l.. T. Cooper. whose theory that the human stomach is the cause of most i'll health and who created furore in Chicago St. Louis and other West ern cities, is meeting with the same remarkable success with his medicine throughout the East. Cooper has con- vinced an immense number of people that his theory is sound and his med icine will do what he claims.
 Perhaps the most interesting features of the discussion this young man Is causing are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusias- tici converts to his~-heliefs.
 Among statements of this character. the following, by Mir. August Wittmer, l049 Rockwell Court, Chicago. is char acteristic of the widespread faith in Cooper which has grown up in com paratiyely short time. Mir. Wittmer says: I wouldn't take $1,000 and be in the condition I was three weeks ago. was practically an invalid for four teen years and think I had about all of, the diseases known.

Pensacola. Fla, Dec. s.--(Special. ) I-W. W. Yarn, a wealthy naval stores operator. with holdings in Florida. Alabama and Georgia. is under arrest
 at Fl Paso. Texas, on charge of de
 sertion of wife and family. and will be
 brought back to this county to stand trial at the next term of the Criminal Court
 The arrest of Yarn was made yes- terday. and this morning Sheriff Van
 Pelt with acquisitions to bring the prisoner from Texas. and to pass
 through the States of Louisiana. Mis- l sissfppi and Alabama, left here for Texas. He expects to return before
 the end of the week with Yarn pris- oner. The charge against Yarn and his ar-
 rest in Texas is the sequel to his res i idence and marriage year ago in this city to an accomplished young woman of excellent family. Two years ago he
 moved to Pensacola and purchased a fine residence in fashionable section of the city. and soon became popular. His wealth and generosity, coupled with the fact that he was the owner of fine horses and automobiles and seemed
 to be living for what enjoyment could
 be obtained from life, made him fa-
 vorite, and he soon become engaged to

 A few weeks later his young wife followed him to Alabama, but return- ed within a few days and has since

 1 Yarn left Alabama for parts un-
 known and for the past six weeks the officers have been endeavoring to 1o- cate him.. They got a trace of him in l several towns and cities in Texas, but each time he had departed for other points when they made requests that I he be arrested. 1t was not until yes- I terday that he went into Fl Paso, where a warrant was held by the Sher- | iff for his arrest.
 I A telegram was immediately sent to Pensacola, which reached here this ! morning and the Sheriff departed with
 in few hours for Texas.
 l Yarn. while practically young man. has made a fortune during the past ! five or six years in the naval stores business in the Southern States, and
 Is said to be immensely wealthy. His

 such a charge will cause much interest when 1t becomes known.

 Matfera. e-

COnhned Lar6eiy to H0uthe
 Little outside of the regular routine work came up before the Board or Revenue at it's regular weekly meeting yesterday morning. The reports Of bad places or, different roads was received and in nearly every case the anxious petitioner wentsaway satisfied.
 The matter of finishing the work on the Cahaba road was again brought up and the work ordered done imme- diatelv. This is relative to about two and one-half miles of the road that was not graveled when the rest of the high way was improved. It was not the fault of the workmen as they were taken off the job to go to other places, but as 1t is expedient to do the work now they will start to hauling gravel at once. The board ordered that part of the Spragg and Red Level road near the new bridge be investigated. It is feared that if it was not improved at once that it will, become impossible later on. N
 As the year Is drawing to close the matter of overseers for next year came up and list of men whom the overseers will appoint was handed in. These are men who have been recom- mended for appointments.

FEDERAL GRAND JURY. But Little Will Be Done This Ses-

z
 when the Federal grand jury Deets today, 1t will probably haye less work to do than has fallen t@ the lot of that body for some time. Violators of Federal statutes in and around Mont .gomery since the last term of the crins- final court have not been numerous, and unless the grand jury springs some surprise there will be few indictments returned
 The case that has attracted the most interest is that of George Lamar. who was bound over to the grand jury last week after having preliminary hear ing. This Is really the only matter that has been referred to the grand jury that has aroused any interest.
 As usual there will be q number of illicit retail liquor cases growing out of the sales of ~whisley among farm CTS and the rest of the work will be or minor cases. It is expected that the criminal docket will be postponed further by Judge Jones because the railroad litigation Is taking up so much lime. rrhe criminals docket has beee indefinitely postponed once. and dt VIII probably not be taken up soon

 Much bitterness was felt between the factions here. For while this morn ing feeling ran high. growing out of the refusal of Sheriff Casey to allow the women of the town to put up a tent in the court house yard to serve refreshments. The sheriff thought the tent was too close to the voting booths. / A personal difficulty took place in which Sheriff Casey, Bascom Brown. A prominent citizen, and others were in- terested. In the excitement, tele- gram was sent to the Governor asking for troops, there being fears, that a riot might follow.
