Into tha rig and brought him to Papllllon

from growing too violent. Mrs. Belbold la
In a very serious condition as the result
of her experience and says she expected
to be killed every moment. Lobeck has
been In this neighborhood for a long time

The Only Remedy In the World
Bzcept a Surgical Operation.
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.

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. This
was Rev. Hale of Bennett.
. Rev. Shepherd,' who was caught by the
police recently while exploring the bod
lands In search of a plan to combat the
social evil, told that Lincoln was full of
hell-holes and pitfalls for young women.
Rev. Presson combatted the speech of
Rev,, Hale by telling that the governor
would, he was sure, do all In his power to
enforce all laws. Rev. Wharton asked the
conference to allow the spirit of Christ to
prevail and assured the ministers It would
be better to talk to the people quietly than
to antagonise' them. Thus peace was re
stored. The resolutions adopted expressed grati
tude that the sale of liquor and beer was
prevented In the army, opposed the sale of
liquor In government buildings, endorred
ths Hepburn btll now pending In congress,
ssklng the general conference to .memorial
ise the president and congress to prohibit
ths sale o( liquor In the territories. District
of Columbia, and all places where the fed
eral government has control and condemn
ing any attempted legislation that would
license the social evil to make It a source
of publlo revenue.

DUNN IDENTIFIES THE COUNT
Jules Ce Aymsff, Wanted in Omaha,
Arrested in Boohe3ter.
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.
