CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles without one particle
of pain. This desirable point Is not OBJ
tanned by the use of injurious opiates
which simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves OF the parts and make matters
worse I'm the long run. But it is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while 1t thus gives immediate
relief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked. but radical cure
is rapidly accomplished
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this Is done without a par
ticle of pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind of treatment for piles
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is eNcruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid cure. neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapncss and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public 50 long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to allow
1t to be Classed with the many salves
suppositorieT, pills, etc, and you run
no risk in trying it. as is often the
case with untried preuarations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form OF piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., Of
Marshall, Mich, and sold by druggists
at 90 cents per package.

TEN PAGES TODAY,
CRITICISM OF THE PRESIDENT.

Despite the bluff and buster OF men
st. Louis Globe Democrat and Chicago
Times Herald, 1t must be evident 10 any
thinking man that President McKinley's
popularity is rapidly on the wane He is
losing friends In unexpected quarters.
For instance, here is an excerpt from
Harper's Weekly, one of the most in
auentlal newspapers In the country:
''Wc wonder II MI Mckinley knows what
some good men-not gold democrats or indie
Eendents, but old-umo republicans are say
ing OF him. They are saying that he has done
more harm to the country than MIR Bryal
could have done. No one can regret more
than ourselves that this is fact We are not
prepared TO assent TO II, hut it is certainly
worthy Of Mr., MoKinley's serious reflection.
lie Is alternating the friends who made mis-
election possible and whose support may be
absolutely necessary to his party next year.
II will be remembered shat Harper's
Weekly supported Mckinley with great
enthusiasm in 1896, and that no newspa-
per was more able more persistent. more
vigorous in the fight against Bryan and
democracy.
Then. too, there is the New York Trl-
bune, considered the leading republican
newspaper OF the United States, which has
been unsparing in its criticisms OF the
president, and especially of his recent
civil service order in the interest of the
spoilsmen."
And the Portland oregonian, the Phil
adelphia Ledger, the Minneapolis Tri-
bune and other influential republican
ayers are d'sgusted with the glaring
Inconsistencies of the presidents foreign
policy; with his present system of i'm
peralism. egged on by the syndlcates,
trusts and money combines; with his sur
render to the enemies of the civil service
law. and with his general subservlency &c
Hannaism in It's worst form. Indeed. the
president is just now receiving the hardest
knocks from members of his own party,

AFTERMATH OF GREAT FLOOD
GOVERNOR HAS RECEIVED AN AID
OPTIONAL $l24O.
No Sorghum-No New Calls for
Assistance.

Austin, Texas, July 19.-The governor
this morning received $12i0 for the flood
sufferers, which included $1,000 from the
Savannah, Ga, Benevolent association.
From New Orleans he learned that the
first bale from Slnton had brought
$l26.o5 and that subscriptions are being
taken by three different associations to
buy it over several times yet before ship
ping.
The governor Is now being offered plenty
of pea and millet seed for replanting, but
is unable TO obtain sorghum in any GUAM
tity. Potatoes and corn are being OBJ
tanned, but not as much OF the latter as
is needed. No additional calls for assist
ance were received today and II appears
now that everybody is pretty well sup
Piled and that the occasion for outside
assistance Is about over. Captain SEEKER
quartermaster OF Rangers, was today or
dered to turn over to the local relief COM
mittee such supplies as he has left on hand
at Richmond and to return to Austin. One
OF the notable features of the relief work
undertaken by the governor was the
promptitude with which the North Texas
and Panhandle counties responded to his
call for aid. All Texas outside OF the al
hicted district did its duty, in fact.

These are staggering figures when
Massachusetts, Is compared with Louisiana
but Texas furnishes comparison that is
far more startling. In area Texas IL
thirty-two times larger than Massachu-
sets. This immense State raised ZOO, 0OO
bales of cotton last year, which sold for
$4,000 900. During that year Masaachu-
setts manufactured 100000 bales OF cot
ton. or q little more than one third OF
the entire crop raised In this State. For
this manufactured product she obtained

secured for the entire raw cotton raised in
