STRANGE TALES
PROVED TRUE.
NEW YORK ~ 4 TURMOIL OVER
nRILLiANT DEEDS OF YOUNG
y COOPER OF OHIO.

NEW YORK. April 6.-This city Is
at present In the midst of an excite
ment beyond anything that II mas ex'
perienced In recent years. :,
Old and young, rich and poor. all
seem TO have become beside them
selves over an individual who was q
stranger TO New York until few days
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is l.. Il. Cooper, OF Dayton,
ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations In this city Tor the
first time.
Cooper Is a man about 30 years OF
age who has acquired a fortune with
In the past two years by the sale oil
some preparations OF which he is the
owner.
Reports from other cities that pre-
coded the young man here were Oh
the most startling nature. many OF the
leading dallies going so far as TO state
that he had cured In public places

of his preparations. Physicians gen.
orally contradicted this statement.
claiming the thing to lie impossible,
statement that Cooper actually did
so.
In consequence people fiocked TO
him by thousands, and his prepare
tons sold like wildfire.
Many OF these stories were regard
ed as fictitious In New York, and I'M
I'll Cooper actually reached this city
little attention was paid to them.
Hardly mad the young man arrived,
however. than he began demonstra-
lions, as he calls them. In public, and
daily met people afflicted with deaf
ness. and with single application OF
one of his preparations actually made
deaf people hear again.
One OF those treated day or two
ago, in answer to question by a re-
porter said:
Eyes. il is true that my hearing has
been restored by Mr.. Cooper. have
been deaf for twenty years, and 1t
seems so wonderfully strange to be
able TO hear again that l have not yet
become accustomed to the change. In
years past had been to leading spe-
cialists both In this country and In
Europef Who, had. failed to help me,
and / had long go - up all hope.
When Mr.. Cooper came to New
York I went to him but really did
not think he could do anything for me.
However, I now hear perfectly. and
you can publish the news to the
world If you want to. for think 9TH
ers ought to know about this man
Cooper and what he is doing. do not
know how to thank him enough Tor
what he has done for me-"
Statements OF this character have
been made by others. and 1t seems to
be an established fact that Cooper's
work Is genuine.

THE TROUBLES OF ANDYDUPREE
Police Think They Have at Last Clue
to Negro Policy Game.

Troubles do not come singly, but
in punches, to Andy Dupree, the an
cient colored person who has been a
police court victim at frequent inter-
walls for many years. Wednesday af-
ternoon Andrew was found guilty in
police court Of keeping a nuisance,
and fined the customary 500 and 80
days in Jail. He Appealed the case
and gave bond, and felt that his
troubles were over until the next term
of court. Not SO, Augustine. Last
night a squad of policemen visited his
place, an old frame building at 116
Kansas avenue, and arrested him on
a charge of keeping g. disorderly
house. They arrested also, Lena Big
gers, Ada Carrie, Emma Foster and
John Thomas as inmates of the place.
Furthermore. they captured some
cards, poker chips and policy
slips. These slips, which are num-
bers used in the negro gambling game
of policy were not accompanied by
the usual wheel used in drawing the
game, and the officers think that on
account of the strenuous times, Andy
had ditched his wheel and was
throwing the game by mixing the
slips in a tin pan instead Of using a
wheel.

1.-THE man who entertains evil not

congratulated himself on his acute
ness and the skill of his intrigues
thought that he had made provision
for every quarter but he forgot to
account for wholesomeness and lost.
His acuteness in laying intrigues did
not save him from making mistake -
said Prof. Richard Moulton, in his
lecture on Othello last evening, at the
high school assembly hall.

sents the one extreme while the
Greek drama the other. In Shake
speare we find plot laid upon plot
while Greeks limited their drama to
one plot and barely gave that convey

Othello we find eight different actions
which flow along as several separate
streams only later to be united in one
great mighty river of awful tragedy

course; this will be given next We'd

MRS. BURTON WINS.
Secures Verdict for $4,000 Against
Former superintendent Dayhof.

AFTER considering the case for three
hours, the jury in the case of Burton
against Dayhof, came in at noon to-
DAY with a verdict for $4,000 dam
ages In favor of the plaintiff. This is
the case wherein Mrs. G. G. Burton
sued I. l. Dayhoff for $4,000 dam
ages for defamatory article publish
ed In Dayhoffs paper, 1.-THE Kansas
educator, two years ago. In this
article Dayhoff charged Mrs. Burton
with alternating the affections of her
husband, G. G. Burton away from his
first wife and children.
In speaking of the verdict today
Mrs. Burton said:
The verdict is satisfactory to me,
as any verdict against Dayhoff would
nave been. I feel. that I am vindi-
Gated, and the sum awarded does not
matter. have been bounded by this
man Dayheff ever since he printed
the article upon which this suit was
based, and he has written and pub
llshed number of other defamatory
editorials.
II brought this suit for the purpose
of proving to the public that Dayhoff' S
statements were incorrect. 1 felt that
L must do this, not to set myself
right with the public, because 1 think
the public understood the motive OF
Dayhoff's attack and gave 1t no cred
ence, but because I have two children
who are reaching the age where they
read things, and I did not want to
leave them a heritage of charges
against my character and their legfti-
macy, without a record which would
prove the charges a libel. The finding
of this jury, although the damages
are set at a low figure, have proven
that the vicious assault on my charac-
ter, made by this man Dayhof, was
unfounded and libelous"
The Basis of the Suit. e
I. L. Dayhoff, state superintendent
of public instruction, owned and pub
lished a little paper in Hutchinson,
the Kansas Educator. Mrs. Burton,
a woman prominent in educational
circles, attacked Governor Hoch in a
public speech, charging him with
placing on the state text book COM
mission, a man who favored the in
terests of the book trust Dayhoff
took exceptions to this speech, al
though he was not mentioned therein
and published in his paper an assault
upon the character of Mrs. Burton,
whom he charged with alternating the
affections of her husband from his
former wife.

On the above basis the committee
could have returned to each candidate
ninety-nine per cent (99) of his
whole assessment and still had the sum
of $26.36 in the treasury, which
amount might have been used for a
good Fellowship dinner.
At the first meeting of this commit
tee the chairman of the county CEN
trail committee presented, in writing,
over his signature, a partial statement
of the expenses of the proposed pri-
mary campaign of 1908, from which
we quote as follows:
I'm conclusion I want to say a few
words as to my salary as chairman.
The amount per month is Just what
command in my line, and l never have
drawn salary from the committee and
other sources at the same time-the
records in the state architects office
will show this to be a fact
In line with his suggestion we in
vestigated the state records with re-
gard to his salary and found that he is
not regularly on the pay roll of the
state but has been employed at odd
times at the rate of about $3.50 per
day for the time he worked. The total
amount paid to him by the state for
his services is as follows:

$685. 800 o.. $50. .......... S7.50
Total in 1907 ....................$2 76. SO
Investigation of the expenses of the
campaign of 1906 shows that tbs
chairman received a salary of 500 per
month for four months, from July 16,
1906, to November Is, 1906, inclusive.
For the same campaign the secretary
drew salary amounting to $3.50.
Mr.. Van SAINT has repeatedly stated
| that his salary and the salary of the
| secretary were authorized by the ex-
ecutive committee. We went through
, the records of the proceedings of the
meetings of the executive committee
| for the entire time that Mr.. Van SAINT
| has been chairman and no where is
there any record of the executive COM
mittee having authorized a salary for
eth r the chairman or secretary.
Although there appears to have
been a deficit from the campaign of
1906, the chairman and secretary new
er reported the fact to the executive
committee.
Heretofore the position of chairman
of the county central committee has
always been considered an honorary
one and in a sense a stepping stone to
political preferment and his services
have always been given gratuitously
until the time that Mr.. Van SAINT was
elected to the position.
