The increase of suicides in France is one of the most remarkable features of this table, and certainly the European repub- lie is nearer to making the> crime a na- tional sin than is the United States. Again. if race is factor in suicide. we are now drawing most largely from those races in Europe in which the rate IS low. The Italians, the Russians and the Jews are not given to self-murder.
 But generally speaking the analysis of causes are too complicated and too con- nicting to be satisfactory. We can say only that the conditions in this country would naturally be less promotive of the crime for many years to come than the conditions In Europe. The rate in some Of our cities Is already very high. but fin them the conditions of the great Euro pean cities are reproduced. The urban rate Is much larger than the rural everv- where, and in striking the average the United States. with her vast and stili thinly populated territory. has a manifest advantage over other countries.

 and Murdered.

Anniston. November 5.-(Special) )-News reached here last night of the discovery of horrible murder committed sixteen miles north of Edwardsville and near Oaklevel, Cleburne County. The details reveal one of the most cold-blooded mur- ders ever committed.

Studdard's. He remarked to several that morning that he was going by a trail to Piedmont over the Steed Moun- tain. After being absent for about ten days, his brother, who lives at Lime Branch. near Cedarstown, Ga.. was mo- tified. His brother came to Oak Level and made inquiries He then went to Pied mont, Jacksonville and other places, but hearing nothing regarding the where abouts of his brother, he returned to Oak Level, saying that nothing had been seen or heard of his brother after he left Mrs. Studdards
 Organize Search Party.
 A party of 100 men was organized last Saturday, and starting from Mrs Stud dard's, marching abreast, they searched every part of the mountain as they went. About one mile west of the starting point on an almost inaccessible part of the mountain, among rocky crags and tower ing cliffs. and about 200 yards to the left of the trail. his mutilated body was found
 A large rock had been prized up, and his body placed in the hole. and the rock let back on him; and other rocks piled upon him almost hiding him. When the stones were removed 1t was found that his skull was cracked for six or more inches. and that his head had been sev- cred from his body
 The body was so decomposed that 1t had to be handled with pitchforks and shovels. One of his pockets was turned wrong side out. When last seen he had $S0 in money and papers to the amount of $500 on his person, none of which were on him when be was found. His remains were buried Saturday afternoon at the Oak Level cemetery.
 Arrested on Suspicion.
 Wright Knighton and a woman by the name of Mccormick have been arrested on suspicion. Circumstantial evidence against Knighton Is very strong, as it has been proven at the coroners inquest that he said while in conversation with @ woman, "I don't care how much they hunt him (Chandler). his body Is where 1t will never be found"
 MT. Chandler was a school teacher, hav- ing taught in this county during the past summer. He was bachelor and was about 40 years old and a cripple.

EXPLAINS THE EYE.

h<AI LhiNo 1hr ~ 4 Es
The eye is the only organ of the body
that is completely controlled by the
brain, therefore, if there is any kind of
an imperfection in the refraction of the
eye, the brain must necessarily be on a
constant strain to compel perfect vision
through an imperfect eye, This may
affect the brain, causing what is called
asthenopia or chronic sick headache.
This constant effort on the part of the
brain takes brain strength, and in order
to renew its strength the brain draws
on the nervous system for new material
with which to replace the lost power
necessarily used to compel perfect vision.
If the nervous system is perfectly bal
anced it will suffer as whole and the
person with such strain is liable to
nervous prostration or any other disease
that comes because OF total loss of
nerve; but if there is weak point in the
nervous system. that point, because of
lack of power to protect itself, will be
robbed more than any other part, and
the person will have trouble at that
point. If it is in the nerve Innings of
the stomach, it will be stomach trouble !;
if it is the bronchial nerves and muscles,
it will be bronchial disease; or it may
be any other disease that comes from O.
lack of strength in any OF the nerve
centers.
This is no longer matter of conjec-
ture or experiment, for Thousands OF
cures are being made and hundreds Of
thousands Of people benefited through
wearing scientifically fitted glasses,
which give the patient perfect vision
without brain effort, thereby stopping
the loss to the nervous system.
DR.. Roberts, the eye specialist now at
the Toledo hotel, carries the refraction
Of light far beyond anything ever at
tempted in Oregon, from therapeutic
standpoint. He has fitted hundreds of
people in the Willamette valley, and ii
you will call on him he will show
dozens Of letters of praise from persons
who had no more experience to gain in
Oregon, and he can give hundreds of
Oregon references from the very best
citizens of the state.
Call and have talk with him and he
will put the human eye before you in a
far different light from that in which
you have hitherto held 1t. q
