Manufacture of Iron and Steel Seems

DULUTH, Mimi, March 29.-It looks as
if what had long. been hoped for by the
people at the head of the lakes had come
to pass. that is a beginning In the man.
ufacture of iron and steel at Duluth and
Superior. A contract transferring the
West Duluth blast furnace to the Thomas
Furnace company, of Ohio, was closed
yesterday in New York. and that alone
means the manufacture Of about 5000
tons of pig iron in Duluth.
Then the Cast Iron Foundry company
the pipe truSt-has bought the plant OF
the Wisconsin Steel company, of Superb
or, and Is looking for iron ore mines.
with view to opening the foundry of
the plant on large scale and supplying
it with pig made at home from It's own
mines. The trust is credited by men on
the inside with the intention of enlarging
the works very materially and making
them one Of the chief pipe works of the
West.
The Thomas Furnace company has sa-
cured five acres of water front land ad-
ditional to the forty acres that goes with
the furnace at West Duluth, and 1t Is
generally supposed that it will enlarge
the plant by the addition Of some steel
making processes, as we'll as make the
capacity of the furnace considerably
greater than it is. This furnace has a
present capacity for some $1,000 tons Of
pig iron q year, and Is rs feet high. with

THINK THIS OVER.
A Rational Remedy for II National
Trouble.

Trouble.
To say that hemorrhoids or the dis
ease commonly known as piles is a ma
tional disease may be slightly overdrawn
but 1t is quite certain that at least one
in every four persons is so afflicted
Because it is common and not immedi-
ately fatal many suffer for years without
giving the trouble any medical atten-
tion.
Moreover, the rather general impress
sion that surgical operation is the only
cure has much to do with delaying at
tention until the disease becomes deep
seated and chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than a
surgical operation, it cures without pain,
It causes no detention from business and
the cost IS trifiing, all druggists selling
II at so cents per package.
The astringent effects of the acids in
the Pyramid Pile Cure speedily contract
and restore to their natural condition the
blood vessels of the affected parts and
as 1t quickly 6iSsolves in the rectum the
remedy soothes and heals the irritated
surfaces, and these two things are the
only necessary requirements for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liability to chronic liberation of the
rectal tissue and nervous exhaustion
from loss of sleep and attendant main
and irritation. All these symptoms the
Pyramid quickly relieves, and the fact
mat 1t is. the most popular and widely
SOLD OF any pile cure is quite conclusive
evidence of. thorough merit. If you suf-
fer from bleeding, Itching or protrud-
ing piles, try fifty-cent package to-
night Ask your druggist for Pyramid
Pile Cure
