PASSENGER SAYS
CAR WAS At FAULT

A Hawaiian named Andrew Iaukea
Bright was last night about Z O'Clock
brushed off the footboard of a trolley
car on Hotel street near, Punchbowl
by Tom Quinn's Packard automobile,
being so injured that he was taken,
to the Queens hospital to get patched
about the head and arms.
w. l.. Eppinger of San Francisco
was Quinn's passenger at the time OF
the accident AS he was leaving in
the Siberia for home he came to The
Star office with Quinn this morning
and made the following statement:
According to the morning paper we
were going on the wrong side of the
street. In TACT we had stopped un-
der tree to fix the lights We were
there about three minutes. A car was
coming along at the rate of twenty
miles an hour and just as we started
our top grazed the railing of the car"
Mr.. Quinn here explained: THE top
swayed and hit stanchion of the car,
and l suppose the man was brushed
off," -~'t -t@ a~'-
Mr. Eppinger resumed: eve didn't
see anything injured and so did not
stop. The street car was going so
fast it could not stop for nearly a
block We were just starting up
when the car passed and our top
swayed over a bit"

There have been no Developments in
the mail carrying matter since last
week, the matter drifting along under
the temporary contract with Estey
Armstrong, at $3.50 per year. But he
only took it temporarily as he must be
back in school by Sept. 18th. Last
week parties in Loon communicated
with Senator A. B. CummiDs in regard
to the delay in receiving mail here, and
he at once took up the matter with the
Assistant Postmaster General at Wash
ington, who wrote Senator Cummins
that temporary arrangements had
been made, and the department consid-
cred 1859 per annum as ample and re-
munerative pay for the regular service.
The assistant postmaster general who
receives salary OF thousands of dol
lars per year evidently thinks that
some man ought ito be secured in
Leon to work seventeen or eighteen
hours per day for $50 amonth. We sug-
gest that he come out here and find the
man. Neither the postmaster OF the
special agent sent here were able to find
anyone who wanted the job at this
price. The only carrier who could af-
ford to carry the mail for $50 per month
is the Leon Bus Co., and they have fled
. bid to Garry the mail for $50 per
month, and it il well worth this price.

There are some people who claim
that there is no such thing as luck.
And then there are others. For in
stance, Frank Bpperson, vice president
of the Manning & Epperson State bank
at Eddyville drew No. 1858 in the Occur
D'Alene land drawing and No. 1862 in
the Flathead reservation rattle. The
average self made man proclaims from
the housetep that there is no such
thing as luck, and that he owes his
success to his manifold good qualities,
his superior intelligence, his energy
and close application to business. Bat
here is man who really did not need
land, who probably owns fair slice of
the soil of Iowa, the best land in the
world. Yet he gets into the game and
the blind goddess smiles upon him, not
merely once, but twice. And many a
poor fellow, who hoped for good mum
Der, to give him the chance to make a
new start in life, drew blank.

D. A. Dale, Optometrist, who has
been here the past two weeks fitting
glasses, has rented suite of rooms for
his Office use over the Home bakery on
the north side of the square, where
he will be found permently from now
on.
He has all the latest improvements
for testing the eyes, and has been
practicing the last II years.
Notice what Mr.. A. L. Natter, nurse
of Monroe, Ia, says of Mr.. Dale.
81 was bothered with headaches every
day for II years some days so bad that
l had to go to bed. l went to several
physicians and specialists and took
treatment after treatment but none
did me any good. Finally in 1906 l was
talking with Mr.. Dale one day about it
and he said that it was my eyes and he
could fit them with glasses and would
have no more headaches. l didn't be-
lieve it, but was willing to try, so he
fitted me with them in June, 1905, and
to this day l haven't been bothered
with the headache and l only had to
have my lenses changed but once. /
know of many more cases around
Monroe, of the same kind that Mr..
Dale has done in the same way.
