o. EYE TALKS
<rhIK Mo oEnN
What Kind?
(TALk NO. 25o.)

There are over a hundred different
makes Of finger piece mOuntings upon
the market, every one of which work
upon the same principle, namely. that
the guards open with the thumb and
finger. There is the Shur-on, the Fits
L, the So-Easy, the Stic-tite, the Pa
trician, and so on. Each nianufactuf-
er claims that his particular mount
ing will never come off, that ii clings
firmly but lightly on the nose, that If
you use his particular brand your eye
glass troubles will disappear forever.
As a matter of fact, those statements
are not true. There is no one mount
ing that will fit everybody. There are
no two noses alike in the world. With
one patient a certain mounting may
be just the thing and with the next pa
tent il will not hold moment The
only way to get perfect satisfaction is
not 10 get the same mounting that
your neighbor wears but the one that
is especially adapted to YOU. | carry
in stock full seventy-five different
makes and shapes-all Of them Of de
pendable quality and servtceable. II
you can wear nose glasses at all one
OF them will probably fit you and the
others will not fit you. Let me show
you yours.

HUTTON ACCEPTS
POINSETT returns
Marion Hazel Afixes Sig
nature to the Going
Certificate.

Declare Clark Nominee Kirby
Ready to Fight.

Little Rock April ALI points of
objection being removed, The certi-
ficate from the Democratic conven.
ton Of Poinsett county, showing that
James p. Clarke carried the county
by 1871 votes. was filed Thursday
afternoon with w. G. Hutton, score
tary of the state Democratic central
committee. Secretary Hutton had
decided 10 accept the certificate pre-
scented Wednesday, and signed by
Sheriff Hooten and Secretary Thorne
Those were officials Of the new com
mittee. Secretary Hutton declared
that the old county committee should
approve the certificate, and not the
officials of the new.
Marion Hazel, chairman of the old
committee, together with Secretary
Thorne, arrived in Little Rock Thurs
day morning and were closeted most
of the day with others from Poinse.t
county. He did not object to signing
the certificate, but maintained that
such action on his part was unneces-
sary, for he had retired before the
vote was canvassed, that work being
done by the new committee. He fin
ally agreed to place his signature on
the paper, which then bore the sigma
lures of both new and old committee
officials, as Secretary Thorne was re-
elected The new committee organ
lied and elected its officers before the
vote was canvassed.
The executive committee of the
state central committee will now
meet and canvass the returns, and is
expected to announce Senator James
p. Clarke as the nominee. The OPP
position is now preparing for con-
test, and expects to make warm
battle in the state convention.

ment railway in Alaska may be built
by a Southerner. Democrats of the
Tennessee delegation, headed by SEN
ator Lea, today called on the presi-
dent and urged that the construction

Colonel v. E. McVee, for many
years connected with the Seaboard

ka work will open the door Of oppor-
'tunity for large number of faithful
party workers. .4

RESCUE SHIPS WORK

ST. Johns. Newfoundland, April q
Details of what is likely to prove the
worst disaster of its kind in many
years are fragmentary tonight This
much is known:
Some time on Tuesday while the
crew of the sealer Newfoundland
were out on the ice floes, hunting
seals terrific blizzard overlook
them. They were cut off from the
steamer and the fury of the storm
drove them further out into the ice.
AS far as can be ascertained from the
brief wireless dispatches that have
come from other vessels In the vicin-
ity OF the Newfoundland sixty-four
of the sealers are dead, the bodies
having been recovered from the ice
by the rescuing crews. Thirty-seven
have been recovered alive.
wireless from the steamer Belli-
venture says that vessel has on
board forty-two of the dead and
thirty-five of the living. It IL ex-
pected the Belliventure will arrive
at this port tomorrow with the grew
some relics of the sea.
News of the catastrophe came from
the steamer !Florizel Of Belle Isl0
Straits. The report said that NUM-
Der of the crew Of the Newfound-
land had been picked up dead Or dy-s
ing, and that these we're on board
the Belliventurer>
The steamer Stephano sist$S 3ip
of the Florizel, was also rep0s
ben in the vicinity Of the Newfo-o
land. The dispatches said that she
was aiding the Belliventure and the
Stephano in an effort to pick up the
men who were frozen on the foes.
Blizzard StJll RACES.
The blizzard has been raging over
the northernpart Of the gulf Of 81.
Lawrence for two days.
The wireless has failed to pick up
any messages from the rescuing
ships for the past few hours. and it

TOLL FIGH T WARM
Republicans Who Voted for Measure
May Change Front to Embar-
.rass Democrats.

Washington, April 1.-The battle in
the senate to repeal the free tolls of
the Panama canal is beginning to
warm up. Secretary Bryan after ap-
pearing before the foreign relations
committees with respect to arbitra-
ton treaties, today went to the room
of Senator Hoke Smith and sent for
various administration senators to
discuss the repeal bill with them. 1t
is. understood that Mr.. Bryan learned
there is a strong disposition in the
senate to endeavor to obtain from
the president information as to the
foreign complications which make
the passage of the bill necessary.
Senators Feel Aggrieved.
Many senators are said to feel that
the senate has equal responsibility
with the president in dealing with for
eign relations and that the senate
should be taken into the presidents
confidence in this matter.
1t become evident today that the
Republican senators see the partisan
advantage to be obtained from oppos-
ing repeal Of the bill and that many
who originally voted against toll ex-
emption for American ships will now
reverse their action and vote against
the repeal of the measure which they
formerly opposed.

Washington. April 2.-The belief is
growing in Washington that Huerta
has executed a coup on General Villa
and that the insurgent chief is in
danger of being captured at Torreon
and his army destroyed.
From private sources reports have
reached Washington that while Villa
was attempting to storm Torreon,
large bodies of federals have thanked
him, cutting Off his retreat across the
arid desert to the north. These re-
ports indicate that the tactics at
Torreon are the result of carefully
laid plan, mapped out by the federal
general long before Villa massed al
most his entire army at the beleag-
uered city.
Army officials today expressed the
opinion that Torreon has been rein
forced by the 5000 troops which left
Saltillo for that purpose last Thurs
day under General Mas.
1t is believed that the war depart
ment is getting dispatches on the
struggle at Torreon which it does
not make public. 1t is understood
that the wireless outfit at Torreon
is in communication with the United
States army apparatus on the border
