AGAIN AT WORK
The Remarkable Experience of a
Prominent Colored Man.
After Losing HIS Position ON Account
OF Blindness RE is Restored by
Prof Snmuels.

Many white people and a majority of
she cOlorsd people ia Topeka are &C
uuai1ted with d. 9. Sales, known as the
veteran lum herman, now in the mploye
a1 the Chicago Lumber company and
living 81 their yards at 235 Jackson street
he has handled lumber on and near that
corner for the LAST fifteen years, which
entities him 60 be called a pioneer in the
business.
But he has had scrofula all his life.
He told the reporter that every cent he
had made outside Of bare living had
been spent in trying to accumulate"
health One Of the effects of this dis
ease was that thirteen years ago his
right eye became entirely blind. There
appeared to be nothing wrong with the
parts Of the eye, but the light was entire
BY shut out by a thick msmbrancs that
coated the ball. Luckily for the owner
oulv one eye was thus affected, tbs other
being reasonably good.
But last Christmas Sales took a layoff
TO rest awhile, which for time cost him
the sight of the other aye also. To the
reporter he related that he started in to
spend his vacation reading, but al the
end of two or three days had to quit on
account e. pains ia his eye. The pains
continued and hs soon discovered that a
"scum" was forming over 10 similar to
the one shat had shut cut the light from
the otner eye so long ago AND with the
other ailments came also q severe fever
A prominent Topeka oculist was sent for
but the best he could do was to relieve the
fever, the membrancs continuing to
grow rapidly during all his treatment
or course he could net resume work
aa his eye soon became SO bad that he
could barely discern a moving form with
out being able to make any distinction
whatever between different objects. He
said, '1f an object passed before me /
knew something was moving, but didn'
know whether il was a load of hay or d
threshing machine, and I hardly know
what I should have done had it not been
for the generosity of the people I work
for, as they continued to let me havr
money. when it looked as if they would
never get it back again"

The rumOr reached the ears of J 81.
Stevenson. of Topeka, who Is a brother
in-law of Mr.. Price, yesterday. He was
of course greatly disturbed by the story
aud Immediately took steps to disprove
it.
He went to NJ. E. stoker, the ander-
taker, who ofhciated at the burial of Dir.
Price and air Stoker advised that the
body be Immediately exhumed and that
some friend or friends who had known
A1r. Price be taken along to view the
\ remains.
This was done and Mr.. Stevenson, 1Ir.
/ Ssoker and Charles S. Elliott, who was
an intimate friend of Mr. Price. went
! out late yesterday afternoon in Mr.

The vault is large and handsome one

Tie big iron door was unlocked, the
marble slab was removed from the cata-
comb and the cask6I taken out and plac-
ed on the floor of the vault.
ID was opened by Dir. Stoker.
The casket was a perfectly air tight
one and the body was in q splendid state
/ Of preservation with the exception that
the eyes had fallen slightly.
Both Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Stevenson
! Immediately declared that the body was
that of Mr.. Price without any doubt
whatever and the casket was sealed up
/ and pat away again.

Finally about six weeks ago he was
Induced TO Try Prof Samusls, and when
he first called be had to be led along the
street aud up the stairs just like any
other blind man. Prof Samuels pro
nOuncsd it a very bad case but decided
to undertake it, knowing if he could do
him no good he would d 10 no harm.
'At the end of three days said Sales,
- saw that the medicine was doing me
good and I have continued TO improve
ever since. The scum has gradually
cleared away and now can see as we'll
as ever"
Gle is again at work delivering Ium-
Der and filling out orders just as usual.
But more than this, he has been using
the medicine On the other eye also. IL
has now sufficiently cleared away to dis
tinguiah light and moving objects al
though it had been in total darkness for
thirteen years. and he believes ere long
the sight of it will be restored also
The above facts are vouched for by
the other men about the yard, particu-
larly BYE. B. II. RemleY, whose position as
foreman, gave him ample opportunity to
become Intimately acquainted with all
the facts in the case. Prof. Samuels'
Office is at 6O6 Kansas avenue, over the

Prospects for the Reunion and

ton for Entertaining That VIII
Bring Thousands Here.

While the Leawenworth reunion com
mittee is unable to secure quorum to
make arrangements to secure the state
G. A. r. reunion, TOpeka's committee
is having large and enthusiastic meet
fngs. Things are more encouraging
now for securing the reunion for To-
peka than they have ever been.
At the meeting of the committee last
night the following gentlemen were
present. H. NJ Phillips, Oscar
Krauss. A. NJ. Baird, John Schmidt, A.
J. Arnold. J. G. samuelson, D. J.
Grenwald, John Marshall. T. J. Ander-
son, c. F. DOran, c. A. Fellows, A K

1t was arranged that next Thursday
evening there shonld be a meeting in
the council chamber of the Topeka
delegates to the BelOit encampment
which is to be held April "a. 1t is at
this encampment that the question OF
the location of the next state reunion
viii be settled.
At last nights meeting Capt c. II.
Titus presented a resolution proposing
to offer the state hremen's association
$500 for a tournament in Topeka dur
ing the reunion The resolution was
adopted without an opposing vote.
The question of how the money rails
ed should be sent called UP the matter
Of economy and John Schmidt made
the following pointed remarks:
There is no use in trying to do this
things by halves. When people give
they should not think about how much
they are going to get out OF the reunion
and festival They must give because
they want to see Topeka regain the
place once held for open hearted hos
pitality. Tt is not what any man viii
make out of the reunion and festival.
That is not the thing at all. People out
over the state are complaining that To-
peka people are close and Stingy and
we must show them that we are not.
This is an advertisement for the city
and the people of North Topeka viii
receive as much benefit from it as the
people of South Topeka. The good will
be to the city at large and every one
that lives here
A. x. Rodgers said. we must have
every day full of good things and in my
opinion it should be free to every one
There must be such an entertainment
that the people Will not go away dis
appointed The visitors must not be
given an opportunity to say that they
are charged every time they turn
around"
Chairman GreenWald reported that
the committee now has on the sub
scriptiOn list $3.50 Chairman Green
valid said that there was enough more
in sight to make it over So, 900, but that
on account of this being the first of the
month, nothing had been done for a
bay or two towards increasing the list.
