SATISFIED AT LAST.

George A. Smith, of Salt Lake City,
is young man well and favorabiy
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 oonlist,
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 a
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
the result and his many friends
astonished. Mr.. Smith said it caused
him practically no pain.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-When the
four congressman who are investigat-
ing the emigration affairs of the coun-
try assembled to-day, Paul Wolf
Washington correspondent of the New
York Stats Zeitung, took the witness
stand and stated that some three
years ago he was informed that there
Swera several societies in Germany and
especially in Bavaria, formed for the
purpose OF sending discharged Grim
inals te this country. Witness laid
his Information before Assistant Score
tRrY of State Porter aud that gentle
IMAM wrote to the American consulate
st Munich on the subject, who replied
IN December, 1885, that there were no
such societies. Witness then read ex-
tracts from the reports of one OF those
societies, showing that in 1883, twenty
sever discharged oonVicts were sent to
this country by the society. The re-
port said that the worse the men are
and the larger families they have, the
better they are to send to America.
Witness said the societies are not
government affairs, but the royal
counselor Bauer, is president
and Prince Regent Luitpold is
honorary president OF one society.
In 1886 their report is more
cautiously worded, but it shows that
out of 49, 600 marks expended, nearly
haH was used to assist the emigrants TO
come to this country.
At this point Mayor Hewitt inter

were sent back to Hamburg and from
there to England, from where they |

ms remarksble success in curing what
ever be undertakes has made his name
familiar in almost every household. At
first he was to stop In Salt Lake CITY
oae month, but at the expifatio Of
that time his business was so large that
ne prolonged his stay. When the time
OF his postponement expired his bust
ness had grown to such mammoth pro-
portions that he was obliged to again
extend his stay. DR.. Prentice is sur
prise to great many people, as he tells
hls patients truth. All cases that he
thinks he can not cure he tells them so
and daily turns many away with the
assurance that their cases are hopeless,
snd Ii those cases in which he prom
ises a cure he always succeeds. So
again DR.. Prentice has extended his
stay until August 10th.

The Strikers at Andrew Car
negie's Steel Works
DISPOSED TO RESUME WORK
Despite the Rejection of the Propo-
sition-A Priest Denounces the
knights ofLabor and Says He
Can Settle the Strike.

PrTTBuRaH, April 9.-There is a strong
disposition among a large number Of the
striking employees of the Edgar Thomp-
son steel works to return to work not
withstanding the unanimous rejection
of Andrew Carnegie's proposition at the
meeting last Saturday.
Rev. Father Hickey, Of the Braddock
Roman Catholic church, in an address
lust night denounced the Knights of
Labor, and said that II a committee
would go with him to New York he
would guarantee to settle the strike in a
day. 1t is probable that his offer will be
accepted. The merchants at Braddocks
are feeling the effects of the strike very
materially, and several firms have re-
fused to give the men credit. The fol-
lowing sign was posted on the door OF
Woodside & Woodward's grocery store,
the largest in town:
"Owing to the financial embarrass-
ments OF the firm we were compelled to
make IN assignment for the benefit OF
our creditors.
"WooDsrpE & WOODWARD"
Another firm in the eastern end OF
Braddock also made an assignment.
They claim that their assignments were
caused by not being able to collect
money due them.
