IMPORTANT TO SUFFERERS
HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN A LASTING
CURE FOR PILES.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Trihine
Expense-A Simple, Harmless Remedy.
But it Does the Work.

No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Trihing
Expsnse-A Simple, Harmless Remedy,
But it Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people
have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring them
on, any extra exertion, as in lifting, will pro
ducc hem, and in fact will often appear
without any apparent propagation. Piles,
however, arc much more serious than a cold
as the tendency is always to grow worse I'M
til the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic, or devolopes into som fatal rectal
disease.
While there are many pile remedies which
give relief, yet there is but one which not
only gives instant relief but at the same time
makes a permanent cure, and that is the
well known Pyramid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple, harm
less, vegetable ingredients, but combined so
effectively and act so promptly and thor
oughly that it cures every form Of piles
whether itching, blind, bleeding or protrud-
ing.
In long standing cases the Pyramid Pile
Cure has proven to be the only certain cure
except a surgical operation, and its advan-
tages over an operation are many, as it is
painless, causes no delay, or interference
with daily occupation and last but not least,
it is cheaper than any surgical operation
could possible be, costing but a dollar a pack
age at any drug store.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure will
not reach are so few that physicians are de-
ing away with operations for piles and de-
pending on this cheap but effective remedy
to accomplish a complete cure, and it never
d~isappoints except in cases beyond the reach
of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion, Mich, and for
sale by druggists everywhere as so cents per
package. Each package contains a treatise
on cause and cure Of piles, together with
testimonials from every section of this
country.

FINANCE AND A
Dun's Review Gives "a D%eoidedIy o~ptinistie
Outlook.

WNNlouMs
New York. Feb. En-. O. Dun a Co.'S
weekly review Of trade saysi NO I'm
portant change in business appears,
but the number Of manufacturing es-
Establishments starting much exceeds
the number of those stopping during
the week, and so much that the cur
tailment of working time u many cot
ton mills probably does not lessen the
aggregate productive force or amount
Of wages paid. There is distinct in
crease in orders for wooden goods,
some gain in the silk manufacture, a
waiting condition, with gain, in n
branch Of boots and shoes, and indi-
cations Of better things coming in the
iron and steel manufacture. All symp-
toms are favorable in the honey mar
knt, and there is cheering evidence Of
confidence among European investors.
To many It is the most %perplexing fea-
ture of current events that wheat does
not rise more, though It has advanced
~ cents for the week.
Failures for the week have been 311
in the United States, against 323 for
the corresponding week last year, and
GO in Canada against 50 last year.
Bradstreets' review says; General
trade, which was retarded by unfav-
orable weather a week ago, has re-
covered somewhat at Chattanooga,
Memphis, Birmingham and New Or
leans. While the cold weather out into
stocks of heavy gods, it delayed the
sales of spring goods. Other relatively
favorable trade reports are from st.
Paul, Chicago, Minneapolis, and st.
Louis. At most oenters jobbers report
business quiet or unchanged with no
prospect of immediate improvement.
The restriction in production Of cot
ton goods has not strengthened the
market or advanced prices yet.

SENIOR MASSO
Elected Vice President Of the
Cuban Republic.
Gen. Gomez Minister of War and Ca
lixto Garcia Major General.
Gen. Gomez Remains Commander-in-Ch Chief
of the Army of Liberation-Gen.M Molina
Appointed Commander of the Span
ish Troops in Havana Province.

HAVANA, VIA KEY WEST, Fla, Sept.
GS.-According to advices from Puerto
Principe, Senior Bartolome Masso has
been elected vice president of the Cuban
republic; Gen. Maximo Gomez, minis
ter of war, and Calixto Garcia has been
appointed major general, Gen. Gomez
"emaining commander-in-c chief of the
army of liberation.
Gen. Molina has been appointed COM
nander of the Spanish forces in the
province of Havana. He successfully
conducted operations during the last
tight with the forces of the insurgent
leader, Perico Delgado, killing 10,
among whom was son of Spanish
officer, Gen. Figuero. Young Figuero
deserted from the Spanish ranks year
ago in the Puerto Principe district.
After the fight the insurgent major,
Aranzabal, surrendered at Mercedita
plantation. He is a nephew of Gen.
Azcarraga, the Spanish premier.
The insurgent forces under the com.
mand of Simon, after being defeated
in Mantanzas, crossed into Havana
province and effected junction
with the forces under Gen. Costello.
Simon's escape was almost miraculous.
His mother and wife were captured in
camp, brought to Havana and locked
up in the house of refuge.
1t is rumored that the Spanish troops
surprised an expedition, which had
landed near Campo Florido, and cap.
tured $1,000 cartridges, together with
a quantity of new clothing of American
manufacture. 1t is also said that
quantity of boots, dried beef and medi.
cine was captured.
According to another rumor the
cruiser Reina Christina, with body OF
troops, went in search of an expedi.
ton reported to have landed nearCampo
Tlorido The Spaniards surprised the
camp and killed 43, among them many
Americans. 1t is said that the insur.
gent general. Rafael de Cardenas, who
was the leader in charge of the expedi.
tion, committed suicide when cap
tured. These rumors are not yet con.
hrmed.
Word comes from Santa Clara that
Ten. Gomez has ordered a new inva.
sion of western Cuba with u view OF
profiting by the rainy season.
1t may be safely estimated that over
$50, 600 Cubans have disappeared from
various causes. In certain towns en-
tire families have been wiped out.
Sickness continue at a high rate among
the troops, probably about $1,000 sol
tiers being on the sick list, most of
them victims of fever.
There have been few cases of yellow
fever; but the mortality from this dis
ease has thus far been less than in pre-
vious years.

What One Observer Thinks aud Says
About Her.
That superabundant brain and sur
passing beauty may but seldom be
combined; yet it does not follow tha:
all women of good sense and sharp in.
tellect are necessarily plain. says an ex.
change.
That bright thoughts enliven the
most ordinary face until the reflection
of the mind shining out in all it's radi-
ance makes one forget that the features
are not pure Grecian. and leads us to be-
lieve that such Il woman is in reality a
great beauty.
That the vivacious creature of vary
ing moods and quaint fancies is the one
to charm. a man forgets all the type
of beauty she may or may not possess,
SO interested does he become in the
pleasing study of mind that renders
her face ever winning, irresistible and
pleasing, because, like the surface of
lake. there comes change with every
varying emotion.
That the attractive woman should cul-
tivate the mind for grace of soul and
education of spirit counts for more
than limpid eyes. a rosebud mouth and
a dimpled chin.
That she should ever be teachable. for
there is not one iota of lovableness in
the man or woman who thinks he or she
knows it all.

A Look Ahead,

Our national currency system is still
in highly unsatisfactory condition,
and all friends of monetary reform
should unite in bringing their influence
to bear upon congress next winter to
secure some positive constructive legis-
lation to cure the evils which they all
recognize as existing. Whatever meas
ure is brought forward to simplify the
paper circulation, to fortify the gold
standard, upon which all our paper and
silver issues rest. and to improve our
national banking system by authorizing
branch banks and giving the feature of
elasticity TO bank circulation. will be
pretty sure TO be antagonized by all the
motley forces of cheap money-silver
men as well as paper fiatists.
On this question | believe parties will
make their next national struggle. On
cne side the platform will be govern
ment paper money and plenty ofIit to
