CHICAGO HAS SITES.
Dust Has Made This Painful Ailment
an Epidemic in the City.

ing offices in the down town district of
Chicago are authority for the statement
that there is an epidemic of sites preva-
lent at present. For several weeks past
the presence of sites became so pro-
nounced that almost every other man or
woman encountered on the principal thor
oughfareS appeared to be suffering from
the troublesome affiction. In the central
police detail alone twelve policemen were
found to be suffering from an infiamed
swelling or boil on the eyelid.
The supply Of sites seems to be on the
increase at the present time and OculistS
predict a severe epidemic unless the
weather conditions change in the near
future. 1t is explained that the dust
which arises from the city streets and
hangs like a pail over the down town dis
trtct is mainly responsible for the affiic-
ton. An increase in the supply of
sprinkling carts during the day. and more
particularly during the sweeping opera
tons at night. would have the effect of
checking hla eIlileTnic.

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in The World, EX-
cept IL Surgical Operation, That
VIII Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles,

The study of physicians, the experiments
OF chemists, the loudly advertised preten-
sions of quacks, have been for years ex-
pended in one direction; to find a pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number of HARM
less, and in most cases useless ointments,
suppositories and even internal remedies
which the public have weighed in the bal
ance of experience and found wanting; near
ly all of them gave some relief, but nothing
approaching a radical cure resulted from
these preparations.
The remedy required is one that mined
diately stops the pain so severe in most cases
OF piles, and then by contracting the small
blood vessels (capillarics) to their normal
size. produces a radical cure by reducing
and finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inflamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy had
been produced, but at that time SUPPOSE
tory was placed upon the market, which has
since proven itself to be the long sought
permanent cure for this common and dis
tressing trouble; it has rapidly become ia
nous throughout the United States and
Canada, and is now sold by nearly all drug
glsts under the name OF the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t Is now the best known, because It's
merit and safety have advertised it wherever
used. 1t has been advertised by word OF
mouth, from one sufferer to another; people
who had tried everything else, even submit
ting to painful and dangerous surgical ope-
rations without avail finally have found that
piles may be cured without pain and without
expense, practically, as the Pyramid Pile
Cure is sold for the nomlnal price of so
cents and s1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain and
at the same time contain no cocaine, NOR
phine or narcotics; the acids and healing
properties contained in the remedy speedily
remove, cause a healthful. natural %contrac-
ton and absorption OF tumors; it will cure
any form OF rectal trouble except cancer and
advanced fistula, which by the way, nearly
always result from neglectiug proper and
timely treatment for piles.
As above stated, can furnish you with the
Pyramid Pile Cure at so cents for ordinary
size or $1.00 for large package.

COUNCIL SUE SCHOOL BOARD.

Latter body Refuses to Refund Lii
cense Money Illegally Received.
BLUE SPRINGS, Neb., Feb. 1.-(Special.)
There Is a bitter war here between the
town council and the school board. 1t
grows out Of the Pisar license case. The
council granted the license and Pisar handed
over $3.50, $500 Of which went to the school
fund and the remaining $3.50 to the city.
The saloon was opened but after running
a few days an officer closed the place aud
condscated the stock, claiming the license
was illegal. Pisar fought the case and was
beaten On both the lower court and the
supreme court, and ever since that time he
has been trying to recover his $3.50. After
consulting various attorneys, the city coun-
Gil concluded to refund to Pisar the money
he had paid for a license, but the school
board refused to give back its part of the
money. Now the city council. which Pisar
holds responsible, has begun a suit against
the school board to recover the $500.

OF the county attorney cures the objections
POINTED out by Senator Crow.
Crow OF Douglas insisted that the bill
invited an onslaught on the treasury OF
every county which no senator could AFFORD
TO support.
Talbot of Lancaster thought the 20. X" OF
the county attorney vas all the protection
needed by the county. He said the bill
was a splendid amendment to the criminal
code.
Newell Of Cass said In his county a man
might have to go forty-hve miles to see
the county attorney and get his approval.
Miller Of Buffalo favored the bill. He said
the present law invited discrimination upon
the part OF the justices against defendants
who were able to pay a fine and costs.
Fowler OF Fillmore said the senator from
Douglas wanted to punish all the justices
and constables in the state simply because
there were some dishonest officers in Doug
las county.
Van Dusen OF Douglas showed now costs
would be piled UP in his county in petty
cases and the taxpayers robbed. 1t Is
lamentable that Justices Of the peace are not
AS pure as they should be.
Hannibal of Howard thought the state
ought to be honest with its officers and pay
them for services in criminal cases.
The provision of the bill that met such
fcrcible objection on the part of the senators
from Douglas is as follows:
Section /. That section SOS OF chapter
Of the Criminal Code OF the State of Me-
bfaska be amended so as TO read as fol
lows: Section 535. That no costs shall be
paid from the county treasury in any case
OF prosecution for q misdemeanor. or for
surety TO keep the peace, unless prior to
the issuing of the warrant in such case, the
county attorney OF the county in which
such action is brought shall have examined
into such complaint and shall endorse there
on his approval of the same. In all such
cases costs shall be allowed by the county
commissioners the same as in cases OF fell
ony tried in the district court"
Senator Crows amendment for indefinite
postponement prevailed by u vote of 10
to 10.
The committee arose at 5:25 and the SEN
ate adjourned till tomorrow.

SENATOR'S BY POPULAR VOTE
Subject to Come Up for Discussion in the
Senate Today.
RESOLUTION SENT UP BY scHAAL OF sARpY
House Lnys on the Table an Invita-
ton to W.. J. bryan TO Talk to
the Members ON the
Matter.

LINCOLN, Feb. 1.-(Speclal)-In the alb
sence of anything exciting In the senate this
morning, Schaal Of Sarpy tried to resurrect
mis- motion favoring the election of senators
by a direct vote Of the people, his motion
having been laid on the table for future
consideration a few days ago. TIE senate
majority evinced no lightning desire 10 take
his motion from the table where it was re.
posing in graceful silence, SO the Sarpy
senator shot a new resolution into the hopper
expressing the same sentiment conveyed by
his tabled motion. He then moved q sus-
pension Of the rules In order that the senate
might act upon the resolution forthwith.
a nnnbsr Uf republican members favored
the immediate disposition of the resolution.
but thirteen senators did not, hence it will
come up tomorrow for a flow Of %oratory.
Talbot Of Lancaster and Rookie OF Lam
caster both voted for immediate considera-
ton.
Busy Time in the House.
In the house there was a busy time all
day. The lack Of votes to pass the bill au-
thorizing the appointment Of supreme court
commissioners, with the emergency clause,
caused a call Of the house and made a lively
hustle for votes. Finally the necessary
number voted for the bill and the cali was
raised.
Late In the Afternoon an attempt was
made to discredit the Omaha exposition by a
resolution directed to the Nebraska delega-
ton in congress. 1t was evident that a
majority Of the members then in the hall
were In favor Of the resolution. Action was
delayed by the Douglas county members
explaining that no appropriation was asked
from congress and that 1t was only %recogni-
ton that was asked. They moved that the
matter be made a special order for tomor-
row morning and the motion carried.
A motion inviting Bryan to address the
house on the mode Of election Of United
States senators was laid on the table by a
narrow margin just before the house ad-
~journed.
SkiptOn Is Sent For.
The sergeant-at-arms Of the house was
sent to Fillmore county for Judge Skipton
tonight in accordance with a warrant issued
by the house this afternoon. There Is a
general desire to close up the Fillmore con-
test case at once, but another attempt VIII
be made to get the missing ballots.
The Omaha exposition matter. which was
stirred up by the swan resolution this
afternoon, is being discreetly talked over.
Some Of those who desired TO take a slap at
the exposition today are modifying their
views and it Is pretty certain that no radi-
cal action will DO taken tomorrow.

TAXES OF FAST FREIGHT LINES
committee OF Pennsylvania LeEisla-
ture May Investigate Alleged
IlleHa Practices.

HARRISBURG Pa, Feb. 1.-The hrst res
olution introduced into the present legisla-
ture looking to the appointment OF an in
vestigating committee was read in the SEN
ate today by Mr.. Medley Of Clarion. In the
resolution the assertion is made that the
records Of the treasury department do not
show that fast freight lines comply with the
revenue laws of the state and that they do
not pay taxes as required by law. 1t is pro-
vided that an investigating committee be
appointed to inquire into this alleged abuse,
the sessions of which are to be held in
Harrisburg; that the members ask for no
compensation. and that the only expense to
be incurred is the appointment OF a stem
ographer. The resolution was referred to
the committee on judiciary.
