COOPER'S CHARMED LIFE.
a Genuine Dime-NoveI Career of Romance
and Adventure.

Joseph ". Cooper, who has Just died
at Albany, Ga. has led an adventur-
Gus life. When fifteen years old he
ran away from school and joined the
Confederate army in time to assist in
! the capture Of General StOneman ut
Macon. He fought around Atlanta
and with the Dougherty Grays in Eir-
ginia. At the conclusion of the war
he went to Pittsburgh, Pa, where lse
fell in with some young sharpers, who
tried to rob him at cards. He dres
his pistol and ran them of.
He then joined the regular army ard
was sent to Fort Rice. then in the wild
West. They nearly persisted with thirs;
while on the way to Devils Lake. Re-
turning they narrowly missed death,
being surrounded By one thousand b.
diano. He, with comrade, went to tie
Black Hills. They were seen and pur-
sued by 4 party of eight Indians who
were or the warpath and narrowly cs-
caped. Under Il trapper's advice, who
provided him with fine horse, q sin
teen-shooter and a handful of ASA
fGtida, which he put into his boots, he
took his stand to attract and kill
wolves. The animals came by hum
dreds and attacked him and his horse
He narrowly escaped with his life. He
became an expert scout and buffalo
hunter. He was once captured. tied to
pole and would have been killed, but
his bonds were cut bya friendly Indian.
In August, 1865. Il large body of In
dians made 4 raid, drove back the
guard and captured several hundred
head of beef cattle. Lieutenant Cusic!l
called for reinforcements to recapture
them. Cooper ana five others re-
sponded. They were led into ambush
on small hill encompassed by 4 deep
ditch. and surrounded. There was only
one outlet which was known to Cooper.
He led them out and all his comrades
were killed. The Lieutenant stood by
him. though utterly disabled. Cooper
was knocked from his horse, and sew
eral red devils dismoulted to dispatch
him with their knives.
AS ne was well armed he kept them
at bay and managed to escape with his
officer. falling near the fort in sight of
help. In this engagement Cooper was
terribly wounded. An arrow entered
his right side and went clear through
his body. Another penetrated his left
nip and the head was imbedded there,
and it was three months before it could
be withdrawn. Cooper was cut in the
head and otherwise praised with clubs
and guns 1t was nine months before
he recovered sufficiently to resume duty.
In 1850 he rescued little Indian
girl, Yellow Flower, who had been !
wounded in the side, scalped and left |
for dead. She recovered. was sent to |
school by him and is now the wife of a /
business man in St. Paul.

covered. His brother, who, unarmed,

TANDARD JACKSON, OHIO. THURSDAY, MARCH Is. 1888.

Speaking of the Albaugh School
Bill, the Columbus correspondent of
the Commercial Gazette says: 'It is
urged in favor of the measure that it
will fix more definitely the response
bility for the management Of the
country schools and abolish the
present system of Directors" many
of whom can neither read nor write,
and consequently fall prey to and
become the plant tools Of incompetent
and worthless teachers That illus
trates about how much the city
fellows about the country. We
should enjoy seeing the writer of that
paragraph attempt to prey upon the
ignorance of Jackson County
School Director. The fact is, the
greatest ignorance and inefficiency
are generally found in your School
Boards in towns and cities. Let a
fifteen-year-old boy or girl get up be-
fore crowd Of country Directors, at
commencement" and read one Of
Ralph Waldo Emerson's Essays, and
the country Director will not throw
any flowers or go into paroxysms Of
delight over the great development of
intellect. He will remark: "H'yer,
youngster, that's beyond yer capacity.
Give US somethin' origimal-s somethin'
that shows you can think"

| am getting along very we'll with
my pension claims. I do not send

l attend to all my claims myself,

am making speciality Of Ohio claims,
and it will be to the interest Of Ohio
soldiers to correspond with me.
[ find that an Attorney living in
Washington has a great advantage
over one not living here, as he can
go to the Departments and learn
about his claims from the officials at
any time, instead of writing letters
and waiting for answers.
I only live few squares from the
Capitol, and can learn just what new
bills are being passed from time to

Deafness Can't be Cured

Deafness Can't be Cured
by local applications. as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies, Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucus lin

this tube gets infamed, you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hamation can be taken out agd this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

On last Thursday the aged Emperor

On last Thursday the aged Emperor
of Germany peacefully sank to rest,
at the Royal Palace in Berlin. Pro-
found gloom settles over Germany,
scarcely relieved by the succession to
the throne of Frederick William, now
known as Frederick III, Emperor of
Germany" The new Sovereign is
widely popular, but is himself suffer-
ing, and almost disabled, from malig-
nant cancer. The reign of the new
Emperor can be but short, at best,
when Prince William, his son may
be called to the throne. As long as
the head and front Of German politics,
Bismarck, lives, it matters little to
empire who the nominal sovereign
may be. The old Emperor, Kaiser
William, was grand old man, and
Germany may well be wrapped in sor-
row over the ending Of his long and
useful life. The new Emperor begins
his reign as the most popular man in
Germany.

Jackson County should send solid

Jackson County should send a solid
delegation for Hon. H. S. Bundy, to
the Congressional Convention. The
Republicans in the townships should
looR>eo this matter in selecting dele
gates to fhs- County Convention. The
candidates are all good men, but Jack
son County should be solid for Bundy,
and a delegation sent to Gallipelis that
will honorably strive for Mr. Bundy's
nomination. We have heard Of the
support Of Jackson County being
promised to another candidate, but
this is not worthy Of consideration.
The man who seeks to work against
Bundy's interest should be left out of
the delegation entirely. Republicans
must make no mistakes this year.

international Prize Fight"

Some months ago John L. Sullivan,
the brutal pug from Boston, went to
England to maintain the glory of
American citizenship by the punching
of heads. His 'talent" consisted in
brute strength-when not stupefed
by whisky. All England went wild
about the "big'un," for time, until
Charles Mitchell, much smaller man
proposed to 'puncture the American
wind-bag," and challenged our John.
On last Saturday they fought thirty
nine rounds, at Criel, in France. The
fight was contest between skill and
activity on the one hand, and brute
force on the other. The fight was
declared a draw, though it is claimed
that Mitchell was in much the better
condition, and had the champions
eye blacked and his mouth bleeding
In fact, had the fight gone on, the
sbig'un" would have come home
badly whipped tough. Mitchell
deserves great credit for making the
'glory' of the prize-ring a laughing
stock, and proving to those who have
been wild with admiration for the
Boston bully that a much smaller
man may dance around the wonder
and punch him with his fists until the
brute is completely out Of wind.
Before the fight, Mitchell asked
whom did Sullivan ever whip?" He
asks it yet. The sorrowful feature
about this meeting is that Mitchell
did not knock Johns head off
America has no need of such repre-
sentatives as Sullivan.

DEPENDENT PENSION BILL.
What Congress is Doing For
Soldiers of The Late War.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 7th 'SS.
Editor jackson Standard:
In the Senate yesterday, the Deepen
dent Pension Bill being under con-
sideration, Mr.. ingalls, took occasion
to reply to the remarks made by
Senator Vest some days age, and ii
being generally understood that the
Senator from Kansas was to make a
speech on this bill, the galleries were
crowded and as many members of the
House as could possibly be accommo-
dated with seats were present to hear
him. He began as follows:
Personal illusions to myself I will
pass by with but one single observa-
tion, and that is, that the nomination
and election of Grover Cleveland
have made the pretentions Of any
American citizen to the Presidency
respectable. There is no man in this
country whose ignorance is so pro-
found, whose obscurity is SO i'm
penetrable, and whose antecedents are
so degraded that he may not justiiably
aspire to Presidential nomination
by the Democratic party" Applause
and laughter in the galleries. Then
referring to Mr.. Vest as Senator
born in State which did not secede-
Kentucky-and representing in the
Confederate Congress another State
which did not secede-Missouri-but
in no wise impugnlng his sincerity in
allying his fortunes with the Con-
federate cause, Mr.. ingalls, proceeded
to criticise with great severity the
Missouri Senator's late speech on the
Pension Bill as being inaccurate in
statement and sectional in motive.
He said:
when the Senator from Missouri
alludes to the efforts which are being
made by the Republicans in this body
to afford pensions to the dependent,
INDECENT and suffering survivors of
the Union armies now enrolled in the
Grand Army Of the Republic, as an
by candidates for the
Presidency to bid for the soldier vote,
the Senator from Kentucky will
pardon me when I say that | have no
doubt speeches like those which he
made, and which the Senator from
Missouri repeated, were intended to
bid for the Confederate vote; and
they will get it every time. 1t is
center shot. Appeals like that strike
the bull's-eye and ring the BELL
Laughter and applause in the
galleries.
He also took occasion to denounce
certain Senators as "the jailers and
nurderers of Andersonville, Belle
Isle, and Libby Prison, sitting here
beneath the flag that they endeavored
% dishonor, legislating for the
country that they attempted to de-
troy, and trying to pinch, belittle,
md minimize the amount that we
hall pay to the mutilated and disabled
urvivors of the hell Of that incarcer-
tion."
He declared the policy Of the Re-
'ublican party to be to secure invalid
'ensions, dependent pensions, and
ervice pensions. until every veteran
vas on the pension roll and their
7idows and orphans provided for.
He gave notice that the Dependent
'ension Bill would pass and that the
resident might veto it at his peril.
Is I was going down in the city this
heard several men in the
erdic talking about the speech of
enator Ingalls,. It has created quite !
