Ppfclnl to The Tribune. Camp MncKcnzle, Augusta. On., Feb. 'J I. The election day was an unusually Idle one in camp. The hoys hung around listlessly and showed not the least signs of nnlmnl activity, with the exception of what little excitement was evident nt 10 o'clock In the morning when the polls for the Scranton city election were formally opened. Then several kinds of pranks were Indulged In for n time. Some of the men took the mess hells and runs' them violently, going nlnnc tho company streets after the fashion of the old time town cri ers; others, In mockery of a more high toned phase of political life, pushed wheel-harrows up and down, ready to earry to the polls auyhod who was, or pretended to be. too lazy to walk to the mess halls where the voting took place. The vote by companies was much more decisive than at the Kail elections and was stilctly In accordance, in most Instances, with party lines. The vote in the different companies was as fol lows: A for mayor, Jlolr 25, Noc-hc 4, Wil liams 1: for city treasurer Brooks 211, Itohlnson fi.

People who have suffered for months or years from the pain and Inconven ience of that common disorder, piles, will look with skepticism upon tho claims of th! makers of the new dis covery for n cure of all forms of piles, known under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraor dinary cures performed by this rem edy are such as to warrant tho inves tigation of any sufferer. As a case In point the following letter speaks for itself. Mr. Henry Thomas, of sub-station No. 3, Hosack avenue, Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: Pyramid Drug Co.: Gentlemen I want you to use my lame If it will be of any use to you. I was so bad with plies that I lost vork on that account. Nothing helped nie. 1 read In Cincinnati of the many urea of piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and I went to a drug store and asked for It. The drug clerk told me that he had something else that he thought was better, but 1 told him that t wanted to try the Pyramid flrHt. Tho first box helped me so much that I tried another, and then to com ideto the cure used two more boxes, making four In all. I am now com pletely cured. Have not a trace of slles and I had suffered r four years ivlth tho worst kind of protruding piles. 1 suffered death from piles, but I have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to bo Just as represented. I have recom mended it to several of my friends and am thankful to be able to write yon what good tho remedy has done me." Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because It contains no opium, rocalne or mineral poison of any kind, md because It Is so safe and pleas ant to use, being painless and applied U night. Tho patient is cured In a surprisingly short time and with no In convenience whatever. Tho Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 60 cents per package, and if there Is any constipation it Is well to uso the Pyramid lis at tho same time with the Pile dure as constipa tion is very often the cause of piles and the pills effectually remove the :ostlvo condition. Price of pills is 25. cents per package.

Companies K and O held no regular elections as most of their members are from Honesdale and Montrose. For the accommodation of those members of both companies who are citizens of Scranton, they were allowed to vote with H, which accounts for the large number of ballots cast In that com pany. Pt'ltSPING TIIKIR STt'DlNS. That several of the boys have been using their spare moments while In the service, to good advantage is evi dent from the fact that they have been continuing their studies. They all are students of the Scranton International Correspondence schools, and have been making rapid progress In spite of the many distractions, and the exacting duties of camp life. Those who con tinue this kind of good work and the courses of study which they pursue are: First Sergeant George Downey, of F, architecture; First Sergeant Thomas Parry of H. mining and geometry; Corporal Anthony Mayer, of F, coal mining; Company Clerk Harry R. Kdwards. of C, Geometry nnd Trig onometry; Private Chailes Mlllurd, of F, locomotive engineering; Corporals George OiliriUm and George Thirl wall and Private Palmer Williams, of the same company, stenography. The regimental hospital has been for mally closed and Is now an Institution of the past. This has been rendered necessary on account of the muster ing out of the regiment. Major Keller Is now busy taking an Inventory of everything, and In preparing all papers and records prior to rendering a final account for all property In his charge to (he government. The dispensary, however, Is still kept open, and all cases of sickness of a more serious na ture are treated In the Division hospi tal: all other cases are attended to in quarters. Major Keller and Lieutenant Merrl innn, of the medical staff, have made application to be transferred to Manila on tho mustering out of tho regiment. This is truly the "winter of discon tent" for quartermaster sergeants and company clerks. The amount of cleri cal work which thov have to do these days Is unusual. The members of Company C have been presented each with one pound of fresh butter, which was bought out of the company fund by the captain. WILL UK MARRIED.

Private John Rattle, of Company A, has been returned to duty from tho division hospital, where he was treated for rheumatism. Color Guard John J.

Company C! has had three more or derlies In succession 'Privates Frank Williams, George Schlager and John Cadwgan. This Is the third time Pri vate Schlager has been selected. Private George G. llailey. of II, is acting company clerk. The many friends of Private Obed Michaels of C, will be glad to know that he Is now convalescent. He contracted a severe cold which came near develop ing into pneumonia and caused heart trouble. For three days tho doctors and the nurses at Division Hospital were very doubtful of a recovery, but this morning the desired change came, and the patient is now safe. Private Michaels had a severe attack of fever last Summer. He Is one of the best liked members of his company, and all the boys hope that he will be ablo .o Join them on their home trip on tho 11th. Private Elmer E. Freeman, of A, who Is now on sick furlough In West Vir ginia, has been forwarded his trans portation, nnd is expected to return to camp some tlmo this week. D Company has one member who re joices In tho possession of two name?. This is Prlvato James White, whose proper nnd more euphonious name Is Jacobo Blanco. Ho Is one of the moot popular members of tho company. Private George Bailey, of II, who was recently returned to his company from tho division hospital, Is now enjoying tho best of health. First Sergeant Watrous, Quarter master Sergeant Smith and Color Ser egant P.eed, of G, gave a "peanut so cial" In their tent this nfternoon, and Invited several of their friends, iPrlvate Charles Carey, of V, who woh forlously sick and conllned to the divis ion hospital. Is now convalescing rap Idly. Miss Loretta Mulhcrln, of Scranton. but now visiting relatives In Summer vlllc, near Augusta, was a visitor In camp today, and called upon friends In the Thirteenth. Itlcra.d J. Hourke. Unknown Corpso Identified His Name Was Paul Simons Results of the Cold Snap. A little golden cross enclosed In a well-worn pockctbook and found upon the remains which were discovered on hist Thursday morning along the Le high Vnlley railroad has resulted In their Identification Just before they wore about to be conlgned to a paup er's grave. The description as stated In Tho Tribune of yesterday showed that he had been a member of a Slav onic society and this fact nt once start ed un Investigation. The result is that he was not only a member of the or ganization but had a brother who lived but a shoTt distance from where his remains were found. Ho also Is a mar ried man but for some reason had be come estranged from his family, nnd lastly hla name Is Paul Simons and was about 35 years of nee. Tho cor oner, after making a. close inspection of the body, found that besides a large gnsh upon the forehead, one of his limbs was broken In two places, but on the Injured member there was no bruise on the flesh nnd the clothing which ho wore was neither torn or soiled. This led the coroner to believe that there might bo a possibility that the man might have been murdered and tho remains placed along the track to hide a probable cilme. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. while the inquest will be conducted this afternoon by the coroner at tho olllce of Deputy Coroner Evans. The cold snap of yesterday was a very fortunate circumstance for those who lived along the west embankment of the Susquehanna in this valley from Coxton to Nantlcoke. The Ice which gorged above the railroad bridge Is still In the same condition, while the rise of the water has received a check and remained at about the same marK throughout the day. I'p nt Coxton tho Lehigh Valley has removed all their cars from the U wer branches ot their tracks while many of the residents along tho river have temovxl their household goods to places of safety. The general opinion last night was that If the present weather should continue for a few days all fear of the expected Hood will be dispelled. On the West Side many of the residents 1'iivo re moved all perishable goods from their cellars. A memorial service will bo held to morrow morning by the congregations of the Welsh and Water Street Baptist churches. W. II. Coons, of Sci.inton was the f guest of John F. Roylo anil William S. Callahan yesterday. The members of Young Men's Insti tute council took possession of their new hall yesterday in the Oliver Burke building on South Main street, and without question they have the most cozy and best appointed places of meet ing in the city. The hull nnd parlors have been newly furnished and the dee orated work on the ceilings is the fln est piece of artistic work teen here. The members are proud of their new home and they ought to be. Chaplain Johnston, of the late Ninth regiment, will moke the afternoon ad dress at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian association tomorrow after noon. The Young Men'.''
