DANGEROUS SURGERY

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles QEScl<,.
ly, PainlessIy, without Danger.

People go along for years suffering with
piles. They try this and that and the ottcf'
thing, from carrying a buckeye to getting
treatment from physician. They obtain
temporary relief, maybe. but they are never
quite cured. A little strain in lifting, exc
cessive fatigue, a little constipation or lite
tie diarrhoae and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much. but
they Danish sleep and appetite. No positions
is comfortable. There is intense local pain
and that dreadful feeling of weight in the
perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of tha
many salves on sale will afford temporary
relief. If the case is of long standing there
is only one speedy and sure remedy. 1t IL
Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light cases 10
is the safest thing to use. Other applica-
tons may cure and may not. Pyramid Cure
is always certain, always reliable always
brings comfort at once. Its prompt use
saves months OF severe suffering. In ex-
IRENE cases 1t will save surgical operations
and their attendant dangers and discom-
fcrts. 1t is better than knife. Will cure
easier, quicker and safer. Thousands have
used 1t. Thousands have been cured by 1t.
The cost is trifiing compared with what 10
does The price is 90 cents. Most anybody
would gladly pay SO to be rid of piles.
All druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure.

The history of 1.-The Dead Heart" has
been an interesting one, and has brought
into conflict many people of whom the
world knows much, Charles Dickens, Tom
Taylor and Nine. Celeste ranging one side
against the author, Phillips, and his man
ager, the famed Benjamin Webster. 1t was
all on a charge of plagiarism of t)ckens's
"a Tale of Two Cities" which appeared in
April, 1859. On the 18th OF November of
the same year THE Dead Heart was pro-
duced, and at once the similarity was no
ticed in the sacrifice made by each of the
heroes, who offers up his own life to save
friend. Nine. Celeste, revolving from her
associate manager, Webster. of the Adelphl

January. 1860, Tom Taylor's ingenious adap-
tation Of "A Tale of Two Cities" Undoubt-
eddy the force Of surface evidence was
against Phillips, who had written his play
three years and four months before the first
installment of 1.-THE Tale of Two Cities"
appeared. A letter of Phillips, dated 1857
establishes the fact. Wearied with the Ge-
lay Of bringing II out he sought to buy
back his drama from the theatrical man
ager. The reason Of the delay was that
ABOUT three years before Webster received
Boucicaults "Genevieve." OF The Reign of
Terror, in which the chivarous hero sac
rlhceS MS life to save that of a friend. The
early repetition of this scene in another
pay struck the manager as false move to
make He waited for the public to forget
,,Ssienevieve. Yet neither Dickens nor
Phillips can DE accused of stealing from
Boucicault, since Bouccault's play was only
an adaptation of the revolutionary play of
Dumas. LIE Chevalier de la Maison
Rouge produced in Paris Aug. 3, 1877.
While as for Dumas, it can be said that
nearly five years before, in January, 1872
had appeared Lord Lytton's romance of
'Zanoni," in which the hero, during the
reign of terror, lay down the gift of per-
petual youth and immortal life to save the
woman he loves from the guillotine. Dick
ems never admitted any further copying"
in his book than that he owed one of his
ideas to Wilkie Collins's play Of THE Fro
zen Deep, in which he had acted with
congedal band of amateurs Yet there was
bad blood stirred up On both sides, and the
contest was fought out in the theater and
in the press, with no decision, however that
eyer satisfied all parties THE Dead
Heart was more pronounced success
than the Tale of Two Cities on the stage.

SIXTEEN SHOTS FIRED.
Mayor and Another Man MOrtally
Wounded and Boy Badly Hurt.

GEORGETOWN, O., march ia shoot
Ing affray occurred at Higginsport, a viii
lage a few miles south of this place last
night, which will result in the taking Of two
lives. Mayor Halfhill met John Donald and
the latter's son in front of Thomas's saloon
about 10 o'clock and, without a word and
almost instantly, the three men drew re-
volvers and began shooting at each other!
Sixteen shots were fired and when the
smoke cleared away Halfhill and the senior
Donald were found lying on the ground
mortally wounded, while young Donald had
been shot several times. The trouble was OF
long standing and it has been expected to
take place when the parties first met. Half
hill cannot possibly recover, having two
wounds which pass entirely through the
body and another in the head, while Donald
sinks lower each hour. Young Donald
turned himself over to the sheriff and was
brought to this place and lodged in Jail. The
mayor had recently inaugurated a reform
movement in the town and had just re-
turned from this place where he placed
charges against several notorious offenders.

NO BOUNDARY AGREEMENT.
The Dividing Line Between Alaska
and Canada Not Yet Settled.

WASHINGTON, March LIT is said at

ports that Great Britain and the United
States have signed a treaty for settlement
of the Alaskan boundary dispute are incor-
rect, no treaty having been signed as yet
and the matter still being a subject Of
negotiation. The department will say moth
ing in regard to the details from Ottawa
as to an agreement TO how the boundary
line shall be computed from the shore line
following 1t in all its sinuosites and that
the tops Of mountain peaks shall mark the
limits of American territory, but it is init
mated that the Ottawa reports are little
strained
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
hassador, through his secretary, Mr..
O'Beirne also authorized a complete and
special denial of the reported perfection of
a treaty. No convention of any character,
he said, had been made and the details
given, he said, therefore, were erroneous
as whole and in detail.
