chssgss the Subject.

The home industry editor OF the
Sparks was in the store OF a promi-
nent business man recently, and
listened with approval to the busi-
ness mans sound and convincing
arguments against the practice OF
SO many people in sending away
for articles that ought to be pur-
chased al home. While they
talked the editors eyes rested on
pile OF stationary that had been
printed in Chicago or ST. Louis
or some other eastern city. The
business man noticed the cause of
the rapt gaze and hastily changed
the subject to the weather and
crop prospects. Merchants who
expect the newspapers to preat h
the doctrine OF patronizipg home
ought to set a good
example themselves. = Lamar

Speaking Of wha, a newspap

Speaking of what a newspaper
does for community. United
States Senator David Davis, OF
illinois, made an address that re-
mains ever green in the memories
OF newspaper men. He said:
every year every local paper
gives from 500 to S, 900 free lines
for the benefit of :he community
in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
other man, and in all fairness,
man with man, he ought to be sup
ported-not because you happen
to like him or admire his writing,
but because a local paper is the
best investment community can
make. II may not be crowded
with great thought, but financially,
it is of more benefit than both
preacher and teacher. Today
editors do more for less pay than
any men on earth. Patronize your
home paper, not as charity, but
as an investment"

Law Enforcement Caue ~.

There was mass meeting OF
Law Enforcement people in the
county court room last Tuesday
evening, and ticket was nomi-
mated to be voted upon at the en-,
suing city election. M. X. Nc
Cauiey presided, and II. II. Clar k
othciated as secretary. There
were exactly eight people present,
tour OF whom were prospective
candidates. A resolution was in
troduced by y. q. Hess and
adopted, which is to be the plat.
form upon which the law enforce
unent people will stand during the
campaign. 1t provides for the en-
ioTcement OF all laws, and in lists
that the sale OF liquor shall be
confined exclusively to those hav-
ing city license.
One OF the candidates, T.. w.
McDanieis, who was nominated for
city attorney, absolutely refused
10 run on such a platform, declar
ing that lie did not believe it would
De possible to enforce such a law,
and that in the event OF failure the
city attorney would have to
shoulder all the blame. Mr.. Hess
made an eloquent plea asking MIR.
McDaniels to reconsider his de
termination, as he was the only
logical candidate, hut the latter
declared that his decision was
final. The nomination for city
attorney was then passed. The
ticket nominated was as follows:
Mayor, w. h. Cartwright; al
men, first ward. X. c. Inge, +.
Marshall; second ward, A. b

Why Nons Are Skipped.

Occasionally some subscriber
will drop into this Office and say
al guess you forgot our name
when you mailed the TRIBUNE last
week" OF course we are always
ready and willing to replace the
missing copy, but we explain to
all such that it is impossible for
us to "forget" or miss name.
The names are set up in type and
printed on strip ps OF paper Paste
is then applied to the strips and
the names detached one at a time
with rule and pasted to the front
page of the TRIBUNE, or upon
every wrapper where individual
wrappers are used.
Unless the label comes off,
which seldom happens, 1t is sim.
ply impossible tor paper to be
skipped" in this Office. and where
the subscriber misses copy the
loss may safely be laid outside
of this Office. We have found
dozens OF copies of the TRIBUNE
on the show cases in the postoffice
lobby, dropped there by some
absent minded subscriber who has
probably become interested in
rag chewing match over the
Monroe doctrine, or the city elec.
ton. They then come down to
this Office with a hard luck story
about "not getting the paper this
week" We are always glad to
replace missing copies, If we have
them, but we dislike shouidering
the blame belonging elsewhere.

roc GREAT
Not the Reason.

1t is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is SO
expensive that many people decline to give
II a trial, but because they find 1t TOO great
a tax on their credulity to believe that the
published letters bearing testimony to the
merit of this remedy are genuine and bona
fde, especially to those who have realized
the suffering incident to piles Is it incredi-
bic that any one 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 Is in q
surgical operation.
This is righttulIy viewed with dread by
all those afflicted, as it means at the least
q great shock to the nervous system, with
more than a possibility of utter COLLAPSE
ana death; in the majority of cases. too,
there IS a return of the complaint, owing to
the iact that the cause is not removed.
The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure
agree TO forfeit one thousand dollars to
any one who will show u single published
testimonial TO be not genuine ana unsolic-
tied: this latter feature is most gratifying.
inasmuch as these letters are written sole
ly out of gratitude, and with the hope that
those who are afflicted as the writers hive
been may learn that relief is at hand, at a
comparatively. trifling expense. Pyramid
piie Cure Is FOR sale by druggists, at fifty
makers to any address upon receipt of
price.
Mr.. VIM. Lichtenwalter. head of the
largest printing house IN Canton, Ohio.
says: 1t is with the utmost pleasure and
satisfaction that I can say / believe ] am
cured of %protrudIng and bleeding piles. after
suffering more than twenty-five years. l
have been in bed for two weeks at a time.
/ have not suffered in the least for over a
year, and l used only three ifty-cent boxes
OF Pyramid Pile Cure.
Il advise every person suffering with this
distressing and painful complaint to give
this remedy a trial. l have every confidence

FOREIGN SHIPMENTS
RAISE WHEAT PRICES,
Armour Bids Up May Price and
Then UnlOads Il Lot of His
Holdings.
CHICAGO MARKET WHIPSAWED.
As Long as European Demand Re-
mains Strong Traders Have
No Fear of the Present
High Prices.
CHICAGO MARKET WHIPSAWED.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

NII BLU SfEtlSlL
Chicago. Ill. Jan. 2-Armour gave the
wheat trade another twist to-day, bidding
up the May price from SOS cents to S2"s. or
III cent above the point where it left off at
the previous session. He then unloaded
enough Of his holdings to cause q reaction
TO 81 cents at the close.
Local traders were whipsawed badly by
the Armour maneuvers. They made a drive
at the market early. only To find themselves
forced to cover at a big loss on the sharp
advance which followed.
The advance to-day was helped materially
by a sharp advance I'm Paris cables and di-
rect sales of wheat to France from the sea-
board. In addition there were reports from
San Francisco that vessels were loading at
that port with wheat for Australia.
News of this sort was calculated to make
speculative feeling strong. aside from the
fact that Armour, with his big wheat hold
ings, has become dictator of the market to
slch an extent as to cause the trade much
anxiety. TRADERS declare. however. that so
long as foreigners continue to buy our
wheat, prices, now several cents higher than
on the first Of the year, viii be deemed
legitimate.
