The Greatest Boon Wearers of Glasses Have Ever Known

After oO years of time and labor spent by the moi-t export
lens grinders of the world in trying to perfect a lens that would
give two foci in one without any prismatic, effects or spherical
aberration, it was left to science to btep in and supply the needed
iens.
Do you understand the great blessing that this invention has
been to glass-wearers? It means a saving of thousands of eyes,
for more eyes are injured by badly constructed lenses than in any
other way. By allowing yourself to be fitted by incompetent
Opticians, who know nothing of the process of constructing the
lenses you wear, you are laying your eye-sight liable to injuries
which, when once sustained, can never be undone .-
LEFFERT'S LENSES are being worn by thousands of glass
wearers, and are being recommended by all as the most beneficial
lens for the sight that is known.
These lenses are very neat in appearance, and can be worn by
the most delicate eye, as the annoying feature of the old style
bifocal have been entirely done away with.
They are the only achromatic eyeglasses or spectacle lenses
in the world.
They can be fitted ONLY BY EXPERT Oculists and Opti
cians, who understand the construction of the lens, as well as
the eye. ,
These lenses require the most skifled lens-grinders that the
country affords. '
When you get LEFFERT'S you get THE BEST there are
none just as good.
These lenses cost, ten times more to construct than tl"
style bifocals.
LEFFERT QUALITY means the best quality.
Thousands of dollars have been spent to perfect these won
derful lenses.
There is not made one-tenth the profits ou them that is mad;'
on the old style, imperfect bifocal lenses. When you get the LEF
FERT LENS you get your money's worth.
Sight is more precious than gold. Then why neglect, it when
you can get LEFFERT'S LENSES? They relieve tired and weak
eyes; will make poor eyes good e)res, and keep them good. LEF
FERT'S LENSES have revolutionized the optica business in this
section.
Your sight is worth as much 1o you as a' KingV m'1iI is in
him. LEFFERT'S LENSES are within the read, .il a!l. You
will spend more money in three years buying poor lenses than Hi
LEFFERT LENSES, the best of all. will cost vim. Si-lit is in
jured by the use of poorly constructed Icdms, LEFFERT'S
LENSES are scientifically constructed, ami will acta to your ap
insurance. Poorly constructed lenses make you look old.
Our past record speaks for itself. We are the largest optical
house in Iowa, and control the exclusive right3 for the sale of
these lenses in this section. We deem this lens of such importance
to wearers of glasses that we feel it our duty to more fully acquaint
them with this wonderful lens.
For the purpose of introducing these lenses iroiv fully we
make this special announcement. These lenses can he titled to
your mountings or frames. . '
Our opticians are thoroughly skilled and reliable.

Judrre Thornell sent word to 11. J.
Chambers, clerk of the district court, yes
terday that he would come to Council
Bluffs today to henr the matte,- of tne
application of the democrats for an o.--der
requiring County Attorney Cheyne to
change the official bnllot to be used next
Tuesday at the general election ho an to
designate which of the three deinoci'jtlj
candidates for members of tlu; Uuaid
of Supervisors was the candidate tor Uie
short term and which two were candi
date for the long term.
Following the temporary restraining
order secured from Judge Macy Wednes-
: day. which enjoined County Auditor
. Cheyne from printing the official bal
' lota until a hearing should I e had In
! the matter, F. W. Miller, counsel tor '.lie
'democratic party, yesterday morning
filed the papers in the proceedings in lha
district court.
The petition relating to the omission
of the terms for which the democratic
candidates for supervisors are running.
In part. Is as follows:
The action of the defendant (Auditor
Cheyne) In such that. If allowed lo be
carried out. and said nainex I lowed to
remain thereon as now arranged, plain
tiffs (the three candidates for super
visor) will suffer Irreparable injury, and
the electors of 1'ottawattamle county, or
a large proportion of them, will oe de
prived of their right to vote for the
officer or candidates of their choice.
The action of the county auditor in r
fiiHlng to accept the arrange ni 'lit of
these plaintiffs and the proceeding of
the democratic tounty convention in fix
ing the commencement of the respective
teima of office of these candidates Ik
depriving the electors of the county of
the right to vote for any one of them,
for tiie reason that their votes cunnut bo
counted.
The action of the county auditor in
refusing to accede to the demand of the
plaintltla Is an absolute bar to the se
lection of a democrat to any one of these
three offices at the next election.
The mistake in the residence of two of
the d 'inocratic candidates for supervisors
was corrected by the county auditor when
tile matter w as culled to Ida , attention, so
no order from the couit In this respet l
will now be necessary.
Included In the petition Is a demand that
the uaiiies of the several democratic candi
dates be placed on the ballot opposite the
republican candidates for the same offices,
respectively. In the sample ballot which
appeared Wednesday, by a mistake of the
printer, the names In the democratic col
umn ere out of "alignment." No com I
order, however, will be necessary so far
as (ids is concerned, as County Auditor
Cheene notified the printers that he would
not accept tiie official ballots unless the
names of tiie candidates In each column
acre properly aligned.
County Auditor Cheyne stated yesterday
that, u fr a h wa personally con
cerned. It wag perfectly willing to Changs
the ballot as requested by the democrat!, I
but believed that nn order of court wat
necesaary for him to do so, aa he had pre
pared It according to the nominations filed
with him hy the democratic party.
Three Ballot for Republicans.
For the republican votiTs llicru will
be three ballots ut the general election
next Tesday. The general bullut con
taining the national, mato. congressional.
Judicial, legislative, county and township
tickets, the ballot for the constitutional
amendment regarding the drainage law 4
and the third, will be the republican jeu
utoiiul primary ballot.
The general ballot will be tho largest
ever used In an election in towa. It
will be about u. yard long and twenty
Inches wide. It will have seven column.,
for the different parties, as follow.-:
Republican, democratic, prohibition, so
cially, people's, independence r.nd indt
pendent by petition. In the last column
there appears the name of but one lone
candidate, that of Edward Slade, who Is
designated as of Pottawattamie county,
candidate for sheriff.
On account of the nine of the ballot
th usual ballot boxes it is deemed cer
tain will be Inadequate and County Au
ditor Cheyne has made arrangements to
supply extra boxes for those precincts
where there Is a largo vote.
The election Judges may not isk the
voter if ho wants the republican primary
ballot and unless tho voter cals for It
personally he will not liave the f.i I vilest
of naming his choice for United Stales
senator. In asking for a primary bal
lot the voter must present signed ie
quest. The election officials will have
these printed requests all ready tor the
voter to nlgn.
The laneuage of the request uiUKt he
as follows:
I request a primary election ballot lor
the purpose of voting at this primary
election for a candidate of the republi
can party for the office of senator In
the congress of the United States. I de
clare that I uftiiUte Willi and am lu
sympathy with the principles of tho re
publican pally: that it Is my intention
to support Reneraiiy at this general elec
tion tne nominees of such party; that 1
have not enrolled with nor participated
In any primary election or convention ut
any other political party since I lie Ilr.it
day of the last preceding year.
This plan. It Is believed, will keep any
but republicans from voting the primary
ballot.
