MIRRORS OF
THE SOUL"
Cross eyes Strengthened
by the Use Of Glasses.
A Remarkable Case Treated By
Professor Samuels--- Dreadful
Effect of Poisonous Drugs---A
Warning and an Object Lesson.

The eyes have been aptly called "the
mirrors of the SOUL" and certainly next
to the soul they are the most valuable of
all mans possessions. The wonderful
results that have been and are being &C
complished in cases of strabismus. or
"cross-eyes," by Prof Sam1els are little
short of miraculous and have excited
widespread attention, not only on the
part Of those having friends so afflicted,
but of the members of the profession
generally. Prof Samuels has always
claimed that child or E grown person
having "cross-eyes" could have them
Strengthened and the physical defect
completely rsmedied by the use of
glasses, if the case was properly handled,
and here is q case in point that confirms
his theory and serves as a valuable object
lesson.
Mr.. J, D. Paxon, the well known shoe
merchant of lawrence, Kansas, took his
daughter to Prof. Samuels ten years ago
to be treated for strabismus. The pro-
fessor told Mr.. Paxon that he could
straighten his daughters eyes with the
right kind of glasses and provided her
with pair by the use of which her eyes
began TO improve, and, as anyone can
find out by writing to Mr.. Paxon, the
young lady, who is now 20 years Of age,
has as straight eyes as anyone.
A few years ago the frames of her
glasses became too narrow and she was
taken TO a Kansas City oculist, who ex-
amined her eyes with the aid of that
deadly poison, atrOphine The result
WAS the almost complete ruin of the
young woman's eyes, which are now in a
fearful condition. Mr.. Paxon brought
his daughter up to Topeka on the Fourth
of July for the purpose of again con-
sulting Prof. Samuels, and in SO doing
expressed to the professor his profound
regret that he had not taken her to
Quincy, ILL.,, to see Prof. Samuels, regard
less of the distance and expense of such
a Journey, instead of to the Kansas City
oculist Prof. Samueis will try to restore
the sight in this case, if possible, and he
will no doubt succeed.
It will be tho part of all sensible and
level headed persons to profit by this OBJ
iect lesson and the professor again warns
the people to have nothing to do with
anyone who puts drugs in your eyes and
at the same time keeps you in little
sweat box for hours, at the end of that
period of torture to be led away and rem
dered incapable of attending to business
for several days.
Anyone suffering from CROSS. eyes
should go at once and consult Prof
Samusls, who is going to make this city
his permanent home. He has saved g
great many grown persons and children
from having their eyesight ruined and
all those who have been lucky enough tc
go TO him have ever after blessed the
day they consulted Prof. Samuels. His
Office will be at the Throop hotel until
further notice.

SHOT By HIS WEE.
Nephew Of Sir Edwin Arnold Meets
Death In India.

Nephew of Sir Edwin Arnold Meets
Death In India.
SAN FRANCISCO, July GA strange
story is brought from India via Hong
Kong by the steamer City of Rio
Janeiro. The narrative tells of the
murder of J. F. G. Lester, acting
superintendent of police of Cobra, by
his wife. The woman makes excuse
for her terrible deed by explaining
that her husband was most brutal to
her and in a moment of passion she
seized a rifle and shot Mr. Lester
through the back, killing him instantly
Peculiar interest is taken in the case
because of the prominence of the prin-
cipals- Mr.. Lester was nephew of
Sir Edwin Arnold and the son of an old
Bombay general, and Mrs. Lester is
the daughter of Colonel Braham, an
old Indian campaigner.

Amount of Sugar Imported.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Worthington
c. Ford, chief of the bureau of Stats
tics, has returns on the imports of
sugar at all the leading ports of the
United States receiving that article.
The returns from San Francisco are
not yet in, but they will not materially
modify the question of duties, as nearly
all sugar coming through San Francisco
is of Hawaiian origin and therefore
entered free of duty. The six ports
give a total Importation of S53, 567 ,945
pounds, valued at So, 851, Cos. The i'm
portation is, therefore, much less than
in the month of May, which is much
less in quantity than the imports made
in June, 1894, and only about one-half

TRUNK MURDER MYSTERY.

1t Is Cleared Up by the Finding of the
Mutilated Body of John F. seljan.
OMAHA, Neb., July e.-The trunk
murder mystery which had disturbed
all Omaha since Tuesday was cleared
up last night, when the frightfully
mutilated body of the victim, John f.
Seljan, was found in the river, and
the prisoners first arrested, Mato
Mikan and wife, Anton Buckovitz,
John Urban and John Drubnitz were
formally charged with the murder
The prisoners still refuse to talk, but
the police expect confession. The
police struck a trail of blood, slight,
but sufficientto be easily do ~cted and
followed it below the city where the
body had been cast into the river.
It was found in an eddy short dis
tance below the scene. The throat was
cut from ear to ear, the head smashed
in with an ak, and other parts of the
body were frightfully lacerated. It is
now believed that the man was sur
rounded by the murderers, and resist
ing, was slowly hacked to pieces.
