Special BY United Press Wire.
Keokuk. Iowa, Jan. 11:-A man

Michigan preacher suspected of kill

Run church near Adair. Michigan,

Miranda Hughes, at Carthage, H.,
this morning. The sheriff found a
letter in one of his pockets address
ed to the sheriff at Port Huron,
Mich, saying the man was Carmi-
chael and asking the sheriff to come

he killed Browning by cutting up
the body with hatchet and burning
1t piece by piece In the stove. The
letter stated that he changed his

THE GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS

Trenton, Jan. 11:-While all sorts
OF conjectures are being made as to
what the coming legislature will
bring forth, it will open on the one
hundred and thirty-third season to-
morrow noon when Secretary Tyler in
the senate, and James Parker in the

eleven years., will call the respective

Gebhardt Minority Leader.

The selection of Mr.. Gebhardt as
minority leader may occasion some
fun before the session is over as he
was frequently opposed by the mem
bers of his own party last year. He
is a radical of the most pronounced
type and his democratic colleagues
during the past two years have been
obliged repeatedly to refuse to stand
with him on measures. Consequent
ly he may create some run in this
session and the spectacle of the dem
ocratic minority divided on measures
may present itself.
In the house the republican major
ity will elect Professor John D.
Prince, of Passaic, speaker; James
Parker. of Passaic, clerk, and Upton
s. Jeffrys, of Camden, assistant
clerk. Griffith w. Lewis, Of Burling-
ton, has already been agreed upon as
majority leader.
The democrats will have a minori-
ty leader In Mark A. Sullivan, of
Hudson, and will give a compliment
taEy vote to James Kenny, of Hud-
son, for speaker.

BLINDNESS
IS EASILY CURED
Regular Practice and Train
ing All That Is Neces-
Sary.

That color blindness may in some
instances be cured. or at least over
come. by practising color comparison
patiently and regularly. is asserted by
DR.. Brawley. an American physician,
in the International Journal of Surgery.
Says the Hospital in a review OF the
article.
1T is generally held that color blind
ness is due to an organic defect in the
visual apparatus which IS permanent
and unalterable, and Il Is rather sur
pTising 10 learn from this author that
by diligent application and study the
defect can apparently be completely
overcome.
He relates the case Of conductor
on the Southern railway, who, on ex-
animation. he found 20 be so color blind
that he was unable to distinguish IN the
skcin test green, blue. gray, brown, and
different shades Of red. and said they
were all the same color. differing only
In shade. He was in consequence COM
PEELED 10 relinquish his post. He set
10 work, however, 10 study the COlOrs,
and supplied himself with all the diff
ferent colors Of wOolens and various
samples OF paint, and also provided him
self with a miniature lantern.
AT the end of i've weeks he was able
the undergo the most rigid examination
without mistake, and later on he was
also examined by the chief surgeon and
Two other Ocullsts with the same result
Since then DR.. Brawley has ene0ura ged
several other color-blind applicants to
study TO overcome their defect, and
they have been able TO do this in the
same way.
The author is. therefore. led TO the
conclusion that with practice the intel
ligent color-blind can educate himself
sufficiently 10 call ordinary coIors cor

probable that he does not see them
as they really are or as others see
them, but has. as 81 were, a standard
