The Old Methods of Treating Piles and
Rectal Diseases Suppanted by the
Pyramid Pile Cure.

Pyramid Pile Cure.
The old methods of treating piles by
lieature, by the knife, or by the cruel
tense pain and frequently collapse and

case OF piles and the mistake has been
made of treating piles as n purely local
disease. Such Is not the ease, however,
and the success of The new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has dem

The Pyramid Pile Cure is not saIve or
ointment, but a suppository which Is gp-
piled at night aud absorbed into the sensi-
tive rectal membrane and acts both as a
local and a constitutional treatment aud in
cases OF many years standing this trent

Thousands of pile sufferers hear witness
10 the inestimablc value of the Pyramid
and even those who have undergone sur
cicnl operations without cure have been
happily surprised by results from a few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain Is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the Pyra-
mid contains opiates or cocaine because
the relief is so instantaneous, but the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure Is guaranteed absolutely
free from any opiate or mineral poison
whatever.
The relief is the result Of the astrlngent

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win

Smeltins Works robbery. has confessed
the crime and so far S130.0O0 worth of
bullion has been recovered from the
bay, where he had sunk it, For three
days the detectives had tried all sorts
of intimidation to make Winters con-
fess but their threats apparently had
10 effect upon him. Finally he asked
to see Superintendent Won der Ropp of
the works, who, he said, was the only
friend he had. In his conversation
with Won der Ropp Winters manner
indicated that he knew where the gold
had been hidden. Won der Ropp told
him that they had strong case
against him and that he would be sent
to prison for thirty years. He said:
"You will be an old man when you
get out and it will do you no good to
hide the gold. We KNOW 1t is hidden
in the water near the works, and we'll
search every inch You may be sure
that the gold will be found before you
get out of prison"
Winters finally weakened and told
Won der Ropp that he had taken the
gold and would take him to the spot
where it was hidden. The criminal,

CORNERSTONE LAID BY
COLONEL ROOSEVELT

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. IL.
Yesterday, in the presence of Il vast
throng, the corner stone of the new
$4,000 Y. N. G. A. building was laid
by Vice President Roosevelt. many
prominent officials of the city and
state assisting.
Franklin +. Brook opened the cere-
mony and Rev. DR.. Edward Braislin
of the Fist Baptist Church, pro-
nounccd tho openeing prayer and invo-
cation. Ex-Governor Adams of Pueb-
10 was thci Introduced as the orator
of the day
He stated that manhood was the
best asset of the nation-Inore than
our countless resources, and that 1t is
the moral power of an intelligent
Christian tlat makes our flag. Aside
from the home there is no institution
that does more for growing manhood
than the Y. NJ. C. y. all over the coun-
try. He even declared that it would
be justiiialie to appropriate portion
of the reveiue money received, to fos-
ter and aid such Institutions. He be
lieved that a Y. NJ. C. A. building
placed in every city in the country
would do mach to solve the problem of
the city.
Al lne CUlcluSltH OF MS SpeeCn,
which was heartily applauded, Colonel
Roosevelt was introduced. and as he
stepped into view, n roar Of greeting
went up from thousands.
This the vice president acknowl-
edged witha smile and n bow. Owing
to seveie cold, which rendered
speech difficult, Ills address was eX-
tremely brief and informal He said
in part:
What have to say this afternoon
will of necessity be in the nature of

dress of Governor Adams. | want to
dwell again on the point he made. If
you eNpec to drive out evil, you've got
to put something else in its place. It's

the place on the wharf and the tug
steamed away to wait for low tide.
This morning Winters himself got into
the mud and water up to his neck and
for an hour and half groped for the
missing bullion. Up to 10 o'clock SILL
900 worth had been recovered. This
includes thc four bags of fine gold.
Winters lad put some of the bars i'll
bags. He said that one of the bags had
broken and some small bars had
dropped out. 1t is now only n
question of careful. search to find
the rest of the S2SO,OOO. Winters
claims that he did the job all
alone. He says that he made
fourteen trips from the vault to the
wharf, from which he dropped the
gold. The smelter officials, however,
are positive that he received assist
ance from someone. The detectives
think tnnt his story that he did it all
himself is correct.
In view of the fact that promises of
clemency We're made Winters in CON
sideration of his unearthing the gold
it is thought that his punishment will
be light.
Detective Gibson is quoted as saying
that it was promised Winters by
President Ralston of the Selby Smelt-
ing Works that he should not only be
unprosecuted, but should receive S25,-
600.
"Winters can not be prosecuted
said Detective Gibson, for there is no
evidence against him. All that has
been dawn from him was secured by
the derectives under promise that IL
would not be used against him. Tn
der su,h circumstances it would be
extremely difficult to secure a convic-
ton"
