Lanson Sunny, of Clunnette, who

ago, says a Kendallville letter to the
Fort Wayne Gazette, he was prostrated
with heart trouble, eventually recov-

leg, breaking the bone eight times be-
tween the knee and ankle. This left
him, after a long disablement, only
partially recovered. While hauling
logs a splinter struck him in the eye,
injuring that member quite severely.
A physician was called, who proved to
be intoxicated, and who left caustic
instead of lotion 10 be applied to the
hurt. The caustic destroyed the eye
entirely.
Still later on he was the victim of an
accident which left him badly ruptured.
and I'm 1884 his collar bone was badly
fractured, and the readjustment was
so imperfect that 1t had to be broken
three times before 1t would properly
reunite. Then, again, he attempted
to assist in raising barn, and glanc-
ing blow from an ak welded by a work
man struck him in the back, again
sending him to bed for months. Then
he was seized with sciatic rheumatism.

RESTRAINT UPON THE VETO POWER.
Why tho President Sanctions Legislation
That He Disapproves or.


General Harrison writes of the veto and
treaty making powers of the president In
The Ladies' Homo Journal "This Country
of Ours" series of articles. Ho discusses
the pocket Veto and says concerning tho
restraints against the exercise of the veto
power that arc imposed upon the presi-
dent: There is another practice In legis-
lation that greatly restraints tho freedom
OF the president In using tho veto power.

to saying to the president, Give your ap

carry on the government
There are other practical restraints up
on the freedom Of the president in the ex
erise of the veto power. Very many laws
contain moro than ono pRoposition-some
a number of suoh-and the president must
deal with them rs thus associated. In
each of the great appropriation bills many
hundreds Of distinct appropriations are
made. Some of these the president may
think to be wrong, either as a matter Of
policy or of constitutional power, but he
cannot single these out. He must take
the bill rs whole. 1t has been much
commended that the veto was given to on
able the president to defend himself against
legislative attempts to encroach upon his
constitutional powers or those of tho judi
oiary, and that he should exercise it only
whore he finds constitutional objections to
a bill. But the power is not SO limited,

Quite Large Amount Of Valuable In.
formation Has Been Secured.

Washington, August s.-During the
past month the work OF the Venezuelan
boundary commission has entered upon
new stage. Heretofore the efforts of
the commissioners have been mainly
directed to securing evidence upon
which the final report is to be based.
The work from now on will very largely
consist in examining and classifying
the information already collec ted.
The British government, It is TO be
presumed, has put into its two voluni-
nous blue books all the infor m q tion
upon which 1t relies in support of its
claim. The Venezuelan government
has done the same thing in its three
volumes.of transcripts from the Spanish
archives
Independently CT this, the commits
sion has been searching on its own
account. The Congressional Library.
in Washington, and many public and
private libraries in various parts OF the
country have been ransacked for his
torical and cArtographical information
The archives at The Hague have been
gone through with q thoroughness that
not even the zeal OF Great Britain or
Venezuela has heretofore attempted;
and. IS 8 result, important documents,
which the world thought lost or des-
troYed, have been unesrthed. This
work, although not yet terminated, Is
nearing completion.
For some months past Sir Clements R.
Markham, president OF the Royal Geo.
graphical Society, has been in CORES

information looked for from Rome,
from The Hague and possibly from
other places, the bulk OF the evidence
ia In, and that the question now Ia to
determine what 1T is which that evil
dence establishes.
In order to solve this problem, mum.
Der OF preliminary reports are being
prepared. Among these may be mem
TONED special reports upon the geo
graphical and physical characteristics
Of the region in dispute; reports upon
the evidence prese lted by the 800 or
more maps which have been published
since the discovery OF America; reports
upon the facts Of occupancy and settle
ment, as given by historians. and sep
Arate reports upon the same facts IS de-
veloped by the documents from the
Du,ch and Spanish archives, crisiqu es
upon the arguments Of the British Ven
ezuelan governments, as those appear in
the British blue books and in the Vene-
Zuelan brief.
These reports are being prepared for
for the most part by the com missionera
