j A "Variety of Diseases All Cured Sim
ply by Applying His Wonderful
Remedies to the Eyes.
The list of difficult cases which Pro
; lessor Samuels has cured in Topeka
i stows larger day by day. If one ac-
; count of each was put in the newspa-
per, people would be astonished at the
eize of it. Below are the names of
eome well known people who have been
, treated for various diseases. No ac-
i count is taken of people who nave Deen
simply fitted with glasses.
F. C. ."Downey, attorney, 26 Columbian
. building, had the use of only one eye
; the best oculist in Kansas City claimed
! there was no help for the other eye.
He now sees with Doth. Tor. Sam
uels did it.
Wm. Foster of Pauline, Kans., was
troubled with a cataract growth on his
eyes; was cured by our method of
treatment, by absorption.
Mr. A. Troup, of Troup's Enterprise,
had been treated for nine months and
was getting no better. He called on
Prof. Samuels and was cured in six
weeks of catarrh and sore eyes.
Mrs. Warner, wife of Councilman J.
S. Warner had been suffering for sev
eral years with a bad case of sore eyes.
She had tried several doctors and most
of the so-called oculists in town, but
got no relief. She was induced to try
Prof. Samuels and after two months'
treatment she was entirely cured. When
Mr. Warner settled for the glasses he
remarked that he never paid out money
more cheerfully in his life.
Mr. J. H. Bevelle, Topeka manager of
the Western Union Telegraph company.
was suriering wun grauniatea eyes ana
also catarrh. He treated for 23 months
with what he supposed to be the best
oculists with no improvement. In 60
days under Prof. Samuels he was cured.
- Mr. Pigg, proprietor of the St, Nich
olas hotel, had his daughter treated by
the so-called best oculists of this civ
until she was made entirely blind. In
a. short time after taking her to Prof.
Samuels she was cured by his way of
treating.
M. S. Sales, who works for the Chica
go Lumber company, at Third and
Jackson streets, was entirely blind.
The best oculists in the city claimed
that no human being could make him
see. But he is now cured by this won
derful method and now sees well.
Ten years ago Mrs. E. P. Baker of
North Topeka was suffering terribly
with neuralgia. Everything in the way
of doctors and medicine was tried, with
no results. She called in Prof. Samuels,
took his treatment and got a pair of
glasses. The disease at once disappear
ed, and, although that was ten years
ago, there has been no recurrence of
the trouble since.
Chancellor Snow.
Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 10, 1893.
It .gives me great pleasure to certify
to the great benefits received by my
son and daughter, aged respectively 12
and 10 years, by the use of Prof. Sam
uel's glasses. Both of them had suf
fered from defective sight so that they
had been compelled to abandon school
for more than a year. Other eminent
authorities had prescribed for them
without success, but Prof. Samuels'
spectacles gave them immediate and
permanent relief.
F. H. SNOW,
Chancellor University of Kansas.
Governor Felt Writes.
For years the gradual loss of eyesight
has caused me unmistakable annoyance.
During that period it was my misfor
tune to purchase glasses that were an
absolute failure. Some time since I got
glasses of you, and although the work
required of me since purchasing them
has been unusually hard.yet it has sur
prised and gratified me to learn that
my eyes seem stronger and my vision
clearer than for many years before.
A. J. FELT.
Lieutenant Governor and present Edit
or of the Atchison Champion.
Both Don and Lucile Mulvane have
been fitted with glasses by Prof. Sam
uels and recommend his work very
highly.
Mrs. T. Crouch, who is a dressmaker
at 1030 Polk street, suffered for six or
seven years from a bad case of catarrh.
After taking various treatments she
finally decided to try Prof. Samuels.
After three months' treatment the ca
tarrh was entirely cured, and although
that was three years ago it has never
returned.
Robert Inman, son of Major Henry
Inman, was for some time almost blind.

physicians accounted
wise, searched vainly for the
Elixir of Life, or the knowledge
whereby life might be prolonged.
We now know that there is no such thing
as an Elixir of Life. But we have learned
that life may be prolonged by those who
take the right measures.
Any man or woman who will take care of
health and take the right remedies for ill
health, may live to a ripe old age. When
a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up
in the morning tired out after a restless
night, and goes home in the evening com
pletely knocked out with his day's work,
without appetite or ambition, he is a sick
man. If he does not take the right remedy
be will soon be in the grasp of consump
tion, nervous prostration, malaria, or some
other serious malady.
A man in this condition should at once
ire sort to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
!eovery. It is the best of all medicines for
hard-working men and women. It makes
the appetite keen and hearty. It gives
sound and refreshing sleep. It tones and
strengthens the whole system. It invigor
ates the heart and nerves. It makes diges
tion perfect, the liver active and the blood
pure. It cures 98 per'cent. of all cases of
consumption. It strengthens weak lungs,
and cures bronchitis, spitting of blood and
obstinate coughs. It is the great blood
maker and flesh-builder. It does not make
flabby flesh like ced liver oil, but firm,
healthy, muscular tissue. It does not make
corpulent people more corpulent. Thou
sands have testified to its marvelous merits.

JOE MILLER FREE.
Winfield Man Convicted of Counter
feiting in New Orleans, Pardoned.
Winfield, April 19. The following tel
egram was received here yesterday
from Joe Miller at Columbus, O. :
"Granted unconditional pardon. Will
leave for home this morning."
The story of Joe Miller's arrest at
New Orleans and subsequent conviction
on the charge- of handling counterfeit
money, is till fresh in the minds of the
public. There were those on the inside
who always stoutly maintained that his
arrest and conviction resulted from a
conspiracy arising from the jealousy of
business rivals.
But to the efforts of his mother he
owes his ultimate releas'e. With tire
less energy, possibly only when inspir
ed, by the instinct of a noble mother s
love, she worked incessantly in his be
half. , ,
Finally she reached the ear of Presi
dent McKinley and her eloquent story
touched a chord of sympathy, resulting
in a thorough investigation and an un
conditional pardon.
KANSAS CORN NEEDED.
California Barley Crop Fails Cattle
Must Have Feed.
San Francisco, April 19. California
offers a good market for the corn of
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Large
shipments of this cereal are now com
ing west. The needs of the cattle in
central and southern California and
particularly the failure of this year's
barley crop are the reasons for the in
creasing demand for corn.
WEST IS SOAKED.
Short Grass Country Gets a Bain of
36 Hours Duration.
Lamed, April 19. After a rain of 36
flours duration the sun is shining again
on western Kansas. In the vernacular
of the hour the shortgrass country is
"strictly in it."From two to four inches
of rain was distributed over the entire
western portion of the state and we are
assured that last year's big wheat crop
will come on a return engagement this
year. The rain has benefited crops
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
iyPIAjTGIIOST DANCE.
Worked Into Frenzy by Medicine
Men, Trouble is Expected.
Guthrie, O. T., April 19. Nearly 1,000
Cheyenne Indians are gathered on the
banks of the North Canadian, many miles
from the agency, holding a ghost dance
and "making medicine."
They are holding long discussions in a
big council house, to which whites, edu
cated Indians and squaws are not admit
ted, and are being worked into a frenzy
by the medicine men, who are conducting
strange rites and ceremonies, while the
crowds of braves dance continuously
about them in a circle.
It is feared by many that the Indians,
incited by their medicine men, will take
advantage of the absence of the troops
from Forts Reno and Sill to start an up
rising to secure more beef rations and in
revenge for the enforcement of the terri
torial anti-polygamy law, which has caus
ed great discontent in the tribe.
REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Wire Nail Trust Makes a Cut of From
Nine to Thirty Per Cent
Anderson, Ind., April 19. The new
wire nail trust, which has just absorbed
fourteen plants located at Joliet and De
Kalb, 111.; Anderson, Allentown, Ran
kin and Beaver Falls, Pa,; St. Louis,
Mo.; Cleveland, Salem and Findlay, O..
and employs 10.000 skilled workers, to
day posted notice at the Anderson plant
of reductions in wages ranging from 9
to 30 per cent, and it is understood that
reductions are being made at all other
plants to the lowest scale paid.
ignt nunarea men are affected here.
They are holding mass meeting todav
and began organizing the 10.000 work
ers at all points to resist the cuts. The
situation is likely to become serious.
Anti trust concerns will havp tr out-
also if the trust is successful. The
Amalgamated association is vitally in
terested. AMATEUR SHOOTERS.
Important Trap Shooting Event in
Frogress at St. Louis.
St. Louis, April 19. Thirty-eight
crack amateurs from different parts of
tne country are at Dupont Park, near
this city, participating in the most im
portant amateur shooting tournament
ever held in the west.
Wm. E. Sergeant, the Missouri cham
pion, shot in every event and carried off
the honors in the first day's shooting,
with an average of 92 per cent.
Graham of Kalamazoo, Mich., was
second, with an average of 87 per cent,
and Tripp of Indianapolis third, with
an average of 86 per cent. Dr. Knowlton
of New York made a run of 25 straight,
in the seventh event.

IT COMES TOO LATE.
Dreibund Now Proposes the
Referendum For the Cubans.
London, April 19. It is reported that
the dreibund or triple alliance, com
posed of Germany, Austria and Italy,
acting upon the suggestion of Italy, has
proposed to the powers a plebescite,
under .which the population of Cuba
should be allowed to vote for tlje form
of government under which they shall
live.
FIRST CALL FOR 60,000 MEN.
New Military Bill Will Send State
Militia to the Front.
Washington. April 19. Representative
Hull (Ia-, chairman of the house com
mittee on military affairs, will today
introduce an administration bill, auth
orizing the president to issue a call for
volunteers to the number of 50,000 or
70,000 men. It will be considered im
mediately by the committee, its passage
expedited as rapidly as possible, and
will take effect immediately upon the
president's approval. Its terms will au
thorize the president to call on the var
ious states for quotas in making up the
aggregate. By being framed in this way
instead of specifically looking to calling
out the various state militias, the bill
avoids several embarrassing technical
ities, the main one being the constitu
tional inhibition of sending state militia
out of the country, while volunteers so
called for, can be ordered anywhere.
It is likely that if the situation de
velops into such grave proportions as
is now expected, a second call for 100,000
volunteers will be issued by the presi
dent. The necessity for this immense
number, however, is not clear to the
military authorities at this time. The
draft of the present war measure has
just been framed by the war depart
ment officials, and the leading members
of the military committee have already
conferred with the war department au
thorities on the necessity of this line,
the latter having announced that a
maximum of 80,000 volunteers would be
sufficient at this time.

Spanish "Butcher" Likely to Be Re-
turned to Cuba.
London, April 19. The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
says: "Several influential and outspo
ken journals believe that in the event
of war Lieutenant General Weyler will
be placed in chief command in Cuba.
I learn that a number of the cortes in
tends to make a proposal in that sense
but it is questionable whether it has
any hope of success."
BRITISH IRE AROUSED'.
Correspondent of "London Times" Ex
pelled From Havana.

covered, Now Being Tested.
Pittsburg, April 19. A new explosive
shell, the invention of Genres W. Mc-
Millin, a Chicagoan, is being tested at
the Twenty-ninth street works of the
Carnegie Steel company and the results
may determine the duration of an en
counter with Spanish men of war.
It is claimed that they are of a more
dangerous nature to the enemy than
any other projectile in the navy depart
ment. Within the next week they will
be forwarded to Sandy Hook testing
grounds.where they will be put through
the government's most rigid examina
tion.

A LARGE CROWD
Assembles to Obtain Free Samples of
Dr. Loring's Remedy.
An enormous crowd of people
thronged the Journal office this morning
to obtain a free sample of Dr. Loring's
Germ Killer remedy that has been ad
vertised for the past two days for free
distribution. Dr. Van Deusen,, their
special representative was disappointed
at not being able to supply the demand
on account of delay in getting the sam
ples which were Bhipped over the Rock
Island road from Colorado Springs.
Having left the Springs Tuesday, April
12th, and not arrived yet, Dr. Van
Deusen telegrapher his company at
Chicago yesterday the facts and re
quested them to express samples so as
to get them here by 1 o'clock today. All
those who called this morning were re
quested to return this afternoon and
they would obtain a bottle of this won
deful remedy. On account of this de
lay Dr. Van Deusen has agreed to dis
tribute samples again all day tomorrow
all will be supplied.
CIIILDTURNS BLACK.
Bronze Spots Appear on the Body of
a Caucasian GirL
Marinette, Wis., April 19. The curi
ous phenomenon of a white child turning
black is interesting the medical frater
nity of this district. The subject, a 10
year old daughter of Samuel May, a
farmer living in the Sugar Bush, a few
miles from here, was presented by her
physician. Dr. J. T. Redelings, at the
clinic of the Fox River Valley Medical
society which was held here this week.
The girl's parents are of American birth
and have no trace or any taint in their
blood.
They have several other children who
are perfectly white and are fair.
This child was also purely white un
til she was 5 years old. There then ap
peared upon her body these dark spots
and these have multiplied and increased
in size during the past five years until
her body and limbs are now more dark
than light.
These discolorations are a dark bronze
and show vividly against the white skin
as the child is otherwise exceedingly
fair, having blue eyes and light golden
hair. They have as yet not touched the
face or other usually exposed portions
of her tody. The discolorations, howev
er, partly cover her neck, body and
arms and are gradually extending, and
in all probability will in a short time
transform her into the color of a De
gress. KANSAS FOSSILS.
Two Washington Geologists Will Ex
plore the Kansas Field.
Winfield, April 19. Dr. Lester F.
Ward, of Washington, D. C, who made
some important geological discoveries
on the Medicine river last summer, ex
pects to come to Kansas again and fin
ish the work then begun. C. N. Gould
has received a letter from Dr. Ward
stating that both he and T. W. Stanton,
also of Washington, would be here to
do field work the coming summer.
The plan is to start from Winfield
some time in August and drive to Ki
owa or Medicine Lodge. From there a
trip will be made past Alva and Wood
ward to the Panhandle and then back
to Clark county, Kansas. From this
point the route will be across to Dodge
City, down the Arkansas to Great Bend,
across to the Smoky Hill and down tne
river to Salina. From,Salina Drs.Ward
and Stanton will probably return to
Washington and .the Winfield people re
turn home.
Dr. Ward is the best authority in
America on fossil -leaves and Dr. Stan
ton is recognized authority on fossil
shells and rocks of the cretaceous age.
MAKES DESPERATE LEAP.
RussianCook Jumps From Brooklyn
Bridge and Lives.
New Tork, April 19. Demetro Zekola,
a Russian cook living in Washington,
leaped from the middle of the Brooklyn
bridge and was picked up by a tug and
taken to Bellevue hospital. He seemed
but little injured when he reached there
but late in the afternoon it was report
ed that he was unconscious and might
not recover.
As the man's body neared the water
after the jump, it turned head down
ward; then it plunged beneath the sur
face. The body reappeared 100 yards away.
A tug steamed toward it, and the mate
threw out a line in front of the strug
gling figure. The man grasped the rope
and was dragged aboard, alive, but
barely conscious and shivering with the
cold. -

WEDDING CALLED OFF
After the Guests Had Assembled Be
cause the Groom Was an Ex-Convict.
Muncle, Ind..' April 19. Robert Nidy,
a wealthy farmer of near Bluffton, O".,
came here to marry Mrs. Harriet Jones
last evening. Everything was ready for
the ceremony. Rev. Hodgin, the Quaker
minister, and the guests being all pres
ent and the bride and groom waiting,
when Francis Hays, father of the bride,
announced that the marriage would not
and could not occur for the reason that
one of the guests had informed him that
Nidy had been only recently released
from . prison. The guest recognized
Nidy as being an old acquaintance in
Van Wert, Ohio, where Nidy married
his first wife.
Nidy acknowledged that he had been
in prison, but said that he was an inno
cent man. He said his wife had signed
his name to a check and passed it on a
bank.but that he shielded her and man
aged to get himself convicted. After
being liberated from prison, he says, he
secured a divorce. The bride agreed
with her father, and the marriage was
called off. Nidy returned home today
a broken-hearted man, with the mar
riage license as a souvenir of bis bitter
disappointment.
Friends of his in this city say he is a
man of estimable character, and that he
belongs to one of the wealthiest families
in Northwestern Ohio. Mrs. Jones se
cured a divorce from her husband a
short time ago. Her father, Mr. Hays,
is a liveryman. Friends of both parties
will attempt to secure a reconciliation
and have the marriage take place.
HORRORS OF SHEEP CAMP.
Kobbery of Bodies of Victims of the
Avalanche in the Chilkoot Pass.
Vancouver, April 19. C. L. Centre of
this city returned yesterday from the
scene of the recent avalanche at Sheep
Camp, in the Chilkoot Pass. He says
the situation there is very grave.
Desperadoes have robbed the bodies
of the victims of the disaster of sums
estimated at thousands of dollars.Thus,
on 59 bodies recovered only $140 was
found, although the dead were known
to have had much larger sums in their
possession. Committee of citizens are
searching for the robbers, and if found
they will be hanged.
Trouble was also brewing over the
question whether travel should be re
sumed over the trail before all the bod
ies buried under the snow had been re
covered. Friends of the missing were
declaring that their bodies would have
to be added to those of the victims be
fore travel was resumed, and an en
counter between them and the men who
wanted to push on to the Klondike
seemed imminent.
One swindler got $70 apiece for pre
tending to embalm five bodies. When
the bodies reached the coast the fraud
was discovered. The swindler was ar
rested and when Centre left the pros
pect was that he would be lynched.
Centre says that the work of rescue
was -simply a farce. A shaft sunk
promptly through the slide would have
reached the dead and the living, but the
work was carried on without system
and only 600 men volunteered to aid in
it out of 5,000. Some of the bodies were
still warm when found, but were hur
ried off to the morgue instead of an ef
fort being made to resuscitate them.
Some of the men rescued were buried
under the snow for five hours.
INDIAN UPRISING FEARED.
Dakota and Minnesota Red Men Giv
ing Evidence of Disturbances.
St. Paul, April 19. Advices have been
received that Indians in the west are
giving evidences of disturbance. The
braves in Oklahoma are already partici
pating in "sun dances" and a disturbed
condition is apparent in other parts. It
is thought that the Indians will take
advantage of the absence of the regu
lars to become troublesome.
In case there should be an Indian up
rising the officers in the regular army
will be badly missed. They are famil
iar with the Indian chiefs and know
how to humor, and threat as occasion
demands.
If the militia be ordered into service
it is expected that several companies
will be assigned to forts in the west to
meet any Indian emergency, and Col.
Bacon of the department of Dakota
will command.
A TRIBUTE FROM ENGLAND
The Baldwin Locomotive Works Said
to Be the Best in the World.
New York, April 19. An English jour
nal, in commenting upon the fact that
the Baldwin Locomotive Works of
Philadelphia have just rushed through
an order from the British government
for engines in the Soudan, have just re
ceived a Russian governmental order
for 34 "consolidation engines,"are build
ing 28 engines for Finland and built last
year 115 for Japan, says that "the Bald
win locomotives are considered the best
in the world."
Dixey to Quit Magic

President IVill Undoubtedly Re
fuse to Recognize Cuban
Independence.
Washington, April 18. Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, Secretary Long, Secretary
Sherman and Assistant Secretary Day
had an hour's conference with the pres
ident this morning. The purpose of the
meeting was not disclosed, but it is be
lieved it had special reference to the
Cuban resolutions now pending before
congress.
Members of the cabinet decline to
discuss what will be the final action up
on the report of the conference commit
tee, or what course the president will
pursue in the event that the clause rec
ognizing the independence of the Cuban
republic as it appears in the senate res
olutions, is retained.
From other reliable sources, however,
it is learned that in all probability the
president will return the resolution
without his approval.
This, it Is said, he will be compelled
to do, in order to maintain the preroga
tive he holds is clearly his under the con
stitution, up to this time nothing has
been done in the way of formulating an
ultimatum to Spain, nor has anything
been received from Minister Woodford,
or the other sources which may in any
way change the situation. No one in
official circles doubts that a hostile res
olution will be passed by congress
within the next day or two, and war al
most certainly will follow. Whether
the president's veto in case such act-
Ion on his part was maae necessary,
would seriously delay matters, cannot
with any certainty be foretold.
