UPRISING IN MATABELELAND.

Late News Indicates That 1t Is q Very
Serious Insurrection.
CAPE Town, March 27.-Dispatches re.
ceived from BuluwayO, Matabeleland, in
dictate that the uprising in that part Of
the colony is very serious. kilograms
from the front merely outlined a revolt of
n few natives in the Inseza and Filabusl
tiers, including Commissary Bentley, and
the dispatch of small force of volunteers
to the scene of the disturbance. The later
dispatches show that the disturbance is
widespread and becoming hourly more
alarming. An extensive uprising of the
natives, it is understood, has taken place
and the revolt may spread to other parts
of South Africa.
The settlers in Matabeieland are flock
ing into the towns, which are being placed
in a condition for defense. Volunteers
are being enrolled everywhere, provisions
are being collected, and, in short, all the
steps necessary are being taken to meet
most serious developments. Reinforce
ments of mounted police have already
been sent to Buluwayo, Inseza and Gam
DO, and the Cape Rifles have received or
ders to prepare for active service. Sup
plies of ammunition for the Maxim guns
are being hurried to Buluwayo, and all
the horses Of the disturbed territory have
been commanded to be placed at his dis
posal by Colonel Napier, who is in charge
Of the government forces. The natives
are raiding farms and killing white Set
tiers, and rumor has it that over fifty peo-
pie have been slain.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
Iy, Painlessly. Without Danger.

People 60 along for yours suffering
with piles. Then try this and that
and that and the other thing; from
carrying buckeye to getting a
treatment from physician. They
obtain temporary relief, maybe. but
they are never quite cured. A little
strain in lifting, excessive fatigue. a
little constipation or diarrhoea and
the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to
much. but they Danish sleep and
appetite. No position is comforta-
BILE. There is intense local pain and
that dreadful feeling of weight in the
parineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case is of
long standing there is only one
speedy and sure remedy. 1t is Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. Even in light cases
it is the safest thing to use. Other
applications may cure and may not.
Pyramid Cure is always certain,
always reliable. always brings COM
fort at once. Its prompt use saves
months Of severe suffering. In ex-
treme cases it will save surgical op-
erations and their attendant dangers
and discomforts. 1t is better than a
knife. Win cure easier, quicker and
safer. Thousands have used it.
Thousands have been cured by it.
The cost is trifling compared with
what it does. The price is so cents.
Most anybody would gladly pay $40
to be rid of piles.
