thought If II can be put off until a
later date conditions probably would
be more favorable. Mr.. Fox said one
reason for king the date so early
was so as TO have the fusion conven'
ton at least month in advance OF the
national democratic convention, 1t be-
ing supposed this would be held early
in lime. But, as now this has been
fixed for July 4, it would leave ample
time for the populists to hold theil
convention as late as the LIST of June.

Eagle Pass, Tex, Feb. 27.-By an
explosion in Dolch coal mines near
this city yesterday three miners
Jesus Martinez, Antonio Garcia and
Francisco Gonzales--received fatal in
iuries and number of Others were
severely burned. The men who had
been lowered into the mine had not
taken the precaution to have a gas
tester with them. The explosion
which followed their entrance envel-
oped them in flames, with the result
that the miners named will die from
their injuries and the Others will be
manned for life. Dolch mine has but
one shaft and it is miracle that hun
dreds of miners entombed escaped

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator tai
linger has given notice In the senate
of his intention to offer an amend
ment to the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill providing
for the retirement Of government en-
ployes in the civil service. This queS'
ton of civil service retirement has
been the subject Of much discussion'
and strong opposition has been man'-
tested toward it, principally because
of the large appropriation it would
require, as shown by the amount cur
ried by the English retirement '"nd'
Senator Gallinger's amendment avoids
this objection, however, and there Is
good prospect of its being favorab'y
considered The amendment provides
"That, beginning with the first day
Of July, 1900, two per centum OF t'ic
salary of every employc in the c'aSS''
fled civil service of the government

Quoted from his or her monthly pay,

the money so deposited shall conSll-
tute a fund which shall be known as

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field to Itself

A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are so many
blood purifiers nerve tonics" and
medicines for every i'll except one Of the
most common and annoying diseases,
viz, piles.
He replied. there are two principal rea-
sons: First, physicians and people in
general have thought for years that the
only permanent cure for piles was a
surgical operation, and that medicinal
preparations were simply pollatives and
not cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
Imaginary trouble. A sufferer from piles
is very much aware of the fact and for
this reason the few pile salves and ONT
ments, etc, have been short lived be-
cause the patient very soon discovered
their worthlessness
He continues: However there is new
pilesremedy which, judging from its pop
ularity and extent of its sale, will soon
take the place of all other treatment for
piles It has certainly made thousands
Of cures in this obstinate disease and its
merit, repeatedly tested, has made it
famous among physicians and wherever
introduced. The remedy is sold by drug
gists 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 interference with daily occupa-
ton.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that it contains no cocaine
nor opium and is absolutely safe to use
at any time.
One Of the suppositories Is applied at
night, is absorbed and the cure is nat
ural and painless.
It permanently cures itching, bleeding
or protruding piles and Is the only rem
edy except a dangerous surgical opera
ton that will do so.
All druggists sell a complete treatment
Of the suppositories for 50 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.
