CORNELL WINS
 VARSITY RACE
COLUMBIA WITH TWO MEN PROS TRATED LOSE BY A SLIGHT
 MARGIN.
Was Greatest Eight Dared Race In the History of the Pouehkeep
 sic Regatta Course.

Poughkespsie. MN. r., June 27-- While two men lay practically help less in the Columbia shell. Cornell Varsity eight pulled out a victory today in one of the greatest four mile rowing races ever seen at Pough kespie. It was Cornelrs race by a scant length and half. with only 6 seconds to spare. Her time was 20 minutes, 10 4-5 seconds; Columbia's time 20:16 4-5. Pennsylvania was third; Wisconsin fourth and Syra- |cuse helpless fifth.
 The Columbia fresmen eight car ried off honors in the youngster di- vision, winning by two lengths from Cornell. Syracuse was third and Pennsylvania but half length be- hind. The Wisconsin freshmen were a badly outclassed fifth. The official for Columbia was 10:13 1-5.
 Syracuse fought in the Varsity fours but Courtney's men defeated them by half length, with Colum- bia two lengths behind and the Penn sylvania four twenty lengths in the rear in the wash. No official time was taken.
 The freshmen won Columbias first victory in sixteen years, their Var sity crew having won in 1895, the year the Poughkepsie course was estab- lished.
 Under q hay sky with a wlsp of a southern breeze stirring flags and bunting the Varsity crews shot away from the mark at 5:51 D. m. for the four mile grind. Columbia was quick to take the lead For the first quar- ter mile they held it, then the power ful stroke of Cornell sent the red and white shell ahead until the half mile when Cornell led by half length, It was clear now that the struggle was between Cornell and Columbia.
 The mile post passed, Cornell and Columbia were so even that picking the leader became guess work. At the two mile mark Columbia came into the lead, slowly at first but with a strong clear stroke. Il looked at this poist as if Columbia was the strongest crew and hat forced a lead after two miles from weakening Cornell eight.

TESTIMONY
 IS MUDDLED
WITNESS CONTRADICT EACH OTHER IN THE LoRlMER lN-
 vEsTiGATloN.
Shelly B. Jones Denies His Own Statement With Reference to the sf00,o00 SIush Fund and
 It's Use.

Washington, June 27.-Contradic tions in testimony concerning D. cuniary assistance, Edward Hines the Chicago lumberman, may have rendered. in the election of Senator Lorimer, marked today's session oi the senate Investigating committee The most significant of these was the direct denial by Shelly B. Jones. a druggist in Marquette. Mich, that he had ever said MT. Hines had re- market in his presence that he had "put lorimer over" as United States senator, and that he had eol- lected fund of $l00,0O0 to do it.
 in so testifying, the witness con~ tradlcted affidayits of E. D. Mosier, deputy United States marshal, of Marquette; Frank ]. Russell, editor of the Mining Journal of Marquette, and Robert c. Lowe, a Chicago news paper reporter, made before the com mittee. His statement also contra dcted the testimony given by Nor ris B Coan. an investigator for the committee at that hearing.
 According to MT. Jones statement the conversation in which Mir. Hines figured occurred in Marquette in 1907. or about two years before the sena- tarial election. He said MT. Hines remarked he was friend of MT. Lorimer and something was said about the latter's election. ; T suppose it cost a barrel Of money" remarked one of the men with Mir. Hines, but whose name the witness could not recall.
 Yes, sir" the witness said, MT. Hines responded. "All those elec- tions cost lot of money"
 William O'Brlen. of Duluth, Minn., vice-president of the Virginia and Rainy Lake Company of which Mir. Hines is president and of wlich W. H. Cook, another witness was a director, contradicted the testimony given to the Helm committee by ln- yestigator Coan. He denied MT. Coan hal requested him 10 appear before the Helm committee, as Mir. coan is credited with having testi- fled he did so request.
 Both Mir. O'Brien and MT Cook said they were in MT Cooks room at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago about the time of Senator Lorimers elec- ton, and that Mir. Hines had a tele- phone conversation from that room.
 Mir Cook repeated the testimony he gave to the Helm committee con corning that, varying it, however, oJ declaring that when the telephone operator rang up and askel if Mir Hines was there, she said:
 Here is Governor Deneen."
 Mir. Hines was quoted as sayint Lorimer must be elected anu on"e IN would be down on the next tram prepared to furnish all the money necessary.
 Mir OBrien testified ne was ex' changing a telephone call and heaf' Mir. Cook say when he answered th' telephone:
 MT. Hines, the governor wants U speak to you
 Did you hear the telephone con yersatlon?' Attorney J. J. Healey 10 the committee, asked the witness.
 No, I am little hard of hearin
 and 1t was none of my business.
 The witness denied he had eve
 claimed MT. Hines was talking to Ex
 Governor Yates.

A Few Words About ..S&S1a
EYES M<@-s<
BY Mena's Eye
Expert. -

Citizens of Mena and Polk County.
| am so grateful for the patron
age and announcement from so
many good people here since | cast
my lot among you, | feel it my duty
as an exclusive, scientific 0ptician,
TO try and impress upon your
minds some facts in regard to that
intricate organ of sight, the human
eye, most especially of children.
Statistics show that Blindness
and Impaired Vision is rapidly on
the the increase in this country.
and it seems we are destined to be
known as the "weak-eyed nation
of the world. The greatest cause
of this trouble is physiological
defect of the eye called Astigmat-
ism, which is an error in the re-
fractive media of the eye and
cause more headaches than all
other causes combined; also nerv-
BUSINESS and many other complaints.
This defect can only be corrected
by glasses so compounded by sci
entiflc grinding that they will make
a perfect image on the retina of
the eye, giving true sight. Fitting
eyes so afflicted with glasses can
only be done by one skilled in on
tics. Would you think of going or
sending child TO a blacksmith for
false teeth to save paltry dollar?
Then do not neglect as delicate an
organ as the eye.
For the time I have been in Mena
| have found more complicated err
rors of eye sight wearing glasses
imperfectly fitted than any place I
ever practiced. / have devoted
over 26 years of my life as a consci-
entious Optician, striving to ac-
quire skill to master every obstacle
that presented itself. In order to be
a real benefactnr TO these efittrust-
ing themselves in my care, | have
graduated from two scohols teach
ing 0ptometry. made special study
in the grinding of lenses, also to
the proper fitting of frames. NY
extensive practice has brought me
in contact with every feature of
impaired vision. | do not have to
experiment. I guarantee to give.
right here at home, as perfect work
in my line as can be found any,
where, no matter how large the
city to which YOU go or to what
specialist. | expect to remain here
and prove tho above assertions te
be true to those who are not too
skeptical TO investigate or patron
ize one at home. | will not de-
ceive any one. Respectfully.

Nothing grows old as quick as

chagrin.

Joe Garland was off Wednesday
morning after consignment of
mixed goats that Lit Holiday has
graciously unloaded onto him. We
have practiced on the brush with
old men and young cubs, cythe
blades, double bits and fire, and
have only got as far as Braddock's
defeat. SO we now resort to the
last remedy, and if the goats fail to
clear the land we will sell out to
"a wind-blistered nor'westerner and
so into politics and start news
