THEY COME OUT BOLDLY.
spiritualism at the Grand Opera
House.

At the Grand Opera House tomorrow
Sunday night. Sept. 80, the residents
of this city will have an opportunity of
seeing DIR. Jos. j. Carpenter, the cele
brated theosophist and spiritualistic
medium. 1t is claimed there is no man
who has excited more comment, and he
has been chosen by the adopts to at
tempt the conclusion of the work left
undone by Madam Blavatsixy, high
priestess of theosophy and mistress OF
the ocult science. Mr.. Carpenters tests
are made on fully lighted stage. and
delegates from the audience are always
invited to investigate. His methods and
his work have excited the attention Of
the most renowned thosophists and have
in some measure succeeded in elevating
the subject of spiritualism above Its
popular superstitions. His experiments
have met with the endorsement of the
Royal Society of London, England, and
of Ionides the Greek philosopher, and
many other distinguished persons and
societies. The phenomena that will be
produced in the light are slate writing,
spirit pictures. questions written and re-
tained by the interrigators will receive
fun and intelligent answers. A small
admission will be charged to defray ex-
DenEeS.

INSURGENTS TICKET.
Young Crowd in T.. A A. Evidently
Still IN the Field.

The younger members OF the Topeka
Athletic association have agreed upon a
ticket which they will support at the
annual election of officers Monday night
The management of the club for years
has been in the hands of board of di-
rectors made up of the older members
and j. w. Thurston has been president
The younger element desire more atten-
tion given to>baseball, football, wrestling
and boxing and will endeavor to elect
board of directors from their ranks who
will favor their ideas. The ticket put in
the field by the young crowd is as fol-
lows: J. W. Thurston, Clarence Smith,
c. c. Claudy, A. G. Kiingaman, w. d.
Goodwin, ]. B. Doncyson. c. H. Mat
thews, Chas. H. Stewart and B. F. Abb
meyer.
While Mr.. Thurston's name heads the
list it does not mean that the opposi
tion expects to re-elect him president as
the board of directors is chosen and then
elects it's own officers. At each election
for several years the younger crowd has
attempted to control the meeting but
with the exception of being able to elect
a few members of the board have failed
to carry out their ideas.

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 ill except one of the
most common and annoying diseases.
viz, piles
He replied, there are two principal
reasons: First, physicians and people in
general have thought for years that the
only permanent cure for piles was
surgical operation. and that medicinal
preparations were simply pallitfves and
not cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
imaginary trouble sufferer from
piles is very much aware of the fact
and ointments, etc, have been short
lived because the patient very soon dis
covered their worthlessness.
He continues: However. there is
it's popularity and extent of its sale, will
soon take the place of all other treat
ment for piles. 1t has certainly made
thousands Of cures in this obstinate dis
ease and its merit, repeatedly tested,
has made 1t famous among physicians
and wherever introduced. The remedy
is sold by druggists everywhere under
name of Pyramid Pile Cure.
It 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 occu-
patton.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that 1t 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.
1t permanently cures itching. bleed
ing or protruding piles and is the only
remedy except a dangerous surgical op-
Grafton that will do so.
All druggists sell a complete treat
men of the suppesitories for so cents and
the Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall,
Mich. will mail free to any address a
little book on cause and cure of piles
which may be of assistance in chornic
cases.
