The new schedule adopted by the San

changes in the running time of the
trains on the Caldwell and Hunneweh
branches Of the southern division, ap-
parently does not improve with ac-
quaintance in that part of the state
The latest move reported under way,
for the purpose of bringing the railroad
to a realization of the condition of af-
fairs, is a boycott by the merchants Of
the towns along both lines in the mat
ter of shipments over the Sanata F'e-
1t is understood that the merchants Of
Belle PLANE have already notified the
wholesale houses with whom they deal
that they VIII in the future receive no
merchandise shipped to them over that
road.
If the merchants and general public
of these towns are really DESTROYS Of
having the present schedule changed,
they would probably accomplish more
by sending g. delegation to this city to
lay the matter before the officials of the
Santa F'e than by any other means.

ways gives satisfaction to the people
along its line whenever it is within the
range of possibility

ODD FELLOWS MAY PARADE
The Oriental Pageant May Be Repeat
ed in October.


There is q movement among the lodge
men in the city to have one day set
apart at the fall festival and reunion
for the lodges.
J. NJ. Miller, who is a prominent Odd
Fellow is In favor of such an arrange
ment and he is now preparing to have
the matter considered IN the Varlous
local lodges.
AT the grand lodge meetings" said
he. the rank and file OF the mem DerS
are not admitted, and if we could have
a grand celebration where all would be
welcome and there could be a big
demonstration by the various lodges it
would be an excellent thing and, be-
lieve, would meet the approval of the
lodge members in the state and many
people would come to Topeka on that
account.
THE reunion people viii not want
more than two or three days and I see
no reason why one day could not be
set apart for the lodges"
This thing was suggested by the bril-
liant parade given by the local T. o. o.
IT. lodges on the occasion of their anni-
Versary. The Journal suggested at the
time that it would be an excellent plan
If the odd Fellows could be persuaded
to participate in the parade at the 1all
festival and this set the lodge men to
thinking
The Woodmen have already discussed
the matter in their lodges and they
have resolved to ask for q day. They
also have pretty and unique costumes
and they would help to make an at
tractive parade There are a great
many WOOdmen in the state and they
would be an important factor in the en-
tertainment suggested
Tt is thought that there viii be no
trouble in having a day set apart for
exercises by the lodges when the mem
beers of the various orders can assem-
bic and have their speeches and other
forms of entertainment. The whole
could close in the evening with q pa
Tade which would be seldom equalled-
or it might be that a section of the
big night parade of Friday. October .,
could be devoted to the secret orders.
The magnificent costumes of two or
three thousand Odd Fellows from All
over the state. illuminated brilliantly
with calcium lights and red fire would
of itself be as fine as a New Orleans
DIardi Gras display.

IT is STRANGE
But His Cures Are Real, New
ertheleSs.
Professor samueIs Could Relieve the
Insane Asylums If lie only
Had the Chance.

Prof Samuels and his wonderful work
in behalf of suffering humanity is the
talk of the town There is no DOUBT
but that Topeka possesses one of the
greatest Generators of the age To cure
all diseases through the eyes is g. Won
derful thing; still he does it, and that
right here before your eyes. Any one
can find out for himself about these
cures if he will only get on q. street car
or even walk to his next door neigh
bOrs- Topeka is not a Chicago or New
York, where one don't know the rest
of the people who live in the same
house; but in a small place like this
one can easily investigate
Prof. Samules claims that many dis
eases can be cured through the eyes If
the proper remedies are used And let
it be understood that he is the discOV-
erer of all OF his remedies-we say rem
edies for he has different remedies for
different diseases.
Medical men and medical books have
endless theories and SupDOsitiOns. but
results are what the people want and
they are what Prof. SamUels alw avs
produces People say they can't under
stand how such results are obtained
simply by treating the eyes, yet those
who are posted Will never deny that it
is done We might as well say we can't
see how people can talk hundreds
of miles over a little wire yet all know
how easy it is to converse with a friend
over the telephone.
Lately comes the wonderful results
Of the x rays, yet if any one should
have predicted such a thing a few years
ago he would have been looked upon
with suspicion at once.
Prof. Samuels makes the claim, and
let it be distinctly understood that if
he only had the chance he could take
half the people out of the insane asy-
lums sound and well in a very short
time But of course he would not at
tempt the extreme cases first. He he
Heves he could send many of them
home to their friends entirely cured
All he wants is a fair trial
