Dr. Daniel K. Pearsons, tho

aged ninety-two. Ho made seven

In a pitched battle between Mexi
can federalists and rebels, the latter
were completely routed, 220 being

battle was occasioned by an attempt

Washington republicans instructed
for Theodore Roosevelt.
The Colorado democratic conven

A Bridgeport, Conn., dispatch
says: Connecticut's four delegates-at-lai'ge
to the democratic national
convention "were elected and were
instructed to "use all honorahlA
means" to secure the nomination for
president of Governor Baldwin. In
resolutions passed at the state con
vention an amendment -making
Speaker Clary the delegation's
second choice was voted down. The
five district conventions also elected
delegates and made Baldwin their
first-choice.
In the republican primaries for
Massachusetts' Mr. Taft received 3,
000 majority on preferential vote,
but the eight delegates-at-large were
Roosevelt men. Mr. Roosevelt is
sued a statement that he would ex
pect these delegates-at-large to vote
for Mr. Taft because the latter re
ceived the preferential vote. The
delegates-at-large, however, held -a
meeting and announced that they
would insist on voting for Roosevelt.
These delegates claimed that they
all ran as Roosevelt men and that
their election was in itself an in
struction. One of these delegates,
Mr. Baxter, perhaps voiced the atti
tude of all of them when he said:
"I can not speak for my associates
on tho ticket, but this, I know, that
I was a Roosevelt man three months
ago and I am a Roosevelt man now.
I would have been a Roosevelt man
if I had. been defeated in the pri
maries. I have never tried to get
any votes that were not for Roose
velt in my campaign, and I am still
for the Colonel. I am a Rooseveltan,
ran as a Roosevelt man and have
been elected as a Roosevelt man. I
can say no more, and I hope I make
myself clear."
Referring to the republican com
plication in Massachusetts, the As
sociated Press says: A somewhat
similar situation was created on the
democratic ballot. Speaker Champ
Clark, who had no pledged candi
dates on the ticket, won a two-to-one
victory over Governor Wilson in the
presidential preference contest. At
the same time delegates-at-large
pledged to Governor Foss of Massa
chusetts were elected to attend the
Baltimore convention, although the
name of Governor Foss did not ap
pear in the presidential preference
column.

SIMPLE HOME TREATMENT DOES IT
At last tho good news can be pub
lished. It Is predicted that within a
few years eyeglasses and spectacles
will bo so scarce that they will bo
regarded as curiosities.
Throughout the civilized world there
has for soveral years been a recognized
movement by educated medical men,
particularly eyo experts, toward treat
ing sore, weak or, strained eyes ra
tionally. The old way has been to fit
a pair of glasses as soqn as tho eyes
were found to bo strained. These
glasses are nothing better than
crutches. They never overcome the
trouble, but merely give a little relief
while being worn, and they make tho
eyes gradually weaker. Every wearer
of eye-glasses knows that he might as
well expect- to cure rheumatism by
leaning upon a walking stick!
Tho great masses of sufferers from
eye-strain and other curable optic dis
orders have been misled by those who
were making fortunes out of eye
glasses and spectacles.
