The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things areright in my
line, and the. optical business
is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
OBJECTS well, yet are con-
SANITY troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects. is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect e near sight.
and requires the same treat
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is ourbuSineSS to supply
you with only these.

THIS LOOKS UNFAIR.
The County Attorney of Leavenworth
County Seems to Have Cabbaged
Work of Topeka Men.

John NJ. WiIkersOn and Detective ].
A Matthews OF Topeka lost a $1,000
reward and the credit of capturing the
murderers of J. T. Lamborn of Leaven-
worth county.
Ever since the murder they have
been working on the case and had ac-
cumulated enough evidence to secure
the conviction of tn son, daughter and
her lover.
1t is necessary to consult the county
attorney before any information can be
filed and a warrant issued, and Mr. VII
kerson did this last week. The county
attorney of Leavenworth county de-
manded to know what evidence he had
and Mr. Wilkerson told him a part of
that he had accumulated. The county
attorney put him off and Wilkerson
came home intending to return to
Leavenworth on Sunday. but he was
delayed and before he could get started
he heard Of the arrest of the parties
he suspected.
Mr.. Wnkerson does not know whether
or not the county attorney took advan-
tage of the information impaired, but
one thing is certain and that is that
the murderers of J. T. Lamborn would
have been brought to justice through
Topeka officials if they had not been ar
rested when they were

years old, was knocked down and run
over by a bicyclist at the corner Of
Jackson and Third streets at noon to-
day and seriously injured.
Her nose was broken and there were
several ugly bruises about her fore
head.
The fellow who ran over her fmmedi-
ately got on his bicycle and rode away
as fast as he could.
He was going north on Jackson street
with two of his fellows at break
neck speed and just as he was turn
ing the corner to ride east on Third
street the little girl stepped into the
street from behind an electric light
pole that stands in the sidewalk.
There was a collision instantly and
both the rider and the girl We're thrown
almost clear across the street
Both We're bleeding when they arose.
A labOring man who was passing ran
to their assistance. The rider got up.
brushed the dirt off his clothes. picked
up his wheel, and. saying to the man:
Take this child into that house and
take care Of her" he rode away
The little child was taken into the
brick house that stands on the south
east cOrRer and q phycfcian sent for
who dressed her wounds.
The laboring man was unable to
give much of a description OF the BIZ
cyclist further than that he appeared
well dressed and was tan and young

ofBrookIyn has returned the greater
New York bill to the governor with his
disapproval.
He says that he does not see any
thing in the condition of Brooklyn to
warrant the necessity for such a. bill;
that the bill is incomplete, inasmuch
as it does not provide for a consoli-
dated government Of the three cities
New York, Brooklyn and Long Island
City-and because it does not provide
for a referendum. A majority of the
legislature may pass the bill over the
