YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
BY Internal Remedies.

The only way to cure piles in every form
is TO use a remedy like the Pyramid Pile
Cure which is applied directly to the parts
affected and its wonderful healing effects
are felt on the first application because the
medical properties are rapidly absorbed by
the sensitive membranes of the rectum and
the cure is speedily made and almost be-
fore the patient is aware of it, every trace
of piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid Pile
Cure has been so successful. 1t is applied
directly where it is needed and where il will
do the most good. Not by the roundabout
way Of the stomach nor by the harsh, bar
barous methods of various surgical opera
ticns and so called systems
ia advantages over all other pile cures are
these 1t cures without pain. the cure Is
lasting, IL contains no poison and Is the
quickest and cheapest cure yet found IT Is
made by the Pyramid Drug Co, of Marshal,
Mich, and sold by all druggists at one dol
lar per package.

La Grippe shows no favor in the selec-
ton of it's victims. When it finds the vital
ity of the system lowered, the nerve force
weakened and the resistive power destroyed
it gains an entrance into the system. Keep

THE LAW TOO CUMBERSOME.
Indiana Needs Better System of Col
lecting the Returns.


There has been considerable protest heard
on all sides from members of both
parties over the cumbersome method
of conducting elections in this State,
in comparison with those adopted by
other States. The canvassing board
will not meet until to-day and the
contention by people interested in politics
is that as the inspector of elections
in every precinct is authorized and COM
PEELED to carry the precinct papers around
with him until the board meets the present
system offers too many opportunities for
fraud and should be remedied at once. .
The present method aside from being UNI
satisfactory in this respect is too slow for
the present times when the systems in prae-
tice in other States are considered. Instead
of waiting as the people of Indiana do for
nearly a week for full knowledge of how
the State and county voted, it is felt that
some new and practicable idea should be
put into practice to place this State ON an
equal footing with other States of it's class.
In New York, by the system of hourly
counting, it is possible to know what the re-
suit of the election is in a few hours after
the polls close. The papers go directly
from the ballot boxes to the canvassing
boards and thereby the chance of fraud is
IeSSeneu TO a large degree.
Ohio is even better off in this respect. In
that State each precinct is supplied with a
messenger service and as soon as the vote
is counted 1t is sent at once to the can
wasting board.
A new voting machine was on exhibition
in the Cyclorama building Tuesday in
room beside the regular polling place ana
attracted considerable attention. In the
regular voting place 235 votes were cast and
it was nearly 2 o'clock yesterday morning
when the result was announced under the
present system. In the room where the
machine was in operation $50 buresque
votes were cast and the result was known in
a few minutes after the polls closed.

The damp depression of the day forced its

so many ward workers during the last few

THE TOWNSHIP OFFICERs.
Canvassers Only Completed Four
Wards.

The canvassing of the vote on justices of
the peace and constables progressed slowly
in Township Trustee Makepeace's office
yesterday. There was evidently confusion
among the election officials as to where the
tally sheets should be taken. The result was
that when the board quit working at 10
o'clock last night reports on but seven
wards were complete. Sixteen precincts
were still out. The work will begin again
at o'clock this morning, and it is desired
that all the tally sheets still out shall be
brought to the township trustees office as
soon as possible. The whole Republican
township ticket was elected. Last night
four wards were footed up-the First Sec
ond Fourth and Fifth--and the result of the
vote for justices of the peace is printed be-
low with the exception of the vote on Shep-

were prepared by voters. In each instance
the voter had improperly marked the ballot
