Scientific OptIcian.

Readers of The Sun will notice two
very modest locals among the chips
this week, advertising optical work,
by George S. Adams. Having thor
oughly tested Mr.. Adams ability in
that line we want to recommend him
to any one in need of his services as
n who thoroughly understands his
work. Weak or defective eyes are
the source of a large train of diseases
and men and women suffer untold
misery and have no idea of the cause.
If any of the readers of The Sun have
defective eyesight-and half of man
kind have defective, eyes-we would
recommend them to 20 to Mr.. Adams
and have their eyes examined. Many
people are wearing GLASSES that %injure
their eyes, gradually making them
selves blind. Remember that YOU
have only one pair of eyes and when
you wear them out you will not be
able to get another pair. 1t therefore
stands you in hand to treat the pair
you have with the greatest kindness
and care. That Mr.. Adams is per
fectly competent to do this work we
can testify in the strongest manner
and this recommendation is given
g%ratuitously and with "A desire to ben
eft all persons who may need his
services,

As it Looks in Wyoming.

A careful reading Of the newspapers
of the state would indicate that the re-
publican campaign is progressing in a
highly satisfactory manner. The changes

events in all the counties OF the state.
Most men ard women Of Wyoming arr

they will not take the risk of assisting
in changing the policies of the country
at this time; they are content to let
well enough alone. 1t looks now AS il
every county in the etate will give Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt aud Congress,
man Mondell a majority, and in addition
the Legislature will be republican. This
latter is OF the highest Importance moi

In Justice Court.

Matters have been extremely dull
in Judge Blood's office this week and
the Judge has a PARKWAY look in his
eyes and has hardly enough energy
left to scrap with The Sun repretenta-
tive over the manner in which Ii
Hung Changes name should be pro-
nounced.
They are telling a rather good one
on the Judge now and, as he has
promised to lick Is if we print it, we
take pleasure in giving it to the pub.
lie. The Judge is called upon, now
and then, to marry couples who as
pire to matrimony. Such a couple
presented themselves before his Honor
recently and asked to be tied. The
Judge has a ceremony all written out
and pasted in a book which he uses
on such occasions. So he put on his
spectacles and hunted around until
he found it, when he looked over
his glasses and said very sternly: "Pris-
oner, stand up" He tried G
bride the prisoner not to give it
away, but it was too good to keep.
The trial of the attachment case OF

Registration bids fair to be remark
ably full in this precinct, so names
having been registered the first day
the board sat. 1t is anticipated that
at least $50 names will be placed on
the list by Saturday night. 1t is not
generally known, however, that no
person residing in the district, who
fails or neglects to register, cannot
vote when election day comes around.
For that reason every voter should be
careful to register his or her name be-
tween this and Saturday night. The
board will sit again for two days, on
the 25th and 10Th, to add the names
of those that We're not able to get in
at the first sitting, and to strike from
the list all names that are not entitled
to be registered.

Telephone Connection.

The Bell Telephone Company is
now constructing a line from Battle
Lake to the Ferris Haggerty mine
which takes in the Rambler EN- route.
The Company are showing a great
deal of enterprise in this matter and

the people of Osceola to know that
in "A very short time they will be able
to say ''hello" to the outside world.

He brought up Mr.. Dockery's statement at

was 80 cents, Iowa rs cents and Arkansas "a

which lie proclaimed as false as Missouri
does not levy the lowest tax rate lie
showed the danger allowed in transferring the
sinking fund to the general revenue fund, as
the constitution placed 40 limit upon the tax
levy imposed for the sinking fund. He showed
that the tax had been reduced by the cons,i-
tuition adopted by convention composed OF
both Democrats aud Republicans.
lie then returned to Mr. Dockery's state.
ment as to the Illinois levy aud read a per.
sonal lette. from the auditor Of Illinois. who
stated that Illinois levied tax upon one fifth
OF the aggregate value, which made tax levy

10 cents aud in Iowa only IN cents.
As to the school fund. he arraigncd the
Democratic party for converting it from state
and government bonds in which the constitu

declared such action a usurpaton of power
not allowed them. 4 second violation of the
constitution he made plain in the issuance Of
these state certificates of Indebtedness now
called the school fund. power which the
constitution does not accord the legislature.
Passing to the state debt, he read the Dem.
ocratic platform proclaiming the SAME to be
$2,6s7 900. and the also constitution, which
does AWAY with the sinking fund tax levy when
this debt shall have been paid. The speaker

The speaker first took up the record Of the
state Democracy upon franchise taxation and
read a statement Of Governor Stephens show.
ing that such tax would raise $500. 900 IN
taxes from corporations not paying tax and
lift this much Of burden from the farmers of
Missouri, whose hopes and holdings are being
crushed by this injustice, and dcmons,rat.
cd that this statement could not have arisen
from any personal ambition Of the governor,
being his opinion as a member Of the Board
of Equalization whose official position should
have afforded him this knowledge of the facts
in the case.
The speaker attributed the support received
by him in his own candidacy for governor to the
belief of the people in such taxation, il being
the issue upon which he had made his cam.
paign. lie arraigned the Democratic Board
OF Equalization for having put upon the farm.

equalize taxation during 20 years of unbroken
rule. cxempting certain classes from taxation

severest manner OF oppression
This was not Democracy and the speaker
had no hestancey in repudiating such neglect
of duty. He then read passage from the
Democratic platform pledging the party to
carry out its good record Of the past, which
means but continuation of this unjust taxa

ARMISTICE WAS OFFERED.
Roberts Suggested That Beers
Surrender Without Dishonor,
But PropoSaI Is Refused.

Lord Roberts, according to Boer
dispatch received in London Monday
from Machadodorp, sent Q message to
Commandant General Louis Botha on
Juue 18th suggesting disarmament
and complimenting the bravery OF the
burghers. It was pointed out that
the surrender would be without dis
honor to the burghers and would pre-
vent much suffering. General Botha
asked for q six days armirtice In order
to confer and consider. Lord Roberts
consented to i've days. Finally Cen
eral Botha declined TO accept the pro-
posal and hostiIities were renewed.
The BOer commandos are retiring
on Hiddleburg, followed by the Brit
ish cavalry and artillery, occasional
shells reaching the rear guards. The
Beers are destroying the bridges and
burning the veldt behind them, carry
ing of provisions and cattle and leay-
ing the country barren.
Other advices from Machsdodorp
say that the Beers have an abundance
Of arms aud ammunition with dyna-
mite and oxen, aud that they are
preparing heavy wagon trains for re-
treat TO the Lydenburg district, where
the chiefs, notwithstanding rumors to

claring the Free State still free and in

BLAZE In TENEMENT
Cause Ten People to Die Tragic
Death In New York.
COOPED UP In TALL BUILDING
Number OF the InmHtes-Victims
We're Mostly Children.

Ten lives were lost and several peo-
pie were badly injured during . FIRE
which almost totally destroyed the
old Ave story tenement, "a Jackson
street, in New York, at s o'clock Fri
day morning. The following is list
of the dead:
Louis Marion. 40 years old; Albert
Marion, Il; Jessie Marion, q; Emms
Marion, 8; William Cotter, Emma
CottsE, his wife, Mamie Cotter, Ii;
jacob COtter, IL; Kate Cotter. ID;
John Cotter, 3. The injured: Mary
Marion, II; Frank Marion, IL; Mar
garet Marion 9; George Cotter, 4
months; Patrick Burns, %.
The FIRE appears to have started in
the rear of the hallway on the second
floor. II had gained great Roadway
before the people in the house were
awakened by their peril.
Patrick Burns appears TO have been
the first person in the house who was
appraised Of the fire. He was awakened
by smoke and gave the alarm to the
others In Miss Mary Jordsn's apart
ments, where he boarded. All escaped
except Burns, who was severely injured
by flames.
Policeman Knowles, after assisting
. family to escape from the third floor
of the building, mounted one fight
higher. Flames shot out OF the win
dows and set fire to his coat. He look
cd into the windows of the Cotter
apartments but could see no signs OF
life there. The brave policeman, half
sufooated by the smoke, continued to
climb the fire escape until he reached
the top floor. He heard screams com.
ing from the Mulhearn apartments and
locating them assisted the dazed peo-
pie down the fire escape,
Louis Marcus was killed by jump
ing from a window. When the iremen
reached the apartments Of the family
three Of the family were dead on the
floor and the others unconscious.
In the Cotter room were found Mrs.
COtteF, while few feet away lay the
body 81 Mr.. Cotter, with dead child
under him. In other parts Of the room
were found the remaining members OF
the family. Only two Of them-Msmie
and George, the latter four months old
were alive. When Knowles reached
the Marcus apartments flames and
smoke burst into his face. In the
midst Of it all. with night gowns abIsze
and their hair burning, four Of the
children were rushing about the room
shrieking in terrible agony.
Mrs. Marcus huddled near the win
dow. With her bare arms wrapped
about her baby she was gasping for
air.
Three rushes were made into the
flames by the terrified women and Mar
gary, Frank and Mamie were brought
to Knowles after he had taken the
baby. The blisters and scars were
swelling on his hands and arms, but
he conquered his agony aud finished
his work on the floor by finally carry
ing the fainting form of the courageous
mother down the IRE escape. A few
moments afterwards the woman died.
She had literally sacrificed herself for
her babies.
Mamie Cotter died as soon as she
arrived at the hospital.
The monetary loss caused by the
IRE was Insignificant, being estimated
at from $500 to 500.
