IS II CURABLEs
Question Often Asked By
Those Afflicted With Piles.


Is a strained joint curable2 Is
locai inflammation durable? OF course,
if properly treated. So is piles.
People become afflicted with piles
and ask some old "ehronic'' who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment and naturally he discour-
ages them by telling them that their
case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others,
and thus disease tlrat can in every
case be cured by careful and skilful
handling is allowed to sap the ener-
" of thousands who might free
themselves of the trouble in a few
days.
Pyramid Pile Cnre will cure the
most aggravated case of hemorrhoids
in an astonishingly short time. 1t
relieves the congested parts, re-
lluces the tumors instantly no mat
ter how large, allays the inflammation
and slopes the aching or itching at
once.
Thousands who have resorted to
expensive surgical treatment have
been cured by the Pyramid Pile
Cure-in a number of instances per-
sons who had spent months IN
hospital under pile specialist.
1t is remedy that none need fear
to apply even to the most aggravat-
ed, swollen and infamed henior-
rhoidal tumors
Ifyou are afflicted with this stub
born disease you can master it and
master it quickly.
This remedy is no longer an ex-
pertinent, but medical certainty.

G. T. StearnS.

Mr.. J. G. Munro, the historian of the
local Masonic fraternity. has just re-
ceived a picture and brief biography of
G. T. Stearns, the man after whom this
county was named, and one of the pio-
neers of Minnesota, for which he has
been searching for a long time, says
the St. Cloud Times. 1t is of peculiar
interest to the Masons, because Mr..
Stearns is the last survivor of the
founders of the Grand Lodge of Mime
sofa in 1853. Mr.. Stearns was born
in Pittsfeld, Jan. 9. 1909. Raised a
Master Mason April 3, 1855, in Cat
aract Lodge u. D., of Illinois: now No.
2, of Minnesota. The portrait which
Mr.. Munro received was taken at the
age of 81. MIR. Stearns was interested
in the townsite of st. Cloud, and the
Stearns House was named after him.
He was a member of the territorial
legislature. and one of the builders of
Fort Ripley. Mr.. Stearns now resides
at New Orleans. Although 81 years
old, and having about a year a ago
sustained q stroke of paralysis, he is
said to be still in possession of all his

Will visit St. Cloud.

At Minneapolis, while the Minneso ta
Editorial Association was there last
week, a meeting of the Northwestern
Editorial Association was held. This
organization includes the editors of
the Seventh and part of the Sixth Con-
gressional districts. It was decided to
visit the new town of Walker, on Leech
Lake, for the annual outing. There is
a good hotel at Walker, and the lake
affords every opportunity for an en-
'joyable season of .rustication on the
very confines of frontier settlement.
1t was further decided to rendezvous
at St. Cloud, and spend an afternoon,
night, and following forenoon here
leaving on the N. P. at II a. m. for
Walker. The St. Cloud editors and
citizens will entertain the editors and
ladies during their stay. No prog ram
has been even talked of, but there will
be a visit to the Reformatory; to the
Normal School, if in session at the
time; an evening at the Opera House,
probably followed by a ''smoke So
cial."
There will probably be fifty in the
party. The date will not be fixed I'M

The PAY Train.

The ''Pay Train attracted a large
audience at the Grand Opera house on
Monday night. The play is all that it
is represented to be and the people are
all artists who int: pref it. The stage
settings are fine-the best ever brought
to this city-and the mechanical and
scenic effects were quite wonderful and
very realistic. The audience certainly
appreciated the play if the applause
was any criterion. J. T. McAlpin
and Dolly Foster, the stars of the
company, are stars of the first magni-
tude and are whole entertainment
of themselves. The whole thing is
sensational, exciting, startling and
funny and holds the attention of the
audience from beginning to end. The
company goes from here to Fargo and
returns on it's way to the southern
part Of the Nsthte. BY request it will
stop here and play return date of the
same drama with entirely new spec
ialties on Tuesday evening, March
1st, and we do not hesitate in saying
that there will not be a vacant seat in
the house. Prices will be the same as
on Monday night.

A silver Wedding.

A late San Jose, Cal. paper contains
the following item regarding a former
Sank Centre resident: The silver we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. D. M. Farr was
celebrated at their home on Madison
street last evening, it being their
twenty-fifth marriage anniversary. A
goOdly number of relatives and friends
planned a surprise and at 8 o'clock
when the door bell rang and in marched
the gay and happy crowd it was APP
parent that indeed it was genuine sur
prise. But Mr.. and Mrs. Farr are
just the people to enjoy such a surprise.
In a neat little speech by Or. Adams,
congratulating the happy couple on
attaining their twenty-ffth marriage
milestone and wishing them continued
marriage bliss on behalf of those pre-
sent, he presented a beautiful and
richly engraved silver tea set; also a
number of other valuable presents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farr, approaching the
spirit in which it was given, replied by
assuring us it was one of their happiest
social events: Among the guests pres
ent were Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Mott, we'll

We mean he can cure himself right

medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to the Liver and

tonic. It cures Constipation, Head

system to it's natural vigor. Try Elec-

Just what Ia Needed.

The detachable heel to the Kentucky
Drill meets want which has long been
felt. Other shoe wear very rapidly.
and as they wear enormously increase
the draft of the drill, and diminish
the quality of the work. 1t has been
an expensive item in keeping drill in
order to provide new shoes: Now the
Kentucky Drill people have patented a
shoe which not only does not wear as
rapidly, but when worn is cheaply,
quickly and effectively replaced. A
solid piece of steel, pressed into the
desired shape, is fitted into the shoe
and does the work. This piece can be
detached and sharpened very quickly,
and when badly worn can be replaced
with q new one for q few cents. Not
only in the matter of economy OF money
but much more in time, is effected.
The detachable heel belongs exclusive
ly to the Kentucky Drill, which is sold
by w. S. Dean & Co., in this market.
To be convinced of it's superior merit
drop into the Office of Mr.. Dean and
see it for yourself. It is one OF the
notable improvements OF the day.
