NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of Sleeplassness That Can
be Readily Overcom

Mr.. VIM. Handschu of 56th St, Cot
ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses him
self as follows regarding the new 1eme-
dy for that common and obstinate dis
ease, piles: Il take pleasure in stating
that L was so afflicted with piles that
for three months I got no regular sleep;
1 became completely prostrated, the
doctors did me no good; my brother
told me of the new remedy for piles, the
Pyramid Pile Cure; L purchased from
my druggist three so cent bottles and
they completely cured me. I am once
more at my work and but for this ex-
cellent medicine 1 should be on my
back. L take great pleasure in writing
this letter because so many people are
sufferers from this trouble who like
myself did not know where to look for
a permanent, reliable, safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure in the past three years has dem
onstrated to the medical profession, as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that it is the safest and most eff
fectual cure ever offered to the public,
containing no opiates or poisons of any
kind, painless and convenient to han
die and being sold by druggists at so
cents and 81 per box, is within the
reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other
remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles and it is a
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous poisons to remove the
trouble The Pyramid has superseded
all of these Intellectual remedies and no
one suffering with any rectal trouble
makes any mistake in giving the Pyra-
mid trial.
If in doubt as to the nature OF your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co,
Albion, Mich, for a valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure as it is the best known
and most popular remedy for piles and
if you ask him he can doubtless refer
you to many people in. your vicinity
who have been cured completely by il.

PEACHES WITHOUT DOWN.
Remarkable Results of a Maryland
Horticulturist's Experime ents.

Baltimore, Sept. 21.-Mr. William P.
Winter, a retired carpenter who lives at
S26 North Carey street has entered heart
and soul into the wizard business with
remarkable results. In cosy little
yard back of Mr.. Winters home grows
peach tree that has produced annual
crops of luscious fruit for a number of
years. Two years ago Mr.. Winters grew
weary of the conventional covering of the
peaches in his limited orchard, and de-
termined at least to produce a peach
minus that Objectionable nap or down.
He began a series of experiments and
that year produced a peach clothed in
the ordinary raiment of the banana: but,
not sa atisfied with the result of his START
ling assault on nature, he has succeeded
in producing a crop, which is just now
ripe, that looks for all the world like
tree full of apples The skin of the
fruit is perfectly smooth and of a dark
red hue, shading gradually into a yellow
that Mr. Winter claims is a remnant of
the banana skin.
Next year." said he, at will have an
orange skin them
The method employed by Mr.. Winter to
produce these startling results is pro-
found secret, and he is preparing to copy
right the scheme. Grapevines, well
as peach trees, tremble before the skill
of the ex-carpenter, and among the curl
Gus things that thrive in the rear of S26
North Carey street is vine of this sort
that bears at this time ripe grapes as
sweet as honey and unusually large, half
ripe grapes, blossoms and buds. which
Mr.. Winter expects to ripen by Christ

GOLD FROM EUROPE.
Wall Street Auth ority Expects to See
the Tide Set in Soon.

New York, Sept. A.-One of the best
known sterling exchange authorities in
Wall street. Charles Schumacher, expects
to see gold shipped from Europe to this
country within the next two OF three
weeks. He said today:
1.-THE usual autumn decline in sterling
rates. which we have been expecting for
some time, but which has been delayed
by developments beyond control, has
come at last. AS it looks at present,
the decline will go very much further
during the next two or three weeks-will
go on until the gold importing point is
reached.
Just what that point is. however, is
somewhat difficult to determine 1t varies
with each individual arrangement be-
tween our gold importers and European
correspondents, depending upon the price
at which the latter can obtain gold in
Paris, London or Berlin.
ct think the Bank of England has sur
prised almost everyone familiar with the
exchange situation by not advancing its
discount rate. By maintaining its pres
ent rate it keeps the official rate below
that of the private market.
This is a state of affairs which has
not existed for two years. By the 1st
of October or a little later we should
have gold coming into this country from

autumn weather was experienced.
AT noon the people were almost jubi-
liant over the health report. Many were
seen to shake hands and give other evil
dences of the intense feeling of relief.
Large crowds gathered in front of the
newspaper offices to hear the reports

The new patients are J. z. Bolton,

that he expected the disease would be

poses to Try Silver.

London, Sept. 21.-The Times, in
special article dealing with the causes
which led France to propose the free
coinage of silver, says that the French
Ambassador proposed 1511 to 1, as the
ratio at which France would open her
mints and then proceeds to review the
bimetallic movement in France. 1t
points out that in spite of protection the
price of wheat continued to fall in
France until NJ. Meline, in 1895, in view
of the immensity of the agricultural
vote changed front and decided that, as
protection had failed and a high price
for wheat was necessary bimetallism
must be tried.
The Times continues: "At the con-
ference in May in the presence of NJ.
Loubet and of M. Maginn, he (M. Melin)
said to Senator Wolcott: Our support
will not be wanting 1t must be said
then what the Times hinted is abso-
lutely correct. Politics is at the bottom
of all this. 1t is stated in the city that
France is not serious and that the gov
ernOr of the bank is aware of this. Do
not let US be too sure in questioning
the statements and avowals of the lead
ing French statesmen; for we shall be
neither courteous nor prudent in doing
so and may even be mistaken in the
facts in the caSe.''

WRESTLING AT NEW ORLEANS
Lower Temperature Gives Courage to
the People.

New Orleans, Sept 21.-The local fe-
yer situation was greatly improved this
morning by a materially lower temper
ature, the thermometer at o'clock be-
ing 62. Incubation of yellow fever
germs requires sustained Fahrenheit
temperature of 20, and if the present
cool spell continues, conditions promise
steadily to grow better. While Is cases
were reported yesterday at least nine
were properly to be accredited to Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, and only
one of these cases was of anything but
a mild type, the exception being an un-
acclimated stranger. There have been
no new cases reported this morning.
DR.. Toatre, an eminent and expert
enced yellow fever physician and a
member of the board of experts, says
in an interview that the records since
1858 show that yellow fever has never
been declared epidemic IN any year
after it's appearance here inside of two
or three months. That was the case in
1858. So 81 and rs. The history of the
epidemics of the last half century prove
that all epidemics waned with the first
cold of October, disappearing almost en-
tirely in November. If we add a month
and a half more to the period of incu-
baton for infectious fOci to eSta abiSh
themselves, we are brought almost to
the end of October to have an epidemic.
An epidemic at that late date is out of
the question. DR.. TOatre produces
number of instances where fever broke
out in August, September and October,
only to be quickly stamped out by the
frost before ii had assumed the proper
ton of an epidemic.
The principal topic of interest here
today is the letter of DR.. Holt replying
to the criticism that he had not prompt
ly reported his nine cases to the board
of health and his rather fierce criticism
of the action of the board of health in
failing to quarantine Ocean Springs
early enough to have prevented the ar
rival here of a large number of people
with their baggage from the infected
points on the coast causing the intro
duction of the fever in this city. The
session of the board of health this aft
ernoon, when DR.. Holt will be arraigned
together with two other physicians, who
are alleged to have violated the city
and board of health laws promises to
be among the most spicy sessions ever
held by that body.
The government put in effect this
morning, its baggage inspection at
trains and steamboats,. 1t will require
at least five hours each day in which to
do this work of inspection and the rail-
roads have issued notices to outgoing
passengers to have all their baggage at
depots and landings early.

WAR OF THE WOODMEN
Will be Settled Finally in the Fed sral
Court

Chicago, Sept. 21--The rivalry between
the two factions of the Woodmen of the
World and the respective towns of Full
ton and Rock Island for the possession of
the headquarters of the order will be
finally settled in a few days. The coun-
ter injunction in the state courts of the
section in which the towns are located
and between master in chancery and
judges has been ended by an appeal to
federal authority.
The restraining order granted by Judge
Jenkins two weeks ago against further
molestation of the headquarters at Full
ton was argued before Judge Showalter
of the federal court today.

BIG GRUB STAKE RETURN.
A Rich Prospector in Klondike Re-
members Benefactor

Denver, Sept. 21.-An investment of $500
produces $4,O00,000. 1t sounds like a tale
of fafry1and but J. L. Malcolm, a well
known attorney of Denver, is in possess
sion of documentary evidence that the
story is not without foundation Two
years ago the attorney, then temporarily
in charge of the Cripple Creek gold mine,
grubstaked Mike Gideon, who went to
Alaska. The prospector disappeared and
for nine months not a word was heard
from him Then came letter addressed
to the attorney in Denver announcing
that the prospector was stranded in Salt
Lake City.
1T have been to Alaska said the for
mer Cripple Creek man, 'fbut it is not a
poor mans country. have reached Salt
Lake and am possessed with the impress
sion that Bolivia is a good region for a
prospector. If you will outfit me for the
trip 1 will go to Bolivia"
The attorney was disappointed at the
news from the northwest and he did not
answer the letter. He charged up $500 to
profit and loss and forgot all about the
little incident of starting a trusted pros
pector out in search of a fortune. Yes
terday the attorney received second let
ter from his old friend. The letter is
dated at Dawson City, August 2, and
postmarked at Juneau September 2. The
letter contained the most astonishing
news that has yet come out of the far
away gold fields. The prospector who
left Cripple Creek two years ago for
Alaska had a second time gone into the
country and had gained a fortune. The
letter says that the miner has $4,000 in
nuggets in his possession, has been Of
fered $500,O0 for one mining claim and is
prepared as soon as bank is established
to send certified check for 500, 900 as a
preliminary free will offering to the Dem
yer attorney. The writer estimates that
he is worth 100000 and promises to de-
liver half to his benefactor.
Gideon is well known in Colorado, as he
was for years foreman of the Springdale
mine, Boulder county. He is regarded
as eminently reliable, and the attorney is
preparing to leave for the gold fields to
take care of any legal complications that
might arise. The letter reads as fol-
fows:
'I worked all last winter and sold $685.
900 worth of gold dust and nuggets in
June. This made me able to buy lots
of grub and hire three men, and now
have more gold than you and two other
men could pack. AS soon as we get an

Discovery. Thousands of corpulent people
who need this medicine have failed to take
it because of its worldwide re putatiou as q
blood-maker and flesh builder. They i'm
egine because it has an established reputa-
ton for building up the flesh and strength
ening ernaciated people, that it will make
corpulent people more corpulent This is
a 1nisconception. The 'Golden Medical
Discovery" builds firm, healthy flesh but
does not raise the weight above natural
normal figure. Unlike cod liver OIL il
does not make soft, f1abby flesh. 1t builds
solid, healthy flesh but tears down and ex-
cretes the weak, ha1f-dead tissues that con-
6titute corpulency. It makes the appetite
keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active,
the blood pure and the nerves steady. It
cures all blood and skin diseases. An
honest dealer will not offer worthless sub
stitute for the sake of extra profit.

NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD.
Citizens of Little Rock Enthusiastic
Over the Matter.

Little Rock, Sept. 21.-The proposition
of Governor Jones, president of the board
of commissioners created by the last leg
islature under what is known the
Bush law, for the construction of road
northward from Little Rock to the Mis-
souri, border, there to be joined by a road
to be built from st. Louis, thus giving
trunk line through the state-the inten-
ton being to ultimately continue the road
southwark to the guIf-was presented at
the board of trade building to a very
large audience.
In order to secure the building of this
road the board asks the citizens of Little
Rock to guarantee $4,000. First they are
asked to put up $500 for a preliminary
survey of the line. Whether the contract
which Governor Jones board has par
TALLY made with ST. Louis parties is fl
nal1y consummated or not this ST. 500 is
necessary for the preliminary work. OF
course the remainder of the $4,000 is not
to be paid unless the agreement is finelly
made. That the parties with whom Gov
ernor Jones is negotiating are in earnest
there is every reason to believe.
At the meeting no definite steps we're
taken looking toward the raising of the
sum asked by Governor Jones.
The remarks of Col John G. Fletcher
at the meeting were peculiarly appropri-
ate and timely. Turning to Governor
Jones he said: go ahead with your prof.
ect, governor, Little Rock will pay the
expenses; start your surveyors out to-
morrow-we will pay them. We are con-
fdent all that is necessary to secure the
sum wanted is to ask for it,"
When completed, Governor Jones does
not propose that the fixed charges on the
road shall exceed SO, 500 per miles. This
is five times less than the Iron Mountain.
