A MAN CAN'T WORK
WHEN HE IS SUFFERING WITH
 PILES.
He Can't Eat, Can't Sleep, Can't Get Comfort Any Way But One--Pyramid Pile Cure Will Cure Him, Give
 Relief at Once-Never
 Known to Fail.

Just a little pain may so distract a mans mind that it will cost him hun dreds of dollars. Life is a battle To succeed one needs all his energies and all his brain force to apply to the ques- tion at hand. Even a corn will make him irritable, cross angry-and an angry man seldom succeeds. The trifiing pain of corn is a pleasant feeling beside the agonizng ache of piles. That is a pain which seems to pervade the whole body. 1t communicates itself to all the parts near the seat of the trouble and brings on heavy, dragging feeling in the peri neum. Those who have never so suffered do not know what it means. It racks the nerves, prevents sleep, prevents concern trated thought and makes a man lose flesh as fast as he would with a virulent fever.
 And yet piles are looked upon as lit- tie thing. They are neglected-allowed to run on from month to month and year to year. By and by comes dan gerous surgical operation. Maybe it cures-maybe it kills.
 There is only one sure, safe and quick cure for piles. It is the Pyramid Pile Cure. It is a recent discovery and its properties arc such that it cleanses soothes and heals the infiamed parts, re- duces the inflammation at once. and with continued treatment removes all swelling and all trace of the disease. It puts the membranes in a healthy, active condition and cures completely and permanently
 From Samuel Victor, Detroit. Mich: T had not written you sooner because the first box of the Pyramid Pile Cure used helped me so much, and wanted to wait until I was completely cured, and so 1t was that after using three boxes of your Pyramid Pile Cure. I am entirely cured of the terrible disease from which I have suffered six months; and now I am using Pyramid Pills, which help me very much.
 From B. H. Palmer, Windsor, Cal: q have been troubled for fifteen years with piles and have tried. different salves and ointments, but never came across any, thing like your Pyramid Pile Cure. used two 50-cent boxes three months ago, and they have made complete cure, and I am recommending them to every one know to be afflicted. Thanks for the cure.-
 From rhos A. Nixon, s54 N Bambrey St., Philadelphia: Tt is now time should let you know that I am cured of bleeding piles. If you only knew how l have suffered from them for the last nine years, in. pain. Last April 1 went to the drug store and bought 5O-cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure, and found at last a good cure.

 Hopeful Conclusions.
 "we cannot, therefore, conclude, with such conditions as these making money plentiful and increasing the producing powers of so large a class, that we are entering upon long period of depres- sion in business lines With industrial companies their properties are in better physical condition than ever before, and they are stronger financially, and are, therefore better able, to take prompt measures to bring about a reaction.
 While we have all these encourage ments tolhope for an early return of gen. eral activity under normal conditions, 1t behooves everyone to contribute as far as possible to- the bringing about of the change, desired.

TRADE CONDITIONS CLOSELY ANALYzED Col. I. C. Bush Discusses Busi-

 Will Not Last Long.
VERY LIGHT IRON STOCKS

Colonel T. G. Bush, president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company. enjoys the reputation of be- l ing one of the best informed and most thoughtful men in the Birmingham dis trict In discussing business conditions, a day or two ago. he Submitted the fol- lowing remarks.
 'I regret to say that at this particular 1 time the general trade situation is not altogether satisfactory. The present conditions are due to causes which are obvious but not. necessarily alarming. If we should accept the history of past periods of depression as a precedent, without considering the differences in the causes compared with the present situa- tion we might lose courage and fear the worst. But we have no reason to con- slider the present decline in prices as an indication of long period of stagnation, as occurred in '93 and several years fol- lowing.
 "If conditions were the same at this time as existed in the last period of de- pression, we would now be in state of utter COlldpSS. we HdN6 Ohiy to iNAASSS for moment, to take courage and con- elude that as has been said by some one. the pyramid of prosperity has only been disturbed somewhat at the top without the foundation being in any sense un- i dermined.' After such an advance in prices of iron and steel, we could only expect a radical decline, naturally brought about by overproduction "A sudden loss of confidence by buy" CTS in the face of unprecedented produc- ton and increasing surplus would reason- ably cause prices to decline to an ex- tremely low point. It has been correct ly said that unreasoning and reckless competition is the death of trade,-and that is what we would have today If the !! industrial institutions were in the same | condition and on the, same footing as several years ago. Every one can feel ingly recall the results of severe compe- 1 tition between railroads and industrial concerns, which carried prices ruinously | low, and forced many of each class into the hands of receivers.

MURDER OF HUSBAND
Second Trial Of Mrs. LavelleurAbout
to Be Started at Newton,
Iowa.
Jury Disagreed Before Body of the
Dead Man Exhumed for More
Evidence.
Special to Tho Journal,


Newton, Iowa, Nov. 30.--The district
court convenes Tuesday and the case of
the state vs. Hannah I.avelleur will be
called for trial. Mrs. Lavelleur was once
tried for the crime of numbering her hus-
band, but the jury disagreed.
BY many it was believed the case would
be dropped, as the evidence was so cir
cumstantial as to make conviction seem
almost impossible. There is a certain ele-
ment In the county, however which de-
mandS. that the case again be taken up.
The state has been working on some new
clues of late and some startling revela-
tions are promised by the county attorney
1t has developed that the body Of La
velleur, which was buried at Mingo, was
exhumed last Friday at the instance Of the
county attorney, who directed three ply
sicians to make a thoro examination of
the remains with view to determining
whether the legs and arms of Lavelleur
were burned off or cut off and then thrown
into the fire.
Lavelleur's body was found in the ashes
of his barn which caught fire very mys-
teriously. On examination it was discov-
cred that the skull had been crushed by
some blunt instrument. The legs and arms
had been severed. The defense contended
that the wound in the head was caused
by the falling of some part OF the burning
barn upon Lavelleur and that the legs and
arms were burned off by the fire..
Lavelleur and his wife had had many
violent quarrels and she was known to
have made threats to kill him. The case
attracted state wide attention about a
year ago. -

A DIFFERENT STORY
First Investigation ofAlleged Traffic
in Postofices Was Favorable
to Dietrich.
Signed Statements Of Jurors Dispute
the Explanation Made by
Mr.. Summers.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. S0-Men who served
on the federal grand jury which last May
undertook the first investigation of the
alleged sale of the Hastings. Neb., post
office by Senator Charles H. Dietrich tell
a different story than does District At
torney Summers why the investigation
was brought to a close, In his letters to
the head Of the department of. justice at
Washington Mr.. Summers wrote that he
thought the government might prefer to
conduct it's own Investigations where a
United States senator was involved. The
grand Jurors declare that Mr.. Summers
reluctantly heard the word of the jurors
that the evidence failed and that the
jurors themselves discontinued the hear
ing because they We're not satisfied that
Dietrich was guilty.. 49,
Ii Senator Dietrich was in the city to-
day., and said that friends had procured
signed statements from the members of
the former grand jury refuting the ex-
PLANTATION given by MIR. Summers for the
discontinuance Of the first, Investigation.
These signed statements by the grand
jurors disclose even more sensational in
formation than has been mentioned One
reads that there was no doubt in the
minds of many of the jury that bribery
had been committed, but they were TAR
from satisfied that Senator Dietrich was
guilty.
,.--5 So: SWore at a Juror.
It Is further stated in these documents
that when District Attorney Summers was
told Of the doubts that perplexed the
members of the jury he urged them to
continue, advising them that sufficient
evidence existed. and when he was still
confronted with hesitancy by the jury he
Went to the extreme of expressing his
displeasure by swearing at one of the
Jurors The information is contained in
a statement with the signature of the
grand juror attached.
Friends of Senator Dietrich have been
busy securing the statements of as many
Of the grand jury as possible to substan-
tiate this declaration. The information
comes from men of character that makes
it impossible to doubt. One is Foreman
Bushnell and another is Enoch t. Day,
a veteran soldier of known integrity and
truthfulness. All the members of the
grand jury who signed the statements are
men who could not: be- induced to mis-
represent facts for political reasons.
These disclosures make a keen impress
sion among those interested In the case,
and in small measure serve to win
back friends whom Senator Dietrich lost
when his indictment became known.
It is argued that corruption may have
existed without Senator Dietrich's knowl
edge, and that If Attorney Summers was
50 ardent in pushing. the first investiga-
ton, when jurors were not so favorable
to him, he may have been even more

of the many symptoms of impure blood
as we'll as disordered condition of the
stomach. Forty years ago, DR.. R. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y, found that certain herbs,
barks and roots MANUFACTURED, without
the use of alcohol or opiates, into con-
centrated extract, made a stimulating
tonic for the stomach, helped the diges-
ton and assimilation of the food and
eradicated poisons from the blood. This
is natures cure for indigestion, and by
correcting the stomach, and thereby
feeding the blood on pure materials, the
red blood corpuscles are increased and
the body established in a healthy state.
No one suffers from catarrh who has
plenty of red blood corpuscles and a
good digestion. Catarrh in all it's forms
IS stagnation of the blood. Introduce
pure red blood into the: system and
health is assured. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has borne the stamp
of public approval for the past third of
a century, and will do more to improve
the health than any other remedy. DR..
Pierce does not believe in tonic made
with alcohol or narcotics. His xGolden
Medical Discovery" he guarantees to
contain neither of these, but to be
purely vegetable and the most lasting
cure for catarrh, throat and bronchial
troubles, which, if neglected, lead to
consumption. In fact, it is specific for
heart, liver and all diseases which have
for their source poor assimilation and
