Nikola Tesla Invents an Apparatus for
Which Wonders Are Claimed.
Nikola Tesla, the electrician, has in
vented an apparatus with which he says
it is possible to cure any organic dis
ease, including consumption Here
after nobody need die, except as the re-
suit of old age or accident, for the inven-
ton of Mr.. Tesla will he within the
reach Of everybody, inasmuch as them
vcntor will, he says, present the world
with the fruit of his labors. The cures
will be effected by means of thorough
shaking up of the human system. Mr..
Tesla calls the treatment system Of
mechanical vibra tions, and his up
paratus he calls an oscillator. He said
that he had not yet tested the APP
paratus upon consumptive, and
therefore did not wish to give pub
lie expression TO his conviction that it
would infallibly cure that disease.
What made him believe, however, that
it would be productive of such result
was that he had received the assurance
of an Austrian professor who had tried
it, he said, successfully upon several
consumptive patients.

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A New Discovery Which is Worth
That Much.
To Anyone Afflicted With Piles.

To Anyone Afflicted With Files.
The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new.
painless remedy which has been SO
remarkably successful in curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and it is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure of
this obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ. G. Hinkly, of Col Mississippi
ST, Indianapolis, Ind, says: l had
been terrible sufferer from piles for
Is years and no remedies benefited
me, until saw an advertisement of
the Pyramid Pile Cure; got q pack
age, also package of Pyramid Pills
and used both according to directions.
I was astonished at the immediate re-
lief obtained and now honestly be-
lieve theP yramid to be the only GER
tain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad l
was, will say that l was confined to
nv bed and went before the college
physicians here who said my case was
q new one to them and wanted seven
or eight hundred dollars to undertake
cure: the great pain had brought on
q rupture, aud knew an operation
would be death to me on account of
blood poisoning. Nearly everyone
here knows of my terrible suffering
from piles and l feel that l cannot
praise the Pyramid Pile Cure enough,
and the Pyramid Pills also. My hus-
band will join me in highly recon-
mending the Pyramid, my daughter
was cured by one box only. For sew
eral years Il weighed but about 80
pounds, now l weigh $50 and feel in
perfect health.
This seems to be the universal
testimony of every sufferer from piles
who have ever tried the Pyramid;
it is the safest, most painless pie cure
yet discovered; contains no opiate,
morphine, cocaine or any poisonous
ingredient whatever, has soothing,
healing effect from the first applica,
tion, and the moderate price places it
within the reach of everyone needing
treatment. The Pyramid Pile Cure
is sold by druggists at so cents and
$1.O0 per package and the Pyramid
Pills at 25 cents per box.

Facts About Greenbacks.

The efforts of our patriotic Roths
childs agents in Washington to wipe
out the blood bought green back
raises this objection from the "Solid
South" Says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton:
Now that the claim has been set up
that the greenbacks constitute III
"endless chain" that draws gold out
of the treasury, it may be we'll to look
into the facts of history little.
How long has this "endless chain"
been pumping" gold out of the
treasury? The greenbacks were in
circulation before specie payments
were resumed and they have been in
circulation ever since. What damage
did they do to the gold reserve be-
fore the banks induced Mr.. Cleve-
land to violate the law by declaring
that these notes were redeemable in
gold alone and not in coin? Let us
look into the matter.
On the 1st of January, 1879, after
the resumption of specie payments,
the net gold in the treasury amount
ed to S114, 1850. The "endless
chain" of greenbacks was in opera.
ton then as it is nov, and yet at the
end of nine years Tin 1889 the gold i'll
the treasury amounted to $2lS. 1885,
255. and this in the face of the fact
that the Bland Allison silver coinage
act had been in operation for ten
years.
From 1888 to 1891 the amount of
gold in the treasury was never us
small as it was in 1879. In July of
1892 it had sunk to the 1879 point, but
in October, 1892, it had risen to 1924
900, 1000. But in 1893 Mr.. Cleveland
with his gold ideas, took charge of
the treasury, discredited silver by re-
fusing to recognize it as debt-pa ying
money, opened the treasury to the
greedy gold spectators, and from
that day to this confusion and uncer-
tainty have reigned supreme in our
currency system, business of all kinds
has been FRUSTRATED, industry paraly-
zed, and billions of dollars worth OF
property has been conliscated-ali to
the end that few men in New York
might be able to force the issue OF
bonds.
All this ruin has been wrought and
no man knows what the end is to be-

TO AID NAVAL RESERVE.

Branch of the Navy League Organized at
Toronto, Ont.
A branch of the Navy league was
organized at Toronto, Ont, the other
day with large number of members,
among whom are some of the most
prominent residents of that city. Hon.
G. A. Kirkpatrick, lieutenant governor
of Ontario, is honorary president. One
of the objects of the league is to bring
about the establishment, if possible, at
HalifaX, Vancouver and other suitable
ports of ships in which Canadian sea-
men may be drilled in gunnery and
qualify themselves for the naval re-
serve force of the empire. It is urged
that the Canadian government, by an
equitable arrangement with the moth
er country, should take the initiative
in this matter.

A tired stomach is very much like a
sprained ankle. If you suffer from
any of the symptoms of dyspepsia,
your stomach is tired. 1t needs a
crutch. We must relieve it OF all
work for time, or until it is restored
to its natural strength. TO do this
successfully, we must use a food
which is already digested outside OF
the body, and which will aid the di-
gestion of other foods that may be
taken with it. Such product is the
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
The Shakers have utilized the
digestive principles present in plants
for the manufacture of this article, and
its success has been truly phenomenal.
You can try it for the nominal sum of
10 cents, as sample bottles are sold by
all druggists at this price.

pie of $4,000, 900; in 1894, of %, 900, 900,

might conclude that the high toned

who had discovered two bucks few

Hastily starting, the men did not carry
a large supply of ammunition and what
they had was all used or wasted in bag
ging the deer. Starting back to camp.
they encountered a bear and as they
could not shoot they ran, each going
in different direction.
The bear chased the guide and he
took the direct course toward the camp
log house, where his wife was pre-
pairing a meal. With a yell he dashed
into the house and up into the loft.
His wife ran out of the back door,
closed it, and as the bear had gone in
side she hurried around, closed the
front door and made the bear a prisoner.
The intrepid woman then tied deg
to a pole, thrust the bowling caEine
through the door and thus coEXed the
bear out. AS bruin appeared she struck
him with an aX and killed him at tho
