, squadron OF cavalry, because OF being
on duty at the Mexican border, will
not be able to perform its usual func
tion at the coming inaugural, that oi
acting as escort of honor to the new
governor But this pleasing duty, how
ever, will devolve upon the two OLD

the college Of agriculture of the Wni-
versity.
Want Separate Board.
( Ohio Optometrists intend asking the
legislature for law this winter that
will give them a separate board of ex-
aminers and licensers. A stiff fight
was made before the general assem-
bly, two years ago to secure this privi-
lege for members Of the eye glass fit-
ting profession who are not medical
with several other branches of the
healing or remedial or corrective pro-
fession, such as Chiropractors, osteo-
paths, chiropodists and the like, the
optometrists were made subject to
/, regulations laid down by the state
medical board. This, the optometrists
say, is unjust and unfair to them.
Ohio S. U. Day.

and pardon. Among the applicants
whose cases will be considered by the
board is Nellie Shannon of Butler
county, serving an indeterminate term
in the penitentiary for extortion.
