 Alexander Dean Cooper. who was mys- teriously assaulted some time Wednesday night in the Vista Bath House, of which he was proprietor. was secretary of the German Paper Company. and was said to have been one of the heaviest holders of real estate in St Louis. His estate was valued anywhere between A.Oooeoo and s2oooeo0
 The coroner's jury this afternoon found the following verdict in the case of Alex Dean Cooper. who was killed in the Vista Turkish Bath House:
 We. the jury. find that A. Dean Coop CT came to his death. January g 1909. at s:So a. m. from a fracture of the skull resulting from a blow struck with a sledgehammer by William Strother.
 Verdict unjustinable homicide"
 A number of witnesses were examined Deputy Coroner Boogher. who conducted the inquest asked Strcther if he desired to make a statement Strother replied that he had been advised by his attorney not to make any statement Mir. Boogher then asked Strother if he would identify the signatures on the separate pages of his typewriter confession as his own e<<<><<<%<-<%->-&-& tion of section sss of the city code. which relates to the license schedule.
 The contention of the butcher Is that the license Is discriminating and that 1t is also excessive. The schedule fixes the license of butchers doing business within the fire limits at s7S and these doing business without the limits at 50
 The dairymen claim that the schedule of license treats them unfairly. Both the Butchers Association and the Dairy mems Association have employed attor- neys who will argue the matter before Judge Feagin in the Inferior Criminal Court Hon. A O. Lane represents the dairymen and Capt J. E. Webb the butchers. City Attorney Edward D. Smith will represent the city. The cases have been continued until Tuesday morning to allow all parties to get ready for the hearing.
 MT. Lane, representing the dairymen. stated to Judge Feagin yesterday that a new license schedule had been drawn up which was more equitable than the pres ent one. and that it would be submitted to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen later on.
 The dairymen claim that the schedule fixes a license of sl COW. and that this is unjust as they do not sell all the milk from their COWS in Birmingham; that there ought to be a fixed amount charged for license as in other trades.
 A number of defendants were tried before Judge Feagin yesterday for not taking out licenses In several instances defendants had taken out licenses since their cases were docketed. and they were released on payment of costs.

Catarrh usually starts with a cold in the head and if left unchecked in this climate. rarely gets well of itself.
 As fresh cold is taken the disease spreads, getting deeper and deeper, creep ing along the mucous membranes from nose to throat. from throat to windpipe. from windpipe to bronchial tubes and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
 The mucous membranes all connect, one with another. Hence it Is easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This is why catarrh in the head soon affects the throat and finally the stomach itself. bringing on chronic catarrh of the stomach. which is a most obstinate form of dyspepsia
 Everybody is now well agreed that ca tarrh is a blood disease and not a local one, and the attempt to cure by local applications simply gives temporary re- lief from the purely local symptoms without the remotest effect in staying the progress of the disease.
 There is a new preparation recently of fered to the public that is apparently de- stined to do away with every other form of catarrh treatment
 This new remedy is not a new secret patent medicine, but Is a large. pleasant tasting tablet composed of Bloodroot, Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree. and
 
 which are taken internally and seem to have a remarkably beneficial effect upon the blood and mucous membranes. ap- parently eliminating the catarrh poison from the whole system
 These tablets. while being pleasant. con- venient and absolutely safe to use have made cures in long standing cases of ca tarrh that are little short of marvellous. They are sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and any ca tarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers. lotions, ointments. salves. etc, and req lize their inconvenience and uselessness will fully appreciate the difference be- tween a mere palative and permanent cure after giving Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets an impartial trial
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized package and no matter where the catarrh Is located. in the head. throat. iunes or stomach. Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets will surprise you with the effective result of even few days use.

As the skin protects the outside of the body so the mucous membrane protects the cavities of the body, that is to say, if it is a clean and healthy mucous mem- brane.
 A congested or catarrhal mucous mem- brane, a mucous membrane dotted with little ulcers or spotted with canker sores, will not protect the body. Such people always have colds, are sure to have the grip and would acquire any contagious disease that is going in spite of all anti septics and precautions. Peruna makes dirty mucous mem- branes clean. Peruna makes diseased mucous membranes well. This not only rids the patient of catarrh but fortifies the body against the reverses of all cli- mates, epidemics and contagious dis eases.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to pr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
 Address pr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus Ohio.

statements of the letter explained or corrected.
The coupiaint that the commission has pre-
ferred per session examiners to salar1ed stan,
failing to make a reform which the ASSOCIATION
particularly favors elicits the reply that the
commission likewise favors 1t and is gettng 10
il as fast as 1t has felt il could without inter
fering with IFS work by the change. Instances
of the need for the special examiners whose
large bills had been particularly criticised are
given Tho commission also makes forcible
answer TO the figures in the open letter CON
corning anpeals and reratings, declares that the
associations statistics are wrong, and explains
the reasona hIeness of some of the reratngs.
The reply also charges suppression in the open
letter of parts of the record and the quotation
of phrases from appeals which made the grant
ing Ct them look like favoritism- A brief &C
count is also given of the constructive work OF
the commission and the reforms 1t has lnst1-
tuted.
1t may well be that the administration OF the
Civil Service law has not come up to the expec-
tations of those who are particularly devoted TO
the reform and especially watchful of that de-
partment of the government That is likely 10
be the case in every department The assoda-
tion can doubtless find many things justly sub
ject to criticism. Nevertheless we do not tnlnk
n has beIped the cause of Civil Service reform
nv this open attack upon the work of an admin
fstration which is as much in sympathy with
the reform as any it is likely to see. Every
Civil Service reformer will admit without hesl-
tation that there has been vast Improvement
on what preceded, but because perfection has
not been reached the association hastens TO
make an open attack. When it attacks it does
so with mass of complaints no one of which
is important enough TO arouse public attention
In favor of reform, and serves only 10 lodge In
the mind of the thoughtless one more impress
sion that reform administration is unsatlsfac-
tory; and now, unless we are to suppose that
the commission is utterly ignorant Of the facts
about its own department, it appears that most
of the critics figures are wrong. That was not
an essay in constructive reform.
