BLEEDING PILES

And all other forms of this common
and often dangerous disease readily
cured without pain or Inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are
afflicted with some sort of piles, With
out either knowing the exact nature of
the trouble. or knowing it, are careless
enough to allow it to run without TAX
ing the simple means offered for a rad
ical cure.
The failure Of salves and ointments
to permanently cure piles has led many
to believe the only cure to be surgi-
cal operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life. and moreover not often entirely
successful, and at this time are no
longer used by the best physicians or
recommended by them.
The safest and sgrest way to cure
any case of piles, whether blind, bleed
ing or protruding, is to use the Pyra-
mid Pile cure, composed of healing
vegetable oils, and absolutely free from
mineral poisons and opiates. The fol-
lowing letter from Pittsburg gentle
man, a severe sufferer from bleeding
piles. gives some idea of the prompt,
effectual character of this pile cure.
He writes:
I take pleasure writing these few
lines to let you know that I did not
sleep for three months except for a
stert time each night because of a bad
case of bleeding piles. I was down in
bed and the doctors did me no good. A
good brother told me of the Pyramid
Pile Cure and bought from my drug
gist three fifty-cent boxes. They cured
me and I will soon be able to go to my
work again.
WILLIAM HANDSCHU,
46 St, Cotton Alley, below Butter St,
Pittsburg, Pa.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only
the safest and surest remedy for piles,
but is the best known and most pop
ular Every physician and druggist in
the country knows it and what it will
do.
Send for little book on cause and
cure of piles, describing all forms of
piles and the proper treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at all
dug stores at 80 cents per package.

sion is as follows:
We, the residents and citizens of
the village of Carver, in the county OF Car

your honorable body that the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railroad company, own
and operate railroad running in and through
the village of Carver aforesaid, and take and
receive goods, wares and merchandise con-
signed to business men and citizens of Carver,
to be delivered to such business men and citi-
zens of Carver at said village;
That said railroad company maintain no
depot or agent to receive said goods when so
consigned. and no place where said goods
may be stored, and are on some occasions
dumped off from the cars of said company
at said village and thus said goods are in
jured and destroyed or carried away by per-
sons unknown;
That said railroad is a land grant road, and
supposed to be built for the accommodation
of the citizens of Minnesota at commercial
places and at places designated in the law
Incorporating and the original grants to the
Hastings & Dakota Railroad company.
We, therefore pray that your honorable
board will take such action will compel
said company to establish and maintain
depot at said village, with such an agent as
shall be authorized to receive and care for
merchandise as shall be consigned to the busi-
ness men and citizens of Carver and vicinity.

LIFE IN SMALL CITIES.
More Comfort, Happiness and Sue
cess Than in the Big Centers.


1.-The higher saleries of the larger city is,
perhaps, what attracts young men more pot
emily than any other factor" writes Edward
W. Box in the October Ladies' Home Journal,
pointing out Where Success Awaits Young
Men"-in the smaller cities. But, unfortu-
nately," he says, las thousands Of young men
have found for themselves, these salaries are
not so high as they were led to believe, nor
will the city income buy much in the me-
tropolis as they bargained for. A salary Of
50 600 a year in a big city will not rng
young man the comfortable living which $1,000
year means to him in the smaller COM
munity. With a far more moderate salary
the rising young clerk, manager or business
man in the small city lives Ike a king in
comparison to the man of equal position in the
large center. If he earns a thousand or two
a year he has his own little home, by lease or
purchase. For $25 a month he can have his
own pretty cottage with Gods pure sunshine
on four sides of it. His cFdren have Their
own grass plat for their playground. His
porch is his evening pleasure and his Sunday
delight. Trees shade his street. cool his rooms
and make living a comfort. His friends live
all around him He knows the man who lives
next door. His neighbor's children are his
children's playmates. His social life has a
meaning to it; it IS joy and an exhilaration
to him. When he goes out in the evening
it is into a home gathering where every face
is familiar and where he is known and wei
coined. He has time to read, something
VIII ch the man in the larger city whom he
envies, has not His church is to him like
family gathering every Sunday morning. The
man in the pulpit is his pastor, who, perhaps,
has baptized him, married him, and VIII
baptize and marry his children. Respected
in his circle of friends, every step of progress
in his business is known to them, and is the
cause for congratulaton. He is within easy
walking distance Of tro'ly ride Of his
place of business. To his wife his home is
her joy and not her care. She has time for
her children, her home, her social duties, her
reading and her church. The blood of health
rushes through the veins of her children as
they sleep and play n an unpolluted atmos-
phere Life means something to such man;
it means happiDess-the true measure Of all

NATURAL AND DESIRABLE TRADE
DEVELOPMENT, SAYS DUN'S
WEEKLY REVIEW.
LABOR DOES NOT SUFFER.
WORKING FORCES INCREASED
AND WAGE RATES HIGHER
IN MANY CASES.
FOUNDATION LAID MORE BRoADL,
Solid Sense of Business Men Op-
posed to Any Speculative In
HatiOn of Values.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow: After the heaviest buying
ever known in many branches during
September and the first half Of October,
it was both natural and desirable that
more quiet period should give time
for testing the size and temper Of re-
tail trade and for distributing part of
the quantities bought. In textile goods
the rush Of orders went far beyond
all distributive demand in August and
represented great replenishment or
stocks and the similar rush for goods
has been correspondingly great in other
lines during the past two months. In
iron and steel and in boots and shoes,
there was actual danger of a specula-
tive imitation of prices, such as was
seen in 1895, but it has been avoided
apparently for this season by the solid
sense Of leading men who regard
time Of comparative quiet as essential
to the permanence of prosperity IN
their lines. AS the buying for replenish-
ment is partly satisfied and diminishes,
there is some decrease in the volume
of transactions, though at the same
time the working force has further in
creased, the wages Of labor have been
in numerous cases advanced, and the
foundation laid more broadly every
week for larger buying and business
hereafter.
The iron industry waits because pos
sible production for the year has been
practically ordered, while neither buy
ers nor sellers regard contracts at cur
rent prices for next years business
quite safe.
The severe decline in cotton is due
to widespread confidence in large esti-
mates of yield. A natural consequence
is the fall in print cloths to the lowest
point in the history Of the market and
cotton goods generally are easy with
limited sales of staples. All woolen
goods are firm, but there is no new
business of note for spring, outside of
dress goods. Sales of wool have sharp
ly decreased again at Boston, amount
ing to only 3,043,0O pounds, against
over 100000 pounds the last week
in September. Some large offerings
were made to realize profits before
prices fell, but quotations remained
unchanged because even at half a cent
decline buyers were not disposed to
take hold
The produce market acted with as
little apparent reason as usual. AL
though Atlantic exports of wheat were
S,576,607 bushels, flour included, and
for three weeks of October, 10, ,309, ,90S
bushels, against 7,742, ,214 last year, with
Eastern receipts not half a million
bushels larger, the price advanced -21a
cents. Corn with smaller receipts ana
exports barely a quarter of last year,
declined a small fraction.
Failures for the week were 224 in
the United States, against 274 last
year, and SO in Canada, against so last

YELLOW FEVER TICKLE.
Turn for the Worse In thesNew Or
leans Situation.


NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. o.
The fever situation here is as
tickle as weather vane. For
two or three days the new
cases and deaths will run to alarming
figures. On following days both cases
and deaths will drop and the impress
sion is given that high water mark
has been reached and that the disease
is on the wane. Then there will be
another jump. The situation yester-
day was extremely encouraging. To-
night at Z o'clock the cases had near
ly reached fifty and there had been 10
fewer than five deaths, of which one
was that of a distinguished citizen,
Rev. DR.. Purser, of the Valence Street
Baptist church. DR.. -Purser is from
Mississippi and was a gallant soldier
during the war. Five or six years
ago he came to New Orleans and be-
came the pastor Of a leading uptown
church. His brother is also minis
ter here and a second BROTHER is a
theological student. Three cases de-
veIoped today in the asylum for desti-
tute orphan boys, and it seems now as
if every institution of this character In
the city will be infected to some ex-
tent before the disease is stamped out
Eight or more have already reported
cases. The rest of new cases have
been swelled by three in the home Of
State Senator Cage. Mr.. Cage was
taken sick a few days ago. His wife,
who nursed him, was stricken today,
as were a relative and servant. Several
cases today appear in houses that We're
previously infected. There have been
rumors of frost on the outlying coun-
try. Capt Kirkham, of the weather
bureau, says, however, that the tenn
perature in Louisiana has been too
high for frost and that none may be
expected until November.

COMMISSIONS STILL PAID.
Western Roads Have Not Yet Ad-
justed the Matter.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The meeting today of
lhe executive committee of the Western Pas
lenger association was not able to accom-
plish much looking toward the withdrawal of
the excessive commissions being paid on
Colorado and North Pacific coast business.
Some Of the roads that were expected to send
In word Of their intentions had not replied
and ii was found necessary to adjourn the
meeting until tomorrow, when it is thought
that there will be a much better prospect
Of getting the roads together and Of with
drawing the commissions. The Union Pacific
has not yet announced its intention of be-
Boming a member of the Western Passenger
association. but the members of that organi-
Eation are very hopeful that they will have
good news from it in the course of the next
few days. Replies are expected by tomorrow
morning from several of the roads that have
been q trife slow about announcing their in
lentions regarding the commissions, and ii is
thought likely that the whole matter can be
fixed within a very brief time
The traffic officials of the Western roads
have, for the time being, given up their idea
Of having the unauthorized freight tariffs
withdrawn from the territory of the Western
Freight association. They have worked on
The matter for several days and have come to
the conclusion that they cannot accomplish
anything at present and have taken an ad-
will make another effort to withdraw the
Tariffs In the meantime they will try to
get some of the Southwestern roads to take
put a few of their cut rates that have been
making so much trouble for the Western
roads. II is hardly probable, however, that
they will be able to do much in this direc-

sCHRoEDER's RESIGNATION.
He Will Take His Time About Send
ing 1t to Rome.

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The case
of Mgr. Schroeder continues to be the
absorbing topic among the Catholic pre-
lates assembled here to attend the an
nual meeting of archbishops. AS stat
ed Yesterday. the official announce
ment of the board of directors that
the case was referred to the pope, was
made with the understanding that
Mgr. Schroeder would resign within
the year. This understanding as to
future resignation has given rise to
another animated controversy. Those
who have pressed the charges against
Mgr. Schroeder construe the promise
to resign within the year as equiva-
lent to a present resignation. Mgr.
Schroeder insists, however, that he
has not rendered his resignation, but
in the interest of peace at the uni
versity has said he would make any
personal sacrifice and has assured the
board that he will send my (his)
resignation" if the pope will approve
this course.
The literal wording of that portion
of Mgr. Schroeder's written statement
to the board is as follows: i am
ready to make that sacrifice and Will
send my resignation to his eninence,
the chancellor, within or at the end Oh
the scholastic year-but this res1gna-
ton must be conditional on the ap-
proval of the holy father"
The committee of drchbishops in
charge of Indian affairs were in ses-
sion today arranging the details of the
distribution of Indian funds. The gen
eral business of the meeting is closed,
and the archbishops and bishops are
leaving for their homes. Rector Co
naty. of the university, leaves today
for Rome, N. Y, to preach the sermon
on the conservation OF the new 81.

TRADE MOVEMENT IRREGULAR.
Volume of Business Still Large,
Says Bradstreet's.

NEW YORK, Oct 2.-Bradstreet's 8
tomorrow will say: While the general
trade movement is somewhat irregu-
lar and there are further evidences of
falling off in demand, the volume of
business continues of large propor-
tions. Speculation in wool has ceased
and demand for the staple is less than
for weeks past. Cotton goods are dull
on the weakness of raw cotton, and
jobbers report dry goods slower than
a week ago. Interior merchants in
the central West have not distributed
fall stocks as promptly as expected,
and many jObbers at Western centers
find that they OVer-eStimated the con-
sumptiYe demand when securing fall
goods. Unreasonably warm weather
has interfered with the movement of
heavy goods at the West but rains in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska have
improved the agricultural outlook.
Relatively, the greatest activity in
trade is reported by Kansas City and
Omaha merchants. While quarantine
regulations have been raised in Texas
and modified in Louisiana, business
throughout most of the Gulf states re-
mains practically at a standstill. AL
most all the larger Eastern cities re-
port a decreased movement of mer-
chandise and a tendency of collections
to fall away, notably Baltimore, ow-
ing to its Southern connections. The
industrial situation continues to fur
nish employment to as many persons
as at any preceding period this year
and at higher wages. Production Of
iron, steel machinery, stoves, car
structural work, glass and wooden
goods continues heavy. Steel mills
have orders to carry them into 1898,
and decline contracts for next years
delivery. This explains the advance
in the price of Bessemer pig iron,
while the foundry grades remain un-
changed. The extraordinary heavy
and steadily increasing production of
iron is starting up furnaces long out
of blast, and although consumption is
heavy, it is not improbable that pro-
duction may outrun it in the near
future which constitutes an unfavor-
able point in the outlook.
Exports of wheat, flour included,
from both coasts of the United States
and from Canada this week amount to
5.522,171 bu, against 6,039, 900 bu last
week; 4007 900 bushels in the week a
year ago; 3,65S.000 bu two years ago;
1856. 900 bu three years ago, and as
compared with 1927 900 bu in the like
week Of 1898 There has been sharp
drop in the export movement Of Indian
corn this week, the total amounting to
1177.5 SAB bu; compared with 2,224, 900 bu
last week; Z,9lS,UUO Du IN the week a
year ago; 1,343,000 bu two years ago;
81 900 bu three years ago. and as COM
pared with 929, 900 bu in the like week
OF 1898.
There are 205 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States
this week, against 1876 last week; 292 in
the week a year ago; 259 two years
ago, 221 in the like week Of 1894, and
S94 in the third week of October, 1898.
There are 27 business failures reported
from the Dominion of Canada this
week, a total considerably smaller
than that of last week or in the third
week of October in any Of the four
preceding years.
