Peddling Oculists and Opticians.

One of the most frequent things
related to Prof. Arnold is the
story told him by his callers of
oculists and opticians calling on
them with cheap, common specta-
cles and making false pretense
of travelling that way to see the
country, or in search of health,
or for advertising or introducing
their goods, etc., etc. Put them
down as frauds and swindlers.
Genuine opticians do not peddle
from house to house and such, OF
similar pretensions, are simply
schemes to get money from credu-
lous and unwary people. Prof.
Arnold at Mankato House Block

Sensational Developments in Connec
ton with the Mead Murder Case
at Waupaca, Wis.

ST. JAMES, Mimi, March 17.-Miss
Minnie Stapp, young lady of ire
proachable character and recognized
responsibility, at this writing hes pros
trated and in q critical condition as the
result of an accomplished outrage per-
petrated Wednesday night.
Miss Stapp is employed as teacher
in one of the outlying schools of this
district. Wednesday night, after leav-
ing her school, she stopped at the house
of a friend for supper, leaving for home
about $50. just before the start a
young man named J. F. G. Behr called
at the house, remaining there until
after Miss Stapp had been gone some
fifteen minutes. When halfway home
the young lady was overtaken and at
tackled by a man, and despite her
struggles and cries for help the fend
accomplished his purpose, leaving his
victim exhausted and unconscious.
Upon gaining strength she pro-
ceedad to the nearest house
and gave the alarm, and search was at
once made for the culprit. At noon an
officer arrivedsin the city with Behr,
the suspected party. He was taken, in
company with three or four other men,
before the lady, who without a mo-
ments hesitation branded him as the
guilty person.
At preliminary examination he
waived examination and was committed
to the Mankato Jail for safe keeping
until the next term of court. Excite
ment is at fever heat and during the
day threats of violence have been out
spoken and numerous, but the cooler
heads are urging all to abide the course

PROF. M. ARNOLD, SIR: Abou,
three years ago, while engaged in
teaching, reading much at night
had weakened my eyes SO that
had very serious apprehensions in
regard to my future sight. My
vision grew worse and worse and
my eyes continually weaker.
About that time / heard of you at
Cherokee and determined to con-
suit you. You at once told me
that my defect was astigmatism
and the only help was suitable
glasses, and that without them my
sight would steadily diminish.
The glasses that you ground spec
tally for my use improved them
so rapidly that in two months
they were entirely recovered and
strong as ever. / am now able to
lay my glasses aside and have no
trouble either by day OF lamp
light. | have lived in Usage a
year and half and will be pleas
ed to answer any questions.

Gordon's attorney, ". G. Williams, of

answer, pleading justification and as
serting that Lea was an accessory to

Residents of interior towns like
Red Wing seldom have the OPP
portunity of securing the services
OF skilled and experienced Opt
clans. This we have had and the
opportunity afforded has not been
lost. In fact, Judging by the
enormous number calling on Prof.
Arnold at the St. James, the citi-
zens of Red Wing and vicinity
are intelligent people. We say
this because it is an axiom that it
requires brains to appreciate good
eyesight, and certainly the class
as rule calling on Prof. Arnold
justifies that theory.
The Prof. remain in Mankato

Everyone will readily appreciate the
value of consulting a scientific expert
who has devoted his life to the study
and practice of peculiar science. To
be suited with glasses which remedy
the defects of vision and enables a
person to see well who saw bat .indis-
tinctly before is a blessing. Then it is
an exceedingly comfortable reflection
that your case has been carefully con-
sidered by an optician who brings to
his aid great experience and eminent
scientific knowledge and skill. He
has that devotion to his profession
which prompts him to seek for and
avail himself of all improvements which
the progress of scientific discovery has
brought to light. hUs prepared he is
able to meet and overcome difficulties
in the restoration of vision by the use
of means which few, if any, IN his
profession can command. 10

PROF. ARNOLD, DEAR SIR:
After using the glasses you specially
corrected my vision with and carefully
testing them several weeks, l take great
pleasure in stating my opinion of their
superiority. There has been life
long necessity for glasses of enormous
power to correct my sight and enable
me to see and even then one eye was
so poor that I could not read ordinary
print with it, the best eye being closed.
You have not only improved my best
eye, so as to give normal or standard
vision; but have also made the other
equally good, SO that now l have, in
stead of one poor eye and one practic-
ally useless, two good eyes and see
equally well with both. l can but
wish you Ike success with others.
l am sincerely,
GEO. r. MAY,
2 Mayor of Charles City, Iowa.

Press Notice.

Prof. Arnold, who is at the
Raymond House, continues TO do
an enormous business. 1t affords
the Times pleasure to speak a
good word for the professor, for
during his stay in the city he has
shown himself to be gentleman
in every sense of the word, and
conducts his business on a true
prineipal-That of dealing honest
ly with all and charging moderate
prices for his goods. He is a
skilled optician and fully under
stands his business, and we know
of several persons who went to
him with the idea that they need
ed glasses, but the professor posi-
lively refused to fit them for the
reason that they did not need
them. He has only to look at an
eye to tell what ails it, and if you
need glasses to fit them on. This
is his first visit to Iowa, and as
he intends travelling over the west
ern country, we take pleasure in
heartily commencing him to the
press and people in general. The
professor stays no longer than
this week at the Raymond.

Prof. Arnold has made many
friends since he came to the city
both socially and professionally.
The opportunity he has afforded
those whose eyes for any cause or
In any way needed attention has
been a rare one and has been
taken advantage of by the very
best people OF this city and sec
ton. He has proved to these his
remarkable knowledge as an Opt
clan in the broadest sense and
given relief where others have
failed. He frankly tells those
whom he cannot help and what
eyer he says may, be depended
upon. Those to whom this item
is of interest will do well to cal
npon him at once; this week i

We, the undersigned citizens of
Waverly, Iowa, testify with pleasure to
theskill of Prof. Arnold in correcting the
mostcomplicated and dificultrefractive
errors. We are fully convinced he is
entire master of his profession. All
whose names are here appended have
witnessed the Professors skill and also
worn his scientific glasses long enough
to be assured of their superiority. We
especially recommend those having
optical defects very difficult of correc-
ton and which would require them to
consult oculists in distant cities at enor-
nous expense, to consult Prof. Arnold
and obtain certain relief. Prof. Arnold
has been here seven weeks and we
hear nothing but words of praise as
regards his work.
