+ Atom ues A THE SCHOOL CHILDREN’S EYES. Contagious Diseases Epidemic in New | York, the Health Commis- sioner Says. New York, *July 31.—Contagious eye diseases have reached the propor- tions of an epidemic among the school children of Manhattan accord- ing toa report by the health com- missioner. “A few weeks ago,” he says, “in order to learn the extent of an eye disease in the schools of Manhattan, lappointed twelve specialists to go as far as they could in the fortnight of the school year then remaining. They examined 55,470 children in thirty-six schools and learned that 6,670 or 12 per cent, exhibited con- tagious eye diseases. Of these 2,318 were of the severest trpe of trachona, necessitating al- mest immediate operation. In the opinion of the examiners a!l of these children should be excluded from the schools to prevent further infec- tion.” The commissioner asked that a room be set apart in each building suitable for medical examinations. To this the board agreed. Several of its members expressed an opinion however, that the reports of the spe- cial examiners have been grossly exaggerated Robbers Delay a W edding.

Washington, July 31.—Senator und friends were awaiting his return for the wedding. After waiting con- siderable time the guests became uneasy and a party started in search, MeMillen was found within a quar- ter ofa mile of the town, being un- conscious with his skull fractured, under the vehicle. He had robbed of over $100, a gold watch, revolver and a draft fornearly $500, He is still uncouscious with little hopes of recovery The couple expected toleave imme- diately after the ceremony for Taco- ia, Washington, MeMillen holds a lucrative position.

A Washington correspondent compares the records of tive “regular” with five volunteer regiments that figured in the war with Spain, The volunteer regiments hadnota singe man killed or wound ed, but they have 3.000 (less 3) pen sion claims filed. The regular regi- ments lost 564 in killed and wounded aud have only filed 760 claims. Behind these figures the fine work of the professional claim agent and the “pull” of the Congressman for his volunteer constitutents is readily discerned. The “regular’’ has not so many friends to pull the wires at Wasbington for him. It is our civil war experience over again, The grand total of Union soldiers who were killed or died of wounds or disease during “the great conflict” was 279,379. Three times that number of pensioners have been carried on the roils for ten years past. Garfield said about 1879 that the civil war pension list had then reach- ed its limit; to-day, twenty-three years later, it carries close upon 1,- 000,000 names, four times as many asin 1879. Abraham Lincoln putin the field from first to last 2,859,132 soldiers. More than that number of ‘claims’ for pensions have been al- ready filed, and over 50,000 new “claims” are coming forward every year. The padding of the pension list is one of the worst of the many forms of robbery penetrated on the people in the name of patriotism.—N, Y. World.

It a ay teracts the n in the re =. dues For Cullom, of Illinois, is in Washington fora few days, fresh from contact with the people of the State. He de- clares that two questions are fore-|" most in the minds of the voters of Illi- nois at present, and they are Cuban reciprocity and tariff revision. “The people of my State heartily indorse the President’s Cuban pol- icy,” said Senator Cullom, “and re- gret that Congress did not act upon his recommendation at the last ses- sion. When he yous to Illinois next fall and appeals to them in behalf of Cuba, [ believe he will get a rousing response. Then we ought to geta straight reciprocity bill through at the next session, as a strict party measure. “But the people of Illinois are also talking a great deal about another important question, and that is tariff revision. —t-see-the Republican State Convention of lowa has spoken out plainly on this subject, and I believe], that expression voices the sentiment of the Repuclicun masses throughout the West. I know it is the way the Republicans of my State feel, and I am convinced that the sooner we take this matter up and dispose of it the better it will be for the country and the party,” Plans For Carnegie Gift. Washington, July 31.—The trust- ees of the proposed national univer- sity are looking forward with pleas- ure to receiving to-morrow the first installment of interest, amounting to $250,000, on Andrew Carnegie’s en- dowment consisting of $10,000,000, of United States Steel Corporation bonds. Though no definite plans have as yet been announced it is probable that the money will be ap- plied to the construction of an ad- ministration building and labora- tory. These are the first buildings to be erected and will be added to as needed. Boy Repulsed Three Robbers.

Sound Sense, This talk of some papers to the ef- fect that politics should be eliminated from judicial conventions is worse than meaningless, says the Nevada Mail. From what judicial convention should politics be eliminated? The Democrats hold one and the Republicans hold another! If there is to be no politics why hold two conventions? Any man who accepts party sup- port obligates himself—if he is honest —to extend party aid. If he does not, he ia not worthy of party sup- port, no matter for what position he stands. This, of course, isan honest, manly way. The fact is, that our state tickets should be nominated all together in one convention. There is no reason for two state conventions by one party to nominate a state ticket, un- less they are to be voted for on sepa- rate ballots. It is loss of time and expense for nothing to continue the present rule. The Republican judicial convention everything Republican— from the national platform to Presi- dent Roosevelt. The Democrats indorsed the Kan- sas City platform No matter who presented the resolution, it passed by a large majority; and the large ma- jority evidently knew what it was do- ing when it voted for the resolution. There is politics in everything ‘that depends upon politics und political parties for success, and this applies as much to the election of judges as it does to constables or two council- men. The man who gets in through politics and then concludes that it was only his own greatness that brought him recognition, soon finds himself in the morgue for political corpses. indorsed Piles are not only in, and of them- selves very painful and annoying, but often greatly aggravate and ev- en cause other er and puinful af- fects, and should, therefore, not be neglected.

Flat River, Mo., July 30.—Miss Hattie Armstrong, a pretty 1 old girl of Bonne Terre, died last evening while out driving with her sweetheart. About 8 o’clock sheand her friend Maud Crump, with their sweethearts, John Wilkinson and Lee Campbell, left Bonne Tree for a drive through Flat River. When the pass- ed through Desloge, one of the boys got out and went into a drug store, He remained several minutes and re- turned with chewing gum and candy, Asthey drove to Flat River, thegirls ate the candy. . After driving past the Klondike saloon in Flat River, the boys got ont and went in. The buggy was then turned around and they started home. Miss Armstrong complained ofa headache. Campbell laughingly remarked that she had appendicitis. She laughed and fell back in the seat dead. Medical assistance was summoned at once, but no avail ° A small bottle and a handkerchief we found near the buggy. Miss Crump says ft was a bottle of camphor with which they tried to revive the dead girl. At the Coroner’s inquest Doctor Donnel stated that he could not tell the cause of her death, Miss Armstrong’s relatives say de had recently been complaining of heart trouble. The Coroner’s jury reported that the girl had come to her death from causes unknown to them, No one who saw the body was sum- moned as a witness and no post-mor- tem examination was made. Slug and Rob a Bridegroom. Nevada, Mo., July 30.—Michael MeMillen, of Tacoma, Wash.. arrived here yesterday and secured a license to. marry Miss Norma Turner, of Milan; this county. From some cause the trunk containing MeMil- lan’s wedding suit failed to arrive and he came here in search of it. He secured a livery rig at 10 o'clock last night and started back, expecting to be married at midnight. Relatives and friends were present to witness the ceremony. As he failed to arrive, a party start- ed in search of McMillan and found him lying unconscious under the bug- gy with a fractured skull. About $100 in cash, a draft for $500, his gold watch and a revolver were miss- ing. Sheriff Harkreader and depu- ties with bloodhounds are hunting the perpetrators. McMillan is un- conscious and there is little hope of his recovery. Killed His Sleeping Wife.
