PERFECT FIRE SYSTEM
Chief Walden Tested the Appliance
at DOId-s Packing House.

The Dold company has the water pipes
and fire MIGRANTS placed all around the
new packing house and yesterday Chief
Walden of the FIRE department went up to
see them tested.
Chief Walden said it would be almost
impossible fer the house or any part of
it TO burn with such facilities at hand
FOR putting out FIRE.
The water was turned into the pipes
from Chisholm creek and steam sent into
the powerful pumping engine. There

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion.

There is none of US so hardened but
that when we have been able to aid our
fellow creatures by comforting q benefit
or bringing a little comfort into their
lives we like to have appreciation shown.
This generally affords more pleasure
than the performance of the act itself
and in this connection the following let
ter from Paris, Texas, lady is of more
than usual interest: Dear Friends:
address you as such, for you have been
such to me. I suffered for three years
off and on with piles. I was treated at
the hospital, and the new and elegant
hospital Of Memphis; they only gave me
temporary relief. I came west, thinking
the change of air and water would bene-
fit me; five months ago the bleeding piles
came back on me, and bled so much that
I thought I would die. I have had four
Of the finest doctors in this section of
Texas; all they did was to finally nearly
let me go to my grave; all they wanted
was big sum Of money from me and to
operate on me. I said no, no surgeons
knife would enter me; If it was my time
10 die God knew it, and when I died
would die all together. I began hearing
about your medicine. I had no faith in
you, but I sent and got a box of your
Pyramid Pile Cure; IN two days the
blood flow had slackened to one-haIf the
amount, and in one week I felt so much
better I walked four blocks and did
little homework. I was not bleeding
then; IN three weeks I was well. God
bless you for putting such q wonderful
medicine within the reach or suffering
men and women. shall never cease to
recommend your medicine or be without
it; also I used your Pyramid Pills. Sallie
A Hearndon" Testimony like this
should be more convincing than all
claims and assertions, and should leave
no doubt in the mind Of the reader as to
the merit Of the remedy. Pyramid Pile
Cure is sold by druggists for fifty cents
a package, or will be mailed by the max
ers to any address upon receipt of price.

CHEAPER THAN EXPECTED
Hay Is Selling on the streets for SO

Kansas is always knocking out some
bodys predictions. II is particularly
hard on the fellows who foreten calam-
ity. People in a position TO know most
about what was in this country last fail
predicted that there was such a shortage
of hay that lots of stock would be starv-
ed to death and now here was good,
bright prairie hay selling on the streets
yesterday for ten dollars a ton.
Some OF the farmers who believed this
story sold their stock cattle away down
last September and now they want to
buy them back at a much higher price.
The hay men in this city stored lets of
hay because everybody said il would
bring twenty to thirty dollars a ton in
March.
When people wrought themselves up 10
believe these stories about the drouth it
commenced to rain the last of Septem-
Der and the wheat made a vigorous
growth. The farmers all winter kept
marketing fat cattle from their wheat
fields and the hay remained in the barns
or in the stacks. It now looks like as If
people who want TO gain a reputation as
prophets would better stick to foretell-
