Remarkable Instance of the Power
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills in

Reported from an
Iowa Town.

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills have

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
joined by many physicians in a dis
cussion of his beliefs and medicines.
Mr., Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without first
alternating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and Wom-
en- of this generation are half-sick.
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach in 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting in
each what he calls a campaign of
education. For the past year he has
met the public in the larger cities
of the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands of
people have focked to his headquar-
tiers wherever he has gone, and the

anything of the kind ever before wit
messed.
Possibly the. most interesting fea-
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs thru his medicines, have
to say on the subject. The following
statements are from two well known
residents of Chicago and Boston, re-
spectively, and the enthusiasm of these
is characteristic Of Cooper's admirers
generally.

WOULD CANCEL CITIZENSHIP.
Two Davenport Men Not Faithful t.

Cnacial to Times z enl1hlinan


Davenport, Oct. 25.-A motion to dis
miss Il request for citizenship papers
and to set aside the order admitting
the petitioners to citizenship, has been
filed in the office of the district court
of Scott county, by Milton NJ. bearing.
United States attorney. The two Pc
titfoners against whom the motion is
directed are William David Neils and
Gustav Folster.
This is probably the first time that
a case of this kind has come up in
the Scott county district court The
motion brought by Attorney bearing
in behalf of the United States, states
that William David Neills is not a
minor as declared in the petition, his
intention of becoming citizen having
been made by his father. A similar
declaration is made in the case of
Gustav Folster. In the case of Neils
it asks that he be made to deliver up
the citizenship papers granted him for
cancellation, and in either case it
asks that the order admitting the pc
titioners to citizenship be set aside.

Iowa Falls, Oct. 25.-Mayor Bryson
issued a call today for a mass meet
ing to be held at the Metropolitan
opera house, on Sunday afternoon.
This meeting is called to consider fu-
t,,re MANS for the conduct Of the hos
pital. A committee appointed by the
council to take up the matter thinks
a meeting should be held, that the
public may be fully appraised OF the
condition of affairs surrounding the IN
stitution and il possible, devise ways
and means for putting the hospltai Oh
a substantial basis. The title to the
hospital rests In the city, but the law
denies the council from making any
appropriation to aid the institution
aside from the necessary repairs. There
appears to be general desire to aid
the institution financially by a levy
and special tax, but the legal techn1-
calities forestall any such aid.
For a year or 50, the hospital mas
been in charge Of an association COM
posed of the doctors Of this section,
but they assert that the income has
been insufficient to pay the expenses,
each year showing a deficit of few
hundred dollars. This association has
accordingly declined to conduct the
hospital This action leaves the mat
ter wholly in the city's hands, and the
public will be given an opportunity of
going on record at the coming meeting
in the way of financial support. The
institution is one Of the best hospitals
in point of building, location and equip
ment, to be found in this part of the
state. and unless some way is found
to provide the necessary funds, it may
become necessary to turn the property
over to some society that will agree
to continue the hospital.

Sioux City, Oct. 25.-Because she

OF love, Miss Louisa Bigbear, a
charming little 17year-old Indian
maiden, was kidnapped from the Win

Grow, her rejected sutton and is being

The Indians of the reservation, es-
pecially the parents OF the girl and her

to do the Great Grow harm if they

Constable Joseph Grayhair, the In
dian policeman of the reservation to-
day secured the assistance of the city
police in running down the kidnapper
and his pretty captive, who are sup
posed to be camping within a mile OF

Great Crow is known as desperate
Indian, inclined to drink considerable
firewater, and some apprehension is
felt for the safety of the little Indian
maiden. 1t is expected the police will
affect her release and the capture OF

In the hearings now in progress pc

state rate is not to be compared be-
cause the interstate rates are elastic.

Iowa rates were elastic. They would

manufacturer. The entire argument is
that the railroads wish the privilege
of putting in special rates from one
point to another and OF holding up
the rates between other points of like
distance on the same commodity.
The argument of the manufacturers
is that whether they ever shipped any
brick to Council Bluffs or not they
ought to have a rate from Des Moines
to Council Bluffs that is better than the
rate from Galesburg so that they can
have a chance to reach into the ter
ritory whether they ever do or not
