Mr.. VIM. Handschu of 10th ST., Cot
ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses HIM
self as follows regarding the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: Il take pleasure in stat
ing that | was SO afflicted with piles
that for three months / got no regular
sleep; | became completely Frustrated,
the doctors did me no good; my brother
told me of the new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure; l purchased OF
my druggist three 80 cent boxes and
they completely cured me. / am once
more at work and but for this excel
lent remedy / would be on my back.
take great pleasure in writing this let
ter because 50 many people are sufferers
from this trouble who like myself did
not know where to look for permanent
safe, reliable cure"
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure for the past three years has DEM
onstratcd to the medical profession as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles, that it is the safest and most
effectual pile cure ever offered to the
public containing no opiates or poisons
of any kind, painless and convenient
to handle, and being old by druggists
at soc and $100 per box, is within the
reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedies
for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag
gravating and obstinate to cure than the
various forms of piles, and it is com
mon practice to use ointments, salyes and
similar preparations containing danger
Gus poisons to remove the trouble. The
Pyramid has superseded all of these in
eIfectua remedies and no one suffering
with any rectal trouble will make any
mistake in giving the Pyramid trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co,
Marshall, Mich, for valuable book
on piles. describing all forms of the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as it is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles, and if
you ask him he can doubtless refer you
to many people in your own vicinity
who have been cured completely by it.

entertained delegates would be glad to
have the convention meet here every
year.
In some sections this church is known
as the Disciples church, though Chris
tan" in its official designation. 1t is
very unlike the Christian church, which
is strong in Eastern Virginia and parts
Of Central North Carolina, and its mem
bership in North Carolina is found
chiefly in the Eastern part of the State
where it is growing rapidly. Wilson,
Kinston and Washington might be called
the centres of its influence. In its COM
munion are found many men of scholar
ship and power. and it is an educating
church, as well as one that is diligent
in carrying the gospel to those that sit
in darkness.
This is one of the youngest of the relig-
ious denominations, but it already has
in America a membership of over a mil
lion souls-larger than some of the old
er churches. 1t has endowed colleges
and splendid churches, and a ministry
that ranks high for scholarship and
spiritual power Its chief strength is in
what is known as the Middle West be-
ing particularly strong in Ohio, Ken
lucky and Indiana. Among the two
greatest men, intellectually giants, this
country has produced Were the late
President Garfield and Judge Jeremiah
Black, who were leaders in this denomi-
nation. President Garfield was one of
the most brilliant men America has pro-
duced, and Judge Black has had no SUI
perior among those great jurists who
stood for the fundamental princi-
pies upon which our government
is bottomed. Many other strong men
have belonged to this communion, and
in Eastern North Carolina you will find
among the Christians or Disciples the
best men and women who bless that
fertile section.
The business of the Convention has
been interspersed with eloquent sermons
and addresses by prominent divines of
this and other States The most notable
spirit manifested has been the mission
airy spirit Beginning with the mission
AIRY zeal of the woman's meeting. the
missionary spirit has been manifest in
every service. The addresses on mis-
sions were of high order On the last
night the large and commodious church
could not begin to hold those who de-
spending, Secretary of Home Missions
whose sermon and address were among
the finest efforts ever heard in North
Carolina church. He has agreed TO re-
main over and preach Sunday morning
in the Methodist church, and at night in
the Christian church. Among the other
visiting divines who charmed the PEG
pie and the delegates were Rev. John A
Stevens Home Missionary Secretary
Rev. DIR. A. Mclean. of Cincinnati
Rev. DIR. B. A. Abbott, of Baltimore
Mrs. Louise Kelly, of Emporia Kansas
Rev. DR.. A. ID. Thaeler, of Winston

and Prof. John Il. Ray, of the State
Blind Institution.
In the course of a remarkably stroni
address on Missions, DR.. Abbott, of Bal

The publication yesterday of what

attacking Senator Hanna, judge Nash,
the Republican candidate for Governor
Of Ohio, and the Administration, led
Chairman Dick to make public some re-

concerning the Ohio campaign, which
shows that Sherman is really anxious for
Republican success in Ohio, and for

More Than His Share.

Missoula, May 2S.-Billy Logan, the
city herder. has more than his share OF
troubles these days. He has been very
efficient in the discharge of his duties
and has succeeded better than any pre-
vious herder in abating the city cow
nuisance. In doing this he has in
Cured the displeasure of some of the
COW owners, but the owners of lawns
and shrubbery are his friends. He has
had some hard chases, but he generally
lands his victims and the pound is Sc
curely locked and tightly nailed. The
round is a good institution and has
been we'll patroniZed lately. 1t is likely
that there will be a falling off in the
patronage from now on. as. the rents
are high and it is really cheaper for
COW owners to pasture their stock than
to pay for feeding in the pound.

Missoula, May 2S.--A band of Mormon
missionaries has been making a tour Of
Missoula's suburbs. The elders have
made house to house canvass and
have labOred diligently to instill their
peculiar doctrine into the households
that they have visited. During the past
few days they have been laboring in
the Rattlesnake valley They have been
listened to in some places and in others
have received scant courtesy. One man
told them that if their time was worth
as much as his, they would all be bene-
fitted by cutting their visit short. When
they asked him to allow them to pre-
sent their doctrine TO him, he told them
that when he wanted to learn anything
about the Mormons he read the Salt
Lake Tribune. Then they went away.
