DIR. DEPEW is SOLID.
The Rumor That He is Going to Quit
the New York Central Has
No Foundation.

New York, Jan. 15.-Certain Wall
street news agencies circulated a re-
port yesterday that, owing the contin-
ued illness of Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
important changes were to be made in
the near future in the management of
the New York Central railway. 1t was
stated that Mr.. William K. Vanderbilt
was to become the president of the
company, and that the chairmanship
of the board, now held by Mr.. Cornell
ius Vanderbilt, was to be abolished.
With these changes it was intimated
that Mr.. c. NJ. Depew, the president,
was to be retired.
In reply to a question as to any foun-
datiOn the story might have, Mr. De-
pew said the tale was utter and com
plete bosh, and was evidently an inven-
ton by one of the numerous persons
who sit up nights involving similar
tales about the Vanderbilt properties.

tan Island Being Cared For.

New York, Jan. 15.-Few New York
ers Of the present day are aware that
there is in this city a liberty pole, the

mounted bv a weather vane and ball,
both of which are annually gilded by
los. r. Lamb, the artist, whose studios
are within a stones throw of the an
cient emblem of American liberty, at
his own expense.
SIX years ago the pole was struck by
lightning. but it was repaired in short

PLAGUE OF TEE NIGHT
Itching Piles and Other Rectal Trou-
bles Easily Cured by New
and Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
J. c. FULTON.
Depot Agent.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncontroll-
able itching in parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
sinnple 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 vet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind bleeding
or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for a short time causes a perma-
nent removal of the tumors of the
small parasites which cause the intense
itching and discomfort of itching piles.
Mapv physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed bv the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
caine oDiuua or similar drugs but such
is not the case. A recent careful anal
vsis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cocane, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extern
sively recommended Dy physicians, De-
cause it is so safe, so prompt in the re-
lief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
nile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form Of piles
ask your druggist for a package of
Pyramid Pile Cure and try it tonight.

THESE WORDS PLEASANT.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Brigham Tells What the East
Thinks.

kansas is a premier among the
western states today said J. H. Brig
ham, assistant secretary of agriculture
at Washington, who addressed the
state board of agriculture last night.
THE people of the east now seek to
learn more of the wonderful resources
and advantages of this state,' he con-
tinued. I'VE all remember when the
people of the east made special effort
to say unkind things about Kansas,
but all this has changed.
+'The prosperity of the state and the
aggressive character of her citizens has
placed the state high in the estimation
of the people of the east. Kansas is a
name which charms a majority of them
and large proportion of the people of
the east look to this formerly much
abused commonwealth for that which
is new and artistic in development and
progress.''
