Meeting To-day.

The Harvard overseers will meet to-day. and
those interested in football are wondering whether

Recently when President Eliot of Harvard was
asked to call a conference to consider reforming
the game, he said that the football question in
Harvard had now become one OF the problems of
the overseers and it was fer them 10 take action.
Since the beginning of the agitation one Of the
most important considerations has been the stand
that Harvard Yale and Princeton would take and
# has been realized that Harvard was practically
taking the lead Several things led to this position
of Harvard not the least of which were the con-
ferences at the White House. when William T.
Reid. jr the Harvard coach, and Herbert White, of
that university went to Washington the re-
quest of the President
Immediately after the visit to Washington Mr.
Reid asked the Harvard Graduates Athletic Assoc
citation to appoint committee to consider the
needs of football and the best methods to bring
about its reformation That committee an
nounced last Friday. and has been in session daily
since then. It may have some recommendations to
make the overseers to-day, or the overseers may
consult with the committee.
In addition to the appointment of this commit
tee. which would tend 10 delay action on the part
of the overseers is the action of the rules commit
tee at it's meeting in Philadelphia, last week when

Gray has been kidnapped and is still

Mr.. Otis Boehme, of Audubon town

day last week. There seems to be no
doubt about Mr.. Boehme's intention
to do some ante-nuptlal business with
Mr.. White, but just at the critical
moment, when he had succeeded in
clearing his throat and subduing his
fluttering heart, the editor of the Re-
publican stepped intuitively into the
Office and in dignified manner drew
from his pocket little jotting tablet
over which he poised q pencil as he
looked inquisitively about. Mr..
Boehme turned pale, said something
about newspaper fends, then took a
straight shoot for the door and a bee
line for the open country. He was
last seen going south with his coat on
his arm and hopping the perspiration
from his brow with red bandana as
he muttered maledictions about
editors.

Blind
II Years
Cured by
DR.. WEBER

The Democrat has recently heard
reports of remarkable cure eff
fected by DR.. A. II. Weber, the Des
Moines occulist who comes to Hotel
Lewis once month, and after in
vestigation we find the reports to
be true. The cure was in the case
of Mrs. Scurlock Of Cherokee, whose
picture is given herewith. The case
is an interesting one and will at
tract attention both from a scien-
titic standpoint and in the interest
of humanity in general. Mrs. Sour
lock has had her sight restored
after seventeen years of blindness.
She has daughter is years of age
whom she has not seen until three
months ago.
Mrs. Scurlock was afflicted with
cataracts which rendered her to-
tally blind.
According to her own story she
had been treated by occulists with
out the least benefit, and gave up
all hope OF ever seeing again, when
friends told her of DR.. Weber hav-
ing cured many difficult cases of
eye trouble. 81 called on him. said
Mrs. Scurlock, land when he in
formed me that he could restore
my sight it seemed too good to be
true. He has done so to my perfect
satisfaction. DR. Weber removed
the cataracts painlessly.'
Mrs. Scurlock has recently called
at this office and her sight seems
to be as good as that of any ordi-
nary person. She has a good rea-
son to feel overioyed and is un-
stinting in her praise of DR. Weber
and his miraculous cure.-The
Cherokee Democrat.
