ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that it cures every form
OF Piles without one particle of pain.
This desirable point is not obtained
by the use of injurious opiates which
simply deaden and paralyZe the nerves
OF the parts and make matters worse
in the long run. But it is done solely
by its remarkable healing and soothing
effects.
And while it thus gives immediate
relief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
is rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a par
ticle Of pain. If
This fact is one reason for.the great
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind Of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is overwhelmingly painful, besides
endangering the life of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither IN
making successful scures without pain
nor in eheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to allow
it to be c1assed with the many salves,
suppositOries, pills, ETC., and you run
no risk in trying it, as is often the
case with new and untried prepara-
TONS
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co, of AL
hion, Mich, and sold by druggists at
so cents per package.

SENATE COMMITTEES In FAVOR OF
RECOGNIZING THE TNsURGENT
REPUBLIC.
VOTE DELAYED TILL FRIDAY.
LIKELY TO BE ADOPTED AT
THAT TIME.
THE RESULT MAY PROVE SERIOUS.
Conservative Members Pleaded for
More Time Before Taking So
Important n Step.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The senate
committee on foreign relations held
meeting today, which was devoted to
consideration of the Cuban resolu-
tlons which have been referred to it.
No action was taken, and the commit
tee adjourned to meet on Friday. The
committee took no vote on any promo
sit1on, but there was sufficiently gem
eral expression of opinion to lead the
friends of a declaration favorable to
Cuban independence to conclude that
II vote had been taken they would
nave won. While all the resolutions
before the committee were read and
commented upon, the general tendency
Was towards the simple declaration for
independence contained in the Gamer,
on joint resolution, which was intro
duced Immediately after the close of
last weeks meeting, and it is believed
that an affirmative vote would have
been reached on proposition embody-
ing this idea but for the plea of some
OF the more conservative members for
delay with the hope of getting more
definite information than is now OBJ
tainable.
All the members of the committee
complain of the absence of accurate
data upon which to proceed, and some
OF them complain that there is a tend
ency to eXaggeratiOn on both sides of
the cuban controversy which renders
the problem of what to do all the more
difficult to congress. The Cameron
resolution as introduced is as follows:
Resolved by the senate and house of repre-
sentauves, That the independence of the re-
public of Cuba be, and the same is hereby
acknowledged by the United States of Ameri-
Second That the United States should use
its friendly Offices with the government of
Spain to bring to close the war between
Spain and Cuba.
Senators Sherman, Cameron and
Turpie were appointed a sub-commit-
tee to go to the state department and
confer with Secretary Olney for the
purpose of seeing if he had any further
information which might be placed at
the disposal of the committee and also
to ascertain more particularly what
his views upon the effect Of any defin-
tie declaration by congress might be-
The question was raised in the COM
mittee that action by congress might
produce results of great seriousness
and this had the effect of postponine
action today Another point raised
was that 1t would be in violation of all
precedent for congress to recognize re-
publics or other forms of new govern
ments, but several members declared
that the time for ignoring precedents
had arrived, consequently it is predict
ed that on Friday the Cameron reso-
luton will be reported favorably
One reason given for the delay is
that although the committee may re-
] port a resolution, it is not desirable to
have it passed before the holiday re-
cess. The result of passing such a
resolution by the senate might be such
as to demand immediate action by con-
gress and by the terms of the resolu-
ton already agreed to, congress will
not be in session from Dec. % until
Jan s.

HOT SPRINGS HOSPITAL
Furnished the Feature for the Ses-
sion of the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The day in the
house was productive Of little progress. The
army appropriation bill was under discussion
but a deadlock occurred over the PROPOSE
ton for the abandonment of the army and
navy hospital at Hot Springs, Ark, and the
house adjourned.
After a resolution offered by Mr.. Bailey
Dem. Texas calling for an investigation
of the battleship Texas, had been referred on
motion of Mr.. Dingley the pending appropria-
ton bill was taken up in committee Of the
whole. The only new provision was for the
abandonment of the army and navy hospital
at Hot Springs, Ark Several amendments
were offered and debated but all went down
under points of order. The decision of the
chair declaring the amendment to except the
Hot Springs hospital, out of order, was over
ruled by the house. The amendment was then
adopted. When the bill was laid before the
house the Hot Springs hospital amendment
was adopted, 70 to ~. Mr.. Little made the
point of no quorum. so at 4:10 p m. the
house adjourned, leaving the bill unfinished.

ANARCHISTS SENTENCED.
TWenty-Eight Are to BE Put to
Death In Spain.

BARCELONA. Spain, Dec. 16.-The court
martial of the anarchists arrested for COM
plieity in the recent disturbances here, has
been concluded. The sentences imposed are
kept secret, but it is believed that twenty
eight of the anarchists have been condemned
to death, and ffty-nine others to penal servi-
tude. The outrage for which these men were
the religious procession of Corpus Christi.
Just as the procession was entering the
church of Santa Maria del Mar a bomb was
thrown into the~procession and exploded, kill
ing six persons instantly and wounding fifty
others, both in the procession and among the
spectators, many of them subsequently dying
of their injuries.

NAV Meet tine 500 Rate.

The Chcago-St. Paul lines yesterday re-
ceived authority from Chairman Caldwell of
the Western Passenger association to meet
the rate placed in effect by the 500 on the
18TH of one fare for the round trip between
the Twin Cities and the East. The st. Paul
Chicago lines, unless the joint traffic lines
agree in the rate will have to pay the latter
roads their full proportion east of Chicago,
which would be a losing venture. So far as
1t could be learned yesterday no tickets were
sold via Chicago on the reduced rate.

500 SETS THE PACE
In the Matter of Excursion Business
to the East.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The 500 line con-
tinues to set the pace for "the Western
roads in the matter of excursion business to
the East. 1t has now announced that it will
pay commissions about three times as large
as those that the Western roads able
to pay. The Western roads can, of course.
pay any commission rate they choose, but
they cannot meet the commission rate of the
500 line and carry the business at profit.
Some of the lines have asked Chairman Cald-
we'll to permit them to meet the commissions
of the 500. He has consented to a limited
extent, and has asked the board of managers
of the Joint Traffic association to join in
with the Western roads in meeting this lat
est cut Of the Soo but there is very
small probability that it will be done.

Coroner David Halves when ap.

BUSINESS OF the Rock Island county
board in matters where the good
name OF the county is involved is

suppose that having offered reward
OF $500 for the capture Of the muir

hesitate to approve of such expendi-
ture as would be essential to settling
the present apprehension.
There is something more than pub
lie curiosity to be gratiiied in the
proper course, which is clearly ap-
parent. Every principle of justice
demands that this case be thoroughly
investigated and every shadow of
suspicion removed. explained or sus-
tanned before it is abandoned.
