KANAKA BAND CONCERTS
Small Audiences Greet Both Concerts at
the Grand Opera House.

Small Audiences Greet Both Concerts at
the Grand Opera House.
The Hawaiian band gave two concerts
at the Grand yesterday, but both audi
ences would not have made one good
audience. There were not more than 80
people on the floor at the matinee, and
the manager said it was the smallest
matinee house they had played to in
Kansas.
Liberati's cornet solos were the fea-
ture of the performance. They were
warmly received and were charming.
The playing of the band entire was we'll
received, though it is not fitted for con-
cert work. 1t has no kettle drums. or
any such instruments usually made use
of by concert organizations. The ar
rangement on the stage was peculiar,
the men forming line on each side of
the stage and at the back, instead of
being grouped as is customary. The
singing of the club was fair, but the
singing of the whole band in selections
which required it was not what the ad-
vance notices proclaimed for such
music loving race

The Eat CAPTAIN.

ST don't see what difference that can
make, :" returned the boy. "Do you mean
to contend that fat man can't DO good
soldier?''
'swell, not exactly that, my boy" ex-
plainod the old man, "but in some ways
you will find the thin man or the man of
medium build preferable. Didn't ever
tell you of my experienced"
"Never.''
"Ah, that explains your doubts, then.
You see, once had an ambition to wear q
uniform and march behind band, just
like you, and joined a company that I'M
fortunately had fat captain. No one
thought of the captain particularly at the
time the company was organized, but we
all learned to look out for such trifles
later. While we were in the arlnory it
was all right, and everything always pass
ed off satisfactorily, but when we began
to drill out of doors-ah, then we found
how serious a matter drilling with fat
captain was"
but why?" asked the boy. "You
haven't told me that YETI

moments. He'd start US out at double
time and then get SO winded himself that
he couldn't stop US. OF course we would
have to go on We were too well drilled to
stop until we received the order to do SO.
/ remember once he started us out, lost
his breath, was unable to order q halt OF
to keep up with the column, and we ran
three miles before we stopped"

the boy.

old man promptly.

were nice kind Of soldiers, you were. II

boy looked at the old man, and chasm
seemed to open up between them. They
were no longer friends. Chicago Post.

PROF. SAMUELS.
He Would Like to Have People In
Vestigate His Cures.
There Are Plenty of People in Toe
peka Who Would be Too Glad TO
Give Information.

thing last week that he didn't
believe, It was that Prof. Samuels
had been treating a certain young
lady's eyes and had done them
harm. And yet his information cana
from another doctor. But notwithstand-
ing this he didn't believe it and determ-
ined to investigate little on his own
hook. These are the facts as he found
them. A young lady living on East
Seventh street. IS the principal figure
in the story. Previous to last Thanks
giving day, which was a year ago, she
had suffered some with her eyes, but not
seriously Ga that day she and neigh
Dor were on the street when she had
sudden and severe stroke of what the
doctors called neuralgia of the optic
nerve. But no matter the name of the
disease, the result was that she could
hardly get home. She not only had to
go home but to bed Also where she re-
NAMED for more than six months. Her
condition was certainly pitiable. AS we
said, she was confined to her bed; her
eyes were swollen and infamed till they
were frightful to behold, the pain they
gave her was excruciating; but above
all she was blind; not totally, but so near
that all hopes of her recovery were
abandoned. She could not distinguish

room. 1t is hard to imagine a condition
more deplorable.
One of the prominent physicians of
Topeka began to treat her for neuralgia
of the optic nerve and no doubt did the
best he could, but that was nothing. In
fact, after he had tried all his remedies.
he told her he could do her no good and
that it was only a matter of a little while
when she would be totally blind. Finally
! Prof. Samuels' attention was called to the
case and of course he had to call at the
house to see her. Finding her in bed
and almost blind, he began his treatment
solely through the eye. and today her
friends can hardly believe she is the
same person. If it isn't case of the
| blind being restored to sightit's the next
| thing to it. She is much improved in
health, goes where she pleases alone. has
no pain in her eyes, and yesterday read
sign on building clear across block.
Happy? Well, now, wouldn't nybody
be under the circumstances? Said one
of her near neighbors: at is the
most remarkable thing [ ever heard OF.
We had no mora idea that she would be
so thoroughly cured than we had of any
other impossible thing happening. Bat
she is, and she and all of US can new r
say too much in praise of Prof. Samuels
Besides, think every body in the county
ought to know about the case so other
people similarly afflicted will know
| what to do for relief
This case proves two things, frat, that
Prof. Samuels thoroughly understands
the eyes and all their diseases as well as
their treatment; and second, that there
are physicians who are willing to resort
downright falsehoods in order to destroy
to his reputation and business.-Topeks

CHIEF ARTHUK AT HOME.
Head of the Locomotive Engineers Re
turns to America.


After an absence in Europe of six
months, President Arthur, chief of the
American Order of Locomotive Engi-
neers, has returned home.
Shortly after his arrival in New York
city he was called upon by deputation
of the local branches of the order in that
city.
II have returned from my native City
of Paisley" said he, sin Scotland, which
! visited after an absence of fifty-two
years, and strange to say l did not find it
much changed. From travelling through
Great Britain l learned that our men, I
mean our. locomotive engineers, are be-
ing paid, housed, clothed and fed better
than their English brothers. They are
also more intelligent. The Britons
work twelve hours day, which l think
enough and to spare, but l assume
our boys do the same on the trip system.
I was in Scotland when the big strike
in the Clyde shipyards began, and am of
the opinion that it is stupid affair. Be
cause the Belfast dockyard men struck
on account of real or imaginary griev-
ances, the Clyde ship builders locked
their men out"
Il suppose you have kept track of
matters in this country" he was asked,
"snd have learned about Grand Work
man Sovereign's manifesto against legal
tenders?"
YES" he replied, 81 have. It was a
foolish proclamation; very. l do not
suppose because of such proclamation
any person in the United States has re-
fused dollar of legal tender money"
