has been a film growing over my
eyes Called by the doctors "Ptery-

ferred with my sight. DR.. Pettitt

greatly improved, and am much
pleased and entirely satisfied with
the result of the operation.

U. s. CoURT.-Judge Parker In recent
instructions TO the officers Of his court
directs that every complaint made
before a United States commissioner
shall be sent TO the district attorney
for his approval and then it shall be
presented TO Stephen Wheeler, a com.
missioner at TT. Smith, who shall
endorse date Of recording before a war
rant can be issued. Where a murder
or an aggravated assault or highway
robbery has been very recently com
mitted aud the commissioners at
Fayetteville or Muskogee thinks delay
will be dangerous, he can issue war
rant Immediately. Judge Parker s9ys
that prosecution of frivolous or techni-
cal violations must be avoided. That
there are enough serious cases to en-
gage attention Of officers and court.
| Deputy marshals must not make com
plants upon hearsay only, but after
they have talked to witnesses and in
cases Of larceny only upon information
from owner Of property or injured
purchaser. In cases OF bigamy and
efforts to have persons put under
peace bonds only the parties directly
interested will be allowed to commence
prosecution. Subpenas for 'persons
whose names are unknown" will only
be Issued in rare cases; aud then only
by order OF district attorney. Depu.
ties are forbidden TO summon wit
nesses except whore they have
subpenas and hereafter will be held
responsible for the fees of those whom
they summoned without proper sub.
penas. Judge Parker also says; "0om.
missioneis will refuse TO issue writl
whore malice 10 the apparent motive
tor proseeution," and adds: "ThC
good citizens Of the Indian country
should be- protected from malicious
prosecutions aud false charges as wei
