fine for weak, tired and inflamed eyes:
Go to your druggist and get ounce of
Crystos and dissolve it in pint of wa

SENSATION IN COOPER CASE
Former Sheriff Cartwright Arrested
on Charge Of Perjury.

Nashville, Tenn.-A volunteer secret

ranks of the friends of the late Senator
Carmaek, is the force behind Attorney
General McCarn that is sitting the past
and the prejudices of the prospective ju-
rors to try the Senator's slayers.
fractional lines are drawn sharply here
by the champions of each side.
The arrest of former Sheriff 7. Z.
Cartwright for perjury was made possible
by the volunteer secret service of Car
mack's friends. Cartwright, as a yenire-
man, swore he was without prejudice,
out he was not accepted. Next day
came a flood of information from the
Carmack investigators that Cartwright
had, contrary to his sworn answers, ex-
pressed himself with most extreme force
in favor of the COopers.
Cartwright's arrest has given fresh
fuel to the ill feeling already %engendered
by the shooting of the Senator, and little
else was discussed about the streets and
hotels.

BRYAN WOULD NOT HAVE II
Opposes State University Accepting
Carnegie Pension.

Omaha, Neb.-In a signed communica-
ton VIM. j. Bryan opposes vigorously
any action on the part of the Nebraska
Legislature authorizing the State Uni
versity to become a p%ensioner of Andrew
Carnegie OF the steel trust. Mr.. Bryan
discusses at length the pension system
devised by Mr.. Carnegie, and gives nu-
merous reasons why, in his Judgment,
professors of the Nebraska University
should not be permitted to become PEN
sioners under that system.
Mr.. Bryan suggests that the State it.
self increase the salaries of the teachers
in her university after due consideration
of their compensation by the Legislature.
If the beneficiary of this increase in
salary, he says, should prefer to reserve
a part of the increase for old age, for
which the Carnegie pension system is de.
signed to make provision, then the priyi'
lege might be allowed Of leaving a part
payable on demand and drawing interest
rates.

WENT THERE TO LYNCH HIM
Mississippi Blind Tiger Keeper Has
Narrow Escape.

Austin, Miss.-Several of the most
prominent planters of Tunica county
Sunday came near lynching the stranger
who was operating a bin. tiger on the
sandbar near here, claiming that it was
Arkansas territory and Mississippi au-
thorities had no jurisdiction over it.
Just as they rode up to his place they
discovered him in a boat in midstream
pulling for dear life for the Arkansas
shore. He had been warned that these
men intended lynching him, and escaped
in the nick of time.
A few days ago SON of these plant
ers went to this man and told him that
he was defying the law and stirring up
trouble among their laborers by selling
them liquor, and they would advise him
to leave. He paid no attention to their
advice, and they resolved to make an ex-
ample of him by taking the law into
their own hands and hanging him.

RUTH BRYAN ASKS DIVORCE
Grounds Set Forth Are Non-Support
and Desertion.

Lincoln, Neb.-Ruth Bryan.Leayitt,
Oldest daughter of William Jennings
Bryan, Friday filed suit for divorce from
her husband, William Homer Leavitt. In
an effort to prevent publicity, the family
is making every effort to suppress the
matter and withdrew the petition from
the court Immediately after it was filed,
thus preventing the grounds upon which
the divorce is asked from being made
public.
Family friends say the petition def
nitely sets forth non-support as the
cause of divorce. Desertion is also said
to be one of the grounds. The custody
of the children is asked by Mrs. Leavitt,
but nothing is sad about alimony.
