Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly,
PsinIessiy, Without Danger

People go along for years suffering
with piles. Then try this, and that
and the other thing; from carrying a
buckeye 10 getting treatment from q
physician. They obtain temporary re-
lief, maybe, but they are never quite
cured. A little strain in lifting, ex-
cessive fatigue, a little constipation or
a little diarrhoea and the piles come
back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite.
No position is comfortable. There is
intense local pain and that dreadful
feeling of weight in the perineum,
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case is of
long standing there Is only one speedy
and sure remedy. 1t is Pyramid Pile
Cure, Even in light cases IL is the
safest thing to use. Other applications
may cure and may not. Pyramid Cure
is always certain, always reliable, al
ways brings comfort at once. Its
prompt use saves months of severe
suffering. In extreme cases II will
save surgical operations and their at
tendant dangers and discomforts. II
is better than a knife. VIII cure cas-
Ter, quicker and safer. Thousands
have used it. Thousands have been
cured by IT, The cost is trifing com
pared with what II does. The price is
so cents. Most anybody would gladly
pay ten dollars to be rid of piles.

TRADE GOOD.

In conversation with MEM
Der of the firm of L. Patterson Mer.
camille Co. the wholesale grocers,
who Is also out on the road great
deal, he reported fine fall trade, the
largest they had ever eDj ,yed. Trade
had been good all the season he said.
but was better than ever now. Asked
to what it could be attributed he re-
piled, that the crops were good. fair
prices were being obtained for them
and consequently farmers were trad
ing more than they have been for
some time back. He also said that
everybody who wanted work any
where, could find it to do, at fair re-
turn and this kept money moving in
exchange for the necessities and
comforts of life TO greater extent
than shad been the case for several
years back, and he thought that this
Improvement was largely due to the
wise and conservative policy of the
present administration.

that it was the intention of the

not permit his name to be used,
said that he had advised that the

and the depot on the 'levee.' 1tis
probable, however, that the other
line will be adopted. Asked as to
whether this would be made the juno
tion instead of Kasota, he replied
that he was not prepared to state
what would or would not be done in
that matter, but that it could be
stated to an absolute certainty that
the road would run through st. Peter

SUGAR BEETS.
Some Will be Shipped to st. Louis Park
From This Section.

The weather for the past ten days
has interfered with the harvest ship
ment of sugar beets. and as yet none
have been shipped from this locality,
so far as we have been able to learn.
There were about sixty acres of beets
raised in this vicinity, and the pro.
duct from the greater part thereof
will doubtless be shipped to the new
beet factory at St. Louis Park, near
Minneapolis. Mr.. E. 1. p. Staede in.
forms US that so far as has been learn.
ed the beets from this section are in
good shape and are yielding a good
percentage of sugar. The highest re.
ported gave return of Is per cent,
and none'have fallen below Is pei
cent.
For beets that yield Is Fer cent OF
sugar. the factory at ST. Louis Park
pay "a per ton, and an additional 25
cents for eacn additional l per cent OF
sugar. If the weather is good there
will doubtless be some beets shipped
from this section this week.
The new factory near Minneapolis
is now running, and expects to work
up the sugar beet crop from $500
acres. The company planted 1,OOC
acres of beets on it's own account.
There were 800 acres planted near
Hastings, and beets were also extern.
sively raised around Pennington, and
to a less extent around LIE Sueur.
Smaller tracts were cultivated at
numerous other points around the
state. Beets that yield Is per cent
and upwards of sugar ought, at a good
yield prove very remunerative crop
though it is probable that with the
experience gained this year, the
farmers will be able to do better In
their cultivation another season.

Commissioner Evan Hughes, w. L

Thos. Hughes for the state, as we
stated Saturday. After a full hear
ing, which was hard fought on the
part of both sides, the writ was dis
missed by Commissioner Hughes and
Crabbe remanded to the charge Of
Chief Wagon.
f. A. Whittier, the state agent of
the state reformatory at st. Cloud,
arrived in the city Saturday evening
and took possession of Crabbe on a
warrant from the reformatory, which
recited the fact that Crabbe had been
confined there for larceny in the Sec
ond degree, and had been liberated
on parole, which he had not lived up
to. He returned to St. Cloud with his
prisoner Sunday.
Mr.. Whittier would have been here
before, but when the information
reached the reformatory that Crabbe
was in durance vile, he, (Whittier)
was at Joliet, ILL.,, and knew nothing
about the matter until his return
home. He then took the first train
for this city.
Crabbe, we understand, claimed
that he had not been treated fairly by
the reformatory authorities, and 1t is
possible he may make an effort to get
free from there, as he claimed he had
fulfilled all requirements. His return
will likely keep him shut up for
several years.

BOARD OF TRADE.
II Takes Notice of President Soaring
Death, and Will Attend the FunereI.

Dedtn, ana Will Atten0 Inc Funerei.
At the board of trade meeting Monday
morning the secretary presented a
communication from the national as
ISOLATION of freight commissioners,
with headquarters at Kansas City,
enclosing a petition to congress ask
ing for an amendment to the inter
state commerce law for the regula-
tion of express companies and their
rates, and asking the local board to
to take some action upon the same.
On motion, the president and secre-
tary were authorized to sign the Pc
tition for the board.
John N. Hall called the attention
of the board to the death of President
Soaring, of the Normal school, and re-
ferred ID his work in it's behalf, in
building up it's present condition and
the benefit which had resulted to the
city. He thought that 10 would be
most appropriate that the board take
notice of the same and moved that a
committee of three be appointed, witt
Jno. G. Noe as chairman, to draft ap.
propriate resolutions and report same
to the board. The motion was adopt
ed and the president appointed John
n. Hall and l. Patterson as addi-
onalmembers of the committee.
On motion of Mr.. Noe, it was decid.
ed that the GARD attend the funeral
of Mr.. Soaring in a body and that
the members meet AT Jne board Of
trade rooms at 100 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon for that purpose. Bust
ness men were also requested to meet
with them and attend the funeral.
