IN SOME CASES
a single Package of tho Pyramid
pie cure is Sufficient to Cure.

PILE cure is SUFFICIENT to Cure.
This may seem broad statement
when Il is remembered that few diseases
are SO obstinate toreally cure as piles;
some physicians go so far as to gay that
q painful surgical operation Is the only
permanent cure. but the many and re-
markable cures made by the Pyramid
Pile Cure in the past few years have
proven that surgical operations are no
longer necessary, and that it is by far
the safest and most reliable remedy yet
discovered for this common and often
dangerous trouble.
The harmless acids and healing oils
contained in the Pyramid Pile Cure
cause the blood vessels to contract to a
natural condition and the little tumors
are absorbed and the cure is made with
out pain, Inconvenience or detention

DR.. Williams, prominent orificial
surgeon, says: 1T is the duty of every
surgeon to avoid an operation if posi-
Bile to cure in any other way, and after
many trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure

erence to an operation.

SIOUX CITY TO OMAHA
Prospects for the Completion of the
Omaha Road Are Good.


Sioux city, Feb. s.Never before to-.
day was the prospect 50 bright for the
Of the Omaha Northern
railway from Omaha to Sioux City m
Nebra ska by route ninety-four ana
one-ha,f miles long.
The local representatives. of the COM
pany have information that the bill eX-
tending the time for the construction of
the road thru the Winnebago and the
Omaha Indian reservations has been re-
ported from committee in amended
form 10 the house. The senate has all
ready passed the bill and no opposition
is expected to its passage in the house.
The amendment was the change in
length of the time of the extension
from three to two years. The bill pro-
vides for an amendment to the act of
March rs. 1895, which granted to the
Omaha Northern Railway Company the
right to construct a railway across the
established stations on the reservations.
The extension is from March 26. 1901.
The right of way across the reserva-
tions has been bought and paid for by
the company. but the charter would
soon have expired and its extension was
essential to the retention of the rights
purchased.
There is this feature in the financing
of the big deal: The men interested will
not be able to announce definitely that
the road will or will not be built until
two or three days before the actual
work s begun. When the financial pow
ers with whom negotiations are being
carried on decide for the building of the
road. 1t will be built with all possible
haste. Some announcement like that
may be expected within few months.
