it will probably be your last chance to
have Prof Mayne Arnold provide you
with the best fit and glasses you ever
had in your life. The professor is
easily the best and most successful
optician in Iowa. This will be the
time to get that long looked for pair Of
glasses which will be a comfort to
the eyes and will last many years
longer than poor glasses. The Pro
lessor imports all his glasses from
London and Paris and has the finest
on earth, besides he fits them free
and sells them at a cheap price.
He never fails and that he is relia-
BILE is proven by two years Of faultless
eye work in Oskaloosa. While his
prices have been reasonable in the
past, he will make them much lower
till Oct. list.
Professor Mayne Arnold has fitted
dozens of those wealthy and conserv-
alive people who have formerly gone
to Chicago for their glasses. Many
who came back disappointed after
consulting Chicago's noted oculists,
have been given perfect relief by
Prof Arnold. Among thousands or
the finest families here who buy their
glasses of Prof. Arnold are the
McNeills, McCoys, Cannons, Gums,
Gibbs Barnes, Bakers, Shaws, La
ceys, Baldaufs, Spencers, Hoffmans,
Kalbachs, Sheppards, Washes, Nc
Quistons, Blanchards, Hubers, Gins,
Rosenbergers, Ellises, Dirrs, Roberts,
McCurdys, and Drs. Hunter, Hugg,
Hook, Ruan, Miller, &C. II you don't
believe Prof. Mayne Arnold is very
skillful, Just ask these people, or a
thousand others of the best and FORE
most people of Mahaska and adjoin-
ing counties. They will tell the truth
of how their eyes are benefited and
made strong.
Remember special cut prices till
October LIST. Mayne Arnold is the
only eye-sight specialist and optician
in Oskaloosa. Eyes examined free.

IOWA is THE LUcKIEsT STATE.
Fully Half of the Numbers Drawn on
Saturday Belonged to Residents
Of Hawkeye state--seIections
to Be Made Soon.

Chamberlain, S. D., Aug. Five
hundred names were drawn from the
lottery" box Saturday, showing how
many will be entitled to homes in the
Rosebud reservation according to the
rules laid down by the United States
government. Out of the number many
were Iowans. 1t has been remarked
that large percentage of the names
drawn from the magic box are resi-
dents of the Hawkeye state, and the
fact of their residence has done much
to inculcate just desire to hail from
the state of Iowa for the sake OF
"luck" alone.
The selections for the homes will
be made as fast as the persons apply
ing according to their numerical or
der appear on the scene. OF course
the first ones to have their names
drawn from the box will be allowed
to take their time in making a selec'
ton. Those following are apt to be
rushed through the formality in order
that the selection may not be delayed
longer than is absolutely necessary.

WHY FOAM IS WHITE.
No Difference What May be tn
Color of the Liquid.

No Difference What May be the
Color Of the Liquid.
The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to under
stand; but the fact is that foam is
always white, whatever may be the
color of the liquid itself. The froth
produced on a bottle of the blacklist
ink is white, and would be perfectly
so were it not tinged to certain ex-
tent by PARTICLES of the liquid which
the bubbles hold in mechanical sus-
pension.
AS to the cause of this whiteness,
1t is sufficient to say that it is due to
the large number of rejecting sur
faces formed by the foam, for it is
these surfaces, which, by rejecting
the light, produce upon our eyes the
Impression of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their colors to the rays of light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies
which reflect all the light they re-
ceive, without absorbing any. appear
perfectly white, we shall be prepared
to understand how the multitude of re-
fecting surfaces formed by the foam,
and which do not absorb any light,
must: necessarily ): give the froth =
white appearance, 1t is for the same
reason: that any very fine powder ap-
pears white, even the blacklist marble,
when ground to dust, losing every
trace of its original color

MOST FAMOUS OF: LIGHTS.

Beacon at Eddystone Has Saved Thou.
sands from Watery Grave.
No lighthouse the world over has
as wide fame among mariners as that
which stands fourteen miles off the
coast of Lands End. It is perhaps
the most celebrated in the world. 1t
has often been used as an illustration
by poets and preachers, for no other
lighthouse is in such a lonesome or
dangerous place, and none costs so
much money and trouble. There are
three keepers who live there with
their families, and two of them are
always on duty, while the third is on
the main coast enjoying a vacation.
They relieve each other each month,
so that none of the keepers remains
on duty more than two months at 4
time. This change and rest is said to
be absolutely necessary to preserve
the nerves Of the keepers. The light.
house, is ,s135 feet high, was erected
in 1883 at a cost OF $400. 900, and rises
from submerged rock. = The first
lighthouse was erected on this rock as
long ago as 1897, but was washed
away six years after and was not re.
placed for long time. The second
was burned down in Its, the third
stood from 1867 to 1882, and was fam.
GUS in history.
