in the city of Springfield, then but a very
small town, was spent as a clerk in
dry goods store, after which he be-
came bookkeeper. In 1857 he formed
a partnership with DR.. John Ludlow in
the drug business, which he continued
until 1865, when he became interested
in the concern of which he is now the
head, under the name of Warder,

he was appointed quartermaster gen

he served four years. He was one of

Some people are overestimated be-
cause they are fine takers People will
typay q doctor sometimes not because he
Idoes them any good, but because he is a
fine talker, or has made reputation as
q leader of Sunday school class. The
public should first find out who could do
them the most good. The fact that a
man is a good Sunday school teacher
does not make him q good doctor. A
man may be q great success as leader
of Sunday schools, and yet do the people
great harm as poor physician.
George Moore, who lives at 521 Tyler
street and works for c. S. Sutton in the
Santa Fe offices, for several years was
bothered with what is known as "granu-
lated lids" For over a year and half
he was treated by one of the so-ealled
Sbest" doctors in the city. He went to
him two or three times a week, but his
eyes grew no better. In fact, they grew
constantly worse. About three years ago,
Mr.. Moore called upon Prof, Samuels
The professor undertook his case and in
two weeks he was cured. Does that not
show how some So called "best" are over
estimated? No person who has sore eyes
needs to be treated every day by the
oculist, if he at all understands his BUSH
ness. He only needs to see the patient
once and give him the proper remedy.
Prof. Samuels wishes once more to put
the people on their guard against these
butchers. Do not allow them to tamper
with your eyes and keep them sore until
they run up big doctors bill
Go and see Mr.. and Mrs. Pigg who
Keep the ST. Nicholas hotel, and learn
what Prof. Samuels has done for their
child. Learn at the same time what the
So called the "best" did for her.
All nervous troubles will be cured by
Prof Samuels at the Hotel Throop.

CHICAGO BONDS SOUGHT.

Idea That the City Was Given Over to
Rioters Wasn't Strong.
LONDON, June 25.-A three million dol

per cent was offered here yesterday and
was subscribed to several times over
within a few hours
The managers of Speyer Bros, who
foated loan. said to a representative of
the Associated Press: 81 mnst confess
had some doubt whether the bonds were
marketable as I feared an idea prevailed
here that Chicago was given over to
rioters But we never handled a more
successful loan. 1t was taken by the
leading insurance companies and some
of the most responsible and heaviest in

CERTIFICATE RECITAL.
Library Hall Filled by Appreciattve
Audience to Hear Miss Ida L. Battey.

Library Hall Filled by an Appreciatfve
Audience to Hear Miss Ida L. Battey.
Last evening witnessed the public
piano recital by Miss Ida L Battey, pupil
of Mrs. A 2. Graham. at Library hall
Miss Battey offered to her listeners a
wide range of music from La Bannaueer,
a characteristic southern idyle, by Cots
chalk with its catchy swing to the sober
measures of the Beethoven Sonata, and
the severe technical work incident to
Bach's Fugues.
In all the varied programme she was
never for moment at a loss, rendering
the difficult music from memory without
a perceptible break. Miss Battey has
evidently been a faithful student
Schubert, Beethoven, List and Chopin
have rarely had better Interpretation by
a young player than was given last eve
ming.
1t was our opinion that her rendition
of Chopin was of high order. Two things
are essential for true rendering of Cho-
pin, the strictest attention to phrasing
and a grasp of the authors idea, as a
whole
Miss Battey's phrasing was most ex-
cellent. 1t was delightfully."- easy to fol-
low it. The repetition of motive was
rarely if ever played without attention
to the proper expression.
Her playing of the ''Spianato Polon-
aise." by Chopin, seemed best to display
her unusual talent
The friends who assisted at the recital
are mostly old Topeka favorites, and
helped to furnish a very delightful eve
ning's entertainment.

A PERFECT TOWN GOSSIP.


mant Rampant.
The city of Topeka has never witness
ed such excitement as is daily seen at the
Throop hotel parlors. The most miracu-
lous cures are effected daily by this great
medium, Prof. Montefiore, who is GER
Iainly the most wonderful man on the
face of the globe. He accompIishes all
these cures without giving any internal
medicine, and only takes such cases as
have been given up entirely by other
physicians. The professor is reliable
and responsible and we would suggest
to all who are in distress to consult him
at once. His parlors are crowded, and
we would advise all who are in need to
make an early engagement.
Mrs. Allison, of Kansas City, Kansas,
says:
81 suffered from diabetes and dropsi-
cal matter for four years, and found no
relief until l read about Prof. Monte
fore, and now l am perfectly cured and
sound; in fact, we claim this wonderful
man saved my life"
Also Mrs. Hartford of Emporia, Kan.
says: II have suffered with a cancer of
fhe breast for two years, and Prof. Mon
tetiOre has entirely cured me-"
He also can be consulted on business
affairs and never asks any questions and
diagnoses all cases. Don't delay, but
call at once, and make an early engage
ment with Prof. Montefiore. At the

BIMETALLISTS FEEL GOOD.
The Outlook for an International Confer
ence Considered Much better.

The Outlook for an international Confer
encs Considered Much better.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-There is ap-
parently considerable confusion as to the
prospects of an international conference
to consider the rehabilitation of silver to
be called on the initiative of Germany.
This is due to the conflicting reports that
have been received and also apparently
to the complications of the question as it
presents itself in Germany.
Those who have given attention to the
progress of the agitation in Germany say
that Chancellor Won Hohenlohe again
announced in the beginning Germany's
action wonld depend upon two circum-
stances. The first of these was that the
German state legislative bodies should
instruct for the issuance of the call, and
the second that there should be q sub
stantial agreement among the powers as
to the terms of the call.
The latest report makes it appear that
a majority of the federal governments
want the conference and desire that Ger
many should issue the call for it. It is
understood now that accepting this &C
ton on the part of the different states in
the light of an instruction, the chancellor
will proceed to negotiate with the other
European powers as to the terms of the
call.
Inc y QlL0Q OtaL6S mas maze known It's
wishes in this respect so far as the legis-
lative branch of the government can act,
in the resolution appointing congression-
al delegates. In this resolution provis-
ion was made that the United States
should be represented only in case the
conference should be called to provide
for a restoration of bimetallism.
When the question was before the
Prussian diet an effort was made by
Chancellor Won Hohnlohe to amend the
resolution SO as to leave out the re-
quirement that the call should be
on these lines, but it failed.
If the other federal German states
have taken the same position as Prussia,
the chancellor, it is held, will be virtually
pledged to vote for call on basis of a
return to the bimetallic system.
1t then remains to be determined
whether the other powers will nccept
this basis and especially what England
may do in the premises. The advocates
of an international understanding fee
that the change of administration il
England will be in the interest of the
movement and they are upon the whole
considerably encouraged over the outlook
for another conference.
