a case in point is that Of Frank R

He visited with his friends and then
came to Topeka to see the master me-

securing his position again. The first
person he found was G. A Hancock,
assistant superintendent of machinery.
Mr.. Clark said: 4 never met with bet

given me by Mr.. Hancock. He looked
questions about my conduct While IN

from my captain giving me a good

he wrote me a note to c. NJ Taylor,
division master mechanic at Ration,
asking him to put me at work at once
and furnished me with transportation

A MAN CAN'T WORK
WHEN HE IS SUFFERING WITH PILES
He Can't Eat, Sleep, Can't Get Comfort
Any Way But one-Pyramid Pile Cure
Will Cure Him, Give Relief at Once.

Will Cure Him, Give Relief at Once.
Just a little pain may so distract a
mans mind that it will cost him hun
dreds of dollars. Life is a battle. To
succeed one needs all his energies and
all his brain force to apply to the ques-
ton al hand. Even a corn will make
him irritable cross, angry-and an
angry man seldom succeeds The trifi-
ing pain of a corn is a pleasant feeling
besides the agOnizing ache of piles.
That is a pain which seems to prevade
the whole body. It communicates itself
and brings on a heavy dragging feeling
in the perineum. Those who have never
so suffered do not know what it means
1t racks the nerves, prevents sleep, pre-
vents concentrated thought and makes
a man lose flesh as fast as he would
with a virulent fever.
And yet piles are looked upon as a
little thing. They are neglected-aIIOW-
ed TO run on from month to month and
year to year. By and by comes a surgi-
cal operation. Maybe it cures-maybe
it kills.
There is only one sure safe and quick
cure for piles. It is the Pyramid Pile
Cure. It is a recent discovery and its
properties are such that it cleanses,
sooths and heals the infiammed parts,
reduces the Inflammation at once and
with continued treatment. removes all
swelling and all trace of the disease.
1t puts the membranes in a healthy.
active condition and cures completely
and permanently.
From c. F. Collins, Garrett: 'I COM
menced using the Pyramid Pile Cure
and my case was so bad I thought the
remedy was going to tail in my case,
but before I had used two-thirds of one
package began to feel much better
and can honestly say I am entirely
cured. It is the quickest and surest
remedy have ever heard of.
From Josiah Roberts, Port Dram, N.
J., Just one-quarter of a package of
the Pyramid Pile cure did wonders for
me and I have lost no opportunity of
recommending such great remedy"
From VIM. McHale, Rockport, Mass:
ssOne package of Pyramid Pile Cure
has helped me more than anything I
have yet used"

That City Expects the Mo- Pacific to
Make Tt a Freight Division.

Atchison, Oct. 6-There is a report on
the streets today to the effect that the
Missouri Pacific has issued the order
making Atchison a freight division Of
the road, and that the order will go in
to effect tomorrow. Superintendent
Rathburu is out of town, but E. o. Man,
division superintendent of the road,
says he has not been notified of such an
order Owing to the level grade along
the Missouri river an engine can haul
almost twice as many cars in AtchisOn
from the south as the same engine can
haul out of AtchisOn going north For
this reason all freight trains require al
teratiOn here. AtchisOn is the natural
place for the end of a division, as the
railroad leaves the water grade here and
strikes the bluffs.
