Cooper Has Stirred Up People
of Mound City.
Young Mans Medicines Have Seem
ingiy Done All That was Claim
ed for Them.
EASTERN REPORTS VERIFIED.

st. Louis, Oct. This city Is at
present in the midst of an excitement
|beyons' anything that it has exper-
ienceS In recent years.
old and young, rich and poor. all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was
stranger to st. Louis until two weeks
ago. 4.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T Cooper, president of
the Cooper Medicine Co., of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present Introducing
his preparations in this city for the
FIRST time.
Cooper is a 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
he most startling nature. Many of
the leading dailies going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured in pub
Tic places, deafness of years standing
with one of his preparations. The
physicians of the east contradicted
this statement, claiming the thing to
be impossible, but the facts seemed
to bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to
him by thousands and his preparations
sold like wildfre.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in st. Louis, and until
Cooper actually reached this city lit
tie attention was paid to them. Hard
ly had the young man arrived, how
ever, had he began demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
met people afflicted with deafness,
and with a single application actually
made deaf people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper
advance the theory that stomach
trouble was the foundation of nine
out of tea diseases, and claimed to
have preparation that would restore
the stomach to working order, and
thus get rid of such troubles as rheu-
matism and affections of the kidneys
and liver in about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this prep
aration, and now all St Louis is APP
parently mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble a verit-
able stampede. Thousands of people
are visiting him each day, and the
druggists are selling his medicines in
enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac-
tices extensive charitable work. and
has already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor of this city.
How long the tremendous interest
In Cooper will last is hard to estimate,
At present there seems to be no sigh
of a let-up. Physicians claim it to be
fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, 1t must
be said that he already seems to have
accomplished a great deal for the
sick of this city with his prepera-
tions.

Takes Charge of The McKin-
ley Building.
Board Of Arbitration Adopts such
Resolution and Recommends
Her 10 Place.
SCHOOL TRUSTEES TONIGH

With the resolution of the board
of arbitration recommending to the
school board that Miss Emma Nor
gan be given the princlpalship of the
Mckinley building, the long drawn
out and bitterly contested controver-
sy over the recommendation of the
committee on examinations, came to
an end last night. The school board
will abide by the recommendation Of
the board of arbitration.
There was an evident desire to
finish the question last night so that
the school board at It's meeting to-
night may get to work to put the
schools on the same plane as last
year. Several persons testified last
night among them being Prof.
Payne. Supt. Lieb and Miss Morgan.
The vote, which settled the question
was Z to 3. Resolutions asserting in
the main that more harm than good
would come to the schools from con-
tinuin& the controversy and recon-
mending Miss Morgan as principal of
ND NlcKfhley building. were adopt
ed by that vote. The Affirmative was
Dorian. Brooks, Winstead, Farley.
Sutherland, Garrison and Cole. Neg
alive, Potter, Miller and Boone. The
resolutions follow:
We, the committee appointed by
the board of education of the Padu
cab public schools for the purpose
of adjudging whether Miss Emma
Morgan should be given place in
the public schools, beg to submit the
following:
The objections raised against
Miss Morgan are as follows: 1. In
subordination; .. Inefficiency, (a) in
class work, (b) in discipline; 3.
Lack of punctuality. The first con-
tention has been attested by the SUI
perintendent of schools, by the high
school principal under whom Miss
Morgan has served during the last
school year.
The second count has been at
tested by the superintendent and the
high school principal, and admitted
in part by Miss Morgan.
The third count is admitted in to-
to bv Miss Morgan.
Notwithstanding the facts above
set forth, and our feelings that the
schools are best served where there
is absolute harmony and co-opera-
ton, yet, in view of existing condi-
lions in which the community has
divided itself pro and con, and ma
ny right-minded citizens have taken
decided stands without a full knowl-
edge of the facts being known. and
in view of the further consideration
that the confusion necessarily aris-
ing out of this one case has had, and
is having a bad effect upon the en-
tire city school system, we believe
that less harm would come from
splhcing Miss Morgan in the schools
than in continuing the contention
which Iseems to be growing further
frbm ID settlement each day.
In as much as the appointment to
the English position rs entirely out
of the ouestion because of reasons
that are evident to all, therefore we
recommend that Miss Emma Morgan
be placed in charge of the Mckinley
school subject to regulations govern
ing the schools.

Court is Crowded.

Lewiston, Idaho, Dec. 10. Judge
Steele Of the district court announced
that he will convene an extra session
Of court in this city, January 81, to
accommodate the large increase in
litigation In Neg Perce county. The
judge left yesterday for Moscow,
where he will convene court Monday.
Judge Steele has heretofore held
two terms of court In Neg Perce
county, but litigation has increased
so rapidly that an extra session Of the
district court has been decided on to
give the needed relief. While in the
counties Of Latah and Idaho an av-
erage Of % judgments are entered
during term Of the district court,
this county has had more than 100.

CoRBIN IS A BENEFACroR
Builds Railroads that BENEFIT
Public.

Seldom have more significant an
nouncements been made TO the bust
ness men and citizens Of Spokane and
the surrounding country than those
showing the important part the Spok-
ane International railway is already
beginning to take In the carrying
trade Of this part Of the northwest.
Losing no time after the Inauguration
Of freight train service over his
road, Mr.. Corbin lets 1t be known In
3 practical way that there have been
no vain dreams as to what his road
would do.
In establishing a new rate ON lum-
Der from Spokane to North Dakota
points the Spokane international and
500 roads are placing the producers
In this city In position of equity
with competitors to which they are
Justly entitled, and which, by bene-
fitting them, will help one of the
principal industries of this city and
country. More interesting however,
to the general public than tho mere
equalizing OF rates In this particular
case Is the evidence Afforded by the
incident that q fair tariff can be ex-
pected from the Spokane Inter
national. 1t may not unreasonably
be anticipated that in other respects
Spokane will receive equitable treat
ment.
The statements made by Mr.. Corbin
In respect to hauling coal and the
promised relief, so far as relief 0 &
come from an adequate carrying
capacity will DO welcome to all
classes Of people. Mr.. Crobin Is
noted for the conservative as we'll as
optimistic view he takes Of any prob.
lem relating to the public welfare,
and l ! not in the habit OF promising
what he can not preform. When,
therefore, he says that his road has
enough cars to place in Spokane all
the coal that will be needed for the
winter, there will be a general ex-
pectancy Of good supply in the near
future. OF course, the output at
the Alberta mines will have to be
taken In consideration, and also that
there 10 a great demand through the
Canadian northwest for the coal there
produced.
II IL regretted that other roads
running out Of this city re disabled
by car shortage from taking full adj
vantage Of Mr.. Corhin's offer for the
relief Of other points In the Inland
Empire.
The main thing to be taken note
Of In the two statements presented In
yesterdays Spokesman Review re.
latlve to lumber and coal Is that the
Spokane International railway has,
indeed, become an important factor
In the transportation problem in this
section and that real advantages are
going To arise therefrom. --Spokes-

Town Of Caldwell Enlcined.

Judge George Il. Stewart Of the
district court rendered decision In
the case OF A. II. Everett We the city
OF Caldwell OF al, granting the plain
tin q temporary writ OF Injunction.
This Il the case In which Evltt asked
the district court o. Canyon county
for temporary restraining order en-
Joining the city Of Caldwell from OK /.
ecuting a contract with the firm of
Harding 4 Williams, also defendants
In the case, for the construction OF a
city hall On November 80 Judge
Smith OF that court issued an order
requiring defendants to show cause
before him on December why such
restraining order should not Issue.
By agreement OF parties the matter
was transferred to Judge Stewart's
court for hearing,
Fer the reason that defendants
made no return 10 the order requiring
cause to be shown why the restrain,
Ing order should not Issue nor filed
any demurrer or motion addressed to
the petition alone, The petitioner
contended that there had been no or
dlnance passed authorizing the build
Ina Of city hall, that no appropria.
tlon had been made by the city coun
ell for that purpose; that the city en-
gieer had made estimates Of cost FOR
such building; that the bid OF Har,

ten and not by ordinance; that there
we're irrega larities in the opening u

such being contrary to statute.
Judge Stewart says: ''aection 4199
authorizes an attorney to verify
pleading, "if the facts are within the
knowledge of the attorney"
The facts set forth are matters Of
pablo record and the verIfication
made is clearly authorized by the
statute -
Another con tention of the de Tense
was that the plaintiff sued was q tax
payer and that as taxpayer he could
not maintain the action. Judge Ste
ward decided the action could be
maintained and cites references in
support Of his decision.
Judge Stewart gives the following
reasons for coming to his decision
that the plaintiff is entitled to tenn
porary writ of injunction:
First, because there has been no
ordinance passed authorizing the con.
| struction of city hall.
Second, because the city engineer
has made no estimates of the cost Of
the proposed structure.
Third, because Of Irregularities in
opening bids and In permitting de-
PENDANTS. Harding & Williams to
submit second bid without extend
ing such privilege and right to the
public generally, and especially the
contractors who had previously SUBJ
mitted bids.
