A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES M OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED By A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

A Remarkable Number of Cures Made b
the Pyramid Pile Cure.
About one person in every four
suffers from some form Of rectal
disease. The most common and
annoying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the
parts affected.
The usual treatment has been
some simple ointment or salve
which sometimes give temporary
relief, but nothing like a perma-
nent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for
itching piles yet discovered is the
Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for
itching piles, but for every other
form of piles, blind, bleeding OF
protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the contin-
ued use for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors
or the small parasites which cause
the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time
supposed that the remarkable re-
lief afforded by the Pyramid Pile
Cure was because it was supposed
to contain cocaine, opium or sim
liar drugs, but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the
remedy showed it to be absolutely
free from any cocaine, opium, OF in
fact any poisonous, injurious drugs
whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure
extensively recommended by ply
sicians, because it is so safe, so
prompt in the relief afforded and
SO far as known the only positive
cure for piles except a surgical
operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile
Cure has become the best known,
the safest and the most extensive
ly sold of any pile cure before the
public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it
at so cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Mar
shall, Mich, for book on cause and
cure of piles and also hundreds of
testimonials from all parts of the
United States.
If suffering from any form Of
piles ask your druggist for a pack
age of Pyramid Pile Cure and try
it tonight.

barges that was sunk so low as to take
water from the top, was boarded about

they can be extracted from the vise-like

ARTILLERY FIRE S|LENCED.
Utah Battery Trains Its Guns on
the insurgents.
FEW SHOTS WERE SUFFICIENT,
Belief That the Natives Are Planning
an Attack on Gen. McArthur's Division
-Gen. otis Plans, as Understood by
the War Department.

Manila, Feb. 21.-In the city here
matters arc progressing much as usual.
The military authorities are keeping
a very close watch upon the natives,
and whatever apprehensions were felt
by foreigners of danger from this quar-
ter have now been dismissed.
Acting under orders from Gen. Otis,
commander of the American forces
here, four companies of the California
regiment and two companies of the
Idaho regiment, who had been occupy
ing the village OF Guadalupe, retired
to San Pedro Macati The enemy APP
parently took this move for a re-
treat, and opened a very feeble attack.
For the first time since the battle Of
Feb. 8, when they were severely pun
ished, the rebels used artillery. They
fired two shots at the Americans, both
of which fell short.
The Utah battery replied to the fire.
and few shots had the effect of 81
lencing the enemy's guns.
The unusual number of natives who
have been seen to the north causes 4
suspicion that they are planning an at
tack on Gen. MacArthur's division.
The fleet of Admiral Dewey has been
by the gunboat Helena,
which arrived from the United Statcc.

PLANS OF GEN. OTIS.
Waiting for AGuinaido's Army to Re-

Waiting for AGuinaldo's Army to Re-
organize and for More Troops.
Washington, Feb. 81. 49, Maj. Gen.
Otis did not advise the war depart
ment Sunday about the situation at
Manila, but he sent a list of ten casual
ties, not previously reported. resulting
from the several actions in the vicin-
ity of Manila during the past week
While the department has not been
fully informed by Gen. Otis as to his
plans, it is supposed here that he is
waiting until the scattered remnants
Of Aguinaldos army are reorganized,
so that another telling blow can be
struck by the Americans.
1t is realized here that Gen. Otis has
not enough men to engage in gen.
eral campaign with the object of hunt
ing down the Filipinos and crushing
the uprising, but it is expected that as
soon as the re-enforcements now on
their way to him reach Manila he will
begin aggressive operations extending
many miles beyond the capital. More
than 5000 regular troops are on the
way to Manila, thus giving Gen. Otis
an effective force OF about %, 900.
He has informed the war depart
ment that if these troops were at Ma
Mia he could crush the instruction
or effectually prevent any further re-
sistance to American authority. 1t
may be anticipated, therefore, that
Gen. Otis will resume operations about
March 10, with the expectation of put
ting an end to the outbreak early in
April These operations extend only
to the island Of Luzon, but no great
amount of trouble is likely to occur,
according to the opinion held here, in
the other islands.

The National Carbon Company was
organized during January under
the laws of New Jersey. with a capital
of $10,O00,OO0, $4,500,O00 of which is
in Z per cent non-cumulative pre-
ferred stock and S5,5OO,OOO in common
stock. The corporation will absorb
the principal manufacturers of carbon
supplies, particularly electric light car
bons, carbon brushes for motors and
oiectrolytic carbons for all varieties Of
smelling purposes. Arthur ]. Eddy Of
Chicago, who was prominent in the or
ganization Of the American Linseed
Company recently, is the promoter Of
the enterprise, and Chicago capital is
interested. These companies are said
to include the entire active carbon in
dustry of the United States and three
quarters Of the carbon industry of the
world. In addition to the United
States industries the new company will
own half interest in the Ottawa Car
bon Company of Ottawa, Canada,
which company controls the carbon in.

The Americanization of Puerto Rico
is in an encouragingly progressive
state. The inhabitants seem to well
come and appreciate all measures de-
signed to further their social and civic
well-being. 1t is almost pathetically
suggestive that a people so long under
the domination Of Spanish law, in
whose methods of Jurisprudence ha-
beas corpus had no place, and of whose
gracious meaning they were practically
ignorant, should request its application
throughout the island Much to their
rejoicing, the system of direct taxa
ton is to be abolished. Under Spanish
rule, its workins were bitterly oppres-
sive and the visit of the tax collector
was the prelude of cruelty and despoil-
ment.

In common with many other trades,
the silk industry terminated a pros
porous year ON December 81 last. Com
menting Oh the conditions governing
the trade, the Silk Association Of
America, through its secretary, has
this to say: Rising prices in the
raw-silk markets of the world have
produced a decided rise in the prices
of raw silk in this market during the
last thirty days. This naturally nee
essitates a rise in all silk products, and
some of the branches of the trade have
formally agreed in an advance Of
prices. In this country at present
there are $4,000 power looms for broad
silk weaving and 5000 for ribbon
weaving. During the year there have
been number of additional plants es-
tablished in this country by foreign
firms, and naturally there has been
some extension of facilities by our old
er manufacturers. While additional
facilities of manufacture is a crafty
ing omen, 1t also carries with 1t an APP
prehension of facilities unduly in
creased. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that overproduction is about as bad
as a sluggish market-in fact, it con-
duces to it.

To Adjust Cuban FRANCHISES.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The commits
sion named by the president to consid-
er questions pertaining to the civil af-
fairs in Cuba and Porto Rico is busily
engaged in completing preparations
to leave for the islands, the purpose
being to sail next week or early in
the following week. Henry G. Curtis,
a member of the commission, has not
arrived from Iowa, but Gen. Kennedy
and Charles w. Watson, the other
members, are proceeding with the
work. The chief questions before them
are those of taxation, public schools,
public highways and franchises for pri-
Yate enterprises.
