PLAGUE OF TEE MIGHT
Itching Piles and other Rectal Trou
bles Easily Cured by New
and Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncontroll-
able itching in parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure. not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind bleeding
or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for a short time causes a perma-
nent removal of the tumors of the
small parasites which cause the intense
itching and discomfort of itching piles
Many physicians for a long time SUD-
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
came opium or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful anal
ysis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cOcane, opium
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extern
SlNely recommended Dy PHYSICIANS De-
cause it is SO safe, 50 prompt in the re-
lief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall
Mich, for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles

CHANCE FOR ARTISTS.
Pictures of All the District Court
Judges to be Made.

The pictures of all the judges who have
presided over the Shawnee county dis
trict court will soon adorn the walls of
the court room. A committee consisting
of James A Troutman, ]. B. Furry and
George Whitcomb was selected to make a
contract with some artist to paint the
portraits.
The ex-judges of the district court are
Judge Stafford, Judge Gilchrist, Judge Nor
ton, Judge Martin and Judge Guthrie
Judge Hazen, who is on the bench,
is included in the list.
Judge Morton's portrait, an excellent oil
painting, is already the wall, so it will
be necessary to secure but five. Artist
George Stone presented a proposition to
paint the pictures at 500 each. but whether
the pictures are to be crayon or oil was
left to the committee.

DOGS FOR KLONDIKE.
Exporters Said to Be Gathering Up
CANNES in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 11-Owners of vaIua-
BILE dogs in Chicago are advised by the
police to keep them within doors De
tectives at Central station say they
have proof that within a month a car
load of CANNES was shipped from Chi
cago to the Pacific coast. 1t is said from
there the animals are sent to the Klon-
dixie
Those engaged in the business of ex-
porting dogs to the gold country do not
care for animals Weighing much less
than 40 pounds.
st. Demands and Newfoundland are
among the breeds most sought after,
as they are the best adapted to stand
the climate and the work required. The
police say their inforrner told them that
a dog of the required weight and in
good health would easily bring in the
KIondil1e $50 or 500.

AND STILL THEY RESIGN.
Another Whack at Justice Fees Point
ed Out by I. G. BOYLE.

The last hope of the justices Of the
peace is dissipated by a decision just
made by Attorney General Boyle. 1t
has been thought that through an
omission the justices would be allowed
to charge the old fees of 25 cents each
for issuing warrants, summons and
subpoen IS. Mott inE is said in the law
about fees for issuing these papers.
Attorney General BOyle's decision
which has been received by Justice Guy
is as follows:
January 6, 1898.
John L. Guy Esq, Justice of the Peace,
Dear Sir: Your letter of December
p, 1897, relative to compensation of jus
tees of the peace under the new law
governing fees and salaries is received
The provisions Of the act in question
for justice fees seem to have been made
after a rather skinny pattern pos
sibly more economically than the legis-
Iature intended to make it. There is
no provision whatever for compensa-
ton for issuing summons, warrant,
subpoena or other process by justices
of the peace. and yet the law declares
that justices of the peace in their re-
SpecttVe Jurisdictions shall receive the
fees therein set out. and no more.
Language could hardly be made more
explicit It's construction cannot as
far as can see, be doubtful. 1t is
more explicit in regard to the compen-
satiOn of justices than of any other Of
hcials named in the act. 1 do not see
how any room can possibly be made for
the application of the law of 1885 to
supply a seeming omission in the new
law, as suggested in your letter Al
though no conflict may appear between
the provisions of the two acts. the plain
affirmation of the new law that justices
shall receive no fees not therein speci-
fed absolutely cuts off, in my opinion.
all other allowances of fees under anv
statutes whatever
Very truly yours,
L. G. BOYLE
Attorney General

SHIPPED BEFORE DEATH.
Injured Miner Sent From Hospital in
Ice Box While Alive.

shamokin, Pa, Jan 1.-Intense excite
ment prevails at Excelsior, a small min
ing hamlet near here, over the assertion
of Postmaster G1owa and other residents,
to the effect that Lucas Homiak an in
jured mine worker, had been shipped from
the miners hospital at Ashland in an
ice box before he was dead.
The signers of the affidavit swear that
when they opened the ice box at Homiaks
home his toes twitched violently, his body
was still warm and they could feel the
moisture Of his breath on their hands.
They admit that he did not recover con-
seriousness, but declare that he lived for
five minutes after the box had been open

STEALS FROM GRAVES.
Girl Sent to Jail For Taking Ribbons
From Floral Offerings.

New York, Jan. 11-Nellie Mcconnell
was arrested today for stealing ribbons
from floral offerings in Greenwood Gem
etery.
It is estimated that she has taken
about S25 worth. 1t is customary for
fashionable florists to garnish their
bouquets, harps, Tyres, broken columns,
anchors and other floral devices with
long streamers of broad ribbon of the
richest silks and satins Such ribbons
are expensive and very often they are
left to decay in the sodden atmosphere
of a graveyard.
Nellie Mcconnell thought this was a
pity, she said today after her arrest,
by way of explanation, for she declared
that she had no real intention of steal
ing.
and because ribbons had been missing
from graves for some time, presumably
through Nellie's stealing, she was given
60 days in the county jail.

Duluth Miners Will Return as Soon

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE $50
miners and their families that left Du-
luth to work in the mines in COrralitOS,
Mexico, are greatly dissatisfied, and
wish themselves back in northern Min
nesOta.
A letter from Andrew Johnson, one
of the number, says that no prepara-
ton was made for their reception, and
they all had to slep the night of their
arrival on the floor of a store room,
without mattresses or covers A num-
Der of the women were ILL., All of them
will return as soon as they can earn
enough money to get back
The increased wages, Johnson says,
do not begin to compensate for increas-

Senator CulIOn, who has always been
a friend of Cuba, says: L am not
surprised to learn that Secretary Sher-
man admits that the people are not
responding to calls for aid with alac-
rity and with their usual generosity.
To my mind the people are getting tired
of the Cuban question. Why? Be
cause the government has been so mac
tive in dealing with Spanish affairs in
Cuba. that the people are disguised
Inactive is a mild a term as can use
Yes, their patience is worn They feel
that the government is not going to DO
anything. They feel that the govern
ment long since should have inter-
fered. 1t should be remembered that
the United States has just passed
through four years of industrial de-
preston and that its resources have
been very much depleted. We have
also during these four years which
have passed had our own poor and
starving to care for, which has largely
drawn from our available resources
Congressman Hit, chairman of the
foreign relation committee said;
CONGRESS, by legislative limitations,
cannot impose taxes for the aid of the
poor in another country. 1t may do
nate such ships as may not be needed
for other purposes. This is as far as
the strong arm of our government may
reach. I do not think congress viii
be likely to take any steps upon the
the question of interfering to end the
system that produces such sad results.
He that taketh the sword shall perish
by the sword is according to the Scrip
lures
There is a growing feeling here that
it is a question eff a short time now
when the United States will be asked
to establish a prOtectOrate over the is
land with the view of giving the insur-
gents an opportunity to negotiate for
the purchase of their entire independ-
ence.

Admiral Dewey when a boy tried to
whip the teacher of district school,
and got so pounded that he resigned
the enterprise; and when grown up he
went to the teacher and thanked him
for the pounding, adding that the
teacher had made man Of him. Per-
haps the ambitious school-boy of to-
day will profit by this example, but he
had better utter the apology first and
let the other part take its natural
course. Sill further, we are grieved to
learn that the admiral didn't begin life
by cutting down his papa's cherry-tree.
