GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
Disposition on Part of Both Coun.
tries to Establish Harmony.
Kaiser Anxious to Have the Gar and
Czarina Fulfill Their Promise to Visit
Berlin-Probability That They
Will Soon Do So.

The desire of the government to ce
ment friendly relations between Ger
many and Russia is shown by the tone
of the officially inspired press IN their
articles descriptive of and commenting
upon the ceremonies of the coronation
of the car at Moscow. Since the sue
cession of Nicholas II to the Russian
throne, every step the kaiser has taken
toward the establishment of concord
between Germany and Russia has met
u responsive movement on the part Of
the Russian court and government; still
the emperor will not be satisfied that
complete harmony exists until visit
on the part of the car and czarina to
Berlin shall confirm publicly that
thoroughly good relations between the
two emperors have been restored. Up
to the present time the Berlin court has
received no positive notification of the
intention of the car and czarina to pay
visit to Berlin, but the kaiser holds
the cars promise that such visit shall
occur in the course of the year. It'll I'M
derstood that the first journey that inn
perial couple will take outside of Rus
STA after the coronation fetes will be to
Copenhagen and the next trip will be to
Darmstadt, the former home of the
ezarina. After leaving Darmstadt the
understanding is that the car and
czarina will come to Berlin and remain
four days. The feature of the semi
official comments in German articles
referred to is their tendency to dilate
upon the growth of the influence of Rus
sia in Europe and the east as compared
with the decrease Of England's in
huence in the same regions.

Mischief In Its Eyes.
The town of Denver, few miles north
of Peru, Ind, has contained u greatly
agitated set of citizens during The past
few days, owing to the report of mon
ster snake roaming about in the woods
near town, which is made by Fri Gustin,
well-lnown and reputable citizen.
Mr.. Gustin tells that he and his wife,
together with another woman were
coming home one evening in the buggy,
and just about dusk they passed through
the woods q little to the east of town
when their horse became suddenly
frightened and almost fell to the ground
through fright. They looked past tho
anirnal into the shadows of the trees
ahead, and the sight they beheld almost
frightened them to death, and the WON
en- were made hysterical. It was q
monster snake, and it's description Is
thus given in Mr.. Gustin's own terms:
Such q snake never saw. It lay on
a 12-foot log, extending it's body the en-
tire length of the log, with its head ele-
waited two feet, tapping it's forked tongue
out at us, while mischief lurked in its
wicked-loolsing eyes. Its tail reached
from the log six feet or more to the
fence and from that through the rails
as far back as l could see into the field
at the side of the woods. We were in
mortal fear of our lives, and how we ever
got our horse away from the place in
safety cannot tell.

TO CURE PILES.
A Remedy That Will Do It and Is
Perfectly Safe.


We take pleasure in calling atten-
ton to new pile cure which has
been remarkably successful in curing
every form of itching bleeding or
protruding piles. The remedy is
known as the Pyraluid Pile Cure and
is recommended by the best medical
authorities on account of it's absolute
safety, ease of application and instant
relief from pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains NO
opium or other poison and does not
interfere with daily occupation while
using, People who believed nothing
but surgical operation would cure
them have been astonished at the re.
suits from a single so cent package of
the Pyramid.
Mrs. Mary. G. Tyler of Heppner,
Oregon, writes: One package of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure entirely cured me of
piles from which | have suffered for
years, and have never had the slight.
est return Of them since.
Mr.. %. V Brlen, Rock Bluff, Neb.,
says: The package OF Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace of
itching piles. l cannot thank you
enough for it.

ANTl-sEMlTIc FEELING.
Reason Given for Its Growth in America
by English Hebrew Organ,

Reason Given for Its Growth in America
by English Hebrew Organ.
Apropos of the growth of anti-Semitic
feeling in America, the Jewish Chron-
icle, the leading Hebrew organ in Eng
land, says it desires to speak plainly on
painful subject. A feeling against the
Jews, it declares, has found it's way into
the freest country in the world by the
catentatious bearing of some of that
race. The aggressive behavior of some
Jews with more money than refinement
reflects upon the whole Jewish COM
1nunity and is working untold harm.
The paper adds that Germany's harsh
treatment Of Mr.. Louis Stern, of New
York, whose bail of $4,000 marks was
forfeited at Munich because of his fail
ure to surrender himself to serve the
sentence of IA days imprisonment i'm
posed upon him for insulting the deputy
commissioner of the spa at Kissingen,
is thought in Ron-Jewish circles in
america to have been due to Stern's I'M
wise conduct. The instance ought to
serve as warning for other American
Jews to take to heart.

The Victorious East.

| The eastern republican "bossesn and
| newspapers are claiming the credit of
having compelled the republicans of
the middle and west and south TO ac-
cept straight gold platform. There
can be no Intelligent, honest denial
that this claim is we'll founded. The
fact that they had the help of such
men as Foraker, General Lew Wal
lace, Alger and the Chicago polite
ians in no way impairs that claim. A
compact, aggressive, skillfully led
minority of about one-third of the
convention compelled the adoption
of their financial plank. Evidence
accumulates almost hourly that the
eastern democrats will try to accom-
plish a similar result at Chicago. Ten
days ago eastern democrats were prac-
tically ready to allow their conven-
ton to go by default. Since then Mr..
Cleveland has spoken, declaring that
all is not yet lost. w. G. Whitney has
abandoned his intended trip to Eu-
IOpS ~ oc Ut lllG chicago
convention, and has given out an
elaborate interview on the democrat
ic situation. He somewhat surprises
the country by ayowing himself a
strong bimetalist on almost any terms
except 16 to /. Present indications
are that the influence of a powerful
commercial and financial combination
will be brought to bear to control the
Chicago convention as was done at
st. Louis. If any strictly private re-
publican's aid is needed to accomplish
that purpose it can no doubt be had
from New York, and some other cas-
tern points. The democrats of the
west and south might do we'll to care
fully note the development of this
new and unexpected movement OF
their Influential brethren in the east.
