Surgical Operations for the Cure of Piles

A Medical Discovery Which VIII Change
the Treat ment of All Such Diseases

Ii has long been thought not only by
some physicians hut by people in gen.
eral that the common, painful and ex-
ceedingly annoying trouble, piles, was
practically incurable by any other
means than a surgical operation and
this belief has been the cause Of years
% needless suffering, because Of the nat
dral dread Of surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointmenSs and
similar remedies on the market which
afford some relief in cases Of piles. but
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the only preoa-
ration so far introduced that can be re-
iiebly depended upon 10 cure 10 stay

or protruding piles.

Rt'on costing between seven and eight

ANTI.sCALPINF LIVESTOCK MEN
Pressure Brought TO Rear Upon Congress
From New Quarter.

Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. Probably
the most important resolution TO be con-
sidefed by the National Live Stock ex-
change at the convention to be held in
this city December Is one relating to
the return pass system, or the system
now in vogue of issuing return passes to
live stock shoppers who come to market
in charge Of live stock.
In consequence of the alleged abuse Of
the privilege by the sale of these passes.
the Western Passenger association has
notified shippers that after certain
date the practice of issuing passes will
be discontinued. To avert this move
timely action is proposed on the part OF
the National Live Stock exchange with
view TO assisting in removing the
cause OF complaint. Another reason as
signed for the withdrawal of the return
pass privilege is the application OF the
Kansas law both in Kansas and Ne
braska which 1t is claimed compels the
railways to accept overloaded cars OF
live stock, thus necessitating extra at
tention for the protection OF the railway
claim department against death losses.
The resolution Is as follows:
Whereas, The National Live Stock
exchange represents one OF the largest
sources OF freight earnings TO western
railroads and our interests ere largely
mutual, and.
whereas, We regar dtTe business
done by ticket brokers' as unnecessary
to public welfare and seriously demon
aIizing TO the legitimate revenue OF
railroads: be Il
Resolved, That this association does
hereby urge upon the senate OF the Untt-
ed States end the house OF representa-
tives TIE prompt enactment o. laws
whose object shall oe 70 suppress the
practice OF ticket scalping and confine
he sale of railroad tickets 10 the proper

provision for the redemption by such

Under the Hammer,
Detroit, Mich, Dec. 1.-The Detroit
Chamber OF Commerce was sold under

regarding railway matters said:
/" Think that the change OF the Union
Pacific TO It's new owners will be follow
ed with complete reorganization. The
purchasers Of the Union Pacific were.
forced to pay $13,00o,00o more for the
property than they had counted on The
only way they can get that back rs to
work it out Of the properly. To success
fully accomplish this tremendous task a
reorganization OF the railroad will be abb
solutely necessary. This Reorganization
may be gradual, but it is bound 10 come
do not say that any Of the officials nov
ntre will go-I hope not-but they are
very apt to have their authority curtau-
ed by the policy of the new men over
them. There is good deal Of talk about
a Northwestern man to take charge OF
the property. presume that this Is bas-
ed on the fact that Marvin Hughitt, pres
ident OF the Northwestern, is the only
active railroad man on the committee
having temporary charge OF the road.
But Winslow s. Pitrce, attorney for the
Gould interests, is also a member OF that
committee. To my mind, Jacob 5. Schln
the eminent financier Of Wall street. is,
the most powerful member of the COM
mittet. What ne says Is Likely 20 nave
the greatest weight
There has been a great deal OF talk
about the probability Of the election Of
Horace G. Burt, third vice president of
tht Northwestern, to the Union Pacific
presidency. Those who predict Burt's
election argue that President Hughitt
wants to take care of II. r. Mccullough,
general traffic manager Of the North
western, by making him third vice pres
ident, to succeed Mr.. Burt.
Edwin H. Winttr, formerly president
Of the Northern Pacific. is still named
by those very familiar with railroad
matters of an executive nature. They
predict the election of Mr.. Winter either
as president Of the recognized Union
Pacific, or as chairman Of the board OF
directors. The lists are filled with half
a dozen candidates.
In order of reasonable probability they
seem to run like this: Edwin H Winter,
Horace G. Burt, S. II. H. Clark, Edward
Dickinson, William II. Truesdale and OIL

Burt has opened an office here in the
same building with the Elkhorr officers
but on another floor, and is there en-
sconced with private secretary and
clerks.
Mr. Burt returned to the city this at
ternoon in company with General Super
intendent Brinkerhoff of the Kansas Pa
ciflc. The two had just completed an in
spection Of the Kansas Pacific line. nav
ing gone over it thoroughly all the way

TEXAS MILLERs PROTEST
Against the Removal of Five-cent Flour
D!fferentia.

Austin, Texas, Dec. Tine Texas
railroad commission today addressed a
lengthy letter to the interstate commerce
commission at Washington, protesting
against a request of the Kansas milling
interests asking for the removal of the
cents per HUNDRED differential between
flour and wheat shipments. The Texas
commission objects TO the Kansas Mill
ers' petition on the grounds that it IS an
attempt to destroy the milling industries
Of Texas and thus obtain a monopoly OF
the bread supply of Texas; and also 20
remove from the grain fields Of Kansas
the competition Of the Texas mills for
the farmers wheat. The Texas commits
sion contends that the present rate is
just to every one, giving the Texas mills
a living and not barring the Kansas
mills from competition, and -tstes that,
with the understanding that the differ
entail was to pc lasting one, a number
OF mills have been erected in Texas that
would have TO close were any change
made in the present rate.

in which the work Of complying with

the law could be completed.
After a brief recess Mr.. Julius Rosen-
dale Of Philadelphia. on behalf Of him
self and many eminent divines whom
he said he represented, and among
whom he mentioned Cardinal Gibbons.
entered a protest against granting any
extension OF time.
Counse, for various roads which an
nounced the ability OF their own roads
to comply with the law within a brief
period, urged the futility Of separate ac-
tion in the case of various roads. They
all urged that the roads be treated as a
unit and that a general order Of extern
sion be made.
GOMPERS PROTESTS.
Samuel Gornpers. president Of the
American Federation OF Labor. Joined
in Mr.. Morrissey's protest against any
undue extension OF the time for com
pliance with the law. The lives and
limbs OF the railroad employees which
were in peril. ne said cried as loud and
appealed as strongly 10 the commission
as the dividends OF the railroads. On
one point Mr.. Gompers was very en-
phatic. He thought that no extension
whatever should be granted to any rail
road that had paid dividends since the
law was passed.
NOT ECONOMICAL
Mr.. Clark. representing the Chicago
Great Western. said that his company
could not afford and had not the facil-
tiles to equip the unequipped cars with
couplers within one year. There were
about 5000 Of these.
What were the earnings Of your road
last year?" asked Commissioner
Prouty.
over $4,000. 900"
why could not the road apply $4,000
next year TO equippins sts cars with
couplers?"
1T would not be economical" replied
Mr. Clark.
The railroads whose equipment was
below 50 per cent were called, and the
counsel OF particular roads IN many
cases explained the reasons why more
progress had not been male.
Commissioner Knapp ssked Il The com
mi-sion granted an extension for one

fifth Of the cars should be equipped in

whether there would not then be the
same practical difficulty to face as ex-
istsd now. Mr. Cowen replied in the
Affirmative. and insisted that the com
mission must allow sufficient time To
grant two years extension. FOR instance.

AT the meeting Of the Fair association
yesterday the salary Of the secretary
was fixed at one thousand dollars per
year and IS per- cent of the net proceeds.
It Is to be hoped that the net proceeds
Will be large, as a reward for Colonel
Toler's close and able services, as well
asfor the benefit Of the association and
Wichita.
The matter Of selecting site for the
next fair was discussed at length, but no
decision, was made. Charles Smytne
made the directors proposition to sell
tract of ground forty acres in extent
running from Eleventh to Thirteenth,
north and from Wabash avenue east to
the association as a permanent site for
the fair. This proposition was fayoraoly
considered by the directors, and II they
had decided to locate the fair permanent
" on this ground they would have earn
ed the gratitude of a good many people
who are in favor of holding the fair in
Wichita 1t is the opinion of hundreds
of the best citizens of the city that fairs
hereafter at the old ground will be more
or less Of a failure. There were 5000
people who came to Wichita during the
last fair who never went to see the ex-
nibits because of the distance to the
grounds and the difficulty of getting to
the place These people will be disposed
10 stay entirely away from the mkt fair
when they learn that it j sto be held at
the old grounds, two miles from the city
No selection of a site was made, how
ever Colonel Toler, the secretary, was
instructed by a vote Of the directory, TO
see what could be done. He will report
as soon as he has ascertained what the
various propositions from land owners
are. No definite action was taken. The
fair will, at the next meeting, be located
for two years, and the matter of select
ing site is not to be gone over lightly
In point Of numbers the last fair was
a great success and It is no use by a lit
tie hurry or an unwise move to let a good
desirable Observation-Disclosures
thing die. If the old grounds are the
most desirable place-found to be so up
on investigation, then the old grounds
are good and the fair should be taken
