1 BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION


Is not only intensely painful, danger
GUS to life and very expensive, but. in
the light of modern medical reseafch
and since the discovery of the Pyramid
Pile Cure surgical operation Is wholly
unnecessary. If you have any doubt
on this point kindly read the following
letters from people who know that our
claims regarding the merits of the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure are borne out by the
facts:
From ~ A. Stall, Ridge Road, Mag
ara Co., N. r.: | received your Pyramid
Pile Cure and tested it last night. 1t
did me more good than anything | have
ever found yet and remember this was
the result Of one nights treatment only.
From Penn W. Arnett, Batesville,
Ark: Gentlemen-Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done me so much good in so
short a time that my son-in-law, Capt
T. j. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark, has
written me for your address as he
wishes to try it also.
From A. E. Townsend, Benyllle,
Ind. l have been so much benefited
by the Pyramid Pile Cure that l en-
close 81, for which please send a pack
age which I wish to give to friend
of mine who suffers very much from
piles.
From John H. Wright, Clinton, De-
Witt Co., H.: | am so we'll pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that think
it but right to drop you a few lines
to inform you its effects have been all
that | could ask or wish.
From z. A. Bruton, Liano, Tex:
Gentlemen:-The Pyramid Pile Cure
has done so much good for me that |
will say for the benefit of others that
after using only two days | am better
than | have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion.
Mich, and it is truly wonderful rem
edy for all forms of piles. So great has
been the number of testimonial letters
received by them from all parts of the
country that they have decided TO pub
lish each week a number Of such let
tiers. and never use the same letter
twice, but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. as they know from
what their customers say that no rem
edy gives such general satisfaction.

RIVER NEWS.
Daily Chron Icle of the Movements of the
Goats and Boatmen.


Last evening the stage of the river
was twenty-one inches and falling. The
only hope now for a navigable stage
lies in a good, hard rain for about a
couple of days, and for which condi-
lions of the elements are very favor
able.
The Guyandotte departs this morn
ing for New Matamoras at eleven
O'Clock.
The Nellie BLY, is still laid up at Sand
creek. The water in the river did not
rise enough for her, as was expected.
A committee of the Pittsburg Coal
Exchange were in conference at Mer-
ril dam Thursday with Major w. Ii.
Bixby, engineer in charge Of the Ohio
river improvements, concerning the
work in progress at the dam. The
committee were: w. j. Wood Addi-
son Lysle, w. B. Rodgers and August
lutte Several other rivermen accom-
panied the committee to familiariZe
themselves with the conditions at Mer-
rill.
The coal supply in the Pittsburg
pools is rapidly increasing, and by next
week there will be enough coal loaded
to give every riverman trip. The
water, however, continues low in the
pools, the recent rains up the Cheat
river having had but little effect on the
stage of water from the mouth OF the
Cheat river to Pittsburg. None OF the
loaded boats can be moved at present,
but in the event of boating stage with
in a few days there will be grand
rush to get the boats out. This will
undoubtedly cause a blockade az some
OF the locks, as the bulk of the coal is
yet in the pools. The Ohio river is in
very good condition between Pit.sburg
and Merrill but at the latter place
there are several dangerous obstruc-
tons yet to be removed. The dredges
are making good progress and the river
will be in passable condition by the
time a rise comes. 1t is expected that
The dredging at that point will be fin
ished within a few days.

The farce created one long laugh, continu-

clever and We're given generous applause.
THE Strange Adventures OF Miss

Three Star Comedy Company, which will
occupy the stage at the Opera House
every evening during next week and every

An organization styled "The Wheel
ing Church Extension and Missionary
Society,"" was formed last evening at
the Fourth Street M. E. church. The
pastors and the official members of
the Methodist churches of the city and
vicinity were present and participated
il tho organization
The objects of this organization are
to advance fraternal spirit among
the Methodist Episcopal churches of
the city, extend the usefulness and
strengthen the correctional bonds of
Methodism by projecting mission and
church extension work in Wheeling
and vicinity. The society will meet
but once a year, and will be a general
rallying meeting of all the churches.
1t will be something in the nature of
a celebration, and prominent speakers
will be secured to make addresses at
these meetings. The principal work
Of the society will be done by the
board of management which will meet
quarterly. and through the sub-commlt-
tees appointed by the board of man
agement. The board of management
will be composed of the pastor and
three laymen from each church and
the officers of the society. The board
of management is to look after the
general interests of the churches and
provide the work for the various COM
mittees who will look after the
finances, missions, evangelistic and
other departments organized by the
society.
Among the plans of the organization,
it is intended that feeble churches are
to be aided, and new churches estab-
lished, if necessary; people who come
to the city are to be looked after and
others brought into the churches.
The following persons were elected Of
ficers of the society last night: Presi-
dent, Rev. DR.. A Moore; first vice
president, Henry X. List; second vice
president, Prof. F. H. Crago; secre-
tary, John Battle; treasurer, Prof.
McHenry Jones' A special committee
was appointed to secure the services
of the noted evangelist, Thomas Har-
ris, to conduct union evangelistic
meetings in April. The pastors OF the
Methodist churches are to commence
special meetings Immediately to pre-
pare for the evangelistic meetings.
This organization promises to be an
influential factor in church work in
this neighborhood, and will be largely
instrumental in extending Methodism
throughout the city and vicinity.
