Liiiputians.

Any endorsement Of Sousa and his band
is almost superfuous. Throughout an
evening one cannot but notice the per-
lection OF nuance. the delicate shading
and the orchestral coloring which charac-
terize the performance and which are
usually supposed 10 be peculiar 10 string
orchestras alone, and Sousa's coming 10
this city to-day means a brief season Of
rich musical enjoyment.
a Sousa programme includes numbers
representing both the classical and the
popular schools Of composition, and as
much attention is given TO the playing
Of the lightest selection as IS bestowed
upon the works OF Wagner and List.
This Is one Of the secrets Of the success
Of the organization under this magnetic
leader Every number Of every pro-
gramme Is played for its full effect. and
the full effect Of the band arrange
ment by Sousa of almost any kind Of a
composition means something striking
something bound 10 catch the ear OF the
auditor whose knowledge OF music Is
limited TO consciousness that melody
pleases him and something that compeis
the attention OF the educated musician.

Port Arthur

lis the only logical and nat
ural Seaport of the Great West
and South. Within O month
it will be the Southern deep
water port of an Air Line Sys-
TEN of North and South Rail
road, extending from Texas to
Nebraska; a system which taps
the center of the big grain and
fruit fields and cattle pastures
Of the world; that penetrates
the center of the finest timber
and mineral districts of Amer.
ica; that pierces the center Of
the great cotton belt.
The Government is now ex-
pending $l,5OO,OOO on the jet
ties, and the 10000 carloads
of stone for this work will be
unlOaded on the docks at Port
Arthur.
The advocate., 1897-10-13
WHY?

Because the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad, con-
Meeting Kansas City with Port
Arthur, has just been COM
pleted. In a very short time
Vestibuled trains will be max
ing quick time between Kan
sas City and Port Arthur, and
the rush that will make Port
Arthur a city of $4,000 people
in ten years will begin. The
importance Of getting in before
the rush will be appreciated
by every one. Property will
never be so cheap again. Op-
pOrtunities for business ven
ture will never be so good.

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH is WORTH
THAT MUCH.
To Anyone Afflicted With Piles.

40 Anyone Aulel6Q WIN f1leS.
The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new,
painless remedy, which has been so
remarkably successful in curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
glsts and 1t is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure of
this obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. M. G. Hlnkly of COL Mississippi
ST., indianapolis, Ind, says: L had
been terrible sufferer from piles for
ID years and no remedies benefited
me, until l saw an advertisement of
the Pyramid Pile Cure; | got pack
age, also package of Pyramid Pills
and used both according to directions.
was astonished at the immediate re-
lief obtained and now l honestly be-
lleve the Pyramid to be the only GER
tain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad was,
bed and went before the college ply
sicians here who said my case was q
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on a
rupture, | knew an operation would
be death to me on account of blood
poisoning. Nearly everyone here
knows of my terrible suffering from
piles and [ feel that L cannot praise
the Pyramid Pile Cure enough and
the%Pyramld Pills also. My husband
Will join me in highly recommending
the Pyramid, my daughter was cured
by one box only. For several years I
weighed but about 80 pounds, now 1
weigh $50 and feel in perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest. most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has soothing, healing eff
feet from the firstapplication, and the
moderate price places 1t within the
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cuse is sold by
druggists at 80 cents and $1,OO per
package and the Pyramid Pills at 25
cents per box.
