rof. L. W. Dean Makes This statemon,
Concerning Eve Diseases


Iowa City, April 25.-Dr. l.. w. Dean,
professor of physiology in the Univer-
sity OF Iowa and prominent oculist of
the state, read paper on the causes of
blindness in children in the state of
Iowa. The cases illustrative of the pa
per were all drawn from those in the
school for the blind at Ninton, for
which DR.. Dean is physician. during
the last eighteen months. The total
number of cases was 1S7. DIR. Dean
discharged twenty-five children from
the school on the ground that they
could see. He found them disputing
about the colors on the wings of a bird
on church steeple some distance away
and thought that they would be able
to find their way in life without fur

Diseases of the eye due to specific
causes costs the state of Iowa over
$4,000 annually. A smaller number of
cases are due to degenerative changes.
principally consanguineous marriages,
although DR.. Dean was careful to ex-
plain that not all consanguineous mar
rlages resulted in blindness or defects
! IN the offspring. In cases of children
or consanguineous parents, however,
Or. Dean made a careful examination
of the parentage of the patients and
was unable in any case to find any de-
feet In the eye-sight of the parents.
One of the causes of blindness which
1t is very hard for physicians to inn
press upon their parents is sympathet-
ic opthalmia, decay of the good eye in
sympathy with the bad one. This is
due to the irritation of the terminal
filaments of the good eye by those of
the bad eye, causing a disturbance of
the blood centers. 1t appears in from
few weeks to forty-two years after
the destruction of sight in one eye.
Granulated lids cause blindness by
grating upon the coat of the eye like
sand.
After the reading of DR.. Deems pa
per, Prof. Andrews gave voluntary
report, showing that the average age
to which the great chess players of the
world have lived to be 56.7S years, that
of actors COOP, that of poets 65.4s, of
mathematicians 67.21, and of generals

was that war is the safest pursuit.

However Frank Noel Must Turn the Fuel
Over to the State.
Des Moines, Ia, April 24.-The state
of Iowa owns $50 cords of good wood
for which 1t has no use and which no
body has the authority to sell. The
case is peculiar one and the facts
have just been brought to the atten-
zion of the state officers. The wood Is
piled up on an island in the Missis
sippi river, which Is west of the nam
shannel and therefore belongs to Iowa.
The owners OF abutting property have
supposed that the island belonged to
them and it has been included in sew
Aral deeds In Dubuque county. The
and along the river belongs to Frank
Noel and he had the wood cut, as 9TH
ers had cut from the island. He got
INTO controversy with a neighbor over
payment for load of sand taken from
the island during the winter and the
neighbor called the attention of the at
.orney general to the fact that Noel
Claims ownership of the island. The
attorney general decided that such is
not the case, but that it belongs to
iowa. Noel has been notified to neither
cut more wood nor haul off that which
mas been cut. 1t belongs to Iowa. But
Iowa does not have any officer charged
With the duty Of selling cord wood

Of Iowa is still nominally in force.
This is case in which the agent of

sale was made In Rock Island and that
the express company was but the agent

300 and the following as officers:
President. j. H. Slough; vice pres
dent. w. H. Rassett; secretary, J. L..
Gemmill; treasurer, j. w. Reed.
These men are grocers and the result
of their association will be to CONSOLE
date four of the largest grocery stores
In this city into one. 1t is figured that
$4,000 annually can be saved in oper-
ating expenses and this 1t is said will
enable the company to reduce prices of
goods This organization is direct
result of the recent suicide of c. r.
Blackman, prominent grocer here.
He mortgaged his large stock to Bax-
ter, Reed & Co. the night before his
death. The problem of what to do
with the stock suggested that there
were too many grocery stores here and
consolidation resulted. The Black
man store is being used as the sales
room Of the new organization.
