THREE NEWCANDIDATES|
MEssRs auNrER, STRAUSS AND GRIFFITH FOR ALDERMAN.
Municipal Union Primary in Ward 8 Closed Yesterday, but Vote Has Not Been Canvassed--
 Meeting Monday Night.

With the announcements of Alderman Gaston Gunter for reelection to the City Council from Ward l. Leopold Strauss for Alderman from Ward 2 and c. A. Griffith for Alderman from Ward 5. there are now twenty-nine Montgomerians seeking nominations for municipal of- fees in the April Democratic primary.
 Of these eight are candidates for May or, four are would-be Aldermen at Large, like number seek Aldermanio honors from the First Ward, two want to repre- sent Ward in the Council. four are striving for Council seats from Ward {. Ward has four candidates and three aspire to represent the people of Ward 6.
 Of the candidates who announce this morning Mir. Gunter Is the only aspirant sented his ward in the present Council and is regarded as an excellent officiaL MT. Gunter ts . lawyer.
 Mir. Strauss is not without experience in the duties of the ofioe for which he has declared himself. having served Sev- eral terms in the Council as Alderman from Ward q He is an insurance man and takes a live tntherest in public affairs of Montgomery.
 Mfr. Grifath is . new man politically. He Is we'll known, however. in the Fifth Ward where he condusts c merchandise business.
 Every ward has avowed candidates for Alderman with the exception of Ward 3.
 The Municipal Union from that Ward has just held its primary. Last night the voting lists were closed by the Ex- ecutive Committee. with over 200 votes in hand. On account of the lateness of the hour at which some of the votes came in, 1t was decided to postpone a canvass for the result of the primary until tomorrow. If for any once e majority vote is now secured, the members of the Union will immediately hold another primary at which time only the two men receiving the highest votes in the first primary will be allowed to enter.
 No information as to the result Of the Union primary Is obtainable.
 The Municipal Union of Ward is also active. Since its organization the mem bership of the Union and the friends of tho movement have been busy among the voters of the Second Ward and it Is ex- pected that at the mass meeting tomor- row night the membership lists will show decided growth.
 The City Court room of the court house building has been secured for this meet ing and there will be seats for all. The that the meeting tomorrow night is not only for the membership but for all fho are interested in the selection of good officers in the next election
 The preliminary work of organizing a Union for Ward { Is still going on actively and those interested in seeing the Union formed say that something will in all probability be done before the end of the week.

VITAL FORGE
Is Crushed by Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening, underrnin- ing troubles, which mankind is heir to is hemorrhoids or piles. The victim is care- less and neglectful of the disease at first because the pain Is slight and the bleed- ing may only occur occasionally, or he may be reassured by the occasional dis appearance of the symptoms. And yet if at the very start he had found a rational remedy to soothe the inflammation, he would probably never have had return of this irritating malady.
 Piles may develop at any season of the year. and at almost any age of the victim; the abuse of cathartics often causes this trouble, and a period arrives when the dread of pain at stool becomes so great that the sufferer begins to neg lect the calls of nature and the bowels are either forced to retain the feces or are only partia11y cleared, on account of the suffering attendant upon a thorough movement.
 Before you reach this stage use a rem edy which removes the cause. thereby eradicating the disease, and that is the Pyramid Pile Cure which Is sold by all druggists at fifty cents a package: 1t is in the form of a suppository. Is apned di- rectly to the parts affected and brings about a complete cure, quickly and pain lessly. A valuable little book on the cause and cure of piles is published by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich, and we advise every sufferer to send for a copy of it.
 People who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the instant relief experienced from the first applica- tion. Another important advantage is the fact that anyone can use the remedy without detention from business or inter- ference with daily occupation.
 T feel it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with most distressing form of Piles. am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, 156 Whitman St., Cleveland ohioI"
