Senator Vest Not Blind.

The news that Senator Vest is having
his eyes treated by the new process Of
revivification applied with success in a
number of cases by a Baltimore expert
has again started the report that the
distinguished Missourian is blind This
false report obtained wide circulation
last spring and worried the Senator a
great deal. In order to prove its falsity
Mr.. Vest wrote with his own hand let
ters to several friends. While these let
ters were pitched on a plane of SEEM
ing good cheer there was vein of pathos
in them which showed how deeply hurt
the famous Missourian had been by the
circulation OF the report. The fact is
that the Senator's eyesight has been
failing him gradually for several years.
and under the advice of his physicians
he has been exerting his eyes as little
as possible, but he has the opinion OF
the ablest experts in the country that
there virtually is no danger OF total

Executive was suffering from the pain
