III SOME CASES
n Single Package OF the Pyramid
Pile Cure Is Sufficient to Cure.

"A Single Package OF the Pyramid
Pile Cure Is Sufficient to Cure.
This may seem broad statement when
it Is remembered that few diseases are so
obstinate to really cure as piles; some
physicians going so far as to say that a
painful surgical operation is the only
permanent cure, but the many and re-
markab-e cures made by the Pyramid
Pile Cure in the past few years have
proven that surgical operations are no
longer necessary and that it is by far
the safest and most reliable remedy vet
discovered for this common and often
dangerous trouble
The harmless acids and healing oils
contained in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause
the blood vessels to contract to a natural
condition and the little tumors are alb
sorbed and the cure is made without
pain, inconvenience or detention from
business.
DR.. Williams, a prominent CRITICAL sur
geon says: 1T is the duty of every sur
geon to avoid an opera ton if possible to
cure in any other way and after many
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure I IN
hesitatingiy recommend it in preference
TO an operation"
Mr.. Phil Owens of So Omaha writes
that after suffering etWo years from an
aggravated case of itching and protrud-
ing piles he was cured by a single so cent
package OF the pyramid File cure pur-
chased from a local druggist, he says:
Il fully expected the trouble would re-
turn but am happy to say for the past
year and a half have been entirely free
from the disease and 1 can not speak too
warmly in favor of the Pyramid Pile
Cure"
A bill clerk in one of the large whole
sale houses of st. Louis says: "My ocCu-
patton as billing clerk was so combining
and sedentary that it finally brought on
an aggravated attack of rectal tro'ible,
which my physician diagnosed as itching
and protruding piles and recommended
salve which he prepared and which gave
me some relief for few hours after
using and then the trouble would come
back as bad as ever; one of the other
clerks advised me to try the Pyramid
Pile Cure and 1 now feel like thanking
him every day for recommending it as
single 50 cent package cured me and
have had no trace of plies since, some
thing over six months"
Hundreds of pile sufferers, who had al
most decided to undergo the pain and
danger of an operation have been aston
ished to find that the Pyramid Pile Cure
which can be purchased at any drug
store was far safer, better and more
effective than an operation could possibly
be.

frage for South

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 9.-(Special.)-
Both houses held short sessions today,
the principal action cf the house being
to adopt an adverse report on the pro-
hibitory law and pass the repeal Of the
law prohibiting the sale of firearms to
Indians, and to introduce bills provid-
ing fine of 500 for candidates

Of $40 value grand larceny. The senate
committee reported adversely on The

measure to reduce the legal rate of In
terest to 10 per cent. The principal bill
introduced was to tax the product Of
mines, a Montana law. A bill passed
fixing tie salary of the state veter:nar an
at $1,2C0. The investigating committee
appointed for the senate were: Vance,
Campbell. Martin; for the house: Bere-
dict. Goddard, McDougall, Gross, the last
in each list being a Populist.

Computations of revenue are at ncr

from sales. The object of selling the

would produce $4,000 for the bienn. al
period. With relation to the mat er of
taxation of railroads the committee
makes suggestions, but no recommends
tons. 1t is set forth that the constitu-
ton permits the payment of a gross
earnings tax, while the state law provides
for a direct tax system. Under this
latter the roads pay into the state 3.8
mills on the dollars of their assessed
valuation Of $17,00O,000, or about $66, 900
annually, to the general fund OF the
state. If a percentage system of gross
earnings could be adopted that would
compel the roads to pay as much ali
through the state as they do now, 1t is
estimated by the committee that the to-
tai amount paid would be $4S3,050. If
half of this went to the state treasury.
the amount received by the general fund
of the state would be $163,375 more an
nually than is paid under the present
system or s32675O for the biennial period.
A careful consideration of this matter
is suggested.
In reorganization the committee finds
that there might be added to the general
revenues of the state aside from the
suggested matter of gross earnings from
railroads the sum of $37S,050. Counting
the increase from a gross earnings tax
and from the sale or common school
I lands and the grand total of increased
revenues possible is SS45, AS
1t is suggested that the state board Of
university and school lands buy STATE re-
funding whenever sold. thus keeping the
payment Of interest by the state at
home.
The committee earnestly urges that
means be adopted to relieve the state OF
the presnt financial stress. There is
ample means to increase the revenues
of the state and provide for state 1nsti-
tutions if it is desired to be done. On
the other hand, the legislative assembly
If it does not provide some increase In

Information to Senate.
Senator Bacon's speech condemning

war, with the written approval of the
president. in refusing to give the SEN
nte important information in the GUS
tody of his department contains only
warranted reproof to the administra-
tion and is justified appeal to his col
leagues to vindicate their dignity and
self respect by demanding again that
the withheld information be produced
as matter Of both right and courtesy,
says the Kansas City Times.
The incident which provoked Senator
Bacon's protest grew out of the refusal
by Secretary Root, under instructions
from the president. to place before the
senate the report made by Special
Agent Lawshe. who was sent to Cuba
to investigate the condition of the Gu
ban postal accounts.
The ground taken by Mr.. Mckinley
for having the report withheld was
that it might interfere with the secur-

pending against employees of the gov
ernment, presumably against Perry
