TOO GREAT EXPENSE.
Not the Reason.

II is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is
30 expensive that many people decline to
give 1t trial, but because they find It
too great tax on their credulity to be-
lieve that the published letters bearing
testimony TO the merit OF this remedy are
genuine and bona flde; especially TO those
who have realized the suffering incident
20 piles is II 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 is in a surgical operation.
This is rightfully viewed with dread by
all those afflicted. as IL means at least
q great shock to the nervous system, with
more than a possibility of utter collapse
and DEATH in the majority Of cases, too,
there is a return OF the complaint owing
20 the fact that the cause is not removed.
The proprietors OF the 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
gratifying. ipasmuoh as these letters are
written solely out OF gratitude and with
the hope that those who are afflicted as
the writer's have been may learn that re-
lief Is at hand at comparatively trihing
expense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale
by druggists at fifty cents a package OF

address upon receipt OF price.
Mr.. William Liehtenwalter, head Of the
largest printing house in Canton. o., says:
1T is with the utmost pleasure and satis-
faction that l can say l believe l am
cured of protruding and bleeding piles
after suffering more than twenty-five years.
I have been in bed for two weeks at time.

CURRIERS' PLAY FOR TROPHY
George Anderson Wins the Curling
Stanes Presented by Thomas
Fitzpatrick.

Saturday afternoon the Omaha Curling
club indulged in a keen contest on Cut-off
lake for the curling stanes presented by
Thomas Fitzpatrick, the patron of the club
for this year. The game was after the
point system, where every one fights for
himself. Only six competed. and owing to
the ice being biased and twisted the scores
were long. But George anderson, the
curler who has all along been so success
full, stood highest in points and has the
control of the stanes for a year, and If
they are won next year again by him they
will become his property The next four,
who were tied in points being G. l.. For
gan, DR.. l. G. Bishop, Robert McLain and
William j: Hislop. Robert Patrick was not
far behind.
A regular game was afterward played,
the skips being William ]. Hislop and Rob
ert McLain, Hielop counting to McLain's
The games were watched by many on
lockers, and the skaters were crowding
around all the time.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Constructively
the statehood bill was today as usual, life

Of territories was scarcely mentioned in the
course OF the days proceedings.
AS soon as the bill was laid before the
senate a number of senators were afforded
an opportunity to call up and secure the

such bills, the statehood bill was again
called up and MI. Spooner (Wis) took the

not to speak on the statehood bill. and

Smoking Cures Catarrh

The fact that the smoking OF tobacco is
injurious to the health is no argument
against the use of DR.. BlosseT's Catarrh
Cure in a pipe, or in the form Of cigarettes,
as this remedy contains no tobacco or any
injurious drug, The effect OF remedy ap-
piled directly TO the diseased part is much

penetrate the recesses Of the head. throat

TRINITY COLLEGE AND PROFESSOR
BASSETT.

The trustees of Trinity College.
North Carolina, are generally con-
demned by the southern press for not
accepting the resignation OF PROBES
sor Bassett. whose resignation was
brought about by the scathing criti-
cism hesped upon him on account OF
an article published in the South At
lantic Quarterly, in which he declared
that Booker T. Washington "is the
greatest man, save Lee, born in the
South in a hundred years.
We are in hearty accord with the
sentiment expressed by our Southern
contemporaries, not because OF any
intolerance of opinion on the race
question, but because OF the falsity
OF the statement.
If Professor Bassett had uttered a
truth, however distasteful 1t may
have been, we would have been op-
posed to the acceptance OF his resig-
nation; he would still have retalned
his usefulness as an instructor; but
when he goes out OF his way and in
suits southern intelligence 10y pro
pounding such iniquitOus fallaey up
on subject upon which the southern
mind is already intamed, with the
object. we are forced to believe, OF
gaining notoriety, cateringto north
ern approval and williully afironting
the South. then we hold that the
trustees ought not tohave given him
time to tender his resignation, but
should have summary kicked him
out.
We do not intend TO decry the
greatness or the usefulness OF Booker
T. Washington. He is prominently
the greatest OF his race in this coun-
try. His teachings and doctrines, II
followed 10y his people, would come
nearer a satisfactory solution OF the
vexed race question than any scheme
or plan we have yet heard advanced.
but he owes his reputation aud great
ness solely to the fact that he is Il
negro. Compared with Others OF his
race he is great-he may even be con-
sidered a great man when compared
with Professor Bassett; but there
are tens OF thousands OF white men
in the South, the latchets OF whose
shoes Booker T. Washington is not
worthy to unlose.
A man who can give expression to
such baseless sentiments Is not mt
instructor for southern youth; and
il he proclaims such views, abhorent
to southern thought and debasing TO
southern civilization, he should be
deposed before she virus OF his dis
torsed opinions is injected into south
ern blood.

China seems to be in the clutches oil
the Russian bear, and has to get out
the best way she can, il she has to
yield most OF Manchuria. Three
propositions were discussed the other
day In her councils as to the proper
course to be pursued. They were, to
make war on Russia, which was de-
clsred suicidal; to appeal to friendly
powers, which promised no relief, and
to settle with Russia on the best terms
possible. The latter proposition was
adopted, and it seems to be left with
Russia as to what she will demand,
and Judging from the past, we may
expect her to demand all there is any
hope OF her getting.

The last discovery OF wholesale
stealing Is among the fire insurance
adjusters OF New York city. Their
cases are now before the grand jury,
which is making a thorough investi-
CATION OF the systematic stealing
which has been going on for some
time. 1t is charged that an organized
band OF fire adjusters, for consider
alton, not only will commit perjury,
but will submit false claims OF losses
TO insurance companies; and it is
shown that millions OF dollars have
been stolen from the companies in
that way. Itmay be il all this steal
ing was stopped throughout the
country our insurance rates could be
materially reduced.
