COURT DECIDED
 IN HIS FAVOR
Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which
 Has Made Fortune.

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes that 90 per cent. of all i'll health of this generation is caused by stomach trouble. is fast winning national faith in his theory. His claim is now admitted by surprising number of people throughout the country. and he is gaining new adherents every day.
 While speaking of his success in a recent interview, Mir. Cooper said: "I believed ten years ago that any one who could produce formula that would thoroughly regulate the stom- ach would have a fortune. When got hold of this formula l knew with in six months that 1 was right, and that my fortune was made. l called the medicine Cooper's New Discovery, although I did not get up the formula, 1 have owned it, however. for over three years. I have had one lawsuit over it, which I won in the courts
 When 1t was settled The Cooper Medi
 cine Company became the only firm in the world that can prepare the medi cine. The preparation has sold like wildfre wherever introduced. As have said before, it is successful sim. ply because it puts the stomach ir perfect shape. then nature does the rest. There are any number of com paints never before associated witf stomach trouble that the medicine has Qlleyiated in thousands of cases.

WEDDING SHOWER.
MISS kollwage. Lovely Honoree of
 Delightful Affair.

iilis year haS been especially rich In pretty brides and the bride of this week Is no exception. Her appear ance at the shower given in her honor on Tuesday by Mrs. N. W. Nor ton, will justify this statement. Among many beautifully gowned women she was conspicuous.
 The hostess is noted for her careful attention to detail, and in arranging her program evinced this quality. The beautiful home was bright with many lights, bringing into strong relief the beautiful furnishings and decorations. Chrysanthemums were used in lavish quantity, and, in combination with dahlias of glowing red, formed the en- tire floral scheme-th different colors being grouped in the different rooms.
 The dining room and parlors were in white chrysanthemums, the other colors appearing in the reception hall and music room.
 The dining table was laid with a rich lace cover, r,and in the center a tall vase Of white ehrysanthemums was oYerhung with bridal veil drapery which came from the chandelier to the corners, being caught with ribbon bows and blossoms. Cream in white pink and green with cakes and pink and green bon bons were served. Misses Ardale Rollwage, Norma Isaaes and Virginia Norton assisted in serv- ing the refreshments.
 The white and gold parlors were the scene of the shower. and the smaller one was prettily garlanded with pink and white hearts and from the center large floral design of two hearts pierced with golden arrow, was sus- pended. Underneath this the honoree stood and received the toasts and spe- cial honors of the occasion.
 Miss Rollwage's costume of dark green velvet, with lace garuiture, was especially becoming Mrs. N. N. Norton acted as toastmistress. and as the toasts were given they were drank with hearty good will. Mrs. John l. Jones responded to the toast, "The Bride, with a glowing tribute to the charms of Miss RollWage. Miss Louise Gatling, with her usual felicity of speech, toasted the groom. Mrs. T. w. Barrow told "IIow to be Happy Though Married" and Mrs. P. II. Barker gave prophecy of happy years to come: "A charming bride-to-be and handsome groom-to-be, are splendid subjects for a prophecy" and such she found it, picturing the fu- ture in glowing terms, and ending with the cOuplet:
 ''The bride who weds in bleak No
 vember
 Will ever happy be-remember. v
 From it's concealment behind the fiowery hearts, fell the shower-such an array of beauty and usefulness. Surely our brides are we'll beloved. Friends vie with each other to supply every occasional need.
 \ charming musical program was given by Mrs. Alderson, the Misses Jordan and Land.
 In the receiving line were Mrs. Norton, Miss Rollwage, Mrs. O. B. Rollwage, Miss Ida May Driver, of Osceola: Miss Laura Goyan, of Ma rianna; Miss Louise Gatling, and Mrs. Be. Jackson, a guest of Mrs. Norton.

Rheumatism, as every one knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is
condition produced by the failure OF
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, if not eradicated. either
in the urine or through the skin pores

forms about the joints and muscles
causing the untold suffering and de
formity of rheumatism.

PARTNERS OF KING LEOPOLD
Ryan and Rockefeller, Jr., "Done" by
Monarch.


New York, Dec. 24.-That Thomas
Fortune Ryan. though an equal part
ner. is only King Leopold's catspaw in
the Congo. is asserted in a signed ar
ticle in the American.
1T is true" says the American.
that Ryan. with young Rockefeller
and others, holds a concession of inn
mense value. But he does not con-
troll It,
when Leopold failed to draw ltal-
ian capital and labor to Africa he
looked to Wall street as his only sal
walton. l don't know how much money
the Ryan crowd gave, but it was an
enormous amount. do know, how
ever, that with the money the old king
began purchasing more shares. He
had his agent md out just how much
stock he would need to have an equal
interest with the Ryan crowd. Then
he acquired all the shares he needed
His next move was to force them
into an agreement that for every
American or European employed by
Ryan there must be a Belgian EN-
ployed by the king. He then had the
advantage of Ryan In every possible
way.
mot only did the king insure a fa'
profit to himself from the American
syndicate, but he fixed himself so h'
appears only as a shareholder in the
syndicate. The territory he gave owe
to Ryan can rot be inter1ered with by
Belgium or any other nation; it has
