DEFECTIVE VISION.

The cause and Remedies scientifically
Handled by the Famous Opucian,
Professor Arnold.
The loss Of sight is the worst afflc-
ton from which humanity suffers.
Even the impairment of human vision
is intolerable, and perpetual blindness
is curse. As soon as the first symp-
toms Of failing eyesight appear it IS
reasonable that the distressed should
seek relief from those who are COM
petent to offer it. What many aver
must be believed. Hundreds testify
to the efficacy of the treatment they
have received from the distinguished
optician, NJ. Arnold. He promises
little and accomplishes wonders. He
processes little and yet has marvellous
skill. His acknowledged skill and
judgment enables him to detect the
fault and apply just the glass color and
lens which will supply the deficiency.
His skill and spectacles are vouched
for by thousands. The late celebrated
physician, DR.. George kirkpatrick, of
La Harpe, H., wrote this beautiful
tribute to the doctors skill in May,
1884: 81 take especial pleasure in
recommending to my friends who need
further light or modification of the
same IN any form, DR.. NJ. Arnold, who
has convinced me that progress in the
scientific and artistic department to
which he has enthusiastically devoted
himself, has developed much more
than has been dreamed of in my
philosophy. It has been a luxury to
to me to have looked over his rare and
beautiful appliances for better Eight.

Arnold has established his Office in the
Mankato House block, Mankato, MINI,
where he has roomy apartments well
adapted to his purpose of attending
to the wants of his numerous patients.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.

The rapid advancement of the west in
the past twenty-five years is nowhere
better illustrated than in the history OF
Nebraska which on March | celebrated its
twenty fifth anniversary as a state. Ne
braska was admitted into the Union in
March 1867, while the Union Pacific
railway was being pushed westward
through the state. Four months later
the site of Cheyenne was selected and
over a year later Cheyenne was organized
as a territory.
In 1860 the population of Nebraska
was about $1,000. or one-ffth of the
present population of Omaha alone.
twenty-five years ago. says the Bee,
Nebraska had less than $50 miles of rail
road in full operation; today her railroad
mileage is 6.400. This is within 900
miles as large a mileage as the total rail
way mileage OF all the New England
states. Only seven Of the forty-four
states of the Union excel Nebraska in
point of railway mileage"
Wyoming extends hearty congratula-
tions to its neiRhbor on the east and only
hopes that its own record for the first
twenty-five years as a state will equa. that

WASHINGTON, March I'm the house
today Representative Hemphill proposed
an amendment reducing the Sl1 200 or
sI2.OO 0 salary which the recorder of
deeds of the District of Columbia reserves
in the way OF fees, to a fixed salary OF
SO, GOO per annum. All fees are to be
turned into the public treasury after the
necessary deductions for clerk hire. This
provoked considerable debate, but was
finally adopted. The present register of
deeds is ex- United States Senator Bruce
OF Mississippi. The house adjourned
with the bill still unfinished. During the
day Sayers OF Texas secured permission to
have printed in the record a table show
ing appropriations made for public build
ing now being erected; the amount of
money still on hand and the amount re-
quired to furnish them.

IN THE LEAD.

Close Competition; Enlarged Views;
Closer Relation Between Railway Officials
and the Public; Newspaper Comment;
Liberal Advertising.
All the above are the direct cause of
the luxurious facilities afforded to travel
ers at the present time.
The Wabash Line has kept itself IN the
front rank during the march of progress
and offers to travellers every luxury and
convenience which human ingenuity can
devise or the liberal expenditure of money
procure. Its passenger trains from
Kansas CITY and Council Bluffs to
St Louis, Chicago, Toledo, Detroit and
intermediate points; its through car lines
to New York, Boston. and other seaboard
and eastern points, Its magnificent track
and unsurpassed running time, leave
nothing to be desired.
Passengers are always safe when asked
to specify their route in naming the
