The following simple method enables a
patient to see a cataract In his own eye
and note its growth and development,
probably better than any occulist can OBJ
serve it for him.
Cataract is said to be due to the gradual
deposition of oxaiate Of lime IN the sub
stance of the crystalline lens, at first in
small spots or streaks, sometimes ID one
part and sometimes in another The de-
post gradually increases uutil it penefra-
ties the whole of the lens causing blindness.
The remedy. then, is to remove the lens,
and after It's removal the patient needs a

GooDLAND, Kan, May 31.-At meeting
held at Pleasant Home school house in
Sherman county, the following resolutions
were read and adopted:
Resolved That we, the undersigned citizens of
Sherman county, Kansas, having lived in said
county since the organization of companies known
artificial rain companies the object of which is
| apparent to make money, not rain, that we firmly
believe their theory be fraud, since said COM
panies have failed to demonstrate their theory to
! be success in any degree.
Resolved Therefore, without hesitating we be-
lieve their theory to be fraud, and that 1t has
been gotten up a money-making scheme. We
desire that not only the companies, but all who
| have been led to believe the false reports since
| out from this county, may know that we have no
faith in the theory to its affecting an increase
of rainfall.
Resolved That we as citizens of Sherman
county, Kansas. request the press of Goodiand to
print these resolutions.

Our Invitation,

IL THE STAR does not contain the
usual amount of local news this week,
the readers will please remember IL Is
because we received special invitation
last week which was even read TO us by
a man selected for that especial pur-
pose. The invitation, as near as we can
remember, read thusly: "To G. A..
Stephenson, greeting: We command
you, that setting aside all business and
excuses whatever, you be and appear
in your proper person before our Judges
at BroOkville, at a county court of
Quarter Sessions of the Peace, there to
be held for the county of jefferson,
forthwith, to testify the truth and give
evidence on behalf Of the Common
wealth on an indictment against Mr..
Blank, and herein fail not under penal
ty of one hundred pounds" The invi-
tation was witness by Hon. f. Heath
Clark, president OF said court at Brook
vile, and signed by w. ID. Clarke,
clerk. We do not always accept invita-
tiOns, but because this one was worded
just as 1t was, we decided to honor the
Judge with our presence at his court
one day last week and several days this
week.
This free country until the court
wants you, then there is no alternative
but to obey the call. In some petty
cases 1t is not justice to ask man to
neglect his business and go to court for
three or four days, or longer, for the
small sum Of one dollar day and then
pay out the dollar each day for board
ing. Then again, there are instances
where people are forced into taking a
case to court who are not able to pay
even the $1.O0 per day.

A Robber Killed.

Three masked robbers gained an en-
trance into the residence OF Jacob Funk,
well-to-do farmer who lives at West
Liberty, last Wednesday at 200 A. M.
and tied the man and gagged the lady
and then demanded the old couple TO
give up their money, as the robbers
thought they had considerable in the
house. Ella Funk, daughter OF the
aged couple, who slept up stairs, heard
the noise and went TO the head of the
stairs and saw masked man standing
at the bottom, and instead of scream
ing, fainting or getting too much
excited to do anything, the brave
girl retreated to her room, climbed
out onto the porch and cautious
ly crept from one end of the porch
to the other to see II there were any
burglars on the outside watching, then
she jumped twelve feet TO the ground
and with nothing on but her night
dress, ran to neighbours house and
gave the alarm. Five men answered
the call for help and surrounded the
house. The men inside discovered the
position they were In and as quick as
they came out Of the house they began
shooting and running. The men out
side opened fire on the robbers but we're
only able to bring down one of the trio,
and his right leg was shattered above
the knee by ball from Winchester
rife. The other two escaped. Henry
C. Bowser, the man shot, was taken to
Dubois for medical treatment but he
died from the effects Of the wound at
four o'clock on the afternoon of the
shooting. The man shot was son of
Peter Bowser, respected farmer living
near Big Run. Henry C. was a bad
man; he served term in the peniten-
tiary. The men who escaped are sup
posed to be parties that are not stran-
gers in this section of the country.

New Telephone Line.

Mr.. A. A. Swab, of Rathmel, was in
town Friday and stated to the Courier
that he has the agency for new tele-
phone which he proposes to introduce
in this section at an early date, provid-
ing he can get franchize to erect
poles and string wires. The telephone
is manufactured at Columbus and the
inventor and manufacturer claim that
1t is equal to the Bell in every respect.
The cuts of the phones exhibited resem-
BILE the Bell very much. 1t is in use in
a number Of places and the testimonials
shown speak of it very highly. Mr..
Swab says it is his intention to connect
Dubois, Falls Creek, Reynoldsville and
Rathmel and that he will rent his
phones at s25 per year. He is conf
dent that he can get large number
Of subscribers at that price and will
begin work this fall and expects to have
the line in operation a few weeks there
after.-Dubois Courier.

A number of Reynoldsville people did
not retire last Friday night until after
they had seen the partial eclipse of the
moon, which was visible here about
1910. There was such dense fog that
night that it obscured the view of the
eclipse that would have otherwise been
very plain. The first contact of the
shadow was at the north limb of the
moon. The magnitude of the eclipse
was trihe less than one-half of the
moons diameter. The moon left the
earth's shadow about half hour after
midnight.

A Correction.

In our issue Of August 22nd we made

since discovered and gladly correct
concerning Ed. G. Burns work as tax
collector. Mr.. Burns did not lift the
duplicates for 1894, hence Mr.. Pentz
could not take up the work where Mr..
Burns left off. Mr.. Burns will collect
the outstanding tax of 1893, which has
been slow coming in on account Of
the hard times the past year. Mr..
Pentz has lifted the duplicates of 1894
and will collect the same.
