Philadelphia, June 1o.-The Roosevelt
boom is just now very healthy, although
the Long boom Is also hourishing more
than at any time since the convention be-
gan. But II the Roosevelt brush fire Is
to be Quenched 1t must be by strenuous
efforts of both Long and Dolliver' s
friends. But the Dolliver boom seems
to be in collapse. The delegates OF the
great State of Illinois came on with
Dolliver banners. They have furled them
and are for Roosevelt. "Illinois is for
Roosevelt" said Uncle Joe Cannon of
Illinois, to all he met in the corridors
tonight. The convention today helped
the Roosevelt boomers. 1t was dead
convention. This was not because there
was any feeling against the President.
The delegates were for him and they
cheered well Wolcott's really magnificent
oratory, but the absence of all contest
over the Presidency made the convention
dead. This fact Is being used tonight.

CROOKED.

In many cases the result of wear
ing compound lenses is a distorted
appearance of objects. A door or
window may appear wider at the top
than at the bottom, or vice versa. A
level floor may be inclined up or
down. This is perfectly natural
result and is to be expected. The
eyes have been trying for so long to
adapt themselves to a defective con-
dition, that normal vision seems
strange and unnatural 1t only re-
quires perseverance for few days to
entirely overcome the difficulty. OBJ
jects gradually take on a natural APP
pearance as the eyes become accus-
toned to the new condition. We can
not expect TO undo in a moment q
defect which has been growing for
years. With a little time and pa
thence, however, there is no focal de-
feet of the eyes which cannot be en-
tirely overcome with lenses.

POsTOFFICE BURGLARY
Uncle Sam Robbed of Twelve Hundred
 Dollars at Mesa.

The postoffice at Mesa was burglar ized between and o'clock yesterday morning. The burglars escaped with about $1, 900 worth of stamps and $20O in cash. In the wreck of the safe, which was blown to pieces, there was found $250 which the robbers overlooked in haste and darkness. An en- trance was effected through the law office of Judge Woy. giving the robbers access to side door of the postofice. This was pushed open and an assault was made upon the office safe by men who knew how to go about it.
 The explosion was heard by Charles Connolly, who was sleeping in his store next door. He rose and made a super ficial investigation He discovered nothing, but probably frightened the robbers, who hurried away without taking time to make a more complete examination of the debris of the safe.
 The burglary was not discovered un- til shortly before o'clock. A telephone message was at once sent to the sher- ifs office and as soon as possible Sher- if Murray and Deputy Sheriff Moore left for Mesa. In the meantime it was learned from tracks about the place that the burglary had been committed by three men. It was remembered, too, that three suspicious characters had been seen around town the day before.
 Bloodhounds were put on their trail, but could not follow it. Later in the Jiiay the sheriff received a message from Constable Burton at Tempe saying he had arrested two men whom he be- lieved from descriptions he had re- ceived, to be men who had been seen about Mesa the day before. He had taken pair of peculiarly marked shoes from one of them and put them on file in the office of a justice of he peace.
 All the constable's other precautions were not so complete, for when the sheriff reached Tempe he found the men had flown. They had cut their way out of jail by saving an iron bar off and had gone to the justices office and stolen the reculiarly marked shoes. At nightfaU their trail had not been discovered.
 This is the third burglary of the Mesa postofice in three years. and is a more comprehensive haul than any of its predecessors.

HOW McKee's Cash Store can sell Arbuckle Coffee for 15c when others ask 2Oc.
 WHY they are selling Battle Axe To- bacco at Ale when others are selling at soc.
 WHERE in thunder do they buy a fine Plug Tobacco they can sell at 2Sc?
 WHEN are they going to stop selling Star Tobacco at 4Sc a pound?
 WHAT kind of pull have they got with the soap company that they can sell bars of Gala Lily Borax and ' bars Laundry Soap for Poe?
 WHENCE comes those Little Gem Hams that they are giving away for 12c a pound?
 WHICH is the man to make money faster-the one who pays cash or the one who buys on credit?
 When Murphy, Wilson and Smith are all elected we will stop these slaugh- tering prices, but now they go as hong as the goods last or till our inventory on October 15.

in sorrow and suffering and her kind ness knew no bounds. Her own home was the center of her tender m.nistra- tions but unlike many, her good deeds were not confined to the home circle, but went out to all with whom she came in contact. Living as she did, in a community where the opportunity Was given for the exercise of those noble, generous qualities, the draft was some times very great but never did she hesitate to give the soothing word CT kindly attention that so often helped and comforted the sick and dI@cour- aged one. For several years it was my good fortune to intimately knew Mrs. Dalton and to me she always seemed to possess a heart full of sym pathy and kindness. Even the ser wants in her own household were cheered by her unselfish ways.
 When such a friend leaves us we feel that the world is much poorer from the loss and that many will miss her be- sides her own dear ones.
