stated he prophesied that the out
come of former activity would be to
forget all about it and that it would
result in nothing being done. He in
tends to have the matter taken up
again before some one else is killed.
Blockaded crossings were cited as a
cause for other action. Action is to
be brought against the railway com

of this character abated. Crossings
have, it is alleged, been held recently
for a period of twenty minutes.

Why Purchase Glasses From Obscure
individuals of Doubtful Skill?

Why pay extravagant prices for
cheap glasses of uncertain grade
when you can get the finest and best
on earth from Prof Mayne Arnold,
fully guaranteed for one-fourth to
one-half the price? ,r a..
Mayne Arnold dispenses to his pa
irons the only glasses on earth which
cannot be filed.
And why can they not be filed?
Because they are ground from
stone which has never been melted,
the same as a diamond, ruby or en-
erald
Remember, no other Optician in
Iowa has such lenses.
Also bear in mind that Mayne
Arnold furnishes these diamond crys-
tai lenses at one-fOurth to one-half
what many others charge for cheap
mail order" glasses.
These splendid lenses are called
Diamond Crystal on account of
their brilliancy, hardness and near
resemblance to diamonds. Conse-
quently they could be worn for hun.
dreds of years and never lose their
unequalled clearness, brilliancy and
polish.
