Here's a Duty-Don't Shirk 1t

To the members of the Cemetery
Association and all other persons
interested in Highland Cemetery,
Medicine Lodge, Kansas, read this
notice:
For two years the President of
the Association has called meetings
at stated times and about six mem
bers have responded. We will
call another meeting, Tuesday af.
ternoon, May 10th, at 3 o'clock p.
M, at the home of the president,
Mrs. M. E. Cook,and we hope every
member will be present, and you
who have friends buried in the
cemetery, come. 1t is very dis
heartening for a few ladies to try
to keep the Association up to the
standard when so few manifest
sufficient interest to spare a little
time and effort. We need your
help and ir is your duty to respond.
By order of the President.

Choral Society

The gratifying success of the
Choral Society's presentation of
Queen Esther, December last, made
it a matter for regret that they
were unable to accede to the gen.
eral request for a second perform
ance of this work. The Society
felt, however, that it would be bet
ter to present more varied pro-
gram of vocal music, consisting of
songs, choruses, ETC., and with this
end in view they have been re-
hearsing for the past four months
in preparation fora concert ito be
given in the opera house on Thurs
day, May 18th.
While the complete program will
not be available until our next is
sue, we are assured that the high
standard of the Society's previous
effort will be fully maintained if
not surpassed. 1t is hoped that a
large audience will be present to
show their appreciation of the
work the society is doing.

Rivals for County Superintendent,

J. E. Thomas and Miss Margaret
Kernohan of this city, each an.
nounce their candidacy in last
weeks Medicine Lodge Cresset for
the republican nomination for
county superintendent and as each
has warm supporters the race will
be quite interesting.
Mr.. Thomas is the present in
cumbent. He is now serving his
second term and is seeking a third.
Miss Kernohan has been one oi
the ablest teachers in our city
schools during the past several
years, and is at present teacher oi
the sixth grade and instructor in
type-writing and stenography in
the High School. She holds a pro.
'fessional certificate and has ranked
among the professionals for a mum
Der of years.
We believe that Miss Kernohan,
with her cordial disposition, her
superior tact and talent and her
many other good traits, will de-
velop into a formidable politician,
and Mr.. Thomas will find that he
has a race ahead of him.
It's not our putin but we reserve
the right to sit in the grand stand
and if we want to whoop it up for
a favorlte,as the race gets along to-.
ward the home stretch-why that's
our business and neither of the
candidates can stop US.

District Court Next Week

The May term of the district
court OF Barber county will con.
vene in this city next Monday.
There are eighty.seven cases on
the docket-nine criminal and
seventy eight civil.
The criminal cases are as follows:
State VS. Circle.
State VS. Scates.
State VS. DR.. Williams.
State VS. Kathren.
State VS. Jones.
State VS. Levens.
State VS. Rose.
State VS. Springer.

Fully half of these are said to

ize, it will probably be stricken

There is little of importance on
the civil docket and the term will
probably be short one

You Do Not See

with the eye but with the brain.
The image is focused on the retina,
or end of the optic nerve: and the
impression carried to the brain
then, and not until then, are we
made aware of our surroundings.
This statement answers a score of
questions, viz: Why are people
nervous? Why so much headache?
Why do children wear glasses?
Answer: When the eye is defec-
tive it affects the brain. and the
brain controls the body.

Ex-senator Long a Millionaire

A press dispatch originating at
Washington and published in dai.
lies over the entire country on Sun
day and Monday, states that Ex-
Senator Chester l. Long of this
city will become a millionaire if
the McMurray deal with the Chick.
ashaw and Choctaw Indians for
the sale of coal and asphalt lands
is allowed to be carried through.
Mr.. Long is said to be an associate
and an attorney of McMurray's.
A New York company has offered
thirty million dollars for the coal
lands as soon as the Indians are
allowed to sell, and when the deal
is consummated McMurray and
two or three of his associates. of
whom Mr.. Long is one, will realize
ten per cent.
The western Oklahoma lands
claim amounts in round numbers
10 forty million dollars, and the
consummation of that deal would
mean four million more for Nc
Murray, Long and their associates.
AS a result of the ex-senator rs
unexpected good fortune, Medicine
Lodge is already figuring on a
$4,000 library building, an audi.
torlum, a new water-works plant
and sewerage system.
Our distinguished townsman has
cause to be thankful to Joe Bris-
tow for beating him in the sena.
torlal race two years ago.

CROSSING THE BAR.

This beautiful poem by Alfred
Tennyson was one of Mrs. Houch.
ms favorite gems in literature and
she quoted it frequently on appro-
pirate occasions. Hence at this
time it seems opportune to pro-
duce it here, symbolizing the lofty
sentiment that was an ever. present
characteristic of her being while
she lived among US.
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar.
When put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems asleep.
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark,
And dmay there be no sadness of farewell.
When 1 embark.
For tho from out our bourne of time
and place
The flood may bear me far.
L hope to see my pilot face to face
When 1 have crost the bar.

In The Last Twenty Years

l have, with ground lenses, pre-
vented millions of headaches, re-
stored thousands who were nerv-
Gus wrecks: some bordering on in
sanity, some on the line. Many
thousand children have attained
their education with my aid, in
fact, the people and myself have
been satisfied with my work. My
experience has been gained by con-
slant study, and by carefully
watching the result Of each case
entrusted to me.

Some Time

when the sight fails and a dimness,
slow but sure, is coming to your
eyes, you will then remember the
truthfulness of this statement. 1t
is not what you see, but how much
eye effort you are using to see.
Don't wait until the delicate eve
machinery I is broken down, but
come today and have a free ex-
animation of your eyes. Eyesight
is priceless; save it today for to-
morrow.

A Wonderful Cosmetic

Instead of a frown the forehead
becomes smooth and the little
wrinkles around the eyes disap-
pear as If by magic. Here it is in
a nutshell: The glasses focus rays
OF light to the correct position on
the retina; there is no longer any
eye strain to maintain perfect
vision. Your headache stops and
you fell better all over. People
tell me this every day. They have
had a trialof my work many years.
Come and talk it over. No charge
for consultation or eye examina-
tion.

Mr.. Harry Gay,

Dear Sir;-I take pleasure in
writing to you a testimonial in re-
gard to the benefit you have done
me by treating my headache with
glasses. In the last nine years I
have made several trips to Kansas
City, and have consulted some of
the leading opticians there, but in
each and every case the result has
been unsatisfactory. 1t is now
three years since you had special
ground glasses made for me. and
the results have been satisfactory
in every particular. My headache
vanished at once. All objects now
look perfectly clear, and my ewes
feel so easy l do not realize that /
have glasses on. Your work for
me is most highly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Mrs. L. HOLTsCNEIDER

Dear Doctor:-The work you did
for pupils in our school is of the
very highest order. 1t is surpriS-
ing how much more readily they
prepare their work and how much
easier it is for them to study for a
length Of time.
Parents having children who are
backward in reading, and who are
nervous. restless and unable to ap-
ply themselves to their work,
would do well to have their child
ren's eyes examined to see if it is
not do to some defect in sight.
Respectfully yours,

OBITUARY
Mary L. Stanley was born near
Miles, Illinois July 6, 1858, died in
Wichita, Kansas, April 26, 1910,
aged 81 years, 9 months and 20
days.
AT the age of twelve years she
came to Kansas, and was married
to Albert M.Houchin, in the city of
Eldorado, Nov. %, 1883. In 1885
they came to Medicine Lodge and
have resided here continuously
since that time.
Her life among US is an open
book. Each year tells of many
noble deeds. She believed in the
precept-"Look up, Lift up"-her
ideals were lofty and she responded
to them with a wealth of intellect
that was remarkable. In spiritual,
in charitable and in literary work
she contributed far beyond an Or
binary persons portion and the
things hat she has accomplished
will stand as a monument to her
memory, more beautiful than the
handiwork of a sculptor
Mrs. Houchin will be sadly mis-
sed by the Methodist church,by the
Monday Afternoon Club, by the
Lincoln Library Association and
by other organizations, in all of
which was an active, capable, pro-
gressive leader. But far above all
of these, is the grief that her
friends feel in the separation.
They have been called upon to say
final farewell to true and tried
friend who rejoiced with them in
their joys, ministered to them in
their adversities and sympathized
with them in their sorrows-could
any mortal do more?
To the sorrowing husband and
mother the sympathy of this COM
munity is rendered. Their grief is
heavy but the knowledge Of their
loved ones having lived such a
useful, noble life, should be
soothing benediction.
