NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of SIeepIessness That Can
BE Readily Overcome.

Mr.. William Handschu, of Fffty-siXth
street, Cotton alley. Pittsburg Pa, ex-
presses himself as follows regarding the
new remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: II take pleasure in stating
that 1 was so afflicted with piles that for
three months / got regular sleep. be-
came completely Frustrated, the doctors
did me no good; my brother told me of the
new remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile
Cure. l purchased from my druggist three
50-cent bottles and they completely cured
me. I am once more at my work, and but
for this excellent medicine / should be on
my back. 1 take great pleasure in writing
this letter, because so many people are
sufferers from this trouble. who. like my
self, did not know where to look for per-
manent, reliable, safe cure"
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
in 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 effectual cure ever
offered to the public, containing no opiates
or poisons of any kind, painless and con-
venient to handle and being sold by drug
gists at so cents and 81 per box, is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes have
had not yielded to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the vari-
Gus forms of piles, and it Isl a common
practice to use ointments, salves and SINH
lar preparations containing dangerous poi
sons to remove the trouble. The Pyramid
has superseded all of these Intellectual
remedies, and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble makes any mistake in giving
the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co., AL
bion, Mich, for a valuable little book on
piles. describing all forms of the disease
and describing the method of cure
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure, as it is the best known and most
popular remedy for piles, and If you ask
him he can doubtless refer you to many
people in your vicinity who have been
cured completely by it.

A Series of Losses.

point is that of a Chestnut-street tailor.
who bought quite valuable dog a few
days ago, and started to lead it TO his store.
The string which led the risky animal was
not a very strong one, but it held out all
right until the dogs new owner had landed
the animal in his store. Here, however, the
dog got tangled up in a chair and managed
to break the slender bond that held him.
''Hi" shouted the tailor to his salesman,
''shut the doors or he'll get out" The sales
man rushed to the front door and closed
it Just in time. The dog scratched at the
bottom of the door until the tailor came
up to grab him. Then the animal made
wild break for the rear door. The salesman
strained every muscle to head the dog off,
but he lost the race by a neck. The dog
jumped out into the rear street and disap-
peared. The salesman turned around to see
where his employer was and the next mo-
ment he saw a large constellation of beau
tiful stars. The tailor in his rage had struck
him on the nose. When the salesman recov-
cred he struck back, and the tailor with q
badly swollen eye sat down upon his own
new silk hat. So. because he had lost his
temper, the tailor also lost his dog. his hat,
and his salesman. who left the next day.

The HayIOft.

Through all the pleasant meadow side
The grass grew shoulder high,
Till the shining scythes went far and wide
And cut it down to dry.
These green and sweetly smelling crops
They led in wagons home
And they piled them here in mountain tops
For mountaineers to roam.
Here is Mount Clear. Mount Rusty-Nail,
Mount Eagle and Mount High;
The mice that in these mountains dwell,
No happier are than l!
o what joy to Chamber there
o what a place for play,
With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,
The happy hills of hay

This is the very spot to which we came
To see the hills in their September dress,
And fingered. 10th to leave such loneliness;
We sat in silence for tongues were lame
OR words were useless things with which to
name
guess,
And feared than what they were to call them
less
And now September and the hills, the same
AS then are here again; the leaves with gold
Are tinged, the sun and shadows come and go
Upon the slopes, but in my breast no glow,
No fire, no SMILE my soul unmoved and cold
Has God then turned His face from earth away ?
Nay, you were with me that other day.

FOUGHT WITH SWORDS
But Nobody's Stomach Suffered in
Consequence

VIENNA, Sept. Pa pistol duel was
fought this morning between Count Ba-
deni, Austrian Premier, and DIR. Wolff,
the German nationalist leader, arising
from insults addressed by the latter to
the Premier during yesterdays session
Of the Unterhaus. Count Badeni was
wounded in the right hand. DR.. Wolff
fought duel with swords, May Sth last,
with Herr Horisa, Czech member of the
Unterhaus. This encounter grew out of
violent scenes which occurred in the
House between the Germans and Czechs,
In which personalities were freely in
dulged in.
Count Badeni was formerly Governor
of Galicia, is a young and able Pole,
and was very little known even in Aus
tria, until unexpectedly called on to
form Cabinet, September, 1895, when
he assumed the duties of President of
the Council of Ministers and Minister
Of the Interior. His nobility only dates

What the Supreme Court Thinks OF
Stock Gambling

Stock Gambling
NEW YORK, Sept 25-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
suit brought in the United States Dis
trict Court in Omaha against the South
Omaha Live Stock Exchange was COM
menced by order of Attorney General
McKenna. Assistant Attorney Boyd
said that all the papers in the case were
prepared by the United States District
Attorney for that district and forward
ed to the department., and acting upon
these the Attorney-General directed
suit to be brought. Mr.. Boyd said the
case was Of the same general character
as that decided by Judge Foster at To
peka few days ago against the Kansas
City Live Stock Exchange. 1t is ex-
pected that one or both Of these cases
will be carried to the Supreme Court Of
the United States as soon as possible
30 as to obtain a decision by the court
Of last resort as to the points at issue.
Thus far these suits have been con-
fined exclusively to live stock exchanges
and attorneys and business men are
anxious to krow whether the courts will
hold that all exchanges which deal in
cattle, farm products and cotton or
other articles which are subject to inter-
state commerce are operating in viola
ton Of antitrust laws.
