ONE IN EVERY FOUR
One Person In Every Four Suffers From

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying Is itching
piles, indicated by warmth, slight moist
ure and intense, uncomfortable itching
in the parts affected
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times gives temporary relief, but nothing
like permanent cure can be expected
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 application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for short time causes a permanent
removal of the tumors or the small par
asites which cause the intense itching
and discomfort Of itching piles
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed TO contain cocaine.
opium or similar drugs, but such is not
the case. A recent careful analysis of
the remedy showed il 70 De absolutely
free from any cocaine, opium, or in fact
any poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.

ture 7S.4, one degree daily above normal,
Rains Of the month consisted Of light
showers from the LIST to the 14th. Prac-
tically no rain fell from the 18th to the
close Of the month. No unusual condi-
tons occurred and the weather was gen.
orally favorable for all crops, although
J0Hards the close Of the month the
ground got quite dry, corn only being
Slightly affected by the dry weather.
Cotton in particular continued to i'm
prove rapidly and at the close Of the
month was in fine condition.
eptember-September has on the
whole been hot and dry. A cool period
prevailed from the 18th to the 22d, fol-
lowed the only rains that occurred,
from the 10th 10 the 18th. These rains
did not extend over the eastern Indian
Territory and throughout this section
drOuth is very severe, and late crops are
very poor. Cotton was injured 10 some
extent by the dry hot weather Of the
1st to the 10th, and although il was
somewhat improved by the rains from
the 10th TO the 10th. yet at the months
close 1t is found not to be turning out SO
well as was expected in August, al

largest ever grown.
Summary-The temperature from
March 1 70 September p has been very
nearly normal. and the total rainfall for
the seven months. 1896 inches, is but
.05 Of an inch below the normal. The
rainfall OF March. April and May was
much above the normal, while for June,
July, August and September ii was con-
siderably below. Crops of all kinds
with the single exception of corn, have
been the largest ever grown in Okla
homa. The principal crops this year are
wheat, cotton, hay, corn, potatoes,
broom corn, castor beans; the principal
fruits were peachers. grapes. plums, ap-
pies and melons. Small fruits and vege-
tables were grown in abundance. The
abundance and diversity of the crops
grown this sea son is not because the
season has been more. favorable than
preceding one, but, partly al least, be-
cause the ground has been cultivated
better than ever before. and the farm
er is better acquainted with both soil
and climante. ]. I. WIDMEYER,

NO MORE TRAIN WRECKS
Device Invented Which stops Trains Where

ST. Paul. Mimi, Oct. IA very IN
genius and valuable contrivance for the
saving OF life by preventing railroad
accidents through forgetfulness of train
men has been invented. The machine
has just stood a very severe test on the
Great Northern road, after having been
previously operated successfully on the
St. Paul and Duluth road Practical
railroad men in this section have given
strong endorsements to the device after
seeing its work.
The object of the device is to pro-
vide an alarm and strong reminder sig
nal and distance indicator for locomo-
lives. by means of which engineers are
prevented from forgetting their train
orders as to stopping or meeting points.
The mechanism is simply but positively
connected With the forward trucks Of
the engine. thereby accurately meas
uring the distance Travelled. the dial
placed in front Of the Notwithstanding
correctly the distance Travelled. Above
the smaller OF the two dials are placed
fifteen triggers or dogs, pivoted at equal
distances around the center. When the
engineer receives his orders he sets one
or more Of these triggers TO a point
one mile short of the distance TO be
travelled before reaching the stopping
place. The mileage Indicator, on reach
ing such point, releases the trigger.

1T CATCHES Them ALL
The New Law Providing for the
Taxation and Assessment
of Cattle Companies.
NO UNORGAN1zED COUNTIES
NO More Evading Taxatlon.-It
Was One Of Governor Lees
Recommendations.

In his inaugural address Governor
Lee called attention to the fact that
thousands of head of cattle and other
stock on the reservation had not
been assessed, says the Dakota Ru-
ralist. He advocated as a remedy
that the boundaries of the organized
counties of the reservation and
those bordering on to it be extended
to include the unorganized territory
in order that the property in the
unorganized counties might be
properly assessed in the organized
territory. This was done. There
IRE now no unorganized counties
and the stock on the reservation will
be assessed by the assessor Of the
counties to which this territory has
been annexed. Further, a law was
passed for the assessment of live
stock which was intended particular
ly to cover the emergency existing
on the reservation. 1t provides that,
"live stock may be assessed in the
county in which it is found ranging
during the months of June, July,
August, September, October and
November of each year" Thus
giving assessors ample time and
ample authority in making up the
assessment roll. 1t provides further
that if the assessors fail or neglect
to assess any stock the county treas
urer shall do so if he shall at first
be notified IN writing Of the num-
Der of stock and the names of the
owners thereof. Abundant latitude
is here given for the assessment of
range stock. Inasmuch as the
counties adjoining the ranges are
all hard up it will be to their inter-
est to see that this range stock is
properly assessed. and we believe
the motive will be strong enough to
bring this stock, which is worth at
least one million dollars for pur-
poses of taxation, under the reign of
The law.

the wool industry at 800 900 out of a
total population of 73,00o,O00. The
wool duty then means that out of every
24o persons 23s are to be held up" for
the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample of what protection does. OF
course more than 3oo,o 900 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep, but the
interests of these others are more those
of the consumer than Of the sheep
raiser, and they would lose more be-
cause of the increased cost of woolens.
than they would gain by the increased!
price Of wool.
The protective tariff system is a farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the workingman. Will they:
ever fully appreciate it?

Protecting WOolGrowers.

Suppose the Dingley duties on wool
would give the woolgrowers all the
protection claimed and that the price
of wool would actually go up the full
amount Of the duty, which, of course,
is absurd. What would be the effect
upon the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
SIS. 900, 900 out of a total of $13. 200, O00,-

A A r W.T..
C1everly Shows the Relation, OF the
Poor Man to High Duties.

Champ Clark, of Missouri, is not only
one of the wittiest men in the house Of
representatives, but he is one of tho
best posted on the tariff question.
In ~ridiculing some of the rates of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how q man of
the name of Goodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaver about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced. Then he said:
"Mr. Chairman, that piece of soft
soap made it harder for every poor
man in the United States to build Il
house. Gov. Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as a trout would swallow
fly Qaughter), and mex summer some
poor devil cut west, living in d dugout
100 miles from a railroad station. who
voted for Mckinley under the deludcu
idea that prosperity would come under
lis administration and who has not
heard Of this tariff bill, ciphcrs it u
that he a build him a two-room cot
tage with lumber and other building
materials at the old rate. He goes to the
station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone Sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his wife:
My dear, l am sorry that we must stay
in the dngout. We cannot build our it,
tie house. A great man by the name Of
Gov. Dingley has put the price Of lum-
Der and other things SO high that we
cannot do it, but, thank God, he has
left dragons blood free Uaugnter.)
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some man who has not been
able to buy a Il because of the high
price OF wooden cloth will say to his
! %neighbor: There comes Dolliver, who
put up the price Of wooden goods But
the successful candidate for the post
Office in that district says: oh, but
Dolliver put divi-divi on the free list!
And in chorus they sing: 'Dolliver and
divi-divi forever" daughter. Ap-
plause on the democratic side.)

The FrOtccticnist Performances,

The following is a part of ex-Con-
FRESHMAN John De Witt Warmers criti-
ism of the Dingley bill:
las it stands the most brilliant Fart
Of the pending performance consists in,
eating the words Of the same actors in
the Fifty-first congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
'a.bill to reduce revenues The Dirgley
bill is specially commended as a revenuc
getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with
Iride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon
sugar-a single item of the breakfast
table-one-third of the total amount of
the tariff tax proposed. The items
which are supposed to help the farmer
are good examples of so setting your
trap as to 'cotch 'em a-cumin' and a.
gwine.' For instance, we have reci-
lrocity in order to give the farmers Il
market abroad for what it is assumed
they cannot produce for home con-
sumption unless they are highly pro-
tected, as is done by another section of
the bill"
