engaged in some repair work on the
steamer Shawmut, which has been tied
up at this pier. Yesterday he was
missing and inquiry failed to locate
him. lie had been seen aboard the
vessel and the conclusion was reached
that he must have fallen into the slip
while coming ashore.
This conclusion proved correct, for
when the slip was dragged this MORN
ing the body was found. The water
was intensely cold and the man had
evidently been too chilled by the sud-
den immersion to make much effort to
save himself. which would have been a
difficult thing to do under any circum-
stances, owing to the cramped space
between the vessel and the pier.

Remarkable Success of New ri
Cure.

Remarkable Success of n New Pile
Cure.
People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and inconvenience OF
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skepticism upon the claims of the makers
of the new discovery for a cure of all forms
of piles, known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure: nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such
as to warrant the investigation Of any suf
ferer. AS case in point, the following
letter speaks for itself.
Mr. Henry Thomas. of substation No 3,
Hosack Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen want you to use my name
if it will be of any use to you. l was so
bad with piles that l lost work on that ac-
count. Nothing helped me. l read in Gin
cnnati of the many cures of piles by the
Pyramid Pile Cure and l went to drug
store and asked for it. The drug clerk
told me that he had something else that
he thought was better, but | told him that
| wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that l
tried another and then to complete the
cure used two more boxes, making four in
all | am now completely cured. Have
not trace of piles and / had suffered for
ing piles.
Il suffered death from piles. but l have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be Just as
represented. ! have recommended it to
several of my friends and am thankful to
be able to write you what good the remedy
has done me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium, CO.
caine, or mineral poison of any kind, and
because it is so safe and pleasant to use,
being painless and applied at night The
patient is cured in a surprisingly short
time and with no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents per package, and if there
is any constipation it is well to use the
Pyramid Pills at the same time with the
Pile Cure as constipation is very often
the cause of piles, and the pills efTectualiy
remove the costive condition. Price of pills
is % cents per package.

The army bill passed the house, it is
true, but with so.many amendments that
it's mother would hardly have recog-
nized it. The principle OF the bill re-
mains, doubtless, but after all the
worthy legislators had put their fingers
in the pudding and pulled out plum
after plum, there was not much left to
put the sauce upon. The bill was
framed by those who knew what they
were about. It was designed to meet q
real and pressing demand. AS it is the
bill is so hedged about by provisos
that much of it's original force has
been lost. But il that is the best that
could be, the president doubtless ought
to feel thankful that it pulled through
at all. Now as to it's fate in the sem
ate, that is far more difficult pro-
blem than that in the house. The sem
ators take more time to talk, they re-

ONE thing is certain-that Magoffn
has lost in the shuttle. Not very long
ago he was an avowed candidate for re-
election to the Office of mayor. There
seemed to be no question that the DEM
ocrats would run him again. and try to
make a fight on the strength of the
bond issues, the White Oaks road, and
numerous other utterly irrelevant
things, while trying to avoid calling
up his disreputable record as mayor.
Now it appears that be has had enough
of it. He is ready to retire in favor of
u better man. He has been frightened
off. or rather his bosses have, and the
gang now understands that 1t must
make q run for the money
and put up the money itself.

THE councilmen, when they saw the
pressure was too strong for them, &C
knowledged that they were wrong and
said they would try to do all they
could to undo the mistake. That was
truly manly. and raised them a long
ways in the estimation of the people.
There are times when to yield grace.
fully is far more manly than to stand
up stubbornly for what is known to be
wrong.

In the New York legislature Senator
Ford has brought forward bill provid-
ing for the taxation of franchise
rights as real estate. An exchange,
commenting on the bill, says:
Senator Ford's bill for the taxation
of franchise rights as real estate Is q
proposition which would add greatly to
the assessment rolls OF the cities. 1t
perty, which Is exceedingly valuable
because it usually is in the nature OF q
monopoly, does not bear as great q
share of the tax burden as 1t should. 1t
Is the belief of many people, indeed,
that most, If not all, of the expense OF
cities could be met from just levy OF
taxes upon the innumerable franchises
which ARE sgranted. The experience
of Glasgow seems to bear out this view.
Yes, and the experiences of almost
every city in the country show that the
free gift of franchise rights is one of
the greatest wrongs against the peo-
pie at large. In q time when capital 1s
everywhere seeking investment. and is
willing to accept very low rates on
need for cities of standing to offer an
extremely valuable grant free OF
charge to any one who asks for it, es-
pecially when these grants in many
cases hamper the development of the
community rather than help it. The
argument against long time franchises
also applies. Cities must come to
realize the value of what they are Civ
ing away. Until they do this, others
will always succeed in depreciating
their value, and in securing valuable
franchises for nothing.
