Isn't it about time to throw away
that old pair of rusty frame, poor
glass spectacles? You know they
were never suited to your eyes, and
you have been threatening to change
them for better ones for long time.
You will never find as good
a time as the present. Why?
Prof. Arnold is at the Mankato House,
where he has been for SIX weeks.
Isn't that long time? Yes, good
while IN one town where he does
nothing but fit glasses to sthe eyes.
Why does he remain so long? Well,
the fact IS his business increases the
longer he stays here. He has great
skill together with long experience,
and thousands of dollars worth OF fine
and ingenious appliances to test eyes,
besides he knows how to use them.
Many of them were invented and
made by himself How came he to
adopt optics as a profession? HIS

What They are Sent for.

Waseca Radical: The democrats in
congress find themselves in bad shape
over the rulings" of the speaker.
The fact is, no party can or should
stand, only on the ground that MEM
bers present shall vote or be counted
as present at least. 1t is absurd to
say a member is mot present" simply
because he does not vote" Members
are sent there to vote, and they
should do so or vacate the seat for
some man that will.

CITY FINANCES.

The annual report Of the city re-
corder. published in Mondays FREE
Press, should be looked over by every
tax payer. The report shows that on
April 1st but $2S.1S was ia the city
treasury, but at that time the first
spring disbursement had not been re-
ceived from the county treasurer.
The principal items among the re-
ceiptS, as compared with last year are
as follows:
1891 1892
Water collections, 3,141.76 S 1881. 20
Licenses, 14,S6l00 18,4l9.95

Special collections, 3,657.09 4,S55.2 %
County treasury, 3S,972.45 30, 3S3.57
Borrowed, IL 10000 1880. 90

1t will be noticed that during the
year just closed the receipts haye
been somewhat less than during the
previous year, and the expendi lures a
little more.
1t is noticeable fact that, not
withstanding the direful predictions
of our Front street contemporary, the
city's printing bill is less with the
FREE PRESS as the official printer,
than it was when the ReUie,U held that
position, while a great deal of time
has been saved in the publication of
notices.

Concert Company was held AT the Casino last night,
with apparently as little approach as usual TO any
final result The one thing which seems certain "
that some change IN the affairs Of the theatre must
be made soon. II may be a return To the old comic
opera plan IL may be an attempt to Improve the
present class OF entertainment, or II may be some
thing different from any OF the plans which have
