Fire Last Evening.

About half past six o'clock last eve
ming, soon after Mr.. l.. w. Barnes
closed up his store and went home, it
was discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was gwen aud the fire companies
were promptly on hand. The back
part Of the store was in a blaze by this
time and the flames were making rapid
Roadway. Their progress was soon
checked and the fire eNtin-ui>hel be-
fore great damage was done TO the
building. But the water and smoke
played havoc with the stock of cloth
ing. At this writing it is impossible
to estimate the loss with anything like
certainty, but Mr.. Barnes thinks it
will amount to between four and five
thousand dollars. Insurance about
$500. Origin Of the fire is unknown
but from the burned condition Of the
ceiling it looks as if it first started
above, IN the passage, instead Of on
the floor about the stove as at first
supposed.

''Are you entitled to titles to mineral

1--WE contend that we are. We have
proof that mineral district was survey

long, near where Fort Sill now is in 1856.
When the Indians were sent down there
they were placed on agricultural land
and it was not intended to give them
mineral lands. We have a right to go in
there under the mineral land law Of 1872
and form miners company. secure our
certificates on claims 800 feet long and

Mr.. Hews was armed with several
titles to claims in Navajoe county issued
in this way. He is agitating the ques-

at present, intending later TO extend his
field eastward.
The prediction Of big assault on the
Wichita mountains is not new by any
means. Only a few weeks ago Captain
Price, through the Eagle, announced the
same thing. There are those, however,
who, disagreeing with Mr.. Hews and
Captain Price, do not believe that any
such raid is possible this winter There
is gold in the Wichita mountains, but the
people living on the adjoining agricult-

Remarkable Success of n New Pile Cure.
People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience
Of that common disorder, piles, will look
with skepticism 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; neverthe-
less the extraordinary cures performed
by this remedy are such as TO warrant
the investigation Of any sufferer. As a
case in point the following letter speaks
for Itself:

az follows:

any good. I read in Cincinnati of the
many cures Of piles by the Pyramid Pile
Cure and I went TO drug store and ask

had something else that ne thought was
better, but told him that l wanted to
try t.1e Pyramid first.

l tried another and then 10 complete the
cure used TWO more boxes, making four

for four years with the worst form OF
protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just
as represented. I i1ave recommended 1T
TO several of my friends and / am thank
full 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,
cocaine 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 what
ever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 80 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 effectual-
ly remove the co-tive condition. Price
