STILL SEARCHING FoH
HYpNorlzEo WIFE.
Husband Continues His Chase Over the
Southwestern States.

IaWton, Jan. George II. Blowers
OF Grymon, okla. who was here about
two weeks ago searching for his wife.
whom he claims had been hypnotized
oD q Rock Island train by a wicked
hardware avummer who carried her off
with him, turned I'D In Wichita, Kans..
the other day, still hot on the trail of
the couple. He is still firmly OF the be-
lief that his wife Is not to blame, and
that she Is still under the hypnotic in
nuence of the bad drummer.
To a Wichita reporter Blowers stated
that he learned from passengers who
were on the train when his wife was
hypnotized that the drummer attempted
at first TO talk to her, having previ-
ously met her at Guymon, but that she
Indignantly repulsed him. Then the
drummer took seat In the cur where
he could bring his hypnotic eye to bear
upon her, and as soon as she loked
up and caught his eye she just wilted
and walked over to his seat and sat
Down beside him and began talking and
laughing with him, and when the drum
mer left the car. she gathered up her
effects and left with him.
Since then Blowers has been continu-
ously on the road searching for his good
looking wife. who, he honestly believes,
can not withstand the hypnotic influences
OF the good looking drummer who sells
hardware.

ST. LOUIS is
EXCITED.
Young Mans Medicines Seem to
Have Done All That Has
Been Claimed for Them.
st. Louis. Oct. 1. 100

III AOulo5 OtI.h L, l0UO
This city is at present in the midst
that it has experienced in recent
years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was a
stranger to st. Louis until two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is l.. #. 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 a 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 we're of
the most startling nature. Many of
the leading dailies going sc far as to
state that he had nightly cured in
public places, deafness of years stan
ding with one of his preparations.
The physicians of the East contra
dicted 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 locked to
him by thousands and his prepare
lions sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in st. Louis, and UNI
til Cooper actually reached this city
little attention was paid to them.
Hardly had the young man arrived,
however, had he began demonstra-
tions, as he calls them, in public, and
daily met people afflicted with deaf
ness, and with a single application OF
one of his preparations actually made
deaf people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach troll
BILE was the foundation of nine out OF
ten diseases, and claimed to have a
p~reparation that would restore the
stomach to working order, and thus
get rid of such troubles as rheuma-
tism and affections of the kidneys
and liver in about two weeks time.
This statement s ems to have been
borne out by the Iemarkable results
obtained through the use of this
preparation, and now all st. Louis is
apparently mad ever 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 esti-
mate. At present there seems to be.
no sign of a let up. Physicians claim
it to be a 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 prepara-
lions.
