EyeDefects
are not
Diseases

A defect of the eye, is an imperfec-
ton in the structure of the eyeball and
is not a disease, though by neglect and
abuse it may lead to disease and Of
ten does.
Nearly all eye troubles are caused by
optical defects. Glasses properly fitted
are the only remedy that will overcome
all defects and give permanent relief.
We test and. measure the eye for
every known defect or imperfection of
of vision. Our examinations are the
most thorough and scientific possible,
the most modern instruments and our
original and exclusive methods are used
in every case.
And you will quickly realize most
searching and exact test of your visual
powers have ever been made, and if
you don't need glasses we will tell you
and if you do and will have US grind a
pair for your particular case, we guar
antee the easiest, most perfect vision
you have ever known.
No charge for consultation.

Shooting Of McAllister.

From additional particulars that
have been received in the city in re-
gard to the shooting of w. s. McAllis-
ter at Canton yesterday it seems to
have been a cowardly act. DR.. s. E.
Walker, the man who did the shooting
is reported to have waited for Meal
lister and when he passed along in his
buggy to have shot him. The difficulty
grew out of law suit. Mr.. McAllister
was one of the best known men in
the state, is former member Of the
legislature from Madison County.
Here lately he has been busy putting
on foot plan to pay the repudiated
bonds of the state in which he seemed
to be much interested. He is reported

A New Judge.

Next week some time Governor Var
daman will hand to Hon. w. H. Potter,
of this city his commission as circuit
judge from this judicial district to
succeed Judge Miller. 1t has been
known for some time that the Govern
or intended to appoint Mr.. Potter and
there is no other applicant for the
place. Mr.. Potter is a prominent mem
Der of the Jackson bar and has been
engaged in the successful practice of
law in this city for SOME years. Judge
Miller's term did not expire until the
latter part of September, but he had
made arrangements to go into the
practice of law and desired to be re-
lieved of the duties of the office by
the first of next month, and therefore
tender his resignation to the Governor.

PENNSYLVANIANS MEET.
Social and Business Features Of Key
stone State Club

Col. Samuel Stratton, president of the
Pennsylvania Society, presided over the
meeting of that organization, the last
scheduled before the summer vacation,
which was held last evening in Pythan
Temple, and during he evening he delivered
a short address. He argued that the MEN,
bers of the organization should not sus-
pend their meetings during the summer
months, and after discussion 1t was deter
mined that the society should meet upon
the call of the president.
This action was taken after Col. Stratton
had spoken of the pleasure he felt sure the
members of the society would derive from
a lawn fete. He told of a splendid lawn
in Columbia Heights which can be pro-
cured for such affair. and it is regarded
as more than probable that before the
summer has passed the Pennsylvanians in
the capital city will have an opportunity
of attending such an affair.
Secretary Neiss, after reading the min
utes OF the last meeting, reported for the
committee having the proposed excursion
to Harrisburg, Pa. under discussion. Mr.
Neiss said the committee had been unable
to make satisfactory arrangements for the
excursion. and recommended that nothing
be done in the matter at the present time.
The suggestion was adopted.
Miss May Adele Levers. chairman of the
entertainment committee, gave a piano solo,
and after she had responded to an ENCORE
Mrs. Jessie Nicholson sang Because" and
Annie Laurie AS Mrs Nicholson con-
cluded Col. Stratton called upon Miss Bessie
Monaghan. who responded with two hui
morous monologues. The program came to
a close with the singing of Love in Spring
Time and Tosti's Goodbye by Miss
Levers. Preparations had been made for
a large attendance. but many were kept
away by the rain. and upon motion of Miss
Levers 1t was decided to send part of the
refreshments provided to the children of a
neigh boring orphan asylum.

HEARD PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT
Widow Of Murdered Man Tells Re-
markable Story

CINCINNATI, June 1.-The charred body
Of Frank Kess. an educated Hungarian,
was found yesterday in furnace of the
Ryan soap factory. The body was dis
covered by John McDermott, engineer at
the factory early in the morning. A post
norton examination showed that the mans
skull was fractured- before the body was
placed in the furnace. This seemed to
prove beyond doubt that murder had oeen
committed.
Investigation by Coroner Coe and the Off
of the Ryan Soap Company indicates
that the body of Kess must have been
brought to the furnace between and 6::;O
O'Clock that morning. The dead man
coat was found near the furnace door. The
pockets had been removed and the lining of
the coat cut, as if a search had been made
for some hidden paper money the gar
ment was supposed t. contain.
The entire detective force worked on the
case all day without discovering any def
mite clue until the wife of the murdered
man told an almost incredible story of
what happened to ner husband few hours
before his death. She said that Wednesday
night Mi. KeSs stumbled upon a number of
anarchists in the rear of a saloon at Elm
and Findlay streets. There he overheard
three men. one of whom said his name was
koenig and that ne came from Paterson,
n. j.. planning the ASA Ssnation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt during his visit to Canton
the day before Memorial day.
Kess told his wife that after he heard
the diabolical plot his 'presence was dis
covered by the anarchists: that he was
seized and. under threats of DEATH made
to swear not to reveal what he had heard.
Mrs kess says she never saw her hus-
band excited he when he
turned home that night. He discussed with
her whether he ought to tell the police
what he had heard. When he left home
Thursday morning she understood that he
was to go to the police. He does not seem
to have called at any police station, and
so far the police are able to ascertain
no one who knew him ever saw him alive
again. The police nave obtained no ver-
fication of the widows extra ordinary story
but they cannot explain the apparently
cold blooded murder Of her husband.

Charged With Grand Larceny.

Frank Parrish, twentyfour years of age.
was arrested last night by Detectives Baur
and Cornwell to answer a charge of grand
larceny. it being alleged that he took t1ia-
mond cross worth about s75 from Joseph
Pollard, a dentist. Parrish resides at 447 II
street and the dentist at i2l G street Sat-
urday night a week ago. it is alleged, the
two men were out together and Parrish ac
eompanied the dentist to his home. While
there, it is asserted. the diamond pin dis
appeared, and the owner of it and the de-
tectives have been unable to locate it. Par
IRISH declares that he did not take the pin.
Tomorrow the case will probably be aired
in the Police Court.
