MILES AND MERRITT.

The Kansas City Journal is fast
maiT' paper. A fast mail paper is the
edition of publication that goes to press
before it has received any news. The
telegraph news of a fast mail paper
reads like the revived memory of some
thing half forgotten, while its editor

Kansas City Journal, OF the st. Louis
Globe Democrat and of the Kansas
A comparison of any one of the fast
mail editions of either of these papers
with the Eagle, or with any other full
Associated Press paper, or even with
their own regular editions, will prove
convincing. The fast mail edition of
the Kansas City Journal contains a
review Of an editorial appearing some
time since in the Eagle criticising Ma

OF course our government has made
no overtures Of peace, as intimated, but
Spain has correctly guessed the terms
We would probably make. namely. the
independence Of Cuba, the possession
of Porto Rico by this government and
the establishment of naval and coaling

A NEW JUDGE.

Senator Baker has introduced bill
into the United States senate providing
for an additional federal judge for
Kansas. The truth IS, the federal bust
ness is behind and but for Topekas
political pull, a new district would
have been created which would have
supplied the necessary extra judge
Topeka and her satellites howIed that
Judge Foster needed no help, that one
judge was enough, and so forth. Ev-
everybody in Kansas knew different
but not so at Washington, and the bill
was defeated. Now the necessity for
the bill mentioned. A number of men
have been mentioned in connection
with the new judgeship. OF course
Topeka will endeavor to furnish him.
We have not seen the name of Judge
Ben Simpson of Miami mentioned.

marked ability and satisfaction?

It is not only intensely painful. dan-
gerous TO lie and very expensive, but
In the light OF modern medical research.
and since the discovery of the Pyramid
Pile Cure q surgical operation Is wholly
unnecessary. II you have any doubt on
the point kindly read the following LEI
tiers from people who know that our
claims regarding the merits OF the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure are borne out by the
facts.
From n. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Mag
ara Co., n. y: I received your Pyrn-
mid Pile Cure and tested Il last night.
It did me more sood than anything I
have eve found yet, ard remember this
was the result Of one nights treatment
only.
From Penn W. Arrett. BatesvIlle,
Ark: Gentlemen:-Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done me SO much good in so
short a time that my son-in-law, Capt.
T. J. Klein, OF Fort Smith, Ark, has
written me for your address, as he
wishes to try 1t also.
From A. E. Townsend, Benville, Ind:
I have been SO much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that I erciose 81 for
which please seEd me q package which
I wish to give TO a friend OF mine who
suffers very much from piles.
From John H, Wright. Clinton, De
Witt Co.. Ills: I am SO well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that I think
It but right to drop you a few lines to
inform you its effects have been all that
I could ask or wish.
From P. A. Bruton. Llano. Tex: Gem
tlemen:-The Pyramid Pile Cure has
done 50 much good for me that I win
say for the benefit Of others that after
using only two days I am better than I
have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared by
The Pyramid Drug Co.. OF Marshall,
Mich. and It Is truly q wonderful rem
edy for all forms Of piles. So great has
been the number Of testimonial letters
received by them from all parts of the
country that they have decided to pub
lIsh each week q number OF such letters.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. as they know from what
their customers say that no remedy
gives such general satisfaction.
