CHlCAGO'S BIG ICE CROP.
The Cold Snap Will Give Employ.
ment to Over $4,000.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-The cold snap
though causing so much suffering and
inconvenience to many will give en-
ployment to over II, 600 men. The cold
weather has brought to the ice dealers
just what they wanted, as last week
they were wondering if they would be
able to cut the ice needed for next sum-
mer.
Thirty-five ice companies have plants
at points on the Wisconsin Central and
Chicago & Northwestern roads, within
these firms began operations on the ice
fields today. From this city $500 men
were sent to points along the Wisconsin
Central and as many went out over the
Northwestern. The ice fields south of
Chicago will also be opened up today,
and before the week is over there will
be about 1000 men employed at ice
gathering within sixty miles south from
Chicago. If the cold weather contin-
of the finest crops ever gathered.

has received the following letter from
Mrs. E. s. Hume of Bombay:
This terrible bubonic plague is work.
ing fearful havoc in nearly all branches
of the native community. Some 300, 600
persons have left town. The Baroda rail-
way alone has put six extra trains a
day to provide accommodations for those
leaving by its line. In the railway sta
ton here at Byculia there sit hundreds
waiting for an opportunity to leave by
the Great Indian peninsula trains.
The people are dazed and terrified. In
the Hindoo burying ground down on
Queens road, DR.. Jeddo, the assistant
coroner, says that the papers give not a
fractional part of the facts as to the
plague; that in one burying ground the
day before there had been 100 bodies
brought, and they could not dispose of
them fast enough. In the Mohammedan
burying grounds they are laying four
and five bodies in a grave. And yet, with
all of this about US, not native Chris
Eight Europeans, if not more, have
died of it. At first, it was thought that

facts from various sources prove the fa>
tality to be even greater Since the death
of Il little girl in one of our schools, the
doctors have ordered all four of our out
side schools to be closed. Our Christian
school, with the two boarding departs
ments, had to be closed without any
prize giving or annual school exhibition
and those of our boarders who have
homes have been sent away. The rest
are here with u.s.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The Doctors Wanted Seven Hundred
Dollars to Attempt the Case

The following is a letter we received
short time ago from Mrs. NJ. G. Hink-
ley, 602 North Mississippi street Indian
apOlis. Ind:
conference.-the suffering intensely
from piles L became interested in your
advertisement in one of our daily pa
perS and procured u package of your
Pyramid Pile Cure from our druggist.
Contrary to any expectations. the relief
was instantaneous. l used two boxes
of the Pile Cure and one of the Pills
and am convinced that they are the
only sure cure for piles on the market.
L have been d sufferer from piles for
fifteen years and have been confined to
my bed about One-half of the time, eX-
pecting and wishing for death, for the
pain was so great / went to the coli
IeSe here, and the doctors said my case
was a new one to them, the great pain
having brought on a large rupture,
which they wanted seven hundred dol
lars to cut out. I was very much afraid
that death would result from the blood
poisoning which they said would re-
suit from the operation. l feel as
though / can't praise the Pyramid Pile
Cure and the Pyramid Pills too highly
as am convinced that they saved my
life Before using your cure weighed
only ninety pounds. and now 1 weigh
one hundred and fifty and feel as well
as I ever did in my life You are at
liberty to use this testimonial in any
manner you may see fit, as l want all
sufferers from this terrible disease to
know that there has at last been COM
pounded a remedy that win cure piles.
Mrs M c. HINKL1Y.
There is no need of the danger, pain
and expense of a surgical operation
for any form OF piles. The Pyramid
Pile Cure does the work without pain
and is the safest and best. Remember
also that the Pyramid Pills are GER
tain cure for constipation, acting with
out gripping and restoring natural action
to the bowels.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents and 81, and the
Pyramid Pills at % cents, or by mail
from Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich.
