THE SURGEONS KNIFE !.
Once Believed to be the Only
Cure tor Piles and Rectal
Diseases.
A Better Way Now Discovered
Which Cures Every Form OF
Plies Without Pain or In -
convenience.

Many people suffer the pain, an
noyance and other serious results
from piles, for years, and after try
ing the many lotions, salves, ONT
ments and many SO called cures
without cure or relief, give up the
hope OF final cure, rather than sub
nit to the intense pain and danger
10 ife which a surgical operation
involves.
Happily all this suffering is no
longer necessary since the discovery
of the Pyramid Pile Cure; remedy
which is approved by the medical
profession, as being absolutely safe,
free from any trace OF opiates, mar
coric or mineral poisons and which
may be depended upon as sure
cure (not merely relief in any form
of piles, whether itching, blind,
bleeding or protruding. Some of
the hundreds of cure recently made
are little short of marvellous, as a
perusal of the following will dem
Onstrate.
Major Dean of Columbus, Ohio,
says: wish to add to the number
of certificates as to the benefit derix-
ed from the Pyramid Pile Cure. I
suffered from piles FOR forty years
and from itching piles for twenty
years and two boxes of the Pyramid
Pile Cure has cffectualIy cured me.
DR.. J. w. Meagan, Leonardville,
Kan, writes: 1 have used box of
Pyramid Pile Cure and received
more benefit and relief than from
any other remedy I had used in the
past twenty years.
Games Jamerson, Dubuque, Iowa,
says: suffered from piles for six
years; have Just used the Pyramid
Pile Cure and am well nan.
Mrs. NJ c. EIinkly. 60I Mississippi
street, indianapolis, Ind. says Have
been a sufferer from the pain and
annoyance Of piles for fifteen years.,
the Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid
Pills gave me immediate relief and
in short time complete cure.
The Pyramid Pile Cure may be
found at druggists at SO cents and
$I.00 per package. a book on cause
and cure of piles will be sent by

A TEACAER'S CLASS.
Organized BY and For the PUB
lie School Teachers
For The Herald.

For The HERALD.
In compliance with cali from
their principal, the teachers of the
city public school assembled on last
Saturday forenoon for the purpose of
founding a Teachers Institutes
Teachers Glass rather, as Professor
barbour suggested it should be call
ed, desiring to divest the organiza-
ton, even in name, of all semblapce
OF formality. Teachers are to partic-
ipate in a spirit of mutual help
and unrestrain, making in common
the journey, not up the thorny and
rugged heights of knowledge,
but along the gentle ascents leading
TO that benign Goddess, s'whose ways
are ways Of pleasantness and all
whose paths are peace"
Prof. Barboar was cllosen presi-
dent and Miss Kats whitman secre-
fary. The next meeting was set for
Oct IS, aud work mapped out TO be
accomplished in the interval. The
simultaneous study of history, Iitei-
ature and pedagogy is o DO under
takon, the three branches having so
close an affinity as in reality to be
but parts OF harmonious whole
In literature, the class makes an
early start, commeneing at the dim
hefaldic ages OF Saxon occupation
in England. for it ls realized that, all
things American being bat the of
shoot of things English, American
literature, like American history,
fnds its logical starting point coin
.cidentally with its great transact
lantic correlstive and prcgentor.
Tnthe study of pedagogy, no limit
was ascribed. The teachers have
carte blanche to roam over the vast
and fruitful pedagogical fields aud
call from teachings of Pestalozzi,
TroeseI, Rousseau and the hosts Of
other educational prophets, whose
thoughts and aims embodied in the
work of the. Brownsville public
school cannot but yield fruit a hun
bred fold.
Miss Mielke, Miss Kennedy and
Miss SAME Kennedy were appointed
to read literary selections at the
ensuing meeting, and Miss u. G.
Butler, Miss Kate Whitman and Miss
Hord to furnish essays on the sub
ject Of education. The session ended
with some able remarks BY Prof
Barbour in viii Oh were lucidly indi-
cated the advantages to accrue to the
teachers Individually, and to tho
school IN consequence, from an in
teIligent and active pursuit OF the
contemplated plan.

All Hands Lost

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Nova Scotian
schooner Walleda arrived today from Con
aives, and reports that during the height of
tine hurricane on November %, in latitude
1922, longitude 7.3, she sighted dismanted
schooner of about 100 tons flying signals of
distress. 1t was nearly dark at the time,
and her crew could be seen on the decks
gestculatng frantically for assistance. The
Walleda bore down on the stranger, and got
close under her lee and hailed her.
They shouted that the vessel was sinking
and asked to be taken off.
Captain Kemp told them that his boats
were stove in and useless. They said they
would come to the Walleda with their own
boats. During this time the Walleda laid
to, but found she was rapidly drifting to lee
ward, and was then about on quarter tack
and after several tacks managed to cross the
bow OF the wreck, and again drifted down to
the leeward port. The Walleda hailed again,
but got no answer. In the meantime, an
other three-masted schooner came to her as
slstance, and assumed position to the wind.
ward of the wreck. Both OF them stood by
until daylight. When morning broke the
wreck was seen TO be deserted and the boats
gone. 1t is supposed that the unfortunate
men had attempted to launch their boat
during the night, which capszed, and all
hands were lost.

SENATE FORECAST
Members Anxious to Dispose of the
Business Promptly

Senators express a determination to take
up the work of the session vigorously in the
beginning, with the hope of getting well
advanced before the holidays, and they are
counting upon taking up the appropriation
bills at very early date for the purpose of
preventing an extra session due to any fail
ure on the part of the national budget. 1t
is expected that the army deficiency bill
will reach the senate during the present
week, the understanding at the north end of
the capitol being that the house will dispose
of it within very few days after assem-
bling. The committee on appropriations
will bring it in early, for the double purpose
of having it passed quickly and of testing
the feeling of senators on questions con-
nected with the war.
The first days session will be given up
almost entirely to the message and there is
great interest manifested in hearing the
minutes and details Of the presidents rec
concentrations. After the reading of the
message, the senate will adjourn till the
next day. All plans for legislation of gen
eral scope awaits the promulgaton of this
document, and, as consequence, one hears

GILLtTT IS IN MEXICO
OSTENSIBLY IN SEARCH OF
RANCH PROPERTY
If He Doesn't Get Lost Again He VIII
Be Arrested by United
States Officers

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. "A dispatch
to the journal from chihuahua, Mex, says:
Grant G. Gillett, the missing Kansas cat
tie plunger, whose sudden disappearance
so startled the financial world, arrived in
chihuahua on November %, and left on the
morning OF the 24th for Durango, where it
is stated that he deposited large sum Of
money in the bank. He remained only .
short time in Durango, when he bought
return ticket to Chihuahua
Two prominent business mem of this city
came up from Durango on the same train
with him and stated that he bought first
class ticket and rode in second class coach
as lar as Torreon, where he took the Pull
man.
The gentlemen got into conversation with
him and he said he had made considerable
money in Colorado in the general merchan-
disc business, and that he was in Mexico
with a view OF investing in a ranch or
mining property. He conversed quite free
ly upon various topics, referring OCCASION
ally to the cattle business He was WELL
dressed and wore several beautiful dia.
monds
At Jiminez he was met by his attorney,
C. r. Troxel, and the two entered into low
conversation and remained together until
they reached Chihuahua. They arrived here
last Monday and went 10 the leading hotel,
where they registered
The man was undoubtedly Gillett, a.
mis- signature corresponded with his sigma
ture to document held in this city.
Troxel left Tuesday on the stage for the
west, presumably to the mining camps in
the Sierra Madre mountains.
Gillett is still in the city, but his where
abouts are unknown, except to the de-
tectives who are closely shadowing his ev-
cry movement.
The report that Gillett has been arrested
and held in custody here is untrue. The
Jefe Politco says the Mexican authorities
have not seen him and know nothing Of his
whereabouts.
He will be arrested Immediately upon a
warrant from the authorities of the United
States, who are expected to arrive soon
from Ell Paso. Their baggage is all in this
city and on one of the trunks is the tag
with the name c. r. Troxel
Three letters which have arrived at the
hotel for c. G. Gilett have mysteriously
disappeared.
