I have not received the Xmas box sent me and am sorry l did not have the opportunity to send you folks one, as 1 h ad some things 1 wanted to send you, but had to hike it away on the spur of the moment.
 Have written about all 1 pre- sume l should, or that l am per- mitted, so I'll close, saying to you that you have no idea how your letters put new life into me; and that 1 feel much better since I heard from you. 1 will state that am more than pleas ed with my position, and would not exchange places with any of the boys in Brinkley. Am getting on finely. Like my mates and all the officers aboard. and have reason to believe that it is reciprocal.
 With love and best wishes,

Frank Sain for Marshal

The announcement of Frank Saine as a candidate for City Marshal appears elsewhere.
 Frank is well known here, having been raised here, and has many friends. He was on the City Police Force a few years back and was known as a fear less and efficient officer.
 If elected Frank promises to see to 1t, that the laws are en- forced and no ,favortism is shown. He promises to give his entire time and attention to the city and pledges himself to keep the streets and alleys in a sanitary condition and Brinkleys' face washed.
 Frank is a clever fellow and his friends believe that if elect ed he will make splendid officer.
 The ARGUS bespeaks for him a fair and impartial consideration.

Glass Eye That Moves.

Capt. J. L. Asmard, British army
surgeon, describes in the Lancet an
improved glass eye which can move.
The chief drawbacks to the ordinary
glass eye are that, being simply con-
vex shell Of glass, it tends to sink
pack into the socket and is fixed in
stony stare. Captain Aymard gets
over these difficulties by placing in
he socket Of the eye sphere of liv-
ng cartilage or gristle taken without
.isll from the patients ribs. 1t is all
one operation. While one surgeon re-
moves the destroyed eye, another sur
seon removes the pieces of cartilage
from near the patients breastbone.
Two pieces are made into a little
globe, which is placed in the socket,
and the thin outer covering of the eye,
The conjunctiva. is sewn over to hold
it in place. The ordinary glass eye;
she'll is inserted over this and is pre-
vented from sinking backwards. Some
movement of the eye by the wearer is
said to be possible.
