A Few Words to the Public.

we make no boasts of our skill as
opticlans or occulists but we do claim
10 De OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES which means
several grades higher tLan either of
the former in the science of .glassfitt-
Ing Neither do we boast of our
diplomas, although we have them, and
they are from the only Incorporated
ophthalmic college on earth. nhis
means that the school issuing them is
legitimate and has Character and ia
doing business under the laws of a state
which is more than can be truly said
OF any other in the land.
Diplomas, however, amount to little
when all the so called college requires
OF the applicant is the necessary fee
which ranges from So 90 to $40. 90, Any
one having the price can obtain one
with stay at home privileges. And
those who practice under such are
little short of humbugs.
We obtained ours by actual hard
work while in school re enforced by
years of diligent study prior to enter
ing same, but in any case they are not
worth the paper they are written on
without brains and constant study
afterward. We claim to have the
brains. as our past record will show.
and we are constant students of our
business We are Specialists in our
Line, having no other trade or pro.
fesslon with which to sandwich in the
spectacle business as does the optician
(?) and oculist (?) We do now about
$4,000. worth of optical work yearly.
One who makes an absolute speciality
OF one particular business ought GER
tainly to become more proficient than
one who is Jack at all trades".
Years of travel have brought us incon-
tact with the very hardest and most
difficult cases in the country, and we
are known all over the state of Iowa.

Minneapolis to ST. Louis, and from
Chicago to Denver, after they had
failed to get satisfaction at home, and
we have never failed in single case.

mony of many of these patients from,

invite you to call on us and consult US;

scope and with it can tell you whether
you use tobacco or spirits to excess,
whether you have symptoms of brights
disease or diabetes, female weakness
etc.. in fact many diseases net other
wise readily diagnosed and the true
cause ascertained. Here is where the
optician is incompetent as his school
does not teach him the use of the little
instrument with big name con-
sequently he cannot diagnose your di-
sease and thereby place you on your
guard for serious consequences but,
fits all glasses the same. We measure
your nerve-force and can tell YOU ex-
actly how much is being exhausted
daily and can tell your age approx
mately. Few opticians ever heard of
SUCH proposition and never will till
they take specialists course where
diplomas are not sold for a mere song.

West Side, la. April2 Otto Kruse's
3.year-old boy met with a serious acct
dent Wednesday. He was watching
some men carrying potatoes out of the

close to the cellar way and fell in.
When they picked him up the men

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
UNUSUALLY GOOD WEEK FOR
SUMNER MARKET.
Prices of Poultry Higher Than They
Should Be-Receipts OF Cereals
Fall Below Expectations.

In the week ended Aug trade conditions were
very satisfactory for a summer market Quota
tons as a rule were firmly held. Especially Is
this true of staple groceries. which are moving
freely Flour is another article which continues
steady and strong in tone. though occasionally
concession is made to effect a good sale Fruits
and produce were in good supply and went
through the week with but slight changes. Can
taIoupes and matermelons are abundant and
prices carry an easy tone. Choice apples are
good Sellers as are peaches. Georgia peaches
and pears of good quality have been on the mar
ket and met with ready sale. California fruit Is
season. Poultry continues firm at prices quoted
Chickens are in good demand with supply lin
ited but the dealers looking for increased re-
ceipts during the coming week, as present hlgn
This probably viii result in lower quotations
Butter is quiet and choice stock is firm at top
figures Cheese is steady and moves fairly we'll
Eggs remain at the former range. but the mar
Eet is a little slow, demand having been cur,
tailed, and lower prices the coming week need
not be a surprise. The dry goods houses had a
very quiet week, but 1t is expected that during
the present month retail merchants will begin
stocking UP with fall and winter goods. as indi-
cations for higher rather than lower prices
for the fall trade. Druggists enjoying an ex-
celent trade, their business during the past sea-
son having been unusually good and prices have
been well maintained. Iron and steel merchants
report trade excellent though not as large as
spending period Of last year. The outlook for q
big fall trade is promising. Travelling statesmen
who came in Saturday report stocks carried by
retail merchants considerably reduced Spring
are in shape to be liberal buyers during the fall
and winter months.

Statements Not Approved.

The train records show a continuance of
conditions to volume of traffic. such as
have prevailed for several weeks past-in
fact, for many months-it being limited TO
cars and power TO move them. Many new
cars and locomotives are arriving, but the
older equipment has been run continu-
ously the last two years that it is badly in
need of repairs. and this keeps the railroad
shops overrun with work, and more men
are employed and working more hours
than in any previous year. The outlook is
that like conditions will prevail for months
to come. and all lines are collecting their
stray cars to be able TO handle as prompt
ly as possible the prospective heavy fall
business. Unlike former years. so pros
porous are the various industries that the
