nerves OF the parts and make matters
"otse IA the long run. But it is done
Solely by It's remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
ana while it thus gives immediate
relief at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
is rapidly accomplished.
And the point Vie want to make clear
is that all this is done without a
particle Of pain.
rms faet is one reason for tne great
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure
ana constitutes one very great differ
ence between it ana almost any other
kind of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
eEdangering the life Of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and it's mer-
its recognized by TOO many people to
allow it to be classad with the many
salves, suppositories, pills, etc, and
YOU run no risk Ii trying it, as is
often the case with new and untried
preparations.
Ii you are ever troubled with any
form Of piles or rectal disease do not

CONDITION OF THE FRUIT CROP.

The recent cold snap was not so hard
on the fruit as some people supposed,
says the Bellaire Tribune One of the
largest fruit growers in Eastern Ohio,
in speaking of it says: The peaches
are somewhat injured, especially on
the western side, where the cold winds
had the greatest effect, but will not
materially reduce the crop, as there is
evidence of an enormous bloom, much
above the ordinary, and few injured
buds will be more of a benefit than
detriment. Plums are not much injur
ed with the exceptions Of the Abund-
ance variety, which is almost entirely
destroyed Cherries are not hurt, even
earlier varieties having come through
all right Apricots are entirely de-
stroyed but as this fruit is in the
hands of only a few growers in this
section. the loss is not materially felt.
There is an excellent prospect for an
abundance of all kinds Of fruit, apples
and pears not being injured in the
least"

TIE GRAHPlS' EXPLOSION.
Early In the Century on the MiSsis-

The Explosion Of Six Boilers Total
" Wrecked the Eoat and Caused
a Heavy Loss of Life-The Pro-
babe Cause.-The Collision OF the
Towboat Hercules and the Big
Ermon.

One Of the most remarkable river
accidents on record is that which bafell
the steamer Grampus On the 18th day
OF August, 1928, on account CT the eX-
tensiye wreck which was made Of her
machinery.
When the explosion occurred the
boat was engaged in towing three
briss and sloop up the Mississippi
river TO New Orleans and had reached
a point nine. miles from that city. The
beat had six boilers, all Of which were
blown to minute fragments. The same
complete destruction was made of the
nues and various other parts Of the
steam apparatus and the boat itself as
an eye witness reports, was completely
torn to pieces.
captain Morrison and a passenger
named Wederstrand were sitting near
tne wheel at the time of the explosion.
Both were blown to part of

THE CAUSE
Of the explosion as was stated BY pas
sengers who escaped is as follows;
The chief engineer turned in, leav-
ing his assistant in charge The as
sistant, it is supposed, went to sleep
at his post, partially shutting off the
water The consequence was a def
cheney Of water in the boilers, and it is
supposed that after the assistant had
opened his eyes from slumber he dis
cerned that the water in the boilers
was exhausted Ignorantly or impru-
IDENTIFY he put the force pumps in oper-
alton to furnish a supply. At this
time the iron must have acquired a
white heat and the contact Of the wa
ter produced such an excess OF steam
that the explosion naturally followed,

BRITISH INFLUENCE FEARED
IF THE SPANISH-AMERICAN COMMITS
SION MEETS IN LONDON.
English Public Feeling I'm Favor of
the United States Retaining the
PhiIippines-PrOspe Prizes.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3-An interesting
the administration, is the attitude to be
assumed by the United States towards the
Philippine insurgents in the event that we
reach agreement for the suspension of
hoStilitieS with Spain. 1t is stipulated in
our peace terms that the United States mill
itary forces shall occupy and establish a
military form of government over the city
of Manila and the bay with the surround
ing territory. This involves an immediate
surrender of the Spanish forces, not to
Aguinaldo, but to General Merritt, and
there is some apprehension that the insur-
gents will resent this very bitterly, and that
it will be necessary to eXpel them forcibly
from the territory desired. Beyond this, it
is said in some quarters that, pending the
decision of the peace commissioners as to
the future of the Philippines the United
States will be morally bound to maintain
the status quo in the islands at large. In
other words, having deprived Spain of the
means of resisting the onslaughts of the in
surgents, it has been urged that the United
States would be bound to prevent the latter
from continuing their warfare.
There is lack of information in WASH
ington on many important points as to the
conditions in the Philippines For instance,
it is not known even approximately how
extensive the revolutionary movement has
been throughout the vast group of 100
islands and among the large population,
estimated to aggregate between 100000 and
100000. If the revolutionary movement is
general and extends to very many of the
islands the task presented to the United
States military and naval authorities will
hat
it is decided to be incumbent on us not to
restore Spanish sovereignty where it has
been lost but to prevent it's overthrow in
sections where it is still supreme and to
prevent excuses and outrages at the hands
of the INSURGENTS.

CAPTURED BY CUBANS.
Spanisrds Forced to Raise the White
Flag Over the Town of GibOra.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 3.-Capt. Delvalley
Agnacio of the insurgent forces, was
brought here this morning by the gunboat
Helena, which took him aboard near Tunoz
do Zaso, on the south coast of Cuba, on
July Is. He reported that on July Gen.
Miguel Gomez (under whom he served in
the Sancti Spiritus district of the province
of Santa Clara attacked the town of Gibora
with five hundred men, and after two hours
fighting compelled the Spaniards to raise
the white flag. Three dynamite shells from
the Syms-Dudley gun, he says, tore big
holes in the walls of the town, killed nine
Spaniards and wounded twelve. On hundred
and sixteen prisoners were taken, and the
town is held by the Cubans. The Cuban
loss was one killed and three wounded.
When Captain Ignacio left General Gomez
was making plans to attack the trocha and
restore communication between the eastern
and western provinces.
The Helena, which has been on blockade
duty for nearly a month, sank a number of
harbor tugs and lighters at Casilda last
week. and sent one little tug, the Manatoe,
which surrendered in preference to being
sunk, to Guantanamo bay.

THE PHILIPPINES SITUATION.
Army of 10000 Needed to Properly
Gnrriann the IaIanda


NEW YORK. Aug. 8. = The Tribunes
Washington correspondent, discussing the
peace negotiations and the Philippine ques-
ton, says there is grave apprehension in
administration circles that Spain may stub
bornly resist the suggestion of a commits
sion, taking advantage of the exceedingly
embarrassing situation which confronts
General Merritt through the officiousness
of the insurgent chieftain, Auguinaldo. Ac-
cording to all accounts, this young mans
success has completely turned his head and
the influence which he exerts over several
hundred semi-cvilized or almost barbarous
warriors presents a serious compiled ton.
which is causing the authorities here no end
of worry and no little alarm. The condi-
tons which affect the comparatively small
forces under General Merritt's command
between Cavite and Manila are shown by
official reports to be even more dangerous
than intimated in press dispatches, and the
administration is gratfied to see that most
of the influential newspapers of the country
have come to appreciate some of the re-
sponsibiities which would be imposed on
the government if the United States found
it necessary to take permanent possession
of the archipelago.

cred by the military and naval authorities

The postal authorities are encollntering
much difficulty in delivering mails for the
soldiers. The changes of troops have been
so constant and rapid that there is a vast
and overwhelming accumulation OF letters
and newspapers at Santiago.
All letters. postal cards. and first-class

there must necessarily be some delay until
the system devised by the postmaster gem
eral has been fully established. All of the

these contributions.
The postal officials at Santiago find It nee
essary now to burn about five tons of Sec

mense amount Of mail which goes to the
front may be gained by the fact that nearly
two bags of mail were received to-day at
