WASHINGTON, Feb 1S.-Chairman
Burton, of the river and harbor COM
mlttee. stated today that he feared the
river and harbor bill would fail to be-
come law as a result of the action
Of the senate commerce committee in
adding the Nicaragua canal amend
ment.
Il am not opposed to the Nicaraguan
canal, said Mr.. Burton but it is a
vast project to be approached with due
deliberation and not carried along as
rider with perhaps only a few min
utes consideration. Every item of the
original bill was carefully scrutinized
by the committee, but it will be i'm
possible. if this amendment comes
back, to give it like scrutiny in the few
remaining days of congress or to recon-
Gle 1t with the original character of
the bill. Viewed from a practical
standpoint. the amendment creates a
combination of opposing elements the

tai TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BY A NEW AND SAFE
METHOD
A Remarkable Number of Cures

Remarkable Number of Cures
Made by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth
slight moisture and intense, uncontrol-
liable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or SalVe which some
times gives temporary relief, but moth
ing like permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure, not only for itching piles.
but for every other form of piles, blind
bleeding or protruding. The first ap-
plication gives instant relief, and the
continued use for a short time causes
a permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the
intense itching and discomfort of itch
ing piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium or similar drugs, but such
Is not the case. A recent careful analv-
sis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure ex
tensively recommended by physicians
because 1t is SO safe, SO prompt in the
relief afforded and so far as known
the only positive cure for piles except
a surgical operation
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the SAT-
est and the most extensively sold of
any pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell It at
Scots and 81 per package

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1S.-(Spec.al)-
On a reconsideration the house today
passed the bill for permanent appro-
priation for the state educational in
stitutfons amended to prevent the
amount exceeding $4,000 In any one
year.
Gov Lee presented a communication
showing the present condition of the
treasury and asking that no more
emergency appropriation bills than are
absolutely necessary be passed.
The senate passed the house bills tc
bearing on election reforms, besides a
new bill for normal school a. Aber-

A scrap was called out on the adop-
ton of an unfavorable committee re-
port on the senate bill, to place ex-
press companies under the control of
the railroad commission.
Wilson asked that 1t be recommitted
witE instructions to amend to prevent
the bill from going into effect be-
fore Jan. l, 1900 and placing the
matter of litigation under its pro
visions entirely in the hands of the at
torney general. In response to the
statement that the governor in his
message, had declared against such
law, he took the position that the gov
ernor had shown himself in the wrong

that he was wrong in his views Of
