HAVE you TRACHoS1A2
GranuIated Eyelids Causing the Gov
eminent Much Trouble.

The recent strenuous efforts of the
United States government TO capture
and deport certain Syrian peddlers,
who had entered the United States by
way of Mexico, led to the inquiry,
What is trachoma 2'' The dispatch es
concerning the search for these for
eigners stated that they were suffering
from a disease of that name. and were
a danger to the public. Friday an
Italian musician, q member of the
Conreid Opera company, and a mu-
steal director at the Metropolitan
opera house in New York, was fired
out into the chill Atlantic by immigra-
ton officials because he had this same
disease-traeh oma. As the dispatches
fail to describe this disease, a majority
of the nonmedical population have
theories of their own, and have guess
ed it at everything from yellow fever
to mumps, in virulent forms peculiar
to Italians.
One of the guessers called upon DR..
A. c. Campbell this morning, and
found out that 'strachoma" is a dis
ease common to the human race, and
suffered by at least two per cent of all
the people who have trouble with
their eyes. The disease is nothing
more nor less than GRADUATED lids"
THE disease is contagious" says DR..
Campbell, land may be transmitted by
the indiscriminate use of towels. AS a
rule the disease is not considered seri-
cases, destroys the sight The disease
does not yield readily to any treat
ment, and the most popular treatment
consists OF squeezing out the granlIIss
with small tweezers with rollers on the
points.
.The word traehoma is derived from
the Green, 'trako, rough, and roma.
ulcer.
'fWhy italians should be more subject
to the disease than any other race. I
do rot know, and did not know that
they were until I observed the stories
recently published Perhaps they are
subject to a more virulent form of the
disease
GOuld's Dictionary of the Sciences. a
standard medical authority defines
trachorna as follows.
Granular conjuctivitus.- contagi-
GUS disease of the eyelids that may in
severe cases extend to the globe of the
eye It is at first Characterized by
sago-like elevations of the paIpebral
conjunctiva and later by fbrous and
cicatricia1 tissue that by friction pro
duces pannus. The disease is due to a
specific diplocOccus.
Therefore. if you desire to avoid
trachoma, for which you may be thrown
out of the United States, carefully avoid
any specific diplococcus, Whatever
that is.

CROWD NOT SO LARGE.
People Evidently Disappointed Be
cause Of VinewOod Fare.

AS a result OF the Street Railway
eompany's return to a ten cent fare to
vlDewood park less than fifteen hundred
people visited the park Friday, though
last week when the i've cent fare was
in force there were at least three times
that number Of people on the grounds.
About 300 of these attended the band
concert and less than $50 paid admis-
sion to the theater.
Many Of those who rode to the park
boarded the cars under the impression
that the five cent fare was in effect and
though some Of them left the cars when
they we're told that the fare would be
ten cents, q. majority of them paid their
fares and took their Ill feeling out by
iaWing the conductor who was in no
way responsible. The amusements con-
trolled by c. c. Mathews left the regu-
lar Friday FIVE cent admission in effect
and as a result did a flourishing BUSH
ness, though the receipts did not reach
one-half those of the preceding Friday.
It must be said in justice to Mr..
Kelley, the local manager of the park,
that he has done all within his power
10 make Vinewood park an attractive
resort but he has undertaken something
that can not be accomplished as long
as the Street Railway company insist
on an extra fare from California ave-
nue.. The company carries the crowd
seven efghths of the distance to the
as the line leaves the city limits takes
advantage of a clause IN their contract
which permits them to charge the extra
nickel.
The members of the company which
is playing at the theater complain Bit
terly of the ten cent fare which was
put in effect Friday and so do the mem
bers of the band for that matter. for
they do not like the idea Of playing to
empty seats.
Mr.. Kelley, who is secretary of the
Street Railway company as well as be-
pie had no reason to expect a five cent
fare Friday for we have advertised these
excursions from time to time and did
not feel that they should be asked to
make the reduction when two extra at
fractions were furnished. We had some
misunderstanding with our patrons but
none Of a serious nature as we had
taken the precaution to advertise the
fact the fare would be ten cents each

washington, Aug. 25.-I.etters re-
ceived by the war department from
commanders of artillery posts and
persons who desire to visit such posts
Indicate that the recent order con-
corning the admission of visitors to
posts has not been fully understood
BY commandments. For many years ad-
mission to posts was denied all civil
fans who did not have an order from
the secretary Of war. This precau-
ton seemed ridiculous in many cases
and especially at posts where the
fortffcatfons could easily be seen from
hotels and from passing ships. Con
seoueutly the order was so amended
that commandments of artillery posts
are permitted to exercise their discre-
ton and issue orders to visitors whom
they do not deem Objectionable.

] Topeka, kan. Aug p.
WHEAT-ThiS market has played
strong most OF the week, after selling as
I low as $3.50 for the September, the
strength coming from covering by shorts
and some reports of rain il, the northwest
where It stops the harvesting and thresh-
ing on the grain OF course they have to
call it something, but the true situation
is that the market had broke l5c without
a cent reaction at any one time until
this one and it was due Now the Septen-
Der wheat might sell some lower the last
of this month, as know there is quite d
little long interest outstanding yet, and
they might hold it down until this is out
of the way. The December and May Is
too high for the price of the September,
and that it should sell as low as or per-
maps as lower than September. Now to
look at it one way this IS what might
come, and as it is I think that it looks too
plain to come at this time Those fellows
know that they can sell the country more
wheat at SAC or Soc for Nav than they
can at Tic, and it appears to me as II
this would be the next thing IN order ar
ter the first Of the month at least AS
said before when wheat was selling at "a
when was writing bear letters that when
thew cot the market down to Zoe there
would be lots Of bear news then. This has
come, and TINS is not the only time II
has come. It is common occurrence that
they tell you of something after 1t hap
pens, and don't do you any good Had
cif1c, when 1t was selling at 40 only
few weeks ago as they are doing now every
one of you would have had some to sell
them, but they have it up now and It Is
for sale and they are advertising 1t now
in good shape This is exactly the case In
wheat and always has been for years.
Buy it before they advertise il so plain
for sale, and when they have it for sale
again let them have yours instead of buy
ing theirs. I think you viii make more
money out of it.
CORNlThis market has been good
scalpfng affair al the week and it is high
enough for all. The conditions that sur
round 1t at present, the September is too
high but this month is so contested that
the outcome is hard to forecast I believe
that If the receipts keep coming that It
will sell lower but the December Is not
much out of line and the chances are that
It will give you one of the incest OF scalp
ing markets for some time to com8.
OATSzOats has done nothing the last
week and the chances are that It will not
move very much for some time. but they
have broke ten cents now on what every
body thought could not happen and be-
Heve them a purchase for the long pull.

Leavenworth. Kan, Aug. 25.-George
Caspar was fined S55 in police court for
disturbing the peace and assault and
battery.
Mrs. Grace Colyer, a widow since last
March, the complaining witness against
Caspar, told sensational story.
She said that yesterday morning she
gathered a box of pretty flowers to take
out to the grave of her late husband
when Caspar, who has been living at
her house became enraged and tore
the box and flowers to pieces. He threw
the flowers out doors, she said.
Not being content with the destruc-
ton of the flowers Caspar went into
the house and destroyed a picture OF
Mrs. Coiyer's husband which hung on
the wall. Even this did not satisfy him.
He tore up other articles IN the house.
Officer Voss, who visited the scene tes-
titled the house had the appearance of
being struck by a cyclone
Caspar pleaded guilty to the charges.
but, while Mrs. Colyer cried. she begged
the court to let him off easy. He was
locked up.
Mrs. Colyer says Caspar is Jealous of
her dead husband.
