AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE,

Has It ever been your happy lot to be told by your physician that you must

•'• go to a hospital and submit to an op-• e ration? If so, you remember with : what dread and shrinking you awaited . the day when you must endure tli*

• knife. • .1 The present day surgeon appears to

be possessed by a mania for operating, •specially In .cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and while the greater number of the profession do not recommend this

' ' "last resort" unless they honestly be-- lleve it necessary, the' fact remains

that much needless dperating is done, and the patient put; to much expense

. and suffering for What? To obtain a possible temporary relief;

' these "words are ueett advisedly, because In nine cases out of ten the affliction

> returns and the patient Is Just where he started frcm. Oftentimes he could 'be cured much more simply and eas­ily <by the use of such a remedy as

' the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has come to be recognised as the best remedy

' on the market for the painful disease •••'* named, and the druggists now sell more

Of It than all other pile remedies .com­bined.

Uhe writer personally knows people * who were afflicted with the worst form

of bleeding and protruding piles and - who were permanently cured by tho

use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every • • one of these cases the attending phy­

sician has assured the sufferer that only by an operation could he rid him­self of the disease: so much for the

- Infallibility of the doctors. This remedy, which Is sold by ah

druggists at the low price of 50 cents, • ;-1e in- suppository toha. Is applied di­

rectly to the parts affected, and per­forms Its work quickly and painlessly. *Vhe Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., will mall free to any address a book telling all about piles or hemorrhoids, their c^use and cure.

A si&geftlon la offered that If the reader Is afflicted, or knows anyone who la, this book be sent for, as it will be found Invaluable.

Street Commissioner of Sioux City Is

Alleged to Have Demanded a "Rake

off" for Securing the Purchase of

Certain Bills of Lumber From a Firm

in That City.

Special to Tunes-Republican, Sioux City, Nov. 10.—Charges of

official corruption may be made against former Street Commissioner Erickson of tliis city. An investigation of his record is belnir made by the srand jury of Woodbury county. The Investiga­tion is the direct result of an alleged visit made last week by Krickson to Max Dahms and a demand made on Dahms for $£00 for Erickson's serv­ices in securing a purchase of lumber from Dahms'& Son by the city. Erick­son, it Is declared, Insisted that tlu money had been promised him in con­sideration of the deal being consum-ated. Dahms refused to pay the money and Erickson left In a rage.

The Investigation was not instituted dlrecfly by Mr. Dahms. although it is known he Is Indignant against Erick­son. The experience was told by Dahms privately, but word of it came to County Attorney U. G. Whitney, and yesterday the latter ordered a subpoena for Max Dahms, with a determination to probe the whole affair.

Erlokson's resignation as street com-mlsioner was accepted by the city council last Wednesday afternoon. With tears In his eyes Erickson had ta­ken farewell, and an hour later was hurrying away to Chicago.

The same afternoon the grand Jury convened.

Just before the acceptance of Erick­son's resignation he Is said to have call­ed on Max Dahms. Max Dahms and his brother Otto, purchased the salvage In the old Booge packing plant about ninety days ago. Not long arter, the city, thru John Erickson, as street corti-mlssioner and Alderman I. N. Stone, as chairman of the street committee, bought 200,000 feet of lumber from the Dahms.

The price paid w$s $15.50 per thous­and, or a total of $3,100. According to the story told privately by Dahms, Erickson hinted rather broadly that something would be coming to him If the contract should be .successfully consummated. Dahms, It appears, in­dicated a willingness to give any one a present who hud favored him.

Dahms, however, had In mind noth­ing like $200, for It hurdly occurred to Mm that Erlckaon was selling out. Ho iiad intended to Jclve Erickson a Christ­mas present of moderate value, Just be­cause Erickson had acted the part of a good fellow.

However, It la claimed that Erickson visited him last week. Dahms was told that $200 was not an unreasonable amount. Basing his claim upon the fact that It had been promised him in consideration of obtaining the contract. Erickson, it is said, demanded the money. Dahms indignantly refused and Erlclcson grew angry, trying to frighten Dahms into paying the money. There were several lumber buyers near by who probably overheard a good deal ol the conversation. When Erickson left. It was with no Intention of renew­ing his demand.

Montezuma. Spec ia l to Times-Republ ican .

Montezuma, Nov. 10.—Our high school football toain mot trouble Sat­urday at Victor. They had arranged for a game with the Victor team there and when our boys arrived they found Victor's line consisted of one high school man from Victor, the principal of the Victor school, the principal of the Ladora school, and the line filled out with sluggers from all over the country,

A vigorous protest was made at once, but the boys were Informed that they could play the team as it was or stand their own expenses. So they consented to let the game begin. At the end of tho first half the Montezuma team withdrew on the grounds that Victor insisted on furnishing the umpire, ref­eree, time keeper, etc., and where they could not make a score the Mtonte-zama team was penalized on every turn sufficient to make It evident that slugging was the game, not football.

Special .to Times-Republican. Ames, Nov. 10.—The animal hus­

bandry department of the Iowa State College lias announced the names of the five students who will represent tho college during the International Livestock Exposition from November 28 to December 5, 1903. They are W. A. Tener, Brevard, North Carolina; C. E. Howard, New Providence, Iowa; E. A. Stout, Stout, Iowa; and H. B. Ellen-berger, Ames, Iowa, afl from the junior class; and F. M. Hansen, Gold-field, Iowa, of the senior olass. These students have gained their places on the team by their superior class work. The Iowa team Is always chosen In this way: It Is announced at the be­ginning of the term that the five men making the highest dally average on their class room work will be selected to defend the Spoor Trophy In Chi­cago.

The competition was unusually keen this year as there were a large num­ber of strong men all desirous of gain­ing the distinction of representing their college In this contest. The contest tto be held at Chicago in December, promises to be the hardest fought in the history of the International exposi­tion. The coveted Spoor trophy Is much thought of by the best colleges in the United States and Canada. This makes the fourth annual contest. The first was held in 1900 when the Uni­versity of Illinois boys (who were then under the training of Professor W. J. Kennedy, who has trained the Iowa College boys since 1901) won the Spoor trophy and over 70 per cent of the money prizes. At that time the Uni­versity of Wisconsin stood second. In 1902 the Iowa State College again won the trophy and every first prize, the University of Minnesota ranking sec­ond.

This year many new colleges are entering for the first time; some of which, no doubt, will prove strong. Minnesota, Canada and Wisconsin, are all out to win, and have unusually strong men. The boys from the state college are very young in years, but when it comes to Judging livestock they are not much very much different from those who have gone In former years to the International exposition.

This year's team is being trained by Professors Kennedy and and Mr. Dinsmore.

COMES TO STUDY IN IOWA.

Noted English Eduoator Will Study the State University.

Iowa City, Nov. 10.—Mr. T. Gregory Foster, professor of English in Uni­versity college, London, and a member of the Alfred Moseley educational com­mission, has written Professor George E. MacLean that he will arrive In Iowa City, Wednesday morning, November 11, to observe Iowa's State university and its work. Professor Foster and President MacLean were co-workers In in the British museum of London years ago, but It Is more especially on ac­count of the university's fame for Eng­lish work that this noted professor of English has been chosen especially to visit the State university of Iowa.

The present educational commission is the seoond commission which Alfred Mosely has sent at his own expense to this country to examine Into conditions and Institutions as they exist in the states. The first commission sent some two years since reported ths significant fact that one of the reasons why the workingman of ths tJhlted States was of a higher grade than the laborer of England was because the former en-Joyed better educational opportunities, and It is on account of this report that Mr. Moseley dispatched the second commission here to examine into our state and Industrial educational facil­ities.

President MaoLean met Mr. Alfred Moseley when he was abroad the past summer, and the latter informed hint of his Intention of sending the second commission and also of his intention to educate his two sons In some American university instead of at Oxford.
