OVER TWO THOUSAND

Cooper Explains Reason for Remarkable
 Average of Boston Callers
Cooper

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay in Boston it is estimated that sixty five thousand people talked with him and purchased his medicine. This k an average of over two taousand' 'a day
 His success was so phenomenal as In canse universal comment both by the public and the press. mere must be a reason for this. Here IS the reason given in his own words by MT Cooper when interviewed on the SUD- ject He said:
 The immense numbers of people who are calling on me here in Boston is not unusual. l have had the same experience for tn past two years wherever I have gone The reason is IA simple one It IS because my medl- cine puts the stomach in good condi- lion. This does sound unusual, but it is in fact the key to health. The stomach is the very foundation of life. attribute 90 per cent. of all sickness directly to the stomach.
 Neither animals nor men can re- main we'll with poor digestive appa- ratus Few can be sick with diges- ton in perfect condition. As matter of fact, most men and women today are half-sick It is because too much food and too little exercise have grad ually forced the stomach into a half sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was, and that is all that is necessary.
 Among Boston people who are staunch believers in .Mr. Cooper s theory, is MT. Frank D. Brown, of 57

CONTRACT LET.
Bridge Across the St. Francis River at Madison to be Completed by
 August I. 1908.

An iron bridge across the NJ. Francis river al Madison has been the dream and hobby of Hon. r. W. DeRositt, The Times and many other citizens for years, and their advocacy of such an enterprise brought down laughter upon their heads from many. Mr DeRositf was specially active and per sistent; and about year ago. at his own cost he had soundings taken and organized a bridge company. with the idea of building a toll bridge but the company was slow to act, and he and friends to the bridge enlisted Judge Folbre ill the enterprise, and induced the Quorum Court to order the build ing of the bridge by the county. and appropriated 5000 toward the same. The Judge thereupon appointed Hon. F. W. DeRositt, Capt. Jas. Russell and Judge l.. A. Rolfe as commission CTS, who immediately elected MT. II. \. Pharr as consulting engineer ana had plans and specifications made for the bridge.
 Advertisements for bids were pub liShed, and yesterday at noon the bids were opened !n the presence Of the commissioners, Judge Folbre. consult ing engineer H. NJ Farr, and T. C. Merwin. secretary of the commission, and after careful consideration of the afro rf aI | l.s, Virginia Bridge Go. for $29,3l0. The bids were as follows:
 Alsbury X Son.
 Houston, Texas. ........... .S53, g56 Memphis Bridge Co.
 Memphis, Tenn.#..#.=.-...=. 29.500 Midland Bridge Co.,,
 Kansas City. kans .#........ II. 990 NJ. & IIasie,

 Jacksonville, ..s....#.. 37 ,oo0 Joliet Bridge and Iron Co..
 Joliet, Ills. ....=..#........... 39, loo
 A certified check for sl0o0 acc0mpa- nied each bid
 The bridge is to be completed by August l, l90s, barring high water and other unavoidable delays.
 The terms of the contract is S., 0o0 cash, balance in five yearly payments, to be taken from the county general fund. No scrip will be issued, as a sufficient amount of revenue comes in to meet the payments.
 The building of this bridge sounds the death knell to all wooden struc- lures, and we hope Judge Folbres successor will follow in his footsteps and erect iron bridges all through the county.

 The panic was caused by our trying do fourteen billions of trade, OH two and half billions of dollars, while at the same time over one bil- lion dollars of all money was idle in the hands of the people.
