YOU CANNOT CURE PILES


The only way to cure piles In every form
Is to use a remedy like the Pyramid Pile
Cure, which is applied directly to the parts
affected and its wonderful healing effects
are left on the first application because the
medical properties are rapidly absorbed by
the sensitive membranes of the rectum and
he cure is speedily made, and almost before
the patient is aware of it, every trace OF
piles has left him.
This Is one reason why the Pyramid Pile
Cure has been so successful. II is applied
directly where 1t Is needed and where IL
will do the most good. Not by the round
about way OF the stomach. nor by the harsh,
barbarous methods OF various surgical opera
tons and so called systems,
Its advantages over all other pile cures are
these; 1t cures without pain, the cure Is
lasting, IT contains nc poison and Is tho
quickest and cheapest cure yet found. IL is
made by the Pyramid Drug Co, of Mar
shall, Mich, and sold by all druggists at
one dollar per package.

Elks, Social Session.

Congressman-elec and Congressman in
fact David II. Mercer was the chairman at n
social session of the local Elks' lodge last
night. He presided in witty and satisfactory
fashion over a larger gathering Of members
of the order than has assembled for some
little time. Fully 300 guests furnished the
audience for the excellent program that was
put on the boards.
The program included a song by Mr..
Strycker. a local songster; tricks of magic
by Look" of the Streets Of All Nations,
similar advertisement by Choo Ling Foo and
Fook Kivaie Of the Chinese village, music by
the Rose brothers and turns by Mr.. Collins
and Mr.. Hoffman, in addition to a consider
able number of extras. Besides this enter
tainment the audience was provided with a
great suficlency Of refreshments of various
and divers sorts.
The affair was engineered by a committee
consisting OF the following: ]. Z. Tetard,
J. c. Parrish, w. T. Canada, ]. Ainscow and
+. Crawford.

Wight schools and kindergnrtcns.

Superintendent OF Schools Pearse is en-
gagged in making the necessary preparations
for the opening Of the night schools in the
Cass and Leavenworth schools next Monday
night. The teachers are still to be selected,
but all other arrangements are very nearly
complete. The school district will supply
the books, states, paper and possibly also
the pens and pencils. All who desire to
take the course of study during the winter
are requested to report at either one OF the
schools at 1880 o'clock on Monday evening.
The committee on kindergartens has made
its recommendations for the additional
teachers needed in the kindergartens next
Monday, when this department Of the public
school system will be extended from a half
day to a whole day attendance. Superin-
tendent Pearse apparently has not yet made
up his mind regarding the appointees. al
though he says that they will come from the
assigned list.

VOTE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY
Canvass of the Vote Completed and Final
Returns Footed Up. -.
ONLY MINOR CHANGES MADE IN TOTALS
Books Generally i'm Good Shape and
Routine Work of the Election
BOards Well DOne-Whnt
the Figures Are.

The county canvass was completed by
County Clerk Haverly and Samuel Macleod
and William Wappich about Z o'clock yes
terday evening, J. l.. Livesey having all
the totals footed up at that hour. There
were very few changes of any consequence.
There were some slight changes in the feg-
islative vote, but nothing 10 alter the re-
suit. p. p. Mergen was elected over NJ. w.
Mitzlaff to the West Omaha assessorship by
a majority of so. This was the only change
of any Importance.
Mr.. Wappich, who has helped to canvass
the returns now for three elections, says he
had never seen better work done by the
election boards in the entering of their fig
ures and arranging of their totals. However.
some Irregularities had to be noted. In the
Eighth district Of the Eighth ward, the
First district of the Seventh ward and the
First district Of the Second ward. an the
votes were not properly tailed on the poll
books, but the names on the poll lists and
the number OF ballots cast correspond. In
the Eighth district of the Eighth ward the
board had entered the names on the school
election book but omitted them from the
regular poll list. The omission in the First
| district OF the Seventh ward was caused by
the election officers counting the straight
tickets In a bunch. In the Fourth district
or the Fifth ward there was a discrepancy of
four votes, the tally sheet showing 220 votes
while 224 ballots were recorded.
The detection from Winter to Shields
| seemed. to be general. The most extraordi-
nary discrepancy in republican totals was
that Of the Eighth ward. Detweiler got 90i
votes and Kierstead only 703. In the Ninth
ward Olmsted received 7S2 to Kierstead's 63S.
In the Third ward Beverly got 6S7 and Kier-
stead 6l9. Flynn and Stlrgess have the high
est total legislative vote, the former receiv-
ing 1O,221 and the latter 1880. The other sue
cessful candidates are Beverly, 9,471; Bur-
man, 9,S15; Cox, 1855; Detweiler. 9,4lS;
Houck, 9,35S; Myers, 1897; Olmsted, $500.
The senatorial vote for Crow, Noyes and
Van Dusen ranged from 1886 to $500. Con-
gresham David II. Mercer has the highest
straight vote of any candidate, 9,9i6. Judge
Hayward came next with 9,64t. Following
is the complete official count;

and even more, I believe, serve Postum in
such . way that II is t~asteless and unpalat-
able. Every one who has at any time had
Q genuine cup Of well made Postum likes Il
and you may depend upon 1t that any one
who says they do not like Postum has ne'e'
really had a good cup Of Il. The whole sc
cret is in the boiling. II must be boiled
long enough to bring out the flavor.
II suffered terribly with dull headaches

years or more. I could give you quite s

out by an investigation into existing con-
ditions. The Elkhorn railroad at present
has no through freight tariffs for the move
ment Of grain south through Omaha. but 1t
has for the southern traffc OF grain through
Lincoln, Neb. There is not a great deal
OF grain moves the latter way. but 1t is
impossible to ship grain off the Elkhorn
road south over the Missouri Pacific, Bur-
lington or Port Arthur routes through
Omaha at all. No rates for such possible
movements are ever quoted. The only des-
~tination the Elkhorn officials know any
thing about is Chicago.
There was a period when the Elkhorn
railroad was compelled by the Wabash road
TO allow through rates to be. quoted for the
movement OF grain off the Elkhorn road
south over the Wabash. That was in 1890.
The Wabash was having a great deal OF
trouble In getting grain off the Elkhorn
road because II. g. Burt, who was then
general manager Of the Elkhorn. would al
low no through freight rates over the Wa
bash to be named.
This worried the Wabash officials a great
deal. but finally they solved the problem
by getting up into the territory tributary
to the Elkhorn railroad via the Union Pa
ciic and it's branch lines. Then the Wabash
made better offers to the grain men to ship
their grain to St. Louis than the North
western could offer for the grain to be
delivered in Chicago. A large quantity OF
grain off the Elkhorn commenced to move
southwark over the Union Pacific and Wa
bash railroads, and General Manager Burt
requested a halt. He asked the Wabash
officials what friendly arrangements could
be made and they replied that they would
agree on no plan that did not provide for
through rates. In a little while such a
through tariff was put into effect on the
Elkhorn road and remained In force some
time. But it is out again now. No grain
rates south through Omaha are now named
by the Elkhorn road. A repetition Of the
! incident OF 1890 in the near future Is not
an impossibility.

Usual to Season.

NSuUl 10 SEASON.
According to the reports hat are being
received at the city health office the health
OF Omaha citizens just now is very good.
There is a decided scarcity Of contagious
diseases, the city in this respect being
much better off than 1t was last year.
Pneumonia seems to be somewhat more
prevalent and there has been rather
unusual prevalence OF typhoid fever, but
the number Of cases Of these diseases Is not
much above the normal.
There is no such epidemic Of sore throats
and diphtheria as there was this time last
year. In October, 1897, sore throat was
very prevalent among school children. and
no less than sixty cases OF diphtheria OF
greater or less seriousness were reported fol-
that month. During the month OF October
this year. there have been a bare dozer
cases reported. and but few Of them hav,
been serious.

as dry as a powder mill and not a drop OF
