ONE IN EVERY FOUR
One Person 1n Every Four Suffer
From Piles.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is Itch
ing piles, indicated by warmth, slight
moisture and intense, uncomfortable
itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles. blind, bleed
ing or protruding. The first applica-
ton gives instant relief and the con-
tinued use for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itching
piles
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium, or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful ana
lysis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or in fact any poisonous. injurious
drugs whatever Sold by druggists at

VOTE FOR PROGRESS
And Work for the Workingmen on
the New Auditorium.

The different ward committees ap-
pointed by the local Commercial club
committee are working industriously
on the proposition which will be sub
mitted to the voters next Tuesday.
The enemies of progress and the au-
ditorium are circulating the story that
a vote for the proposition means an in
crease in taxation and the committees
have had cards printed to show that
this is not true. 1t will be simply nee
essary to make a cross marks opposite
the words at the bottom of the ticket
which read For the proposition to
vote money"
City Attorney Bird has given his
opinion that if the money in the coal
hole fund is not used for the audito-
rum it must go into the sinking fund
and cannot be used on the streets nor
anywhere else. The only way in which
the 1aborers of the city will receive any
benefit from the money will be through
it's use in building the auditorium.
which will employ a great number.
Don't be misled. Vote for the New
Topeka, progress and the auditorium. !"

LYMAN ABBOTT ON NEWS.
The Eminent Divine DEGREES Recent
Attacks on the New Journalism"

4ne Em1nenG Divine DEGREES Recent
Attacks on the New Journalism
New York. April 3.-Before the stu
dents of the College of the City of New
York, DR.. Lyman Abbott spoke yes
terday afternoon upon What Kind of
a Life is Worth Living Here are
some of the things that DR.. Abbott
said:
"All methods of money making other
than the old one of giving an honest
return for value received are either
gambling or actual robbery. This is
truth, disguise it the best we may.
1T is a fashion nowadays to de-
nounce newspapers and new journal
ism, but much of this is unjust. The
correct paper holds the mirror up to
nature. 1t shows US life as it is. If
the picture is not pleasant, that is not
the fault of the newspaper. If a man,
looking in a glass, sees he has a dirty
face, the correct thing for the man to
do is to clean his face, not break the
glass. So we should try to make life
better, not simply censure the papers
for reporting it as it is. At the same
time, while admitting this, too much
should not be given to the bad side.
The good should be portrayed and held
up to admiration"

Senator Morrilps Tariff Prediction

washington, April 3.-Senator Nor
riIl gave it as his prediction last night
that the tariff bill would not be finally
acted upon in the senate before Sep
TENDER l. He said the disposition Of
the opposition, as far as he could learn,
was to debate the bill in all its phases,
and if this course were pursued itWould
be impossible to get action on it for five
months. Senator MorrilI's view, while
entitled to much weight on account of
his great experience in tariff matters,
is not shared by other senators on his
side. many of whom predict that an ad-
journment will be reached by July Is.

MAPLE LEAF HOTEL BURNS
Two Boarders Perish in the Flames
Loss $3, 900.

St. Joseph, Mo, April 3.-News is re-
ceived here of the burning of the Maple
Leaf hotel at Richmond, Mo. Two
boarders named James Herman and
Frank Anderson persisted in the flames.
A frame boarding house adjoining the
hotel was also destroyed. The total
loss on both buildings is estimated at
$4,000, with insurance of 1000.
Herman was an old citizen of Rich
1nond, but Anderson was a stranger in
that vicinity. Both men had been dis
sipating the night before and did not
retire until late, which accounts for
their heavy sIumber.

BRADSTREFTsS S.

BRADSTREETsS
Bradstreet's says: The course of
general trade shows some improvement,
notwithstanding an almost complete
stOppage of business in the south Mis-
sissippi valley by WashOuts, OverfiOWs
and floods. The condition of the coun-
try roadways throughout the central
western states and the northwest is
such as to still further delay collec-
lions and check demand from interior
merchants. Another drop is recorded
IN prices OF Bessemer pig iron and steel
blIletS, and in wheat, -four, COAL coffee
and lard, which is partly offset by in
creased activity and higher prices for
woolens, for corn, oats, sugar and pc
troleum. Interest in lumber and shin
giles has increased on the northwest Pa
cif1c coast. Most favorable trade re-
ports received from northwestern
spring wheat states.
There are 4,042 business failures in
the United States reported by Brad
streets during the past quarter, com
pared with 4,512 in the first quarter of
1896, a falling off of about II per cent.
The decrease is reported from all sec
lions except New England and the ter
ritories. The large number of eastern
state failures are small ones. The
total liabilities of those failing in the
New England states are about % per
cent smaller during the past quarter
than a year ago Liabilities of all in
dividuals, firms and corporations which
failed amount to 1852, SIS, OO0 a falling
OIL VI 10 per cent from the correspond
ing total last year.
Special reports to Bradstreet's from
SO cities, with reference to revival of
activity in industrial lines, indicate that
there are working at those centers not
to exceed 100000 in excess OF the num-
Der employed in November last. The
increase is largely among employees of
manufacturers of wooden goods, shoes,
clothing, machinery. engines, agricul-
tural Implements, bicycles, carriages,
furniture, iron, steel, glass and ship
building. Depression still exists among
some branches of the wooden goods in
dustry in coal mining and cotton goods

Bank clearings for March at 81 cities
of the United States show an increase
of Is per cent. compared with March
one year ago, the first monthly increase
over corresponding total one year ago
since April l. 1896. The March gain
over February this year is IA per cent,
but the decrease from the January total
is So per cent. Compared with March,
1895, March this year shows gain of
more than per cent, and with March,
1894, it is nearly II per cent, but com
pared with March clearings in 1898, two
months prior to the outbreak of the
panic, last months total shows a fall
ing off of p per cent.
The weeks clearings, amounting to
$906, COG, 900, are 2.3 per cent larger than
the total last week, 5 per cent smaller

A BUSY WOMAN.
Her Public "Duties' and Home Af-
fairs Clashed Somewhat.

The Pstreet electric car, while wend-
ing its way toward Fifteenth street
few afternoons since, was hailed at
Seventh street by woman and child.
The former. whose face showed a calm
and contented mind, was costumed in a
perfect-fitting tailor-made gown of
winter shade OF gray, with a handsome
hat of black velvet, set gracefully on
the head. When she entered the car
there was but one other occupant, a
brown-h haired woman of perhaps 45
summers.
At Tenth street the car was hailed
and boarded by another woman and
her child. The contrast between the
aforementioned one, who may be called
Mrs. X, and the second, who will an
swer to the name of Mrs. A, was strik-
ing.
"Oh, how-de-do, Mrs. X How calm
and comfortable you look I have had
to hurry so fast, l thought 1 never
would get ready"
Mamma. mammal interrupted the
child, pulling at her elbow How long

"Hush-be quiet! I told you this was

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the WerSt Cases of DyS-
pepsia and Indigestion.

Yet 1t Cures the NefSC NaSeS OI DyS-
pepsia and Indigestion.
DIR. Jennison, who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: Ali
forms of indigestion really amount TO
the same thing-that is, failure to COM
pletely digest the food eaten; no mat
ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep-
sia or sour stomach, belching of wind,
nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and
appetite; a person will not have any
of them if the stomach can be induced
by any natural harmless way to thor
oughly digest what is eaten, and this
can be done by simple remedy which
I have tested in hundreds of aggra-
waited cases with complete success. The
remedy is a combination of fruit and
vegetable essences, pure aseptic pep
sin and golden seal put up in the form
of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by
druggists under the mamie of Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets One or two of
these tablets should be taken after
meals and allowed to dissolve in the
mouth and mingling with the food in
the stomach digests it completely be-
fore it has time to feT1ment, decay and
sour.
On actual experiment one grain OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
1900 grains of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally it would be a national bless
ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics,
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
a secret patent medicine, but a fifty
cent package will do more real good
for a weak stomach than $50 worth of
patent medicines, and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting into his stomach which
he does not know when widely adver-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's DYSPEPSIA
Tablets, full sized packages 90 cents.
