place, went to his barn and with a re-
volver. shot himself thru the head. The
report was heard by his wife, who, az
ter a search, found him head. The
case OF Mr.. Lightfield calls forth both
pity and regret. The death of his first
wife last winter seemed to plunge him
into uncomfortable grief and the china X
seems then TO have had its beginning.
1t appears that on advice he entered
upon somewhat premature second
marriage with the idea of assuaging his
sorrow. But as often is the case when
the public does not fully understand,
there was not the cordiality there
might have been. and in his imagined
ostracisln his gloom deepened and he
appeared during the past few days to
be passing into mental arrangement.
Yet, his threats of self destruction We're
not taken seriously enough by those
around him. and the dreadful deed hat
shocked the entire community
Mr.. Lightfield was about 60 years
old. He formerly resided near Buck
eye. He retired from his farm some
time ago and came here to live.
The funeral took place at the Evan :
gelical church this afternoon at 2
o'clock, Rev. II. c. Schluter officiating.

GREAT COMMANDER OF THE
l.0.T.M. NJ. MAKES DENIAL

The News is in receipt of a COM
munication from Mrs. Frances E.
Burns, Great Commander of the Ladies
of the Modern Maccabees in Michi-
gan, in which she makes a denial of the
report that one Of the branches of the
l.. o. Il. M. NJ. would join another or
der I'm a Joint installation also that
any other society would have the use
of the free bed endowed by the l.. o.
L. NJ. M. for members in this state.
Mrs. Burns says:-
"a news item published in one of
the upper peninsula papers few days
ago to the effect that the Ladies of the
Modern Maccabees will join with an
other society in a joint installation is
misleading and utterly absurd.
Another misleading statement that
has been called to my attention is the
report that is in circulation that an
other woman's society members can
have the use of our free bed i'm st. Jo-
seph's Hospital in Hancock. This bed
was established by the Ladies of the
Modern Maccabees for the free use of
its members and according to our ar
rangement. cannot be used by any 9TH
er society"
Local members of the order have
been advised that Mrs. Kehoe. of Bay
City. whose suit against the Ladies OF
the Modern Maccabees has been await
ed with much interest. has, after a
thorough investigation OF the matter.
withdrawn the action. stopped further
proceedings and voluntarily surren-
dered her certificate and transferred to
the new schedules ON the last day of
December. This Is taken an acknowl-
edgment on her part that the l.. O. T.

Boston savant's Sight Restored by Ar
tficial Optic.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 26-Through a
most remarkable operation, the first of
its kind. the eyesight of DIR. William
Copley Winslow, noted archaelogist,
historical writer and former Episcopal
minister has been restored. In place
of the natural lens of the eye he now
has a glass lens which performs the
function of the natural lens that the
surgeons removed.
Four years ago Mr. Wnislow's sight
failed and cataracts were found to be
corning over the eyes. These contin-
ued until he was blind. DIR. Frederick
Spaulding, a prominent specialist, op-
Grated upon him in the Bessey hospi-
tai. The cataracts and the lenses Of
the eyes were removed. Then there
was substituted the glass lenses, which
flash to the brain the picture upon
which the eye rests. Without the glass
lenses there is nothing but glare OF
light.
