PRAISES TENNESSEEANS.
The President Pays Glowing Tribute
to the Volunteers.

Peoria, Oct 7.-Between Quincy and
Peoria three brief stops of the presiden-
tial train were made at Macomb, Can
ton and Bushnell. At each of these sta
tions the president was escorted from
the train to platforms erected for the
occasion. The entire population of these
towns appeared to have turned out to
greet the chief magistrate and he was
invariably welcomed with boundlesS
enthusiasm and applause. At Macomb
the president said:
my fellow citizens, I thank you for
this cordial greeting and generous well
come. 1t is a pleasure to me to look
into your face to feel your warm hearts
and to know that you are interested in
the prosperity and honor of the govern
ment of the United States. These great
assemblages of the people teach patri-
otism and patriotism is the mighty
power that sustains the government in
peace and unites US in war. (Great ap-
plause.) The patriot loves his home, his
family, his profession, his farm, his
books, but he has a great love which in
cludes all these-he loves his country.
(Great applause.) No more splendid
exhibition of patriotism was ever shown
than was shown a few days ago in the
distant Philippines. (Applause). That

from home and family and friends for

The Old Methods of Treating Piles and
Rectal Diseases Supplanted by the
Pyramid Pile Cure.

The old method of treating piles by
1igature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods of dilation, besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makeshffts as far as cure is concern
ed.
The liver is responsible for nearly ev-
cry case of piles and the mistake has
been made of treating piles as a pure
ly local disease. Such is not the case,
however, and the success of the new
treatment known as the Pyramid Pile
Cure has Demonstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve
or ointment but a suppOsitOry which is
applied at night and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts
both as a local and a constitutional
treatment, and in cases of many years
standing this treatment has been eff
fectual.
Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestimable value of the
Pyramid and even those who have un-
dergone surgical operations without a
cure have been happily surprised by re-
suits from a few weeks treatment with
the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine
because the relief is so instantaneous,
but the Pyramid Pile Cure is guaran-
teed absolutely free from any opiate
or mineral poison whatever.
The relief is the result of the astrin-
gent properties of the remedy which
causes the little tumOrs and congested
blood vessels to contract and a normal
circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sci
| entihc, both in its composition and in
its therapeutic action and the best fea-
ture of it is that it is perfectly safe
and harmless. No i'll effects ever result
/ from its use, but only positive benefit.
A singular fact, in view of the large
| number of patent medicines before the
/ public is that the Pyramid is the only
| Pile cure of national reputation. 1t is
/ the only pile cure popular enough and
| meritorious enough to be found in ev-
| cry drug store in the United States. It
/ sells at so cents for a full sized pack

Men Who Built the Atbara Bridge
Return.

Philadelphia. Oct. 7-Supt. wenneas
Of the PencoId Iron works of this city
and the seven skilled iron workers who
accompanied him to Egypt to erect the
bridge over Atbara river in the Soudan
reached the 'Pencoid works today. The
whole force turned out to greet them.
Work was suspended and whistles were
blown. Supt. Wenneas modestly said
today that he did not regard his
achievement as a great one. He said
that if he could have had big force
of American helpers to assist him in
the erection of the bridge, instead of
convicts, the only help available, he
could have finished the work even
quicker than it was done.
There was no skilled labor in the Sou

registered not alone our martial tr1-
umph, but have recorded equal tr1-

come in the war with Spain, but we
have overcome the enemies of prosper1-

the United States is enjoying an era of
prosperity unprecedented in our his

than do, because it has taken bless

New York, Oct IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
A suggestion was made today of the
possibility that a diplomatic officer of
the United States might have to be en-
ployed to collect a lawyers fee for an
ex-president OF the United States The
situation, it was admitted, would be
unprecedented if it presented itself but
is not thought likely that it will.
The fee involved. so it is reported, is
$3.50 900 promised by the present Vene-
zuelan government to Benjamin Harri-
son for his services as legal counsel of
the Venezuela repu blic before the Paris
arbitration commi ssion. 1t was sug-
gested that in the event of the triumph
of the insurrectionist in Venezuela. now
almost at the gates of the capital city
of Caracas, tire bligatiOn of the. pre-
eeding admin strs -tion might be repud-
lated inasmuCsh the benefits derived
by Venezuela from the award are
doubtful.
In this case state department officials
are of the opinion that the debt would
be regarded as one of honor, partly
on accoun'i of Mr.. Harrison's high posi-
tion as the former chief executive of a
republic whose good offices were alone

Jennings Bryan sat directly behind
President Mckinley at Canton, Ill,
while the president delivered an address
to the citizens Of that town. A street
fair is in progress at Canton and Colo
mel Bryan had been secured to deliver
a two hours speech. The Nebraskan
was among the IIrst to greet President
Mckinley as he left the train and as
cended the platform. When the presi-
dent concluded his address, he turned
and heartily grasped Colonel Bryan's
outstretched hand "Bood bye, Mr..
President" said Colonel Bryan, and the
president responded with a word of
farewell This closed the short meet
ing between the former rivals of 1896,
as the presidential train left inmed-
lately.
Colonel Bryan delivered his address
after the departure of the president.
President Mckinley said at Canton:
"'Our glorious old flag, the symbol of
pheres. During the recent war we had
exhibitions of unprecedented patriotism
on the part of the people and unmatch-
ed herOism on the part of our soldiers
and sailors. (Applause) Our second
great triumph is the triumph Of pros
perity. The busy mills, the active in
dustries, the general prosperity, have
scattered plenty over smiling country.
Our third great triumph is the triumph
we have had over sectionalism. We are
no longer a divided people and he who

ception of the government continue His
gracious and assuring favor to US for

It was with the greatest difficulty that

that the jury could understand him,
