1t seems strange that some people
are willing to submit their eyesight,
the greatest blessing God has given
to man, to inexperienced persons, all
lowing them to At glasses, who often
know less about the scientific princi-
pies Of refraction than they do them
selves. The thing to do is to consult
a reliable specialist in this particular
line. DR.. I. H. Fry is physician and a
resident of Marshalltown for eighteen
years. He is also a post graduate of
the only exclusive eye ear nose, and
throat college in the United States,
therefore he is a genuine opthalmol-
og1st and having made a speciality of
these diseases for many years, he
thoroughly understands the fitting Of
glasses scientifically and never fails to
give satisfaction. He certainly is a
reliable specialist in his line.

Clinton. March 19.--The magnificent
steamer built here two years ago last
summer by religious sect called the
Christian Brethren. of which L. y.
Nichols, of Minneapolis, was the lead
er, has been sold at Chattanooga, ana
will no longer be. known as the mis-
sionary boat of this strange religious
society. The boat was built here at
cost OF about $4,000. 1t was named
the Megiddo. When it left Clinton
there we're about seventy-five on board
who lived on the steamer. on which
were fitted up workshops where men
labored to support those on board. The
boat was fitted up to accommodate 200
persons and this number was living on
the Megiddo when she was sold, sew
eral children having been born on the
boat, while many recruits were brought
ir by the missionary work.
The boat was built for the purpose
OF navigating the Mississippi river and
its tributaries. In the summer the
boat was in the north, while the VIM
tiers were spent in the south. The boat
stopped for several days at the large
cities and towns and meetings were
held in a great tent.
Those on the boat have stated that
there was no sickness on hoard and
they attributed their good health to
the fact that they did not use intoxi
eating drinks. tobacco. coffee or pork,
but subsisted largely on vegetables,
fruits and nuts.
After two years spent on the Missis-
sippisand its tributaries Captain Mich
Gle came to the realization that it was
impossible to reach the people and It
was decided to dispose of the boat. The
craft disposed Of the Christian band
went to Rochester. N. T., where four
acres OF land were purchased and a
commodious building was erected in
which the members Of the band were
quartered. Three houseboafs are be-
Ing built, which will ply the canals and
rivers Of New York state. The boats
VIII be tied up at the bank and the
missionaries will preach from plat
form erected on the boat.
