a RELIABLE PIE CURE


The PyraAid Pile Cure Is the
safest and surest pile cure on the
market, because It contains ne
mineral poisens nor opium nor CO
caine, but can be used with abso-
lutte safety and certainty Of cure.
Many physicians are now using
the Pyramid Pile Cure in place OF
surgical operations. being painless,
convenient to use. and the patient
can attend to his daily occupation
while the cure is being made, as
it is used at night and no additional
treatment is necessary.
s DR.. Wharton says the Pyramid
Pile Cure will prove a blessing to
mankind, when it is remembered
that heretofore q surgical opera
ton was considered the only cure
with all its dangers to life. intense
pain and an expense of from ten to
one hundred dollars, to say moth

is sold by druggists at so cents and

Ja mes and Kiddcr.

In the big revival of "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" made this season for
Louis James and Kathryn Kidder by
Wagenhals and Kemper, and which will
be seen at the Opera House on next
Thursday evening, May End, the climax
of picturesque elaboration seems to
have been reached. No other standard
play-nor any play or any other char
acter, for that matter-affords so great
an opportunity for brilliant effects, and
these opportunities have all been utiliz-
ed in the present production. Scenical-
ly the great feature of this production,
is the representation of Fairyland. This
scene, it will be remembered, is laid in
q wood near Athens where one pair of
lovers take their flight, where they are
pursued by another pair OF love-lorn
people, and where they are all found by
Oberon, the fairy king. and Titania,
mis- queen. This scene Is q great study
in light and shade effects. Seat sale
opens Tuesday morning.

tered the home of Harry E. Simpson
a roller living on Twenty-fourth street,
and secured jewelry and other articles
to the value OF $500. The entrance to
the house was made through a side
window. which leads to the belief that
the parties were we'll posted on the sur

was not made knewn until late Sunday
night, as the family were absent during
