Tbe motion la based on aeveral grounds,
tbe principal being the allegation that
after the jury- had been out for forty-eight
hours and failed to agree th court had the
Jury brought In and Informed tbem that he
had to go home that evening but that he
would leave them In charge of the sheriff
and Judge Wheeler and stated to them that
In hja Judgment they ought not to be
discharged at that time aa It aeemed to
him from tbe nature of the case that they
ought to harmonise their differences and
arrive at a verdict If such could be reached
consistent with tlie conscientious discharge
of their duties; that such conduct on the
part of the Judge could have no other tend
ency than to cause the jury to bring In a
compromise verdict without regard to the
merit of the case but solely for the pur
pose of arriving at a settlement of the
differences between tbe Jurors a fo what
the verdict ahould be. Lock sued for
$10,000 and secured a verdict for (500.

VITAL FORCE
I Craaaed by Chronic Troablea.
One of the' most weakening, undermining
troubles which mankind la heir to la hem
orrhoids or piles. Tbe victim Is careless
and neglectful of the dlaeaae at first be
cause the pain la alight and the bleeding
may only occur occasionally, or he may
b reassured by the occasional disappear
ance of the aymptom. And yet It at the
very start he had found a rational remedy
to aoothe the Inflammation be would prob
ably never have had a return ot thla Irrl
tatlng malady.
Pllea may develop at any aeaaon of the
year and at almost any age of the victim;
the abuse of cathartlca often cauaea thla
trouble and a period arrlvea when the
dread i of pain at stool becomes ao great
that the sufferer begins to neglect the calla
ot nature and the bowela are either forced
to retain tha fecea or are only partially
cleared, on account of the Buffering at
tendant upon a thorough movement.
Before you reach thla atage use a remedy
which removea the eauae, thereby eradlcat
Ing the disease, and that la the Pyramid
Pile Cure, which ta aold by all druggists at
fifty centa a package; It la In the form of
a suppository, 1 applied directly to the
parts affected and brlnga about a complete
cure, quickly and painlessly. A valuable
littl book on th cause and cure of pllea
Is published by the Pyramid Drug Co
Marshall. Mich., and we advise every suf
ferer to send for a copy of It.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished at th Instant
relief experienced from the first appllca
tlon. Another Important advantage la th
fact that any on can use tbe remedy
without detention from business or Inter
ferenee with dally occupation.
"I feel It my duty to recommend th
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten
yeara with a most distressing form of
piles. I am entirely cured, thanks to th!
remedy." Any one doubting this can writ
to Margaret Brady. IS Whitman St.
