Major Lee suggested that the witness be
asked as 10 whether he had any experience
with process beef. He said that before he
sailed from Tampa Mr.. Smith the repre-
sentative Of Armour & Co, gave him
sample of beef which was not TO be sub
jeeted TO refrigeration. He did not know
how this beef had been treated. IL was PUT
aboard the Orizaba and the witness was
transferred to the Comal and he did not
know what became of this beef.
He did not ask as TO what process this
beef had been subjected 1t was sacked
that an observation be made as TO how
long il would last without refrigeration or
ice.
The witness did not know o: any OTTER
process beef. He did not recall having
sent fresh beef from Santiago to Alta
Songo or San Luis. He said that when he
reported 10 the Commissary General in
September he had told that officer that
the canned roast beef was the worst thing

matter.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of Sleeplessness That Can

One Cause of Sleeplessness That Can
BE Overcome.
Mr.. William Handschu, of Forty sixth st.
Cotton Alley Pittsburg, Pa, expresses
himself as follows regarding the new rem
edy for that common and obstinate disease,
piles: Il take pleasure in stating that
was so afflicted with piles that for three
months l got no regular sleep; l became
completely prostrated, the doctors did me
no good; my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles the Pyramid Pile Cure; l
purchased of my druggist three 50-cent
boxes and they completely cured me. / am
once more at work and but for this eX-
cellent remedy | would be on my back. l
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 profession as well as TO
thousands of sufferers from piles that it is
the safest and most effectual pile cure ever
offered to the public containing no opiates
or poisons of any kind, painless and con-
venient to handle, and being sold by drug
gists at so cents and 81 per box is within
the reach Of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have made
a complete cure or chronic cases that mad
not yielded to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the va
rious forms of piles. and it is a common
practice to use ointments, salves, and SIM
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all Of these Intellectual
remedies, and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble will make any mistake in
giving the Pyramid trial.
II in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble, send to The Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich, for valuable book on
piles, describing all forms of the disease
and describing 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.

Fort Smith, Ark, Feb. 2S.-Every coal
mine in Arkansas and the Indian Terri
tory will be closed down tomorrow if
the present programme of the miners and
operators is adhered to, and there is no
reason to show that any deviation from
this programme will occur. Over four
thousand miners are involved, and mines
supplying a large section of the South
west with fuel will be affected. coal
famine is sure to ensue, as the supply on
hand is small and will be speedily ex-
hausted. Already railroads are confiscat-
ing every car of coal that comes on their
tracks and keeping it for their own use.
Private dealers have been informed that
they can get no more coal until the trou-
Bile is settled. The situation is the most
alarming that has existed in this coal re-
gion in years. The operators refuse posi-
lively to consider the miners scale, and
the men yesterday declared that if tn cir
demands are not acceded to by Wednesday

features Of the market. The Federal Steel

traders seems to be in favor OF Federal
Steel stocks for the time being on account
Of the already large advance that has oc-
