A Wonderful Operation.

Mr.. Robert III. Ashley, of Decatur,
Nebraska, and proprietor of the Decatur
aouse at that place, was in this city yes
tprday and is one of the happiest men in
the whole state and we'll he may be, for,
as once he was blind now he can see.
Over two years ago a cataract formed
over Mr.. Ashley's eyes and for that length
OF time he was unable to see anything at
all. One month ago Wednesday last,
DR.. Grady, of this city, went to Decatur
performed an operation upon MI. Ash
ley's right eye. The knife was used 80
successfully that Mr.. Ashley is now able
see as well as ever.
For several weeks he was kept in a
dark room, and when he came out into
the light he was unable to distinguish
objects plainly. He came to this city,
where DR.. Grady had caused a pair of
glasses to be fitted up for him. When
Mr.. Ashley adjusted the glasses he fairly
danced for JOY, as he said he could see
Just as plainly as he aver could.
This is explained by the fact that in

GAMING FOR A LIVING.
A Talk with q Professional on this
Subject-Gamblers' D~elusiuns-
"reminiscences ofthe Missis-
sippi River.

There was something extremely En-.
glish about the gentlemen's appearance.
1t was not his trousers, with their dainty
check pattern not his silk hat, nodded
in fashions latest bulge; nor yet the
patent. leather "tooth. picks" which
graced his little feet. Perhaps it was the
degage air with which he leaned over the
rail in front of the bar, and said in sw eet-
ly-modulated tones to the individual
with the diamond-pin who stood behind
it "Another of the same, dear boy"
There was something that bespoke re-
fnement and culture in the very way he
ordered his mint julep. "You don't
mind joining me e. he said, addressing
the reporter.
The reporter did not mind; on the con-
trary, he acquiesced gracefully, and
blithely entered into conversation.
Horses. the theatres, and the price of
stocks became SUCCESSFULLY the topics of
conyersation. The reporter regretted the
fall in c., c., @. and l., as he was long of
that stock, very long indeed, in fact,
since he had had any. And what was to
be thought of the failure of Grant, Ward
~ Co., in New York, n the Marine
bank2"
"Those. %fellers" said the gentleman
with the patent-leather boots, reminds
me very much of some men [ knew out in
Leadville, who invented an original sys-
tenn OF busting o-banks. The system
was a beautiful one TO Look at, and was
deliberately calculated by algebraic
equations. The only thing II
requised was lot of capital,
and they put together every cent they
had and tackled the biggest faro. banks
in Leadyille-it was in the winter of 1880.
They wanted to get me into the spec
and were worry much offended when they
had exhibited their system to me, and
had offered me the opportunity of making
my everlasting fortune, that l didn't care
to 60 into the thing. No. l said, Il
don't see any hole in it, but there is
always a hole in these ''systems," some
where, and | guess you may count me
out SO they put up their little pile
and went for the bank. In three days
they were cleaned out-hadn't a red cent
but they held on 10 their faith in their
'system.' In their capital had held
out, they said, they would have broken
, the bank eventually. The fact is, no
system of gambling was ever invented,
nor ever will be, that is sure to win, and
the percentage in favor of a faro-bank

removing the cataract the sense of the
eye was also removed, and it required
the sense Of the eye.glass to perfect the
sight.
Mr.. Ashlcy's wife accompanied him to
this city and was fully as rejoiced % her
husband at his good fortune. They have
both returned home, as Mr.. Ashley was
very anxious to get back and see his
daughter, who he has not seen for two
years pas.
With all his good fortune, Mr.. Ashley
is doomed to more trouble and torture,
as, sad to say, a cataract can plrinly be
seen forming over his left eye and ere
long will require the use of the surgeons
knife.

By all means avoid swapping on tick
cts next Monday. Every man has a
perfect right to vote for whom he
pleases, but he is not honorable if be
makes his vote conditional that some
body else should vote for man that is
not on his own ticket. Ills exchange
Of courtesies comes near reaching moral
turpltude. If any man on the Demo
cratic ticket is offensive to the voter,
then erase his name, but in all con
science do not vote for his antagonist.
Do not bite your nose off to spite your
face; In other words, do not cast aside
q principle to crafty malice. This idea
of exchange of votes arises from over
zeal or revenge. Neither spirit is
right In this connection it is only
proper that attention should be given

correspondent of Calapooia items IN
last issue has really offended against
our general confidence Thinking lit
tie news matters from precincts where
there are no immediate organs, might
prove of interest to their neighbors, we
have given license to their communica-
tions. In the last from Calapooia we
must realize the fact we were too in
dulgent. We are still unable to give
his name, but are exactly advised that
the mention of the name of Lilly Star
as being married to John Shook was
moi only false but in fact malicious.
The reference to George Stephens ~as
also untrue. Hereafter we want the
name of author and invite truthful cor
respondence. If we knew the author
referred to he would receive, most
freely, graciously and gratuitOusly, q
puff at our hands.

Politics very quiet. Hon. w. F..
Owens spoke here last week, and, if we
mistake not will receive large major

The people of Wilbur know their int er-
est too well to vote, against a well quail
| flied man, for men who cannot express
an opinion on any great question and
who would be nuility in the senate.
Hon James Chenoweth is too well
known here to need any mention OH
our part. The misrepresentation of
his enemies has gained him votes, as
falsehood never behefts any but those
against whom it Is directed.
W. n. Moore for county treasurer is
the general favorite. Having faith
fully performed the duties of the office
and given satisfaction, the people are
not willing to vote against him Sol one
