THE QUESTION SOLVED,
Or How to Make Bad Situation
Worse"

Or How to Make Bad Situation
Worse"
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: A brilliant idea, and a wonder
full exhibition of wisdom" has been
displayed in the suggestion that the
present costly and bad method of TAX
ing care of city prisoners be made
worse and more expensive, by attempt
ing TO make out of a building, never
designed for the purpose, a workhouse,
for the reason that it happens that
the city owns it, and It further hap
pens to be situated alongside of a
railroad track. 1t would occur to the
veriest novice in business that if the
city owned any property that it had
no use for, that it could be sold and
the money properly used, for the many
purposes that urgently need atten-
ton; and if there be none such, then
IN reducing the public debt.
As to the location of the proposed
building being situated alongside of a
railroad track. and for that reason
stone could be hauled BY cars to the
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-03-18

and then distributed to wagons and
hauled again to points where the city
intended to repair the streets, as it is
impossible to haul it up the grade on
Eighth street. By the time the stone
is put down its actual cost will amount
to about five cents for every lump as
big as your fist.
But that is nothing to what it
would cost the city by the time the
building is completed. Nearly all the
residents who would be directly in
commoded by this proposed outrage,
own their homes. If this scheme goes
through the depreciation in the value
of property would amount to just about
One-half it's present value. By the time
the city was finished with a series of
damage suits that is bound to follow,
the cost of building would amount to
considerable. The city is public in
private property in such an outrageous
manner. Besides having the residents
in this section exposed to the elevating
sight of seeing the interesting creatures
that are sent to the work house being
hauled by in that BLACK Maria" the
Mayor intends making hospital of
the building for the tramps and gen.
eral scum that frequentS the basement
of the City Building in cold weather,
so that they can be turned loose in the
morning on the community to beg their
breakfasts. Besides, think of what in
teresting conversation must be heard
from the convicts breaking stone in
the yard by these people whose prop
erty line rests on the proposed work
house yard, and the sights the residents
generally would be subjected to.
"The proper site for a work house
would be out around the hill some
place, or even over near Manchester,
where it would not be a nuisance to
anybody. AS for utilizing the brick in
lie water WI hS oldth lOI llS
cells, the present price of brick is so
low that in the long run it would cost
the city more. Any way believe the
city water works is making use of this
building at the present time.-I most
emphatically state that should this pro-
ject be carried through a number Of
Wheeling's most influential and law
abiding citizens would move outside
the corporation along the National
road. The tendency of late, anyway,
of fashionable residents is in that di-
rection."
Superintendent Oliver, of the water
works, stated last night that the old
water works buildings were used as a
central station. The line gang make
their headquarters there during the
day. 1t is also used for a store house
for joints. etc, used on the line, and
as stable for the teams. If the build
ings are converted into work house
it will necessitate the city's going to
the expense of providing a new central
station

BLEEDING PILES.

And all other forms of this COM
mon and often dangerous disease
readily cured without pain or in
convenience.
Thousands of men and women
are afflicted with some sort OF
piles, without either knowing the
exact nature of the trouble, or
knowing it, are careless enough to
allow it to run without taking the
simple means offered for (. radical
cure.
The failure of salves and ONT
ments to permanently cure piles
has led many to believe the only
cure to be a surgical operation.
Surgical operations are danger
GUS to life and moreover not often
entirely successful and at this time
are no longer used by the best ply
sicians or recommended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure
any case of piles, whether blind,
bleeding or protruding, is to use the
Pyramid Pile cure, composed OF
healing vegetable oils, and abso-
lutely free from mineral poisons
and opiates. The following letter
from a Pittsburg gentleman, Sc
we're sufferer from bleeding piles,
gives some idea of the prompt eff
fectual character of this pile cure.
He writes:
l take pleasure writing these
few lines to let you know that 1
did not sleep for three months ex-
cept for a short time each night
because of a bad case of bleeding
piles. l was down in bed and the
doctors did me no good. A good
brother told me of the Pyramid
Pile Cure and l bought from my
druggist three fifty cent bottles.
They cured me and l will soon be
able to go to my work again.
WILLIAM HANDSCHU,
46 St, Cotton Alley, below Butler
ST. Pittsburg Pa.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is, not
only the safest and surest remedy
for piles, but is the best known
and most popular. Every physi-
clan and druggist in the country
knows it and what it will do.
Send to Pyramid Co., Marshall,
Mich, for little book on cause and
cure of piles, describing all forms
of piles and the proper treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at all
drug stores at so cents per pack
age.

Is 1t Malaria or Alum?
Popular Science Monthly

popular Science Montnly.)
Longuor, loss of appetite, indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms of a physiological condition
termed malaria" All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect OF
the use of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question about
the poisonous effect of alum upon the
system. 1t obstructs digestion, pros
trates the nerves, coaguIates and de-
vitalizes the blood. All this has been
made clear, thanks to physicians,
boards of health, and food commits
sions. So highly injurious to the
health of the community does the emf
nent head Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, DR.. Barker, consider the alum
baking powders, that he says their
sale should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while Of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is
necessary to keep SO dangerous an
element from the food of her family
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about As cents
to so cents pound. Therefore, if you
are paying much less, something is
wrong; if you are paying rs cents or
less per pound, the powder is certainly
made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.

An attempt TO break from the Hancock
county jail WAS discovered Dy Sher1u
Hooper this week. The prisoners had
dug through three tiers of brick, lsaving
only one more between them and liberty.
The prisoners implicated were William
Albert, the colored man who was con-
yicted of swindling the Bar Harbor Chin
ese laundryman; j. G. johnson, the al
legged publishers agent. who tried his
game on Deputy Sheriff Gem, of Bucks
port, and Wood" Webster, who was sent
up from Deer Isle for assault. All were
serving short sentences. As result OF
their attempt to escape they are now
deprived of the fresdom Of the corridor,

A funeral by telephone Is alleged to be

comes, a citizen Of Eustis had died and his
family desired that Elder Jscquith Of
Kim bde n. officiate, as he was an old
scboolinate OF the deceased. Owing to
bad roads the Clergyman was unable to
roach the place, he bsing unable to get
farther than North New Portland. But
the superip endent Of the telephone line
which connects with the Dead River re-
RIop. happened to be guest at the North
New Portland hotel and he came to the
rescue; called up the Eustis station, or
dered an instrument transferred to the
house where the funeral was held. and
while the clergyman spoke into the
phone, a good deacon transferred his
words from the instrument to the people
assem- bled st the house of mourning, 80
miles away.
