Colonel Cooper possessed the warm
est of hearts and his charities extend
ed on all hands. What he had was
for all. and he never refused those IN
need and often through his exceeding
generosity made himself poor.
Never until the looting of the FIRST
National Bank Of Dover, in 1897, was
there ever a word said against Colonel
Coopers honesty-his word was MS
bond. and his contracts were made 70

and the trials which followed are
fresh in the minds Of the people OF
this state. and need not be retold Al
though the trial of Colonel Cooper re-
suited in his conviction and sentence

No man in so unfortunate eircum-

having a host Of true friends. Ills
friends stood by him to the last, be-
cause they loved him as a man ana
because they believed him innocent
of the charge of which he was CON

from the President doubtless has
tened his death, for even an honest
heart cannot stand the strain OF caL
umny heaped high by a relentless and
reckless prosecution. What the Pres.
ident failed to do, death has kindly
done. and now Colonel Cooper stands

gloom over the whole state and a gen.

Mr. Cooper was an intense partisan in

his inborn eeniality and good fellow
