A distinguished specialist Of Nantes,
DR.. Rappin, has been investigating the
haunts OF the members Of the germ
tribe. He states that microbes are
very fond Of playing cards and that any
card which has been played with rea-
sonably often will be found to be pretty
we'll impregnated. Working on cards
played by patients (consumptives and
others) at the hospital at Nantes, he
found no fewer than 6,16O bacteria on

JOINT COAL CONVENTION.
1t VIII Meet on Monday to Settle
the Wage Scale.

CHICAGO. Jan. 14.-Nearly 600 coal
miners and operators. representing Il
linois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
will meet in joint convention in Chica-
go on Monday for the purpose Of
bringing about, if possible, the adoption
of a wage scale and working agree
ment in order to prevent a general
strike next summer The majority Of
the miners and operators agree that 1t
will be difficult to avoid a repetition
of the troubles Of last year Other
questions beside the disputed wage
scale will enter into the controversy.
1t is said the largest operators in the
East are now willing to concede the
scale of 60 cents, for which the men
struck last year. This would mean
an advance of about % per cent over
present prices. While the men have
made no formal demand on the operat-
ors, 1t has been said on the authority
of one of the officials Of the United Mine
Workers of America that the 69-cent
scale will not be accepted without 9TH
er concessions. and even then, the min
ers say, it will be bitterly opposed by
the union.

ROCKEFELLER A WITNESS.
Under Examination in u Railway
Rate Case.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. A. -
William Rockefeller, of the Standard
Oil company, was a witness today in
the United States circuit court in the
trial Of the suit of Charles M. DespouX,
surviving member of the firm of Fee
nile &c DespouX, oil reffners in France,
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
company for alleged discrimination in
rates, in 1881, 1882 and 1858, in carry
ing oil. The plaintiff contends that the
Standard Oil company and some pri-
Vate shippers were given commissions,
or rebates, and were thus enabled to
transport oil at a less cost than they.
Mr.. Rockefeller said in 1877 an agree
ment was made between his company
and Thomas A. Scott, the president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
that the Standard was for a period Of
five years to receive a commission on
crude oil shipped over the road, pro-
vided it shipped 100000 barrels of oil
per annum. Mr.. Rockefeller said he
had no doubt his company received the
lowest rate for the carrying of it's oil
that was possible to obtain.
Counsel for the plaintiff questioned
Mr. Rockefeller as to various particu-
lars regarding matters that happened
long ago, to which witness replied that
he could not remember, and that it was
probably due to advancing age The
witness was then questioned about re-
bates and drawbacks, and said he
knew of no difference between them.
The object of each was to give lower
rate. Mr.. Rockefeller was then asked
regarding the agreement in evidence
made between Daniel O'Day, the man
ager of the American Transfer COM
pany, and President Scott in 1873, I'M
der which the transfer company was
allowed a percentage Of 20 cents per
barrel for the oil it brought for ship
ment to the railroad company Wit
ness said the agreement was abro-
gated in 1880, and that his knowledge
was received from an attorney In New
York. Since the termination of the
O'Day-Scott agreement, Mr.. Rockefel-
ler said no rebates had been paid by
the Pennsylvania company to the
Standard under the agreements which
had existed prior to that time
Court then adjourned and Mr. Rookie
Teller will resume Monday

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECa
tai TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BY A NEW AND SAFE
METHOD.
Remarkable Number of Cures
Made by the Pyramid Pile Cure.


About one person IN every four SUI
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and ANNOYING ia
itching piles. indicated by warmth
slight moisture and intense uncontroll-
able itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial 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 appli-
cation gives instant relief and the con-
tinued use for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itching
piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because 1T was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium or similar drugs but such
is not the case. A recent careful anal
ysis Of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cocaine, opium.
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure ex-
tensively recommended 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 1t at
Scots 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 Py-
ramid Pile Cure and try it tonight.

Dread of ViIIers.

JAMESTOWN. n. D.. Jan. lin the dis
trict court, Mrs. Tromer, attended by two
physicians, was brought into court in re-
Ginning chair and placed on the witness
stand. when the defense commenced the
cross examination. Only a few questions
were asked her by the defense, relating to
the date when she last saw her husband
alive when she showed signs Of fainting
Twice she tainted within half an hour and
before she had been on the stand one hour
she became so overcome with grief that the
session OF court was suddenly brought to a
close by the most touching scene witnessed
since the trial began. The prisoner who
stands charged with killing her husband, and
who has been already sentenced to nine
years Imprisonment for his murderous as
saut upon the witness, soon after the dis
appearance Of her husband sits in court
about fifteen feet from the witness.
Before the close of the session OF the court
and after the witness had recovered twice
from fainting spells and the cross-examina-
ton was resumed and another question was
asked. she suddenly seemed to lose all con-
seriousness, and began to cry out in a loud
tone of voice: Hell kill me; he'll kill me-
She seemed to imagine that the prisoner was
after her. Her cries caused much weeping
al over the crowded court house, as she was
carried away from the presence of the pris-
oner and out of the court room.
A consultation of the physicians was then
had, which resulted in the court announcing
recess until Saturday morning at 9:30 The
feeling against the prisoner IS becoming in
tense.
