ed, and that 1t would be contrary to
public morals to permit them to stand
In position where there would be a
constant temptation for them to change
the character of the property they thus
held In trust; and, second, that IL the
elevator men were permitted to act In
the dual capacity of trustees and deal.
ers I'm grain they would possess such
advantages. as would enable them to
soon drive all other buyers out of the
market and thus give to themselves a
monopoly of the grain trade of Chicago.
and enable them, to certain extent. to
fix the price of grain in the Chicago
market: for they could then. by cOmbi-
nation, agree on the price. and by rca-
son Of their enormous storage capacity
they could withhold or throw on to the
market at any time vast quantities of
wheat, and thus depress or raise the
market at pleasure, which would not
be SO II there were many owners. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, and that court sustained Judge
Tuley, and, In long and able opinion,
expressly held that It would be against
public morals and against public pol.
Icy to permit the public warehouse men
OF this State to carry on grain busl-
ness In the same warehouse in which
they keep their customers grain.
But In the meantime the warehouse
men secured the passage Of law
which permits them to do the ,Ary
things which the courts had held to be
against public morals and against pub.
lie policy. The elevator people stand
together. They have an agreement not
to Interfere with each others business.
The moment a busliel of wheat goes
Into their warehouses they are entitled
to two cents storage. When an outside
buyer offers 20 cents bushel 1t will
cost him q cents. The warehouse men,
by giving up a little Of their storage
charge. can offer Il cents, and thus
drive the outside buyers out Of the
market. This done. the market is nj
the mercy Of the warehouse men. The
effect of this legislation. therefore. Il to
create a monopoly ana place all that
section Of country which in grain mat.
ters Is tributary to this city at the mer-
lcy Of combination Of elevator owners
In Chicago. This combination can eas.
ily combine with others elsewhere. 80
that this legislation lays the founda.
tlOn for a grain trust that will draw

The question now Is. members Of the

approval? VIII YOU vote to sustain 1t,
or will you vote for its repeal?'

mOralized Now.
Missouri Pacific Knocks the
Bottom Out.
5 CENTS PER
100.
Rock Island Establishes a Cab
Service.
Notifies Chicago Passengers to
Watch For the Red Caps.

Kansas City, April 20.-Freight rates
are completely demoralized now. There
ts not a commodity that is stable and
contracts are being written for extend
ed periods. West bound freight rates
are as badly off as those applying in
the other direction. It is reported on
the street that the Burlington and Wa
bash have signed contracts to run until
lake navigation closes at 95 cents, 80
cents and 60 cents for the first three
classes, whereas tariff rates respective
1y are $147, $1.20 and 80 cents.
AS a result of the war opened on the
Wabash by the Santa Fe and the
bright prospects that the Wabash
would win out with flying colors, the
Missouri Pacific has been forced into
the fight, and it has gone under every
cut yet made. Instead of restoring rates
from 10 cents to 1872 cents, as it was
agreed should be done today, the Mis-
souri, Pacific yesterday notified all COM
mercial agents that the rate to st. Louis
and Carondolet would be cut to cents
on packing house stuff.
The rate is to be used as a basing
rate, and on freight from Wichita 6
cents local is to be added, and from Lin
coin, Neb., 8 cents per 100 pounds. The
rate does not apply to intermediate
points. 1t is to go into effect on Sat
urday, which is just the requisite time
to get notice to the interstate commerce
commission.

A Variety of Diseases All Cured Sim
ply by Applying His Wonderful
Remedies to the Eyes

The list of difficult cases which Pro-
fessor Samuels has cured in Topeka
grows larger day by day. If one ac-
count of each was put in the newspa-
per, people would be astonished at the
size of it. Below are the names of
some well known people who have been
treated for various diseases. No ac-
count is taken of people who have been
simply fitted with glasses.
F. G. Downey, attorney, 26 Colum bian
the best oculist in Kansas City claimed
there was no help for the other eye.
He now sees with both. Prof. Sam
uels did it.
VIM. Foster of Pauline, Kans., was
troubled with cataract growth on his
eyes; was cured by our method Of
treatment, by absorption.
Mr.. A. TrOup, of Troup'S Enterprise
had been treated for nine months and
was getting no better. He called on
Prof Samuels and was cured in six
weeks of catarrh and sore eyes.
Mrs. Warner, wife of Councilman J.
s. Warner had been suffering for sew
eral years with a bad case of sore eyes.
She had tried several doctors and most
of the so-called OculiStS in town, but
got no relief. She was induced to try
Prof. Samuels and after two months
treatment she was entirely cured. When
Mr.. Warner settled for the glasses he
remarked that he never paid out money
more cheerfully in his life.
Mr.. j. H. Bevelle, Topeka manager of
lHS w SSlSfA OHlOn 1el6STapn
was suffering with graunlated eyes and
also catarrh. He treated for % months
with what he supposed to be the best
oculistS with no Improvement. In so
days under Prof. Samuels he was cured.
Mr.. Pigg, proprietor of the ST, Mich
olas hotel, had his daughter treated by
the SO-called best OculistS of this city
until she was made entirely blind In
a short time after taking her to Prof
Samuels she was cured by his way of
treating.
go Lumber company, at Third and
Jackson streets, was entirely blind.
The best oculists in the city claimed
that no human being could make him
see. But he is now cured by this Won
derful method and now sees we'll.
Ten years ago Mrs. E. p. Baker of
North Topeka was suffering terribly
with neuralgia. Everything in the way
of doctors and medicine was tried, with
no results. She called in Prof. Samuels

Governor Felt Writes.

For years the gradual loss of eyesight
has caused me unmistakable annoyance.
During that period it was my misfor-
tune to purchase glasses that were an
absolute failure. Some time since got
glasses of you, and although the work
required of me since purchasing them
has been unusually hard, yet it has sur
prised and gratified me to learn that
my eyes seem stronger and my vision
clearer than for many years before.
A. J. FELT,
Lieutenant Governor and present Edit
or of the Atchison Champion.
Both Don and Lucille Mulvane have
been fitted with glasses by Prof. Sam
uels and recommend his work very
highly.
Mrs T Crouch, who is a dressmaker
at 1890 Polk street, suffered for six or
seven years from bad case of catarrh.
After taking various treatments she
finally decided to try Prof. Samuels.
After three months treatment the ca
tarrh was entirely cured, and although
that was three years ago it has never
returned.
Robert Inman, son of Major Henry
Inman. was for some time almost blind.
He tried oculists and doctors without
number. After treating with Prof. Sam
uels a few weeks his eyes were not only
cured, but his general health and ap-
pearance was so improved that many
of his most intimate friends hardly
knew him.
1t is useless to add more. Professor
Samuels treats all kinds of diseases
through the eyes only. Office COG Kan

NO FAITH IN SPIRITS.
Santa Fe Informs Its Engineers to
Quit SpiritUalism or the Road.

Hereafter engineers on the Santa Fe
who believe in Spiritualism must be
careful and not disclose their belief.
Last fall quite an excitement ragged
among the railroad men of the eastern
and western divisions of the Santa Fe
over the messages they received
through mediums supposed to come
from the spirit world Several engi-
neers received warnings not to take
their engines out during certain periods
lest they should meet with some acci-
dent. Others were to run slowly over
certain parts of the road. Others saw
warning lights on the running boards of
their engines and one engineer used to
see a light in the Nortonville cut. The
engineers and others were continually
receiving messages and warnings.
1t was thought by the officials of the
road that spirit messages were some
times followed closer than trains orders
and just before Master Mechanic Geo.
Smith left Topeka he called several of
those interested in spiritualism into his
office and told them that if they wished
to continue on the road they must drop
spirits and messages. Since that verbal
order was made not a word of Spirit
ualism has been heard along the line.
