The QUEENS AIN

There has been considerable com
ment of late years concerning tn
aversion of Queen Victoria to active
exercise, esp scially in view of her con
tinual tendency toward increasing
weight and corpulence, but her desire
to avoid all straining and undue exer
ton is now very naturally explained
by the seemingly well-founded story
that she is a victim Of what is known
as umbilical hernia.
OF itself, umbilical hernia Is not a
serious ailment, while it is apt to make
itself more pronounced in the cases of
people of advanced years, when The
muscular tissues are more liable to be
come relaxed. The danger of strangu-
lation, as in the case of the Duchess OF
Teck, is then more pronounced and il
is necessary for the sufferer to avoid as
far as possible the slightest exertion.
Usually, the d ficulty can be relieved
by an operation, but unless medical
aid is at hand fatal s~trangulation may
ensue 10 short order.

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of Piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure, the new discovery for the
cure Of piles, was the most remarka BILE
remedy he had ever seen or tried in one
respect; and that was, the instant relief
experienced in all cases, no matter how
severe. from the moment the remedy
was applied; this was the more Surpr1s-
ing to him. because he had carefully
analysed the preparation and no trace
of opium, cocaine or similar poison
could be detected
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure because it is
rapidly taking the place of surgical
opera tons and because it is so simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other poiSonS so commonly used
in pile cures.
DR.. ESterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the var
ious forms of Piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from bust
ness or interference with daily Occupa-
ton. Sold by druggists at so cents per
package.

TRIM DOWN YOUR HEDGES.
House Decides What is the Proper
Height After Much Trouble

From until 10 o'clock last night the
senate was in a state of great mental
agitation.
A bill regulating the height of hedge
fences and defining the time at which
such fences should be cut, was on as a
special order. The house spent two
hours having a good time over the bill.
1t was a source of amusement to all
the members and nearly all of them
were disposed to perpetrate jokes at
the expense of few farmers who want
ed to see the bill amended and passed
as a good law. Lawyers whose informa-
ton IS to farms has been accumulated
while driving past them, acclaimed with
great eloQuence upon the inestimable
value of a farm hedge and how really
beautiful it could be made if properly
trimmed.
Incidentally they offered amendments
more calculated to induce law suits
than to benefit the bill.
Ike Lambert wanted to know If the
law could not be so changed as to pre-
scribe a form, for instance diamond
shaped which all owners of hedges
should be compelled to follow for the
sake of beauty and harmony.
Mr.. Hackney, the best known farmer
in the Arkansas valley lifted his voice
to defend the farmers against the dudes
from town. Hackney was making a
speech in defense of the farmer, when
Charles LobdelI demanded that he show
his hand.
Fairchild exclaimed:
Il am a farmer
Some one said: You farm the farm
ers.''
Then A H Burtis of Finney county
where the farmers plant posts to tie
their dogs up to, expatiated upon the
advantages of hedge fences, while
Stuart of Doniphan shouted and prone
naded across the hall denouncing the
attempt to forge upon the house a vote
to kill the bill He wanted it amended
and made effective.
While this spectacular performance
was going on, Brown of CoWIey, who
was in the chair, pounded his gavel and
demanded ''order." The hall was in
hubbub. Everybody was talking. The
lobby and the crowd of visitors were
amused and communicated the fact
from one to the other.
The members were not quoted during
the entire evening. The bill was finally
recommended for passage, requiring
hedge fences to be trimmed down to a
height of not more than five feet
For which all the people who drive
along the country roads for the sake of
the scenery will be duly thankful.

WON'T LOAN THE SCHOOL FUND
Senate Defeats the Measure by a Vote
of 20 to ID.

1t was settled in the senate yester-
day afternoon that the state of Kansas
should not go into the money loaning
business. Senator Cookies bill, pro-
viding for the loaning of the perma-
nent school fund, the agricultural col
1ege, the state normal school and the
state university funds to citizens of the
state was killed by that body by vote
of 20 to IS.
The greater part of the afternoon ses-
sion was spent in amending and dis
cussing the bill. On an average, at
least half a dozen amendment were Of
fered to the principal sections of the
measure, but when the final question
on the passage of the bill was put it
was practically in it's original shape.
The ten Republican members present
voted solidly against the BILL as did ten
of the PopuliSt. senators.

BRYAN TO STUMP CHICAGO.
Will Speak in the City Campaign by
Invitation.

Chicago, March 4.-W. ]. Bryan is to
be invited to take the stump in behalf
of the Democratic candidate for mayor
of Chicago.
Free silver is to be the party slogan
and the local issues are to be subordi-
mated to national topics.
The announcement has caused all
sorts of gossip among members of the
party The majority feel kindly to-
ward the new plan, but there is a strong
undercurrent of opposition aroused by
the apparent attempt on the part of the
ex-governor to dictate the policy of the
party. The gold Democrats quietly ac-
cept the conditions as inevitable and
are willing to abide by them
In the estimation of shrewd politicians
this position will force the gold Dem
ocrats to make a stand. That view
seems probable. Gold bug leaders see
the folly of putting a gold ticket in the
field and will doubtless support an indie
pendent There is talk of adopting
Washington as a favorite son and this
plan is favored by many of the leaders,
notably Mr.. Hesing himself
