Thirty Days. Talks.
SHARES uRee INCOME WITH POOR
CONTROLS AND SENSATION
CREATED IN EAST.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22.-L. T. Cooper,
or the Great Cooper" as he is called,
was seen in his hotel this morning
by reporter and proved to be a COM
paratively young man, as he is little
over thirty years of age.
Mr.. Cooper is the man WHO is said
to have created a sensation in eastern
cities by his extensive charitable work
and the enormous sale of two prepar-
While talking his face lights up with
smile, almost boyish in it's express
sion and he seems very young to have
acquired the enormous fortune he is
said to possess. When asked about
his plans for his visit to ST. Louis
he said:
II shall remain in this city about
four weeks. / have come here to in
troduce my preparations in my usual
way and l will give the public ample
opportunity to ascertain whether the
claims l make for these medicines can
be verified"
1T is one of my beliefs that every
successful man should devote a part
tunate. l rely to a great eXent on
the public for information concerning
families, or individuals who are in
need. and l will, therefore. be very
grateful to all who will send me the
name and address of people who are
destitute"
Upon being asked about the public
removals of deafness, which he has
made in Pittsburg and other cities
Mr.. Cooper said: Il have appeared
each night. in the cities l have visited,
before audiences that ranged from two
to ten thousand people, and have
stated that l would remove in less
than three minutes time, deafness Of
years standing
II have treated in public in this
manner over a hundred people each
night. l shall do this work in ST.
Louis to some extent, and I will then
prove whether l am successful or not.
1t will be time to discuss this work
after l have given one of these dem
onstrations as my claims would now
seem extravaganza"
1.-The preparation with which 1
give these demonstrations is not the
one to which l owe my success, as my
New Discovery is my principle rem
edy. This preparation is for the re-
moval of all forms of stomach trOu
ble.''
Il have not yet decided where my
headquarters will be while here, but
will know within the next twenty-four
hours.

TELLS Of CONDITIONS Of CARRIERS
CONFIDENCE OF PUBLIC IS
NECESSARY.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-Presi'
dent E. B. Thomas of the Lehigh Val.
ley Railroad Co., in his address to
the annual stockholders meeting,
after reviewing the great improve
ment in the company's financial posi-
ton under the present management,
gave his views on the present situa-
ton of the railroads and their rela-
lions with the public. Mr.. Thomas
said:
AT time when there is so much
uncertainty as to the future cost of Op-
Grafton, and the effect of recent laws,
your board believes a conservative
policy in the matter of dividends is
to the best interests of the stock
holders. The labor situation is IN
settled. Heavy demands have been
made on the company for shorter
hours and increased wages because of
the increased cost of living and higher
rates of wages paid by others, many
of which have been granted where a
fair and impartial review of the stu
alton indicated the necessity of so do
ing. This will have it's effect in ted
ing to increase the future expense of
operation. The shortage of freight

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-Here
is a proposition for legislative enact
mentt which should make something of
noise in the vicinity of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago, not to mention the
cultured precincts Of Northwestern
university. the University of Illinois,
and other institutions of higher and
lower learning throughout the state.
1t is fathered by Senator Orville F.
Berry. who when he introduces thing
the Illinois senate. 1t is not known
whether or not he desires this parti-
cular bill to. become a law. The in
teresting part of it is found in, the
following sentence:
Every person under the age of IS
years and any minor pupil in any
school, college, academy, or university
who shall smoke or use cigaretS, CT
gars, or tobacco on any road, street,
alley, or park, or other lands used for
public purposes, or in any public
place of business or amusement, shall
be guilty of misdemeanor and shall
be punished for each offense by a fine
of not more than $40.
The bill further would impose a fine
of 500 on any person selling cigarets
containing anything "deleteriOus to
health, other than tobacco" and a fine
Of $50 for the first offense of selling
to a minor, and 800 for subsequent
offenses, with an alternative of thirty
days in Jail.

engrossing the attention of both rail-
road oficials and the general public.
is one that must be dealt with
broadly in order to carry on the con-
tinued prosperity of the country.
Demand for Cars Must be Met.
1.-THE total tonnage transported by
this company during the last year
amounted in round numbers to 25,0O0,-
900 tons. Of this amount, 15,OOO,OOO
originated from the mines and factO-
ries on it's own line. 1t is duty we
owe the public to, at all times, supply
a reasonable amount of equipment for
this traffic. The general shortage in
freight car equipment throughout the
country has prevented our fully sup
plying these industries during the last
few months to the extent they are
entitled. and it is incumbent upon
this company, notwithstanding its
large equipment, to further increase
it in order to protect the industries
located on it's line.
1T must be borne in mind that the
business of producing anthracite coal
is not alone mining proposition, but
a manufacturing and commercial un-
dertaking as well. The combined
gross business of the railroad and
coal companies is over $65, OOO, 900 per
annum, and to provide ample working
capital, as well as to meet expendi-
lures for current improvements as
they become due, it is necessary to
have ample cash balance constantly
at the company's disposal, even
though the cost of such work is not
included in operating expenses, but
is ultimately charged to capital &C.
count and provided for by the issue
of securities.
Public Confidence Necessary.
IF the railroads of this country are
to be successful and their securities
are to become desirable investments,
the physical arrangements of the
properties must appeal TO the public
sense as satisfying reasonable re-
quirements and their financial opera
tons must command, the confidence
of investors. 1t is to that class this
management appeals. They are the
class by whom the bulk of this COM

JUMPS THROUGH CAR WINDOW
Convicted Burglar Eludes Sheriff While
on WAY to Joliet,

OF wa 10 VOuSNs
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-George Ev-
erett, % years old, prisoner in the
custody of Sheriff Joseph Collier Of
Rockford, III, who was taking him to
the penitentiary at Joliet, plunged head
foremost through the window Of a
smoking car of a Chicago. Milwaukee
& ST. Paul train yesterday and made
his escape.
The escape was made while Collier,
his assistant, and a second prisoner
were seated together in the car. AS
the train neared Union street and the
railway tracks, Everett. who was nand-
cuffed to his fellow prisoner, arose
from his seat as though to look out
the window AS he did so he slipped
the handouts from his wrist and with.
out more ado jumped, taking the glass
with him. The train. going at rapid
rate, was stopped, and Collier gave
chase Shots were fired at the re-
treating fugitive, but he successfully
made away between the lines Of
freight cars.
The sheriff then reboarded the train,
and, he and his assistant sitting on
the second prisoner, the train drew
into the Union station where the loss
of Everett was reported. A search
was instituted by detectives from the
Desplaines street police station.
After remaining at the Union station
for a time the sheriff and his remain
ing charge boarded a Chicago and AL
ton train and started for the peniten-
tiary Everett had recently been sem
fenced to serve from one to twenty
years at Joliet for burglary.

which several prominent mines will
doubtless be developed.
The silver production, which in
creased greatly. amounted to 5.S63,5O0
ounces, valued at $3,576,735. OF this
quantity by far the larger part was
derived from the dry ores of Tonopah.
Storey, White Pine, Eureka and Es-
meralda counties contributed the bulk
of the remainder. The Comstock
(Storey county, produced nearly
81, OOO, 900 in gold and silver. A much
larger output of gold and a moderate
increase in silver will be recorded in
1906
New Mexico.
New Mexico produced gold to the
value of s265,SO0 in 1905. which is
somewhat less than the value of its
gold production in 1904. 1t is hoped
that development, now under way, in
Sierra, Grant and Socorro counties
will again raise the value of the pro-
duct to the half million dollar mark

The silver output which amounted
in 1905 to s216, has been increased
by the operation of the mines in the
MOgollon mountains. >,
South Dakota.
Gold obtained in South Dakota from
the ores treated by the roasting ana
cyanide process decreased somewhat,
while the output from mines with
free milling ores remained about con-
slant. All the mines are situated in
the Black Hills, and the total yield Of
gold for the year was $6.913,9OO. The
silver product was small, and valued
at only $1O9.190. !.
Southern Appalachian States.
The southern Appalachian states,
including Alabama, Georgia, Maryland
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, and Virginia, maintained dur
ing 1905, an aggregate autput Of $780,
500 in gold and of 110,3OO fine ounces
in silver, valued at $67,2S3. The most
striking changes from 1904 were an IN
crease in silver from the copper ores
Of Tennessee and a decrease of gold
in South Carolina. Increased activity
in quartz mining was noted from Ala
bama and Maryland. In North Caro-
lima many mines productive in 1904
were closed, but the yield from the
lola mne. in Montgomery county, COM
peisated for this. At present the two
most important gold mines in the
south are the Halle, of South Caro-
lima, and the lola of North Carolina.
Utah.
An increase of about $1,000,0OO is
recorded in Utahs production of gold
for 1905, which attained $5,14O.90O and
was mainly caused by larger ship
ments from Tintic and Bingham dis
tricts. as we'll as from the Camp Floyd
district, in Tooele county.
The very notable decrease in silver
of about 100000 ounces was caused
Park City mines in Summit and
Wasatch counties. The total silver
for 1905 is estimated at 1O,319,S0O
ounces valued at $6,295,07S.
Wyoming.
Wyoming's gold production in 1905
which was valued at $23,70O represents
an increase of $1,000 over that of 1904.
This was due to the activity Of the

An unfavorable water season as
well as diminished activity in deep
gold mining in Owyhee county, re-
duced the gold production of Idaho in
1905 by about 100000 to $1.075,600.
ON the other hand, the activity in the
Occur d'Alene lead mines in Shoshone
county continued and resulted in a
decided increase in the silver proiuc-
ton of the state. although the lead
ores are relatively poor in this metal
a decrease in the output of the Wood
River region in Blaine county partly
offset this favorable development
The total silver production was S.125,-
coo ounces.
Oregon.
The state of Oregon produced gold
valued at $1244 900 in 1905 and silver
worth $54,22S. This was somewhat
less than in 1904. The greatest loss in
gold was recorded in Baker county. in
the northeastern part of the state,
and in Jackson county in the south

A Flare-up on the Board.

The county, commissioners met on
Thursday. After sort of safety-valve
explosion in the opening proceedings,
which will not mark the official record.
the board settled down to the transac-
ton of routine business, concluding it's
session with love feast. Among other
objections to the record as published,
Mr.. Bray called attention to the fact
that changes had been made in the jury
list after it's adoption by the board.
Auditor Carter took serious otfense
when Mr.. Bray asked him. point blank
If the changes were made by design or
by mistake. In rage, he stepped up
to the Commissioner and, shaking his
pencil in his face, said: eff you insinu-
ate that / tempered with that jury list
you're an infamous liar. You're not the
right kind OF man to insinuate that I
tempered with that jury list" The ex-
PLANTATION. as completed later, showed
clearly the trouble was due to the care
lessness of the commissioners them
selves in handing in slips containing, in
the aggregate, too many names. The
auditors only part in the matter was to
try to correct this irregularity, the mis-
take not being discovered by him until
after the board adjourned, when the list
was being copied. The minutes as pub
lished were then approved.

The Truancy Problem.

Sheriff Carhart has accepted the po-
sition of truant officer offered him by
the school board and will by virtue of
the authority given him undertake to
correct a condition that has proven a
handicap to successful school work.
One needs only to LOOK at the school
report for the last month to see good
canse for the important step that the
board has taken. In the grammar de-
partment there was an enrolment of 30
with an average attendance of %. In
the intermediate department the en-
rolment was 36; average attendance, o.
Primary Department. %;
average attendance, l2
This showing is not due wholly to
truancy. The criminal Indifference Of
parents to the educational welfare of
their children is largely responsible.
There must be a change. There must
be better attendance at school, says the
board. The law is strict in the matter.
The child who plays truant and sthe
parent who, without good cause, keeps
his child from school are alike made
auswerable to the law, aud the truant
officer is vested with full authority for
the prosecution of all such cases. In
compelling attendance at school the law
extends a helping hand to the parents of
children who habitually play trnant and
Is at the same time protection to the
children of indifferent parents.
Now, if those whose dereliction has
made this step necessary would right
about-face and follow the command of
duty there will be no trouble. Failing
In this, and the truant officer is thereby
enforced to adopt seemingly harsh
measures, they will have nobody to
blame but themselves.
The school authorities are in earnest.
1t is only to be regretted that this step
was not taken long ago. There can be
no good excuse for such lax school at
tendance as thai shown by the figures
above given.
