Good morning, Deacon; yOu walk OF as
spry rs a boy, for ali you are so old. -
''Why, law bless yen, can't help it; can
see 50 well with my new spectacles Ii appears
to put new life in me. / actually feel twenty
years younger and have had them only q
short time. You see, did not buy when DIR.
Yost first came to wichita / thought would
just wait and let some others try. had paid
out so much money for spectacles, and my eyes
were getting poorer and poorer all the time,
that / had about despaired Of ever getting any
thing that would stay the dreadful loss Of sight.
But when came 10 see and talk with my neigh
bors, and with people from other parts Of the
country who had used Or. Yost's improved
lenses (some of them for years., concluded
would try it once more, and am frank to con-
fess they are far ahead of my expectations
Oh, yes, it's hard country on eyesight All
this western prairie country is much harder on
on the eyes than the eastern states, and come to
think OF 1t, 1t Is as much out OF place to try to
use the old style OF spectacles here In Kansas as
IL would be to try to farm with the old style OF
farming tools. and. sir, don't hesitate to say
that the man that wont go to DIR. f0st and be
fitted with pair of his improved lenses ought
TO have his self-5inder and improved piows
taken from him, and be compelled to cut his
grain with the old hand sickle and pillow with
the wooden mouldboard plow.''
1t is just as important TO use improved lenses
properly fitted, in order TO save eyesght, MS 1t
Is to use the self binder to save grain In this
western country.
No use talking, nothing short of DIR. iost's
improved spectacles will save the vision in this
day and age.

RECKLESS RIDING

A severe accident occurred Yesterday at
noon on Water street near the Second ward
school house. Two farmers named Tuli.
father and son, who live about four and one
half miles southeast of the city, were ped
ding potatoes from a large wagon on the
street above named. Tie younger man,
who is about 80 years OF age, was going from
house to house making sales and delivering
the potatoes when sold to the residents
along the street Just as the school bell was
ringing and the children shouting, thus
making great ..din and noise, and his Mr..
WIN. Tull was crossing the street a boy came
dashing down the road on large gray
horse: lac had but halter on the animal and
consequently had no control Of him, and
could neither stop him or direct his course,
and the resul, was that he ran directly on to
the man and gave him terrible shock. The
side of the pedestrian was presented 10 the
animal at the moment of the collision, and
Mr.. Tull was knocked down, his head strik-
leg the ground with great force. Luckily
he was not jumped upon by the horse, and
escaped without broken bones. though he
fell quite inscnsible, and remained in that
condition for some minutes after receiving
the shock.
He was picked up and carried into q
house near BY and the boy rode rapidly for
a doctor The lad is about thirteen years OF
age and son of Mr.. Appleby. He was
very badly frightened, and TO his credit it
can be said, that he did all in his power &c
| send a physician TO the aid of the injured
man ms soon as possible.
DIR. Mccullough arrived within fifteen
minutes of the time of the accident,and after
an examination pronounced the injury no
more serious than a severe shock with cut
and bruise on the head. He prescribed 9
stimulant and left the patient conscious and
| comfortable and he left for home with hi,
! team toward evening.
The moral of this incident is obvious and
needs no comment. there is a law against
fast driving and riding in the city and the
reason for its passage is in this case made
very apparent and it is TO be hoped that il
VII be strictly enforced.

ILLEGAL VOTING.

We suggest TO the Republican Central
| Committee that, if they have not already
done so, copies of the registration for each
ward should be made and then carefully com
pared and a mark put opposite the name of
every man who is not known or whose iden-
tity is uncertain. The day ought TO be past
when men from the Indian Territory and
the borders can all vote at Wichita. A.
to falsely personating another the law is very
explicit and the penalty is the penitentiary.

ined we could see in his face kind Of l.

The Judge has always been great admirer
Of brains. and no doubt locks forward with
no small degree or pleasure to the fact that
next to a decision rendered by himself he
would rather read those of that eminent po-
litical purifier like Albert ii. The canvass

blandly assures Us that he will whip the ed
itor of the EAGLE as soon as he can do SO
without taking the chances of the draw
backs of bloody nose before the canvass
closes; but we take pleasure in assuring him
that if he ever forgets that part of the pro-
rramme he will really have been gamer
upon the whole BY his race for the chief jus
ticeship. Anyhow we shall not be AT home
