DIR. Tanner, the Famous Eye and Ear
Doctor, at the RingO House.

Dr. Tanner, the Famous Eye and Ear
Doctor, at the Ringo House.
DR.. William Tanner, formerly of
st. Louis and Louisville, KY, but
now permanently located at Came
ron, Mo-, is at the Ringo House,
where he treats the eye and ear,
making a speciality of catarrh and
diseases of the throat. DIR. Tan
ner has operated on Dewitt Shoots,
of this city, who had one eye ter
ribly crossed. He made a perfect
cure of Shoots eye, making such a
change in his appearance that a
lady, to whom he had sold a sew
ing machine, although it had been
paid for, refused to take it, saying:
"I don't know you, sir f; I bought
the machine from a cross-eyed
mar |" DR.. Tanner comes to Mex
leo recommended by many news
papers of standing, and a host of
patients whom he has cured.
The Paola Times, of Kansas, re-
ferring to this physician, says:
"Dr. VIM. Tanner is at that peri.
cd of life when men have reached
their highest achievements both in
mental and physical work. That
period of life where much study
makes learning easy and where ex-
perience adds facility to skill. The
doctor has been a student and a
hard worker nearly all his life. 1t
is to this that his wonderful cures
and miraculous discoveries are due.

The eye, ear and catarrh specialist,
DR.. Tanner, late of st. Louis, who
has been sojourning in this city two
weeks operating upon the eye, ear
and catarrh, has shown himself to
be master in those specialties.
Not least among the notable cases
which he has operated on here was
Mrs. Jas. H. Alexander and little
Beulah, daughter of Mr.. Henry
Klenk, proprietor of the carriage
mandatory. They were both very
much cross-eyed and hypermetrop
ic. Their eyes were not made par
TALLY straight, 10 is too often the
case by inexperienced oculists and
physicians, but perfectly straight.
The Doctor performs any operation
upon the eye, ear, nose or throat
without the slightest pain n trou-
BILE and treats all cases of granulat'
ed lids that apply in time ten days
free of charge, it satisfaction is moi
given. He goes from here to Osa'

mend his services to the good citi.

pleased to have any who are troub
led with their eyes, ears, catarri
or throat trouble to call and con
suit him. He advertises to straigh
ten crossed eyes in one minute

LIBRARY DAY.
To the Teachers and Directors of Tn,
District Schools Of Audrain
County.

Supt. Wolfe has named Nov. 81
as Library Day. His object is te
put into every district school in
the State a small library of useful
and readable books. The impor-
lance of this scheme cannot be
overestimated. Nothing else can
do so much to elevate the standard
of the schools as the possession Of
a we'll selected library.
His plan is no t to depend upon
appropriation of the district funds,
but by exhibitions, lectures and
voluntary contributions to raise
small sums with which the nucleus
of a library may be purchased.
Certainly something can be done
in every district. Give an enter.
tainment of some kind to bring the
people together and then ask them
to help you.
The faculty of the State Univers.
ity have very generou sly offered 10
lecture, free of charge, at any
school house in Audrain county in
the interest of this movement.
These lectures are on popular sub
jects, some of them being beauti.
fully illustrated by magic Lantern
views. A small sum may be charged
for admission and funds sufficient
to make the beginnings of your Ii
brary be raised. This is q rare op
portunity and I trust that you will
take advantage of it.

Major Clark of Winnipeg, arrived TO-
day from England, as representatives
of a syndicate formed to carry out the
develonment of various industries con-
nected with the scheme OF forming
colonies of Scotch crofters on Jhe
Pacific coast. Some time ago sum
of eI5O.OOO was offered as loan by
the imperial treasury for the purpose
of settling crofter fishermen on the
shore of Vancouver island. rms
amount will only be sufficient to settle
the crofters and provide them with
the means of making a beginning In
their new homes. Further capital Is
required, and it is Thought thaG the
provinces, particularly British COlum-
bia, will come TO the aid OF the synul-
cate and help the colonists.
1t is suggested that these croiterS
could engage in deep sea fishing, whlcl
has hitherto been almost wholly neg
lected on the Pacific coast. Promoters
of the scheme consider that besides
the edible there's q, large held opel
for the extraction Of oils and for TN
manufacture Of fish guano. IN
timber industry might also be take

Returning never whence began their race,
They speed their ceaseless way with gleam-

As though God babe them win inhnity.

Through endless time and limitless expansei

What beauty lures them on through primal

Thomas a Becket's bones are to the fore
again, and this time it seems as if the mat
ter were really settled, says The Pail Mall
Budget, and that the saints remains might
henceforth be left in peace. 1t -ill be re-
membered that when the skull and bones
were discovered which gave rise to so much
controversy in the antiquarian world three
years ago, there were several objections
urged against their being those of the muir
dered archbishop, the principal one being
that the contemporary Pope spoke of 9
double sacrilege' having been committed
by Henry, in that he had not only mur
dered the saint, but had also burned his
sacred bones.
This argument has now been met by The
discovery in the British museum of som'
notes for sermon to be preached at st
Paurs Cross some time after the murder, II
which the preacher jots down that he wa
by the kings command to contradict tn
statement that Becket's bones had beel
burned. Then come some lines which ar
crossed through in the MS, but whicl
have now been deciphered and read as fol
lows; "They (the bones) are buried be
meath one of the central towers of Canter
bury cathedral" This should be col
elusive.
