of Berlin last night gave a banquet
in honor of the delegates to the in

toasted the delegates. saying that the
civilized world was watching the pro-

keenest interest, and hoped that its
results would benefit all mankind.
Herr Won Wehrenalp. the principal
Austrian delegate, responded in be-
half of the members of the confer
ence, thanking Germany for taking
the initiative for the internatioal reg
ulation of wireless biography. The
general opinion Is that the work of
the conference is progressing salts
factorily, and that there is good pros
poets of an agreement though Herr
Won Krateke, secretary of the imper-
ial German postofiice, remarked to a
delegate that clause . Of the con-
yention, which comes up next week,
will be the bone OF contention.

war on its apparently better armed
adversary. the Illinois Central Re-

We can hear some of our good cit

Paducah. The Commercial club Is
wasting its money. Padueah will
never be a great city until another

This L. &. y. railroad system is
not a Commercial club. 1t is a great,
eoulless corporation, with no plans,
save to build up its own trade, ex-
tend its tributaries, defeat its COM

Creates Sensation
In New Orleans

T.. T. Cooper, the young phi
lanthropist. who, with his strange
new medicines. has been exciting
much attention from newspapers
all over the country now has New
Orleans in a storm OF enthusiasm
over his remarkable work. The
sale of his preparations have
reached enormous figures and
the wonderful cures of stomach
trouble and rheumatism accred-
tied to his medicines which were
at first the subject of much con-
lecture have become so common
that their genuineness can no
longer be doubted.
His theory that so per cent of
the so-called stomach trouble Is
due 10 immense parasites. or tape
worms. Is verified In nearly ev-
cry case reported. Wherever he
goes people bring to him glass
jars and dishes containing these
parasites which have been ex-
PEELED from their systems by his
medicines. Nearly three hundred
of these cases are reported from
New Orleans and In almost ev-
cry instance the patient had been
unaware that his suffering was
caused by anything more than or
binary stomach trouble.
Mr.. A. r. Halle, a prominent
business man OF l419 Caronielet
street. New Orleans. Is authority
for the report Of one OF the most
remarkable OF these cases. Ae-
cording TO his statement. Mr..
Halle had been a sufferer from a
severe affection OF the stomach

diagnosed his case one of tape

the venture of the l.. & n. railroad
is a demonstration Of just exactly
what the Commercial club has been
preaching ever since its birth the
town that gets ahead is the town
that goes after the things II needs.
BY the action of the l.. g. N.
Railroad company, Paducah's posi-

OFF the city to save time on the south
ern run. gave II up, and declared
that Paducah is too important. That
idea win never again occur to any
Illinois Central official. because some
other railroad has shown its appreci-
alton of Paducah's value.
Over in Cairo the Illinois Central
has its big grain elevator. safe at
present because II has no compete
ton to the southwark and little TO
the north until st. Louis and Chica-
go are reached. The l.. & n. system.
distinctly southern in its ramifica-
tions, has found a barrier In the Ohio
river, that has blocked its pathway
into the rich fields of the north. Pa
ducah is its vantage point to strike
toward the northwest and carry the
fight with the Illinois Central into
the latter's own territory. The ulti-
mate hope of the L. & N. must be a
northern connection at Paducah and
an increased river traffic. How well
il considers that hope founded and
how soon ii expects the realization
is shown by its haste to get up its
granaries before the first of the new
year.
