A CERTAIN CURE POR PILES.
Safe and Effective in Every Form Of
This Common and Annoying
Disease.

Many people suffer from piles, be-
salves and ointments without relief or
cure, have come to the conclusion that
a surgical operation is the only thing
left to try and rather than submit to
the shock and risk of life of an opera
ton prefer to suffer on. Fortunately
this is no longer necessary, the Pyramid
Pile Cure, a new preparation cures
every form of piles without pain, in
convenience or detention from business.
1t is in the form of suppOsitOries,
easily applied, absolutely free from Opt
UNI, cocaine, or any injurious substance
whatever, and no matter how severe
the pain, gives instant relief, not by
deadening the nerves of the parts, but
rather by its healing, soothing effects
upon the cOngeSted membranes.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
effective, the safest and most extern
sively sold of any Pile Cure that has
ever been placed before the public
and this reputation has been secured
by reason of its extra ordinary merit
and the reasonable price at which it is
sold, all druggists selling it at so cents
and 81 per package, and in many cases
a single package has been sufficient.
a person takes serious chances in
neglecting a simple case of Piles as the
trouble soon becomes deeply seated and
chronic, and very frequently develops
into fatal incurable rectal diseases, like
fistula and rectal ulcers.
Any druggist will tell you the Pyra-
mid is the safest, most satisfactory pile
cure made.
The Pyramid Co, Marshall, Mich,
will send to any address a treatise on
cause and cure of piles, also book of
testimonials.

JEFF HUDsON'S VIEWS
On the Calling of the Session of the
Legislature.

Jeff Hudson of Fredonia, interviewed
as to his views of the advisability of
calling an extra session of the legisla-
true, among other things said:
Until within the last few weeks
was nOminally opposed to an extra SeS-
sion of the legislature, but have recent
~ changed my views on the subject,
and now believe that an extra session
is advisable.
First: Because the people of the state
are in favor of railroad legislation, and
are entitled to have their wishes and
rights considered. 1t is not the desire
of the people of the state of Kansas,
to wreck or destroy the railroads of the
state, nor do I think the bill proposed
by Governor Leedy contains a clause
menacing the railroads of the state.
Second: From political standpoint
an extra session of the legislature is
important. While it is claimed upon
on the part Of most of the railroad
arrangements that the railroads in this
perfectly safe to say that the claim is
not altogether a sincere one. In the
first place the railroad companies pre-
tend that they are not issuing passes
this year to anyone but employees, while
every leading Republican politician in
the state without regard to his en-
ployed by a railroad company, has
in his possession today one or more
railroad passes. There are perhaps
over two hundred of these political
passes distributed throughout the state,
possession of passes Will travel two
thousand miles, which is a fair aver
age, that is a donation to the Repub-
lican campaign fund of $4,000 to begin
with. On the other hand it is equally
safe to say that fifteen or twenty will
cover the number of passes issued to
POpulists in this state-I mean, of
course, POpulists not in the employ of
the railroads. When the legislature is
convened it should pass a law requir-
ing each railroad company of the state
to make a monthly report, under severe
penalties, of all the passes, trip
or annual and to whom is
sued; and it should also pro-
vide a penalty for any evasion or at
tempted evasion of the law. do not
mean that the railroad companies
should be prohibited from passing over
their various lines regularly employed
and paid agents or employees, but the
law should be so framed that passes
for political work of any kind or char
acter could not be issued without sub
jecting the company or companies to
severe fines to be paid into the com
mon school funds of the state.''

HANGMAN'S DAY CHANGED.
Justice Bradley Again Breaks the
congratulated Rule.

Washington, March 22.-Justice Brad

Hshed rule of sentencing murderers to
be hanged on Friday, by sentencing
two to be hanged on Thursday, had oc-

again departed from the usual custom
and directed that Winston be hanged
on Wednesday, May Is, 1898.

highest record this year, and today
there were none at all. Justice Brad

BOSTON'S MORAL WAVE.
Theatrical Managers Must Submit
Posters to Censors.

Boston, March PA wave of moral

their representation of women in tights

they have been ordered to submit here

women appear to the license committee
of the board.
The board does not agree to what
constitutes a proper poster, one of the
members holding that no picture
should show ballet girls in heshlings
that black is the proper color. But the
managers do not see how they can sup
