MAY PRODUCE
 SENSATION
Local Druggist Secures
 Cooper Remedies
Statement by a Leading Druggist in St. Louis ln- dicates Their Success is Genuine.

Will Phoenix be affected with the same astonishing demand for the new preparations extolled by L. T. Cooper as has visited St. Louis and the leading cities of the East?
 The question is brought forth by the fact that a local druggist has secured the agency for the much talked of preparations that are producing such a furor, and about which the newspapers of the United States have devoted col umns.
 In fact a discussion of Cooper's preparations and the unheard of de- mand for them wherever introduced has appeared in a greater part of all the leading dailies of the country.
 The recently published statement of the manager of the Wolff Wilson Drug Co., of St. Louis, which appeared in the Post-Dispatch and Globe-Democrat of that city, would seem to indicate that with no exception these preparations produced the same results in all sec tions, regardless of what pressure is brought to bear against the medicines.
 His statement is as follows:
 This talk about St. Louis going mad over MT. Cooper is absurd. If his preparations did not do all that is claimed for them there would be no demand. MT. COorAr has nothing whatever to do with it."
 ''The idea that his personality has something to do with the sale of his medicines. and that the people of this city only imagine they have been ben effted is too far-fetched to be seriously considered"
 "One physician says the people have a disease called Cooper mania This may be clever, but it certainly Is not true"
 "I have sold these preparations on trial ever since MT. Cooper made my store his headquarters. Any one can receive whatever they pay for the preparations instantly if they are not satisfied. If the people are infatuated with MT. Cooper, as is claimed, and therefore buy his medicines. why don't they come and ask for their money after they have taken them? Out of the thousands of bottles we have sold almost none have been returned"
 AS matter of fact. St Louis is no exception in the immense demand Nor these preparations. Before MT. Cooper came to this city, I received letters from leading druggists throughout the East telling me that wherever he goes his preparations are sold almost to the exclusion Of all others"
 Every city in this country where these medicines have been introduced has had the same experience as St. Louis. This ought to be proof posi- tive that the people know what they are about"
 In the light of this statement it will be interesting to see how these prep arations are received in Phoenix.

CITY COUNCIL CLINCHES
 THE WATERWORKS DEAL
The Appointment of a Committee to Consider the Needs of Phoenix With Reference to New Charter.

The short session of theIcity council held last night was at times turbuIent and stormy. At one period in the pro ceedings the situation indicated that before the meeting was adjourned there would be developments which bOrdered on the sensational. The may or as has been the case on several previous occasions came to the rescue of the situation, presented the olive branch and spoiled a good news story. What was accomplished was of inn portance however. The offer of MT Chalmers made oTfe behalf of the Phoe nix Water company for a sale of their plant for S15O.O00 on the conditions suggested in the resOluotin adopted at the meeting of the tax payers was ac- cepted. A resolution was passed nam ing committee of twenty-five citi- zens to serve the city in framing a new charter.
 In connection with the water works MT. Chalmers was present and said he would be ready to meet any counsel designated. on any day after the first of the week. He desired to make a trip to Los Angeles for the purpose of cOnferring with MT. Sherman regard ing the terms he would propose for the contract. He expressed it as his opinion that the litigation in Cincin- nai in which MT. sherman was the plaintiff could be settled within forty eight hours after the contract had been signed. The council named no add;- tional counsel to serve with Mir. Good rich the city attorney and will not do so until the members of the body have had an opportunity to discuss the case with several members of the legal pro- fessiOn. It is considered very likely however that an effort will be made to secure the services of Walter Ben nett.
 It was in connection with a discus sion of what counsel would be employ ed by the city to assist the city attor- ing came about. MT. Kersting, the councilman from the first ward made a short speech in which he called at tentiOn to the fact that there had been few matters before the council of inn portance in which himself and the city attorney had entertained the same views. He had considered the action of MT. Goodrich in this connection to say the least unpleasant and that he had come to that point where he felt further tolerance was nearly impossi- i ble. He doubted if Mir Goodrich was competent to draw the contract as the 1 city council desired it drawn, with his present opinion of the proceedings the | council had taken and that therefore
Arizona republican., 1906-10-19
or one would insist that aditionai

he for one would insist that aditionai counsel be secured.
 Mir. Goodrich briefly answered MT. Kersting with an explanation of his present position regarding the sale. He and his father had opposed the purchase of the plant from the Water company but that following an expres- sion from the taxpayers meeting they had taken the view that a majority > approved of the purchase and he him self and his father were as able to join in such a contract as any of those who deemed it a wise move. He was there fore in a position where he was en- tireIy in accord with the council and his action in connection with the drawing of. the contract would bear out such statement
 MT. Christy and sthe mayor at this juncture agreed that there was mo- tion before the house and that neither Mir Goodrich nor MT. Kersting were talking on the subject. A vote was then taken on the acceptance of NJ Chalmers offer and it was carried unanimously.
 Mir. Kersting offered the resolution carrying with it the appointment of the charter committee. The resolu- ton called attention to the fact that a new charter is badly needed, more adequately to meet the needs and con ditions of the city. It is non partisan and the names chosen were with some particular part of the work of the committee in view for each member.
