/ hereby announce my candidacy for
Mayor OF the City of Americas, subject to
the Democratic Primary October 3D., 1905.
Municipal ownership of certain utilities,
which has, within the past few years proven
to be not only desirable, but an actual ne
cessity in many cities of the United states,
presents itself to the people of Amercus in
an unusually interesting and vitality impor-
tant phase al this time.
Our gas and electric light rates, when com
pared to those prevailing in cities which own
these franchises, demonstrate conclusively
that the best service and the cheapest rates
are secured by such ownership.

Gus should own its gas and electric light
plants, Just as it now owns its waterworks
system, and having reason to believe that the

zens of Webster county and
likewise well known in Ameri-
Gus, passed away Saturday night
DR.. j. r. Kidd, for twenty years
resident of the county, died

vived by his wife, three daughters and
two sons. Mr.. Robert King, likewise
a well known citizen and a member of
the board of county commissioners,
passed away on the same date. Mr..
Kings death perhaps resulted from a
broken limb, sustained in fall from
his porch week ago. He was II years

UTILIZING THE coNWcTs ONLY
Free Labor Will Be Abolished on
County Roads.

Free labor is to be abolished in the
working of the county roads of SUM
ter, and hereafter the duty of road
building will be performed entirely by
misdemeanOr convicts. This step was
determined upon by the Board ofCoun-
ty Commissioners in monthly meeting
yesterday, and will result in the saving
of large sums paid annually for free
labor. The county changing has been
greatly augmented recently, the num-
Der of convicts now in stripes being
sufficient not only to work all the
county roads but to be divided into
three separate gangs for distribution
over a large territory.

|. T, COOPER STIRS
UP MOUND CITY.
Young Man Excites Pc pie
of st. Louis.
EASTERN REPORTS VERIFIED
Phiianthrodist's Medicines HaVs APP
parentiy Done All Claimed For
Them and Thousands of People
Call Upon Him Daily.
ST. LonIs Oct. l 1906

st, Louis Oct. l 1906
This city is at present in the midst
of an excitement beyond anything that
it has experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside themselves
over an individual who was stranger
to ST. Louis until two weeks ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L T. Cooper, President of
the Cooper Medicine Co, of Dayton,
Ohio, who is OF present introducing
his preparation in this city for the
first time,
Cooper Is man about thirty years of
age who has acquired fortune within
the past two years by the sale of some
preparations of which he is the owner.
Reports from Eastern cities that
preceded the young man here were of
the most startling nature. Many of
the leading dailies going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured In pub
lie places, deafness of years standing
with one of his preparations. The
physicians of the East contradicted
this statement, claiming the thing to
be impossible, bat the facts seemed to
bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so
In consequence people focked to him
by thousands and his preparations
sold like wildfre.
Many of these stories were regarded
as fictitious in st, Louis, and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
had he began demonstrations as he calls
them, in public, and daily met people
afflicted with deafness, and with sin
gle application of one of his prepare
t1ons actually made deaf people hear
again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE was the foundation of nine out of
ten diseases, aud claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order, and thus
get RID of such troubles as rheumatism
and [, fl :ctions of the kidneys and liver
in about Two weeks time.
THIS statement seems to have been
bern cut by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this prep4
aration. aud now all st. Louis is ap-
parently mad over the young man.
HIS headquarters resemble a verit-
able stampede. Thousands of people
ere waiting him each day. and the
druggists are selling his medicines in
enormous quantities
Whss seems to make Cooper still
more popular IS the fact that he prac
tees extensive charitable work, and
has already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor of this city.
How long the tremendous interest
i2'Cooper will laat is hard to estimate
4 pre- sent there seems to be no sign OF
let-up Physicians claim it to be q
fad tina. will die out as coon IS Cooper
leaves.
To is C. to him, how,vor, il mus,
be SID that he already seems to have
accom- piished great deal for the sick
