Both parties have made their nomi-
nations, and with the coming of the
new year the municipal campaign
wakes warm. The new factor, the
Committee of One Hundred, appears to
be a disturbing element, and neither
side can figure out just what effect it
will have. The committees endorse
ment does not appear to be a vote
maker, but members Of the committee
say it will be a stronger factor for a
candidate in the general election than
at the primaries. The situation is so
complicated that Republicans admit
that it is uncertain, and do not claim
success with the same degree of conf
dence as heretofore II the activity
of the Republican nominees on the
head of the ticket is an indication Of
the way they feel about the election,
all the candidates have a good chance
of success.

such is true, and more than one person

THE ONE SURE WAY.
To Cure every FORM Of Pile

10 Cure Every Form OF Plies.
The only sure way to cure every
form of piles is to use remedy
like the Pyramid Pile Cure, which
is applied directly to the parts af-
fected, and its wonderful healing
effects are apparent from the first
application because its medicinal
properties are rapidly absorbed
right where needed, by the deli
cate tissues and sensitive mem
branes of the rectum. The cure is
natural and easy and almost be-
fore the patient is aware of it,
every trace of piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure has been so uni
formly successful
1t is in suppository form, applied
at night directly to the diseased
parts, where it is most needed and
not by the round about way OF the
stomach nor the harsh, barbarous
method OF surgical operation.
Direct applications to the seat of
disease is the only common sense
cure, and this is fully accomplish
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony of
thousands is worth anything then
no sufferer should delay in giving
this splendid remedy at least
trial as it costs but so cents at
any drug store, and is guaranteed
absolutely safe and free from
opiates or cocaine SO commonly
found in so-called pile cures.
Nearly every druggist has some
favorite pile cure on which he can
make a larger profit than he can
on the Pyramid and often times
TO substitute, but when it is re-
membered that the Pyramid Pile
Cure is the only remedy for piles
that has a national reputation and
is sold by every druggist in the
United States and Canada, it means
something; it means that no rem
edy could do this unless it possess
ed positive unmistakable merit.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has cur
ed thousands of sufferers from the
different forms Of the disease,
whether itching, bleeding or pro-
truding piles.

he was tried in the Circuit Court of Pres
ton county and sentenced to serve a term
of years in the penitentiary at Mounds
VILE Howard was probably a member
of an organized gang, for he had CORE
spondence with number of crooks while
he was confined in the Preston county
Jail, and to some of these he likely di-
vulged the hiding place of the gems.
When he was received at the peniten-
tiary he was stripped of the clothing
which he wore and attired in the prison
garb. When he arrived he wore a heavy
silk chest protector, which he requested
that he might retain, saying that his
lungs We're weak. The prison authorities
granted his request and ne wore it until
his death, which occurred suddenly when
his term was about half completed. His
clothing, including the chest protector,
were thrown in the furnace and burned,
this being the disposition made of the
clothing of dead convicts
Howard's wife, who resided in an east
ern city, was notified of his death and
wired to hold the body until her arrival,
but It was impossible TO do so. and it
was inferred in the prison cemetery.
which adjoins the penitentiary. In a few
days the faithful wife arrived at Mounds
vile and said that she intended to re-
move the body OF her husband 10 her
home. She inquired if the chest protect
or had been buried with him When in
formed that it had been burned she broke
down and wept bitterly, saying that it
was a present from herself and she hoped
TO have had it as a keepsake, but she
finally said that the diamonds had been
concealed in it. She DID not take the
body back to her home, but it was taken
up at her request and buried in a lot
which she purchased in Mt Rose ceme-
terry.
There are number of people who think
that the diamonds were raked out in the
ashes, but the heat was probably so great
that they were consumed entirely.
