cessful iu curing every form of piles end rec
lil diseases, lias recently beeu placed on sale
at druggists Hint it to safe to say that when

mon ! rouble.
M. M. ('. Hinklej, of (101 Mississippi St.,
Tinllinupolio, Ind., saya: Iliad been a terrible
HUlliior from piles for 15 years and no reme
dies iienefltted mc, until I saw art advertise
ment of the Pyramid Pile Cure ; I got a
package, also a package of Pyramid Pills
and used both according to directions I
was astonished at the immediate relief ob
tained and now I honestly lielleve the Pyra
mid to be the only certain cure fur piles.
Xiiat you may realize huw bad i was, I
will say that I was confined to my bed and
went before the college physicians hdre win
sold my case was a new one to tl.eru and
wauled suven or eight huudrtd ilullnrs to
uii icrtake it euro ; Lite great pain had brought
4n a ruptut'c, and I knew an operation
would he death to me .011 account of blood
flioisoning. Nearly everyone here knows of
my terrible suffering from piles and I ftul
thut 1 cannot praise the Pyramid Pile Cure
oik ugh, and I'.o Pjomid Pills also. My
hu ihtnd will j Mil inn in highly ricomineud

Chairman Ilnnna and the Senato Again.
Cincinnati, Feb. 18. Considerable
stir- in political circles was caused here
yesterday by the public declaration of
George B. Cox in favor of the appoint
ment of Chairman Hanna as Sher
man's successor in the senate. There
has been much published about fac
tional differences between old parti
sans of McKInley and Sherman on the
one hand and those of Bushnell and
Foraker on the other hand. The latter
were said to oppose the appointment of
Hanna. As Mr. Cox is genrally con
sidered as one of tha most prominent
leaders of the Bushnell-Foraker ele
ment, the positive statement of Mr.
Cox Is regarded as reflecting an agree
ment among Republican leaders in
Ohio on Chairman Hanna for the seat.

Tours to Florida.
No district in America presents, during tho
Winterseason, ao many varied attractions as
the State of Florida, fiesldos its delightful
climate, which to one estap'ng from the cold
and unhealthful changes ot the North Bcems
almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a laud of
sport and pleasuro, Along its eleven hundred
miles of salt-water coast and in iu twelve
hundred fresh-wator lakes are flsh of almost
every conceivable variety, from tho migra
tory tribos common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompauo, and others of a more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can tho angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds "satiety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers,
aud wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may bo found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manateo bunting may also bo in
dulged in by tho more adventurous tourist.
With its matchloss climate, its omtigo
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its
extensive forosts, Florida piesents unrivaled
attractions for tho valetudinarian, the lover
of nature, tho sportsman and the explorer.
To this attractivo stnto the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company lias arranged four personally-conducted
tours during the season of
1807. leaving by speoial train January 20,
February 0 and 23, and March 0. The first
throe tours will admit of a sojourn of two
weeks in thlsdellghtftil land; tickets for tho
fourth tourwijl bo valid to return until May

to the part he took In the organlza- ,
tt'rti of the company, but he panted
the question, which was aimed at ex
tracting an admission that he was at i
"the head of the combine.
"Do you mean to be understood," he
was asked, "as saying that, as treas- I
urer of the company, you have never i
made any effort to discover whether a
proper price had been paid for the
properties, and for which 2MW0,TOfr
was issued?"
"The net f,papei-s were not accessible
to me. The appraising committee
were men f the highest standing, and
had the utmost reliance in their re
port."
Mr. Flint said he had been Instruct
ed legallly Uiat it would be within his
province to abstain from testifying be
fore the committee. "Instead of doing
that," Mr. Flint said, "I have come
here voluntarily to testify."

"I don't know."
Asked if the price of goods In 1893

claimed ignorance of thiB matter, say
ing It was not his business, and add

States Itubber company is an Indepen
dent organization, whose governing
board is not drawn from sub-companies,
and has no connection with
them. Witness said that the Para
Rubber company, in its competition
with the other companies, lost $750,000.
The failure of a number of 'rubber con
cerns was due to the fact that they
made counterfeit goods, which failed
to bring the required price.
He continued: "The American wage
earner is enabled to sustain his rate of
wages by the existence of superior
organizations of manufacturers. By
means of centralization the American
wage earner can compete against cheap
labor countries like China and Japan."
Asked how It was that the United
States Rubber company almost doubled
the price of rubber shoes since 193,
witness said he was unable to explain,
and claimed that the company he rep
resented turned out the best shoo In
the country today.

FREE CUBE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send Els Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that it offered free but
sometimes a man so overflows with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery fa
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
Tr. Is nnnn this rtriiitsinal that a resident of
Kalamazoo, Mich., desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will ourethem
of any form of nervous debility ; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such wen are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural site aud vigor. As it
easts notliinR to try the experiment it would
seam that any roan, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attaok men
who never stopped to realise what might be
the Anal result, ouaht to be deeply interested
in a remedy which, will restore them Ao
health, strength aud vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. As the remedy in question was the
result of many years rebearch as to what
combination would tie peculiarly euectiveln
restoring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to write for
suoli a remedy at onoo. A request to II. C.
Olds, llox 1718, Kaiamasoo, Mich., stating
that you are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but tiiat you wish to
nmUu use of the medicine by giving Ita trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information osme from.
The prescription is sent free aud although
some may wonder how Mr. Olds eau afford to
give away his dist'ovcry, there is no doubt
about tho offer being genuine. Cut this out
and sond to llr. Olds so that he may know
how you came to write him. 12 !W-78t

yesterday Sneaker Pro. Tern. Wellep
