STATE BANKERS NEW PLAN
They VIII Get Insurance at a Lower
Rate.

The Kansas State Bankers association,
Of which c. Q. Chandler of this city IS
president, is adopting a new method for
insurance on their safes and securing
fidelity bonds. The officers Of the associ-
alton have opened up negotiations with
an eastern company to insure the prop
erty of the 300 banks now in the associa-
ton, and also with another company to
furnish the bonds for the officials Of the
banks. The members Of the association
claim that they can get their insurance
for 20 per cent less by this method than
by any other plan yet originated.
The bankers sent q committee east to
investigate the companies and the report
was satisfactory to the bankers Of the
state The method is a novelty, but it
will surely be a saving Of money to the
Kansas men.
President Chandler states that the as
ISOLATION is larger now than at any time
in the previous history Of the organiza-
ton. He thinks that it viii increase as
the association continues in bringing
forth good things for its members.

QUICK AND SURE.
A Pile Remedy which Really Cures


Mr.. D. T. Collins Of Garrett, says: 81
commenced using the Pyramid Pile Cure
at a time when my case was bad I
thought nothing could cure il, but before
I had used a fifty cent package began
to feel much better and now can hon
estly say 1 am entirely cured II Is the
quickest and surest remedy I have ever
tried or heard Of"
From Thomas Wilson Of Port Jarvis:
Just one package OF the Pyramid Pile
Cure did wonders for me and I lose no
opportunity Of recommending such a
remedy
Amos Croker Of Worcester; After
having gone through an unsuccessful
surgical operation for piles and after
trying any number Of salves and ONT
ments without success 1t is no wonder
that I can find words OF praise for The
Pyramid Pile Cure. One package did
me more good than all the remedies had
tried before. It is so simple and pain
less to use that I felt no inconvenience,
whatever, while using it"
It has been thoroughly tested BY physi-
clans in every state in the Union and the
best authorities recognize It as the safest
surest and cheapest pile cure known.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every
form of piles, itching, protruding o.
bleeding, without particle Of pain.
It cures without detention from daily
occupation, being in suppository form
and used at night.
It's effects are lasting and not merely
temporary relief.
More than all this the Pyramid Pile
Cure is entirely harmless. containing no
opiate, narcotics or mineral poisons and
cannot harm the most delicate.
Druggists everywhere sell it and report
universal satisfaction wherever used.

have written TO Mr. Duggan regarding
the station and have instructed him 70
recommend the location of the station
It is positively settled that the stauoh
will be near Eighteenth street, but more
than that is not known at the present
time.
The putting in Of the sub-station hinges
on lust one thing. 1t is that the MIS-
souri, Kansas company get the FRANCHISE
10 place their lines underground in this
city. The matter viii probably be deiln-
steIv decided within a short time by the
city council. as the franchise has been

uanv win get the franchise, as a num-
Der Of the members Of the council have

grown remarkably within the past year.
Many new phones have been added and
the company has been branching out IN
every direction It's business in this city
has been very satisfactory to them, for
new improvements have been placed IN
the local Office at different times. The
phone list in this city numbers come
thing like 500, and it IS constantly in
.creasing
Not only does the Anssouri-Kansss
company contemplate improvements in
this city. but this week the first work OF
quitting in a telephone exchange at New
ton viii be commenced. At the present
time the company has a switching sta
ton I'm that city. and the city has grant
