Kinley. Senor Jglesias was accompanied
by Frank Morrison, Secretary of the

President promised to read the petition
and to do whatever was proper under the
circumstances.
In speaking of his mission later, Senior
Iglesias said that he had visited all por-
tioils of Porto Rico and had found the
same terrible conditions prevailing every
where. He held that the laboring classes
on the island were far worse off today
than ever they were under Spanish rule,
and that while the people had gladly well
coined the United States officials and

done up to date. and everybody was de-

AGAINST A FORECLOSURE.
Henry o. TOwles and His Wife File
Their Answer to a Suit.

Henry o. Towles and his wife, Fannie
E. Towles, yesterday filed their answer
to the suit brought against them some
time ago by Charles C. Duncanson and
others for the purpose of foreclosing a
certain deed of trust. The deed of trust
referred to was given by Towles and his
wife to secure the payment of $500 due
on certain promissory notes, upon which
the names of Henry o. Towles Gilbert
B. Towles, c. c. Bryan, and Zenas c.
Robbins appear as endorsers.
Some of the notes In question are those
which Gilbert B. Towles was indicted for
altering and raising. He was convicted
of the offence and sentenced to imprison-
ment In the penitentiary for seven years.
In addition to filing their answer. the
Towleses also filed a cross bill. in which
they contend that the deed of trust can
not he foreciosed because of non-payment
OF taxes on the property pledged to secure
the notes in question, and because the
notes for which the deed of trust was
given were altered by Gilbert B. Towles.
by the use of chemicals. 1t is further al
legged that Duncanson did not fully ex-
plain to the Towleses the nature of the
paper signed when they made the deed
OF trust. He also told them, they claim.
that the paper would not be placed on
record. This. they allege, was done.
The Towleses are represented by Walter
{. Clephane, as counsel.

While alone in the cell yesterday he took

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that it cures every form of
piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
of injurious opiates. which simply deaden
and paralyZe the nerves of the parts ana
make matters worse in the long run But
it Is done solely by its remarkably heal
ing and soothing effects. And while
IL thus gives immediate relief, at the
same time the disease is not merely
checked. but a radical cure Is rapidly ac-
complished And the point we want to
make clear is that all this is done without
a particle of pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public too long and its merits recog-
mzed by too many people to allow 1t 10
be classed with the many salves, supposi-
tories. pills. etc, and you run no RISK IN
irving il. as is often the case with new
and untried preparations. If you are ever
troubled with any form of piles or rectal
disease do not forget the Pryamid Piie
Cure. Prepared by Pyramid DRUG. Com
pany, Marshall Mich, and sold by all
druggists ut 50 cents per package.
