NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS


Mr.. VIM. Handschu, OF 18th st.
Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, ex-
presses himself as follows regard
ing the new remedy for that COM
mon and obstinate disease, piles:
i take pleasure in stating that
was so afflicted with piles that for
three months | got no regular
sleep; | became completely pros
trated, the doctors did me no good;
my brother told me of the new rem
edy for piles, the Pyramid Pile
Cure; l purchased of my druggist
three 50-cent boxes and they COM
pletely cured me. I am once more
at work and but for this excellent
remedy l would be on my back.
I take great pleasure in writing this
letter because so many people are
sufferers from this trouble who
like myself did not know where to
look for permanent, safe, relia-
BILE cure.
Experience with the Pyramid
Pile Cure for the past three years
has demonstrated to the medical
pAOISooAOh oo well Oo " thOuodaQS
of sufferers from piles, that it is
the safest and most effectual pile
cure ever offered to the public, con-
tanning no Opiates or poisons OF
any kind, painless and convenient
to handle, and being sold by drug
gists at SOC and $1.00 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes
have made complete cure of
chronic cases that had not yielded
to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more
aggravating and obstinate to cure
than the various forms of piles,
and it is common practice to use
ointments, salves and similar prep
arations containing dangerous poi
sons to remove the trouble. The
Pyramid has superseded all of
these Intellectual remedies and no
one suffering with any rectal trou-
BILE will make any mistake in CIV
ing the Pyramid trial.
If in doubt as to the nature OF
your trouble, send to the Pyramid
Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, for a
valuable book on piles, describing
all forms of the disease and de-
scribing 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.

MISSING VACANCIES.

A short time since quite discus
sion arose among the officials OF one
of our prominent railroads as to the
reason of the many vexatious delays
and troubles in the transmission OF To-
cal freight 1t was claimed by some OF
the parties that it was caused almost
entirely by the stupidity or inefflclency
of the local agents, and as there was
some difference of opinion on this
point it was decided that the matter
should be tested.
To this end a tracer was prepared
in due and formal shape, calling for
the whereabouts of "One Box Post
holes" which it is alleged was missing
from prior shipment. This was sent
out in the regular order OF business
with nothing except its internal moth
ingness'' to draw attention to its unus-
ual character, and passed agent after
agent without eliciting comment or in
formation save the stereotyped en-
dorsement: Not here"
Some fifteen or eighteen local agents
were actually passed in this way, until
the tracer fell into the hands of a
bright young fellow who was accus-
toned to looking into the business pas
sing through his hands, and who speed
ily came to the conclusion that the
tracer had gone far enough. At any
rate the document went speedily back
to the general office with the following
endorsement: BOX of post-holes, as
per enclosed, held at this station fo1
local charges to amount of $3.50. Will
be forwarded upon receipt of same
Under this endorsement was written:
IN. B.-The price of beer is $3.50 a
key. please forward by next train" The
beer arrived all right but no more
tracers were sent out.

The Great Improvements at the Union
Depot.
1T WILL BE A COMPLETE AND
UP-TO-DATE RAILWAY STA
TION-MORE CARS ORDERED.
POST-HOLES MISSING MISCEL-
LANEOUS RAILWAY NOTES.

The large force of men which have
been working at the Union Depot
owned by the Wheeling Bridge & Ter
minal Company, have accomplished
great deal the past ten days. Inside
the main building all the rooms are
being cleaned as they never were be-
fore. and many other noticeable i'm
provements are also being made.
There is but one passenger road using
this depot now, it being the Wheeling
& Lake Erie Company, and exactly
fourteen passenger trains are received
and dispatched here daily.
The Union depot. when all new
changes have been made, will be one
of the most complete stations to be
found in any city. Waiting rooms for
both sexes will be fitted up and the
travelling public will have every COM
fort in this line Outside the main
building train sheds will be erected
about 300 feet long, and here all pas
Senger trains will be IN waiting the
usual time before the starting. In
cold weather the coaches will be
supplied with steam heat from the
building which, by the way is to have
every convenience in this line. This
departure is something new for
Wheeling, as no steam is supplied at
the other depots outside of what is
obtained from the locomotives. A
pretty flower bed will be made at the
entrance on Eighteenth street as soon
as the weather permits, and this is an
other improvement that will add much
to the appearance of the place. Other
important changes are contemplated,
and if carried out, Wheeling will soon
have a depot that will be a credit to
any big city.

There was a further substantial in
crease in membership in Wheeling
Lodge No. IS, B. P. o. Elks, at a meet
ing held last night in the handsome
new quarters of the organization in
the Rogers block, on Main street.
Nine names were added to the roll.
The boom in Wheeling lodge has
brought its membership very close to
the two hundred mark, and many old
members are being reinstated. The
gentlemen who watched the frolics OF
the lodge goat, and incidentally under
went torture of varying kinds and
degrees, last night, were D. w. Baird,
of Wellsburg; Ed. Baldwin, ]. j. Beu-
ter, John Ehrle, R. E. Schubart, c. V.
Snodgrass, H. H. Marsh, Charles Zu-
lauf, and John w. Kemple.
What transpired in the lodge room
while these gentlemen were being in
Quoted into the mysteries of the or
der, is as a matter of course, close
secret, but there were divers outward
manifestations of inward agony which
did not escape the eyes of the news
paper reporters, when the doors we'e
thrown open. During the business ses-
sion, the coming Oriental street fair
was under consideration, and various
ideas and plans were brought out tv
the members. It was decided to send
the chairmen of the twelve committees
heretofore appointed, out to Canton,
Ohio, where a similar enterprise was
conducted very successfully by the
Elks in that city.
The committee will consist OF
Frank G. Caldwell, Geo. w. LUZ,
John G. Hoffman, Jr., Charles A.
Feinler, w. H. Manning, Louis Gund-
ling, c.. R. Tracy, Henry Bieberson,
John Murphy, Emanuel Hanauer,
Thomas O'Brien, Charles Schmidt, and
Robert Hill. Most of these gentlemen
will leave for Canton this morning.
They will be accompanied by Archi-
tect Fred Faris, who will endeavor to
get some ideas for the construction Of
booths, buildings, etc.
Hon. Harry W. Mcclure, prominent
throughout West Virginia as spell
binder and statesman, arrived home
from Charleston in time to preside over
the social session. Tables were ar
ranged in U shape and a deectabe
luncheon was spread. The Rev. l.. w.
Doggett asked the blessing. When Mr..
Mcclure raped for order, he named
Geo. w. Lutz as officer of the night,
and instructed the door-keeper to al
low no person to leave until the seS-
sion closed. Thos. O'Brien, Jr, acted
as secretary and treasurer. His duty
consisted in collecting fines from the
members who committed such offenses
as sobriety, late hours, lack of dignity,
and the like.
With Harry Mcclure as the presiding
officer, it is hardly necessary to add
that the fun was fast and furious. The
new members and a number of others
made speeches, told stories, or sang
songs. Instrumental music was fur
nished by quartette consisting of
Louis Swarzbach, Conrad Wassman,
Louis Gebhart, and Archie Lyons.
