LIGHT FROM DARKNESS.
Marvellous Optical Surgery Gives Sigh
to a Blind Child.

Marvellous Optical Surgery Gives Sight
to Blind Child.
COLORADO SPRINGS, April 22-B9rn with
her eyelids firmly closed, yet able to ali ex-
tent TO distinguish between bright light and
total darkness, six-year-old Myrtle HIgbee
of Denver yesterday underwent marvellous
operation in optical surgery at the State
School for the Deaf and Blind here After
admin iStering an an8sthetic the surgeons
carefully dissected her eyelids, parting them
with a scalpel and foreepS until the eyeball
was Iea ched. 1t was found then that the
eye was turned very much inward. The
cOrnea was slightly Opaque and fiattened.
The eyelid was firmly adhered to the sur
face of the eyeball by fbers of connective
tissue, and these had TO be cut one at time
until the eyelid could be turned back. as
the little patient began to show signs of
heart failure from the an8sth etc it was de-
cded not to operate upon the left eye; SO
the lids of the right eye were bound back
with sutures and bandages applied.
If further adhesion can be prevented the
child has a very favorable chance of getting
much more light, probably enough so that
she will be able TO distinguish the larger OBJ
iects and can avoid running in to them. 1t
will be ten days or two weeks before the
operation on the other eye can be performed,
and it will be week or more before the
value of the last operation is fully deter
mined. but so far ii is thorough success

A Simple Request Made of Him by the
Famous Miner.
A tall, Notwithstanding man, smoking an
extra long cigar and wearing a peculiarly
shaped sealskln cap, walked neTYously back
and forth in the Grand Pacific rotunda, I'M
conscious that he was the cyDosure of all
eyes. The 10-carat diamond that sparkled
in his tie was brandshing SO many spears
of light that Sam Parker thought he must
certainly be from darkest Africa, says the
Chicago News. The wearer of that sparkler
was j. M. Daily of Denver. Colo, and a
man with history that would fill an octave
volume.

my mind, than any yet announced. Several

REST.

Written for THE MORNING CALL
In the quaint old Mission chm ch-yard
The dead in quiet sleep;
No sound an break their slumbers
At the mountains rugged feet.
The stream of life flows by them,
Unhe eding where they lie,
BY th great ST. Francis guarded
Beneath the western sky;
At rest from toll and trouble,
Past gTief and signs and tears,
Lies weary waiting over,
Its doubts, its hopes and fears.
The achi NC heart Is peaceful,
The tear-dimmed eyes are dry;
The weary brain, the tired hands
Forever resting lie.
All, welcome, death so peaceful,
So gentle thy caTess,
That death is only living
And living only death.
Thy sable piniOn's SHADOW
Blots out cruel memory's sting,
And we rest in sweet forgetting
Beneath thy shelterlng wing.

TOWN POLITICS.

Only five weeks more before town
meeting ana 1t is high time that the
people begin to think over the ques-
ton. who shall we put in to do our
bushes for us next year?'' There
will be no lack of candidates for the
various positions and there Is no lack
of good material to fill the different
offices. The only trouble Is that the
one who would make the best officer
and the one who wants the position
are not always the same person, AS
q rule, those who would make the
best officers are persons who do rot
wish to bother with 1t. They are too
conscientious to accept an office and
not attend to the duties as they
should be attended to and think that
they cannot afford to- give the time
necessary to attend to them. 1t is
for the interests Of every one concerned
that men of good business ability and
men that would look after the affairs
IN the same business like manner that
they would look after their own al
fairs, should be chosen. They should
be men who have pecuniary interest
in the prosperity of tho town; not
only men whose entire interests are
here, but men who have sufficient in
terests.to be effected to the same extent
as other tax payers. Although men
OF this class as a general rule do not
like to be bothered with town affairs
they should sink their personal prefer
ences and should consider 1t duty
not to be shirked. We all believe that
our town is just en- tering On q career
OF prosperity, then let us all strive
and see to it that.only good competent
men are chosen to I'LL the offices, men
that will do all that Is possible to adj
vance the interests Of the place.

REPORTED FAVORABLY.

From dispatches received Wednes-
day, we learn that the Otter Rapids
dam bin has been reported favorably
to the Assembly. This insures It's
passage in that body and we believe
the worst Of the fight is over. twill
go to the Senate with the prestige Of
| a favorable report from the Assembly
| and of having passed that body which
will help it immensely when it comes
to be taken up by the other house.
The opposition that has been encoun-
tered SO far has come mainly from
Rhinelander. They sent down n re-
monstrance against the bill signed by
every mill owner in Rhinelander.
Among other things, they claimed
that the dam would back the water
up the Wisconsin for eleven miles.
Careful surveys, made by competent
engineers, were laid before the COM
mittee, showing that the f1owage
would only extend back between
three and four miles and by the pro-
| visions of the bill the boom company
here would have to take the logs
through this flowage for nothing.
Another provision of the hill, which
Is in the interests of the down river
lumbermen who own timber above,
Is that the owners of the dam arenot
allowed to charge for the use OF the
water for flooding. Now when they
want flood to get over the rapids
they have to buy the water OF the
owners of the dam in the Eagle river.
Instead OF being an injury to lumber
men below who have to drive their
logs down the river, it will be a bene-
fit The reason that the Rhinelander
mill owners oppose the dam Is this:
Quite n number of them do not own
any timber and have to look for their
logs to lumbermen above who donot
own mills and either sell their logs Or
get them s&wed On contract. If the
dam goes IN, these men could and
probably would get their timber
sawed here and save the cost Of driv-
ing to Rhinelander. Opposition based
on such grounds rs these have very
little force before body Of impartial
men. The only arguments that they
can urge against the bill are the same
ones that were used by the lumber
men still further down the river
against the act which authorized the
building Of the dam at Rhinelander
and should have no more effect now
than they Gid ther and we think that
the members OF the legislature will:
not fail to see the inconsistency be-
tween the position they held then and
the one they now assume and will de-
eide accordingly.
