In discussing the al1-absorbing topic
of the weather, yesterday, w. H Stell

Il haven't the records, burt it Is my
recollection that the first day of Janu-
airy, 1864, was about as cold as this
morning. was running on the old
side-wheel steamer Eagle, then, and
Asa Booth was pilot. AS I recall it,
the last day of 1863 was warm, and
there was rain that night, winding up
with thunder storm about 10 O'clock
in the evening. Then it turned cold.
1t was cold with big C. We started
down the river with the boat that night,
and when we got to Sardis the ice
was tremendous, and the river was
closed below us. We turned back. and
had the fight of our lives to reach

struck the lower part of town l was

if he was going to blow. He said:

on it till we hit the wharf. The next
morning the river was closed at Wheel
ing, having frozen up in one night,
after a warm rain and thunder storm" "
An effort was made yesterday after
noon to consult the records kept for
thirty-eight years by the late DR.. E.
A. Hildreth, but they could not be had,
the books being nailed up in boxes.
Several other citizens corroborated Mr..
Stell's recollection, however, in a gem
eral way, but no records Of actual tenn
perature for that day were procurable
yesterday The Register will dig them
out, however, as soon as possible.

-
rho Only Remedy in the World. Except /
surgical Operation, That VIII Ger
tainiy Cure Any Form of Piles.
The study of physicians, the ex-
periments of chemists, the loudly
advertised pretens.ons of quacks,
have been for years expended in
one direction; to find pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number
of harmless, and in most cases use
less ointments, suppositories and
even internal remedies, which the
public have weighed in the balance
of experience and found wanting;
nearly all of them give some relief,
but nothing approaching radical
cure resulted from these prepare
tons.
The remedy required is one that
Immediately stops the pain so Sc
we're in most cases of piles, and
then by contracting the small blood
vessels (capillaries) to their nor
NAL size, produces radical cure by
reducing and finally absorbing the
tumors and healing the infamed,
raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such
remedy had been produced. but at
that time suppository was placed
upon the market, which has since
proven itself to be the long sought
permanent cure for this common
and distressing trouble; it has rap
idly become famous throughout
the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists
under the name of the Pyramid
Pile Cure
1t is now the bcst known, because
its merit and safety have adver-
tised it wherever used. 1t has
been advertised by word of mouth,
from one sufferer to another; peo-
pie who had tried everything else,
even submitting to painful and
dangerous surgical operations with
out avail, finally have found that
piles may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically,
as the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold
for the nominal price of so cents
and $1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all
pain and at the same time contains
no cocaine, morphine or narcotics;
the acids and healing properties
contained in the remedy speedily
remove, cause a healthful, natural
contraction and absorption of
tumors; it will cure any form OF
rectal trouble except cancer and
advanced fstula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from
neglecting proper and timely treat
ment for piles.
AS above stated, can furnish
you with the Pyramid Pile Cure at
so cents for ordinary size or $1.O0

No sucn weather as this was ever
before known in the upper Ohio valley,
as far as either records or reminis-

Yesterday may not be duplicated for a
generation, and possibly never.
There was not a great deal of suffer-
ing from the cold up to last night, re-
cause of the extreme dryness of the
air, and the absence of wind, and as
the natural gas supply held out beau
tifully, residences even in exposed sit
uatiOnS were comparatively comfort
able at all times. OF course, there
were many broken water pipes, with
resulting discomfort and inconvan-
fence, but that sort of thing can scarce
~ be prevented, under such circuIr-
stances, even with the utmost care
Railroad men, street car mOtOrmeE,
letter carriers, police officers and
newspaper carrier boys suffered great
deal yesterday, but no bad effects were
reported from the extreme frost.
AS a matter of course, business suf-
fered a great deal. The retail tlade
has been practically dead for three
days past, and no revival can be looked
for until there is a decided modera-
ton in the temperature. Show win
dows as a rule are covered with frost,
and clerks in the big stores have mad
little to do since last Tuesday. The
plumbers have been busy, however, AMI
coal men have had very satisfactory
increase in the volume of business,
while the natural gas meters have been
somewhat overworked. Last night the
city gas fizzIed out in good many in
stances, and recourse was had to oil i'll
many residences, and some bus
mess houses not equipped with cleo
trio lights.
The river still remains open, to The

not gorged is, perhaps, due to the corn
raratively high stage OF water. TIE
ice is heavy, and navigation is en-

D~isruputable Tao tics,

~ Ids lCHldlncu Tor the Dead
wood Pioneer Times to inject
into the present judicial cam
paign a policy of falsehood,
Misrepresentation and dishon-
esty. In this particular line
the Pioneer Times stands alone
and it is welcome to the dis
tlnctlon gained by the adoption
of such methods.
Its attack upon the charac-
ter and standing of Hon. Ed
mund Smith IS an attorney
and citizen was as unprovoked
as it was false. This Kit
tredge organ at Deadwood
states that the nomination of
Hon. Edmund Smith for a
member of the supreme court
was d surprise to all. It
would have been impossible to
get farther from the truth.
Edmund Smiths nomination
was conceded by all two
months before the state con-
vention. He never once asked
for it. It was rendered to him
without the least solicitation
on his part. His only claim
on the nomination lay in the
fact that he was IN able attor-
ney, a good citizen and an hon.
est and honorable MANA claim
evidently surrendered Some
time ago by the publisher Of
Kittredge's organ in Dead
wood.
Not content with this unprO-
voked attack on a man of this
character, the Pioneer-Times
dwells at some length on Mr.
Smiths record in the state SEN
ate, stating that he changed
his vote on the re-submission
question and charging him with
conduct unbecoming a senator.
Adding to this mass of false
hood, the Pioneer-Times goes
on to state that an investiga-
ton committee was appointed
finding Mr.. Smith guilty, and
recommending his expulsion
from the senate; also that Sem
ator Smith was severely CEN
sured for his conduct. The
principal short coming in this
whole story lies in the fact that
it is utterly devoid of truth and
is not substantiated by either
the journal of the senate or the
republican members of the leg
islature from the Black Hills
counties. TO the personal
knowledge of The UNION 1t
least one of the republican leg
islators from the Hills has pro-
nounced the statements of the
Pioneer Times as being un-
qualihedly false and unwar-
ranted.
The campaign has from the
start been free from personal
attacks and should have re-
NAMED so, and in view of this
fact the Pioneer-Times and the
degenerate who presides over
it is welcome to the distinction
resulting from such an attack.
Hon. Edmund Smith stands on
his record as an attorney, his
record in the state senate and
his standing as a good citizen
and an honest man, He will
stand or fall on this basis and
regardless as to the result of
next Tuesdays election he will
not be injured. He is willing
to be the subject of criticism
so long as that criticism is bas-
ed on truth and on that basis
he is amply able Of taking care
of himself, but there is no ex-
cuse for an attack such as the
,Pioueer-T,mes has stopped to.

Cost Of the Philippines.

At least one hundred million
dollars a year is being expended in
carrying on the war in the Philip
pines. No n can prophesy
when it will end. But the admin
istration has been compiling fig
ures relative to the future govern
ment of the islands, which are cal
culated to make the tax payers
stare. The lowest estimate of the
war department is that it will take
an army Of $4,000 men to properly
garrison the islands in a time OF
profound peace. Spain never
kept less than $4,000 men under
arms. But the cost of maintain
ing an American army is many
times that of maintaining a Span
ish army, and s5o,ooo,o 900 a year
is the lowest estimate for maintain
ing that army with its costly trans
port service and rations drawn al
most entirely from the United
States. The war department is
quite within limits in estimating
that Of this army, not less that ten
per cent of which would find their
way to the pension rolls annually.
Another S5,ooo,ooo is reckoned
for naval expenditures.
For civil administration, $40,
900, 900 is estimated. One item
alone looks for the employment of
as many revenue cutters as there
are now in the United States SER
vice. Spain used more than fifty
coast guard vessels. 1t should be
remembered in this connection that
the islands have in the aggregate
a longer coast line than the United
States. Their nearness to the
Asiatic mainland would make the
maintenance of an enormous flee t
of revenue cutters necessary to
prevent smuggling.
Here is an expenditure of at least
SOS, 100000 a year forecast for a
time Of peace. The entire trade
with the Philippines will never
amount to one-tenth that sum an
nually. Is this enormous expend-
iture to be saddled upon American
tax payers2 If so, the game is
not worth the cost. Is it to be
saddled upon the Filipinos? Then
the burden will be three times that
which Spain exacted and against
which the Filipinos revolted.

dom" and "benevolent asssimila-
ton comes high.
lust as President Shurman had
secured a proper audience for his
parrot cry that; "Only the Taga-
logs were in revolt and they form
ed but a small percentage of the
people of the islands," comes the
unpleasant news that the Visay-
ans, the second largest tribe in
the islands, have revolted on Pan
ay and a regiment has been sent
down to guard Iloilo. 1t should
be said, however, that the sultan
Of Sulu is keeping up his end of
the treaty and sends a receipt for
his salary every month.
