IN PUBLIC FAVOR.
A Remedy for the Cure of Piles Which
 Has Met With Remarkable Success.

There are many popular medicines that are known in every household in America.
 There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics, headache powders, dyspepsia cures and cough cures which are sold in every drug store.
 But all of these must divide popularit with many rivals, no one remedy has the field to itself, with the single exception of pile cures, for it is singular fact, that among the host of remedies, there is but one pile cure that can be considered as having a national reputation, without rival and the remedy referred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure, which for seven years has steadily worked into public favor by reason of it's extraordinary merit and a method and a record of remarkable cures, until it is known from Maine to California and from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mexico.
 It is true there many pile remedies having a small local reputation for year or two but the Pyramid Pile Cure has rap idly supplanted them all and really has the field to itself when anything like national popularity is considered.
 The explanation is simple. It is because piles is in no sense an imaginary trouble, that a simple salve ointment will cure, but an obstinate, painful and often dan gerous trouble and a remedy to give satis- faction must possess positive and very apparent merit. A person suffering from piles will not experiment for months with a remedy; it must give relief and cure in short order or it is condemned.
 The worst cases of piles are relieved on the first application, and being in supposi- tory form is convenient to use and cures without interfering with daily occupation.
 Medical men use it in preference to sur gical operations because it is so safe and painless, and the cost, compared to benefit given is mere trif1e as all druggists sell it at 50 cents.
 If suffering from any form of piles bleed- ing, itching or protruding, a trial of the Pyramid Pile Cure will cure you and add another to it's thousands of friends.

MR. TOMPKINS FILES
 ANSWER TO LENTZ Makes General and Specific De-
 niaI of All Charges USES SARCASTIC SENTENCES Says if Mir. Lentz Has Anything to Ex- pose of Which the Administration Stands in Fear He ,.as the
 Opportunity to Do So.
USES SARCASTIC SENTENCES

Columbus, O., January 26-Congressman- elect Emmett Tompkins of the Twelfth Ohio district today sent to Congressman John J. Lentz his answer to the notice of contest served upon him by MT. Lentz some time ago. MT. Tompkins enters general and specific denial to all the charges made by MT Lentz that corrupt methods and means were used to secure his election. He also prefers counter-charges, twelve cases being cited where it is alleged votes were cast illegally for Lentz or where alleged irregularities in the election procedure, ma terally reducing the total vote credited to his opponent. In reply to MT Lentz's charge that the campaign carried on in be- half of the Republican candidate for Con- gress was systematic and a part of plan projected and carried out by Headers and political spectators connected with the ad- ministration at Washington" MT. Tomp kins says:
 Well, what if it was? How does that fact if it is a fact, effect my right to a seat in the House? Besides, did they not have the privilege to retire you from Con- gress if they wanted to? MT. Bryan, the Democratic candidate for president, came here and spoke in behalf of your ean- didacy, although he said that if he was elected president, he wanted to see you at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue. Ii Mr. Bryan had the right to speak for you, and he did, did not others, no matter who have the right to speak for me?'
 As to the Corruption Fund.
 Continuing, MT. Tompkins says: You say in substance, that large corruption fund was raised outside of the district and sent in here to defeat you because cer- tain Republican leaders connected with the national administration feared the effect of certain exposures you would make. I deny that any sum was procured in any manner and sent into this district to corrupt voters against you, and 1 deny that anybody is afraid of you.
 If you have such information why do you not yield it? You are still a member of Congress. You do not quit until the 4th of March. Congress is in session and has been in session continuously except during the holiday recess since December 8, 1900. Why are you not there on the floor, reveal ing the all-important and exclusive infor- nation with which you heavily charged? You owe it to the people to make a revelation"
