Now in Cleveland County Jail

Now in Cleveland County Jail.
When Mrs. Cassie Chadwick re-
turned TO Cleveland it was not to spin
in an automobile to her Euclid avenue
home, but 10 be taken to the county
jail.
She was not transferred from the
station to the Jail in a patrol wagon,
but was permitted to ride in a car
rage, escorted by officers of the Law.
Cleveland received Mrs Chadwick
with open arms, but not as a favOrite
daughter. 1t was curiosity that
prompted the citizens Of the Forest
City to want the notorious woman re-
turned.
Mrs. Chadwick is woman almost
alone now and in the clutches of the
law, and yet the officers Of both state
and nation seem to fear her. They do
not want her released. even for a mo-
ment, and the instant she reached
Cleveland the prosecution represent
ing both the Federal and State gov
eTnments put forth every effort to
keep her back of the bars.
In addition to the two indictments
returned by the Cuyahoga county
grand jury another has been reported.
This is based on the S5,OOO,OOO Car

day night, either, for they Tapped
over into Sunday morning an hour OF
SO. A large crowd was well enter
tanned at the opera house by a splen-
did musical program rendered by and
under the direction of Miss Kathryn
Felt, and short address on Royal
Neighbors by Mrs. Butterfeld, of
Brookfeld, until 9:15, when the speak
er of the evening, Hon. John Sulli-
van, arrived from Kansas City. Mr..
sullivan was met at the station and
escorted tothe hall by the entertain
ment committee and Captain J. L.
Carothers with his uniformed team of
foresters. Fl. j. Libby, Laclede's
bright young attorney, was chairman
of the meeting and in a few we'll chos-
en- words introduced the speaker. M.
Sullivan made good address that
had the desired effect, as eight appli-
cations for membership were taken
during the evening.
At the close of the public meeting
the Woodmen, their families and in
vited friends to the number of 200 or
more, repaired to the Woodmen hall
and enjoyed a feast of the choicest
viands, prepared by the better halves
Of the Woodmen households. The
meeting was good one and the COM
mittees having it in charge are to be
congratulated on the complete success
of the occasion.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, DEC. 15.-(Spet
ial.) The people of this city ar
greatly excited over number of re
markable cures which have been et
fected by wealthy philanthropist
who is known as the Great Cooper.
His headquarters at Wolf Wilson
Drug Store is besieged with crowds o
men and women eager to be cured o
their ills.
Cooper is quiet, gentlemanly per
son, with the appearance of a student
rather than a business man. He il
apparently about thirty-one or tvs
years of age. He first came into pub
lie notice by his philanthropic work
among the poor. The large fortune
he possesses has made it possible fol-
him to distribute many wagon loads OF
food and clothing among those In in.
digent circumstances since his arrival
in St. Louis.
The first that was known of Coop
er's power over disease was when Miss
Zelma Murphy, living at 171S Market
street, declared that Cooper, the Phil
anthropist, was the man who saved
her life two years ago, after she had
been given up to die by her physicians.
Miss Murphy had been an invalid
for five years, and had become SO weak
and emaciated that she was confined
to her bed and weighed only one hun
dred pounds, although she had weigh
ed one hundred and sixty-four at the
time she was taken i'll. Skilled ply
sicians had operated upon her five
times, without benefit, and had pro-
nounced her case hopeless. CATER
my physicians gave me up, said Miss
Murphy, "a friend persuaded me to
consult Cooper. [ had little faith, but
at last I consented to do so. In two
weeks [ was able to get out of the
house, and felt much stronger. con-
tinued to use the medicines Cooper
had advised for my case, and was soon
entirely WE'LL" Miss Murphy now
weighs one hundred and sixty-nine
pounds, and is the picture of health.
A few days after this Mrs. Anna B.
Hampton, living at 1922 Michigan
avenue, reported that Cooper had
cured her of a severe case of nervous
ness and stomach trouble with a few
bottles of a peculiar medicine.
Mrs. Hampton had been ill for
over three years. She had consulted
a great many physicians, and used
various remedies without relief. Fl
nally she decided to consult Cooper.
In week after she began his treat
ment she commenced to improve, and
is now as we'll as ever.
This was followed by the still more
remarkable cure of Capt. Casper
Gross, prominent citizen living at
2201 DeKalb street, who has been a
great sufferer from rheumatism for
thirty years, and has spent a fortune
in trying to be cured, without avail.
He suffered excruciating pain, espec-
tally at night, and was unable to se-
cure natural rest or sleep. He con-
suited Cooper. After two days treat
ment the pain stopped, and he could
sleep like child. Today he is as
well As ever, every trace of rheuma-
tism having disappeared.
The report Of these remarkable
cures few through the city ike wild
fire, and Wolf Wilson's Drug Store,
where Cooper is making his headquar-
tiers. is besieged by people suffering
from all manner of ailments.

City Is Excited Over the Remarkable
Cures Of Mysterious Man Whose
Eccentricities Are Startling.
Strange Stories Told Of Quiet Stranger Who
tributes Great Quantities Of Food and Clothing
and Cures Disease without Pay.

I The physicians of the city are anna;
ed at the work he is doing, and hav
tried to shake the wonderful infuenc
he has over the people, even going S
far as to threaten prosecution, but a
he does not accept any money for hi
services and does not give out an,
medicine himself, they have been pow
erless to interfere.
Cooper created considerable amuse
ment at the expense of the doctors by
asking them why they did not write
their prescriptions in English, so theil
patients would know what they were
taking.
Since the interest has become SO
widespread that Cooper can not meet
the people personally, he is receiving
an enormous mail, and keeps a large
force of stenographers employed in
answering it. In the meantime stories
of marvellous cures continue to pour
in.
Mr.. S. P. Hitchings, we'll known
citizen of 2115 Franklin avenue, has
been suffering from rheumatism for
over three years. His joints had be-
come so stiff and painful that it was
very difficult for him to even perform
his daily duties, as he could scarcely
use his limbs.
In speaking of his case Mr.. Hitch
ings said: ga friend told me Of
Cooper and the remark able cures he
was efecting. [ wrote him describ-
ing my condition, and began taking
the remedies he told me to use. [
have only been using them for one
week, and my joints have limbered up
and the soreness is all gone. I have
not a trace OF rheumatism left, and
can handle myself as we'll as ever"
Mr.. John T. Ehrudal, living at 27
North Eleventh street, also claims
that Cooper cured him Of severe
case of constipation and stomach
trouble with few doses of peculiar
medicine.
Mr.. Ehrudal said he had suffered
severely for over a year. His stomach
would bloat after eating, and the food
ferment and sour. His tongue was
coated, and he had bad taste in the
morning. His kidneys became affect
ed, and his back was so lame he could
hardly walk. He began to improve
the first day he started Cooper's treat
ment, and in two weeks every trace of
his trouble had disappeared.
Cooper claims to have received the
formulas of the medicines he is using
from an aged priest in sleepy Sp an
ish town in Old Mexico. The Mexi-
cans believed that holy water or some
element entered into
their composition.
Cooper rec elves an enormous daily
mail. Letters are coming from every |
part of the state, asking for advice.
The philanthropist reads every let |
ter carefully, and replies to each one,
advising the remedy which is applica-
BILE to each individual case.
While his remarkable cures are the
chief topic of conversation, many sto-
ries are heard on the streets and in |
business places of his goodness to the
poor. His gifts of food, money and |
have relieved q great amount
# distress. and have greatly endeared
him to the people.
He is beginning to show the great
train he has been under the past two
weeks, and 1t is understood that he
will remain here only one more week.

The Lecture Course.

The next number of the lecture
course will be given in January by
the pupils of the public school. Prep.
arations will begin at once and the
program will be good one. The
fourth number will be given some
time in February by the Buckeye
male quartette company in a program
, of vocal and instrumental solos, duets,
quartettes, etc. The contract for the
splendid entertainments that have
been given and those yet to come was
made with the Lyceum Bureau and
signed by certain individuals who
rely upon the community to enable
them to make good this contract.
Who will say that anyone or any
number of our citizens are under obli-
cations to provide course of attrac-
tions like these for the community and
shoulder whatever deficit may be in
Cured, when not dollar of remuner-
alton goes into their pockets? IF the
receipts more than pay the expenses
of the course, every cent of the surplus
goes into the public school library
fund, where it is badly needed. 1t is
hoped that the people will remember
this and show their full appreciation
by liberal patronage of the remain
ing numbers of the course.
The Baptist social at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs last Wednesday
evening was a financial and social
success, over one hundred being pres

delegations called for supper, the
first being nineteen members Of the

with Miss Kathryn Felt, and later
the Woodmen team of foresters that
had just attended a meeting of the
