Professor Munyon's representative was
seen at the hotel last evening, and, in the
course of conversation, remarked: The
weather has been severe during the past
two days and thousands of people in this
city are Frustrated with colds.
Many of them, no doubt, will think
"only a cold!' Truly, little thing to
make fuss about. But did you ever stop
to consider that cold is the beginning of
most diseases? 1t is the starting point of
pneumonia, rheumatism, neuralgia, ca
tarrh, kidney troubles and numerous
other diseases. Speak of cold and you
should finish thus:
Colds, catarrh, coughs, bronchitis, pneu-
monia and consumption, many long
periods of sickness could be prevented by
prompt attention to a cold. Munyon' S
Cold Cure is within reach of all; costs but
25 cents, and is guaranteed to break up any
form of a cold in a few hours, and will
positively prevent pneumonia. A cough, b,
continued the professors representative,
is a wise design of the Creator to warn us
back from the grave. 1t shows you that
and that bronchitis is beginning. From
bronchitis to consumption is but step.
We do not pretend that we can effect a
cure where there are tubercles on the lungs,
or where the patient is in the last stages OF
consumption but do emphaticaliy say that
Munyon's Cough Cure will reduce infam-
nation OF the air tubes and check at once
diseases of the lungs. acting marvelously
as soothing and healing balm upon the
parts affected.
1t is positive cure for every form oi
cough where the lungs are not covered by
tubercles.

BLINDED BY MOLTEN IRON
The Startling Result of a Stu
dents Course at the Poly
techniC School.
Frank Wyckoff's MIsfortune-He
Goes East To-MorroW to Con-
suit Specialists.

One OF the strangest cases of injury to
the eyesight that has ever been brought to
the attention of the specialists of San
Francisco has been puzzling them for some
time past. The sufferer is Frank Wyckoff,
student at the State University, who
resides with his parents at Berkeley. For
over year past the young man has been
troubled with defecti We vision, being
unable to focus his eyes upon objects, ex-
cept at certain distance.
The most prominent opticians in San
Francisco have been consulted, but so far
they have been unable to afford the student
any relief. Mr.. Wyckoff has concluded to
seek the advice of the most eminent spe-
cialists in America. He leaves for New
York tomorrow, where he will place him
self under the care OF the most distin-
guished opticians of that city.
The local experts have agreed that
Wycko off is afflicted with what is known as
water on the eye, but just as to what
caused the collection they are not posi-
lively decided. Water on the eye is of it.
self rare and unusual trouble. 1t has
manifested itself in Wyckoff's case in the
formation OF two tiny PARTICLES of water or
the organs that bring objects into Their
right focus. So delicate is the mechanism
of the eye that the weight of the two
globules of water is sufficient to retard the
| free action of the organs. Except at a Ger
! tain distance everything is blurred and in
distinct. Print can only be read at fixed
| distance from the eye. Persons at few
feet distant arc readily recognized, but be
yond certain limit they are undlstin
| guishable.
AS to the nature and cause of the &C
emulation of the two drops, the opticiau!
advance a surprising theory. Some two
years ago Mr.. Wyckoff attended the Cogs
well Polytechnic School of this City
and took course in the mechanical de
partment. The course includes instruc
ton at the forge, and it was in bending
over the hot iron that the trouble i:
thought to have originated. The optician,
assert that the intensity of the blindine
glare, combined with the peculiar hea
that molten iron gives out, conduces Il
draw moisture to the eyes. This exposure
of the eyes, if allowed to continue, viii
result in the moisture being permanently
lodged on them. The dazzling heat from
| the iron causes the eyes to alternately con
tract and expand, and it is on the organ
that has the power of this action that tn,
| drops of water gather.
Mr.. Wyckoff states that he remember
being troubled with burning sensation
about the eyes while attending the Poly
technic School. He has obtained leav.
of absence from the faculty of the univer
s1ty for an indefinite period. Wyckoff ha:
also been selected as a delegate to thu
| grand conclave of the Delta Epsilor
Fraternity, which meets next week at th
De Pauw University in Illinois. The orde
is one of the three largest ones in tn,
United States and, as a member of th
Alpha Omega chapter, recently organized
in the university, he will be the first on
to represent the institution in the Nationa
councils.

said branch associations.
The only important change in the by
laws is as follows:
Any county organization delinquent at the
time of the annual meeting on account OF any
assessments levied prior to ninety days pre-
ceding such date shall only be entitled to rep
resentation for members in good standing.
At this point the noon recess was taken,
and when the convention resumed its
session, about 80 P. NJ, Chairman A. II.
Ricketts, of the committee on protection OF
mineral lands presented his report, which
was duly adopted. Its most important
features follow:
The first step taken by your committee in
pursuance of its appointment and the author
ity vested in it by this association was an at
tempt to prevail upon Congress TO pass an act
containing provisions essentially similar TO
the bill then pending before it regarding the
examination and classification OF the mineral
lands living within the limits of the grant TO
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in the
States of Idaho and Montana. This bill was
introduced in the House OF Representatives by
Congressman Caminetti. 1t being found i'm

finally determined before the close thereof to

now known as the Idaho-MontaEa act making

also failed of passage.

THE LUX WILL CONTEST.
Executors Bishop and Lewis
Again in Charge of the
Estate.
They Had Filed an Inventory in
July, Though the Heirs Did
Not Know 1t.

Executors Thomas B. Bishop and AFRO
N. Lewis are again in control of the big
estate of Mrs. Miranda w. Lux.
On Monday they were temporarily sus-
pended pending hearing on allegations
made by Edwin G. Rodolph, a legatee
under the will, and were ordered to show
cause on November why they should not
be permanently removed.
Yesterday, though, it was shown that
the facts in the case had been incorrectly
stated to the court. Judge Coffey there
upon revoked the order of suspension,
though the citation to appear on Novem Der
8 Tor hearing still stands.
Mr.. Rodolph, in his petition to the court,
said: more than one year has elapsed
since the appointment of said Thomas B.
BISHOP and AFRO n. Lewis as executors of
salo will; said executors have wholly neg
lected and refused to make and return a
true or any inventory and appraisement Of
SAID estate to this honorable court, and said
Thomas B. Bishop and AFRO N. Lewis have
long neglected and refused to perform their
autles as such executors" and on that dec
Iaratlon he asked for the removal of the
executors.
Judge Coffey ordered temporary sus-
pension as already stated, but yesterday
the attorneys for the executors showed
tnat the inventory and appraisement had

allty the document had not been registered
and so the heirs did not become aware

approached discord in the convention,

strain in the speech of the gentleman who

What was the most eloquent speech
made on the floor of the convention fol-
lowed. 1t was delivered by w. r. Thomas
of Nevada in seconding the nomination of
Sonntag and did much to dispel the
shadow that had fallen on the general
harmony. He made reference to the
bitter fight that had taken place in the
the hydraulickers and the valley farmers,
describing modestly the prominent part
he had taken in securing a victory for the
| miners, and alleging that it was largely
due to this victory that the miners and
farmers were eventually brought together,
to thenceforth work in harmony. He then
alluded to the sterling qualities of his
candidate, saying:
