As the time is not far distant when
the Democratic Executive Committee for
the Tenth Congressional District will call
a convention 10 nominate a candidate for
Congress. IL is very important TO select
a place Of meeting most convenient and
satisfactory TO all candidates and their
friends. With this end in view, we urge
upon our COMMITTEES the claims Of tho
Young city Of Buena Vista, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
il is I'm the centre Of the district; more
accessible than any other point having

apeake and Ohio railroads running
through tho city; It is neutral ground.
having no candidate in the field, has
ample accommodations, with its three
urst-class hotels. for delegates and
others. and has a large opera-house,
amply sufficient TO hold the convention.
We submit that no other place in the
district has the advantages that we Offer
whilst not one valid objection can be
raised against IL. consistent with the
principle Of equal rights to all. special
privileges to none"
Clifton Forge. Amherst Courthouse,
Buchanan. Stanton, and Lexington nave
an had conventions, and we ask the bom-
mittee TO give US the privilege Of enter
tanning the convention, and forestali any
cry that might be raised as 10 the Loca-
lion being chosen in the interest OF any
candidate. Our city has never let INC
democratic banner trail in the dust ana

The Midday Lenten Service.

Rev. u. T. Sweeney was greeted yes
terday at 1905 east Main street by an
audience of men which taxed the seating
capacity of the house TO its fullest ex-
tent. and seldom is closer attention paid
a speaker.
Mr.. Sweeney delivered a mastery argu-
ment on the Realty of the God-Head."
He said that if Christianity was true.
IL must stand the test of criticism. The
present age demanded proofs and sought
the fundamental reason of all things.
He boldly asserted that Christianity
would stand all the tests which might
be applied to it, and proceeded in clear
and forcible style TO show that reasoning
from all Of the generally accepted phi
losophical conceptions of 'higher
mower" that they all ultimately har-
monized with the Christians God. who
was a being of independent wisdom,
power, and goodness.
The Rev. f. II. Rawlings will conduct
the services to-day.

A healthy baby is the real Jewel for which
the wedding ring is only the setting.
There is no place in Natures economy for
a childless marriage. Welded couples that
are childless are never truly married. A
baby Is the tie that binds. The baby Is the
pledge that makes husband and wife one in

couples are childless because of the wife's
neglect Of her health as woman. Too few

DOING GOOD EVERY wHEp.E.
A Medical Discovery That EncctuaiIy
Cures PILES I'm Every Form.

For many years physicians have ex-
pcrimented in vain. seeking a remedy
which would effecually cure plies and
other rectal troubles. without resortlng
10 a surgical operation. Many remedies
were found to give temporary relief. but
none could be depended upon to make a
lasting. satisfactory cure
Within recent period. however. a
new remedy. the Pyramid Pile Cure. has
been repeatedly tested In hundreds of
cases and with highly satisfactory re-
salts.
The first effect Of the Pyramid Pile
cure Is TO Instantly remove the pain and
irritation generally present. and from
mat time on the cure rapiuIy progresses.

seems to act directly on the nerves and
blood vessels Of the parts affected as 1t
comes into direct contact with them and
sets up healthy action. which, in a per-
feCtly natural way. brings the PARTS 10
their normal condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or inconvenience 10 the sufferer, and
Is justly considered one of the most me-
litorious discoveries OF modern medicine.

often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. II neglected

equally fatal or incurabie trouble. where
as. by the timely use OF this simple. but
effective, remedy no one need suffer a
single day from any form Of piles unless
they want TO.
Tho Pyramid Pile Cure Is perfectly
harmless. containing no mineral pOisons
and is also very reasonable I'm price
costing but 30 cents package. 1t is sold
in drugstOres everywhere. The manufac-
turers OF the remedy are the Pyramid
Drug Company. of Marshall. Mich. who
