ADJUSTING INSURANCE.

Some of the insurance adjusters
have been in the city the past two
days, on the Model clothing house
loss, but no conclusion is apt to be
reached before next week, owing to
the fact that representatives of other
companies are detained at other
places adjusting fire losses. Among
those in the city yesterday and today
were Samuel E. Sprague, of Mime
apolis. representing the English
American Underwriters and the Lon
dyn & Lancashire Fire Insurance Co;
Howard DeMott, of Minneapolis, re.
presenting the Connecticut Fire ms.
Co; and Mr.. Miller, representing the
Merchants of Newark.

SMOKE ELESS COAL.
II Is Just as Important to the Govern.
ment as Somkeless Powder.

The suggestion that Congressman
Connell use his good offices to persuade
Uncle Sam that he should use anthra-
cite coal in his navy, has caused con-
siderable comment in this vicinity. The
natural inference is that it is Just as
important to have smokeless coal as
smokeless powder.
For instance, a man of war burning
hard coal would be able to sight an
enemy burning soft coal much sooner
than it could be sighted by that enemy
The time would be valuable in making
preparations for the attack. And fur
thermore, some slowgoing vessels of
an inferior fleet, burning hard coal,
would be enabled to steer clear of
swifter and more formidable vessels of
hostile nation, and thus choose their
own time and conditions for giving
battle. The advantages of anthracite
coal are so numerous and palpable that
the naval authorities should be readily
convinced

Building Burned for the Third
Time

At o'clock yesterday morning fire
was discovered in the store owned by
Mrs. Michael Walsh and occupied by
Merchant w. +. Davis. of Mayfield. 1t
seems that the fire originated on the
east side of the building In the dry
goods and grocery department. and
must have been burning FOR some time
before discovered. The interior of the
building was totally gutted and nothing
but fragments of the merchandise re-
main. The boot and shoe department
was not badly damaged. This Is
probably due 10 the William Walker

alarm Of fire. This is the third time

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
Safe and Effective in Every Form Of This
Common and Annoying Disease.

Many people suffer from piles, be-
cause after trying the many lotions,
salves and ointments without relief or
cure, have come to the conclusion that
q surgical operation is the only thing
left to try and rather than submit to
the shock and risk to life OF an opera
ton, prefer to suffer on. Fortunately
this is no longer necessary, the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, a new preparation cures
every form Of piles, without pain. in
convenience or detention from business.
1t is In the form of suppositories, cas-
lily applied, absolutely free from opium,
cocoaine, or any injurious substance,
whatever, and no matter how severe
the pain. gives instant relief, not by
deadening the nerves of the parts but
rather by its healing, soothing effect
upon the congested membranes.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
effective, the safest and most extern
sively sold of any Pile Cure that has
ever been placed before the public, and
this reputation has been secured by
reason of its extraordinary merit and
the reasonable price at which it Is sold,
all druggists selling it at 80 cents and
81 per package. and in many cases a
sirgle package has been sufficient
A person takes serious chances in ne
glecting a simple case of piles as the
trouble soon becomes deep seated and
chronic, and very frequently develops
into fatal incurable rectal diseases, like
tistula and rectal ulcers.
Any druggist will tell you the Pyra-
mid is the safest, most satisfactory
pile cure made.
The Pyramid Co Marshall, Mich
will send to any address treatise on
cause and cure of piles, also book OF
testimonials.
