DOES THE WORK.
No Surgical Operation. no Pain. Trihing Ex-
pense-A Simple. Harmless Remedy. but
Does the Work.

There are some people who have
piles as frequently and regularly as
other people have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra eXertion, as in lift
ing. will produce them, and, in fact,
will often appear without any appar-
ont provocation. Piles, however, are
much more serious than a cold. as the
tendency is always to grow worse un-
I'll the trouble becomes deep seated
and chronic. or develops into some
fatal rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes a permanent
cure and that is the we'll known
pyramid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple.
harmless vegetable ingredients. but
combined SO effectively and act 50
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form of piles whether itching.
blind. bleeding or protruding.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
pile Cure has proven to be the only
certain cure except a surgical opera
ZION. and its advantages over an oper-
alton are many, as it is painless,
causes no delay or interference with
daily occupation, and last but not
least it is cheaper than any surgical
operatiOn could possibly be.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile
cure will not reach are so few that
physicians are doing away with opera
tons for piles and depending upon this
cheap but effective remedy to accom-
plish a complete cure. and it never dis
appoints except in cases beyond the
reach of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
bv the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall,
Mich. and for sale by druggists every
where at 80 cents per package. Each
package contains a treatise on cause
and cure Of piles. together with testi-
moniaIs from every section of this
country.

FROM The TRkNsvAAL.
Reported Capture Of Ladysmiih and Coienso
Doubted at London.

London, Nov. 3.-While the wires to
Ladysmith are cut. the optimism of
the war office officials, yesterday even
ing. in refusing to believe that Lady
smith was completely invested or CO.
lenso captured appears to be justified
This morning. il was asserted that the
railroad was still open, though traffic
had been conducted with the greatest
caution. What. however. was only n
rumor, yesterday evening may. il is
claimed. be reality AT any moment. as
Gen. Joubert with large and Won
derfully mobile force is expected to de-
tach several thousand and make a dash
at the railroad.
Rumors of all kinds are springing up
here. 1t is even asserted that Gen.
White has been compelled to fall back
on PietermaritZburg. leaving his
wounded behind. Probably such ru-
mors have their origin in the recollec-
ton of the ominous silence which pre-
coded the evacuation of Dundee But
il is asserted that the conditions are al
tered and the British guns now seem
more than equal to the artillery Of the
Beers and thus enhancing the difficulty
of assault on the British lines.
y Cape Town dispatch reports a re-
pulse of the Beers by the British, yes
terday. While there is a habit here to
assume the news of Boer victories en-
mating from the continent cannot be
true. because of the censorship. the
fact is forgotten that foreign govern
ments are fully privileged to send and
receive cipher messages to and from
their representatives in South Africa.
Belated dispatches from the camp at
Ladysmith add little information re
garding Mondays fighting. except the
estimates Of the Boer losses. These are
now said to be % killed and 200 wound
ed mostly victims of the artillery
shells. which have wrought such great
havoc that it is said Gen. Joubert. the
B0er commanderin -chef. has written
Il letter to Gen. White. the British COM
mander. protesting against the use of
lydite.
According to all accounts the pres
ence at Ladysmth of the long range
naval guns and the splendid shooting
of the bluejackets have materially i'm
proved the position of the British. a
temporary armistice was declared,
Monday evening. to allow the collec-
ton of the dead and wounded.
A dispatch from Kimberley dated
Oct %. says all the wounded are doing
We'll Small bodies of Beers. about 400
strong. We're then frequently seen.
They apparently come from Mafeking
for the purpose either of assisting in
the attack on Kimberley or to resist
the advance of re-inforcements.

Germany Scores One on London.

Berlin. Nov. 3.-The statement of the
British secretary of state for war, the
Marquis of Lansdowne. at the Cutters
feast in Sheffield. yesterday, that the
military preparations in the difficulty
with the Transvaal could not be kept
abreast Of the diplomatic negotiations
has evoked severe comment on the
part Of the German Press. The
Neueste Nachrichten says: This as
sertion will amaze the world and es-
pecially Germany, for it implies either
that the army and diplomacy of Great
Britain are unequally balanced or that
both are inefficient. Perhaps England's
experience in South Africa will suffice
TO bring home to the national instinct
Of Britons the necessity for a radical
reorganization of the British military
system"

The opposition to the issuance of
the railroad bonds is very strong in
some quarters and the opponents are
very much in earnest. They have
employed Coz and Baker to represent
them. Mr.. Baker appeared before the
court on Monday afternoon to speak
against the submission of the ques-
tion. He made very strong plea
against the matter but the court had
given its promise and the speech did
not avail to defeat the submission.
He was answered by Mr.. Sturgiss
at the conclusion Of the talk and the
court then submitted the question
modifying the order as first proposed
to some extent.
Mr.. Baker was seen in regard to
the matter on Tuesday morning and
he stated that the plan would be
fought in the courts by himself and
his partner, That the people whom
he represented were very much opposed
to the plan and that they would carry
the matter to the supreme court be
fore the fight was given up in case
the election carried. Otherwise it
would be dropped as there would be
no reason to take any further steps,
