DEFECTIVE VISION.

The cause and Remedies scientifically
Handled by the Famous Optician,
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, M. 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, DIR. George Kirkpatrick, of
La Harpe, ILL.,, 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 a modification of the
same in any form, DIR. M. 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. 1t has been a luxury to
to me to have looked over his rare and
beautiful appliances for better Eight.
ing the windows of the SOUL" Prof.
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.

SHE LOOKED so INNOCENT.
How q Pretty Little Girl Fooled a
GrOceryman.

How Pretty Little Girl Fooled a
Groceryman.
A variation of the ''green goods game''
was played upon prominent grocery.
man yesterday about noon. A little
girl about - years of age came into
Spring-street grocery and ordered two
rolls OF butter, some cheese, some other
little articles and sack of -four. She
wore straw hat and an apparently
honest look, and, in matter of fact
way, told the groceryman that as her
mother wanted the cheese and butter
for dinner, she would just take those
along, and he could send the -four in
his delivery wagon, when all would be
paid for. The groceryman was
only too glad to accommodate
the little girl-she was SO innocent look
ing. He took the address she gave, and
after she tripped out with her arms full
of grceries, he loaded up the -four in the
wagon, made out the bill and sent the
driver to the number the innocent look
ing maid had given.
In due time the driver returned with
the flour and the bill. He reported
that the number which the little bunco
girl had given was blank, or rather,
that the place designated was vacant
lot.
"She was such little girl, and looked
to be so innocent" said the disap-
pointed groceryman, as he hurried the
-four back into his store.

KID HAS PROBABLY ESCAPED

A Fruitless Chase to the Mexican Border
After the Renegade.
General McCook was seated on a
lounge in the assistant adjutant gener-
ais Office yesterday, in conversation
with the latter officer, as the HERALD
reporter entered the room and asked
what was the latest intelligence from
the scouting parties in search of Kid,
the renegade.
"Well," said the general, "my fears
are for the worst in this matter. They
say that the devil takes care Of his own,
and this seems to be case in point.
On the 9th ult. Lieutenant Shuttle
worth sent me a telegram through the
commander at Fort Grant that he was
within six hours ride of Kid, and had a
fair chance of catching the red rascal.
With the number OF scouting parties in
the field, % in all, it did look as though
escape were impossible. Shuttleworth
was very confident, and as he is one of
the most indefatigable young officers in
the service. | had great hopes that he
would catch Kid. But on the night of
the 28th there came heavy rain which
lasted for several hours and obliterated
all trace of the fugitive's movements"
"And SO you think he has got across
the border and is now on Mexican soil ?"
asked the reporter.
Eyes; it looks very much that way,
just now," replied the general. II
should like very we'll to hear of his
being shot. becaa ase he has made more
trouble for the troops than all the rest
of the Indians put together. At the

Canadian Bovines Promptly Slaughtered
on Landing in Scotland.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The board OF agri-
culture ordered that all the cattle landed
at Dundee from Canada by the steamers
Hurona and Monkseaton be slaughtered,
owing to the discovery of pleuro-pneu-
monia among them. The killing OF the
animals began Friday. Altogether the
steamers landed 1900 head. The ami
mails have been found on a large num-
Der of farms in Forfarshire,. Perthshire,
Fifeshire and Montrose. They were all
suspected of being infected. hence the
order for the slaughter. Scotch veterin-
ary surgeons declare the disease is not
pleuro-pneumonia, but non-contagious
affection, the symptoms of which are
similar to pleuro-pneumonia. They
blame the government for acting hastily
in the matter. The government has
issued orders that incoming Canadian
cattle be subjected to the sharpest
scrutiny.

THE SALT LAKE ROAD.
Mr. James Campbell at Work on I
Euterprfso.

Mr. James Campbell at Work on the
Enterprise.
Mr.. James Campbell is still working
hard trying to organize company to
build road to Salt Lake City. In an
interview yesterday he said:
"The construction of this line will
bring about connection with two over
land railroads, the Union Pacific and
the Denver and Rio Grande Western, at
or near Milford, Utah, giving the
through traffic of these two lines over
one road to Los Angeles. This, with
the local traffic already in sight, will
necessitate the running of at least six
trains daily each way. Such a magnifi-
cent investment as this is seldom
found; it is one that will commend
itself to the money markets of the world
and will bear the strictest investiga-
ton.
1.-The construction of this road will
bring about changes in the history oi
California that have never yet been
thought of by any of its most enthusi-
astic admirers. No one material fact
will do 80 much for its development as
will the building of this road.
"After the organization is completed
and put in operation, l have the utmost
confidence in obtaining the entire cap
ital to complete the road within sixteen
months. The only difficulty that 1 see
in the whole transaction is raising the
first subscription, which is now fairly
under way, to create the corporation.
This should not be so, but should be ar
ranged in one day, and thus commence
work that will give employment to
every idle team in Los Angeles county,
and which will result in distributing
millions of dollars among the people.
"What now seems a desert through
California and Nevada will prove differ
ent, as it will pour forth lead and silver
ores for our smelters, and will also send
us salt, borax, soda, nitrates, coal and
iron. all in inexhaustible quantities
and in return the traffic will be large in
all kinds of provisions and fruits and
lumber.
"New interests would be started not
only in Southern California, but all along
the line work would be ready for all and
prosperity would be established. Los
Angeles people should not wait any
longer, but should 60 right to work and
build the road"

Bank Failure at Auburn.

AUBURN, Cal, Nov. 1.-The Hollen'
beck bank failure of yesterday was more
disastrous than anticipated. No official
account of the banks standing has yet
been given out, but it is estimated that
the liabilities are $64 900; assets, not
more than $4,000. Among the heaviest
losers are w. G. Conroy, sheriff, $1,000
J. M. Jacobs, county treasurer, $4,000 ;
the city of Auburn, $1,000, besides nearly
every society in Auburn, and hundreds
of depositors in amounts less than $500.
No assignment or attachment has been
made. No official reason is yet given
for the failure. Mr.. Hollenbeck was re-

A FINANCIAL SENSATION.
Disastrous Collapse of a Great London

Disastrous Collapse of Great London
Building Society.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE collapse OF the
Liberator Building society, simultane-
ously with the downfall of the London
and General Bank, is likely to develop
into very big financial sensation. The
figures just presented to a meeting OF
shareholders and creditors of the Liber-
ator society are worse than even the
most pessimistic had anticipated. The
receiver said the society owed the share
holders and creditors 93,3l3,OOO. while
the reserve fund was only e9O ,0OO, and
little better than book account at that.
The mortgages amounted to e3, 432 600,
and were at first supposed to be good
assets, but an investigation has shown
that they are probably of no value. AS
G3, ,1SS, ,2S6 has been lent to three COM
panies, there are virtually no free assets,
there being only e50,O00 IN sight. The
bulk OF the money has been lent on
nothing better than third liens.
