GOOD WORK GOES ON
Another Remarkable Cure By
Professor SamueIs.
A Complication of Diseases All Cured
by Application Through
the Eyes.

The fact that Prof. Samuels has not
been publishing his cures lately is no
indication that he has not been per
forming them. On the contrary, the
good work still goes on, and the list
of his beneficiaries grows larger day
by day. But the following case is so re-
markable, and was cured in 50 short
time, that he has decided to publish it
to the world. Besides, he believes the
public ought to be interested IN the
good work he is doing.
Messer Smith of Leavenworth county
lives with his brother-in-law, Mr.
Thompson, at 434 Liberty street, To-
peka. He came to visit his brother ard
sister, but was in such physical condi-
ton that there was little pleasure in it
for any OF them. He was not only sick.
but might be termed a physical wreck
In the first place, he was almost blind
so nearly so that his sisteS had to lead
him around. He suffered from a con
slant bacSache, and a splitting he2u-
ache almost drove him mad Besides
this, his bowels were inactive, and his
kidneys were in the worst condition
imaginable.
In this condition his sister brought
him to Prof SamuelS for treatment two
months ago. She said at the time that
he vas in such misery that he had
threatened to commit suicide. and she
had become so alarmed that she had
taken ms revolver ana MO II Tor rear Ne
would carry his threat into execution.
Put life is brighter for him now His
eyesight has returned so that he can
now read the finest print; his pains and
aches have all vanished, and his bowels
and kidneys are cured and doing their
duty properly. He is now well man
and, remember, this remarkable cure
was performed by simply applying Prof.
Samuels' famous remedies to the eyes.
The character of these remedies are
known only to Prof. Samuels and he
positively refuses to divulge them His
office is at 6O6 Kansas avenue, up stairs

HAD SEEN HIM
Bot they Could Not Tell How
He docs Things"

Two women stood near the transfer
station waiting for a West-bOund car
Evidently they had been shopping, for
their arms were comfortably loaded with
packages.
He read my palm, and to me he ap-
peared as though he were inspired
Il thought you didn't believe in such
things % suggested her companion.
Neither do L; but my husband had
consulted him and he told him so many
things about his business affairs
changes to be made and the like-that
Harry her husband
just insisted on my going, and do you
know-he told me almost identically the
same thing as he told my husband. He
told me all about that Horton affair
and dear Tne-he spoke about our finan-
cial matters, and. o! don't know; he's
just simply wonderful. Simply wonder
full
''WeH'-and her companion hailed a
car. He diagnosed my disease for me
and 1 am now taking his nerve treat
ment, and do you know never felt
so strong and well in my whole life.
I think his remedies more wonderful
than his powers to tell things. There
goes my car
All this time Prof. tombstone sat in
his business rooms at 519 Harrison
street, and his ears didn't burn. The
same thrOnE was there-or rather
throng of different patrOns-some wait
ing to have their palms read others
left with nerve remedies and occasion
ally a member of the legislature could
be seen-but Prof. Johnstone's ears
didn't burn. He-Was too busy.

RICE THROWERS
They Invade the Court House and
Startle Verdant Groom.


Victor Vanderwalle of Pauline, Kan.
and Charlotte Mitchell of the same
place never heard of the rice throwing
fiends. If they had they would have
been married in some secluded place.
They appeared at the office of the
probate judge this forenoon. The young
man could not talk English so his
"blushing BRIDE acted as interpreter.
Probate Judge Dolman told them that
he was the man they wanted and after
a record had been made they stood up
and the necessary words were spoken.
Mr.. Victor Vandewalle, benedict, depos-
tied a So bill in the hands of the ex-
pectant official and then led his bride
from the courthouse. AS they passed
the outside door and went into the fresh
air Victor wiped his brow and then
beamed upon his new wife. He had not
completed the beaming process when a
young lady heaved a handful of rice
straight at the eyes of Victor He drop
ped the arm of his bride and rent the
air with such a Shrek would be ex-
pected from a man who was about to be
assassinated. Another handful of rice
went down his back and he ran. After
he reached the street he looked back
and shook his fist and the things he
said in German would not bear trans
latiOn.
The rice throwers were some of the
young women employed at the court
house who planned a surprise.

to get the man sent to the poor farm.
He is a heavy drinker and broken in
mind and body. He refused to go and
lived in a deplorable condition with not

he took the clock he went to Rain and
said he would bring it around in a few
days. From time to time some who
knew him would urge his going to the
poor farm but he would refuse.
Il must finish that clock" was the
reason he gave and to put that clock
in running order was his sole ambition
save getting liquor.
Regularly once. a month he would go
to Rain and say that the clock would be
finished soon.
Last week he took the clock to Rain
and pronounced it in good running or

year Then he informed the police that
he had finished the clock and was ready
to go to the poor farm.
Bryant's home was originally in New
York. When he came to Topeka, 20
years ago he was employed by James B.
Hayden and was considered one of the
best wOrkmen in his line that ever
worked over a jewelers. bench. He
drank and finally became a confirmed
drunkard. Two years ago he was Of

RAN INTO A BIG MAN.
Collision in Which the Car Was
Smashed but the Man is Unhurt

The worst collision that the city railway
has had since the Fourth street car ran
into a Missouri Pacific engine occurred la st
night on the Lowman Hill Line
Frank Hendricks. a policeman weighing
go pounds. stepped OFF a WestbOund car,
and eastbOund car No. 81 ran into him.
The collision did not hurt the policeman.
but it stove in the front vestibule of the
car and broke the upright oak piece, four
inches square.
When the car ran into the engine a rule
was made that all cars should stop and
that the bell must be rung before crossing

to be made to fit the case Of heavy
weight policemen.
