The causes Of it's organization were the
condition Of women in foreign lands, their
great need Of help and the powerlessness
of christian men working in these coun-

helped to better knowledge and civiliza-

eight women who were the founders of

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

1t is not because Pyramid Pile Cure Is
so expensive that many people decline to
give 1t trial, but because they find it too
great tax on their credulity to believe
that the published letters bearing testi
mony to the merit Of this remedy are
genuine and bona f1de: especially to those
who have realized the suffering incident
to piles it is incredible that anyone who
has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty
years with the worst forms Of protruding
and bleeding piles should be cured by the
application of a simple remedy, when their
physician has assured them that the only
relief IT, in surgical operation. This Is
rightfully viewed with dread by all those
afflicted, as it means at the least a great
shock to the nervous system, with more
than a possibility of utter collapse and
death; in the majority of cases., too, there
is return Of the complaint, owing to the
fact that the cause is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to
anyone who will show a single published
testimonial to be not genuine and un-
solicited; this latter feature Is most graft

CORN PIT TURBULENT.
July Option Scars Skyward,
Then Takes a Slump.

Chicago, June 1s.-The corn pit was
again the scene Of a turbulent mob OF
grain spectators today. Prices scared
skyward under the manipulation of the
crowd that has cornered July options
and as quickly dropped with thud.
Every trade in the pit was kept guessing
as to what would be the price at the
end Of the day. Natural conditions
were entirely ignored. In the first 10
minutes advances of ~ cents were
made. In the next hour prices slumped
cents. All sorts Of conjectures were
made as to the final outcome Of the
corner. Private elevators are making
contract corn as fast as possible in or
der to grade in and overcome the con-
gested condition. In three days 500, 900
bushels have been made.
Country markets are rushing corn
here to take advantage Of the high
prices but opposed to this movement
is that of the bull operat tors who are
buying up cash stuff and selling it at
a discount to prevent large arrivals,
Efforts are even being made to ship
stuff to Milwaukee to grade in that
N arket.
July options practically control all
action on the board of trade. At the
opening they sold nc to 17zc higher
than yesterdays closing price, the first
two sales being made at CSC and sec.

but did not fuetuate wildly.
There was a constant pressure on the
corn pit during the closing hour. Not
content with having forced corn to ex-
ecute handspring, the manipulators
reversed the process still further and
pushed July options down to 65ss, a
loss of 35s from the opening high price,

Mr.. McCabe makes quite an extended
report on the repairs needed on the

ural ironwork on the viaduct, and try
to put it into good shape. He estimates
