HEADQUARTERS FOR BUTTER
Is the New Store of Il. Myers, at Main
Street and Bridge Place.

Is the New Store of Il. Myers, at Main
Street and Bridge Place.
The steady procession of men, women
and children in and out of E. Myers
butter store at the corner OF Main street
and Bridge Place, yesterday afternoon
and evening, furnished abundant proof
not only OF the excellence OF Mr. Myers
business methods, but also Of the quail
ity OF butterine which he sells. When
it is considered that hundreds of Gus
toners were buying butterine at mis-
stand in the Fifth ward market. and
from scores of dealers in the city and
vicinity at the same time, an adequate
idea may be formed of the popularity
of Braun & Fits high grade product.
Prudent housewives take no other, and
even in the homes Of wealth, Braun &
Fits buttefine is generally preferred
to creamery butter.
Quality is the first and greatest con-
sideration in the manufacture of but
terine by the Braun & Fits company.
They claim to be the only high grade
churners of butterine and they furnish
abundant evidence to subtantiate their
claim. The sworn statements of sales
and production of butterine to the Col
fact that Braun & Fits sales during
September exceeded ONE MILLION
POUNDS, and that NO OTHER FAC
TORY SOLD AS GREAT A GUAM
THY. Sworn returns of materials used
prove conclusively that Braun & Fits
factory is the ONLY ONE THAT DOES
NOT USE COTTON SEED OIL as a
cheapener.
1t is unnecessary to dwell upon the
importance of these facts; their value
is apparent to all And they
ARE FACTS capable of easy
proof Braun & Fits offer
one thousand dallars to any one
who can disprove them. Braun & Fits
product is always '.just a little better
than the best" butterine churned by any
competitor
E. Myers is the local exclusive agent
for Braun & Fits butterine. The in
crease in his jobbing sales has been
very large, while the increase in retail
sales has been truly remarkable. Last
month Mr.. Myers sales exceeded those
of the previous month by 10000
pounds. His new butter store is located
at the corner of Main and Bridge Place.

OF our day, are striving to make ar
rangements whereby it will be possible
to bring the renowned author here and
to have him deliver one of his incom-

To realize such possibility, how

to Mr. Zangwill, if he does appear, an
audience at once cultured and appre-

matters, and capable of approaching
the ability of a genius such as the Eng

being made to secure the names of

are secured his appearance here will be

that Major Pond announces that Fang

will soon have to assume definite

Is CERTAIN cbRE FOR PILES.

Safe and Effective in Every Form OF This
Common and Annsying Disease.
Many people suffer from piles, be-
cause after trying the many lotions,
salves and ointments without relief or
cure, have come to the conclusion that
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 Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, new preparation, cures
every form Of piles, without pain, in
convenience or detention from bust
ness.
1t is in the form Of suppositories,
easily applied, absolutely free from
opium, cocaine or any injurious sub
stance whatever, and NO matter how
severe the pain, gives instant relief,
not by deadening the nerves of the
parts, but rather by it's healing, sooth-
ing effect upon the congested MEM
branes.
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 extraordinary merit and
the reasonable price at which it is sold,
all druggists selling it at 80 cents and
81 per package. and in many cases
single package has been Sufficient.
A person takes serious chances in
neglecting simple case of piles, as the
trouble soon becomes deep 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.

Small audiences are characteristic OF
Republican gatherings in this cam
paign. Thursday night the opening
gun in the city was fred by Republic
cans at Pythian Hall. on the South
Side, at which were present only about,
fifty or sixty persons. The meeting at
Benwood last night was even smaller
than that.
The Hon. Charles T. Caldwell, of
Parkersburg, who is a candidate for
United States Senator, had been ad-
vertised for a couple OF weeks to
speak last night in the Benwood City
Hall and as a result he had just fifty
four persons to hear him, a number of
them being Democrats VINO came
through curiosity to hear what the
speaker might have to say. The eff
feet of such a small audience in a man
ufacturing town like Benwood was de-
cidedly dampening to say the least.
Brother Caldwell is considered one of
the wittiest and most entertaining
Republican stump speakers in the
State, but he was not able to draw
more than a handful of people. He
only had seventy-six persons at his
meeting at Moundsville Thursday
night and a very slim attendance at
Wellsburg Friday night, consequently,
he is accustomed to small audiences
and this fact did not prevent HIM from
making his speech last night.
Squire Riddle was named as chair
man of the meeting He introduced
Mr.. Caldwell, who kept his few hear
ers amused for an hour or so with fun
ny stories. His speech contained no
new arguments. He urged Republic
cans to endorse President McKinleys
administration, to fall in line and
vote the ticket again this fall This
fearful eXhortation was not received
with any noticeable outburst of en-
thusiasm. The meeting was notable
on account of the non-attendance of
the most prominent Republicans of
Benwood, who have heretofore at
tended all meetings and have been &C.
tive workers for the party. Their alb
sence is slight indication of the large
detection in the Republican party this
year. Last nights meeting is adj
mitted by Republicans to have been the
smallest ever held in BenWOOd
