SHE WAS uNJusTLY ACCUSED.
Two Sisters Failed to Speak for Two
Years. Finally Recognize Each
Other.

Not long ago two sisters OF this city
grew cold and distant towards one
another,.all uncalled for. One claimed
that she was not recognized by the
other when meeting on the streets and
public gatherings, which eliminated
in great enmity between the sisters;
for two years they were never known
to speak to each other. Neighbors
noticed the queer actions of the sisters,
and tried to reconcile them, but all to
no avail, until one was taken sick and
physician called in He noticed
among other ailments her eyesight was
greatly impaired, which caused great
headache and at times almost total
blindness. The poor girl had been suf-
fering from astigmat,sm for years,
which made it impossible, in many
cases, to recognize her friends, and
hence the misunderstanding between
she aud her sister, People cannot be
too careful in accusing one another OF
not being recognized by their friends.
More than seveniy-five per cent of the
people have more or less defective eye
sight.
Lew Arntz, Doctor Of Optics, whose
Office is upstairs, opposite street car
depot, claims he can cure nine cases
out of ten of such and similar ailments
by properly ground glasses. The
above mentioned girl is now entirely
cured by the glasses prescribed by him,
aud has no more trouble in recognising
her friends

hope the white citizens in your CITY
will do as Judge Banks didseeing that
Justice was given to the negroes III

sons parents died some years ago IN
this city and were buried on some very
desirable lots purchased by her, ana
were buried by the side OF some rich
white people, but the white people
later had them taken up and buried
their own people there. Judge Banks
decided that they had acted contrary
to law, and they should pay her $20O 10
replace her parents back In her own
lot, And do pray there will be
enough honest white citizens IN Des
Moines to see that Miss Fields gets Jus
tice, even If she Is colored. AND
will advice you all to enter into con-
test In law to see that this girl has
her rights. If we don't stand up ior
our rights II assure you no one else
will. I believe there will be good
many people In this state that will help
you defend this case.

Prosperity has lifted IFS from the
tub to the club. That the average bus
band does not want his wife to toll
any more than is necessary is proof
th,t civilization has advanced: that
wives can afford to spend washday At
the club instead of at the tub Is proof
that prosperity is wide spread.
aInstead of washing thousands Of
women nowadays spend Mondays read
ing papers, discussing live topics or
enjoying musical programs, and THIS
fact is regretted by nobody but few
old fogies "-Deiineator.
Felicitation upon year of worthy
achievement. Assurance of year to
come lived upon still higher plane Of
vision and thought. These bring 10
you as the garnerings of the twelve
months work. CHANGING over the last
year we have every cause for encour-
agement and enthusiasm.
There has been growth in both nun
boz ord sniritf7. Three clubs are Az
plying for admission into the state fed
Grafton, and three have become so i'm
bued with the club spirit that they
ara annlvsng for admission into the
national association. The constant ap.
plication for items Of interest of oul
work from the women of the other race
and newspapers Is healthful sign that
we are growing in popularity.
The National Association of Colored
Women will meet in st. Louis in July.
We want to be well represented In that
