WILL HUNT AGUINALDO.
Reformed Filipino Chief Will
Start on the Trail.

Manila, Nov. 21.-GeneraI Macabolos,
the former Filipino chief, is prepared
to start in pursuit of Aguinaldo with
100 picked natives, supported by Amer
lean troops. Other ex-rebeI FTIipinos
will be used in campaigning in the
country. Their offers have not been
formally made yet, but they are ready
if the authorities will accept their serv-
ices.
Aguinaldo, it is supposed, Is in north
ern Luzon, according to statements
made by ex-rebel leaders now in Manila,
confirmed from other sources.
Aglipay, a renegade native priest, long
an insurgent leader in northern Luzon,
has written to friends in Manila, asking
fer election news and requesting to be
informed whether a decision has been
reached concerning the relations be-
tween church and state, and the DISPOSE
ton Of church properties. The replies
sent him contain the information that
church and state will be separate and
that entire religious freedom viii be al
lowed.

CRUEL METHODS
Of Treating Piles and Rectal Dis
eases.

The cid method of treating piles by the
knife, by ligature or dilation, besides
causing intense pain and frequently col
lapse and death are now known to be
worse than useless as far as actually
curing the trouble IS concerned
Derangement of the liver, and other
Intervals organs as well as conStipa ton
often cause piles, and it is a mistake
to treat it as a purely local disease;
this is the reason why Salves and oint-
ments have so little effect and the wide
spread success of the Pyramid Pile Cure
has demonstrated it
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a Salve
nor ointment, but is in suppository form,
which is applied at night, absorbed into
the sensitive rectal membrane and acts
both as a local and constitutional treat
ment and in cases of many years stand
ing has made thousands OF permanent
cures
Many pile sufferers who have under
gone surgical operations without relief
or cure have been surprised by results
from a few weeks treatment with the
Pyramid supPository.
The relief from pain is SO immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiateS or cocaine
but such is not the case; it is guaranteed
absolutely free from any injurious drug
The cure is the result of the healing
remedy which cause the little tunors
and contested blood vessels to contract
and a natural circulation is established
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at SO cents for full sized package

Washington. Nov. Representative

there would be no decided effort during

whole the committee would favor the
plan Of basing representation upon the
number of inhabitants.
Discussing the general subject of re-
apportionment, Mr.. Hopkins said:
The committee on census will meet
during the first week of the session to
frame a bill providing for reapportiOn-
ment. think that proposition will
be adopted which will increase the pres
ent membership of the house. 1t has
been suggested that we authorize one
member for every los, 600 inhabitants.
That seems to be the ratio that is in
general favor among members of the
committee. This proposition would en-
tail an increased membership OF from
Is to 20 members
according to calculations / have
made, this reapportionment would add
members to the house from New York

States like Nebraska and Maine might
lose members by the proposed law. Some
of the southern states might also suffer

1t scarcely admits of controversy that
the success or failure of railroad proper
ties now depends principally on efficiency
of operative nanagement-there was a
time when financial sagacity was the
prime consideration This being admit
ted, 1t follows that the ratio between
gross and net earnings from operation

the well-being of a acknowledgements it is
the index of efficiency in management
Recognition of the Santa FEES official OPP
GRAFTON and earnings power is reflected in
the rise in prices its securities have rec
orded in the market recently.
The following table presents this ratio
for four of the ''giIt-edged'' raosd and for
five of the granger and western roads
which are now in the public eye The per-
centages are derived from official figures
fro gross and net earnings from actual op-
Grafton. Differences in mileage have been
disregarded because the comparison is not
between fiscal periods, but between one
management and another. The results
