Henry S. Cooper OF Midland, Mich, to
Establish an Underwear Fac
tory in This City.
LEASES THE STERLING FACTORY.
East End Of the Big Factory Will be Util-
lied for the New IndustrV.-Some
Kenosha Men Interested.

The industrial world of Kenosha is t.
have new feature in the way of {
factory for the exclusive manufacture
of gents underwear. The leader il
the new industry will be Henry S.
cooper, an experienced manufactures
of indian, Mich, who has arrived II
Kenosha to start the wheels of the new
plant turning. A lease has been
signed by which Mr.. Cooper secures
the east end of the Sterling factory in
which the new plant will be started,
While the industry is now simply be-
ling developed there is no doubt but
that within the next few years it will
be one Of the largest industries IN the
city.
Associated with Henry S. Cooper IN
the new company are W. w. Cooper
and Charles H. Cooper, of the Chicago
Rockford Hosiery works. Mr.. Cooper
was seen this morning and stated that
at the present time the company were
experimenting, but that there was
every reason to believe that the new
industry would be complete success.
The factory will be in no way con-
nected with the Hosiery works but will
be a separate and distinct plant. MIR.
Cooper stated this morning that at
present as much as possible would be
done with the limited space secured in
the Sterling factory, but as the bust
ness is developed and expanded new
buildings will go up.
The output of the new plant will be
gents underwear at present, but IN
the future other lines of similar goods
will be added. Mr.. Cooper stated that
the machinery for the new plant was
now being shipped to Kenosha and
that it was expected that the factory
will be ready for opening by the first
day of June.
On the opening of the factory one
hundred men will be employed, and
portion of these will be skilled men
who will be brought from other cities
to take charge of the different depart
ments.
One good thing about the new fac
tory is the fact that it is locating IN
Kenosha without asking any bonuses
or favors. The men are all business
men known in Kenosha business Cir
c1es and their names connected with
the plant practically assures that 1t
will be a successful undertaking.
Mr.. Cooper who will manage the
plant, has been spending a year 81 va
cation in California, but he will move
his family to this city at once, He has
leased the house owned by Mrs. eros
venor on Park avenue and his family
will come to Kenosha within a few

days.

William DeBerge, of Somers, was
the victim of a stroke of paralysis
Tuesday, and he is reported in crlt1-
cal condition. The attack came sud
denly, and for time he lost all con-
ro1 of the muscles of his face and the
organs of speech. Hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery.
BY the explosion of a can of burning
kerosene oil, Ellen Sear1s, a
country girl, of Racine county, was
nearly burned to death, few hours
before she became a bride. The acct
dent did not stop the ceremony now
ever. and she was united to Peter
Johnson, although suffering much
from burned face, hands and arms.
DR.. John A1exa nder Dowie is IN
trouble at last as he has been sum
moned to appear before the coroner's
Jury in Chicago and give evidence IN
regard to the death of one of his fol
lowers. The coroner's inquest pro-
misses to be an exciting one and 1t is
not probable that the inquest will
establish the standing of the healer IN
the eyes of the law.

HE SAID IT. And Every Word Was Worth a Gold
 Piece.

When an old, experienced druggist ad- vises a man to throw medicine to the dogs and use good common sense and the right kind of food the advice is worth needing.
 An old friend of mine whom I knew to be not only a first class druggist, but an honest man as well, advised me, in order to cure my dyspepsia, which I had suffered with for twelve long years, and spent hundreds of dollars in order to get well, to quit meat of all kinds and make my meals on Grape-Nuts Food and cream. with cooked fruit and Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
 ''I took his advice, and in a few days great change had taken place. I was no longer troubled with pains in the side. smotheriiig spells. palpitation. and pains about the heart, and when night came looked forward to a good nights rest I was also free from headaches and sour stomach that had been with me for years before In fact I was a new man, and improved so rapidly in health that went up to 229 pounds.
 l am enjoying as good health as ever did in my life. and no healthier man can be found, firmly believe.
 During the past winter I was out of doors every day, and we had some very severe weather. Those who worked \ with me and used coffee and tea, and other kinds of liquid beverages were constantly complaining of the cold. did not suffer in the least, nor did con- tract bad cold during the entire winter
 T know lady in Pittshurg who suf- fered from dyspepsia as much as I did She was terrible sufferer. She had a deathly color, but she went on Grape Nuts Food and Postum Cereal Food Cof- fee and gained 23 pounds in less than three months She lost the greenish col or of her complexion. and now her cheeks are as rosy as a school girls. and hsr eyes bright as a dollar. d ,6

THE REPUBLICANS
 PUT OUT A TICKET
Nominate Candidates For the Constitutional Convention.
A SURPRISE WAS SPRUNG
Two Democrats Among the Nominees Will Wage an Active Campaign Against onvention-county
 and Other Committees.

The Republican executive committee meetings were held in this city yester- day and candidates for delegates t6 the constitutional convention nominated The committees represented Jefferson County and the Ninth Congressional district. The Congressional district committee nominat- ed two candidates for delegates from the district and the county committee noml- mated one candidate from the Jefferson Senatorial district and six from the county.
 The nominees are as follows:
 From the Ninth Congressional District Charles J. Allison, clerk of the United States Court, and J. w. Davidson assist ant United States district attorney.
 From the Jefferson Senatorial District Gen. Fred S. Ferguson.
 From Jefferson County-Truman H. AL drich, Charles Wheelock, D. N. Smith of Warrior, Frank Fournier of Pratt City, J. T. McEniry of Bessemer and Joseph II. Montgomery of East Lake.
 Both committees met at noon, and the diSti lNl NOHiiitlee ilS in a few minutes and adjourned. The county committee remained in session two or three hours.
 The Republicans oppose the holding of a constitutional convention and will wage an active campaign against it. The cam paign in this county will be directed by the executive committee. of which John Towers, assistant postmaster of Blrming ham, is chairman.
 The nomination of General Ferguson and Joseph H. Montgomery by the Re publicans was a surprise to most Demo- crats, as both of these gentlemen have heretofore always affiliated with the Democrats. MT. Montgomery was one of the representatives in the Legislature from this county In 1S96-97, being elected by the Democrats. and General Ferguson has always been allied with the Demo- cratic party. The Republicans claim, however, that both General Ferguson and Mir Montgomery voted for the Republi- can ticket in the last Presidential cleo ton.
 MT. Aldrich represented this district in Congress one term, having successfully contested the election of Hon. Oscar w. Underwood.

no relation in America. My dear heart stricken sister In my native land has sent me her 'all'' in order to take my case to the Supreme Court, where it Is at pres ent
 Realizing that my salvation from an ignominious and unjust death wholly de- pends on some financial aid. I throw my self upon your generosity as an innocent man and kindly ask you If you will as- sist me in stamps or silver to the ex- tent of ten cents, and also that you will mail to three of your friends copy of this petition, with the request that each in turn appeal to three more of their friends who also in their respective turn do the same leach send me ten cents), and continuing in this way making a "chain of 'letters." as it were, that will reach many people.
 Pitlous Appeal.
 l" The solemn hour of the fatal day draws near, the law demands my life for a crime of another. I with some assls- tance can prove my absolute innocence and again take my place in the world as a free man.
 It is with heart bleeding bitter tears at the injustice done me, that I make this appeal-an appeal for life and a chance to prove my innocence. Kind Sister Su- perior, grant me this request, pray to Blessed Mother and dear St. Anthony of Padua for ne that they intercede to God for me-
 The World states that Miller, who In his early life began preparations to enter the priesthood, had brother In New York years ago who was a priest, and through this brother was put in communi- cation with Sister Mary Xavier.
 First Letter Received.
 That the appeal touched the heart of the good sister is evidenced by the re- ceipt of several letters which emanated from the chain, and 1t Is within the range of possibility that within few days Miller's mail may be the largest re- ceived in Birmingham.
 The first letter received al the jail was from a woman In Cleveland, who sent a dime in reply to request which she says reached her through Sister Xavier She further states that she will do as re- quested and send letter to three friends, requesting them to do likewise. The let ter was strongly sympathetic and admon- ished the condemned man to put his trust in God, assuring him that He would save him from the terrible fate.
 All mail for prisoners is opened in the Jail office, and If Miller's scheme is sue cessful Sheriff Burgin will have a job on his hands.
