WAR OF THE DEPEYSTERS.

POUGHKEEPSIE, \. Y. Sept 25.-The
family feud of the DePeysters. in which
Gen. J. Watts DePeyster and his son,
Col. J. Livingston DePeyster, have been
arrayed against each other for years in
the political and social life OF the village
OF Tfvoli. Dutchess county, broke out yes
terday with unprecedented vigor, result
ing in the interference OF the police.
Colonel DePeyster is president of the
village. He was elected six months ago
against the protests and influence of his
father.
For the past two DAYS the village of
Tivoli has been in darkness by reason of
the action OF General DePeyster III placing
a paddock on the door of the fire engine
house, where the kerosene oil used in
lighting the streets of the village is kept.
General DePeyster claims the right to
lock up the engine house because he built
it. He intended TO give it to the village
as present, but made a provision that
the voters would refrain from honoring
his son with nominations to office.
On learning of the trouble Colonel De-
Peyster consulted the corporation counsel.
Joseph Morchauser, on whose advice Chief
Of Police Joseph Malloy broke open the
door of the engine house and took PC sses-
sion on the ground of village protection.
This vigorous proceeding was not expected
by the general. He now talks of having

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has th'
Field TO Itself.

A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are SO many
blood purifiers, nerve tonics, and med-
icines for every i'll except one of the most
common and annoying diseases, viz. piles
He replied: There are two principal rea-
sens: First, physicians and people IN gem
eral have thought for years that the only
permanent cure for piles was surgical
operation, and that medicinal preparations
were simply palliative and not cure Tor
the trouble.
Another reason is that piles. unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
imaginary trouble. y sufferer from piles
is very much aware of the fact, and for
this reason the few pile salves and oint-
ments, etc, have been short lived because
the patient very soon discovered their
worthlessness.
He continues: However there is new
pile remedy which. judging from its popu-
Iarlty and extent OF its sale, will soon take
the place of all other treatments foG piles.
1t has certainly made thousands of cures
in this obstinate disease and its merit re-
peatedly tested has made il famous among
physicians and wherever introduced. The
remedy is sold by druggists everywhere
under name of Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is in convenient. suppository form,
composed of harmless astringents and
healing oils, gives immediate relief in all
forms of piles. and a radical cure without
resort to the knife and without pain or in
reference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for the rem
edy is that it contains no cocaine nor opium
and is absolutely safe 10 use a any time.
One Of the suppositories is applied at
night, IS absorbed, and the cure is natural
and painless.
It permanently cures itching, bleeding
or protruding piles and is the only remedy
except dangerous surgical operation that
will do so.
All druggists sell complete treatment
OF the suppostories for 80 cents. and the
Pyramid Drug Company, of Marshall,
Mich, Will mail free to any address a little
book on cause and cure of piles which may
be of assistance in chronic cases
