HOAR AND TILLMAM.
They Have Another Tilt Over the
Sugar Investigation Proposition.

Washington, June 15.-In the senate
yesterday Mr.. Hoar (Ndass.), offered his
amendment for the appointment by the
president of a commission of five mem
bers to investigate into the subject Of
sugar production. The trainers of the
tariff bills were honorable men, and
it had been suggested in the press
that somebody had been bribing sena-
tors. Those statements, said Mr.. HOar,
are received by serious people through
out the country with absolute con-
tempt" The amendment was referred
to the finance committee.
Mr.. TilIman Is. c. then answered
Mr. Hoar. He said he had the deepest
respect for the integrity of the senator
had become callOus in his long service,
as was indicated by the statement that
the best people of both parties treat
with contempt the statements that there
was irregulaPity in making the sugar
schedule. On the contrary, the people
wanted an investigation; they wanted
the honor of the senate indicated or
the men who started it punished. For
that reason, Mr. Tillman said, he had
contemplated an amendment to Mr..
HOar'S proposition, so that the commit
tee would not only inquire into the
mere machinery of sugar making, but
also as to whether the sugar men used
undue means to control legislation and
to get at the root of how it is, and why
it is that the American senate can't
touch sugar without getting cOntami-
mated.
MT. f1Oar was again on mis- feet ana,
turning to the South Carolina senator,
said there was some who seemed to
think that down beneath the body of
the people there was great mass of
seething people eager for extremes. He
knew, through and through, the char
acter, purposes and opinions of the men
who get their living from their farms
and factories of Massa chusetts.
They are, he proceeded, impreSsively
simple, sincere, honest. liberty loving.
God fearing men, they think no evil, and
the appeal to vile passions falls on deaf
ears with Them
The men who ma Ike up the farms and
the factories were the same the country
over, he said, "and I hold,'' he contin-
ued, that to the great body of these
people, these charges are not only pre-
pOsterOus, but infamous"
Mr.. Tillman again made reply. While
he claimed no special mission, he had
come from the farm and from the peO-
pie, and to the senate more recently
than the Massa chusetts senator. He
knew, he said, that the only thing in
famous in this transaction, in the view
of the people, was the refusal to invest
igate, and this effort to hide behind the
senatorial tOga." If the senate persist
ed in this then it was disgraced before
the people. Public charges had been
made that bribery was abroad in con-
nectiOn with this subject and unless
you investigate, you stand convicted"
asserted the senator.

Union Pacific was commented on by all
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July to 9.
and membe of the association and
others from points west of the Missouri
river should by all means take the

The service of the Union Pacific
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars, Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers, din
ing cars and buffet smoking and IL

FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.


People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles. will look
with skepticfsm upon the claims of the
makers of the new discovery for cure of
all forms of piles, known under the name
| of Pyramid Pile Cure nevertheless the
extraordinary cures performed by this
remedy are such as to warrant the inves-
tigation of any sufferer. AS a case in
point the following letter speaks for it.
| self:
Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio, writes as
| follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen want you to use my name
if it will be of any use to you. I was so
bad with the piles that I lost work an
that account. Nothing did me any good.
I read in Cincinnati of the many cures of
piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and 1 went
to a drug store and asked for it. The
drug clerk told me he had something else
that he thought was better, but I told
him wanted to try the Pyramid first
The first box helped me so much that
tried another and then to complete the
cure used two more boxes making four in
all. I am now completely cured. Have
not a trace of piles and had suffered for
four years with the worst form of pro-
truding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but I have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. I have recommended it to
several of my friends and am thankful
to be able to write you what good the
remedy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium CO.
caine, or mineral poison of any kind and
because it is so safe and pleasant to use,
being painless and applied at night. The
patient is cured in a surprisingly short
time with no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at so cents per package, and if there
is any constipation it is well to use the
Pyramid Pills at the Same time with the
Pile Cure, as constipation is very often
the cause of piles and the pills efectually
remove the costive condition Price of
pills is % cents per package.

piles; by mail free.

FACTORIES TO UNITE.
Combination of Sash d, Door and Blind
Interests, at Rock Island.

Chicago, June 15.-In the city newspa-
pers of last Thursday appeared the inno-
cent announcement that the Western
Door company had become an incorpor-
ated concern with an authorized capital
Of $1OO0,0OO and headquarters to be located
at Rock Island, III.
1t has been ascertained that the r. c.
Kuhn Sash and Door company of La
Crosse, Wis; Curtis Bros. & Co.. Clinton,
Ia; Farley and Loetscher Manufacturing
company, Dubuque, Ia. Rock Island Lum-
Der and Manufacturing company, Rock
Island, Ill; Huttig Bros Manufacturing
company, Muscatine, Ia, and the Musca-
tine Sash and Door company of Musca-
tine, Ia, are in the deal. Sc far as can
be learned. it is the intention of the
Western Door company to purchase with
cash or stock all the plants in the dis
trict to be controlled and to close down
all but enough to supply the territory tri-
butary to the active factories.
From 1870 to 1856 fortunes were made in
this business from 1856 to 1890 the manu-
facturers perhaps held their own, but
since that time there has been a steady
and never-ceasing loss. The Western
Door company is the first experiment in
the new direction 1t takes in all the fac
tories along the Mississippi river from
Dubuque to Muscatine-wfth one excep-
ton, large concern at Davenport, and
one which it is hardly probable will ever
be induced to go into any combine-and

e. L. LOMAx,
G. P. & T. A, Omaha.

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, one Of
the most widely known men in the
state, was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: Il
have not sufficient command of Ian
guage to convey any idea of what I
suffered. My physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that moth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evans
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co, recommended Chamberlain Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after began
using the Pain Balm the swelling be
gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and
now I consider that am entirely cured.

Appeals to Railroad Board.

J. E. Fitzgerald of jamestown, Cloud
county, has asked the state board of
railroad commissioners to afford him
relief from determinations amounting
to S. per car on hay, to which he is
compelled to submit by the Missouri
Pacific.
Fitzgerald also claims that the COM
pany refuses to furnish him cars with
a sufficient capacity to hold the mini
but furnishes a car which will permit
the shipment of only $4,000 or 5000
pounds, yet charges him for the mini
mum shipment, in addition to the dis
elimination in rates.
