the habit of canVaSSing towns and
country in the vicinity, falsely pre-
tending to be the Professor or one or
his men or to have the same kind Of
or else some that are equally good,
etc. SUCH CLAIMS ARE FALSE!
Some of these fellows are so plausl-
BILE and persistent and possess such
faculty of varying their stories, as
occasion requires, that people Of
shrewdness are often taken in. They
also not infrequently get outrageous
prices for the poorest window glass
spectacles framed with brass and
which they represent to be fine gold,
or something that will wear as good
as gold, etc, when the fact is that
even enc weeks use will utterly
spoil them. Now read and bear in
mind; skillful opticians do not peddle
either in town or country. ut is not
necessary" Prof. Arnold's celebrat-
ed glasses are not wholesaled. The
Professor does not peddle himself
and has no agents. Lastly, do not let
some ignorant, cheeky rascal wheedle
or brighten you cut of your cash for a
pair of common brass frames filled
with poorest of moulded or pressed
window glass. Instead, call on Prof.
Arnold at his office and get scien-
tific examination (such as would cost
you $40 in the large cities) entirely
free. The Professor will give you an
honest opinion, and, in case your eyes
can be helped, will do so at reas-
enable price. II not, will frankly tell
you. and you are dismissed free of
cost.
Now the public can rest assured
that where glasses are required, Prof.
Arnold will furnish them at about
one-half the price asked by the be
fore mentioned swindlers, while the
quality is beyond all comparison, to
say nothing of the danger of running
your eyes by having them botched
through the laundering of an unmiti-
gated fraud.

RAILROAD RUMBLING
Things Heard and Seen Along Track
and Roundhouse.

Another change in the dispatching
force of the Iowa Central is an
nounced. Mr.. H. w. Tyler, who has
been employed in the Office as one
of the trick men during the past
twelve months or more, has resigned
his place in the Office to accept po-
sition with the operating force of the
Union Pacific at Evanston, Wyoming.
Mr.. Tyler departed last night on the
Central north bound to take up the
duties in hts-new place as soon as he
can reach the Office. Mr.. Tyler has
been one of the hardest workers in
the office in this city since coming
here over a year ago, and mas made
many friends who will wish him ev-
cry success in the new position. Mr..
Tyler's resignation may possibly
mean the reorganization of the Oska-
loosa force in the dispatcher's office
and changes effected by his departure
may not be announced for some time
to come.

Knoxville Express: AS the 60"
stock extra pulled out of here for the
east last Sunday morning a peculiar
accident happened. About half a
mile from the station with the train
under full Roadway down the Compe-
tine grade, the side door on one of the
horse cars came open and one of the
horses, crowding too close to the
aperture, slipped through, turned a
double somersault and rolled down
the embankmeft on the right Of way.
The most singular thing is that the
animal was not killed, but when led
back to Elliott's barn 1t seemed I'M
hurt except one leg being skinned.
The train men didn't discover that
the door had sprung open till the
train arrived at Harvey, and the won
der is that more live stock mad not
been strung along the track. The
horses in the car belonged to James
Hartley.
The railroads of the country are to
be made ready for unprecedented
business for the coming years by I'M
precedented expenditures for new
equipment. The builders Of locomo-
tives and cars are overrun with or
ders, amounting in the aggregate to
5000, 100000. AS an eastern paper in
chronicling this fact obserevs, it is
the business Of the great transporta-
ton companies to adjust the means
of movement to demand upon the
part of shippers, and their extraordi-
nary expenditure is based upon the
expectation of extraordinary business
activity. If there shall be good crops
there will be need to keep all the
wheels turning for the coming sea-
son. .....
According to statistics published in
the Railway Age, only 1856 Of the to-
tai of 100000 miles of railway in the
United States are provided with the
block sgnal system. For 1905 the
railways have provided for the in
stallation of the system on only 1887
miles, as against 5,937 miles in 1904.
OF the 44,5S6 miles Of railway now
equipped with block signals, the sys-
tenn on 10000 miles is used only in
time Of fog and only for passenger
trains. If the recommendation of the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
needed congress will enact a law
making the establishment, Of the
block system obligatory on all roads.
