MANY VIRTUES OF EYEGLASSES.
Are a Cure for Seasickness and Perhaps
for Insanity.

Between eyeglasses and worry there
seems no intimate connection; yet the

the patient went TO Ireland, and in spite
OF a rough journey and the fact that lie

exemption from the dreaded malady to

A SONG OF CHEER.

Sing me song from the noon Of the day
Wake refrain from its glory:
Bring me the low'rets that bloom on th'
way:
Make life beautiful story;
Swell the sweet anthems that ring with
a hope
Born not of earth and its sorrow;
Tell me of gates that are waiting 10 opr
For us ON the perfect tomorrow"
Sing to ma never of night. or of gloom
Life holds enough of such sadness
Chill and decay let us hide in the tomb;
Death gives no echo of gladness.
Cast not a shadow; encourage no strife
Time to its close is fast speeding;
Harvest the joy and the sunshine of
Life
And follow where conscience is lead

now at peoples houses, and she never

Kansas Hon..
REFUSED SEAT IN SENATE
Rev. Mr.. Fisher, Because Of His Pro-
nounced Frce.state Views, Was
Marked Man During Border Warfare
Days Prior to War,
NBy Associated Preas.O

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 3o.-Rcv. ID. II.
Fisher. who died yesterday at Baldwin
Kas. was one of the most famous
characters produced by the trying days
Of the border warfare in Kansas and
the subsequent four years OF civil
war
Because Of his activity as a free
State man. and his association with
United States Senator Jim Lane.
Rev Mr.. Fisher was marked by the
Quantrell band. and his escape from
capture and death during the Law
renee massacre is one of the most
thrilling and remarkable incidents of
that affair.
DIR. Fisher YVES one of the few men
who ever refused United States
Senatorship. When Senator Lane
died Governor Crawford announced
his intention of appointing Dr.. Fisher
to fill the vacancy. Later Rev. Mr..
Fisher said in relating his reasons for
refusing the offer:
My wife and | laid the matter be.
fore God in prayer The decision was
against accepting the appointment"

will be ii great victory, for the anti

They need the encouragement, for it

The power of the Mormon church can
not be understood by the people who

They have nearly third of the people,
and To uproot them is Il difficult task.
The unseating of Smoot will be long

AS SEEN FROM ABROAD.

The London Financial News, in dis.
cussing the investigation OF the life
insurance companies in New York, OBJ
serves that the chief result of the in
vcstigation, thus far. is To show that
graft permeates high financial circles
quite as generally as il does the lowest
class of political circles" 1t goes on
to say that lit is probably safe as.
sertion that every large financial in
stitution in New York would show
the same amount of graft il an off
cial legislative committee could be-
appointed to investigate, with the
same power as that now looking into
insurance affairs; and in the case OF
railroads and similar corporations the
entire situation is honeycombcd with
graft"
While we trust that our British con
temporary's pessimistic view is I'M.
founded. we must admit that there is
some ground for the vigorous views OK
pressed.
