A MAN CAN'T WOEK
When He Is Suffering- With Piles.
He Can't Eat, Sleep, Can't Get Com
fort Any Way but One Pyramid
Pile (nre Will Cure Him; Give In
slant Relief.
Just a little pain may so distract a
man's life that it will cost him hundreds
of dollars. Life Is a battle. To succeed
one needs all his energies and all his
brain force to apply to the question at
hand. Even a corn will make him Ir
ritable, cross, angry— and an angry man
Beklom succeeds. The trifling pain of a
corn is a pleasant feeling besides the
agonizing ache of piles. That is a pain
which seems to pervade the whole body.
It communicates itself to all parts near
the seat of the trouble and brings on a
heavy dragging feeling In the perineum.
Those who do not so suffer do not knew
what it means. It racks the nerves, pre
vents sleep, prevents concentrated
thought and makes a man lose flesh as
fast as he would with a virulent fever.
And yet piles are looked upon as a
little thing. They are neglected— allowed
to run on from month to month and
from year to year. By and by comes a
surgical operation. Maybe It cures—may
be It kills.
There is only one sure, safe and quick
cure for piles. It Is the Pyramid Pile
Cure. It Is a recent discovery and its
properties are such that It cleanses,
soothes and heals the Inflamed parts, re
duces the Inflammation at once and with
continued treatment, removes all swell
ing and all trace of disease. It puts the
membranes In a healthy active condition
and cures completely and permanently.
From C. F. Collins, Garnett: "I com
menced using the Pyramid Pile Cure, but
my case was so bad that I was afraid
the remedy would fail, but before I had
used two-thirds of a package I began to
feel much better and I can honestly say
I am entirely cured. It is the quickest
and surest remedy I have ever heard of."
From Josiah Roberts, Port Oram", N. J.;
"Just one-quarter of a package of the
Pyramid Pile Cure did wonders for me
and I have lost no opportunity of recom
mending such a wonderful remedy."
FTom Wm. McHale, Rockport, Mass :
"One package of Pyramid Pile Cure has
helped me more than anything 1 have
yet used "
Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by drug^
riats generally. If your druggist doesn t
Veep it, he will get It for you if you ask
kirn. Eook on cause and cure of piles
lent free. Address, Pyramid Drug Co.,
Wshall, Mich,
Krieger has general charge of the affair
and great Interest is being taken In the
event by the members of the different
unions who meet at Assembly hall.
I.atliera Hold a Sbort Session.
The lathers' union held a short meeting
at Assembly hall last night at which one
member, Harry Wood, was initiated. The
president announced that all lathers in
the city were now members of the union.
The state of trade was reported fair
and the new scale which went into effect
April 1 is being paid by all the bosses.

Guest of the Evening-.
A social event of some historic Impor
tance in the state of Minnesota was the
dinner given last evening by Capt. J. 3.
at his residence on Kent street,
to the past department commanders of
the department of Minnesota G. A. R.
The past department commanders have
formed themselves into an association
and once a year they meet at the home
of one of the members to renew old as
sociations, and to enjoy those reminis
cences which are the delight of the true
soldier's heart. The association met last
year in Minneapolis at the home of E. C.
Babb, whose death occurred Just a month
ago.
betters of regret were received from
many past department commanders liv
ing in various parts of the state who
were not able to be present last evening.
The house was beautifully decorated
with cut flowers. In the reception hall,
at the foot of the wide stairway, hung a j
large flag of the beloved red, white and I
blue. The table decorations were In pink,
a great bunch of President Carnot roses
forming the centerpiece. Each place card
was decorated with a tiny flag, and, be
sides the name of the guest, contained
the date when he held the office of de
partment commander.
The guest of honor at the dinner last
evening was Gen. M. D. Flower, who
mustered the host into Acker Post No. 21,
G. A. R., in 1871.
The other guests and the year that they
held the office of department commander
are as follows: H. G. Hicks. Minneap
olis, 1868; H. A. Castle, Washington, D.
C. 1872; J. P. Rea, Minneapolis, 1882; R. A.
Becker, St. Paul, 18S5; L. L. Wheelock,
Owatonna, 1887; J. H. Ege, Minneapolis,
1888; James Compton, St. Paul, 1880; John
Day Smith, Minneapolis, 1893; Ell Tor
rance, Minneapolis, 1895.
The deceased members, who at the
time of their death were in good stand.
Ing in the G. A. R., are John C. Hamil
ton, C. D. Parker and E. C. Babb.
H. G. Hicks was flrßt department com
mander in Minnesota, and H. A. Castle,
the second department commander, wag
the first commander of Acker post.
The guests sat down to dinner at 7
o'clock. There were numerous toasts
happily responded to. After dinner the
remainder of the evening was spent tell
ing war stories and reviewing the history
of Acker post, so indissolubly linked with
the history of the state of Minnesota,

BOLD DAiSH FOR LIBERTY.
Prisoner Eacapea Sheriff Johnson.
bnt Is Recaptured.
J. C. Davis, - a prisoner convicted of
burglary on two counts, and on his way
to Stlllwater In charge of Sheriff Jotyison,
of Austin, made a desperate break for lib
erty shortly after noon yesterday while
In the city for a few hours between
trains. After a short, but exciting chase,
he was recaptured and left on the after
noon train for the state prison in Com
pany with the sheriff, his deputy and
Warden Wolfer, who happened to be In
the city.
Sheriff Johnson arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon with his prisoner, ac
companied by a deputy. He took the
man to Louis Peterson's resttfurant, 818
Sibley street, for lunch. The prisoner
was heavily handcuffed and the officers
relaxed their watchfulness slightly.think
lng him safe. Sheriff Johnson left the
table where all there were eating, after
finishing his meal and went to the rear
of the room to wash his hands. He left
his deputy in charge of the burglar.
As soon as the sheriff's back was turn
ed, the man rose from his chair and In a
second was at the front door trying to
get out. His handcuffs bothered him
and he could not easily turn the latch,
and this slight delay gave the officers an
advantage. They got to the door just as
the prisoner escaped outside and dashed
across the street. Several persons who
were passing at the time followed on a
run, accompanied by the officers.
But for an accident the man might eas
ily have escaped entirely, but he mistook
the blind alley In the rear of the Seabury
wholesale house for a free passage, and
was soon cornered against the brick wall
of a building which blocks the passage
at a distance of fifty leet from the side
walk. He was taken back to the res
taurant and later taken to Stillwater.
OPERA SKASON COMING.
Substitution of "Faust" for "Trav
lntu" a. Popnlar Change.
The announcement of the substitution
of '•Faust" for "Traviata" in the Ellis
Opera company repertoire next week has
proved to be a popular move, as the sea
son ticket sale yesterday was the largest
since the sale opened and shows how
great the local Interest Is In the appear
ance of the favorite vocalist, and that as
Marguerite Mme. Melba will unquestion
ably be. seen by an audience of great size
and brilliancy. Hardly less In Importance
Is the reappearance here of Mile. De Lus
san and Mme. Gadskl, and both "Car
men" and "La Boheme" will be attrac
tive enough to draw equally large houses
on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
The sale of season tickets will close this
evening so that but a short time remains
for ticket buyers to avail themselves of
the reduction In price offered for pur
chasers for the three evenings. Friday
morning seats can be secured In any part
of the house (except the gallery, which is
not reserved), for one or more perform
ances.

PLAYS IN SCHOOLS
BOARD OF KDUCATION GIVES PRIN
CIPALS CHARGE OP THE
HATTER
THIS SETTLES THE SUBJECT
The Question of S,-«-d Culture Is Alao
Placed In the- Hands of the Prin
cipals Change* and Leaves of
Absence Recommended by Supt.
Smith Condition wf the Hoard*
Finances at Present.
At a meeting of the board of education
held yesterday at the Central high school,
the rules in regard to plays and enter
tainments were amended so that the prin
cipals have direct charge of the matter.
This subject has been under discussion
for some time and the result Is satis
factory both to the students and teachers.
The new rules provide that no concerts,
plays or entertainments shall be given
except on the permission of the board of
education, and that they then shall be
under the control of the principals of the
school in which they occur.
Such * auxiliary organizations as the
principals shall deem proper and helpful
may be allowed, under the control and
jurisdiction of the principal, to whom an
accounting of the funds shall be made.
Moreover, the students engaged in Buch
exhibitions must have an average in their
studies which will insure their passing
the examinations.
This action taken by the board yester
day was in line with the recent effort to
bring students and teachers together in
the matter of athletics. Students in the
various schools now recognize the fact
that their Interests in sport, acting and
anything else are not different from those
of the instructors, and harmony now pre
vails.
The kindergarten at the Murray school
Is crowded and the board was very much
gratified to receive notice from the trus
tees of the Church of the Holy Father
that central hall, connected with the
church, would be given up to the school.
The offer was accepted.
The report of Secretary Healey, of the
school board, was as follows:
ROUTINE REPORTS.
Secretary- Heally reported the following
balances in the several accounts as fol
lows:
Teachers salary account $109,028 09
Engineers and janitors 13,678 10
Officers and clerks 179169
Fuel 8 ; 418 33
Supply account 1,95120
Fund for salaries of mechanics
and laborers 12
Maintenance account 134,873 53
President Zlmmermann announced the
appointment of the standing committees
of the board which have heretofore been
printed In The Globe.
From the superintendent of schools
came the following statistical report for
the month of March, 1899:
Whole number enrolled, 21,128; whole
number belonging, 20,018; average daily
attendance, 18,566; whole number admit
ted, 23,047.
The following teachers were granted
leave of absence: Miss M. Hills, Schef
fer school, from April 3 to the end of the
school year; Miss L. Howard, Webster
school, from April 14 for one month.
Miss Josephine Mann was appointed to
the first grade in the Scheffer school, and
Miss Anna Nelson to the first grade in
the Franklin school, to open a new room,
to date from April 3.
RECOMMENDED FOR TEACHERS.
From Principal B. M. Phelan came the
following:
I recommend for graduation from the
Teachers' Training school the following
young ladies who have completed the
course and done the required amount of
substitute work in the general course:
Miss Julia Anderson, Miss Lulu Galla
gher, Miss Bridget Geraghty, Miss Jo
sephine Mann, Miss Anna Nelson, Miss
Rose Williams, and Miss Dora Gray in
the kindergarten course.
Supt. Smith said that he had received
propositions for the scholars to take up
seed culture. Different firms had offered
to supply the schools with seeds at the
cost price and let the scholars use them
under direction of the principals. The
idea was deemed a good one, but the
board decided to leave the matter to the
principals.
A proposition to Increase the scope of
the Provident Savings association, no^
confined to four schools, was referred to
the committee on that matter, after
which the board adjourned.
POLICE PATROL. SYSTEM.
Gustave Willlus Jr. Finds Many De
fecta In It.
In compliance with a resolution of the
city coudcH, Gustave Wlllius, Jr., city
electrical engineer, yesterday submitted
a report to the mayor. His investigations
consisted in inspecting and examining the
central station and sub-stations equip
ments, booths, patrol boxes, telephones
and the line work of the entire system.
Mr. Willius recommends many changes
and improvements, among which are en
tirely dispensing with the booths, but if
they are retained a new style should be
adopted, and repairing such present
booths as would warrant a reasonable ex
penditure.
That a complete telephone system be
acquired by the city, placing a telephone
In connection with each patrol box.
Replacing all present boxes with patrol
boxes of modern design, and If this is not
done, all in use at present should be
overhauled and have positive cut-outs
added. Twelve new boxes should be add
ed, making a total of 100.
The circuits throughout the entire sys
tem should be rearranged.
A change should be made to the central
energy system and adopting a storage
battery, or dispensing with batteries en
tirely, except for telephone purposes.
The registers and relays should be re
newed.
Proper stable equipments should be In
stalled in all patrol wagon stables.
An officer's call bell should be added to
every box.
He recommends the consideration of the
feasibility of a new system throughout;
one embracing all the essential features
above mentioned, one which is simple In
detail and not using relays, registers,
complicated patrol boxes or a large num
ber of batteries.
As to whether or not the superintendent
of the police patrol telegraph and his as
sistants have performed their duty prop
erly, Mr. Willlus says, "taking into con
sideration the condition of the system
and the difficulties encountered in suc
cessfully operating the system, it would
not be Just to find fault with the manner
in which the system is being operated;
on the contrary, it Is surprising that even
the present results are attained."

for the year and a number of important
business matters discussed.
The attendance was large and the dis
cussion of a new code of by-laws for the
association, which was the most impor- ,
tant business of the evening, was spirited
and at times a little heated. The new
code cuts out the board of directors,
which has been a part of the official
mechanism of the association in previous
years, and gives the powers formerly
held by them into the hands of an ex
ecutive committee. A proposed clause
giving this committee the right to make
rules for the annual exhibitions ""w&a
warmly discussed and finally defeated.
The code was accepted after two hours'
debate, with several minor amendments.
The association decided to hold the
next annual convention in St. Paul the
second week in February, 1900. By ballot
it was decided to hold subsequent exhi
bitions the second week in January, in
conjunction with state conventions of
other associations.
The election of officers for the year re
sulted In the choice of Lawrence Hope
as president; G. A. Loth, first vice presi
dent; Capt. Phil Schweitzer, second vice
president; H. F. Huelster, secretary
treasurer.
The balloting for vice presidents "at
large, of which every congressional dis
trict in the state Is entitled to one, re
sulted in the selection of Q. D. Holden,
Owatonna; William M. Bean, Anoka; J.
G. Osmundson, Nerstrand; S. L. Chaplit,
Luverne; J. E. Brown, Dodge Center;
Oscar Turner, Minneapolis, and G. P.
Ritt, St. Paul.
The Webb Printing company was
named the official printer of the com
pany.. Steps were taken to secure a
deficit of $236.12 still outstanding, to off
set which the treasurer reported a bal
ance of cash on hand amounting to $50.
Sharp Butterfleld, of London, Ont.,
was selected as judge for the next an
nual exhibition, in company with George
D. Holden, of Owatonna. Mr. Butterfleld
has the reputation of being the best
Judge of poultry that can be procured.
Twenty new members were reported
by the secretary from the Twin Cities
and outside points.
