THE ONE SURE WAY
To Cure Ever Form of Piles.

The only sure way to cure every form
of piles, is to use remedy like the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, which is applied directly
TO the parts affected, and its wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the first
application because its medicinal proper
ties are rapidly absorbed right where
needed. by the delicate tissues and sensi-
tive membranes of the rectum The cure
is natural and easy and almost before
the patient is aware of it, every trace OF
piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been so uniformly success
full.
1t is in suppository form, applied at
night directly to the diseased parts, where
1t Is most needed and not by the round
about way of the stomach nor the harsh
barbarous method of surgical operation.
Direct applications 10 the seat Of dis
ease is the only common sense cure, and
this is fully accomplished 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 a trial as il costs but so cents at
any drug store and is guaranteed abso-
lutely safe and free from Opiates or CO.
caine so commonly found in so-called pile
cures

profit than he can on the Pyramid and
oftentimes to substitute, but when 1t is
remembered that the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is the only remedy for piles that has
national reputation and is sold by every
druggist in the United States and Canada,
it means something; it means that no
remedy could do this unless it possessed
positive unmistakable merit.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has cured thou
sands of sufferers from the different
forms of the disease, whether itching,
bleeding or protruding piles.

CFroIn The seattle Post-IntelIigencer.)

(From the Seattle Post-Intellaencer)
The earliest recollection of sturgeon
fishing on the Columbia River was in the
year 1853 by Indians near and at the
mouth of the Cowlitz river. Their proce-
dure was to paddle around in their ca
noes. While one padded another had a
long, stout pole. with hook attached to
| ii, with which he kept on feeling on the
bottom of the river, and every little while
he would hook a sturgeon. At this time
sturgeon had no commercial importance
except for Indian diet, although some
cheap restaurants would buy them for
from 25 to so cents; some of them would
weigh from 100 TO 800 pounds and would
serve as Albany beef In later years,
when salmon canning commenced on the
Columbia, the sturgeon were a great an
noyance to the gill net fishermen as they
| would become entangled in the net and
would wind themselves up. entangling the
nets so that II would take at least day
TO unwind the net. The sturgeon were
destroyed as rapidly as the fishermen
| could find them.
Afterward sturgeon attained commercial
Importance by Eastern buyers buying and
freezing them and using the spawn for
caviar. Prices advanced from one-twen-
tieth OF a cent a pound to cents and
more. the caviar to 4 and ; cents, and
as high as 10 cents. Today it is said to
De worth % cents a pound. Win sucn
prices. sturgeon soon became an article
OF considerable commercial Importance,
and the demand provoked an indiscrimi-
nate fshing for them, so that today stur-
geon are almost extinct IN the Columbia
River. At the last session of the Oregon
Legislature laws were passed for the pro-
lection OF sturgeon and 10 regulate the
time of fishing for the same. The most
destructive means used in catching OF
sturgeon was Chinese lines with hooks.
This was a gang Tor successlon) Of lines,
one above another. with hooks suspended
on them so that sturgeon could not pass
through them without being hooked in the
body. The law prevents the use Of this
appliance altogether. and infiets fine Of
500 for anybody found using it. No stur-
geon less than four feet long is allowed 10
be caught. and IL caught In nets wheels,
or any appliance. II must be carefully dis
cntangled and put back into the water.

In 1882 President Arthur vetoed the
River and Harbo1 bill because it carried a
total of Sl2. .O006OO. which he regarded as
excessive Congress promptly passed the
bill over the veto. Since that time there
has been an average OF one River and Har-
Dor bill passed every two years.
Mr.. Cleveland allowed one TO become a
law without his signature but no Presi-
dent has ever tried since Ar;hur's time
to override the will of Congress in the
matter Of such appropriations. Year after
year the totals have increased. until at
the beginning of the twentieth century the
House Of Representatives proposes to au-
thori2e an expenditure of s60 000 900 for
river and harbor improvements upward Of
one-thlrd of which will be available during
the next fiscal year. and the remainder to
be expended under the continuous contract

THE CITY HELD RESPONSIBLE.
supreme Courts Opinion in n Suit
Against the New York Corporation.


The Supreme Court today announced its
against the city of New York for damages
caused his vessel the arkentine Linda
/ Park, by the fireboat New Yorker while
entering the slip to fight a warehouse fire.
! The decision IN effect holds the city re-
sponsible because of negligence in navi-
eating the hreboat, thus reversing the de-
cree of the Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case has been pending since 1898,
when Workman brought suit in the United
States Court for the Southern district Of
New York, against the mayor, aldermen,
and commonwealth OF the city, subse
quently adding the fire department, and
James A Gallagher, who was in charge OF
the fireboat at the time of the accident.
The court entered a decree against all the
defendants except the fire department but
this was reversed by the Circuit Court of
Appeals. which ordered the dismissal OF
the libel against the city.
The appeal was fled in the Supreme
Court of the United State in May, 1895.
has been argued twice and for two years
has been under consideration by the JUS
tees. The opinion announced by Justice
White was by bare majority, as Jus
tices Gray, Peckham, Shiras, and Brewer
dis5eTEed. The decision of the lower
court, excepting the fire department from
the suit on the ground that under that
law it was merely department of the
city and not a corporation, was affirmed
by the court.
Taking up the plea of the city that it
was not liable because the accident was
due to the excitement of the moment and
in view of the extent of not only possible
but probable spread of the fire, was done
under pressure of necessity, the opinion
says such plea would result in the self
destructive assumptions that the mari
time law, In order to render the person
and property of the individual safe, in
case of an emergency arising from the
happening of fire, caused both per-
son and property of the individual to be
unsafe. since without necessity ard
through negligence. injury could be in
ficted or destruction be brought about,
without power in the admiralty courts, to
redress the wrong. although the wrong
doer were amenable to their jurisdiction.
The court also holds that the city was not
exempt from liability as claimed, be-
cause of the public nature of the service
in which she was engaged at the time
of the accident, which had no foundation
in the maritime law.
