gan last Thursday morning. The front
wall of the Thompson building fell to
the sidewalk ihe other evening.
—The Farmers Institutes for this

—The daily puzzle now is as to wheth
er it is to be war or peace between Rus
sia and Japan; but a more practical
puzzle is that of arranging the numbers
1 to 25, in a five number square, so that
each column will add up 65—up and
down, across and diagonally.
—The Bessemer railroad has com
pleted the little job of raising their
track and patting in a new bridge over
the creek between the carworks and
town. In future floods there will be
no under-hanging girders to back water
over the western part of the town.
—Oar stores are jammed with every
thing that is useful and beautiful in the
Christmas line. Never was there a

sortment of goods on view from which
to select a Christmas present. There is
no need of going out of town to do your

—A Centre avenue Italian owns "I

opened the gate of his dam, on the
Spring Ran, east of town, and le out
the water, and when Johnny's men be
gan cutting ice each cake cut would

eight inches thick, whereas it should be
a foot.
—Cliff street from East Wayne street
to the Bessemer crossing on Center ave
nue is being filled with ground from
the basement of the new wholesale gro
eery honse at Centre and the P. & W.
irailroad. This is one of the best im
provements tho city fathers have made
in a long time, and it is a cheap one, as
*ll it costs the boroagh is the wages (f *
a man to help unload the wagons. Con
tractor George Selienclc delivers the
dirt fiee.
—Attorney General Carson has do-
clded that it is legal to fish with "tip-
Hps," "provided it be confined to one
lino with not more than three hooks."
This may be fairly construed as a hand
line, says Attorney General Carson, bat
a series of holes, through which hand
lines are us?d, connectod as they are by
the solid mass of ice, and multiplying
the hands of tbe owner in taking fish
f amounts in effect to a set device, which
is not permitted by existing acts.

EYE STRAIN
is a cause of headache and other ner
vous affections.
Eye strain is an enormously frequent,
fertile and unsuspecting source of ner
vous diseases and other phenomena ap
parently nonocnlar While eye strain
may often and does produce symptoms
directly referable to the eye irritation
and inflammation of the lids, etc., it is
indeed a noteworthy fact the patient
complains little or not at all of ocular
symptoms. In cases of great eye strain
the patient will heartily aver that the
eyes themselves are perfect and give no
trouble. This is an anomalous and in
teresting but a genuine fact. We do
not gues3, we correct all troubles which
come either direct or indirect from the
eye.
