The anthracite coal trade continues to
drag along in a rather unsatisfactory way for
the operators md shippers. Dealers and
consur""~s ia ala parts Of the country have
been huyins coal rather spariugly for the
past mouth and the producing companies are
compelled to store good portion of their
newly mined product at the various dstribut-
ing ports in the east, the western markets
being already we'll supplied. The miners
strike in the Hazleton region is, of course
affecting somewhat the tonnage of the Le
high Valley railroad and the Central Rail
road of New Jersey, but all requirements Of
coal from their lines can be readily recovered
later in the season, after the Hazleton col
lieries have resumed work. There is a de-
sire on the part of one or two Of the larger
mining and carrying companies to increase
the circular prices for anthracite on October
l. but as none of the companies are now able
to get full July prices for the little coal they
are selling it is deemed unwise by the other
companies to make the proposed advance.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause Of sleeplessness that Can Be
Readily Overcome


Mr. WIN. Haudschu. Of seth ST., Cotton
Alley Piusburg, Pa, expresses himself as
follows regarding the now remedy for that
common and obstinate disease piles II take
pleasure in stating that I was so afflicted
with piles that for three months | got no
regular sleep l became completely pros
tratod, the doctors did me no good; my
brother told me of the now remedy for piles,
Che Pyramid Pile Cure; purchased from my
druggist three 30 cent bottl and taoy com.
plctely cured me I am once moro at my
work and but for this excellent medicine !
should be on my back take great pleasure
i'm writing this letter because so many people
are sufferers from this trouble who like my
self did not know whore to look for per-
mancut, reliable, safe curc
/ Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure I'm
the past three years has demonstrated to the
medical profession, as well as to thousands Of
sufferers from piles, that it is the safest and
most encctual cure over offered to the public,
containing no opiates or poisons Of any kind,
/ painless and convenient to handle and being
sold by druggists at 80 cents and 81 per box,
is within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes have
made a complete cure Of chronic cases that
had not yielded to other remedies for years.
D Zero is scarcely disease more aggrayat-
| ing and obstinate to cure than the various
forms Of piles and It is a common practice to
use ointments, salves and similar prepara-
tious containing dangerous poisons to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has superseded
all of these Intellectual remedies and no ore
suffering with any rectal trouble make any
mistake in giving the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature Of your trouble
send to the Pyramid Drug Co., Albion, Mich.
for a valuable little book on piles, describing
all firms of the disease and describing th,
method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the PyramiJ
Pile Cure as it is the best known and mos
popular remedy for piles and if you ask hin
he can doubtless refer you to many people il
your vicinity who have been cured com
pletely by it.

of land should be made to correspond
with the present genera sentiment as
to it's comparative value, we would sus-
tain in this particular alone a loss in
taxable values of from ten to twenty
five million dollars; and his at the
present rate of taxation wOuld mean
a loss in state and county revenues of
from $685. 900 to $3.50, 900 in one year.
The irregularities in listing, Of course,
begin in the counties, and it may be in
teresting to note some illustrations as
to the differences that have occurred
there. In doing this we will only notice
the returns for the last four years., viz:
1893, 1894, 1895, and 1896. For instance,
one county (Alamance), returned for
taxation in 1898, 234, 600 acres; in '94,
231, 900 acres; in '95, 235, 900 acres in go,
265. 900 acres, thus showing a difference
between one year and mother during
the past four years., OF $4,000 acres In
that county. The returns as a whole
show an increased acreage OF taxable
land in that county,.
I believe that there has been some
legislation affecting the boundaries of
this county and Chatham county. IT
the effect was to increase the area or
Alamance, it is. to be expected that
there would be an increase in the mum
Der of acres r~eturnable for taxation.
But an increase in Alamancew would nat
urally cause a decrease in Chatham's
acreage, and we would expect Chatham
to show a decrease in the subsequent re-
ports. The fact is, however, that Chat
ham also reports an increase during the
! past four years of from our to six
thousand acres, and instead OF being
able to account for the increase in
| Alamance on account Of a change in
boundary lines, if there was any, we
find an aggravated case Of imperfec-
| ton in our system of listing. or an m
! phasis Of something like carelessneSs

FARMER AND MINER.

The action taken by the California
Miners Association and the Anti-De-
bris Association in appointing commit
tees to confer in regard to the great
problems that have been before these
associations for so many years, is
step in the right direction. This action
has been brought about the interposi-
ton of a committee of the Chamber
of Commerce of this city, assisted and
seconded by the Board of Trade of Ne
vada City. If one half is accomplished
that is now promised these gentlemen
will have rendered a most valuable
service to both farmers and miners and
to the State at large. The work they
have thus far performed has produced
valuable results. They have succeeded
in bringing about a better state of
feeling between two great organiza-
tions which have been at war many
years. They have induced these
organizations to appoint committees
and meet and consult as to
the best mode of procedure to
accomplish what both have all the
time professed to desire, that is, to
solve the question of how the great
mining interests of the northern part
of the State can be saved from ruin and
the rivers and farming lands below res
cued from destruction through the
operation of the mines. If this can be
brought about, who is there that will
say it is not desirable, or that any eff
repaid, if the hoped for result is ac-
coInplfshed?
We are well aware that there are
those who claim that certain classes
of mining cannot be prosecuted with
out destruction of the rivers and the
bottom lands lying along them. We
have been of the opinion that if this
situation had presented itself to almost
any of the countries of Europe engin-
eering skill would have solved the
problem. 1t may be done here for we
can certainly command engineering
skill equal to that of any country on
earth But whether the desired end
can be accomplished or not. it is we'll
to make the effort. Surely the inter
ests involved are Of sufficient impor-
tance to command the most earnest
efforts of all concerned. Quarreline
and lighting over it and refusing to
make any effort can result in no good
to either side of the controversy, but on
the other hand cripple ana injure both.
We are glad, therefore, that at last
an earnest effort is to be made to RENE
dy the evils of the past and that both
sides appear willing to pull together
to this end.
AS we understand it the representa-
tives of the miners have frankly ad-
mitted that the first great step must
be the protection and Improvement OF
the rivers; that they recognize thai
they must so conduct their business as
not to injure the rivers or the property
of others. When this is accomplished
they hope that the skill of the United
States engineers in whose hands the
whole question has already been plac-
ed, will find some way in which mining
can be carried on without injury t
the rivers and valleys To assist in the
solution of the question is the duty o1
the people of both sections and the ac-
ton recently taken gives promise tha-
something Will be accomplished in the
