MATTERS I.\ THIS FCI > EIIAI < COURT. lovm lylquor Vender In Snfoly Ex tradited from AcbrnsUn. There was a rush of buslneca about the United States marshal's ofllco yesterday. The most important case was that of another flcolng bootlegger of Iowa , who was trying to escapean Indictment that waa returned by a grand jury In that sUte. Tbe prlncner is Gcorgo Basancon. of Gri&tvold , la. Ho jumped his toad , and after a search of some weeks was finally located in Memphis , this state , where he was in charge of a pool room. Hozo arrested by Deputy Kclm c < nd brought back to this city. Th'e morning he wen arraigned before Judge Munger and papers authorizing bis removal to Iowa were Icsuci } . He uas taken across the river this afternoon. Deputy Barber yesterday arrived from Stockham with George Gray , who was charged with selling whisky without posting the government stamp. He was taken before Judge Munger , cud upona plea of guilty was fined $1 and costs. A local case was up before United States Commissioner Anderson , In which Edward Boyle of 618 South Eleventh street figured. Ho was charged with pseslng a > counterfeit silver dollar uvon Morris Kettclman , a grocer In hta neighborhood. He was held to tbo grand jury in the eum of (500 , and the bond was at once furnished. There seems to bo no doubt thtit Boyle was entirely unaware that the money was spurious when he paEoed' It , In the federal court a motion for a new trial has been filed In the OJBO of Edward R. Fogg , receiver of the Nebraska National bin It of Beatrice , against Sarah C , Knowles , The action was brought to recover a $1,600 abhessment oa eomo stock alleged to have been held by the defendant. The latter maintained that she did not own the stock , ani on this plea received a verdict. In the motion for a rehearing ! grounds of error are allege : } , acd It is also charged that the at torney for the defendant prejudiced the Jury by referring to his client as a "poor orphan girl" and by depleting vividly how jb © had been defrauded and deceived by I bank. Ed Allen , receiver for the Patterson block Bt Seventeenth and Farnarn streets , has filed ha ! ilnal report with the cleric ot the federal court , and has asked that he bo discharged and that the property be turned over to the purchaser at the foreclaniro sale.

Why do wo reed two ejes ? you would very likely an swer the query by sayiag , Why do wo need two arms or two ears ? But this Is not the proper answer to the question. Two eyes properly anated are absolutely necessary to obtain perfect sight. Perhaps you have heard It Bald that people having- but one eye oould see better than those with two. Possibly that would seem so to people who have observed the quickness with which a one-eyed person TierceJved the movement of objects. Awl the fact that they did not set'm to mlsa anything that their neighbors see , but , notwithstanding , the one-eyed per son has much to regret , although ho may ho the only ono conscious of his loss. For example , a one-eyed man cannot read ily hook his cane through a ring over his head , for his one eye does not tell him how far the ring Is nnd ho has to feel around for It until he flnda it. A man with two ojies does not have the slightest dldlculty. For it is a weJl established philosophical fact that for objects to be been as solid wo must have two eyes. WHY THE EYES SEE SOLID. "When wo look at the world with only one eye open the whole scene appears to be flat. Wo know , of course , that It Isn't flat , butte to the eje all things appear to bo about on the same surface. The views that reach the two eyes are slightly different , as any ono can pio\e to himself by opening and clos ing the eyes alternately. This Is what mokes us see the real world as solid , Now , if we want any picture to appear as solid -wo must BOO It from sJIghtly different points of view , each eye forming a separate and dis tinct image , which gives the round and full effect necessary to make objects stand out In bold relief. The loss of an oyq cannot bo compared/ / any way to the loss of an car or n limb , for In this case certain things can be accom plished as well with ono as with the two. But in the event ot the Irss of an eye , a person Is for all tlmo crippled. And the anxiety usually felt by a person blind In ono eye to 'preserve and care for this ono IB something pathetic. lAiAl still wo cannot wonder , fop it KCCOTH to bo the general senti ment that people would rather glvo up their lives than give tip their sight. Ami It cer tainly stands people in hand who are even conscious of the slightest difference in the sight of the two eyes to glvo this matter sjrlous cars'doratloi. IFo- slight defecti ne glected often become soilous before a per son Is really conscious of it , I wish to add hero a few word a In behalf of the children , for errors in their sight are BO much easier conccted in early life than when neglected until maturity Is reached.W.
