An Interesting Chat With a Lsader
in His Profession.
Prof. SaInueIs Relates a Few Facts
Concerning His Long and
Successful Treatment
of Eyes.

"Professor is it fact that you never,
under any circumstances, use knife in
your extensive treatment of the eyes?
asked reporter of Prof. Sam
uels when he had finished examining
bad case of cross eyes few days ago.
"My dear sir. a surgeons knife has no
use for me whatever. and l have much
less for it. l don't believe there has ever
come to me case that could be handled
better without than a knife. If there
are such cases, they are so rare that no
person can afford to make a practice of
eye-cutting. My dear sir did you ever
stop to consider what a sensitive organ
the eye isl"
The reporter confessed he had given
the matter very little serious considsra-
ton.
Now, to give you an idea of what 1
mean" continued the professor, lust
hold your eyelids apart and touch the
ball with your pencil The slightest
touch is almost UNDESIRABLE. This shows
that the eye is one big ball of nerves
little muscle aud much nerve. Now,
when an oculist uses the knife in the
eye, what does he do? In order to sever
one small muscle or tendon he disturbs
a large section of the nervous structure
of the eye ball. And when a nerve is
once severed it will never grow together
again as evenly as a bone or a muscle

that it is next to impossible not to cut
more than you intended to cut"
"rhen you believe it is more often the
nerves than the muscles that become
deranged in the eye?"
81 certainly do. In all machinery the
most delicate parts are the first to break
down. So with the eye. Ninety-nine
times out of every one hundred when an
eye is out of order it comes from the
nerves. Then why go to slashing the
muscles?"
How about crossed eyes?" ventured
the scribe.
"That is one of the rare cases where
| the muscles and not the nerves are de-
| ranged. But am curing crossed eyes
| every day more quickly aud more sue
cessfully than any man can do by the
use of of the surgeons knife. It is
| done by constant pull at the muscles,
| through the use of the proper glasses.

cases might be sighted that you or any
one else might Investigate for your
self.

brought to me with very badly crossed
eyes, and l gave her glasses. She out

AMONG THE RAILROAD MEN
Winfield to Have a New Depot
Soon.
NOTES ABOUT KANSAS RAILROADS.

Personal and miscellaneous Items
Along the Lines Relating to Omci ais
and Employees.
W. Littlefeld of the legal department
of the Santa Fe has returned from Win
field, Kan, where he went for the pur-
pose of attending a hearing before the
state board of railroad commissioners in
reference to the construction of union
depot by the Santa Fe at that point.
Some time ago the citizens of Win
field presented a petition to the railroad
commissioners asking that the Santa Fe
be compelled to provide better psssen-
ger accommodation at their depots in
that city or construct a union depot. At
present there are three depots under the
control of the Santa Fe at Winfield, the
ST. Louis s. San Francisco, the main line
depot located in South Winfield, and
the Southern Kansas branch depot
located in North Winfield. Four lines
enter that city, the main line, Frisco
Southern Kansas branch and the Flor
ence, Ell Dorado & Walnut Valley branch.
When the Santa Fe road built into
Winfield they secured a right of way
about 300 feet in width and $500 feet in
length from the owners of the land by
entering into contract to perpetually
maintain depot on that g ound, and &C
cordingly located their III line depot at
that point Although at the time that
the petition was presented to the com
missioners, the company was willing to
construct a union depot, the location of
the old depot was not suitable, and the
existing contract proved serious
hamper This has now been settled sat
isfactOrily and union depot will be
built. Further action will be postponed,
however, as requested by Mr.. Littlefeld,
until after the sale of the Frisco.

he said it is possible that he will at the
end Of his term ask the legislature to
abolish the Office.
Speaking of Mr.. Birds remarks on this
subject the Standard says:
1.-The commissioner said that he had
been one of the first promoters of the
idea to establish the Office of labor COM
missioner; that it has cost the state now
about $4,000 but he could not say it had
been much of a success. If it does not
prove to be more of a success at the end
of his term, March, 1897, he will feel
like recommending that it be abolished
"The reason it has not been of more
benefit is because the working people
have not been united in anything they
want. He urged upon the audience the
necessity of organized effort"
