COOPER TO
LEAVE NASHVILLE

Reports from Nashville, Tenn, the
field of L. T. Cooper's work for the
past three weeks, tell of demon
stration acclaiming the success of
parallel in the history of the city.
Cooper made the announcement a
day or two ago that he was about
to close his visit to the Tennessee
city and since that time he has been
fairly besieged at his headquarters
by a clamoring populace. Hundreds
of Nashvillians have been relieved
from long standing illnesses by the
use of this young mans remedies
and these, with many others who
wished to see him before his depar
ture, so blocked and damned the
drug store where he has established
his headquarters that it was almost
impossible to get either in or out.
Cooper, it will be remembered, is
the man who created such a sensa-
ton at Minneapolis, st. Paul, st.
Louis, Milwaukee and other large
cities of the central western states
about year ago with his remark
able remedies.
1t is said that the relief his prep
arations afford is not confined to any
one trouble, but that in cases of
stomach trouble, kidney complaints,
catarrh, rheumatism and deafness
his success has been uniform. From
the stories related in the southern
city people who have been afflicted
for years have found relief through
the use of this young mans rene
dies and he has won the gratitude of
untold hundreds in Central and
Eastern Tennessee.
In the stories that have appeared
of his work are mentioned the names
of many people of prominence in
Tennessee's capital city. Among
these was B. B. Lasater, living at
1924 North Fourth Avenue. Upon

matter, he said: "For several years

The sale of Cooper's preparations

in this city there is said to be

Minneopa State Park.

While Minneopa park is to be state
Mankato and this section of Minnesota
have reason to congratulate themselves
on the beautiful and magnificent re-
sort that will be right at their door.
No doubt the next legislature will APP
propriate sufficient sum of money for
the improvement of this already beau
tiful property. This must be done in
order to carry out the purposes for
which Minneopa falls and the land ada
cent was acquired. The members of the
legislature from Blue Earth county will
see to it that bill providing for a suffi-
cient sum to make the proper improve
ments shall find it's way before that
body and they will urge its passage.
The state is acquiring rare and
historic piece of property which will be-
come more and more valuable as the
years fade into the past. No prettier
spot nor more delightful place for an
outing can be found anywhere. Hun
dreds upon hundreds of people can tes-
THY to this. During two years past more
people have visited the falls and looked
into the hooks and corners which abound
close by than ever before. Many have
come from a distance and rested under
the shade of the stately trees which are
to be found there.
We are pleased at the amicable set.

Young and E. L. Buck, the owner of the

Lightning Rod Gang Hand
a Farmer Something.
SIGNS NOTE FOR BIG SUM.
Farmers Should BE on the Looko ut
for the Fellows Who Are Of
Smooth Class.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Sheriff Forsyth of st. James, accom-
panied by a farmer named Blacksted,
arrived in Mankato last evening, look
ing for a gang of sharpers who got the
best of the farmer in lightning rod
deal a few days ago. 1t appears that
four men and one woman were in the
gang, and they We're located at local
hotel and made to disgorge.
Several days ago two men came to
some lightning rods for his house and
barn, but he did not want any. Then
they offered to put up the rods for 1913,
for an advertisement. He agreed to this,
and signed a contract. A few days aft
the lightning rods, and then presented
la bill for $l57.50. Mr.. Blacksted told
them of his bargain with the first two
men, but they told him that the first
men were crooks, and that the company
that they represented would collect IS
cents a foot for the rods, which made
up the amount of his bill. He looked
at his contract, and sure enough it called
for payment of IS cents foot. After
some dickering, a compromise was
made, and Blacksted gave his note to
the two men for $50.
As soon as the men had gone, Black
sted began to relent that he had made
a settlement, and then he drove to ST.
James and had talk with County At
torney w. S. Hammond. 1t was decided
to charge the band with conspiracy to
defraud, and yesterday Sheriff Forsyth
| telephoned to Chief Donahue, asking
him whether the parties who were want
ed were in Mankato. An investigation
showed that they were stopping at a
local hotel, although only one of the par
| ty registered with the same name that
| he did at st. James. Sheriff Forsyth
| arrived on the evening train, with Mr.
| Blacksted to identify the parties, which
| he readily did.
| The lightning rod men willingly
| agreed to return Blacksted his money
and deposited $50 to be refunded tC

ing been in the meantime disposed of

Blacksted could be held on the contrac
if they had wished to resist, but they
preferred D. settle.

ing out of Mankato for couple o
days, and it is thought that some SINH

guard, at any rate.

Will Become State Banks.

From Thursdays Daily.
The year 1906 promises to see heavy
decrease in the number of private banks
in Minnesota, and additions to the list
of state banks. Fifteen of these private
institutions are now seeking admission
as state banks. Public Examiner Kerst
says he hopes to have them all in before
the year closes, but the task is a big one,
as each must be examined as to assets
and loans and then re-eXamined before
final admission.

to the enterprise is ahother brother of
Mr.. Hixon who lives in La Crosse and is
wealthy. No doubt proper showing
