RUBBER TRUST BLIGHT.
Once Prosperous Connecticut Town
Fallen Into Decay.

New Haven. Con, March 13.-The rubber
trust has killed Colchester. A few years
ago it was one of the most prosperous
towns in Connecticut. 1t teemed with
life, and the wheels of industry moved
unclogged. Rubber goods were the chief
articles of manufacture. The industry
was started nearly half century ago by
Nathaniel Hayward, and from a small be-
ginning reached to mammoth proportions.
Large mills were erected and employment
furnished to 1000 hands and money
was plenty. The people were well clothed.
well housed, and enjoyed many of the
luXuries of life.
Several churches were supported in the
community, and dozen or twenty stores
did thriving business Many of the
rubber workers had bought little homes
and hoped in few years to own them
free of encumbrance.
But in 1888 there came a change. The
rubber trust absorbed the Colchester fac
tories and a blight fell upon once happy
community. Colchester today presents a
woful picture of desolation, and the rub
Der trust is accountable for it.
Colchester's magnificent mills lie idle:
its population has become scattered its
handsome cottages, only few years ago
the homes of happy families, are derelicts
falling to decay; its stores are bereft of
customers and most of them have closed
up and the former proprietorS have left
The young people have gone to other
places and only the aged remain behind.

DAKOTA VS.. KANSAS PoPU11sM.

South Dakota is in much the same
position politically as Kansas as the
state officers and both branches of the
legislature are controlled by the Popu-
lists. But South Dakota Populists
seem to have a different plan for work
ing than the Kansas legislature and
they have undertaken many reforms
and redeemed their pledges to the peo-
pie by enacting them into laws.
The South Dakota Populists and the
Kansas Populists went before the peo-
pie on practically the same issues.
One of the things done by the South
Dakota Legislature which is a special
Populist hobby, was the adoption of the
ure provides that when per cent of
the voters petition the legislature to
submit a law to the people it must be
done.
The legislature also adopted resolu-
ton submitting the state agency plan
of controlling the liquor traffic to the
people The Aberdeen News, a Repub-
1ican paper says:
Socialism also scored a victory upon
the question of submitting the dispen-
sary system to the people for their
adoption or rejection The measure is
known as senate joint resolution No

Yankton to lay it upon the shelf for
the session was defeated, 40 to "a.

A BASEBALL DEAL.
Broolzly Offers 100000 for the
Cleveland Players.

New York, March 13.-The Herald
says:
There was a secret conference of base
ball magnateS in this city last night
Just what they had under discussion
could not be ascertained in its entirety,
although it was learned the Brooklyn
club had offered 500, 600 for the transfer
of the Cleveland team to Brooklyn.
Frank de Haase and Robinson OF the
Clevelands, was in conference with C.
p. Byrne at the Hoffman House. They
refused to say whether or not they had
a conference with Mr.. Conant of the
Boston club. but President Robinson
said that the Brooklyn club had Of
fered him 100000 for the transfer of
the Cleveland club to- Brooklyn.
President Byrne confirmed this state
ment, adding that the Brooklyn club in
making the offer thought il would make
at the least 100 per cent on the invest
ment.
It was learned, although President
Byrne refused to admit it, that F. A
Abel and himself had succeeded in in
teresting a syndicate of Brooklyn men
in the enterprise and for that reason the
Brooklyn club felt perfectly safe in
making the offer for the Cleveland
team.

BURSTS INTO POETRY.
Judge Eldridge Makes "Geer Rhyme
With "Beer'' etc.

Judge J. I. Eldridge of this city is
one of the most ardent prohi bitionists
in the state of Kansas and he is ever
at work trying to advance the cause
He is somewhat of a rhymer and he
often tells his story of wickedness and
crime resulting from rum in verse. One
OF his latest efforts is a poem entitled
civilian Geer." He is circulating this
and he hopes to influence public opinion
with it. Following are some of the
verses of the story:
On Auburn Row, some years ago,
There lived young William Geer,
Who seemed to think no harm to drink
His ale and lager beer.
Now Williams thirst was slight at first,
But rapidly it grew,
Until desire, seemed like a fire,
To burn him through and through.
Drink gave relief. but oh! how brief!
Twas fuel to the fire.
Passion ragged, like tigers Gagged,
And with a flend desire.
For angry strife, with loss of life:
Now in a drunken fight,
Poor William shot his neighbours son,
His friend, young Reuben Wright.
Then filed with dread, poor William
fled,
Was caught-by jury tried,
To murder check, around his neck,
A rope, alas! was tied.
ION the scaffold high, about to die,
Be warned of my career,
For mercy's sake. oh, never take
Wine, ale, or lager beer
Now men and boys, increase your joys,
Spurn, oh! spurn ale and beer,
Or you'll be stung, perhaps be hung,
Like poor young William Geer.
Now church and state will seal the fate
OF this dread liquor foe,
No license laws, prolific cause,
OF never ending woe.

A letter was lately received at the Office of
the RepublicGn-JourTl0L from Hammond to
the effect that the cure of an extraordinary
severe case of St. Vitus' dance had been
effected on the person of little Stanley Nichol,
the eight-year-old son of Mrs. Charles Nichol
of that village
A reporter was accordingly dispatched in
that direction who, after some inquiry, found
Mrs. Nichols residence about mile outside
the village. Mrs. NichOl said:
4" little over a year ago my boy, Stanley
Nichol, who is now only eight years old,
alarmed me one day by being taken with
strange gurgling in his throat. After the
first the attacks became quite frequent.
Stanley did not complain of any pain, but
said that he could not help making the noise.
At that time there was a New York doctor
stopping in the village who was a specialist
on throat and nasal diseases. l took my son
to him and after a careful examination he
said that there nothing the matter with
the boys throat The gurglng in his opinion
was caused by nervous contraction of the
muscles of the throat He asked who our
family physician was and said that he would
consult with him before he prescribed.
STANLEY rapidly grew worse. He was
always sickly boy. One day I noticed
that he was jerking his arm up in very
peculiar manner A few days later he
seemed to lose control of his legs first one
and then the other would be pulled up and
then Strengthened out again. He was q per-
all control of himself. When eating at the
table or drinking, his arm would often twitch
50 es to spill what he was drinking. One

HISTORIES ARE ALL BAD.
They Don't Tell the War Story to
Suit the g. A. R.

Omaha, March 13.-Including general
orders No. 5, from headquarters, G. A.
r. Commando r-in- Chief Garrison in
cludes an extract from a letter written
him by the chairman of the committee
appointed at ST. Paul last year to ex-
anime the histories in use in the public
schools
Forecasting the report the letter says:
After a careful examination and the
exchange of views by members of the
committee, it was of the unanimous
opinion that no history in use text
book gives such an account of the war
period as entities it to the cOmmenda-
ton of the committee; that no one of
them makes any use of this important
period in our history and of its great
events to teach lessons of patriotism;
that the child without other sources of
information would be utterly unable to
determine whether there was any diff
erence in the patriotism of those who
fought for the preservation of the ma
tional unity and those who fought for
the destruction of our government; that
there is in all of them a general ten
dency to enlarge upon and eXaggerate
the soldier1y qualities of the COnfeder-
ates and to belitt1e the valOr and
achievements of those who fought upon
the other side; that some of those most
extensively used are SO unpatriotic in
sentiment as to justify the most severe
condemnation.

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
Itching Piles and Other Rectal Trou-
bIes Easily Cured by a New
and Safe Method.


About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture. and intense, uncontrol-
liable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or Salve. which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
ing or protruding. The first applica-
ton gives instant relief and the con-
tinued use for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumOrS or
small parasites which cause the intense
itching and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful analy-
sis showed it to be absolutely free from
any cocaine, opium, or in fact any
poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extenS-
lively recommended by physicians, be-
cause it is so safe, so prompt in the
relief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion,
Mich for book on cause and cure OF
piles, and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles,
ask your druggist for a package OF
Pyramid Pile Cure and try it tonight.
