suits of L. I. Cooper's visit TO that
city, and the effect OF hts new prepara-
tion as told by people who had become
convinced OF the soundness OF Cooper's
theories with regard to tho human
stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach In civilized races has become
greatly weakened lie claims tnas ..-ast

due TO this faeG The article Is as fol.

81 T. Cooper Is meeting with the
same astonishing success In Pittsburg
as in other cities For the past few
days many thousand OF pittsburg PEG.
PIE have called at hts headquarters to
talk with him.
"Cooper's prophecy. made upon his
arrival. 10 the effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize that
his theory Is correct and would come
and thank him Tor what his medicine
had done. is rapidly being borne out.

rHE COUNTRY IS an RIGHT.

Milwaukee Journal: Business is on
the upgrade. There are more orders
for steel; the monthly earnings Of the
railroads are better; interest rates are
lower; loans are more easily secured;
bank deposits have increased; spring
trade is more brisk; there is a better
feeling in the air. And this is all as it
should be. The recent panic is not
what the doctors would call an "or-
ganic" trouble, it was functional. +"
1t was not case Of disturbed heart,
or an undetermined liver and stomach,
kept up by stimulents and finally col
lapsing. 1t was not that at all The
body Of business was sound. Crops had
been good. Merchants had been doing
legitimate and profitable business.
The country was all right

WHAT True SUCCESS MANS.

Practical Exchange: He has achieved
success who has lived well, laughed
often and loved much; who has gained
the respect Of intelligent men and the
love Of little children; who has filed his
niche and accomplished his task: who
has left the world better than he found
it, whether by an improved poppy, a
perfect poem or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation Of earth 8
beauty or failed to express IL, who has
always looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration; whose memory a
benediction. "

Cooper's claim that the human stom.
ach Is degenerate is distinctly verified.
"One OF the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. G. w. Woods. OF t03
South Highland Street. He said: FOR
four years my wife was In very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and | was
inclined TO believe them. it certainly
looked as though her days were mum.

little ground for hope.

Pittshurg began TO hear OF wonderful
results that had been obtained BY por-
sons who had tried his medicine, SO /
Got some for my wife. She had taken
IL only two days when she was relieved
OF tapeworIn a. feet long. She be-

CHAsEBURG, April q, 1900. E.
Eide has sold his property TO Charles
Scbiicht. and will remove to the Black
Hills with his family in the near future.
Mr.. Eide has been in business here
for a number of years, and it will be
regretted by his many friends that he is
to depart from here, as his honest and
upright dealings with his customers
will be remembered by all after his
departure. We all regret his loss as
business man of Chaseburg but wish
him and his family the best of pros
perity in their new home. Andrew
HoyIand is employed as clerk in c., b.
Wards store. He arrived here with
his wife, April 10. They were greeted
by large crowd armed with COW bells,
tin horns and any thing that could
produce a noise. The bride and groom
were guests of Flo Van Dyke, where
they hid in one corner OF a rear room,
but G. +. Ward, captain of the party,
hunted them out and drove them out on
the veranda and introduced them to the
crowd. Of course Andrew put up, and
got rid Of the noise Harry Hoyt and
Melvin Finstad have just finished cement
walks around their property, which
makes a noted improvement. Not
less than half dozen tobacco buyers
have been securing the country around
here the past week picking up the re-
manning unsold tobacco. j. Henry
Bennett had business in Justice Aiken's
court one day this week Chairman
Kapanka was in town on business.
