thing about 1t Is the lingo Oratory 1t will
probably inspire in the United States
Senate.
w. ]. Bryan: Cooperation does not
contemplate the abandonment Of party
organization or the surrender Of any po-
litical principles; nor Is cooperation de-
Tended on the ground that the three plat
forms Of the three parties are identical.
Campaigns generally turn upon few Is
sues, sometimes upon one, and events do
much to determine which issue shall
most absorb public attention.
Springfield Republican: The latest Is
stove trust, whose chief aim, 1t Is need
less to add, is ito raise prices on all
kinds Of cast stoves, ranges and heaters" +"
It's purpose Is, therefore, to reduce the
purchasing power of the dollar In rela-
ton to stoves; In other words, to cheaper
the dollar; in short to degrade the cur
rency. But the trust managers will
shout honest money with the loudest.
Wichita Beacon: The Topeka Capital
notes that as an inducement to locate
there Alabama has exempted cotton mills
from taxation for a period Of ten years,
and as q result many new mills will soon
be In operation in that State. 1t Is only
question Of time, and not very great
length Of time at that, before the South
will be the center Of the worlds cotton
goods supply, as is only natural, since
it now produces the principal part Of the
worlds raw material In this line.
Direct LeglslatiOn The only way to
find out what the people want Is to ask
the people themselves. This can only be
done by direct legislation. AS 1t Is now,
broken pieces Of bread and bones with
out meat are handed down to the people
from the national and several State cap
itols. Are the denizens Of these capitol
places gods who know what the people
want? Common sense says that the peo-
pie know what they want and ought at
least to have a chance to say so by
direct vote.
Senator Harris: The action Of the
government Tin the sale Of the Kansas
PaCificl Is an outrage. was dubious
about 1t when 1t said that postpone
ment would be asked, but when called
on Attorney General Griggs on Tuesday
and he assured me that 1t was made in
good faith and | accepted 1t as true This
breach of faith on the part Of the admin
istration should be known by the Coun-
try. It has prevented legislation pro-
hibiting the President from accepting
less than the full amount OF govern
ment indebtedness, and has enabled the
reorganization committee to defraud the
people.

Ii is amentable fact that at pres
ent cur dramatists have been unable
to keep up with the demand for pure,
clean and clever comedies. The conn
fry is over-run with so-called come
dies. which are farcical, nonsensical,
and often filled with suggestive dia-
loeue and situations While this is
the case with the longer plays, it does
not apply to the one act comedies
which appear to be written with great
or success and more genuine merit.
The Players have wisely refrained
from producing the former. and will
give at the Opera House on Wednes-
day April 18th. a triple bill made up
of three of the most clever one-act
comedies that have ever been placed
mon the stage. The bill for the mat
inee and nights performances on next
wednesday will consist of "A Game OF
Cards" IA Woman's Won't. and
LEND Me Five Shillings,' and in such
canable hands as the Players will be

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One OF the Best Features of the New r..
Cure

One OF the Best Features of the New Pile
Cure
Inc pyramid Pile Cure cures every
lofni OF flies without one particle Of
pam. MS desirable point is not OBJ
tainea by the use of injurious opiates
when simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves OF the parts and make matters
worse In the long run. But it is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
ANA while it thus gives immediate
reilei, az the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but radical cure
is rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a
particle of pain.
rms tact is one reason for the great
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very.great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure. neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and it's mer-
its recognized by too many people to
allow it to be classed with the many
salves, suppositories, pills, etc., and
you run no risk in trying it, as is
often the case with new and untried
preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., Of
Albion, Mich. and sold by druggists
at 80 cents per package.

The ''OleO" cases were on trial all
day yesterday in the United States
Federal Court, and attracted many
merchants who are more or less direct
ly interested in the outcome of the
case on trial The nineteen local firms
who were compelled to pay the license
tax to Collector E. NJ. Gilkeson,
brought suit against she government
for the recovery of the money, and
decided upon the case of Hubbard &
PAUL as test. The license upon job
bers is s440 per year, and S4S for re-
tailers, but the law stipulates that an
additional so per cent be added unless
the tax is paid before any goods are
sold. This was made the basis of the
charges against Wheeling merchants,
and over $4,000 is involved in the liti-
cation.
The principal witnesses for the
plaintiff were Stole Bros. and Charles
Driehorst, one of their statesmen. 1t
was this firm which sold the article
In dispute to the merchants. The
Messrs. Stolze were subjected to a
searching cross-examination by Dis
trict Attorney Gaines, and the gov
eminent produced an important letter
from Wflkin & Co, the Washington,
d. c. Arm from whom the butter or
OleOmargarine was purchased. The
letter was written by Stolze Bros,
and advised the firm not to put too
much cOloring in the article, and
thereby to avoid suspicion. The OBJ
ject of the introduction of this letter
was to show that Stole Bros knew
they were purchasing oleomargarine,
and not butter.
The government introduced as wit
nesses the revenue officials and the
chemist of the Treasury Department
They showed that a quantity OF the
article which had been received was
submitted to a microscopic test here
and to chemical analysis in Wash
ington. Evidence in the shape of
freight bills was also introduced to
show that Stole Bros. received $4,000
pounds Of "oleo'' from the Washington
firm
The taking Of testimony was con-
Guided about four O'Clock, and the at
torneys in the case retired to decide
whether or not they would argue 1T.
They were unable to make up their
minds promptly, and the jury was dis
missed in this case until ten o'clock
this morning.
The case of Maloney VS.. the town Of
Sistersville was then called. Mir.
John A. Howard appeared for the
plaintiffs and the Sistersville solicitor
for the defendant, and the opening
statements were made to the jury. The
Maloney5 sue the town for money al
legged to be due them on their con-
tracts for street paving, and for num-
erous extras, aggregating in all about
$4,000 After the first witness had
been called it was discovered that an
important paper had been filed during
the day by the counsel for the plain
tiffs. Counsel for defendant pleaded
that he was taken by surprise and
Judge Jackson postponed the case I'M

Good Friday was observed with very
elaborate and impressive services in
the churches of the Roman Catholic
and Protestant Episcopal denomina-
lions. In st. Joseph's Cathedral the
exercises were especially interesting.
because OF their solemn nature and
their significance. The morning office
yesterday was divided into four parts:
the lessons, prayers, alteration OF the
cross and mass OF the pre-sanctified.
In the lessons, the officiating priest
prays while PROSTATE upon the altar
The unveiling of the cross, to the ac-
compartment of solemn chant, typi-
fies the preaching of the gospel and
the triumph of Christ. The host is
not consercated in the mass on this
day, but is preserved from Holy Thurs
day Father Mcbride was the cele-
brant, Father o. H. Moye deacon,
Father Harris sub-deacon, and the Rt.
Rev Bishop assisting at the throne.
The Three Hours Agony, from noon
until three O'Clock, was very simple,
consisting simply of meditation and
prayer, but the church was well hlled
at all times Last night the office or
the Tenebrae was repeated and the
church was crowded to the door The
exercises were of the most solemn
character. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Father Bernadine, .. M.
Cap, of st. Alphonsus Church. To-
day is Holy Saturday. The principal
ceremonies in connection with the day

cipally upon the lessons to be drawn
