Chicago, June 23.-The Tribune to-day says: Mrs Wilson Mizner, or Mrs Charles T. Yerkes, as she pre- fers to be called, is i'll of appendicitis at her residence, 3200 Michigan ave- nue. The first report was that her condition was exceedingly graves and that it was doubtful if she would re- cover.
 Dr William X. Quine said last night, however, that Mrs Mizner was in no immediate danger. He said that if she died it would not be due to appendicitis or the operation, but in consequence of complications. He thought she might get we'll.
 An emergency operation was per formed Thursday and yesterday the case appeared to be somewhat more hopeful. Dr J. D. Murphy performed the operation at the residence.
 Following night of considerable pain Mrs Mizner said yesterday that she felt easier and was sure she would be restored to health.
 Mir Mizner has not been notified of his wife's illness. He is in San Fran cisco.

DUFFY LOSES DECISION.
Famous Runner Will Now Have to
 Secure Reversal or Else Drop Suit.

New York, June 23.-Judge Mac Lean of the supreme court yesterday denied the application of Arthur F. Duffy for a permanent injunction re- straining the Amateur Athletic union from wiping out the record of his performances on the athletic field. Barlow s. Weeks appeared for the A. A. U. and filed demurrer claim ing that no threatened damage to property rights had been shown, and that the A. A. U., being voluntary, unincorporated association, manda- tory injunction could not be issued against it, and that acts already con- mitted could not be restrained.
 This decision disposes of Dufy's suit unless he should appeal from Judge MacLean's ruling and secure a reversal. -. ---,---, |. .,

The graduating exercises of the class of 1906 of the Watertown Gen. ter school were held at the town hall last evening. The program commenced promptly at 8 o'clock. The members of this years class are as follows: Olive Oatmon, oWodward. Joseph Ga briel Shields, Mae Woodbridge At wood, Edna Louise McGowan. Leroy Chambers Roberts, Roy William Hud- son, William Jesse Burton, Ethel Clara Doolittle. This years class though small. is one of the best ever graduated from the school. The pre- sentation of diplomas was made by Paul Kiimpke. During Mir Klimpke's addresss to the graduates, he spoke in an explanatory way regarding the "Star'' system now in vogue. He thought that the criticism by our cit izens of this system was unjust. This aboved named system has brought the attendance in our school from the lowest standard to one of the best in the state.
 In the way of explanation of the "Star" system: For every session that the school that is entirely free from tardiness, that particular room re- ceives one star If there are no ab- sentees and no tardy ones. the room receives two stars. When twenty-five stars have been gained by any par ticular room the pupils are allowed one short afternoon session. going home at 2.30 instead of o'clock.
 The Watertown baseball team has no game for to-day.

MIND

Often our health and our lives are
sacrificed to improper use of vision.
The organs and functions of the body
are closer in relation to one another
than would at first thought appear.
Every component part of the living
organism is interdependent, one on
the other, throughout the whole range
of the body, the influence of one re
yerbrating to the other.
1t has been learned by experience
that, when tired, closing the eyes for
a moment will rest the entire body.
The reason of this is that closing the
eyes shuts down work" on one third
of the brain-resting 1t.
The greatest thing in the world is
man. The greatest part of man is
mind, and one-third of the mind is
eye-sight, and my specially is EYE
SIGHT. If your eyesight is in any
way affected-be sure you have it
attended by a specialist and save
trouble and money and dear sight.

PETITIONS CIRCULATED
Members of the Congregations of var.
ions Churches Sign Petition
Asking for the Cancella-
ton of James Pur-
cells License.

Il The fight to be made by the minis
ters of the city and the w. C. T. L.
secure the revoca1 of the license Of
James Purcell the owner of the Sen
ate saloon, bids fair to prove n per-
sistent one.
a new line of battle was revealed
yesterday when petitions praying the
city council to revoke the license We're
circulated in three of the leading
churches of Grand Junction and 1t is
announced that similar petitions will
be presented to the membership auI
congregation of at least two other
4 Grand Junction churches.
This petition sets forth that where
in ;ames Purcell has been convicted
OF he charge of selling whtskey to
minors and that in so doing he viol-
ated his bond given as a guarantee to
obey the ordinances, it is in the power
of the mayor and the city council to
revoke his license and it is the duty
of the council to do so. The signers
of these petitions urge, as tax payers
and citizens that the council take such
action. The petition further declares
that those persons whose signatures
are attached to the petition are enti-
tied to as much consideration at the
hands of council as chose who by the
sale of liquor seek to destroy our
homes"
The petitions were presented yes
terday morning at the Methodist, the
Presbyterian and the Congregational
churches. Rev. Forsyth in making
explanation stated that Purcell had
violated his contract and agreement
with the city and therefore forfeited
his license and the council, if it de-
sired to see that the laws are carried
out. should revoke the license at once.
He had a copy of the petition placed
at each of the doors of the church
and asked that all who would sign
to do so as they passed from the
church.
II is understood that at the other
churches the petition was passad
along the pews to the members of the
congregation before the audience was
dismissed.
About 125 people signed the petit
tion at the Methodist church and
about one hundred signatures were
secured at each of the other churces.
Through misunderstanding the pc
titions were not circulated at the Bap-
tst and Christian churches, but this
will be done later.
The ministers and the others be-
hind the movement believe that they
will secure over 1000 signatures OF
citizens and taxpayers to the petit
ton. They declare that they do not
seek to. persecute Mr.. Purcell but
seek to have the laws and ordinances
regulating saloons obeyed. Mr.. Pur-
cell has been convicted, they argue
and he should stand the consequen-
ces. They believe a revocal of his
license would be an object lesson that
would cause the other saloons of the
city to implicitly obey the law.
Those in charge of the movement
are free to admit that Mr.. Purcell
conducts perhaps the most orderly sa-
loon in the city but hold that this is
no reason for leniency.
Mr.. Purcell believes that he is be-
ing prosecuted.
There is great difference of opin-
ion regarding the whole matter.
