THE HAND CARS VICTIMS.

A great deal has been said shout the men
who were injured in the hand car accident OF
last week, they have been reported as dying
and dead and the public has been quite
anxious to know something definite and re-
liable about their condition. This desire to
learn the truth and give to this mornings
readers the facts induced pencil-pusher to
make call yesterday at the home of each of
the two men who were seriously injured.
Louis Lynch, was found living naer the
Union depot and was reclining upon cha irs,
his foot aud ankle were incased in bandages
which upon being removed disclosed very
much swollen and badly bruised limb, the
doctor claiming that small bone in the
foot or ankle is broken and that he will not
be able to bear his weight upon it for month.
Mr.. Lynch did not seem to be suffering and
spoke quite cheerfully of his condition. He
is in no danger whatever, though it will be
necessary for him to pass through more or
less pain and will necessitate his being kept
from business for some time. 1t will not be
necessary to have the broken bone set as it
is so situated that it will be held in place by
a large bone which joins it.
VIM. Prayer, the man who was run over
by the hand cart passing across his breast,
and who it WIS thought was dangerously in
jured internally, and who has been reported
as dying and dead, was found on east Doug
las avenue at his home. He was sitting up
in bed, and though his head was bandaged
and his face swollen and he had received q
very severe injury upon the body, he was
very much better than dead man, is i'm
proving nicely and is considered by his ply
stefan as being out of danger. He con-
versed pleasantly and appeared to be pleased
10 know that be was to get out of such an
accident with his life.
There were seven men on the car at the
time of the catastrophe, three of which re-
ceived injuries, the third being Thomas Nc
Nathan, the boss of the gang, who was but
slightly bruised and who is attending to his
daily duties.

For the Eagle.
so TIRED"

Would were lying in a Geld of clover.
Cool and soft, and soft and sweet,
With dusky clouds in deep skies hanging
over,
And scented silence at my head and feet.
Just for one hour to slip the hush Of
worry,
In eager haste from thoughts inmate N,
neck,
And watch its coursing in its needless
hurry,
Disdaining VISIONS call, or duty's beck,
All it were sweet, where clover clumps are
meeting
And daisies hiding, so to hide and rest:
No sound except my own hearts sturdy
beating,
Rocking itself to sleep within my breast
Just to lie there, filed with the deeper
breathing
That comes of listening to wild birds
song,
Our souls require at times this full unsheath-
All swords will rust in scahbard kept too
long.
And L am tired-so tired of rigid uty;
SO tired Of all my tired hands lind TO do,
l yearn, ! faint, for some of life's free
beauty,
Its loose beads with no straight string run
ming through,
Aye, laugh, if laugh you will, at my crude
speech,
But woman sometimes die of such n greed,
Die for the small joys held beyond their
reach.
And the assurance they have all they need.

A Wonderful Restoration.


Yesterday morning reporter of the Ga
zette succeeded in pushing his way through
the crowd of afflicted ladies and gentlemen
awaiting the remedial ministrations of Prof
Samuels, the celebrated and successful OPP
tician now quartered at the Bacon house,
and found the professor examining carefully
tie sight of Mr.. T. G. Burke, who lives on
the corner of Ninth and Seneca streets, in
this city. With highly gratifed counte-
nance Mr.. Burke assured the professor that
he 'felt all right now" and as the optician
turned to attend to the wants of another per-
son the reporter engaged Mr.. Burke to tell
his story.
81 have only one remaining eye" said
that gentleman, who is an intelligent and
well educated man, 'this right one being ar
tifcial. About four years ago very nearly
lost the sight of them, and the pupil of the
left eye, as you can see, is half destroyed.
During that time | have expended over
twelve hundred dollars in seeking relief
have been to the best oculists in Chicago
and elsewhere, but nevertheless my sight
constantly grew worse until last
spring, when | could scarcely see AT
all. In the summer it improv-
ed a very little, but lately have
been worse than ever. DIR. Purcell, of this
city, recommended Prof Samuels to me, and
day before yesterday was led in here by a
guide, being unable to find my way alone.
The professor told me frankly that he
thought had bad case, but in a short
time he fitted me with "a glass, and told
me to wear it and come back in two days
to see him again. Here | am, you see. l
found my way myself without any trouble
whatever. l can read those signs block
away and my eye is constantly growing
stronger. This morning for the first time in
two years could see with it without my
glasses, and with them | can already read
print without fatigue"
''Then you are well satisfied with Prof.
Samuels ," asked the reporter.
"More than that; l am delighted. His
charge was very low, indeed, and did not
have to wait three or four weeks to get my
glasses. Yes, sir, you may say that / am
very grateful to Prof. Samuels and am as
tonished at what he has done for me-"
Mr.. Burke is reputable man, who can be
found any day at his residence, and his
neigheors and friends will substantiate every
statement here made.-St. Joe Gazette.

THAT CORN CORNER.

Corn closed at ninety cents yesterday in
Chicago, which was the elimination of an
Internal corner that will beggar a lot OF
grain gamblers. We only wish it were pos
sible TO beggar the last one in the country
The probability corn to-day will be sold
in the same market at about fifty-sever
cents. The Santa Fe road ee..::llda not be goi
into the Chicago corn blockade scheme, but
run everything through in the shortest pos
sible time. They run lot Of corn through
from Wichita in four days. The last run
reached there yesterday morning from
Wichita. Barwise had seven car loads get il
day before yesterday and three yesterday, in
all about five thousand bushels on which hi
made about $3.50. The grain buyers OF
Wichita, by the aid Of the Santa Fe during
the late corner have made not less than ter
thousand dollars. The estimates of Bar
wise's profits reach three thousand.

A VERY SAD ACCIDENT.

A family named Slocum started this
week from four miles south of Goddard in
this county, with their team and household
effects for Pratt county, where they ex,
pected to take homestead. When en-
camped near Kingman, their Oldest, boy
of sixteen years. named Berry, attempted to
pull an AK out of the wagon. In some way
it is supposed the Ak came IN contact with
loaded shotgun lying in the wagon and
which was discharged, the entire contents Of
one of the barrels passing through Berty''
heart, killing him instantly this was night
before last Yesterday the family re
turned to Goddard with the body Of their
dead child where IT was buried. We gel
these facts from A. ID. Wheeler.

LAwRkNCE, August 10, 1883.
IL gives me pleasure to certify to the great
benefits received by my son and daughter,
aged respectively twelve and ten years, by
the use Of Prof. II. Samuels' glasses. Both
Of them had suffered from defective sight,
so that they had been compelled to abandon
school for more than year. Other emf
nent authorities had prescribed for them
without success, but Prof. Samue!s' specta-
cles gave them immediate and permanent
relief. My son is now able to do entirely
without glasses. his eyes having been re-
stored to their natural condition by the
timely and skillful application of artificial
aid. +. IL. SNOW,

A RENE. .Anle cure.

The following is taken from an interview
by the Topeka Commonwealth OF October
9th, 1888: "Whe w. Edison, Of the firm Of
Beck Il Edison, Of Topeka, was sixteen years
old be had the measles very bad. They left
him with the sight Of his right eye so seri-
ously affected that he has not been able to
see out Of that organ until about seven
months ego, when Prof. Samuels, the noted
Optician, furnished him pair Of glasses
that filled the bill completely, and enabled
him to see just - well out Of his heretofore
blind eye rs he can out Of the good one.
Mr.. Edison himself never thought that such
thing could be done, because before meet
ing Prot. Samuels he had tried all t. differ
ent kinds Of glasses made, but could not
get anything that gave him any sort Of re-
lief. Such wonderful cure as this is cer-
tainly something remarkable, for Mr.. Eison
had the use Of but one eye, and had the
other been equally affected be would not
have been able to see ut all. Doubtless
great many people who are cropping through
life in our blind asylums are affected just -
MIR. Edison was, when. did they know il.
they could easily be made to see, II Prof
Samuels could get hold Of them.
