SUFFERERS FROM PILES AND
RECTAL DISEASES
Have Now a Simple But Effective
Cure.

Modern medical science and skill has
at last succeeded in producing a. remedy
which effectually cures that common,
but extremely annoying trouble, piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the remedy
referred to, aud-repeated and thorough
trials of the remedy during the past
three years have demonstrated that it is
the long sought for remedy which can
There are many remedies which give
relief, but such relief is only temporary
and the trouble soon returns. as bad, or
worse than ever. But the Pyramid Pile
Cure stands practically alone as a. last
ing cure. Tt not only gives immediate
relief but the relief is there to stay.
Mr. j. w. Rollins writes briefly and to
the point regarding his experience with
piles; he says: i consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal. 1T cured me
in less than thirty days I waited fifteen
days or more to be sure the remedy had
fully cured me before writing you.
can now say I am cured. and shall
recommend the Ply ramid Pile Cure at
every possible opportunity because it de-
serves it,
We quote from this gentleman's let
ter to show our readers how promptly
the remedy acts and also that there is no
return Of the trouble.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is simple and
harmless. containing purely vegetable
ingredients and can be used in all cases
with perfect safety and with the aSSur-
ance that a cure will follow. Physicians
prescribe it and use it in all cases Of
piles in preference to the danger and I'M
certainty Of a surgical operation. It
cures without pain or inconvenience of
any kind.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co. Of Marshall,
Mich, and sold by druggists everywhere
at SO per package, making it the safest,
surest, cheapest pile cure before the pub
lie and one you can try with almost GER
tain success.

THE oil strikes at Beaumont, louisiana
are creating as much excitement as the
location Of gold neswould, In Kan
sas City almost nothing else is talked
about among those who are able to spec
ulate. The fever has no doubt struck
other cities in the same proportion,
Away out here in Kansas, where the
people ought to know better the conta'
gion is catching. Local capitalists are
focking into the oil fields and paying
fabulous prices for supposed oil lands.
Half a dozen OF the business men Of
Lyons have been down there and in
vested good many thousands of dol
lars. So far as known only one formerly
Hutchinson man has been much prohted
by the strike. He is Anthony Oswald
father OF Charlie Oswald Of the Ameri-
can Steam Laundry. He went there as
it happened just previous to the finding
of oil. He has been offered $4,000 for
his holdings S. M, Scott, formerly
well known in Kansas as an Alliance
lecturer and political speaker, is re-
ported to have made $4,000, mostly in
commissions on sales of land,

AL ORGAN OF THE PEOPLES PARTY OF RENO COUNTY.
Another New Industry.

For two or three weeks there have
been rumors that the Independent Salt
Company or those who are behind the
enterprise, would establish a soda ash
factory at this place in connection with
the salt plant, 1t seems to be very dif-
6cult to get anything definite or authen-
tic about the matter, There are those
who have considerable knowledge Of the
work Of the new salt company who be-
leve that the prospect for securing such
a factory here Is good, The soda ash,
II seems, is at present only manufactured
in two or three factories in the United
States, 1t Is the crude alkali or crude
soda carbonate from which all the cook
ing and various other kinds of soda are
made. Besides 1t is used in metalurgy,
and in dying as well as in almost all ex-
tensiye chemical operations, 1t seems
also that II Is manufactured chiefly from
salt with lime, The limestone can be
obtained from Butler, Chase and Marion
counties, 1t Is reported that when Jay
Gould was alive and at the head Of the
Missouri Pacific and the Hutchinson
Salt Company here, he had plans laid
for putting in such a plant and 1t was
considerably talked of at the time,
But when he died it was allowed to drop
until now it is being revived
Mr.. Holbrook is now in the East and
II is supposed that h. is endeavoring to
enlist capital for the plant. If soda
ash plant should be established here it
will have a tendency to draw other man
ufactories Of soda to this locality, iCF
soda ash is crude product, is raw ma
terial, and will have to be worked up into
marketable shape by other factories.

A Better Town to Live In.

THE colums Of the News have been
thrown open to any of the sages Of
Hutchinson to tell show to make Hutch
inson better town to live in" Now
that it is not difficult thing to tell by
any means, but before we have got
through with it. it may be found to be
quite difficult thing to do. The col.
ums of the News are good evidence
that Hutchinson has plenty Of men who
can rank well with the patriarchs and
prophets in the little matter Of giving
advice. For instance there is Senator
Vincent who says "folow the golden
rule" and you will not make Hutchin-
son a worse town to live in. Now that
advice is as good as it is old, Follow
the golden rule everybody and we can
discharge the whole police force and
hire freckled faced boy one day a
week to catch dogs and turn two humid
red and fifty or three hundred dollars
per month into the hole in the city fin
ances that has been growing bigger and
deeper every year for a decade Eu-
reka! We have found the way out
Everybody obey the golden rule, But
we are afraid the senator has been too
vague and general in his advice. ltmay
be that with plenty Of advice all the
people, white, black and mixed colors
can be persuaded to obey the golden
rule, but who can control the chickens
that follow the inclinations of a sordid
heart and waller up all the neighbors
garden sass?' Who can restrain the
the evil dispositions Of the kline and
horses that run astradle your young
fruit trees, and break down young shade
trees? And who can change the nature
of hog to stink in hot weather when
he is confined in a tight pen within a
few feet of your back door? These are
few things man so practical as our
senator should not have overlooked.
Incidentally it might be suggested that
it will be necessary to appoint COM
mittee to wait on the owners Of the gar
dens and the fruit trees and the back
doors about thirty to thirty.fve times a
day and insist on his "obeying" or other
wise it may be necessary to reappoint
the police Judge and police force, and
the city will never get out of the hole.
AS we have said above and before this
is good general advice, but what Hutch
son needs to make it better town to live
in, is advice more specific and certain,

Dryer than they Want.

Now the fellows that voted the wet
ticket at the last city election and be-
lieve in the sort Of arguments those fel.
lows put up are beginning to say ~ told
you So" The city has gone dry and in
some respects it has been very much
dryer than anyone wished, More than
a year ago those in management of city
affairs who desired very earnestly to
see the city pulled out Of the financial
hole, declared that if the people wanted
the streets sprinkled the business men
who received the most benefits of the
sprinklng would have TO pay for the
work, So far the business men have
paid for the work, but last Friday the
fund ran so low by reason of so many Of
the subscribers failing to pay up that
the remainder concluded the labor
love was becoming too burdensome and
the old "hoss and cart" quit doing bust
ness. Then the wind and dust did bus
mess at lively rate, and there were
some mad men about town. The men
who have been paying to support the
street sprinkler literally and generously,
have right to feel sore at the fellows
who get just as much benefit and re-
fuse to pay anything A protest was
sent to the mayor and a prade was
planed to consist Of the band and bri-
gade carrying sprinkling pots. 1t was
also proposed by the travelling men to
hire the streets sprnkled with the sprink
lers carrying banners stating that fact.
But the street committee got to work,
and after comforting with some of the
business men and those who have been
sprinkling the streets, arrangements
we're made so that they started again
Monday afternoon. However this al
rangemcnt is only temporary and the
question is not settled.

Anothar Trial.

Judge Simpson last week granted a
new trial in the Mrs. Lowe damage case
against the Santa Fe railroad company.
The case has already been tried twice in
this court. The first time the jury dis
agreed standing ten to two in favor
OF granting damages to her. The last
time was at the April term OF court just
adjourned and resulted in verdict for
S4oo5, damages for the plaintiff. Now
the court has set this aside on the pecu'
liar grounds that the jury did not suf.
iiciently weigh the evidence. 1t seems
to have been true that there was much
conflicting evidence, apparently enough
that had it been taken as true with moth
ing to Offset on the other side be
sufficient 10 warrant verdict either way
To set verdict aside on such grounds
seems to say the least, peculiar. The
plaintiff is at great expense in every
trial OF the case, she now lives in Chi
cago and being obliged to come here
every time, TO say nothing Of the other
expenses Of the trial, This is a very
good example Of the way litigation
against big corporation goes To our
mind there are two things in this case
may be considered as true, First, on
general and moral grounds the woman
deserves damages, Second, that she
won't get them.
