THE SURGEONS KNIFE
ONCE BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY
CURE FOR PILES AND RECTAL
DISEASES.
A Better Way Now Discovered Which
Cures Every Form Of Piles
without Pain or Incon-
venience.

Many people suffer the pain, annoy
ance and other serious results from
piles, for years, and after trying the
many lotions. salves, ointments and
many so-called cures without cure or
relief, give up the hope of a final cure
rather than submit to the intense pain
and danger to life which n surgical op-
Grafton involves.
Happily all this suffering Is no longer
necessary since the discovery of the
Pyramid Pie Cure; a remedy which is
approved by the medical profession, as
being absolutely safe, free from any
trace of cpiates. narcotic or mineral
poisons and which may be depended
upon as a sure cure mot merely re-
lieO in any form OF piles, whether Itch
Ing blind, bleeding or protruding.
Some of the hundreds of cures recently
made are little short of marvellous, as
a perusal of the following will demon
strate.
Major Dean, of Columbus, Ohio, says:
/ wish to add to the number of certifi-
Gates as to the benefit derived from the
Pyramid Pile Cure. I suffered from
piles for forty years and from itching

James Jamerson, Dubuque, Iowa

years; have just used the Pyramid Pile

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

Messrs. Moon, Boylan, Colville, DIM
mock, Brennan and Hughes, the full
membership of the school board, were
present last night at a special meet
ing of that august body. The reading
Of the minutes of the previous meet
ing precipitateG d wordy discussion,
which lasted for some time. The
cause which lead to the discussion
was the reading of the motion for the
purpose of placing Thomas w. Lof-
tus and Ella Boland as teachers of
the eighth grade. The motion was
recorded by Secretary Brennan as be-
ing carried and afterward defeated by
Chairman Colville calling upon Mr..
Brennan for s. roll call uuon the mo-
zion. Upon the roll being called the
motion was lost through Mr.. DIM
ock's voting against it. Finally the
minutes were changed to suit the APP
proval of the chairman and were adopt
ed. The business of the evening was
opened by Mr.. James Boyd addressing
the board. He grieved at the fact that
a number of children living south of
the line of demarkation for Nos. I and
schools attended those institutions.
Several other persons We're present and
hardly as vociferous as Mr.. Boyd. Pro-
fessor Hockenbery addressed the board
in regard to receiving pupils from out
Of the school district, and attending
the city schools. This brought on a
discussion as TO the persons outside
paying for their tuition. Mr.. Boylan
made a motion that all pupils living
outside the city school district be re-
treasurer of the board in advance
Formerly the pupils paid the money
to the principal of the high school
and that gentleman turned il over ia
the treasurer. Mr.. Boylan's motion
was seconded by j. w. Dimock. Mr.
Brennan moved that the graduates be
admitted TO take I'D such studies as
they had not already passed previous
to graduating. Mr., Hughes seconded
the molten, which was carried. Pro-
fessor Hockenberry desired to have the
board grant him the privilege of using
his own grammar text book instead
of the one being used at present, Civ
ing his reason that the one in use is
entirely too long, At this juncture a
tilt occurred between Professors Col
Vile and Hockenberry Mr.. Hocken-
berry stated that the present course
which was the cause of Professor
Hockenberry's grammar being thrown
out, has never been legally adopted
Mr.. Colville was emphatic in his state
ments concerning the uselessness OF
Hockenberry's grammar. He said il
was not worth the paper it is printed
on as text book for the pupils. Mr.
Hockenberry made a statement in de-
fense of his grammar, in which he
embodied the fact that he believes
himself as good teacher of grammar
AS in the city. After a long discus.

For Hurried People.

Travellers usually want to get
there" in the shortest possible time,
and on journeys between Buffalo,
Cleveland, Toledo, Chicago, and all
western and southwestern points
should travel the Lake Shore railroad
to make the quickest time possible.
Its fast mail train leaving buffalo at
7.25 a, m, arriving in Chicago at $50
a. m, is we'll known among travellers
generally for it's speed and fine equip
ment. 1t runs fast days trains leaving
Buffalo at $40 and 9.35 a. m, arriving
In Chicago at s.45 and 1853 D. m. re-
spectively. Not only do you save time
by travelling over this route but you
will find its rates as low as any.

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The largest and most enthusiastic
crowd that ever assembled at Alumni
park to witness Il game of base ball
were there yesterday afternoon to see
the game between the Archibald and
Jcssup clubs for a purse of twenty-five
dollars and gate receipts. Griffin and
CoOney were the battery for JeSsup,
and their work was a mystery to the
Archibald boys. They could not locate
Griffin's ball at all until the eighth in
ming, and then very seldom. If Griffin
is an amateur pitcher, it would be a
sionals to get some pointers from him.
The battery for Archibald was Swift
and Flanagan. They did nice work,
but Jessup got onto them in the first
inning and kept hitting them all
through the game. But taken all
through it was one of the best games
ever played at the park. The score
was a tie, five each.
Patrick Connors, of the East Side,
