Whenever clear vision at a proper distance becomes difficult, it is proper to seek the aid of glasses. They become to the overburdened muscle of the eye as much of a necessity as food to the empty stomach, or a cane or crntch to him who has not the full power of his legs. There is no advantage in delaying their use.— Gall on or mail a postal card to CHAS.

Martin T. Krc-uger, of Laporte, was elected chairman, Wm. Darroch, of Newton, Secretary, and the Democratic editers present assistant secretaries. The names of Horace JE, James, Lake; Mr. Kern, of Porter; McCabe, of Warren; Parsons, of White, and Kr eager of Laporte, were jpresented for nomination’ and on tenth ballot Mr. Kreuger

was declared the nomonee amid outbursts of enthusiasm. We copy the followng concnrnwig the nominee from “Biographical Sketches of Members the 1 diana State Government, 1885-

MARTIN T. KREUGER, Representative from Laporte, Was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, Nov. 10, D 53 His parents immigrated to America in 1864, ami settled in Michigan Citv, Laporte county, where they still reside. bringing with them their nine children. The parents being very poor and the family large, every child was obliged to work as soon asjable, and attend shool only when no work could be obtained. Martin left home to work for farmers in Laporte county when thirteen years of age, doing chores for his board and going to school during the winter months when he could get no work for pay. He afterwards worked in machine shops and on railroads in Michigan Gity until 1872, when he went to Ill! nois and resumed farming, working for fanners in Lasalle, Lee and Bureau counties; returning to Michigan City in the fall of 1877, when he engaged in the real estate and insurance business there, in which he is still engaged. Ho was elected City Clerk of Michigan City in 1879, on the Democratic ticket, over the incumbent of that offia , who was supported by the Republicans and bolting Democrats, by a majority of 236—a1l the other candidates on his ticket being beaten. He was re-elected in 1881 without opposition, and again elected in 1883 th’s time d-fe ting his fusion opponent by a majority of 781, th> largest majority ever given in Michigan City to any candidate for any office, again be mg -.he only candidate on the straight Democratic ticket who was elected. He was*for a time editor and proprie’or of theFreie Presse, a German paper pu lished in that city, but has since merged with another papei published in the county. He was elected as a Representative from Laporte county at the last election, in which capacity he has distinguished himself as being a young man of well marked ability; vhile not an eloquent debater, one of the wittiest

sharp shooters of the General Assembly of 1885. Upon all questions he votes with his conscience for the best interests of his con. stituency. He is Chairman of the Committee on Cities and Towns, and a useful member of several other committees. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, including Scottish rite; also of the 1. O. O. F., and is an officer of the Supreme Temple of the Patriarchal Circle, a military organization of Odd Fellows. Residence and postoffice, Michigan City, Indiana.

The Hon. H. H. Walker, of Michigan City, tells the following story in connection uith Kreuger’s first race for the Clerkship: “Kreuger was opposed by the solid Republic an vote, and by a large number of leading Democrats, who objected to him because of hia vouthand lack of education. It was alleged by his enemiesthathe was very illiterate, and apelled cow with a “k.” So industriously has this story been circulated,, that it threatened to force him out of the race, and it became apparent that bis chances for election were rapidly decreasing. At this critical period he was called to address a meeting of German citizens. He had scarcely began speak ng when some one mquiied in a loud voice ‘How do you spell cow?’ ‘Fellow citizens,’ he replied, ‘lam charged with several grave crimes; one is that 1 am young, a fault 1 promise to mend if you will give me time another is, that I have spelled cow with a k; this lam compelled to acknowledge is true. But 1 was born, and, until eleven years old, 1 lived in a country where preachers, professors, teachers, and scholars all, without exception, used a k in spelling cow: and I don’t believe there is an honest, intelligent countryman of mine in this house tonight who is ashamed of his country, ashamed of the language his mother taught him, and ashamed to spell cow as his father, his teacher spelled it, at I spell it, with a k; if there is, 1 want to ask him how he does spell it?’ There was a wild cheer from the crowd; the inquisitive gentleman had left the cow story now, because of the weapon of the other side, and has done valiant service in every campaign for Kreuger ever since."
