A PLAGUE of THE NIGHT
Troubles Easily Cured by a New
and safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The most
common and annoying is itching piles, indi-
Gated by warmth, Slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the parts
affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief. but nothing like perma-
nent cure can be expected from such super
fetal treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet 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
permanent removal of the tumors or the
small parasites which cause the intense itch
ing and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or, in fact, any poisonous, injurious drugs
whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
propaoly the only pile cure extensively rec
commended by physicians because it is so
safe so prompt in the relief 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 pile 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 or
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 multiplied reflections, swirling and
sweeping robes and bewildering changes of
light and positions, perfect phantasma-

great deal is always expected of Hopknss

pointed. Robert FNulgora has always been
commended for bringing to Indianapolis
about the best vaudeville company organ
lied. A glance over the list of artists to be
seen this week at the Park will satisfy all
as to the merits of the bill. Papinta's dances
have already been touched on. The Karno
trio known as musical pantomimsts" fur
nish novel act; VIII H. Fox. whose
"Paddywhisxie' has been enjoyed here in
former seasons, is back from long Euro

in his line; the sidmans, in Yankee comedy,
are said to furnish thirty minutes of as
clever entertainment as Denman Thomp-
son gives in THE Old Homestead Nor
ton and Revelle, Vinie De Witt, Genaro
and Bailey and Henry Kessler make up the
rest of this thoroughly refined vaudeville
programme. Thousands of people who do
not care for ordinary vaudeville may be
attracted to the Park this week to enjoy
these performances.

PLAY BILLS THIS WEEK
THREE DAYS OF MAGIC By THE
HERRMANNs AT THE GRAND.
hansen at the Grand Monday Night
TraDsoceanics at the Park
Reilly & Woods ut Empire.

The wonders of necromancy will be exhib-
tied at the Grand the last half of this week
by Leon Hermann, nephew and successor
to Hermann the Great, who, with Adelaide
Hermann, the talented and graceful widow
of the dead magician heads the organization
founded by Alexander Hermann, and by
him made famous the world over. Adelaide
Hermann in Difference to the wishes of
her late husband, has kept his company to-
geuher and maintained the high standard
of magic entertainment with which he de-
lighted his audiences. There are eighteen
members, and every one of them. including
the dusky "Boomski, the faithful attend
ant, who used to be so awkward as to fall
on hats that were loaned Hermann from
the audience and break them, has been with
the Herrmanns for many years. Leon Herr
mann, who fills the gap caused by the death
of Hermann the Great, has long been
slated as the only successor to that great
magician when he should pass away The
new Hermann is said to be master of the
black art. The entertainment of the Herr
MAINS this year is said to be complete and
mystifying. Two cars are necessary to
carry the amount of scenery, the big electric
light appliances and the paraphernalia used
in some of the feats of magic to be given
In addition to the sensational necromancy
by Leon Hermann, the programme will be
varied by Adelaide Hermann, who will give
the spectacular dances that have made her
famous. Several of these are said TO be en-
tirely new, having been devised by Nine
Hermann during the past summer. One of
the most beautiful is the fire dance" The
effect of the thousands of colored lights used
is to produce most startling appearance of
flames and smoke, in the center of which,
swaying werdly to and fro with graceful
movement, can be seen the figure of the
fair dancer. She also gives the beautiful
lilly dance" IL Etoille de Mutt" lie Rayon
de Soleil,' and others. Leon Herrmanns
illusions will be new TO this city. They are
all said to be worthy the great Hermann
himself, and their originality will be
charm. The one he calls Elixir Vitae"
shows the severing of a mans head in full
view of the audience, and is a startling illu-
sion. THE Maid of the Moon is not only
one Of his greatest triumphs, but is claimed
to be the most beautiful illusion ever shown.
THE Artists Dream" and the marvellous
clock trick are also among the more promi-
nent features of this programme of magic.
The engagement includes a popular-priced
Saturday matinee. Seats will be placed on
sale at the Pembroke Arcade tomorrow.

The two Mormon Elders who have
been holding forth in and around Buena
Vista for some time past, and from
which discord, unpleasantness, and
separation have occurred IN several
families, says the Buena Vista Herald,
were caused to leave town last Thurs
day night on north-bound train. They
had yiveu power to several OF their
converts to prelch aud were warned
away, but they did not heel The warn
ing.
The Elders were informed by the
de- ermined crowd that it would be best
for them to leave the community. They
protested vigorously saying that they
owned property in that town and hads
wife and child they did not W SD t(
leave. Although claiming marriage re-
lations with some of the fair sex, M
attention Was pail to their assertion
and they were started.

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.

The fourth and last quarterly confer
ence of the Lexington station was hello
Monday night at Trinity Methodist
church by Rev. Benjamin f. Ball, pre-
siding elder of the Roanoke District
with full attendance of the oflicia
board.
After routine business connected with
the finances of the church, the ectlon
of stewards for the ensuing year was
gone into, which resulted as follows
Messrs. j. M. Senseney, F. P. Rhodes,
J. A. Jackson, S. o. Campbell, S. I.
Moreland, w. A. Ruff, J. w. Miley, W.
H. Agnor, r. HI. Gillock, w. r. Ken
ney and j. Ed. Deaver The entire old
board was reelected, and owing to the
increase in church membership one adj
ditional steward was elected this year
Mr.. J. Ed. Beaver. Mr.. j. M. Senseney
was elected to represent this church at
the district conference, which will meet
in Salem some time in April.
This is the fourth year that Mr.. Ball
has served the Roanoke District as pre-
siding elder, and his term expires by
limitation. In view of his services the
board of stewards adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, this year closes the admins
tlation of our presiding elder, Rev. B.
F. Ball, on this district, therefore
Resolved, That we, the members OF
the fourth quarterly conference, OF
Trinity church, Lexington, do hereby
express our approval of, and pleasure at,
the fidelity with which he has discharg-
ed the duties of bis office, his courteous
intercourse, and pulpit service; and we
pray that the blessing Of the great Head
of the Church may attend his future
ministry.
Mr.. Ball in summing up the work OF
the Roanoke District said thatnotwlth-
standing the fact that the ethodist
church is composed Of an itineratine
clergy, yet his observation since he came
on the district four years ago proves
that Methodist preachers have held the
longest pastorates. There are seven OF
eight Episcopal charges in the district
and more than half have changed preach
ers. With the Presbyterians there are
but four ministers that have not been
called to other churches. But one
Lutheran preacher has remained the
four years, and he Owls the farm upon
which he lives. Within the bounds
of the district there is not single Bap'
fist church that has held pastor foul
years.
