Yesterday.

In common pleas court yesterday the
jury in the case Of August Rosso
against Peter Mulligan, brought in
verdict of $3.50 for the plaintiff, the
full amount of the wages he claimed.
The case of Hiram Helmes, assigned
to Martha Turner, against Charles
Schlager, was tried before Judge Gum
ster. ]. w. Carpenter appeared for
the plaintiff, and John F. Scragg and
Hon. NJ. f. Sando for the defense. The
plaintiff claims that the defendant
agreed to pay SIS a week for the care

Schlager while the latter was sick at
her home. The defense was that no
such agreement was made, and that
the plaintiff was fully reimbursed for
their trouble and expense.
When the case OF Mary Flynn, exc
cutrix, against Catherine Shepplein,
administrators, was called for trial be-
fore Judge Gunster, the attorney for
the plaintiff, d. B. Replogle asked to
have the title amended by striking off
the administrative" and making Mrs.
Sheppleman an individual defendant.
The motion was granted but as the
case progressed it was evident that the
defendant should have been sued as ad-
mmistratrix, and Judge Gunster with
drew a juror and continued the case.
Judge Gunster also heard the case of
w. f. Purvis against NJ. J. O'Hara,
an action to recover STA for labor per-
formed for the plaintiff about his store
by the defendants son. The defense
was that the boy simply loafed around
the store and ran errands, and that he
wGs paid for his services at the sew
eral times he rendered them. The jury
found for the plaintiff in the sum Of

A non-suit was entered in the case

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BYA
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, uncontrol-
liable itching in the 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 ap-
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
a permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itch
ing piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain
cocaine. opium or similar drugs, but
such is not the case. A recent careful
analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine,
opium, or in fact any poisonous, in
furious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure Is probably the only pile cure ex-
tensively recommended by physicians,
because it is so safe, so prompt in the
relief 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 1t 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 testimon-
ials from all parts Of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles
ask your druggist for a package of
Pyramid Pile Cure and try 1t tonight.

large force OF men at work digging

At the same time Park avenue, near
