A RETURN OF EYEsIoHr.


A young man well known in this city was
cured by the use of glasses. About seven
months ago, H. G. Hinkle, of the Kansas
National bank, called on Prof. Samuels, the
optician, in regard to his eyes. As he was
constantly over his books HE eyes troubled
him great deal, not being able to use them
all the time. His eyes panied him nearly
every day. He explained his case to the
Professor, and he was assured that If he
would use his glasses according to his d.
rections that his eyes would grow strong
in short time, and not lose one moments
time. He has worn the glasses for three
months constantly, and now his eyes are
perfect. He hes no more use for the glasses;
once in while his eyes bother him, he puts
on his glasses for few moments and the
eyes are relieved. He would not be with
out them for ten times their cost Professor
Samaels is to be seen at his room at the
Occidental for q short time. Office hours
from g. m. to p. m.-BeacOn.

A MAD HORSE.

William Thompson who lives near Carey's
Park, observed last Sunday that one of his
horses was acting strangely and showing I'M
mistakable signs Of illness or arrangement
of some kind. The animal did not improve
and yesterday was brought to the city and
taken to the livery stable of s. g. Butler, that
he might be treated by Mr.. B. The case was
diagnosed and from the actions and conduct
of the horse, Mr.. Butler pronounced the
symptoms those of poison and added that il
be knew that the horse had ever been bitten
BY dog, he would not hesitate to call the
case one of hydrophobia. as the animal was
nervous and restless, and at the sight of
water would become almost frantic, snap
ping striking and kicking at any and every
thing that came within range, and when
drenched with beer bottle he crushed it be-
tween his rigid set teeth. Upon being ques-
toned, Mr.. Thompson stated that last March
this horse and three cows had been bitten by
dog that. belonged to him. The dog was
not suspected of being mad, but was killed
on account of his attack upon the animals.
The horse was bitten upon the nose, which
wound soon healed and the occurrance was
dismissed; but the prrsent actions of the
animal were such that he was satisfied that
the horse was mad, and Mr.. Butler in the
presence of large crowd of persons who
had been drawn to the spot from curiosity,
shot the poor sufferer whose tenacity to life
was something wonderful, it requiring four
shots in the head and the cutting Of the
throat, before life was extent. The case was
a remarkable one and it is fortunate that no
one was bitten before the nature of the
trouble was known, and it now remains to be
seen whether the cows that were bitten by
the same dog will ..develope the same symp-
toms and will have to be disposed of in the
same manner

HE WENT TO SLEEP.

A worthy citizen has been arraigned as
being traitor, and it is deemed but fair
that he should have a chance to vindicatc
himself, therefore space is hereby given him
to declare that he did not nominate himself
for coroner, but that "Benny" Aldrich was
to have put him in nomination-not that a
man Of his caliber sought such apetty office,
but to still the incessant clamor of his enthu-
siastic friends who almost drove him crazy
with their entreaties and urgent solicitations
to have him "pull off his coat and cast his
vote for himself on election day." he reluct-
antly consented. Benny" had been hand
ling chloroform at the drug store just before
he went to the convention and when the
time came for him to put Douglas in nomi-
nation he was asleep and allowed the green
hackers to steal march upon him and run
in man whom Mr.. Donnally "could defeat
with EASES" only for this accident Vim
cent is absolutely certain that he would
have been nominated by reclamation.
Since that time his friends-and they number
legion and are from the very cream of both
the leading political parties, wishing to make
amends for this deplorable catastrophe, have
Hocked around him and urged, begged and
almost cried to have him core out for the
Office of coroner on the independent
ticket, but Mr.. d. has turned his
heart to stone, and though it bleeds-
as it were, at the bare thought
of disregarding the wishes and supplications
of his friends, syet he cannot in justice to
his dignity and to the memory OF the days
when he was in the Holy Land with Boss,
Tweed in Tammany hall with John Kelly or
the custom house with President Arthur,
stoop to such an insignificant and thin
Office as that of coroner, but his ambition
scars upward and onward, and when Cleve-
land goes to the white house, Douglas Vim
cent Donnelly goes to-" His soul is in the
national struggle and not with puTyy minor
scrambles. He never thought of going over
to Blaine and Logan and "the head and
front Of his offending" is that he is for
Van Ness and Dorsey. They are Republi-
cans to be sure, but Donnelly's heart is
large enough to grasp liberal ideas and not
so cramped and shallow that he cannot vote
for personal friend though he may be on
the opposite ticket from that which he in
early life espoused and in which he has won
all of his distinction and fame.

A GOOD SCHEME.

Prof Walter c. Clark, of Chicago, a
specialist, who has made reputation for
successful class teaching Of music, is in the
city. He has made arrangements TO give a
free course of sixty drills and lessons in
singing and vocal expression, al the end OF
which time he will give an operetta or
something of that character with his trained
class. These concerts or musical dramas
are said to be highly artistic and pleasing,
for he comes backed by recommendations,
endorsements and credentials that cannot be
gsinsGid. The EAGLE will have more to say
Of this scheme in the near future, but ii will
be backed by prominent gentleman and
must prove a success.
