COOPER MAKING
LARGE FORTUNE
PbiIan.Brcpist's St. Louis Success q
Phenomenal Character.

st Louis, Nov. 2. The remarkable
ies1its that are being accomplished
ii ST. Louis by L. T. Cooper have be-
come a topic Of universal interests
aating the past week.
Reports that preceded his visits to
this city told Of Mr.. /cooper's great
success In the east. But the man and
MS medicine did not attract wide.
spread attention until the beginning
of Ills second week here. Then, the
interest in him became very notice.
able aud has steadily gathered head
way5until his preparations are now be
ing sold in enormous quantities and
his headquarters is most interesting
place in which to spend a half hour
People are coming from al parts OF
the city to see him. The yong man
and his assistants are surrounded by
swarms Of humanity from early until
late some to tell what has been ac'
Il complished for them by the Cooper
medicines; others to buy the rene
dies.
n Perhaps nothing has done more to
arouse this interest than Mr.. Cooper's
statement concerning internal para
sites, or tapeworms, as they are COM
monty called. At the commencement
Of his visit to this city, he claimed
that these creatures were responsible
for much OF the III health Of this gen
Grafton: he claimed that large per-
centage Of all chronic stomach trouble
was caused by them; he stated that
his New Discovery" medicine would
remove hundreds Of these tapeworms
before he left the city.
These statements seem to have been
completely verified. During the past
two weeks hundreds Of people who
have been taking the Cooper prepare
ton for some form Of stomach trouble
have been relieved of one Of these par
5asites. In consequence, Cooper and
his theories have been growing into
greater prominence each day.
Mr. Cooper's statement that gen
eral lassitlde was the surest inlica-
ton Of this trouble seems to be cor
rect. Statements by people who have
had this experience seem to be very
much alike. All saying that a feel
{ ing Of extreme WEAKNESS and a lack
of energy which they attributed to
stomach trouble, had afflicted them.
A statement of this character, VIII oh

perience Is as follows:

Breeding Farm Urged.

Recommendation has been made In the
annual report of DR.. Melvin, chief Of the
bureau Of animal industry, for an expert
mental breeding farm for the Department
of Agriculture in the neighborhood of
Washington. In this connection he says !:
"As the work In animal breeding and
feeding progresses 1t becomes evident that
the bureau will need an experimental farm
near Washington for Investigations of this
class, aside from the co operative work be-
ing done with the State experiment stations.
Experiments in breeding and feeding have
been carried on in a small way at one Of
the bureau quarantine stations and at the
bureau experiment station for contagious
diseases, but it is obviously very undesirable
and unwise to keep animals for experiments
of this kind on the same premises where
animals are undergoing quarantine or where
experiments are being made with contagious
diseases. 1t therefore seems that the time
Is soon coming when the bureau should be
provided with a separate farm for investl.
cations in breeding and feeding live stock
and in dairyIng.

more pay They give up 90 days from their
business, and they get no com pSnsation at all
adequate for 1t. It Is very atural that they
should want some other return than the small
salary paid them in the shape Of sinecures Tor
their friends"
LEE A CONSERVATIVE RADICAL
Senator Lee is called by his friends icon
SENTATIVE radicaP' in national politics He
believes very strongly that pubic-service cor
porations should be subjected 10 close scrut
ny by the national, State and municipal gov
ernments, that they should be deprived OF
special privileges and made to deal honestly
and squarely with the people. During the
Investigation of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road's conduct of the Washington Branch
affairs by the last Legislature he was most
ling OF the Washington Branch's finances by
the railroad, and was very efficient IN max
ing clear the great value Of the States stock
In the Washington Branch road. He has
somewhat peculiar, but very interesting,
theory regarding municipal or Government
ownership.
On MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
ri do not believe in Government ownership
or municipal ownership" he said, "because
1 THINK 1t is economically advantageous. |
do not think the Government can run rail-
road as cheaply as private corporation can.
But think the Government may be forced
In special instances to take over the railroads
in order to make the corporations be good.
II the Baltimore and Ohio, for instance,
should be 80 fragrant in its violation Of Its
obligations to the people. the Government
might condemn and acquire 1t as an object
lesson. And with it 1t could not only rem
edy the Baltimore and Ohio conditions, but
It could also force other roads to be good
II 1t bad the Baltimore and Ohio and some
Of the other roads in adjoining territory
should become obstreperous they would very
quickly be brought to terms, think, by the
Governments proposing to extend the Balti-
more and Ohio into their territory. In other
words, think municipal ownership and Gov
ernrasnt ownership are valuable things as
clubs do not think they would insure any
better management Of the railroads simply
as transportation agencies"

AN appeal from the decision of the Cir.

An appeal from the decision Of the Cir
cult Court for this county has been taken in
the case of Katherine Seager Ofutt against
Catharine v. Offutt and others, heirs of the
late Luther NJ. Ofutt, which was recently
decided in favor Of the defendants. 1t was
an action for the specific performance Of an
alleged ante nuptial contract.
Mr.. Benjamin g. Riggs died at his home
in this town about o'clock last Wednes-
day afternoon, aged "a years. He had been
i'll several days. Diphtheria was the i'm.
mediate cause of his lamented death. He
leaves little son, Talbot Riggs; his father,
Reuben Riggs, of Lsytonsville; sister,
Miss Bessie Riggs, of Laytonsville, and two
brothers, Capt. Samuel Riggs, Of this town,
and VIM. Q. Riggs, Of Washington. At the
time Of his death Mr.. Riggs was an employee
of the District Commissioners office, WASH
ington, which position he had held for sew.
eral years. Prior to accepting the position
in Washington he served six years as deputy
clerk of the Circuit Court for thi 8 county.
Mr.. VIM. Haywood, United States consul
general at Seoul, Korea, died at the Army
Hospital at Fort Bayard, N. M, on Wed.
nesday of last week of rapid consumption.
Mr.. Haywood was taken seriously i'll at his
far distant post of duty few months ago,
and was brought home and taken to Fort
Bayard in the hope that the warm and dry
climate and skilled medical attention at that
place might stay the ravages OF the disease,
but it was all in vain, as the malady had
gained too much Roadway to yield to med.
icine or treatment. A few weeks ago, when
he realized that he would never be able 10
return to Korea, he resigned his consular
commission. Deceased was a son of Col /.
Edward Haywood, who resides near Rock
Vile.

Importing Foreign Labor.

A very important decision and one that
may go long way toward solving the labor
problem was recently made by the new
Secretary of Commerce, Mr.. Strauss.
The State of South Carolina through its
Inning ration Bureau had sent agents abroad
to secure the emigration to this country Of
desirable persons for farm and factory labor
ers, undertaking to pay their passage and
find them employment. Several hundred
were secured and sent to different parts Of
the State where labor was In demand.
1t was claimed that this proceeding was a
violation of the alien contract labor law,
and the Secretary Of Commerce was called
upon to decide the question which he
promptly did in favor of the State.
The labor question, especially so far as it
affects agriculture and domestic servants, is
growing to be very serious one. Farmers
all over the country are having the greatest
difficulty to secure the labor necessary to
till their lands, and when they do obtain it
they are obliged to pay wages out Of all pro-
portion to the prices of the crops they raise.
And every housekeeper knows how hard it
is to get good, satisfactory servant.
The cause of this trouble is that the de.
velopment of the country is greater than the
increase of population; in other words the
labor supply is not equal to the demand.
Yet in the face of this, petitions are being
sent to Congress asking that further restric-
tons be put upon immigration.
The fact is that some of the restrictions
should be taken from immigration and one
OF the worst is the contract labor clause.
Under the present law every worthless and
dangerous foreigner who desires to come to
the United States, but who has no idea
what he is going to do when he gets here,
can come to our ports without hindrance,
but If a careful foreigner, one who would
look before he leaps, secures employment
personally or through bureau, before he
leaves home he is violating the contract fea.
ture of the law, and they are the very peo-
pie this country needs and can accommo-
date without crowding those who are here.
The South Carolina decision would seem
to indicate way out of the difficulty, and
it would be well for the several States to
follow her example to the end that indus
trious and desirable foreigners be brought
to our shores and the labor problem be
olved.-Ceca Democrat.

I'm Old Montgomery County"
By ANOTHER BARD.


In old Montgomery county the Bentztown
bard has found
Naught else to eatsave fish and eggs when
ever he came round.
Should he wish an explanation as to why
he's treated 80.
Perhaps he'll find 1t lurking In the lines
set forth below.
In old Montgomery county, "where the
chosen people DWELL"
There's notion that, In caring for q
stranger, 1t Is well
To serve him with such comforts as he
really seems to need,
And give him just the diet upon which
he ought to feed.
In old Montgomery county we serve every
kind of dish,
But to certain kind of visitors give only
eggs and fish.
BY poets like the Bentztown bard all else
should be eschewed-
Fresh eggs and fish lin every style) are
excellent brain food.
