MILLIONS RUINED.

1t is inconceivable that any person

toms of defective or failing eyesight

hands of any one but SPECIALIST
The eye is the nose delicate organ oi

ruined by improper treatment o.

The very particular reason why the
bonds of the city of Grand Junction
have not been sold as yet. is that
there is no demand for such securlt-
les in the east just at this time. The
bond market is at low ebb, money
is high priced and it may take some
little time to sell the bonds. Several
other towns and cities in the state
that have voted bonds for the crea-
tion of municipality owned public
utilities, are still holding their bonds
and have not made sale of them as
whole We need not be discouraged
in the least because we have not sold
the bonds as We thought we might.
there are ample reasons why there
should be slow sale. Another rea-
son why the bonds have not been
sold lnstanter is that our Indebtedness
is large and does not show up well in
specifications regarding our finan-
cial condition.

AN AGED BEGGAR.

This morning at an early hour City
Marshal o'Neil arrested Fred Lowe,
an old man who has annoyed many
residents of the city by persistently
begging for money.
1t seems that the old fellow who
seems TO be of German nationality
has been calling at various residences
and If a lady responded to his call
he would produce a paper alleged to
be signed by some physician stating
that he had his arm broken in three
places and was otherwise disabled.
He would then ask form oney. If n
man came to the door the old man
would offer for sale some furniture
polish.
1t is said that the old man had call
ed at some places time after time.
1t Is reported that what money he
would secure would go for whiskey

Lowe was arraigned before Judge
Sweeney of the police court this morn

declared that he was suffering from
inflammatory rheumatism. lung all

sentence of $40 and costs but stated
that it would be suspended II the city
physician found that the old man
was suffering from the maladies with
which he claims to be afflicted. If
he is found to be a sick man the coun-
ty commissioners will, as is proper. be
called upon to provide for him for

The subscription price of The Sen
tinel will remain the same during the
year of 1907. If we thought that We
were not giving full value for the rate
charged, fifty cents per month, we
should possibly consider the reduc-
tion Of the price on the premise that
we are charging too much. The aim
of this paper is to constantly give
an increasing news service TO our
readers and make the paper worth
the money charged. The number of
new subscribers which we are CON
stantly adding to our list gives the
best possible evidence it is the news
service that counts and that we are
supplying the kind of paper that the
people want.

The number of appalling railroad
accidents of the last year. have be-
gun to make the American people
think and to look for a cause. Very
generally people attribute accidents
to the negligence of an engineer or
conductor, who has forgotten an or
der, slept at his post or to the dispat-
cher wha has juggled his train or
ders. They do not know that many
of the most horrible accidents are the
result of the acts of an overworked
station agent. who very generally
acts in the triple capacity of agent.
telegrapher. night operator. with the
several side issues such as baggage
smasher and way bill clerk thrown in.
This much overworked individual
works eighteen hours out of the "a
and is underpaid. so that the company
may save little money. It is con-
tributory criminality for railroad to
skimp upon the number of employees
to properly attend to business at the
smaller stations. The lives of tens
of thousands of people are in the
hands OF this overworked and under
paid individual. every day and night
out of the year. The state authorit-
les should bring the railway manage
ment up with forceful Jerk. and
make them provide a sufficient num-

Robert Fahey,

The remains of Robert Fahcy. the
electrician who was instantly killed
between Augusta and Hallowen Sat
urday morning by coming in contact
with live wire, while working
amongst the wires, was brought to this

charge of Undertaken Frank Reding-
ton. The body was later taken to the
home of A. f. Sawyer until his rcla-
tives arrive.
Mr.. Fahey was formerly in the en-
ploy Of the local telephone company
OF this city and worked here for two
years, afterward going to Augusta. He
made many friends during his stay in

his tragic end.
T Tho deceased was n member of the
Court America, Foresters of America

lodge went to Augusta Saturday night
to escort the body to this city.
His brother, who is in the employ of

Respectfully Submitted.

The following taken from the Boston
Herald of Sunday will be of interest. The
attention of the city government will
doubtless be called to the matter of the
discontinuance of Seavey street at it's
next meeting:
Officials of the Maine Central railroad
some months ago petitioned the Water
vile city government for the discontnu.
ance of Seavcy street at the upper end of
the Waterville railroad yard. in order to
provide room for the extension of tracks
The city is delaying about settling the
matter. and the work of the yard is be-
ing carried on under congested conditions
which makes the work of shifting hazard
Gus.
The Board of Trade has recommended
the discortinuance of the street. Citi-
zens are aprrehensive lest the railroad
officials transfer the business of the local
yard to Oakland. which bids fair to be-
come an important junction, because Of
the extension of the Somerset Railway
and the opening to traffic of vast area
in northern Somerset county.

KNOWLES FURNITURE co.
Is Doing Fine and Rapidly Increasin!
Business.

Among the industries which have
made Fairfield one of the busiest towns
in the State is that of the G. II
Knowles Furniture Co. and it's success
Is due In no small deg. o to the energy
and ability Of its head, c. II. Knowles.
He has not been contented with mere
business success but has striven con-
stantly to improve the products of his
factory. 1t was this desire for i'm
provement which gave birth to an idea
which has been successful from the
start and which has opened up to the
company new and wide opportunities.
The idea was the construction of a
window screen which should have all
the advantages of the old fashioned
kind with none of its disadvantages.
Mr. Knowles worked over the idea
about a year and after perfecting it
secured patent. Last year the new
screen was introduced to the whole
salers and was so favorably received
that the company began their manu-
facture in the spring of the present
year.
BY the middle of July the Knowles
Furniture Co. had placed $4,000 of
them on the market and have now over
500 dozen in storage ready for i'm
mediate shipment. Before the end of
the summer these figures will prob
ably be greatly increased.
The value of the new screen lies in
it's ACCESSIBILITY and convenience. 1t
is SO made that it may be laced in the
window from the inside of the house
One side is furnished with an adjust
able edge which has play of about
q of an inch. This edge is controlled
by simple spring With not only
keeps the screen perfectly tight in the
casing but, by its lateral pressure,
holds the screen at any height desired
The Knowles Furniture Co. employ
80 or more men and if the demand for
Mr.. Knowles invention continues TO
increase in the future, as it has in the
past, there is little doubt but that it's
manufacture will develope into an in
dustry which will be of great import
ance to Fairfield.

Rev. G. Y, Washburn's Good Work,

The friends and former pariShiOners
of the Rev. G.. Y. Washburn who was
formerly settled over the Congregations

evangelistic campaigns and they will
be pleased to learn of his success in
similar work since that time both i'm
Harwich and Everett, Mass.
The following item from the Con-
gregationalist of July %, has been
shown the Journal:
This church in Everett received Il
members, II on confession, at the July
communion. This is part of the results
of a revival campaign on the old lines
conducted by Rev. Charles S. Haynes
and his wife. the gospel singer. with
help later from Lawrence and Charles
Greenwood and nciShhoring pastors.
The meetings were held in the new
building-to which all the churches of
Suffolk North, South and West Confer
enccs and the Congregational Church
Union of Boston contributed generous
w. The settlement of a troublesome
lawsuit with the contractor and the Sc
curing of funds to pay floating debts
and insure the pledges Of the Cochrane
Chemical Company and Of the Church
Building Society, left pastor and people
free tasevangcliZe as in former times.
This is the only church or Sabbath
school among $500 people within mile.
It's constituency is largely British
American. Some of the converts have
already joined elsewhere: others will
come later. The church free from all
debts except to the Church Building
Society will be dedicated in early fall.
1t is the seventh year of Rev. G.. \.
Washburn's pastorate.

to hold up an automoblist and warn
him of the speed limit. At this season
of the year there are many machines
passing through this city and although
it is hard to tell their exact rate of
speed the police have pretty good eyes
and judgment and are generally able
to tell whether they are travelling faster
than eight miles an hour. One large
machine went through the Main street
last Saturday morning at terrific
rate and the number on the rear was
So obscurcd by mud, that the marshal
