A recent Washington special says the
department officials are considering the
proposition of mastering out regiments
from Manila Immediately upon their
arrival in this country, without sending
them to their home states for that pur-
pose. 1t is proposed by the department
to have congress pass an act authorizing
the secetary of war to pay these troops
for sixty days service in addition to the
amount that will be due them at the
date of muster out. 1t is said that this
will not only save the government un-
limited bother in settling account, but
will be advantageous to the soldiers
themse Ives. in that it will leave them
free to 60 where they will without being
under the necessity of reporting at the
end of sixty days.

Speaking Of the remarkable trade re
cord of the year 1898, record never
before equalled in all lines, the Phila-
delphia Record says: with all the
wonderful business expansion thus in
dicated 1898 has gone into history with
a record of the smallest number and
least liabilities involved in business
failures for FIVE years past. In the
light of these facts there is no room for
pessimism The dawn of the new year
is more radiant with bright promise for
the substantial interests of the country

GRAND JUNCTION BONDED.
We learn that negotiations which
have been pending for some time have
this week been closed, whereby j. c.
Spencer and C. c.. Crary of this city
have secured bond on the Grand
Junction mining property, located about
eight miles northwest of Custer. The
bond is to run for year, and at the ex-
piration Of that time the owners Of tine
property are to receive upwards Of
$4,000. One Of the conditions
is that the property be devel
oped by sinking a 800 foot shaft
within the time given to take up the
bond. The claims included are the
Junction mine, North Segregated Hart
ford and two side locations. Work is to
be commenced at once and will be push
ed very rapidly.
CHlLkOOT DlRTRlCT.
Thomas G. Blair is working this win
ter upon some mining ground that he
owns in what is called the Chilkoot dis.
trict on the head of Big Squaw creek,
about ten miles southwest Of Keystone,
in the granite formation. A shaft has
been put down by Mr.. Blair and his
partners to the depth of seventy feet on
a vertical Of ore from which some excel
lent returns have been obtained. Assays
from The surface ran as high as $40 to
the ton, and at the present bottom Of
the shaft the ore assays $500 to the ton.
1t appears to be free milling and concen-
trating proposition, although Mr.. Blair
is of the opinion that it will really
prove to be a smelling ore when great
er depth is attained. Tests have been
made upon it and it has been found
that large percentage Of the values
escaped in the concentrating process
Tie ground lies about eight miles from
Custer, and Mr.. Blair is of the opinion
that ore will be shipped from the shaft
within the next year. If so the ore will
probably be hauled to Custer for ship

SENATOR TELLER

Denver, Col, April 19.-United States
Senator Henry NJ. Teller and Congress
! HAN John r. Shafroth, in statements
published to-day, emphatieally declare
4 81 favor Of maintaining the Silver Re-
! publican organization not only in Col
orado but throughout the union. They
say that the silver question will be the
paramount issue in 1900.
( MI. Teller says that the gold stand
ard Democrats will not be able to con-
I troll the Democratic convention and
that as in 1896 they will support the
Republican candidate. He says that
the Democratic convention will reaffirm
the platform Of 1896 and that the party
must and will be allied with the Silver
Republican party and the Populist
party, both Of which must maintain
their organization and lend all their
aid to win victory in the great battle
Nof 1900. Il cannc. conceive of p3it-
ical situation that will induce me to
favor q union with the Mckinley Re
publicans, said Senator Teller. 1.-THE
Republican financial system is one
fraught with great danger to the coun-
try anJ1 one well calculated to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The Republican party favor large
standing army in time of peace, of not
less than 100000 men, at an expense of
not less than $125,000.0O0 to s150,000,-
900 per annum. 1t is its purpose also
40 increase this army in proportion as
the population of the country shall in
crease.
The Republican party is so thorough
" dominated by trusts, syndicates and
combines that | have no hope of re-
3ieving that quarter. l firmly believe
that the continued administration of
the government by the Republican
party as nov controlled threatens the
very existence Of free government
Mr. Teller expresses no preference

Eests the nomination of Bryan and

Of pain. This desirable paint Is
not obtained BY the use Of injur-
ious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the
parts and make matters worse in
the long run. But it is done SOLE
ly by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immedi-
ate relief. at the same time the
disease is not merely checked, but
a radical cure is accomplished.
And the point we want to make
clear is that all this is done with
out particle of pain.
This fact is one great reason for
the popularity of the Pyramid Pile
Cure and constitutes one very great
difference between it and almost
any other treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation
for piles is excruciatingly painful
besides endangering the life of the
patient and in most cases is not 20
be compared with the Pyramid Pile
Cure, neither in making successful
cures without pain or in cheapness
and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
before the public so long, and it's
merits recognized by too many peo-
pie to allow it to be classed with
the many salves, suppositories,
pills, etc., and you run no risk in
trying it, as it is often the case
with untried preparations.
