A KANSAS FARM DISPLAY.

w. Click, F. D. Coburn, A. W. Smith, W.
B. Sutton, T. NJ. Potter and ]. H. Church
ILL., a committee from the state board of
agriculture, will appear before the execu-
tive council at an early meeting and ask
that in the rotunda of the state house the
board of agriculture be allowed to place
and maintain a permanent agricultural eX-
hibit. The rotunda of the building, when
completed, would afford wall space suf-
ficient to place 4 very complete display of
all the products of the state, where it
would occupy a commanding position and
could be seen by all the visitors to the
state house. The suggestion came from
Secretary Coburn when the question of
asking the legislature for an appropria-
tion for a state fair came up. 1t was sug
gested that the best fair that could be
made would be the display in the rotunda,
1t being one that would show the prod
ucts and resources every day in the year
Mr.. Coburn would have this display in the
best possible order, and extensive and di-
verSifled enough to justify the presence of
a custodian, preferably some intelligent
and worthy Union veteran, to explain TO
visitors. wheresoever from, any facts de-
sired. He stated that, when once estab-
lshed its maintenance would cost so little
per capita as to be inappreciable.

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The most
common and annoying is itching piles, indi-
Gated by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense. uncontrollobie itching in the parts
affected.
Tho usual treatment has been some SIM
ple ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief but nothing like a per-
marent cure can be expected from such
superficial treatment
vet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure,
not only for itching piles, but for every
other form of piles, blind, bleeding or pro-
truding. The first application gives instant
relief and the continued use for a short
time causes n permanent removal of the
tumors or the small parasites which cause
the intense itching and discomfort of Itch
ing piles.
MANY physicians for long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because II was
supposed to contain cocaine, opium or sim
liar drugs. but such Is not the case. A re-
cent careful analysis of the remedy showed
1t TO be absolutely free from any cocaine.
opium, or in fact, any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively rec
commended by physicians, because II is so
safe. so prompt in the relief afforded and
SO far as known the only positive cure for
piles except a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and the
most extensively sold OF any pile cure be-
fore tho public.
Nearly an druggists now sell it at 80
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co, Albion. Mich.
for a book on cause and cure of piles and
also hundreds of testimonials from all
parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles ask
your druggist for a package Of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try it tonight.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed, but Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, 1t is
more often the result of weak stomachs, of
poor digestion.
Real. organic heart disease is durable;
hut not one case in q hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and moor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogaStric. .
In another way. also. the heart, If affect
ed by that form of poor digestion: which
causes gas and fermentation from half di-
pested food: there is a feeling of oppression
and heayiness in the chest caused by pres
sure of the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation ana snort oreath. ,,
Poor digestion also poisonS the blood
makes IL thin and watery, which lrrttateS
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and 10
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals. of some safe. pleasant and eff
fective digestive preparation. like Stuart's $
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valu-
able, harmless digestive elements. in a
pleasant convenient form.
II is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer OF stomach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold by
most druggists at 80 cents. or by mail from

She. the only One of Her Kind.

Edmonia Lewis, the only colored woman
sculptor, is OF mixed African and Indian
blood. her father being negro and her
mother an Indian squaw of the Chippewa
tribe in New York. in which state she was
horn. near Albany, somewhere about 1Si0.
Her parents died in her childhood and she
lived and roamed with the tribe until she
was 15 when. by the assistance of her
brother, she went to Oberlin, o., to attend
school
As she was a Catholic. she found the at
mosphere somewhat unconBental, but she
studied there for two or three years. and
there her Indian name Of Wildfire was
changed to Edmonia Lewis. Without
master, she commenced work at Rome.
From childhood she had always had
wonderful power with her hands in shap-
ing anything she touched.
Her works have found their best sale
among the English nobility. The marquis
of Butte purchased her Madonna and
Child" for an altar piece: The Old Arrow
Maker and His Daughter" Il group in
statuary. was bought by Lady Ashburton.
Pope Plus TX. visited her studio and
blessed q work upon which she was en-
gagged. Probably her finest efforts are
