HOME FOR INCURABLEs.

To observer" is due a great deal of
credit in keeping the subject of the hos
pital for incurables before the public.
In a letter received. by the Kinau, he
shows his anxiety to push the scheme
forward, and suggests that circulars,
setting forth the needs of the institu-
ton should be sent to all prominent
people throughout the Islands. The
idea seems well worth consideration,
but there must be a committee formed
to manage such an affair. The getting
up of the circular would be an easy
matter, and funds for its printing will
be readily forthcoming, but it would
be useless to forward a circular with
out having the endorsement of proper
and weighty names.
The matter of a hospital for incur
ables should be now passing out of the
talking stage, into the stage of action
Mr.. Emmeluth came forward a short
time ago and most earnestly and lucid
ly showed the public the necessity of
having such an institution. President
Dole has taken a personal interest
George w. Smith has also shown that
such thing is worthy of deep atten-
ton. There is no reason why these gen
tlemen should not call meeting and
have the matter discussed, and put into
tangible shape. At present it still
hangs in the air.
Once beginning is made, there is no
doubt that the project would find popu-
lar support in all directions. 1t would
not only receive assistance from the
wealthy and well to do but it would
also receive aid from those to whom a
dollar is consideration to spend. 1t is
the poorer classes that recognize the
necessity of such an institution most
clearly. 1t is they who see most fire.
quently the cases of restitution and
misery which incurable disease brings
in its train, and they will readily do
their utmost to set such an institution
well upon it's way.
But success in commencing this work
will depend upon the confidence inspir-
ed by the names of those who put the
project forward, and those suggested
together with others who would soon be
associated with them, would command
that confidence.
The absence of any provision for the
incurably sick is one of the blots upon
our community. Because of it's lack
there have been cases where the unfor-
tunate has been driven practically from
door to door, and has almost died in the
street Such cases are a blot upon our
Christianity and upon our civilization,
and we should be doing our utmost to
remove the stain. AS has been said
the expense of the circulars is promised
TO be betrayed. 1t is for some of our
prominent philanthropists to take the
initiative. We are ready to do all in
our power for the gallant soldiers who
pass through here, wounded and for
whose comfort their own Government
has provided, we should display like
readiness to show kindness and tender
ness to those whom we have among our
midst, and for whom no government,
and no individual makes any provision.

TO EvADE LAWS.
Schemes Hatched to Dodge
Bush Corporation Law.
Passed at Special Legislative
Session.
A TROY MANS LUCK.
2om TohnSon Tondo q Fat I0h
Sam johnson Lands a Fat Job
Among Indians.
Attitude of Geo. Clark, Sec. of
State, ON State Paper.

One of the laws passed by the special
session of the legislature is the subject
of considerable scheming among those
who have in contemplation the organi-
cation and Incorporation of business en-
terprises under the state laws. An effort
is now being made to evade the opera
ton Of the Bush corporation law, which
was greeted with a warm welcome by
the state, because it made companies
coming into Kansas to do business I'M
der our laws pay for the charters which
they secured. But there was a special
advantage urged in connection with this
law, the claim being made that it would
shut out wildcat companies. The new
law is responsible for an effort to revive
old companies, relics of the boom and
other hapIess times, and thereby evade
the payment of the fees for charters,
which run from SIS up.
The plan to evade the law is to secure
possession of the stock of some old COM
pany, either burst or abandoned
There are thousands of such companies
recorded as chartered under the laws of
the state in the office of the secretary
of state. The promoters of new com
panieS for a nominal sum buy up all
the shares, secure the release OF all
jud gmentS, if any remain that are not
outlawed They distribute the shares
among the new stockholders, and thus
equipped they are ready for such bust
ness as is permitted by the charter or
the seemingly defunct corporation. By
this means business men" save, and
the state loses, from $25 upward in each
case, according to the capital stock Of
the company.
This is likely to continue for some
time unless some law is made to prevent
it, for the corporations are unnumbered
which were chartered under the old law
and have never been dissolved by
court of law nor by the lapse of the
time named in their charters-the only
two ways in which a corporation can
meet it's death

Prominent People Who Have
Been Cured by Prof. SamuelS.
4 Variety of Diseases All Cured Sim
ply by Applying His Wonderful
Remedies to the Eyes.

Below Prof. Samuels gives few
names of people whom he has cured by
his wonderful treatment. You may not
believe this and say you can not see
how such cures are performed by simp
ly putting medicine in the eyes. If such
is the case investigate by calling on
some or all of them.
Mr.. H. ]. BevelIe, Topeka, manager
Of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, was suffering with granulated
eyes and also catarrh. He treated for
% months with what he supposed to be
the best oculist, with no Improvement.
In so days under Prof. Samuels he was
cured.
Mr.. Pige, proprietor of the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel, had his daughter treated by
the best oculist of this city until she
was made entirely blind. In short time
after taking her to Prof. Samuels she
was cured by his way of treating.
M. S. Sales, who works for the Chi
cago 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 wonderful
method and now sees well.
Mr.. Fred Freeman, assistant cashier of
the Merchants National bank, was adj
vised to go to New York to have an
operation performed on his eyes. He
came to Prof. Samuels and was cured.
Mr.. A. Trcup, of Troup's Enterprise,
had been treating for nine months and
was getting no better. He called on
Prof Samuels and was cured in six
weeks of catarrh and sore eyes.
Mr.. Heck, bookkeeper for w. I. Miller,
lumber dealer, had been treating with
the best oculist in the city, with no re-
suits. He came to Prof. Samuels and
in a short time was cured.
F. c. Downey, attorney, 26 Columbian
building, had the use of only one eye
the best oculist in Kansas City claimed
there was no help for the other eye.
He now sees with both. Prof. Samuels
did it.
Samuel Burns, at 413 Lake street, was
suffering with spasmS and nervous
spells; seven of the leading doctors in
this city gave him up to die. 1t is
nearly four years since he came to me,
and has been enjoying good health. His
eyes were perfect but he was treated
through the eyes for the other trouble.
J. NJ. Donohue, 317 East Eighth
brought his daughter to Prof. Samuels
to treat her eyes for cataracts- The cure
was performed by absorption in a short
time. She attends ST. Mary's school in
Leavenworth and has perfect sight.
William Foster of Pauline, Kan, was
troubled with a. cataract growth on his
eyes; was cured by our method of
treatment, by absorption.
Mrs. Warner, wife of J. s. Warner,
implement dealer and at present a
member of the city council, had treated
for three years for sore eyes with the
best oculist in Topeka, with no results.
After treating less than three months
with Prof. Samuels she was entirely
cured

Pullman Sleepers Used For HO-
tells at Amarillo.
Close Connections Between the
Santa Fe and PecOs Valley
NOT YET ARRANGED.
New Santa Fe Eating House at
Las Vegas Opened.
Built After the Style of Old
Spanish Missions.

Pullman sleepers are made to do reg
ular hotel duty at Amarillo. Tex, the
connecting point of the Santa Fe and
the Pecos Valley & Northeastern rail-
way. Close connections have not yet
been established between the two lines
and several hours elapse between the
time the trains on the respective roads
arrive and depart. The Santa Fe train
which leaves Kansas City every night
at 10 o'clock arrives at Amarillo the
next night shortly before midnight, and
the connecting train does not leave Am
arillo until o'clock the next morning.
Consequently a Pullman sleeper is run
up in front of the Amarillo depot every
night and opened for passengers for
the southwest at II o'clock. In this way
they are saved the annoyance of MAX
ing early connections from the hotel to
the train.
EastbOund, the Pecos Valley train ar
rives at Amarillo at 1870 o'clock in the
morning and the Santa F'e connecting
train does not leave there until o'clock
the next morning. Another Pullman is
at the disposal of passengers going east.

Important to Mothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated by
reason of pirates counterfeiting the Cas-
toria trademark. This counterfeiting is
a crime not only against the prOprietOrs
of Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be care
full to see that Castoria bears the sig
nature of Chas. H. Fletcher, if they
would guard the health of their children.
Parents and mothers, in particular,
ought to carefully examine the Castoria
advertisement which appears on the
last page of this paper, and to remem-
Der that the wrapper of every bottle of
genuine Castoria bears the ac-sinile
signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, under
whose supervision it has been manufac-
tured continuously for over thirty years.

CAsTANEDA IS OPENED.
New Santa Fe Hotel at Las Vegas a
Fine Building.

The new Santa Fe eating house and
hotel at Las Vegas, N. M, has been
completed and opened for business. 1t
has been named the "Castaneda."
This is probably the most picturesque
building on the line of the Santa Fe.
The architecture is Spanish-American
somewhat after the style of the old Cal
ifornia missions. 1t is two stories in
height, faced with brick and rooted
with red tiles, and is built around three
sides of a spacious court which opens
upon the railroad track. The arrange
ment is such as to admit both morning
and afternoon sunshine into all the
rooms.
In circular announcing the opening
of the new hotel, General Passenger
Agent Black says it is the most COM
plete and costly of any of the Santa Fe
hotels.
