YOUNG NAN HAS
new THEORY
Human Life Seems Conferred in Stomach
All Else Is Secondary

The immense success which has fol-
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
lceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a novel
theory He believes that the human
stomach is directly responsible for
most disease. To quote his own words
from an interview upon his arrival
| in an eastern city: 1.-The average man
or woman cannot be sick If the stomach
lis working properly. To be sure, there
are diseases of virulent nature, such
as cencer, tuberculosis, diabetes, ETC.,
which are organic, and are not trace
able to the stomach, but even fevers
can, in nine cases out of 10, be traced
Ito something taken into the stomach.
All of this half-sick, nervous exhaus-
ton that is now so common is caused
by the stomachic conditions, and it is
because my remedy will and does reg
lulate the stomach that am meeting
with such success.

gestive apparatus that is doing its full

Brunton, in the superior court this
morning. Witnesses were all for the
defense The action is a civil one, for
the recovery of possession Of 100 acres
Brunton has had leased, but on which
his lease had expired. The defendant
claims there was verbal lease by
which he was to have the land another
year and that it was acting under this

such lease.
T. o. Webster, Ben Pilchen, Frank
H. McInrose, Fred Rolf and L. j.
Cochrane took the stand in behalf of
the defendant The following is the
list of jurors hearing the evidence: M.
B. Brooke, John E. Webb, w. G. Alec,
John Keough, E. J. Cantonwine, ]. G.
Anderson, c. S. Brown, Henry Mefners,
Frank Truant, John H. Pettyjohn, Trim
Tehan and F. M. Leroy.
The jury in the case of Jobe versus
Raymond late yesterday afternoon, re-
turned a verdict for $2166.75 in favor
of the plaintiff, that being the amount
alleged to be owing for 80 acres OF
land and bill for cultivating 421 acres
of land. The case arose over the sale
of a large body Of land in Columbia
last year. Mr.. lobe sold Ray
mond a tract of land for $40 an acre,
the final settlement to be made when
the land was surveyed and the exact
number of acres in the tract ascer-
tanned. A dispute arose over the num-
Der of acres to be paid for anG also
over a bill owing Mr.. Jobe for seeding
and cultivating 421 acres.

PENDANT, Ira Brunton, after short de-
by the jury.

suit was brought to test the matter.
A demurrer to the complaint was sus-
tanned by the trial court, and the case
was dismissed. 1t was from this
judgement of dismissal that the rail-
road appealed.
The Great Northern has 34.04 miles
of main track and 1913 miles of side
tracks in Snohomish county. The tax
commission ruled that for taxation
purposes the first-class tracks should
be assessed at $14,520 per mile; roll
ing stock at $3,168 per mile; tracks
first class B, at s10,560, and the roll
ing stock at $3.50.
The Snohomish assessor levied at
the rate of $780, for first-class track
age; $4,000 for first class B; $3.50
rolling stock; $4,000 rolling stock B.
The railroad made a tender Of the
taxes minus the $?S1oS.32. but this
was refused by the county treasurer.
The supreme court held that the
county commissioners exceeded their
authority in directing the assessment
of the railroad property at a higher
rate of appraisement tnan the schedule
adopted by the state tax commission.
A similar suit was brought by the
railroad in Stevens county, where the
assessor levied in excess Of the tax
commissioners appraisment. In max
| ing the decision the supreme court says
that the value of the main track must

sOLYMPIA, Feb. 1S.-In making an

The taxes amounted to about $685.
