DR.. Geo. T. Stevens OF New York
City, the great Oculist and authority
on Nervous Diseases, says: "The diff
ficulties attending the accommodation
and adjustment in defective eyes and
unbalanced ocular muscles and the con-
sequent irritation of the nerves in
volved are the most prolific causes of
nervous affections. In twenty-six-hun-
dred aud ninty-two cases OF Cephalgia

five per cent. were entirely cured and
fifteen per cent. relieved by correcting
the refractivc and muscular errors of
the eyes. The great success Of Bed

ed by the large number Of testimonials
on file at his Office. Many Of the best
ones, by request, will never be pub

A GOOD IDEA FOR MOTHERS.

a writer in Harper's BaZar tells Of II
mother who, upon her daughters mar
riage, gave her letter TO take away
with her, telling her not to read it till
she and her young husband could do
SO together, and unless she chose to do
SO she need never refer to it again
But the daughter did refer to it; she
told her mother afterward how she en-
joyed reading it and how much good it
did her. The fact is that such letter
would be of inestlmable value to any
girl at such time. Such letter as a
mother would write, read when at a
diStance from the old home, it may be,
u hon,o qlheart hegigs 70 sink igst the
les.~@'littie bit in homesickness even
though the dearest one in all the world
be there with her. The young folks
would be just in the right mood to re-
ceive such timely warning and advice
as might be then impaired and many
of the shoals upon which the conjugal
ship sometimes strikes be avoided.
Such a letter should contain caution
to each against expecting the other to
be angelic in disposition or to be al
ways exactly as they were before mar
riage. A warning should also be in
cluded against taking third party
into their confidence, no matter whom
it may be. Also they should be eau
toned against Withholding confidence
from each other, especially when any
thing unpleasant occurs, when either
one feels offended at something which
the other has said or done. The "Oh
nothing" when asked the cause OF
tears or the averted glance, has wrought
sorrow to many Il young wife, when
candid confession and "a good talk over
the matter might, and probably would
have set everything right again. A
woman rarely gains anything by tears,
yet it is almost universally her resort
when feeling of injury overtakes her.
Men dislike to see woman in tears,
and while some of them are at once
smitten with remorse at the sight,
others are made angry thereby.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Nov. Is, 1896

In Evart, one of the applications for
the postoiiice, pending the next admin
istration, is Geo. w. Minchin, the vet
eran editor OF the Review; who prob
ably did more in the recent political
campaign than any other man in his
village. We hope he will be successful
in his effort, for the postofiice. In this
connection, we wish to state a fact that
perhaps will open the eyes of Evart
people, and the people Of other towns
as we'll. Not any institution in any
village is OF more Importance than it's
local newspaper; and not any person
has a harder job on his hands than the
publisher of that paper. What better
could the inhabitants OF such village
do than to give their editor lift OF
that kind? IL would give the journal
ist new encouragement and help TO
sustain first class paper in the town.
-Osceola Outline. Here's hoping
Bro. Minchin will get the job.

Kansas Liquor system.
FORT ScoTT, Kan, Nov. l2.-In the
federal court yesterday Judge Eos.
ter fined A. Rieper, s. Klein and L
Klein, wholesale liquor dealers OF Kan.
sas City, for retailing in Kansas with.
out license, and decided a law point
which will compel all wholesale liquor
men doing business in Kansas to adopt
different method Of evading the
Kansas prohibitory law from the one
they have been practicing since 1893
1t has been the custom to send liquor
in jugs to express offices in the differ.
ent Kansas towns, and at the same
time draw draft for the price of a jug
of liquor on themselves or some fcti-
tious name through one OF the town
banks Each juy would be numbered
and each draft would have corre-
spending mum er, and also an order
on The express company attached.
The purchaser of the liquor
would take up the draft, to.
gether with his number and order
on the express company and thus Sc
cure the liquor The federal authori-
ties sought to make the defendants
have retailers license in every town.
They refused and were arrested on
four counts each. The court held that
they were practically retailing in each
town. They will abandon that plan
Of supplying the Kansas trade.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. l2.-The
federal grand jury has indicted Frank
Hudson, Arthur s. Kimberly and vii.
liam ]. McCurry, Of the Hudson.Kim.
berly Printing Co., for an unusual
offense. Last September representa-
tives OF the printing company dis
tributed advertising cards on which
had been stamped the imprint Of a
$50 gold piece. The raised design
was then embossed In bronze The
grand jury decided that the inscription
was in the likeness and similitude, as
to design and color, Of a $40 gold piece.
This constitutes serious offense
against the federal laws regulating
counterfelting. The result of the
prosecution will be especially interest
ing to advertisers.
