only grateful to DIR. Walter but
| thanks the wife and daughter for
their persistence in his behalf.
Mr.. Goeldner will tell you about it
and also what the occulist in Mil
| waukee told him about operation
since it was done, if you will call on
him.
ALBERT MENK, well-known and 1e-
spected in Watertown was a sufferer of
headaches caused by the strain of cross
eyes and for years had not known what
it was to be without pains in the head,
his eye was SO badly crossed that all
that was visible was the white of the
eye. He, like a good many others, was
a sceptic on having any operation per-
formed, fearing, as he had been told,
that he would lose the eye entirely.
Mr.. MEEK consulted DR.. Walter, and
finally ddcided in spite of people who
knew nothing about it, to have the op-
Grafton performed. And to-day he not
only is free from pains in the head but
his sight is greatly improved, and to
use his own words, Il can now look at
things right and have my sight fully re-
stored, DIR. Walters did wonders for
me-"

to the fact that some were dis

all, but there were so many it
was impo ssible.

POLITE TO A CUSTOMER.
The Obliging Hibernfan Clerk Gave
Him Precisely What He
Asked For.

Apropos of the ready comprehen-
sion and native wit attributed to the
sons of Erin, Patrick's compliance
with the customers wish stands out
in bold opposition, says the Chicago
Post. Patrick was clerk in a sub
urban grocery store. It was a busy
season and the grocer was waiting
upon two or three customers at the
same time. He was in a hurry, and
everything had to be where he could
get 1T without much trouble or he
would be delayed and probably lose
money, so when he found that the
pound weight was gone he was both

CONTRARY to the hopes of many
conservative Democrats, the ultra
silver men in the Kansas City conven-
4ion insisted that a 16 to l declara-
zion should be again a pronounced
feature of the party platform, and
thus.the situation is about the same
Sas four years ago. The naming Of
tAdlai Stevenson as Bryan's running
mate, instead of some strong silverite
like Towne, tempered the matter a
ylttle, but not sufficiently to prevent
{ 5ais party from having as interesting
a war within it's own ranks as ever
before.

The American people respect a
man who has done something
great for the good of mankind,
and the name of such a one soon
becomes a household word. The
name Of DR.. Nicholas Sem was
no stranger to newspaper read
ers long before he was appointed
surgeon general in the army.
His work had won for him fame
and fortune; in fact, he left a
practice of not less than $4,000
a year to accept commission
at 5000. This waspatriotism
indeed.
Another physician known to
fame is DR.. ]. B. Murphy, of Chi
cago, inventor of the Murphy
Button, by means of which in
festival connections may be
made and a union may follow
after an infected or ruptured in
testine has been taken out.
The city Of Watertown is en-
PERTAINING a man whose work
has made him well known. DR..
Paul Walter, a specialist on the
eye and ear, has been made ia
nous by the newspapers because
of what he has done in the inter
est of suffering humanity.
| He claims the distinction of
| being the first man to invent a
headache powder, and his form
ula is now used by some of the
best physicians in this country.
He also has a patent on a nasal
inhaler that is worn while you
sleep. 1t has been in the crucial
caldron of test for nearly three
years and has proven a great
success in asthma, bronchial and
catarrhal diseases.
Skill i'm Operating.
This remarkable man has a
natural bent toward operative
work. The eye and the ear are
his studies and he never wearies
Of the researches. He is never
happier than when exploring the
hidden cavities of the middle ear
by means of the powerful cleo
trio lights and scopes he posses
ses and uses for making exami-
nations.
These instruments are won
derful in their mechanism and in
the results they assist in obtain
ing. They are of great power,
and are still SO delicate that
they are, in the hands of such a
, skilled operator as the special
list, the most safe.

miraculous results of DR.. Wal

THE BOXERS SHOWING THEMSELVES.
1t is not particularly safe for foreigners to
go anywhere in Pekng In the surrounding
province of Pe-Chi-Li, where they are likely to
be isolated. This is account Of the uprising Of
a secret society popularity known the Box
ers. This is a manifestation Of an old
society which has existed for two hundred and
fifty years-ever since the Manchu dynasty has
ruled China. The Boxers of the present
day are fanatics who consider themselves in
vulnerable. Their chief bond of union seems
to be their hostility to foreigners in general
and missionaries In particular, reserving their
New-York tribune., 1900-07-08

arch hatred for the Roman Catholics and their
converts among the Chinese. There are almost
daily rumOrs and many too well authenticated
the destruction of their churches. The society
is particularly strong at the capital of Pe-Chi-L,
a city named Pao-Ting-Fu. The country is filled
with refugees, who are fleeing from their
homes and many have begged TO be taken in
side the mission compounds. In some villages
the Boxers parade the streets three times
day, armed with knives, spears and other
tive weapons, and Oblige the Christians to go
inside their houses. They have already threat
ened many missionaries, and the society seems
10 be increasing in size and fauaticism There
