+: A man by the name Of William NJ.
Sparrow exhibited q glass jar contain
ing parasite over fifty feet long,
which he claimed had passed from his
system after taking q few doses Of
Cooper's medicine. The parasite was
alive and squirming and Mr.. Spar
row was anxious to know what it was.
When Cooper informed him that
the cause of his i'll health had been
removed, he was greatly relieved and
was profuse in his thanks to the phi
lanthropist.
Thousands Of people viewed the
parasite and expressed surprise that
such q thing could exist in the human
system. ...->....- .........
MIR. Sparrow is we'll known in this
city. He is connected with the E. Q.
Stone Ice Co., md lives at No. l845
East Twenty-Five and Halt St.
In speaking of his long experience
he said: "For long time have had
a very irregular appetite, and have
generally run down, although I seemed
to sleep fairly we'll the least exertion
would tire me and lost all ambition.
''If stood for any length Of time
Won d have dull, heavy pain in the
lower part OF my back, My memory
was poor and I had trouble with my
eyes; they we're weak and watery, and
dark specks appeared before them.
If walked rapidly or went up stairs,
l would have palpitation of the heart.
I was nervous and felt as though some
thing terrible was going to happen
most OF the time. If stopped over,
felt dizzy. My tongue was coated
aud after eating, my stomach would
bloat and distress me-" So
''My father, who has been suffering
from Bright's disease, had been TAX
ing Cooper's treatment and had i'm
proved so wonderfully that he ad-
vised me to see what Cooper could do
for me. Iwrote him of my condition
and began taking his medicines. I
had only taken few doses when that
frightful thing passed from my sys-
tenn. 1 know it has caused all my
trouble because I am feeling so much
better. This man, Cooper, has the
most. remarkable medicine II ever
heard Of. . Mr. William Orr, of No.
1926 Humboldt Ave. North also ex.
hibited an immense parasite 80 feet
long that had been expelled from his
! system by Mr.. Cooper's medicine.

Minneapolis, MINI. Especial. Eek.
citement over the marvellous cures OF
the Great Cooper continues unabated
One of the largest crowds that has
yet called upon the noted Philanthro-
pist visited him yesterday and q re-
markable demonstration Of his power
was given before the entire audience,
Selecting an elderly gentleman, whom
he noticed carrying an ear trampet.
Cooper motioned for him to come for
ward. He poured few drops of a
peculiar, liquid into the mans ear and
then rubbed them softly for a moment.
Stepping quickly backward to dist
ance of sixty feet, he said in an ordi-
nary conversational tone, "Can you
hear me?" A look Of surprise and
delight spread over the mans face as
he answered, Eyes, I hear you per-
fectly'
How this remarkable work was &C
complished would be difficult to say,
but it seemed certain that there could
have been no subterfuge in the results
accomplished, to those who were eye
witnesses of the expressions on the
faces of these people at the first sound
of Cooper's voice.
One gentleman who was present dur
ing the demonstration said:
II don't pretend to know how it was
done, but would swear that the old
man saw heard and heard distinctly,
for talked with him myself before he
left. He was as surprised as myself,
and said he was going home to show
his wife,

were treated. Mr.. Kennedy says that
he has been troubled with deafness
for long time. He also had bac
case of stomach trouble and acute dys-
pepsia, and had called to see MIR.
Cooper regarding the latter, with not
thought of being treated for deaf
ness. ''When I understood that
Cooper was treating deafness, asked
him to see what he could do for me.
Two remedies of a peculiar nature
were used, and in few minutes he be-
gan asking me questions. I was

A FALSE REPORT.

A few months ago a Medicine
Lodge paper reported that the
youngest child of Mrs. Nettie Bris-
tow, widow of the late w. G. Bris-
tow who at one time resided here,
was burned to death. The report
seems to have been false, accord
ing to the following from the Kio-
wa Journal
"Mrs. II D.. Records is in re
ceipt Of letter from Mrs. Nettie
Brlstow stating that the report that
her youngest child burned to death
was not true and she was at a loss
to know how such report got
started. The boy, however, was
burned and confined to his bed for
four weeks with his injuries, but
after that time was up and as spry
as any Of the other children.

RUSSIA IN REVOLUTION.

Russia is in the throes of reyolu-
tion which at its outbreak on Sun
day threatened to equal the histor-
ical French revolution for horror
and bloodshed. The dispatches say
the result will be that the Gar will
either be killed or will have to alb
dicate. The middle classes have
suffered much at the hands of the
tyrant and they are now up in arms
in rebellion against the govern
ment. 1t may mean constitution
or it may result in utter destruc-
tion ofthe masses. Time will tell.
It probably will bring a speedy
close to the Russo-Japan war. The
Car has now troubles of his own
and it appears that the Russian
monarchy is about to collapse.
Truly, history will repeat itself.

ment as soon as he can be received.

growing worse and is now consid-
cred dangerous. In the beginning
of his sickness DR.. Coleman pro-
nounced it insanity. He was TAX
EN- to Wichita recently for an ex-
animation and the physicians there
confirmed DR.. Coleman's theory.

REAL ESTATE DEALS.

Col. John MacGregor, through

200 acres eight miles southeast of
Medicine Lodge, last Wednesday to
w. A. Stewart, of Alva, Ok. Con
sideration $4,000. The Col. bought
this land about twelve years ago
for mere song, and the selling
price, outside Of the cost of i'm
provements, is clean velvet. Con-
sidering the present price Of land,
however, Mr.. Stewart has bar
gain.

MacGregor bought ]. w. Brown S
quarter two and one half miles east
of town, adjoining the Carey Ewart
farm on the east. He paid $4,000
for it. He will begin the erection

Mr.. Brown cleared $1,000 on this
quarter and has his crops besides,
and yet good judges of land say
that Col. MacGregor got a cheap
quarter. 1t Is an exceptionally
good tract of land and will grow
into money more rapidly than ever
after buildings are erected on it.

Samuel Stewart bought what is
known as the old Myers place north
and east of Medicine Lodge. Con-
sideration $1.Sso.oo.

STOLE TRINKETS
Two Young Misseurians Relieved Of
Their Team and Wagon % Pay Fine,
Costs and Attorneys Fees.

On Friday night two young men
who gave their names as Jay Tay-
lor and ]. F. Taylor, and who said
their home IS in Missouri about
sixteen miles northeast of Leaven-
worth, were arrested between Sha-
ron and Attica by Sheriff Haun
while they were making their
flight with lot of small articles
stolen from stables in this city.
They, in company with Mr.. Bell,
were camped several days in the
north part of town and while there
did considerable business in the
way OF going through different
barns and taking stuff and appro-
prlatlng it to their own use.
Among the stolen goods were a
horse blanket and storm robe be-
longing to DR.. |. w. Stout, fish
ing tackle belonging to G.. a. Hib-
bard, buggy whip belonging to
Senator Long and few other ar
tlcles which were not claimed
when this article was written. A
lot of feed was also missing but as
it was not found in their posses
sion, they did not have to stand
for that part of the theft.
Dr. Stout was the first to miss
his stuff. He notified Sheriff Haun
and III a few hours the sheriff had
his men. Suspicion had pointed to
them before they left town and
they were easily traced.
They were arraigned before JUS
tice Collins on Monday morning
and they entered plea of guilty to
a charge of petit larceny, and were
fined $500 and costs, amounting
in all to 1856. At first the coun-
ty attorney preferred a charge Of
burglary but after a conference
with n. Tincher, the prisoners
attorney, he consented to permit
them to plead guilty to petty lar
ceny. The young men had team
and wagon which their attorney
took in charge and advanced the
money to pay them out. The
matter was speedily adjusted and
the gents shook the MedicineLodge
mud from their heels-whether by
rail, foot, horseback or the time
honored tie pass, affiant saith not.
One Cecil Bell, 17-year- old
son of the man with whom the
Taylors camped, was also impli-
Gated. He confessed burning a
blanket belonging to George Hib-
bard and a neck-strap belonging to
DR.. Stout, to avoid being caught
in possession of them. He was
not prosecuted, but agreed to pay
for the property destroyed.
