£WF»5 wSSh? fciL '-11*^21 THE feURGEOK'S KNIFB. •A Better W»jr Slow Discovered, WMeh Cares Kvery Form of Files Without Pain or lncoavcnlwee, Many people suffer the pain, annoy ance and often serious results from Pjl«» for years, and after trying the many lotions, salves, ointments and so called curcs without cure or relief, give up the hope of a final cure rather than submit to the intense pain and danger to life which a surgical operation in volves. Happily all this suffering is no longer necessary since the discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure, a remedy which is approved by the medical profession as being absolutely safe, free from any trace of opiates, narcotic or mineral poisons and which may be depended upon as a certain cure (not merely re lief) in any form of piles, whether Itching, blind, bleeding or protruding. Some of the hundreds of cures recently made are little short of miraculous, as a perusal of the following will dem onstrate: Dr. J. W. Megan, Leonardvllle, Kan., writes: "I have used a box of Pyramid Pile Cure and received more benefit and .relief than from any remedy I had used In the past twenty-two years." Jamea Jemerso, Dubuque, la., says: "I sufficed from piles for six years have just used the Pyramid Pilg, Cure and am a well man." Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: "Have been a sufferer from the pain and an noyance of piles for fifteen years. The Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me Immediate relief and in a short time a complete cure." The Pyramid Pile Cure may be found at druggists at 60 cents per package. A book on cause and cure of piles will be sent by mail by addressing the Pyra mid Drug Company, Marshall, Mich. DR. B. F.

Clinton, Nov. 18.—A romance has just come to light here which reads more like a fairy tale than a true story. Fifteen years ago Mrs. S. L. Potter, of this city, separated from her husband, one Gruber, who took with him their only child, a beautiful little girl of 7 years. During all this time the mother has been trying to secure a trace of her missing daughter, but failed to learn her whereabouts. In the meantime the little girl had grown to womanhood, married and now has a family of her own. As soon as the daughter learned the true state of affairs.she commenced to hunt for her mother and never aban doned the search until finding her par ent from whom she was separated many years ago, notwithstanding the fact that she often pleaded with her father to tell her what had become of her mother. The family moved to Portland, where they now reside. A few weeks ago a sister of Gruber was on her death bed and to her the dis tracted woman appealed for Informa tion relative to her mother. At first the dying woman refused to divulge the se cret, but the pleadings of the young woman were so pathetic that she told her niece that her mother resided at Clinton, Iowa. The daughter at once wrote a letter to Mrs. Potter here and after some explanations they became convinced of the relationship existing between them. The daughter sent her mother a ticket to Portland and last night Mrs. Potter started to the Pacific coast and soon there will be a happy reunion of mother and daughter, who have been separated for a decade and a half. IOWA CITY STRIKE. Iron Workmen on New College liulldlnK Quit. Iowa City, Nov. 18.—Another strike is on at the state university collegiate building and this time every ironworker on the building has quit work and things In that branch of the work are at a standstill.

This de mand was not acted upon and words took place between the foreman and the superlntedent resulting in the fore man's discharge. When the action ol the superintendent was reported to the iron workers every man on the job walked out and most of them have re turned to their homes in Chicago, re fusing to work if proper and safe scaf folding is not provided for their protec tion.

'." .' gaming Ttmes^^ejmlilican Iflarshatttottnt, foaia, The Iowa Congressman Besieged by Newspaper Men on Arrival at Washington. Declines Interviews on the Questions of Committees and Prospective Legislation. Peculiar Case of Attempted Suieide at Cedar Rapids—News of Iowa. Washington, Nov. 18.—Register spe cial: Col. D. B. Henderson, prospective speaker of the national house of rep resentatives, arrived last evening and registered at the Normandie. The com ing of Col. Henderson had been antici pated by the alert newspaper men and in a short time more than a score of the representatives of metropolitan news papers were at the hotel desk sending up their cards. Col. Henderson re ceived them all. Just as he has been ac customed to receiving them during the past eighteen years. But when they asked for interviews that was a differ ent matter. Nobody knows better, and probably no one now quite so well, that the speaker of the house must be non-com mittal. Col. Henderson comes to his exalted position wvll equipped by ex perience, as well as by natural ability and he knows that the man who is to have complete control of the initiatory legislation for this republic must not foreshadow the policies which are to be pursued. To give interviews upon pending legislation would be to give notice to all of the cormorants of the lobby what they may expect and what plans they should formulate for their numerous schemes. Moreover, for the speaker to talk abuut public policies would be worse than imprudent it wor: wuuld be betrayal of confidences. The president is always the head of the government of the expanding and expanded republic. To nobody does he give his confidences so completely as he ^ives them to the speaker of the house of representatives. Moreover, the speaker is the recipient of the conli denees of the leaders of the senate, which is the co-ordinate legislative branch of the national legislature. For the reasons briefly outlined and for numerous co-relative reasons. Col. Henderson declined to be interviewed for publication, but he received all of the newspaper men in the most cordial manner. He talked to them quite free ly about the recent elections and about the vast questions which recent events have brought prominently before the people of this republic, arul of the world but his remarks were of a gen eral nature and not one of the trained newspaper men here would dream of distorting his friendly talks into the form of an interview. Col. Henderson will be busy, very busy, from this date until the adjourn ment of the Fifty-sixth congress. There are many congressmen already here, and they are arriving on every train. The prospective speaker must see all of them and listen to their desires in the matter of committee assignments. There are upwards of eight" new mem bers of the house of representatives. Each one of them has his individual ambitions, and his ambitions fur the people whom he represents. Therefore each one of them will want to be on this, that and the other committee. It will be a gigantic task for Col. Hender son to properly dispose ot all of them without making serious mistakes and without causing friction. But we all know that he will be equal to the task. Col. Hepburn arrived last 'Monday and has been quietly looking after rou tine business for his constituents. He is regarded as one of the strongest men in the 'house and will from the first be a commanding figure in all matters of1 legislation. Iowa's five new members are strong men and they will maintain the high standard which Iowa has always main tained in the house by acting in perfect harmony with the veterans. Henderson, Hull, Hepburn, Lacey, Dolliver and CousinB. It seems strange to speak of Dolliver and Cousins as veterans, be cause it seems but yesterday when they came here as young men, new begin ners. But they have held their own and have advanced to committee lead erships". Tom Hedge, Joe Lane, Lot Thomas, Smith Mcpherson and our friend Haugen, will have to "stir their stumps" to do as well as these young "veterans" have done from the begin ning of their national careers. But no body doubts that they will keep up with the procession. Dr. J. C. Waterman has been ap pointed a pension examining surgeon at Council Bluff*.
