CHAPMAN'S INVENTION,
Inspected by Opticians at Detroit, Mich, and
Pronounced Good,

J. r.. Chapman returned Friday
night from his visit to Detroit, Mich.
where he attended the annual meet
ing of the American Association OF
Opticians, and exhibited before that
body his new Dark Room invention,
designed for the use of opticians in
correcting the errors of refractiOn.
The invention excited great interest
among the members present, being an
entirely new thing upon the market.
1t was thoroughly tested by the most
expert operators present with the
most satisfactory results, and received
many complimentary notices. Mr..
Chapman secured contract with the
Johnson Optical Co. of Detroit, one of
the leading optical houses of the
United States, to place the invention
upon the market, and an attempt will
be made to have the Dark Room manu-
featured here, if Mr.. Chapman can get
the work done at satisfactory price.
The apparatus completed will sell for
$50.
The Dark Room is constructed as
follows: 1t consists of two apart
mentS connected by a tunnel - feet
long and Il inches in diameter, the
first apartment being about feet
square where the patient is seated.
The apartment at the other end of
the tunnel being about feet square
and containing Illuminated charts.
The whole is SO arranged with dia-
phrams that no light returns to the
patient: showing the cards perfectly
and distinctly Illuminated at 20 feet
distant. There is also Jogging
system in connection by which per-
feet system of relaxation of the mus
cleS can be obtained without the use
of mydriaticS.

Railroad News.

The only new matter that has
developed the past week in relation to
the coming of the Northwestern road
seems to be the statement of J. l..
Pennitill, who is in charge of the sur
veying crews Of that company, that
the survey from Princeton to Almond
has been accepted by the company as
the final route. Mr.. Pennitill also
tells uSand others that it is practically
a settled fact that from Almond the
road will run directly to Grand Rapids.
The surveyors are now running the
line from Almond to this city and
their operations along this new line
will be watched with interest by the
people in the country southeast of us
as well as by Grand Rapids people.

VISITING MERCHANTS.
Spend Two Hours in Grand Rapids and
Nekoosa Wednesday.

At l1:30 o'clock yesterday a special
train consisting of four coaches and a
baggage car, arrived in the city over
the NJ. & S. E. road from MarShfield.
1t contained about so of the leading
merchants and jObbers of Milwaukee.
The members of the party, both
old and young, were a prosperous
looking, handsome body of men. They
had just come from a reception at
MarShtield and besides their badges,
each was decorated with a big red rose
on the lapel of their coats which they
generally took pleasure in stating was
the gift Of six beautiful and charming
young ladies of that city, viz, Misses
Minnie Maloney. Hattie Pickett, Vera
Nollmer, Nerna May, Josie Sheriff
and FlOy Beattie.
One of the gentlemen volunteered
the statement that they were per-
fectly delighted with their trip and
that the hospitality Of the people in
the cities they had visited in the Wis
consin Valley and elsewhere on their
trip was a perfect revelation to them
and that they go home with feelings
of much greater regard for the people
of these towns than they had when
they started out. The Sentinel'S
special correspondent gives the fol-
lowing account of their visit to Grand
Rapids and NekOOsa.
While lunch was being served the
train arrived at Grand Rapids and
stopped long enough to permit the
Reception committee, consisting of
Mayor B. r. Goggins, John Parrish.
\. Johnson, E. 2. Arpin, William
Scott, T. A. Taylor and l.. NJ. Nash,
to board the train.
A very handsome souvenir bOOkle t
issued to the Merchants and Manu-
faCturerS' association of Milwaukee
by the business men of Grand Rapids
was distributed on the train as it was
being run to NekOOSa, the site of the
NekOOSa Paper and Pulp company,
where stop of fifteen minutes was
made for the inspection of the plant.
This is said to be the largest paper
plant in Wisconsin. 1t will as soon as
the fourth machine is placed in
position in few days have capacity
for turning out eighty tons of print
and MANILA papers day. t. E. Nash
is the president of the company and
l.. M. Alexander of Milwaukee, the
secretary and treasurer.
In returning to Grand Rapids the
visitors were taken about the city in
carriages, the merchants visited their
customers and were received with out
stretched hands. The manufacturers
and others were taken all over the
city and had many points of interest
called to their attention. The bust
ness men are prosperous, and the
times are not only good with them
but the prospects for the future are
most tlattering.
