Last ; Important to Sufferers, MAY ORTAIN A LASTI ES. HOW You URE FORM F Operation, No Remedy, But the Work. There are some people who have piles regularly and frequently as other people have colds. Any little bowel trouble will bring them on, any extra exertion, as In lifting, will produce them, and, in faet, will often appear without any apparent provo- cation. Piles, however, is much more seri- ous than a cold as the tendency is always to grow worse until the trouble becomes deep-seated and chronic, or developes into some fatal rectal disease Whi'e there are many pile remedies which glve rellef, yet there is but one which not only glves instant relief, but at the same time makes a permanent cure, and that ls the well known Pyramid Plle Cure, This remedy fs composed of simple, harm- lcss vegetable ingredients, but combine so effectively and act so promptly and thor- oughly that {t cures every form of plles whether ftching, blind, bleeding or protrud- €. In long-standing cases the Pyramid Pile Cure has proven to be the only certain cure exeept a surgical operation, and its advantages over an operation are many, as 1t is painless, causes no delay or interfer- with dally occupation and, last but not least, is cheaper than any surgical operation could possibly be, costing 50 conts a package at any drug store.

The greater part of the time she spent at Hull House lnvestigating the kin- dergarten, kitchengarten, cooking and sew- ing classes that are being carried on there among the children. This is the branch of work for which there is the greatest need in Omaha at present. In speaking of the work in Chicago Miss Magee sald: “Excepting the equipment, which is of the most improved sort, the cooking classes are little better than our own. The sewing classes Include more than ours. There are classes in plain sewing, millinery and dressmaking. We have uoth- ing to compare with the boys' manual train- ing classes, which are completely equipped. The boys are taught in classes of twelve and_fitteen. “The kindergarten excels ours in equipment, but in kitchengarten work we have nothing to compare with the Hull House work. “Twelve girls Is the maximum lmit of the classes, which are provided with a teacher and a musiclan. There is a song for everything and as the little girly bring out and work with their materials, the accom- panying song will forever fasten the princi- ples in their minds.” Miss Magee brought back a great deal of literature and Intends introducing these new methods as soon as possible. Her first work will be the distributing of flower and vegetable seeds among the children of the industrial classes. A large box of seeds has been sent to her by a Sioux City com- pany and in the planting of these she will instruct the children. Later the children will be required to bring samples of what they bave raised. This plan was tried last summer and proved successful beyond ex- pectation, especially among the Italian children In the South Nineteenth street dis- trict As soon as the control of Tenth street city misslon is settled the improvement of the grounds there will be commenced The playground will be inclosed, swing: bullt and a sand pile boxed in.

BERLIN, April While it is true that everybody here is tired of the China busi- ness, the newspapers point out that Ger- many cannot withdraw its troops until tae Chinese court has given evidence by more than words of its readiness to fulfill ‘Le conditions of peace imposed by the concert of the powers. The Cologne Volks Zeltung says: “Judging from the latest news it is plain that the Boxer murder svstem against missionaries and Europeans will imme- dlately break loose on the retirement of the allies.” Cable dispatches from America, espe- clally those reprinted in America, imputing to Germany Shylock-like tendencles, as in- sisting on the pound of flesh in China, aud also representing Germany's indemuity higher than the facts warrant, have created here, both officially and privately, disagreo- lub and harity. w» #Ww meeting of the athletic women of the state in Lincoln last week The quarterly meeting of the woman's | auxillary to the Board of Missions of the diocese of Nebraska was held at All Saints' | church on Friday afternoon.

OMcially it was pointed out to the correspondent of the Associated Press that the figures all along quoted in the American press are wrong. The correct iademnity figures are those the correspondents here of the Assoclated Press cabled to the Assoclated Press, April 13, showlng Russia’s demands to be 360,000 000 marks, France 260,000,000 marks, Ger- many 240,000,000, the United States 100,- 000,000, etc. Germany's official figures pre- sented to the Reichstag show that Gers many has already spent more than it asks. The above figures certainly do not include the private claims put forth by the va- rious powers. How large they will be no- body yet knows, because they are uncol- lated and unpresented. Papers here ques- tlon whether the United States spent 100, 000,000 marks. They also point out that the transportation of the German troo such a long distance was expensive, refer | to the murder of Baron von Ketteler, and say that the fact that Count von Waldersec was appointed commander-in-chief of the allled forces rendered it necessary for Ger- | many to send a proportionate contingent. Quite Unexp able, They Say. The view prevails here that the American reproaches and intimations against Germany are unjust. Official circles here say th are unable to account for ‘“‘the systematic illwill in the matter shown by the United States press.” The correspondent of the Associated Press has interviewed a high official, who said nothing was known here officfally in regara to the alleged combination. of the United States, France and Russla to compel Ger- many to reduce her China claims “The whole story is absurd,” he said. “If the claimg must be scaled, Russia shou'd be the first to begin, since she makes the largest claim. Germany can verify the sor- rectness of hers, mark by mark." Discussing the sources of China's borrow- ings the official referred to sald “The United States authoritics have been | informed that many rich are ready to lend money to the govern- ment. It 18 also expected that American and French investors would do so, aud perhaps English and German money will be forthcoming.
