HANGED HIS OWN FATHER.
Remarkable Scene n Gallows In the
State of Washington.

Remarkable Scene on Gallows in the
State of Washington.
1t was strange meeting of father
and son on the occasion of the hanging
OF old Bill Stebbins for the murder of
his second wife at Spokane. says the
Review of that city. The murder was
atrocious, the people said. and there
were few glances of sympathy for the
doomed man among the morbidlv
curious stares of the little crowd that
filed the Jail yard.
The sheriff's deputies had attended
to the details. The trap was set ready
10 be sprung and in an instant send a
man into the great beyond. The
moose had been made carefully of the
best hemp rope, CREASED with tallow
for that occasion. The procession had
moved up the steps to the platform.
With businesslike dignity the sheriff.
who had been notified, stepped from
his office, crossed the courtyard, and
mounted the scaffold with the death
warrant in his hand. He read the doc
ument in calm voice, as one would a
notice of a sheriff's sale.
And now, SIR" he said, turning to
the condemned man, ''you are at lib

your mind"
Throughout his trial. in the dark
hours after his sentence, though the
last night of life, and while viewing
curiously from his cell the rays of the
last sunrise he would ever see on earth.

Addressing himself to the sheriff, he

The sheriff did not hear him, or if
he did no one could have told it. He
was still the businesslike executive Of

nothing more.

the condemned man continued, show

your mother either, but word of COM
fort to man that's going to die isn't
much. Won't you say something?"
Twenty years of battling with the
world on his own hook had hardened
the sheriff's heart. Silently he mo-
toned the assistants to buckle the
straps, adjust the cap and fix the
moose.
Then with steady hand and unwav-
ering countenance he pressed the but

To Our Citizens.

There has been great deal of loss
and trouble occasioned by the reckless
destruction OF globes and hoods on arc
street lamps. Much of this has been
done Intentionally, If not maliciously.
A great deal of it has occurred to lamps
in certain vicinities. There is a heavy
penalty for such offenses, which will be
enforced to the extent of the law, if the
offenders are convicted. Citizens in
neighborhoods where these things fre.
quently happen, should make it point
to apprehend all guilty parties. If the
trouble does not cease the lamps will be
removed to localite, where they can be
protected. ELLIS PENCE,
Chairman Light Committee.

While at Ripley recently, we viewed
the wonderful lithia wells, the water
from which has such remarkable reme-
dial qualities. This water is said by
scientists who have analysed it, to even
surpass in medicinal properties the
great Buffalo Lithis, so famed for its ex.
cellence. The solvent properties are
such thatall calcareous formations are
speedily removed from the system. This
well bids fair to become great attrsc.

some, hundreds of miles to enjoy its
beneficial effects.

THE HUMAN EYE.

BY Means of Two New instruments All IT'S
Functions and Diseases Are Known.
The London Optician, in describing
the remarkable progress that has been
made Of late years in the treat
ment of eye diseases, says that with
the ophthlamoscope and ophthalmome-
ter there are very few problems with
regard to the functions and diseases of
the human eye that cannot be deter
mined by an expert in a very few mo-
ments Of time.
1t may safely be asserted that there
is no department of knowledge of the
functions and diseases of the human
body that is so advanced as that of
ophthalmology, and this has been the
work of the civilization of the nine
teenth century. With the ophthalmo-
scope the circular opening in the iris,
which we call the pupil, is made win
dow looking upon scarlet picture, in
the center of which is a beautiful
white moonlight disc, over which radi-
ate vessels pulsating with the blood
constantly pumped in by the heart.
The darker returning current in the
veins is also seen, while the varying
and almost numberless changes made
by disease are noted by the practiced
eye, and tell a tale of warning and Of
ten of woe. The entrance Of the optic
nerve In the retina, little spot one
seventeenth of an inch in diameter, is,
made to appear as a white disc.
Besides all this, the lens and the
great vitreous humor-those trans
parent structures that make up the
greater part of the interior Of the eye
are SO lighted up that any changes
in them, however minute, are magni-
fed by their own power as lenses and
clearly seen. With the instrument for
measuring the radius of the cernea,
the ophthslmometer, another variety
OF revelation Is made, which reduces
the choosing Of glasses to aid vision to
a purely scientific problem, easily and
exactly solved, and with satisfaction
in the solution that removes the whole
subject far from the humdrum and me-
chanical ideas that are often asso-
ciated with such an occupation. II
