CITY EXCITED.
Cooper Has Stirred Up
People Of St. Louis.
Young Mans Medicines Have
Seemingly Done All Claimed.
Thousands Of People Are Calling at
His Headquarters Every Day.

81. Louis. JAN 1A.-ThS city is at
present in the midst of an excitement
beyond anything that it has expert
enccd in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor. all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was IL
STRANGER to St Louis until two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is l.. r. Cooper, President OF
the Cooper Medicine Co. of Dayton.
Ohio, who is at present introducing his
picparatiuns III this city for the first
time.
Cooper is Il man about thirty years
of age who has acquired a fortune
within the past two years by the sale
of some preparations of which he is
the owner.
Reports from Eastern cities that
preceded the young man here were OF
the most startling nature. Many OF
the leading dailics going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured in pub
lie places. deafness of years standing
with ono OF his preparations. The
physicians Of the East contradicted
this statement, claiming the thing to
bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did 50.
In consequence people flocked to him
by thousands and his preparations sold
like wildfre.
Many of these stories were regarded
as fctious in st. Louis. and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
-n6
| had be began demonstrations. as he
calls them, in public. and daily rn"'
people afflicted with deafness. and
| with a single application Of one Of his
preparations actually made deaf people
| hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper adj
vanccd the theory that stomach trou-
BILE was the foundation of nine out of
| ten diseases. and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order. and thus
get rid of such troubles as rheumatism
| 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 through the use Of this prep
aratiOn, and now all st. Louis is ap-
His headquarters resemble vcrit-
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 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 a let-up. Physicians claim it to be
fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he already seems to have
accomplished a great deal for the sici.
OF this city with his preparations.

WILL BE A FIGHT
OVER CONSTITUTION
Question Of the Adoption Of the Instru-
ment Is Now Agitating Business
Men and Politicians

Just at present the most interest
ing topic CT discussion among politi-
clans and others is as to whether the
constitution will be adopted or de.
teated. The subject has been brought
tie more prominently before the peo-
pie because of che TACT that G. N.
Haskell has charged that Lee Cruce,
a leading Democratic candidate for
governor, is really opposed to the con-
stitution, and because Of the recent
action Of the Republican executive
committee at Oklahoma City in re-
fusing to advise the acceptance Of the
constitution, at least at the present
time.
There will, of course, be a heavy
vote against the constitution; that
was to have been expected. Many
people in the Indian Territory are OPP
posed to statehood, principally the
fullbloods and old-tlmers who want no
taxes. Then it is quite possible the
negroes will oppose the constitution
in spite Of the fact that the Jim
Crow clauses were not Inserted. There
will be, also, votes against The consti-
tuition from several Of the Oklahoma
counties that we're so ruthlessly
butchered blythe constitution. And
some Of the saloon influence will be
against the constitution, since it is
figured that the prohibition feature
will certainly be adopted as a part Of
the instrument.
But, in spite of all. and notwith-
standing the many defects that are
embodied in the constitution, it will,
if The Chieftains Investigations are
correct, receive large majority in
this section. In fact, there will prob
ably be more Democratic than Re-
publican votes against it, since most
OF the old-timers who oppose it be-

cause 1t means taxes, are Democrats.
Judging from the expressions Of the
Republican press of the new state, the
Republican party will refuse to com
nit itself to policy Of the opposi-
tion to the constitution. There are
very few Republican papers that have
thus far come out IN open opposition
to the constitution. On the other
hand many Of the leading Republi-
can papers have advised strongly that
the constitution be ratified, and that
the Republican party pledge itself to
mend the defects in the constitution.
Among the papers that have advised
this course are the Oklahoma Post,
the Oklahoma 1'imes-Journal, the
Muskogee Phoenix, the Tulsa World,
the Bartlesville Enterprise. The
Guthrie State Capital has not yet
taken definite stand, but it will
probably be against the constitution,
for Henry Asp opposes ratification,
and the Capital usually follows his
lead
The Republican committee has past
tie matter up to the rank and file of
the Republican party, as represented
in the state convention to be held soon
after the constitution is signed. Re-
publicans who desire statehood there

tion Of delegates who will be opposed

OFFICES TO
Be MERGED

washington, Mar. 22-From relia-
BILE sources it is understood there is to
be general shaking up of things in
the interior department. The land
and railroad divisions are to be merg-
ed with the general land Office and
the two Indian divisions are to be
merged with the Indian bureau and
placed directly under the control of
the Indian commissioner, Leupp.
These changes will do away with
much red tape concerning the Indian
Territory business.

The dance That Lead 10 Death


Among the many brilliant scenes
that the production of 'The Holy
CITY" presents, none is more sensa-
uionally superb than the one in which
Salome, the beautiful daughter Of
Herodias, dances before King Herod
and his court In diaphanous drap-
cry, kaleidoscope as butterflies wings
in rainbow rays, its folds rising and
falling around and above her nimble
feet like clouds carressed Oy summer
winds, bending and swayingIin harmo-
nious motion to the enticing music
played, the royal dancer floats like a
bubble on the palace terraces, bewitch-
ing the intoxicated monarch who first
offers half his kingdom, but finally
grants the head Of John the Baptist,
as reward for sensuous delight. Ex-
quisite as are the surroundings of the
situation, its dramatic intensity Is
never lost; the conspiracy and its fate
ful ending hidden for the moment by
the alluring acting seldom witnessed
on a stage. Luella Morey, specially
engaged to play Salome, gives the diff
fcult role chat fire and intensity
which the character demands.
