ENTERPRISING CITIZENS
Will Have a Sewer District to Drain
Their Section of Town.

City Engineer Barnes has made an
off hand estimate of the cost of the
drainage district in the Fifth ward
which came up at the last meeting of
the council in the form of a resolution.
He says that the cost will be in the
neighborhood of $3.50 per lot.
The district comprises the territory
between Washington and Chandler
streets and south of Tenth avenue. 1t
is inhabited principally by cOlOred peo-
pie, who, While not wealthy, are gen
orally well to do These cOlored peO-
pie are going right ahead with their
plans and there is little doubt that the
plan of Councilman Roundtree will go
through.
This portion of the city has given the
street force no end of trouble for years.
1t is so fiat that the water cannot be
drained off in the usual way by making
cutters along the street. Much money
and time have been spent in trying to
drain off the water that always col
lects, but always without success The
water stands in the street until it dries
up.
The plan now is to build an under
ground drain with large pipe. 1t will
be made to empty in the Shunganunga
and will reach every part of the addi-
ton that is troubled with stagnant wa
ter.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CALL.
Clubs to Meet in Delegate Convention
at Detroit July ID.

Cincinnati, June 1.-President D. D.
Woodmansee and Secretary Major
Bowling have issued a call for the
tenth annual convention of the Ma
tonal Republican league at Detroit
July 10. Each state and territorial
league is entitled to four delegates
from each congressional district and
six delegates at large. The business
of the convention includes reports from
retiring officers, the election of officers,
the designation of the time and place
for the next national convention, con-
SideratiOn of amendments to the ma
tiOnal constitution and organization.
There will be an evening mass meeting
addressed by leaders on national af-
fairs.
The call says: This will be the tenth
anniversary of the formation of the
league and it viii be celebrated by a
reception in honor of the ex-presidents
of the league, all of whom will be in
attendance. We cannot overeStimate
the Importance Of this convention to
the Republican party. Our victory of
last year does not guarantee perma-
nency of power. We must keep our
organization we'll equipped for the con-
test of 1898, when we will again vote
for members of congress. In many of
our state elections this year the terms
of members of the United States SEN
in that body can hardly be seen by the
close observer, it behOoves us to for
tify ourselves against the enemy.
Let us come together in large num-
bers at Detroit for the purpose of re-
viving and charging our political en-
thusiasm, so that we may return to
our homes better qualified to defend
Republican principles and better able
to carry out the purposes Of the
league"

a GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rec
tai diseases, recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery
for the cure of piles, was the most re-
markable remedy he had ever seen or
tried in one respect, and that was the
instant relief experienced in all cases.
no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied; this was
the more surprising to him. because he
had carefully analyyzed the prepara-
&ion and no trace of opium, cocaine
or similar poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure because it
is rapidly taking the place of surgical
operations and because it is SO simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly used
an pile cures
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the vari-
Gus forms of Piles but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first ap-
pncatiOn, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important ad-
vantage is that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from BUSH
ness or interference with daily Occu-
patton Sold By druggists at so cents

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
suffered. My physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that moth

suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co, recommended Chamberlain Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb

using the Pain Balm the swelling be-
gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and
