Scientific Examination of Eyes Free.
Arnold's improved Diamond spe

4 4
Arnold's improved Diamond Spec
tacles and Eye Glasses patented in
England 1886. The well known Ar
mold Optical Co., of London, has APP
pointed DIR. Mayne Arnold, of Oska-
loosa, as agent for their celebrated
Diamond Spectacles and Eye Glasses,
and also for their Diamond Nom
Changeable Spectacles and Eye
Glasses. These glasses are the great
est invention ever made in spectacles.
BY an improved construction of the
lens person purchasing pair Of
these Interchangeable glasses never
has to change these glasses from the
eyes. Every pair purchased is guar
anteed so that If they ever leave the
eyes (no matter how rusted or
scratched the lenses are), DIR. Mayne
Arnold will furnish the party with a
new pair of glasses free.of charge.
DIR. Wayne Arnold has full assert
ment and invites all who wish to sat
isfy themselves OF the great superior
ity Of these glasses over any and all
others now in use to call and examine
the same at any time at the store of
DR.. Wayne Arnold, who is the only ex-
elusive scientific optician and eye
sight specialist in oskaloosa.
To prove the wonderful and lasting
qualities of the Diamond Nom Change
able Glasses, DIR. Arnold appends a
letter from six old and well known
citizens of Rushville, H., who have
worn the Professors glasses thirty
years without change Rushville is a
flourishing city, the county seat of
Schuyler county, Illinois, situated on
the c., B. & @. r. R., and the signers
of the following are among Rushville's
prominent people:
"Rushville, III. We, the undersign-
ed residents of Rushville, H., having
tried many different kinds of glasses
take pleasure in stating that Prof.
Mayne Arnold supplied us with
glasses interchangeable more than
thirty years ago. Also that they have
given us excellent satisfaction ever
since without change, and we believe
no other kind is as good. 1t is our
opinion that for clearness of vision,
sharp delineation of objects, painless
and comfortable sight, together with
their lasting properties, Professor Ar.
nold's glasses excel all others.-W. G.
Cason, Chief of Police, Mrs. w. G.
Cason, H. /. Leach, Mrs. DR.. I. N.
Speed, Mrs. Emily Jackson, Mrs. Mary
Mccall" (All of Rushville, ND
Few residents of Oskaloosa are
more widely or favorably known than
Tracy Boal, who for about nine years
was junior partner in the popular
Bertsch-Boal Drug Co., southeast cor
ner of square. Prof Mayne Arnold
had the pleasure of adapting his Dia-
mond interchangeable Glasses to the
eyes of J. F. Boal, M. D., more than
forty years ago. DR.. Boal was sue
cessful physician and grandfather of
Tracy Boal, of Oskaloosa. DR.. Boal
wore the glasses without change for
far and near, up to the time Of his
death, a period of thirty-five years.
Tracy Boal, Esq, will verify the fore
going facts personally. He lives on
East Second avenue.

New System Delayed work.

The county treasurer's office is
having things easier as the taxPaying
rush is over. A new system was put
into effect this year which compels a
balancing Of books every night instead
Of once week or month and adds
greatly to the treasurer's WORK. Par
cells Of land are also much smaller
than formerly. making much more
work in making out receipts. But
while Treasurer Schneider and Deputy
P. ". Morse have had added burdens
they have done the work as promptly
as possible and have received many
compliments on their accomplishing
90 much with no unnecessary delay.
