Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins ami lower part ot the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi

the stomach, etc. A moisture, like |M>rspira

The work of recovering tbe bodies of the

Very Cold Weather.
Kans>s Ctrv. January 8.-The block
ade on railroads extending west from
here, is almost complete. Local passen
ger trains are being run to Topeka on
the Santa Fe and Union Pacific roads,
and to Atchison over tbe Missouri Pacitic
and Burlington and Missouri river roads.
Otherwise western traffic is at a stand
still. No trains are moving on the To
peka Kansas line. The Council Bluffs
and Omaha is still open, though labor
ing under difficulties. On overland
roads, several trains are lying snow
bound at way stations. Owing to high
winds and the intense cold, it is impos
sible at present to clear the track, and
it is expected that the general blockade
cannot be raised before next week. So
far as known.delayed passengers arv be
ing well cared for. and report* of sufler
ing are considered unfounded. Lines
running east from here, have not been
seriously affected, though trains are
generally from one to three .hours late.
The Fort Scott anti Gulf road is in good
condition.
Of a train load of bogs that arrived
here to-day, seven ear loads were frozen
to death. A stock train is reported
blockaded between Atchison and this
city, on this Missouri Pacitic. Telegraph
wires to western points are in a gener
ally disabled cond Hon. ami in many
cases communication is cut off entirely,
or maintained onlv "by circuitous routes.
The mercury in this city stands 12 de
grees below zero to-night, and a strong
wind blows from the plains. I lie lull
severity of the storm, however, has not
been felt here.
The Cold Wave.
St. Lori*. January B.—The cold wave
predicted by the signal service to sweep
over thi< section of cou itry and extend
to tbe Gulf of Mexico, made its appear
ance about midnight last night, in tbe
shape of a snow storm. The tempera
ture was mild and the snow damp and
heavy, but before wuorning a high wind
rose, tbe temperature fell rapidly, Ilie
snow ceased o fall and to-day tbe storm
turned into a regular northern blizzard.
Tbe snow which fell last night was
swept into drifts, but none of them were
of a serious character The mercury
continued Io sink, and all outdoor na
ture put on tbe garb and appearance of,
and was in reality, dread winter. Loco
motion was difficult anti street traffic
impeded, but so far there has been no
serious detention to business. Tbe ther
mometer this morning marked HI above.
To-night it reads, zero to 5 below,
according Io location, and tbe wind
sweeps through the streets at a velocity
of from 25 to 31) miles an hour.
Reports from numerous interior towns
in Missouri, central and sou hern Illi
nois are of a uniform character, and note
high winds and low temperature, but
not mueb snow. Railroad travel bas
been obstructed in all directions, but so
far as Is known at tills writing, there
bas been no serious damage in tbe State,
or east or south of here. The Omaha
division of the Wabssb is blocked, and
some of tbe branches of the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas, ana Southwestern
Kansas are seriously obstructed, but the
main line of the road is in operation.
Trains generally are delayed from one
to three hours on Missouri roads, and
eastern trains are feeling the w eather,
bnt no serious detensions have yet been
experienced. The full forceof ttie storm,
it is said, has not been felt here yet, and
additional information may be obtained
later.
A STROKE OF ECONOMY.
A Young Man Living Throe
Months on a Nickel.
Only One Case Out of Hundreds of
Mysterious Existence- Free Lunch
Philanthropists.
"Do you see that genteel young man
going by ?" said a hotel clerk to a Light
reporter a few days ago. " That man
lias achieved the greatest feat of dotres
tie economy on record.”
"How is that? Tell me about It,” re
plied Hie reporter.
I will, if you don't mention names. He
belongs to a good family and is educated
and retined. and it might make him feel
uncomfortable to figure in a newspaper
article in Hial role.”
IL—"All right; names don't go."
•Well, you see, be is well dressed and
w ear* Ilia clothes as one used to it. But
s week ago lie was a different looking
man llis clothes were of good material
ami make, but nrnalatakaoTy seedy, just
falling below the shabby genteel grade.
Some six months ago be came to San
Antonio and slopped al this house. He
was looking fora location. Had come
•West to grow up with tbe country.'
< ontrary to expectations lie was not
worried to death with offers of employ
ments. with big salaries and nothing to
do. He was free with ills money,
treated us clerks often and lib
erally. and saw the elephant, pav
ing regulation entrance fees. Ibis
lasted tor several weeks, anil then be
sought a private noaruing place.'jusl for
home comforts, you know .' A «ort of
anxiety settled on his face, and his vis
its to tbe hotel were less frequent, as
were his treats. He came sometimes
and seriously asked if I knew of anyone
needing a book-keeper, traveling sales
man, etc. Then he became less partic
ular in his choice ol employ menis. till be
was w i Hing to do any tiling Ilir changes
of clolbing were less Irequeni. and dual
ly settled down io one suit ol cassimere:
ihe rest lie had probably left at his
uncle's for *a ekeeping. Often a wist
ful. wolfish look gleamed in his keen but
honest eyes. 1m» lasted for several
months, and as cold weather came on,
became more and more settled in expres
sion. About a week ago he came tn 1
hardly knew him. A great change had
taken place. His face was radiant, and
a new. neat business suit had replaced
the fast tattering one ttint had dune so
long and faithful service. He bad the
old spring in bis step, and heartiness in
the clasp ot his bands. I knew a change
had taken place—in other words, he
must nave “struck it” at last. In answer
to tbe usual question as to what he was
driving at, and bow he had come on
since I bad seen him, be said that lie had
secured a situation at $5O a mouth in a
mercantile establishment. When be first
arrived an otter of less than $l5O would
have been an Insult. Tbe growing
cold weather and continued adverse for
tune bad broken bis pride, and lie had
written to the old man back East who
had remitted him $lOl with some whole
some advice. He took both and profited
by the same. During the holidays be
aceep ed a por.ersbip in a mercantile
bouse here, and by making himself
iiandv whenever an opportunity offered
be proved bis ability in an advanced po
sition, and secured a permanent en
gagement at the above modest salary,
with a promise of a rise if merited.
Wonderful how welcome ibis had be
come, after his siege with poverty. My
hearty Empathy in bis "good fortune”
gained on his confidence, and lie said:
•• ’Do y oujknow 1 have beenjawful bard
up. I actually maintained myself for
three whole months on tbe sum of live
cents, and here is tbe original capital
y et, showing a nickel coin.’
“ ’You don't tell me ! How was that.
Jack?’
•• ’Well, I'll tell you, but,old boy, it’s
between us, you know.'
•• ’Little by little my money disap
peared, and having bad a falling out
with tbe Governor and left home in a
miff. I was too proud to apply for assis
tance. 1 bad several offers of situations,
but they did not come up to my idea,
and 1 declined. Then tbe offers stopped
and I made applications, bin nobody
wanted me alter looking me over
and noting tbe shabbiness of my ’togs.'
Fortunately I bad made a friend, a true
friend, as lie was a friend in need. He
is a ’professional' man who barely
ekes out enough for his room rent anti
to pay for an occasional square meal.
He knew that I was hard up. and so
ottered to share with me bis humble
quarters and bed. But he did
nut know bow awfully ha d up
I really was. and was too con
siderate and delicate to make too
close inquiries as to my financial stand
ing. My last article of value had found
its way to ’my uncle’s,' and my last
nickel lay at the bottom of my pocket.
1 hail pretty well learned tbe free lunch
racket, and found that as good as it was
fur an impecunious fellow, a little capi
tal was necessary, and 1 bad gotten
down to the small end. The question
was. how to get Hie full benelit of tbe
nickel? 1 screwed up enough courage
to ask my room-mate If be could make
use of a cigar a day, and pay me a
nickel tor the same. He elevated bls
eyebrows, and with generous delicacy
torebore questioning, answered in the
affirmative. Going into a saloon where
a free-lunch was set out, I would step
up to tbe bar and ask for a nick*! cigar,
and then carelessly walk to the lunch
counter and eat all 1 could, and then
pass out unobserved if possible. 1
would then sell the cigar to tbe good
Samaritan of doubtful social position,
but of big heart, with whom I roomed.
With said nickel ano'her saloon
would be visited next day, and
so around, each day tbe tree
lunch racket was worked for all
there was in it. For over three months
that nickel did service in getting me a
lunch once a day, until the saloon men
began to become a little too well ac
quainted with me, and often gave me
rather hard and suspicious looks when
the cigar was tran*ferred to my poeket.
My pride gave away, and Ihe rest you
know, old boy. 1 think that 1 have
learned a few iliingsthal will be of value
tome, and with the new year of 1880 I
have turned over a new leaf. I have
learned tbe value of money, and also of
friends. During Dixie Williams’ visit I
heard him abuse gamblers for all the bad
on earth, but 1 found that a gambler,
and a one-horse gambler at that, bad
shown more of that divine virtue, charl
tu, than many who prayed so long for the
miserable sinners.'
“ You keep your eye on him.
Mr. Light, and' mind you. if he
lives be will yet make his mark or 1 am
badly mistaken. Pity that some of the
chairmen of the ways and means com
mittees of Congress hail not his financial
ability.”
