Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cure.

Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cure.
People who have suffered for years ..r
months from the pain and inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles will look
with skepticsm upon the claims of the
makers of the new discovery for cure OF
all forms of piles, known under the name
of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the ex-
traordinary cures performed by this reme-
dy are such as TO warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas of substation No. 8.
Hosack Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, writes
as follows:
YOU to use my name if 1t will be of any
use to you. l was so bad with the piles
that / lost work on that account. Moth
ing did me any good. l read in Cincinnati
of the many cures of piles by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and l went to a drug store
and asked for 1t. The drug clerk told me
that he had something else that he
thought was better, but l told him that 1
wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
tried another and then to complete the
cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. l am now completely cured
Have not a trace of piles, and had suf-
of protruding piles.
l suffered death from piles, but 1 have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. I have recommended It to
several of my friends and l am thankful
to be able TO write you what good the
remedy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium. CO
caine, or mineral poison of any kind. and
because it is so safe and pleasant to use.

COMMISSIONERS AFTER COLLIER.
Opposition 10 Deal May End In Big
Increase in His Taxes

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 19.-Several weeks
ago George w. Collier, accounted one of
the wealthiest men in the county, employ
ed lawyer to break up trade between
the county and city by which the latter
bought the present court house and the
former was to build new one. AS a
large taxpayer, Mr.. Collier objected to the
deal and his attorney applied for an in
Junction, This act on the part of Mr.. Col
lier has caused the board of commission
ers to cherish no very loveable feeling to-
ward him, ana to-day the board deter
mined to play for even with him. The
tax books were examined and il was
found that Mr. Collier returns property
which the commissioners think is worth
S000,000 at little over $4,000 The board
proposes to compel MIR. Collier to return
his property at a fair valuation, and thus
get even with him for his fight against
the court house trade. In order to do
this, the county attorney has been instruct
ed to investigate the matter and give his
opinion as to whether the board has the
right to go behind the returns on the tax
digest and enforce this revision. Until
thiE ls done the tax receivers pay for
making of the digest is held up. If the
board carries out its purpose Col. Coll
lier will have to pay dearly for his fight
on their trade with the CITY.

MIRACLE IN a CHURCH.
An Image of the Virgin Appears
Upon the Wall.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 16.-There is much
excitement among the church people here
over the appearance of the figure of the
Madonna on the east wall of St Johns
Catholic church on Fig street. over the
thirteenth station, which represents the
taking of Christ from the cross. The figure
of the Virgin appears to stand out from
the wall when viewed from a short dis
lance, but when the observer comes closer
the relief figure gives way to a very dis
tinct outline on the wall.
A young woman noticed the apparito
first Sunday night at her devotions. but
paid no attention to it, mistaking it for
a shadow, but yesterday several hundred
saw it while attending the o'clock mass
and the attention of Rev. Father Meney,
the pastor was called to it. He made an
examination and felt inclined, at first, to
discredit belief IN anything of super
natural nature, but finally was obliged to
concede that it was a decidedly peculiar
matter, and to-day he is fairly impressed
with the belief that the image is that of
the Virgin.
Devout Catholics from all sections of the
city and surrounding towns focked to the
church to-day, and so dense did the crowd
become that 1t was necessary to call the
police to keep them from blocking the
entrance to the church. The figure repre-
sents the head and shoulders of the Virgin,
with head Slightly elevated, and a veil
hanging from the crown and over the
shoulders.
The presence of sunlight intensifies the
image, and even the most increduous are
now inclined to believe that it resembles
the upper portion of Murillo's great paint
ing of the Madonna. The excitement ana
religious fervor have reached such ex-
tremes that many i'll persons visited the
church to-day in hopes of being relieved.
St Johns church is a wooden structure
built ten years ago, and is in a part of
the city inhabited chiefly bV steel workers

BnUNsWICK's SEWERAGE.
The Times Falls In Line With the
Morning News CorrespOndent,

Morning News Correspondent.
Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 1.-THE continued
stories of facts concerning Brunswick's
sewerage system in this correspondence
has aroused Brunswickians. The Times
tomorrow will contain a column editorial
based on facts published in the Morning
News to-day. 1t will refer to what this
correspondence has maintained in regard
to Brunswick's sewerage and join hands
with the Morning News correspondent in
endeavoring to secure justice from War
ing, Chapman & Farguar, the engineers.
The Times accepts the suggestion made in
the Morning News correspondence to-day
that a commission composed of the old
sewerage board of council be appointed
and empowered to confer with the engin-
eering firm who made the error in the es-
innate regarding Bruhswicks sewerage,
and secure from them a pledge to pay for
their error. The Mornig News correspond
ent has to the present date stood alone in
a fight against powerful odds to secure a
satisfactory system of sewerage for the
money paid. The stand which the Times
has taken in it's editorial for tomorrow
bears eloquent testimony to the power of
the arguments and facts given by the
Morning News correspondent.

Kansas, Underground Crop.

From the Sedgwick (Kan) Paragraph.
There is probably plenty of corn in all
the Kansas cornfields this year if the
farmers only knew where to look for it,
A farmer last week turned his hogs into
the stalks because there were no ears on
the stalks and he thought the hogs might
be able to live in the field. To his great
surprise he noted in a few days that his
swine were getting sleek and fat
Determined to solve the mystery, he
watched the drove and noticed them root
ing around the roots of the hills of corn
and grubbing out good ears on which they
were fattening. He attributes this strange
phenomenon to the drought, which has
caused the corn to ear out so short that in
many fields the ears form underground
like peanuts or potatoes.
