Pyramid Pile Cure Cures piles
Quickly, PainlessIy, Without
Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. They try this and that and
the other thing; from carrying a buck
eye to getting treatment from a physi-
clan. They obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting, excessive fati-
que, little constipation or a little
diarrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable. There is in
tense local pain and that dreadful feel
ing of weight in the perineum.
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 Pyramid 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
comfort at once. It's prompt use saves
months Of severe suffering. In ex-
IRENE cases it will save surgical opera
tons and their attendant dangers and
discomforts. 1t is better than a knife.
VIII cure easier. quicker and safer.
Thousands have used it. Thousands
have been cured by it. The cost is trif1-
ing compared with what it does The
price is so cents. Most anybody would
gladly pay ten dollars to be rid of piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't it he will get it for you
from the Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion.

AT the meeting of the board of trade
yesterday, Congressman Fletcher was
present with a communication of i'm
portance relative to the government
dam work here. He informed the board
that as long ago as 1857 certain parties
more closely identified with ST. Paul
than with Minneapolis, had been grant
ed a charter to build a dam at Meeker
island. and that these parties or their
representatives were now actively en-
gagged in trying to prevent further work
on the new dams, for which the gov
eminent has lately made it's splendid
appropriation.
OF course, if the 1857 charter holds
good, and the owners of it give salts
factory evidence that they will go ahead
and build their dam, work on the later
projects must naturally be discontin-
ued. There was grave doubt, however,
Mr.. Fletcher continued. If q charter so
old and so long unsatisfied was still
valid. He recommended that the board
appoint a committee to take this mat
ter up with the state legislature this
winter and have 1t definitely settled,
that work on the new government
dams might not be interferred with in
the spring
In accordance with Mr.. Fletcher's
suggestion, five members of the legis-
lative committee, and five members of
the navigation committee of the board
were appointed to take charge Of this
important matter.

EGYPTIAN ONIONS.
Land of CheOps Produces Fine Ones
and in Immense Quantities

English impors Of onions have increa zed
from Egypt, and it Is acknow edged that tn s
country is at present the most active and
aggT essve comr ettor In the onion trade, says
a wr t-r in Chambers Journal Egypt has
been regarded by soma people the land of
pyramids and mummies only, but it has from
time immem rial had reputation for onions
Ancient Egyptian swore by the onion and
regarded the p ant as sacred. The inscrip-
ton on the pyramid of Chcops tells us that
the worf mel had onions given to them and
from the Eible we learn that the Hebrews,
when slaves under Pharaoh, enjoyed these
bulbs and that when far away they remem-
bered 1.-THE leeks and the onions and the
garlic" The trade with Egypt for onions is
now so important that four lines of steamers
are engaged in the traffic, bringing consign-
ments from Alexandria to Liverpool, Hull
and London.
The Egypt an onion is handsome and USE
full vegetable, and by selecting the best
strains of seed the quality tends year by
year to improve The Egyptians know two
varietie--th bali and the "miskaoui-
but supplies of the latter kind are seldom
sent abroad, as they absorb 50 much moisture
from the frequently irrigated ground in which
they are grown that they do not stand sea
voyage well. The bali onion is the more
popular Egypt an onion ard is grown in yell
low soil, VIII oh Is sparingly watered While
the bulbs are maturing. in order that the
onions may stand a lengthy sea voyage with
little risk of "sprouting." So excellent in
quality are these onions that efforts are 1t lis
said being made in other countries to raise
onions from Egyptian seed.

SENT FOR THE CHARTER.
Such the IntimatiOn of the X. of L.
Organizer.

A special committee of the walters union
is making round of the meetings of all the
different trades, with q view of having them
pass resolutions protesting against issuing
charter from the knights Of Labor to the
association Of employers and walters. The
resolutions are the came as those recently
passed by the walters union and the Trades
council. All the unions visited have adopted
the resolutions and assured the walters Of
their sympathy.
This action is taken because Organizer
Collins, of the Knights of Labor, intimates
that he has sent to the national knights of
Labor headquarters for the charter. He has
asked a charter for what is known as a
mixed assembly, and the walters sarcastic
ally remark that they think that term de-
scribes it. The term was formerly applied
to Knights oof Labor assemblies which or
gained for educational purposes, and there
have been a number of them in Minneapolis
The walters think that the receipt of the
resolutions from all organized labor in Min
neapols will cause Secretary John Hayes of
the Knights of Labor, to consider well before
granting a charter in this particular instance
In the last few days the non-union walters
composing the new organization have made
some oVertureS to the walters union, and a
meeting between the two is being arranged
probably for Friday evening. The grievance
committee of the Trades council will act as
arbitrator, and 1t is possible that the mat
ter will be SO arranged that only employers
will be left in the new association, and the
walters do not object in the least to dealing
with them as an organization instead of in
dividuals.
Samuel Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, in a letter recently
written 40 a Minneapolis labor leader in
Inmates that the federation will take a hand
in the matter If the Knights of Labor tries
to interfere with the walters by rival or
ganiZation. The situation has already at
tracted considerable attention outside this
city, and the matter, if not settled may come
up at the national convention of the American
Federation of Labor, to be held in Cincinnati

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov 25.-Ths
cowboys of the Laramie plains held
their annual carnival yesterday near
Laramie City. Nearly 200 "punchers'
from COW camps in various parts of
the state were present and at least
1000 visitors from Laramie City and
other towns witnessed the riding and
roping feats, which made up the greater
part of the programme.
Nearly everybody went out in wagons
and buckbOardS and formed a sort of
a corral around anfacre or so of ground
where the main performance was given.
A rope stretched around this Enclosure
gave the field a: sporty look
John Harding gave the first exhibition
of bronco busting" The horse plung-
ed and bucked and finally plunged into
the crowd. which opened out and let
him through. He was finally wearied
into submission and then Lou Bath
mounted Hunter Boy, a powerful wild
black horse He had to be bindfolded
to be saddled. Bath is a steady old
Texas rider and was doing well until
Hunter Boy got his head down and
polted for the line. His head went
under the rope, which caught Bath
about the neck and dragged him from
the saddle. y sF Sd
Hunter Boy went into the crowd of
horses, wagons and specta tors with the
rope WHICH had caught on the pomrnel
OF the saddle and fifteen or twenty
stakes dragging behind him. The rope
caught under a buggy and capsized 1t,
sp1lllng its occupants into the general
n1ix-up. Mounted cowboys finallv
caught Hunter Boy before any serious
results happened. and he was brought
back into the rirg; from which there es
were taken to prevent another tangle
Bath again mounted and his horse
again broke for the line In two Jumps
he took the wheels off two wagons,
threw several women to the ground,
and caused a general stampede, the
crowd melting away before his charges

This horse was the strongest ridden
during the day and it took his rider
three-quarters of an hour to subdue
him.
Similar feats were performed by other
cowboys. There were exhibitions of
rough and fancy riding, roping steers,
etc. The carnival ended with a parad :

ELECTRIC LIGHT POLE FIRE.

corner OF South and Meridian streets set
fire to one Of the cross pieces at the top of

burned 1ercely, says the Indianapolis Jour-

number of men were attracted from the
saloons near by, and there was momentary
excitement.

citedly. He had remained behind the others
to finish glass
The others blinked in silence, and one re-
marked: That's a fact
"Put'er out. cried the little man. 'The

Ike a little steam engine searching for a
alter tank. AS the building stood twenty
feet from the pole and the blaze was small
the others failed to become excited and stood
watching the blaze in silence. A street car
passed and then one Of the bystanders, a
big, grumpy fellow, with his hands tucked
into his coat pockets, grumbled out: "They
seen it on the street car; let 'em stop and put
it out IL they want it out"
THAT amt no business of theirs; it don't

Never, a nation of tradesmen guarantee

authors Of the war; and guarantee you that
