Mexico, under the title of THE Paint
ed Desert Of New Mexico"

Mexico, under the title of "The Paint
ed Desert of New Mexico"
DR.. Conard's lecture was an account,
illustrated with photographs, of visit
to the Indian town of Zuni. He spoke
of the great change in vegetation no.
ticeable in passing from central Kan
sas to southeastern Colorado, q change
from flower garden TO desert. This
change Is due to the altitude and dry
ness of Colorado. The colored rocks
and scant, harsh vegetation of New
Mexico was described. The Zuni IN
dams live in a typical Pueblo. with
houses five to seven stories high, the
upper ones being reached by ladders
The Indians raise corn, onions and
Chilli" red peppers. They make ex-
cellent pottery, and very good silver
ware Their religion is very elaborate,
and much attention is paid to 1t.
Nevertheless they bury their dead be-
side the Christian cross. Reference
was made to Cushing's delightful book
"Zuni Folk Tales" 1t was pointed out
that the struggle of these people
against hard surroundings has made
them what they are. So with us we
can hope to acquire strength and char
acter thru labor and struggle.
About sixty members of the clut
were served with supper. preceding
the lecture, by members OF the La
dies Auxiliary.

MAYORS BUSINESS BIG
Advantage. Of Straight Salary Over
Old Fee System Shown in Report
Of Mayor to the counciI-Total BUS
! moss Of First Term, With Salary
Deducted, Was $25,2s5.12.

| The advantages of q straight salary
heretofore in vogue before the incum-
bency of o. l.. Ingledue, were clearly
shown in the report made to the coun-
Gil at the regular quarterly meeting
Monday night. In the mayors first
term the total business done, with the
salary Of $1,000 per year deducted
amounting to $25,235.12.
In the mayors office in the two
years the receipts from all sources
were s23,615.92, and during that period
fees chargeable amounted to $3,619.2O,
making a total of $27,235.12. The de-
duction Of $4,000 salary makes the net
receipts Of the office $25,235.12.
The mayor tried, up to January 1, q
total OF 727 state cases, which, at $4.35
each, aggregates $3,162.45. Estimating
for the next three months Of his term,
by taking the average per month for
twenty one months, he Will have tried
by the last Of March los more cases,
at $4.s5, or total of s456.75. This
would make the volume of the fee bus
mess during his first term $3,619.20.
The officers costs in state cases will
aggregate $1,539.2O, taking what has all
ready been chargeable in state cases
and what will be chargeable during the
next three months, based on the cor
responding months Of 1906. The off,
GERS costs in city cases during the two
years, figured the same way, will
amount to $751;, or a total Of $2,290.20
in fees heretofore chargeabla by po-
lice officers.
With no fees being paid either may
or or policemen, under the ordinance
drafted by mayor Ingledue when he
was on the council, it can be readily
seen that the city and county are much
better off under the present system
than they were under the old state Of
affairs.
During the quarter ending Dec. 81,
1906, the mayor collected in licenses
the sum Of s2,4so.75; fines aggregating
$146; mayors fees in the sum of
s194.70; officers fees in the sum Of
$s2.15, a total Of $2,9O3.6o, for which
the mayor holds the treasurer's re-
ceipts.

ST. LOUIS IS
MUCH EXCITED
L. T. Cooper Stirred Up Pso-
pie Of the Mound City at
His Headquarters
ALL REPORTS VERIFIED
Young Mans Medicines Have Seeming.
~ Done All Claimed for Them and
Thousands Of People Are Calling Up
on Him Each Day-His Headquar-
ters veritabIe Stampede.

st. Louis, Jan. 14.-This city Is a
present in the midst Of an excitemen
beyond anything that 1t has expert
enced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, al
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was {
stranger to st. Louis until two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T. Cooper, President o.
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 salt
OF some preparations Of which he Il
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities tha
preceded the young man here We're Of
the most startling nature. Many o.
the leading dailies going so far as tic
state that he had nightly cured in pub.
lie places, deafness of years standing
with one Of his preparations. The
physicians Of the East contradictet
this statement, claiming the thing te
be impossible, but the facts seemed
to bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did SO.
In consequence people fiocked tt
him by thousands and his preparations
sold like wildfire.
Many OF these stories were regarded
as fictitious in st. Louis. and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however
had he begun demonstrations, as he
calls them, in public, and daily met
people afflicted with deafness, and
with single application of one OF
his preparations actually made deaf
people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper adj
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
bic was the foundation of nine out OF
ten diseases, and claimed to have q
preparation 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 seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained thru the use of this prep
aration, ssnd 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-
tees 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 sign
Of let-up. Physicians claim 1t to be
a fad that will die out a. soon as
Cooper leaves.
In Justice to him, however, It must
be said that he already seems TO have
accomplished great deal for the sick
Of this city with his preparations.

with what tremendous strides the Ii
brary had increased.
The reports of the committee, togeth-
err with those of the librarian and
President P. S. Balch, will be filed
with the city council, and later will be
published in booklet form.
