Tfaat Will Certainly Cure Any Form of Piles, The study of physicians, the experiments of chemists, the loudly advertised preten sions of quarks, have been for years ex pended la one OlreoUonj to find a pile cure that would oure. The result have been a number of harm less and In most cases useless ointments, suppositories and. even Internal remedies, which the publlo have weighed In the bal ance of experience and found wanting; Hearty eU of them gave some relief, but nothing approaching a radical -cure resulted from these preparations. The remedy required Is one which will Immediately stop the pain so severe in many cases of piles, and then by contract tug the small blood Teasels (capillaries) to their nomal else, produces a radical cure by reducing and finally absorbing the tu Boors and healing the Inflamed, raw mucous eurfacee. Untfl a few years ago no such remedy bad been produced, but at that time a sup pository was plaoed upon the market which has since proven Itself to be the long-sought permanent cure for this com moo. and distressing trouble; It has rapidly become famous throughout the United States and Canada and Is now sold by all druggists under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure. It Is now the best known, because Its merit and safety have advertised It wher ever used. It has been advertised by word of mouth, from one sufferer to another; people who have tried everything else, even submitting to painful and dangerous surgical opera'lons without avail, have finally found that piles can be cured with out pain and without expense practically, as the Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold for tha nominal price of W cents and- H 00 per package. The Pyramid Instantly stops alt pain ajd at the same time contains no cocaine, mor phine or narcotics; the adds and healing, properties contained In the remedy speedily remove, cause a healthful, natural con traction, and absorption of tTte tumors. It Will cure any form of metal trouble except cancer and advanced P.atu'.a. which, by the way. nearly always results from neglecting proper and timely treatment for piles.

CATCH BRIEF GLIMPSE OF HIM AT ONE TIME Dodges lata Cornfield sad Escapes His Pnrsaers Belief Ho. Is Subsist Inar -by Eating Orcea Cora. COWLE8, Neb.. Sept. 19.-(Speclal Tele gram.) The hunt for Madison, the Red Cloud murderer, continued al day without abatement and tonight the hope that his apprehension Is about at hand cheers the pursuers and the quest Is vigorously prose cuted. The forces had been concentrated about four miles northwest of Cowles, the pursuers urged on by repeatedly finding clues. At the farm of Mr. Partington the fugitive asked for work and while wrang ling over the price caught sight of the posse on a neighboring hill, when he at once made for the cornfields. The pur suers wers only fifteen minutes behind, the murderer with the Malone hounds from Lincoln hot on the trail. The scent was lost, however, and he remained at large. The chase was resumed by a few, some of them from Kansas, among them William son, husband of the murdered woman, this afternoon, upon the report of Rudolph Snour, a Bohemian farmer, living three miles north and ons mils east of Cowles. While at work Mr. Bnour observed a man emerge from a cornfield whose description agrees with that of ths fugitive. He at onoe notified Sheriff MacArthur of Webster county snd ths latter with Detective Ma lone drove to the scene. Boon footprints were found leading from a cornfield into a plowed field, but wers lost In the stub ble beyond. These were Identified by ths trailer, who knows Madison as the foot prints of tho murderer. It Is upon this trail that the men are now working. Kansss Men Threatening. There Is Intense excitement among tha Kansas men, about 2qp of whom are In ths vicinity, and there la no doubt that If Madison falls Into their ' hands he will be Immediately lynched. It is more proba ble, however, that he will be taken by the officers and removed to a place of safety. The vicinity In which the man la lurking Is suited to his purpose, and, though they were close upon his heels. It would be difficult to dislodge him. There are thick clumps of trees and dense shrub bery along the ravlr.es, while on the up lands there Is a thick stand of corn and along the roadway sunflowers offer ample means for concealment. The man is sub sisting principally on corn, it Is believed, and (requently along the trail munched ears are found, with the crumbs of chewing tobacco upon them. The bane of operations tonight will be five or six miles northeast of Cowles and within three miles of Rosemont. The posse evinces mors dogged determination than ever. Borne Conflicting Stories. HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 19.-(8pclal Tele gram.) The hunt for Tom Madison, the supposed murderer of Mrs. Wllllanifon and hr daughter and Mrs. Williamsons mother, all residing five miles sjuth of Red Cloud, Is progressing, but unless ths unex pected happens the fugitive will net bo captured until tomorrow If he la captured at all. Nothing has been seen of Madison near Roseland or Ayr, and at Blue Hill the bloodhounds lost the scent. It Is reported that Madison stole a t-ant at Lawrence and started In a southeasterly direction from Red Cloud. It Is reported a man was seen driving a team southward at a breckneck speed, and the description of the man tal lies Identically with Madison. However, It Is not generally believed that the man seen going south of Red Cloud was tbs fugitive, for It cannot be comprehended what reason he would have for returning to the neigh borhood where ths murder was committed. farmer reported at Lawrence that he saw a man roughly dressed driving a team on a run eight mles south of Lawrence and that hs had a gun In the buggy. One posse returned today without having obtained the slightest clue, but a large crowd of men Is still bunting the hills and fields all the way south of the Little Blue river to the Kansaa Una. Tnra does not seem to be any doubt but tha. fugitive will reach Kansas by tomorrow, but he will not be free from the posse there, ss the men In pursuit ars determined to hunt him down, and they are receiving assistance from many farmers In the southern part of the state.

DEBATE LIQUOR QUESTION Methodist Conference Warms I'p Over that and the Social Evil. (From a Staff Correspondent..) LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 19. (Special Tele gram.) The temperance question occupied most of the time of the Methodist confer ence today, nearly every minister present taking a hand and one of them Incidentally scoring President Roosevelt, Governor Mickey and Mayor Adams for not taking steps to prevent the sale of liquor.

OBJECTS TO TRIP BACK TO OMAHA Attorney Sacs Oat m Writ of Habeas Corpos and the Case Will Be Argoed in tho Sapreme Coart. , ' ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 19. (Special.) Chief of Detectives H. W. Dunn of Omaha arrived In this city yesterday. His object was twofold. First, he wanted to see Director of Detectives Hayden and Impress upon him the necessity of fighting stren uously the habeas corpus proceedings brought to release Jules DeAgrneff, the French count, under arrest for forgery com mitted in Omaha, and secondly, to see De Agineft so that he might assure himself no mistake In Identification was made. DeAgrneff was brought to headquarters from Jail and Chief Dunn had a chat with him. The "count" was taciturn and his shrllr voice and the repeated shrugging of shoulders Indicated that the Interview was distasteful to his royal sense of etiquette. "It's a shame and an outrage," he piped in a high key. "I forged not'lng but my own name. Dees Is a-a-a execrable coun tree." After which explosion of wrath he was taken to his cell. Asks for Extradition Papers. Dunn snd Hayden consulted for soma time and about 4 o'clock the Omahan boarded an eastbound train for Albany, where hs will ask for extradition papers. A warrant for the arrest of DeAgrneff was left with ths local police. In It Rome Miller of Omaha complains that the "count" defrauded him of $50 through a worthless check on a Salt Lake City bank. A most mercurial disposition Is that of ths "count." In one breath ha says he will not go back to Omaha, but will ask Hon. T. D. Bulllvan of Tammany hall to help hlra at Albany, and la ths next breath he says hs will go back and fight It out there. The wrtt of habeas corpus will be argued in supreme court this morning and Dunn will have hard work to unwind the red tape necessary to head off the habeas corpus proceedings snd return with his requisition papers. A picture of the prisoner was taken by the Bertlllon operator at police headquar ters. DeAgrneff protested against being "mugged" and writhed and struggled. When he was Jacketed up. he made a wry face. r Fill Vacancy on Knslen Ticket. TECUMSEH, Neb..
