a GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of Piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure the new discovery for the
cure of piles was the most remarkable
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 moment the remedy
was applied; this was the more surpris-
ing to him, because he had carefully
analysed the preparation and no trace
of opium, cocaine 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
in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the var
ious forms of Piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, 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 advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from bust
ness or interference with daily Occupa-

Mayor Fellows has been in politics

seems to have the most absolute conf

primary. He told a Journal reporter
that he has no fears of the result and
is doing no work.

Mayor Fellows. Il confess that have

changing the subject, that was good
speech Jetmore made the other night
at a Hibben meeting. I like to have
him make those kind of speeches

making an active campaign.

minds. 1t has not been two months

Mr.. Jetmore is attorney for the COM

Colonel Burgess suggested that we take
up the resolutions first and pass the
one referring to the viaduct, SO we
would not have to listen to the attor-

RICHES IN STAMPS.
Collection of 20 Years Traded for
$3.50 Wisconsin Hotel

Chicago, March 6.-When Byron S.
Ross of 500 Walnut street began to COL
lect postage stamps 20 years ago he was
called a crank by his schooImates. His
parents tried to dissuade him from what
they thought was a foolish craze. He
told his father that some day his stamps
would bring him fortune.
His dream has come true. A few
days ago Mr.. Ross traded his collection
of stamps for a hotel at Hurley Wis,
valued at $4,000.
He can now laugh at those who 20
years ago called him a srank. Mr.. Ross
left for Hurley last night to take charge
of the hotel, which was purchased with
postage stamps. He bought the prop
erty from John E. Burton, mine own
er, who is going to establish his son in
the postage stamp business.
This is perhaps the first time in his
tory that a deal of such magnitude was
made with postage stamps. The Bar
don house. which Mr.. Ross has bought,
is one of the best known hotels in Wis
consin. 1t was built a few years ago
by Mr.. Burton, who is the owner of
1t has so rooms and has always had a
good patronage.
It took about 100000 stamps to buy
the hotel. Mr.. Burton and his son spent
several days in counting them. After
they had counted $50, 900 worth, Mr..
Ross still had his private and foreign
collection left.
For several years Mr. Ross has been
the largest dealer in Cancelled stamps in
Chicago. He was a mail carrier for ten
years and this gave him unusual adj
vantage for making his collection.
He has bought and sold many mill
ions of American and foreign stamps
His collection, which he traded for the
Hurley hotel, is considered one of the
largest in the United States.

A most remarkable state of affairs ex-

STOPPED EVERY THIRD BEAT.
But Mrs. Strope's Heart Now Longer Lays but
Throbs Regularly.
F+sm tn. Leader. Cleveland. Ohio.

In a large, commodious house at No. 104
Huntington Street, Cleveland, Ohio, lives
Mrs. Emily A. Strope, widow of the late K. NJ.
Etrope, and she is the mother of young man
who has been, and is now one of this city's
successful and energetic pharmacists. Mrs.
Strepe who has lately recovered from serious
cardiac difficulty, when questioned by re-
porter regarding her late illness, stated as
follows:
1.-Two years ago, I had my first experience
with Dr.. Williams Pink Pills. For long
time was troubled with an ailment which
feared would eventually drive me crazy unless
I rid myself of it. 1t will sound strange, no
doubt, to seme but my heart did not beat as it
should. Its action was irregular. There
would be two pulsations, or perhaps three and
then a sudden cessation. My heart seemed to
rest for the period of one or two beats, and
then resume its action. Sometimes such
lapses would not be so frequent as that, but
scarcely day passed that they did net occur.

heart with great force, and push it out of

temporary paralysis coming over them, but 1
could do nothing which would prevent it. My
feet were affected in like manner, and had
considerable difficulty in walking when such a
spell had possession of me. Naturally that

One day my son, who was keeping drug

better. I used the pills about two months
and they certainly cured me, for now my

AIMED AT THE TOURISTS.
Tailors Seek to Levy Duty on Cloth
ing Bought Abroad.

Chicago, March 6-"President-eIect
Mckinley has warmly approved of the
purposes of the Retail Dealers Board
of Trade, the aim of which is to take
off the free list the clothing and per-
sonal outfit of returning European tour
lists, and compel them to pay the usual
tariff on everything they bring with
them from abroad, except what they
took with them. He has even said it
would give him great pleasure to sign
any act which congress may pass to
secure that end"
This was said by Charles z. Hyde.
who presided over a meeting of retail
merchant tailors held at the Sherman
House preliminary to the organization
of the Chicago branch of the Retail
Dealers Board of Trade.
This reform is aimed at every Amer
lean citizen who shall visit Europe in
the future. Just or unjust, if this
change is made in the tariff laws it
will make a considerable reduction in
the advantages of going abroad.
This movement hadS it's inception at
the national convention of merchant
tailors held at Cleveland on February
9, 10 and IL. The debates and resolu-
lions of that body had such an effect
that the New York delegates hardly
had returned home before they had or
ganized the Retail Dealers Board of
Trade of New York and established
permanent headquarters at No. z41

NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN.
Miss Jane Adams Wins a Point in
Her Battle.

Chicago. March 6.-Part of the night
schools of the city are to remain open
until April 5. Jane Adams won her
fight for these schools yesterday, Pres
1dent Halle of the board of education
and Thomas Cusack and H H. Gross
and Thomas Brennan discussed the sit
uatiOn. Mr.. Cusack said:
THE Garfield, Throop and Wells night
schools ought not to be closed. They
reach a class of population that can not
be got at any other way, and these peo-
pie need education. They are
hungry for it, and we ought to
give it to them, even if we cut off mon
ey needed by the departments of less
Importance. The Greeks, the Italians
and the Bohemians are all cIamoring
for the continuance of the schools I
name and 1 want them kept open"
To keep the three schools named open
another month would cost about S. 600.
Mr. Halle said if Mr. Brennan would make
a written request of him to have the
Garfield, Throop and Wells schools re-
main open, he would so order, and they
would remain open. Then he would
take the matter before the board next
Wednesday night and get its approval
Mr.. Brennan wrote the request at once
and the three schools will not close on
Friday night.

a Scandal IS Sprung IN the Midst OF
the Columbus Board of Education.
Columbus, March ga sensation was
sprung this afternoon on the school
board which will result in a rigid in
vestigation.
The new library committee was yes
terday presented with a bill for several
editions de luxe of the Secret Memoirs
of the French Revolution" which had
been furnished the school library The
bill amounted to several hudred dollars,
and an investigation was set on foot.
The librarians stated that these books
had had an immense run among the
school children, and the members of
the board examined them.
They were found to be a report of the
trials for various bestial offenses with
which members of the French aristoc-
racy had been charged at different
times together with an extremely racy
tale of the various social crimes which
led to the revolution. They were en-
bellished with artistic but impure pic
lures of the occurrences described. The
volumes, which were very small, sold
al $40 each.
