L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment every
day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. of
all i'll health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory re-
Gently, he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse of the goth century
so far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically ali of the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.
TO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit Of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence. I further know
that few people can be sick with the
digestive apparatus in perfect shape.
The sole reason for my success is be-

A STRONG AND IMPARTIAL COMMISSION.

The annual report of the railroad
commission shows that there are 81
railway companies doing business in
this state with 1892 miles of road, an
increase of trackage in the past vear
of 27S miles. Their total value is S255,
389, 944, an increase over the previous
year of S8,310, 481. The net increase in
earnings for the year was 81 1888, III.
The number of complaints since the
last report We're Y formal, of which
80 have been heard and decided and 413
informal matters which have been dis
posed of, making total of 485 com
plants presented to the commission.
The commission, on its own motion,
has taken up the matter of weighing
freight cars. testing scales, sanitation
of stations, express rates, rates and
service of sleeping car companies, rates
charged on milk and cream between
points in the state including coneen-
tration rates on cream and rates on
pulp wood. The engineering questions
taken up included cost of track wear,
measure of safety in railway operation,
highway crossings, sidetrack locations,
track inspection and valuation OF street
railways.
Under the law enacted by the last
legislature the commission has taken
up and adjusted number OF claims.
The commission was given the same
power over telegraph companies as it
has over railroads and is investigating
service etc. Under the public utility
law complaints are being handled which
cause broad Investigations.
The people of Wisconsin are fortunate
n that they have just tribunal where
4eir grievances may be lodged ard
where they are sure to receive fair and
impartial consideration. The railroad
companies, too, know that their in.
terestS will be well safeguarded by
the commission.

 owing to the strain under which he has labored for the past ten days, James R. Boyd, cashier of Huntsville Bank and Trust Company, killed him- self in the dining room at his home this morning, firing bullet through his brain. He was dead when his wife reached him.
 Intimate friends of the dead man say that he labored under high nervous strain for several days and feared that a run would be made on his bank, and that there would not be enough money to weather the storm.
 Boyd's suicide caused a sensation in financial circles, but an examination of his books proved everything to be all right. Boyd was president of the Huntsville City Council. He was forty. five years old and leaves a wife and two children.
