MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, > Especial. J.
Excitement over the marvellous
cures OF the Great Cooper continues
unabated.
One of the largest crowds that has
yet called upon the noted Philan.
thropist visited him yesterday and q
remarkable demonstration Of his
power was given before the entire
audience. Selecting Can elderly gen
tleman, whom he noticed carrying an
ear trumpet, Cooper motioned for
him t. come forward = He poured
few drops of peculiar liquid into the
mans ears and then rubbed them
softly for moment. Stepping quickly
backward to distance of sixty feet,
he said in an ordinary conversational
tone, stCan you hear me?" A look of
surprise and delightEspread over the
mans face as he answered, eyes, I
hear you perfectly
: How this remarkable work was ac-
compIished 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. =.<et.> s....>
One gentleman who was present
during the demonstration said: T. /.

The next day after that article was
written their authorized agent" pre-
sented himself at the different banks
of this city and offered for sale at lib
eral discount, what purported to be
eight district orders, some signed by
only two members of the board and
some by all three: 1 might add that
the orders were not disposed of here.
I have since learned that he succeeded
in disposing of six from the east side
of the county at Austin. Now, I am
satisfied that the orders cannot be col
lected, and my opinion is sustained by
the state superintendent, the attorney
general and able counsel ih this city.
I believe that the time has come when
we should put stop to this kind of
grating. In 1901 we were swindled by
the Language chart" fend, several dis
tricts paying for charts that they never
received. This work that you have
bought will in all probability be deliv-
cred, but there is nothing certain about
it.
awe have advised all district treas
urers where orders have been given
for this work to refuse payment Of
same, and we wish to further advise
all school boards who have been vic
timized to refuse to accept the goods
when they are delivered. Should the
company or bank then attempt to- en-
force collection on the orders let the
school boards stand together and make
a test case. If the school officers will
do this l will, stand with them and
bring the matter into court. shall be

Merchants taken as whole, average
as high as any class mechanics, farmers
or professional men. We don't know
of town that has not in different lines
of business honest, conscientious, hard
working merchants.
What do they do to merit your pat
ronage? They urge you to enjoy the
convenience of their store. You are
always welcome. OF course the city
catalogue houses can't do that
The home merchants show you the
goods before you purchase and willing
ly make exchanges. The catalogue
houses don't do that,
The home merchants reputation
and business standing in the commun-
ity are back of every sale they make.
The catalogue houses feel no such re-
sponsibility. Their misdeeds in one
community do not hurt them in others.
They would rather lose a customer
than a dollar. The home merchant
would rather lose dollar than lose a
customer.
The home merchant buys your pro-
duce, sometimes at a loss. The cata-
Aogue houses don't.
The home merchants give credit
when necessary. The catalogue houses
insist on spot cash.
The home merchants live among you,
contribute to the upbuilding Of your
town, your schools and your churches.
Their interests are your interests. The
catalogue houses spend their profits
elsewhere. The very natures of their
business kills the small community and
builds up the large city.
The home merchant can and does
meet all legitimate, competition.
You owe it to your towns welfare
and your own welfare to give your mer.
chapt chance to prove this statement
before denying them your patronage. :
The catalogue houses, in their deal
ings with you, ignore all the fundamen-
tai principles of community welfare.
Their methods are a trespass on com
munity rights. la Z:

Keeping Its Promises and Completing
Its Work.

Everyone who has followed the adver-
tisemsnts OF the Uncle Sam Company
from the start, now over six months ago
must admit that the company has made
good" from the word go. II promised
to be selling refined oil from its Cherry
vale plant in five months from the start
and did 1t. 1t promised to build pipe
line to the Missouri river and refinery
Number 2 on the banks Of the Missouri
during the year. II is running on sched-
ule time 1t has the pipe line well under
way and work commenced on the re-
finery on the Missouri. and before the
year ends will have them both completed,
Now this is the kind of a company TO
invest with 1t has kept its promise
thus far and has gone past the doubtful
stage, If there ever was one I'm its ca
reer. HHndrods of thousands Of dollars
have passed through the hands of the
managers OF the company, and faithful
accounting can be made OF every cent.
With great success already achieved and
greater success in the future assured

Tho Size and Plan Of Our River sarses

The river barges will be built on the
plan OF the sand barges that you see
every day along the river front only con-
siderably larger. They will draw two
feet Of water and will carry from 100 to
l2O tons Five flat tanks will be built
crossways OF the barge. The two center
tanks will be larger than the end tanks.
We will be able to load. say, 300 barrels
of coal oil and gasoline, 10 to $50 barrels
Of lubricating oils, and about 500 bar
rels of fuel oil, and a few tons of wax
and coke and asphalt. Our river boats
that will tow these barges will also be
loaded with products of the refinery,
and can be built at small expense. We
will have our stations at St Louis
jefferson City, the two Kansas Citys
Leavenworth, St Joseph. Nebraska City
and Omaha and Council Bluffs, and fifty
other good river points along the Mis-
souri, Some people have hooted at the
idea OF the Missouri being navigable for
this work. We know by investigat tion
and experience that what we say here
can be done. regardless of what anyone
says TO the contrary The Missouri river
will prove TO be the salvation for the oil
producers and will raise the siege OF the
present oil trust oppression In Southern
Kansas and Central Oklahoma II is
within our reach. and is a great and
thickly populated territory filled with
people who love to see a square deal and
who will gladly purchase the superior
qualities OF refined oil from the Uncle
Sam Company as soon as IL can reach
them.

Reasons Why tine Company Can Sell
This Stock at Practically a Sacrifice

Most every successful enterprise that
has in time paid handsome dividends has
at some time in its career solicited the
general public to invest in its capital
stock You can readily see that with a
few hundred thousand dollars more that
this company can complete it's pipe line
and another refinery, and complete it's
river barges and build its tank station
and drill additional wells. We have the
organization, have the work well under
way, have thousands upon thousands Of
dollars already invested S14 from this
man, S33 from another $50 from another,
and from 800 TO $1,000 from another, ali
added together, when you are drawing
from the entire United States, soon runs
into the thousands OF dollars and makes
II possible to complete our great work
and put our company on a dividend pay
ing basis. where IL can soon earn back
all that II has sacrificed in letting you
buy the stock at price that is certain to
make you good money. In other words
we need your capital to help make our
properties more valuable and offer you
value received.

Monthly Payments to Help Along

Besides the income from the refined
oils sold from the Cherryvale refinery
daily. the company has subscribed. on
gtlt-edge monthly payments, over $780,
900. This money is coming in at the rate
Of from 5000 to $500 per day. 1t will
be but matter OF few months until
you will see another refinery completed,
and II will be but a matter OF time, in
fact. until the pipe line is completed.
Can you afford to let this stock get out
Of your reach with this great develop
ment walking right along? Just stop and
think a minute where this company will
be in a year. Don't you know, with this
pipe line completed and two refineries
and river barges, that there will be very
little Of this stock TO be had under 100
per share2 Most everyone is looking for
a good investment and you will not have
an opportunity very soon again to place
your money where II will have an equal
show to earn you great profits along
with other small investors. This is a
common mans company working for a
good cause, and by securing this stock
now your money will not only make you
good investment. but will assist to sue
cess the only independent company in
the west that is strong enough to take
care of itself and place it's products on
the markets of the world, regardless of
any combines or criminal rebate system
