A petition signed by more than a thou
sand residents Of Omaha who are employed
at the South Omaha packing houses was
sent to Mayor Moores, with a letter ask
ing him to investigate the matter. The pc
tition is as follows:
We, the undersigned, desire respectfully

pray for such relief as you may be able
Thousands of the residents of Omaha
work III the packing houses at South
Omaha and are dependent upon the Omaha
Street Railway company to carry them to
and from their work. These men must
get to work on time or lose time by being
late, and the effort of the men in the past
to catch the overcrowded cars has caused

w-orkingmen are going to and coming from
their work, the service of the Omaha street

times tlat the cars which do run arc over

and the passengers inside are herded into

more cars be run; thai they run closer to-

end of Q street, South Omaha, and that
at night between $50 and $50 cars run in

Speaking of the matter, E. B.. Cook said:
Men on Vinton street have been forced
to put Instructions on the track to com
pei the cars to stop so that they could get
to work on time. Men have stood at the
corners along Vinton street at 6:10 a. m.
and six cars have passed, refusing to stop
on account of the crowded condition, before
they could get a car. 1t is a shameful
condition, and the street railway COM

IRRITATING TROUBLE QUICKLY
OVERCOr1E.
II You Only Find Out the Right
Course to Pursue.

If You Only Find out the Right
Course to Pursue.
Many physicians who advertise to cure
piles, without the lid of the knife, simply
use Pyramid Pile Cue remedies. They do
SO because they know 1t is the best medi-
cine for obtaining a proper combination of
the most scientific ingredients for the cure
of piles.
Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an expert
mental stage, but is an established remedy
and is recognized and used by the best ply
sicians in the country. Being in suppository
form, it reaches the trouble at once and the
healing process is quick and effective; inn
mediate results are obtained, and before the
patient realizes the fact he has recovered
from the pain, suffering and Irritation
which this trouble causes.
Children who suffer from this painful
trouble obtain relief at once. 1t is we'll
with a very young child to reduce the size
Of the suppository before using. However,
If children are afflicted with piles, they
should be treated without delay or the
trouble may become chronic. Hundreds OF
little ones have been cured with Pyramid
Pile Cure.
The prevention of piles is better than the
cure and they can be prevented If only
people would look to the regularity of the
bowels and not become constipated. Con-
stipation and it's attendant ills can be
avoided by the use Of Pyramid Pills. The
proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure saw
that II was necessary to use with the ma
iority of their patients a mild non-irritating
laxative, and the Pyramid Pills for consti-
patton were the result Of much careful
thought and patient investigation. Pyramid
Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere for fifty and twenty
Ave cents per package.
A little book on the nature and cure of
hemorrhoids or piles will be furnished free
upon application to the Pyramid Drug Co..
