Tacoma Publishers TO ORGANIZE.

One Of the first fruits OF the Seattle Print
ers' and Publishers Association has been
an awakened interest among the proprle-
tors Of Tacoma Publishing houses. Last
week a representative Of the organization
here visited that city and laid before the
leading firms the advantage Of united ac-
ton. and already active preparations have
been made for a Tacoma combine. Il is
understood that all the printers and pub
iishers in that ely have agreed 10 organ
iZe. and that a committee is now formu-
la-.ng a scale substantially the same as
the one in force here. with an understand
ing between the two associations that the
publishers could make their black lists effec-
tive, and no longer would be victimized by
professional d~ea9heats.

HERE They ARE.
GO ASK THEM IF THEY HAVE BEEN
BENEFITED.
IF Y on Know Something of Impor-
lance to Suffering Humanity
You Ought to Tell It.

Good people at times take great pleas
ure in allowing their names to be used
in print, that others may derive benefit,
because they themselves have suffered
and been cured. AS Mrs. George Lille
said, at was on account of Mrs E. 2.
Baker giving her experience of how she
was cured by Prof. Samuels of her neu-
ralgia after everything else had been
tried, and seeing other testim onials TIL at
l was induced to try him"
The people of Topeka ought to feel
proud that they succeeded in bring in e
such wonderful man tolTopeka to live
The beauty about Prof. Samuel's work is
that in short time after his remedies
are used the glasses may be laid aside rs
Mrs. Lille said. 81 go many days with
out them and yet now l am a we'll
woman" Take also the case of Paul
Hudson, who obtained glasses of Prof.
Samueis about five years ago. He sell
dom ever wears them now, and yet he
uses his eyes constantly. MIR. Doolittle
of the Throop hotel, obtained glasses of
Prof. Ssmuels five years ago and he
hardly ever uses them now, Also, Mr.
Ii. J. Wingart of the Capital office also
suffered with his eyes and head. Prof
Samuels fitted him few months ago
and he is now cured and has laid his
glasses aside. Still another case in point
is that of Miss Sprague. sister of the
janitor of the postotfice. She had worn
glasses for six years when she called on
Prof. Samuels. Since taking his treat
ment she has been able to lay them
aside. And so on through hundreds of
such cases we could mention.
Let this be a lesson TO a great many
people who are suffering with bad eyes
1t is cheaper to see a good optician than
man or person who does the com
munity a great deal more harm than
good. Prof. Samue1s positively cures
nervous trouble through the eyes with
his own secret remedies. He can be
found every day at his office, 616 Kan
sas avenue, over the Hub Clothing store.

listed III the Fourteenth New Hamp
shire regiment, of which he became colo
mel il j SG4 He served for a time as
acting assistant adjptant general on the
staff of General Phil Sheridan, and in
March, 1865, resigned from the army.
Not long thereafter he was admitted to
the New Hampshire bar and removed to
Massachusetts, where he secured a lucra
tive practice and served two terms in
the state senate, i'll 1871 and 1872. His
good work as legislator attracted Gov
ernor Washburn attention, and the
governor, unsatisfied with the work OF
the state labor bureau, asked Wright to
take charge of it and ascertain whether
OF not the bureau had any excuse for
being alive.
Wright relinquished practice worth
about $4,000 year with reluctance,
but he soon became Ease mated with the
work, and the results of his investiga
tions were so we'll appreciated that he
held the Office for Is years. In 1880 he
was appointed supervisor of the United
States census in Massachusetts, and five
years later he was made the first COM
missioner of labor in the interior depart
ment, Washington, with a salary of
$4,000 year, which has since been in
creased to So, 900. His published reports
on convict labor, industrial depression,
strikes and lockouts, factory systems
and kindred subjects form in themselves
a library of no mean proportions.
