Have
You
The
Spectacle
Habit?

And have you a habit which is
worse? That of going to new be-
ginner and pretender for eye help?
Do you fail to consult Prof. Mayne
Arnold, Ga reliable eye-sight special
ist), from mistaken notion that the
most skillful man and at the largest
place you will pay more than will be
charged by the inexperienced small
fry glass-fitters? This is mistake:
You not only run the risk Of throwing
away money, but what is worse, that
of running your eyes. Besides you
pay much more for poorer goods. The
ignorant pretender lacking skill re-
lies on a glib tongue and make meth
DDS to effect sale, and as customers
are few collects extortionate prices.
On the contrary Prof. Arnold, strong
in knowledge, skill and long expert
ence, and having a large patronage,
charges but a moderate fee to his pa
tients. Probably not one-fourth what
is asked by smooth pretenders.
Among the thousands who procure
glasses from and entrust their eyes to
Prof. Mayne Arnold's care, are the
families of Lacey, Gibbs, Baldauf, Nc
Quiston, Spencer, Sheppard, Kalbach,
Huber. Campbell, Sewers, Nash, Black,
Kaye, Dugan, Duboc, Engstrom, Harri-
son, Dow, Middlesworth, Barnes, Boy
er, Gordon, Nelson, Beede, Beaman,
Dusenberry, Smith, Eby, Judge,
Blanchard, Judge Mccoy, Drs. Hun
ter, Hugg, Hook, Ruan, Barringer, Mil
Ter, True, Rodgers, and thousands
more of the most influential people of
Mahaska county. Ask yourself, are
the people l have named people of
poor judgment? Are they liable in
such an important matter as the well
fare of eyes to send their families to
the wrong man and the wrong place?
No indeed! On the contrary their
reputation is that of shrewd, level
headed, prosperous men, and you are
eye help call on Prof. Arnold, who is
the most successful
eye-sight specialist in Iowa. Special
glasses made to order. Skillful eye
examinations free.
Important Prof. Arnold does not
pretend that it is necessary to have
every pair of glasses made to order,
and then procure shoddy glasses from
cheap catalogue, mail order houses.

LARGE Apple Crop.

Probably the largest summer apple
crop grown in the state this fall is at
the monastery of the Catholic monks
at New Mallery, in Dubuque county,
and as the apples are so perishable,
the monks have been obliged to hire
force of twenty-five men to assist
them in gathering the great crop from
their orchards, to help market the
fruit and put them into cider and vim
egar. There are 1000 acres in the
monastery farm, and the orchard and
vineyards are very large.

CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT TAE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Sept. 25.-The past
week was quite variable in tempera-
ture, and in the distribution of rain
fall. In the west central and north
ern districts there was a general prev
alence of cool and wet weather, but
in other portions of the state the av-
erage temperature was above normal,
and the rainfall was generally light.
Inc amount of moisture in the soil is
now ample for pasturage and fall
blowing, except in portions of the east
central and southeast districts, where
more rain is needed.
The late corn has made good pro-
gress toward maturity except in the
districts where wet and cloudy wealth
er prevailed. Corn harvesting is in
progress in all sections, with an in
creased acreage in shock in districts
where dairying is the leading industry.
Many crop reporters state that corn
is nearly all safe, but conservative
estimates indicate that from 10 to 20
per cent of the crop is not as well ma
tured as could be desired to withstand
a killing frost. The crop as whole
will be better and sounder if frost
less weather prevails until October 5,
which is about the average date of
killing frosts in Iowa. In the south
ern half Of the state the bulk of the
crop is now reported to be practically
safe. The larger amount of immature
corn is in the central and north CEN
trail districts, where there has been
heavy rainfall and rank growth of
stalks.

DIED BY CHLOROFORM
Queenie McGlumphy Succumbs to
Fumes of readly Drugs.

The Napa California; Journal OF
Thursday, September 20, contains the
following particulars Of the death OF
a former 0skaloosa girl, who was very
popular among her large circle of
friends here:
Miss Queen McGlumphy, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. F. McGlumphy,
who reside at 81 Calistoga avenue,
died some time during the early hours
of Tuesday morning from the effects
of chloroform. Her relatives state
that she was in the habit of using the
drug as a remedy for neuralgia in the
head, of which she was victim, and
from the pains of which she frequent
| ly complained.
Miss McGlumphy spent Monday
evening on the front porch of her res
idence with Miss Alice Wilson,a young
lady friend who resides in the neigh
borhood, and at that time seemed to
be in a particularly jovial frame OF
mind. She intended to go to Berke-
ley Tuesday morning, and on that &C
count retired early, leaving word with
her mother not to let her sleep too
late, as she had some work to perform
before she made the trip.
In compliance with this request
Mrs. McGlumphy went to her daugh-
ter's room shortly after 8 o'clock
Tuesday morning to call her, and re-
ceiving no response, she went over to
the bed to awaken her. Putting her
hand down by her neck she was
startled to feel the GOODNESS of it, and
observing that the young lady's hand
held bottle of chloroform she ran to
the front of the porch and screamed.
Her son Frank, who had just left the
yard in light wagon on his way to
work heard his mothers screams and
rushing back was told by her that his
sister was dead.
"The mother was so Frustrated
Tuesday that she was unable to see
any one, but the neighbors who were
summoned testified before the coro-
ner's jury relative to the manner in
which the body was lying wnen dis
covered. According to two of them,
Miss Alice Wilson and Mrs. ]. C.Knox,
the head of Miss McGlumphy was COW
cred with the bed clothes, the pillow
was saturated with the deadly drug
and her hand was held close to her
nose, encircling the bottle of chloro-
form. All the witnesses agreed that
the young woman had never been in
detected frame of mind, nor had she
ever stated that she was tired of liv-
ing.
"She was twenty-five years OF age
and a native of Iowa, and had been
living in Napa for the past three
years, and was quite well known
among the younger people.
after the testimony had all been
taken the jury decided that it would
not return verdict Tuesday, but ad.
journed until IL o'clock this morning,
when it will again meet in the Offices
of e. H. King, the foreman. DR.. Hen
nessey will be called upon to testify
in regard to the young woman's ply
steal condition, and an agreement will
undoubtedly then be reached.
''Dr. Frary, who was called right af'
ter the body was discovered, states
that in his opinion death was due to
accidental inhalation of the chloro'
form"

Minnesota Town Reads Riot Act to
Gamblers.

Crookston, MINI, July 18.-The
court and county attorney of Polk
county are determined to put the lid
upon gambling, and announced today
that special grand jury would be
called If gamblers persisted in defy.
ing The law.
The agitation started through
activity among the gambling frater.
nifty in East Grand Forks, and es-
pecially through The Dan Sullivan
case OF that city, Sullivan now await
ing the action Of the next grand jury,
The court has signihed its intention of
imposing a straight jail sentence up
on all offenders convicted under gam
bling charges, and County Attorney
Maybury states that he will prose
cute most vigorously any cases that
come up. There Is no doubt but
that gambling will cease, as public
opinion Is strongly on the side of the
county officials.
The Sunday saloon has been
brought before citizens again through
a letter written to each saloonkeeper
by the mayor. The saloons had
jumped over the traces and had, to
a large degree dehed the closing
laws. The mayor became cognizant of
Of the fact, and without waiting for the
reform element to petition him, at
once served notice upon proprietOrs
that the law must be obeyed or IL
censes placed in jeopardy. The action
of the mayor has brought to his sup
port the law enforcement element,
and his praises are sounded through
out the city. The order will be
obeyed by the saloon interests, for
Mayor Chesterman has the reputation
Of carrying into effect any order he
issues or policy he stands for.

upon the issue Of the fraudulent al
