A Big Copper Mime Deal

New York, April 25.-The absolute
statement was made today by N of
the most important interests in the cop
per trade that H. II. Rogers, of the

many of the heaviest producing copper
mine properties in the United States,
including principally Montana mines
and those in the Lake Superior region.
Among them are the Anaconda, the
Isle Royalle and the Copper King. The
deal, however, is yet in an incomplete
shape, and on that account those most
interested are adverse to giving out
any details.

Do you cough?
Do your lungs pain you?
Is your throat sore and inhamed?
Do you spit up phlegm?
Does your head ache?
Is your appetite bad?
Are your lungs delicate?
Are you losing flesh?
Are you pale and thin?
Do you lack stamina?
These symptoms are proof that you
have in your body the seeds of the most
dangerous malady that has ever devas-
tated the earth-consumption.
Consumption, the bane of those who
have been brought up in the old-fash-
toned beliefs that this disease was hered-
itary, that it was fatal, that none could
recover who were once firmly clasped in
its relentless grip.
But now known to be durable, made
so by the werld-stirring discoveries of
that man whose name has been given
to this new system of treatment.
Now known to be preventable and
durable by following and practising his
hygienic teachings.
The new system of treatment will cure
you of consumption and of all diseases
which can be traced back to weak lungs
as a foundation.
1t is not a drug system. but a system
s germ destruction and body building.

up considerably during the past day or
two. Upon the police court docket
yesterday there appeared indictments
against four white women for offences

four was tried, the other three being
continued until today.
The case tried was against M " Will
hanson, proprietress of a dance hall,
on Grace street, between Front and
Mutt. She was indicted for selling
been on Sunday and the state based
it's allegation on the testimony of two
negro men, who swore positively that
they purchased beer at the saloon Of
the defendant on the Sabbath. In re-
buttal of this testimony the defendants
counsel, Herbert McClammy, Esq, in
troduced Mrs. Williamson and one John
Peterson, white, who testified that the
saloon remained closed all day Sunday
and that no beer was sold by the de-
PENDANT. In view of this testimony the
case was dismissed.
Another case on the docket in touch
with the crusade was one against a trio
of white women, Pansy DeForest, Es-
telle Gray and Grace Miller, charged
with keeping a house of i'll fame, on
Fourth street, between Church and
Castle. While they did not admit their
guilt the women asked that Punishment
from the city be their punishment.

time within which to pack their be-
