Dumke to do repairing. He had not
been missed as it was understood he had
gone to Milwaukee on the German Cath
Ole EXCURSION on Sunday, he having ex-
pressed purpose to do 80. His ticket
was good to return until Wednesday.
He was 73 years old, but a vigorous
man for his years. For many years he
WAS ianitor of Turner Hall. He bad seen
military service IN Europe. 1t could not
be determined from the appearance OF
the body how long it had been in the wa
ter.
An inquest was held before Justice

Topic had been in Lange's saloon Sun
day night. and this was the last seen OF
him alive. There was no water in his
lungs His throat was dotted with
blood and blood had issued from his nose
thus indicating that his death did not
| result from drowning. There we're nc
| signs OF foul play and 80 the matter il
wrapped up In considerable mystery.

"A
Brief History
of
Spectacles.

Spectdcles were invented in
the year 1900 by a Dominican
Monk. Long before this time,
however, lenses made of Seryl
in he form of a large reading
glass, which was held in the
hand, was employed for the re-
lief of eyesieht Rudyard Kip
ling discovered just such a lens
in the ruins of Ninevah, and it
is supposed that such lenses
were used in the seventh cen
tury. The Chinese and Kore-
ans employed lenses for the re
lief of eye defects before com
merce was opened up between
them and the Europeans. The
lenses then in vogue were large
and round and set in heavy iron
frames, just after the manner
current at this day. but they
had the most crude and uncouth
appearance imaginable. At
Piso, in the Campo Santo, there
are representations of men and
women wearing glasses.
Roger Bacon, while professor
in Oxford Univerity, made and
employed glasses; and because
it was thought that he presum-
ed to improve upon the divine
