SUCCESSFULLY TREATED.
Judge Cartons Letter.

SALT LAKE CITY, August 7, 1888.
Dear Doctor:-Before leaving for the
east wish to express my appreciation
OF your treatment of a complicated case
of the eyes. l have tried for several
years to get far-seeing glasses, and
mad concluded that could get none
that would be of any benefit to me. But
after saw the wonderful benefit of
your system, l take pleasure in saying
that the glasses furnished by you have
restored my vision both for. reading ar
far seeing to the same condition as in
my boyhood. | resolved to have you
furnish me glasses after l witnessed
your system to beautiful young lady
of sixteen years, from Summit County,
afflicted with a complicated condition
of the eyesight. She told me she had
never been able to distinguish ones
face at a distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as
well as any one. AS she looked up and
down the street, and for the first time
in her life saw the distant mountain
tops, she was greatly delighted, and
inquired with childish simplicity, DO
other people see this way?" 1t seemed
that new world was opened to her
view, as novel and beautiful as Eden s
rosy bowers" appeared to our first
parents.
Yours truls,
A. B. CARLTON,
Chairman Utah Commission.

mittee being absent. He was informed
that none of them would return. Both
parties had denounced trusts and the
President had declared the opposition
of the administrator to them. It
seemed that the committee on waysand
means was confessedly unable
to present to the House any
measure on the subject and he
thought it due TO the people OF the
country that the House should be
authorized to have the RICH: of way
with legislatiG of that character.
Hopkins, of New York, objected.
The committee on public lands re-
ported back the bill 10 suspend the
operation of the pre- emption, timber
culture and desert land laws. The bill
was so amended as TO strike out all ref
erence to the suspension of laws and, as
amended, it passed. 1t now simply
provides during the pending measures
now before Congress in relation 10 the
forfeiture of certain lands heretofore
granted by Congress to railroad
corporations, and thereafter no act
done by any such corporation
snail in any wise enlarge the
right or claim of such corporation to
any lands covered by any such grant or
diminish any right now existing in the
United States to declare a forfeiture.
This provision will not be construed to
in any wise effect or waive anv right
now existing on behalf of the URited
States to declare the forfeiture OF any
lands embraced in any such grant. The
House then went into committee of the
whole on the private calendar.
The committee having arisen, the
House passed number of private bills
and took recess, the evening session

der the supervision of the Secretary of
Agriculture, who shall be appointed by
the President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate. There
shall be an assistant Secretary,
of Agriculture to be appointed by the
President with the advice and consent
of the Senate, who shall perform such
duties as may be required by law or
prescribed by the Secretary. The
ceive the same salary as is
paid to the Secretary of each of the
Executive Departments and the salary
of the Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture shall be the same as now paid
to the first assistant secretary of the

A committee of conference was
ordered on the disagreeing vote and
Senators Palmer and Sabin and George
were appointed conferees on the part OF
the Senate.
The conference report on the sundry
civil appropIi atoms bill was presented
and agreed to.
Stewart inquired what became of his
amendment regarding the land and
timber frauds.
Sanderson replied that Senator Frye
yielded on that point.
Stewart then proceeded to restate
his views on the subject.
At the conclusion of Stewa It's speech,
Sherman asked Allison whether the
conference report covered all the
matters In dispute between the two
houses.
Allison replied that the question on
which the conferees had been unable
to agree was amended as to the new
library building.
Sherman insisted that there was no
sense in keeping up the controversy
between the two houses as to the library
building. The Senate could not agree to
the House proposition to break
a string of contracts and to make new
start. In his judgement the only
proper course was to drop the whole
subject for the present.
Allison made statement of the posi-
ton Of the House and Senate conferees
and expressed the opinion that the
House proposition involved the entire
suspension of work until the next Con-
gress met.
Mr.. Hale, one of the conferees, ex-
pressed the belief that some plan could
be sgreed upon that would embody the
| two fundamental ideas of each House,
that of the House being that the charge
of the work shall be taken away from
the present management and that of
the Senate being that there shall be no
unreasonable delay in the construction
of the building.
Sherma moved to instructive Senate
conferees tnat 9 :; , conferees OF the
two houses can't agree, the Senate

This motion was agreed to and the

son, Hale and Cockrell, were reap
pointed.
The Senate then adjourned till MoE-
day.

SATISFIED AT LAST.

George A. Smith, of Salt Lake City,
is q young man well and favorably
known throughout Utah. He has been
troubled with bad case of cross-eyes
all his life. Several years ago he had
an operation performed by an oculist,
but it was not successful and did no
good, consequently his faith was very
much shaken about its ever being made
straight. But at the Continental Hotel
on Monday of this week, DR.. Prentice
made it straight in less than half 6
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
the result and his many friends
estonished. Mr. Smith said it caused
him practically NO pain.

Stewart also off cred a resolution recit.
ing statements in the public press that
the presentation of bills to the Pres

that the Senate as branch of the

such delays and asks the House to re-
quile its officers to present such bills
without unnecessary delay.
1t was ordered that when the Senate
