needn't worry about the friendship Of

the stingy man that pays his debts,

FOUGHT HARD To RETAIN
FORMULA THAT MADE MONEY
Court Decision Finally Gives Westerner Permanent
Right To Remarkable Medicine

L. T. Cooper, who believes that
stomach trouble causes ninety per
cent of the ill-health of the present
generation, has been in New York
three weeks. His claims are now ad-
mitted by an astonishing number of
New Workers, and the young man Is
winning new adherents every day.
Cooper stated Tuesday that fifty
thousand people in New York city
alone are now trying his medicine. An
hour spent at the young mans head
quarters where he is meeting the pub
lie, would indicate this statement to
be correct. judging from the numbers
who call in that length of time.
In speaking OF his success, recently,
Cooper said: "I believed ten years
ago that anyone who could produce
a formula that would regulate the
stomach would have a fortune. When
I got hold of this formula I knew
within a month I was right and my
fortune was made. 1 called the med
icine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though I did not get up the formula.
I have owned it, however, for three
years. have had one lawsuit over
it. which I won in the Cincinnati
courts When it was settled The

40 DEFENDANTS.
In a Petition Involving the Fore
closure of Mortgage
On Over Two Thousand Acres of
Ellis County Land.
BANK CLAIMANT SLOW
Given Note and Mortgage to Land
But Failed to Record.
Another Claimant Rushes Deed
to Registers Office First.

Hays, Kan, Dec. IA very unusual
petition has been filed with the clerk
of the district court here. It involves
the foreclosure of a $4,000 mortgage on
over 1000 acres of land in this county.
The Bank of Albany, Gentry county,
Mo-. is plaintiff and there are about 40
defendants and all but one are non
residents of Kansas. The principal de-
PENDANTS are Logan H. Peery, his wife
Blanche B. Peery, and Samuel w.
Clark. The Kansan who is in the list of
defendants is Beatrice T. Stapleton of
Allan county.
From the pleadings it appears that
Mr.. and Mrs. Peery gave a note and
mortgage to the bank in May, 1907, but
it was never recorded until November
%, 1907. On November 16, they gave a
trust deed to Samuel W. Clark to Sc
cure the payment of a great number of
notes which Mr.. and Mrs. Peery had
given long time before. Mr.. Clark i'm
mediately sent his deed to the register
of deeds and caused it to be recorded,
and it was duly recorded on the 18th
day of November 1907 lust four DAYS
ahead of the Albany bank. The bank
alleges that there was no consideration
for the trust deed and even if there was
Samuel W. Clark had notice and know
ledge of the bank mortgage.
If there was no consideration then
the bank is first in spite of the fact that
1t was second on the books, that is pro-
vided that 1t can be proven that Sam
ueI w. Clark, the trust deed holder
and the others had notice and know
ledge of the bank mortgage. In one
place the petition uses very cautious
language, "that it has no knowledge or
information sufficient to form a be-
lief"
1t has been long time since a case
involving SO many people, and it is

Can You Tell the Cause
of Your Trouble ?

Are you sometimes discouraged. and
think you'll never be any better?
Can you tell the cause of your trou-
BILE, or what makes you sick?
Do you know that about nine-tenths
of all sickness is caused by kidney
trouble?
Have you ever stopped to think that
your kidneys may be the cause Of your
poor health?
Most people do not realize how
much work the kidneys are required to
do every day.
Every drop of blood in the body
must pass through and be filtered by
the kidneys thousands of times a day.
How can they do their work well IL
they are sick?-
If your kidneys need treatment, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the wonderful
kidney remedy, will prove to be just
the medicine you need.
If you will write to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, every reader
of this paper, who has not already
tried Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy, may re-
ceive a sample bottle by mail, abso-
lutely free. You can purchase the

bottle at all drug stores.

Rudolph Spreckels Sells Stables
and Breeding Farm.
1t Represented Investment of
100000 to Californian.
RESULT OF VENDETTA
Millionaire Sugar King Says
Persecution Did 1t.
"COmmerciaIism'' Ruined Rae
ing and He Was Through.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 11.-Rudolph
Spreckels, millionaire sugar, railroad,
newspaper, and general enterprise man,
made good his threat to retire from rae
ing by the sale this week in the Arcadia
paddock of his horses in training. The
animals were sent to the Baldwin track
in charge of Trainer w. Covington and
were raced at the present meeting to
give horsemen a line upon them. The
sale was announced a week ago.
The sale occasioned some gossip along
quality row, where many OF the noted
Californian's friends of the turf occu-
pied boxes. The story behind MT.
Spreckels' withdrawal from the sport
of racing thoroughbredS is one of the
little subchapters in the long intrigues
of graft prosecutions, sporting vendet-
tas, and shattered personal friendships
which have racked San Francisco and
California for the last hve years. Al
the time former Mayor Schmitz gained
liberation under the bond of Tom H.
| Williams, president of the Pacific JOCK
ey club, Mr.. Spreckels. head and soul
of the graft prosecution, became at
fronted. The friendliness between the
two men ceased, although 1t had ex-
listed for years, and the batteries OF
the reformers, until that time not lev
eled at Williams and his golden mill
across the bay, were at once trained
upon the evils of racetrack gambling,
attacks in Spreckels' newspaper being
the incentive. Early in september Mr..
Spreckels issued a statement announc-
ing the "commercialism. had ruined
racing and that he was Through"
For years Rudolph Spreckels has rae
ed under the title of the Sobra Vista
stable. His breeding farm, stations,
mares, yearlings, stake engagements,
etc, represent an investment of about
100000. Everything will be sold out
in due time. Among the horses sold
were Ell Tremor. ST. Elmwood, Sap AL
viso, Milpitas, Sachet, Dictator, Pro-
Yendure. and eleven yearlings.

''In the passing of Dwight Elwood
Potter-pastor, Christian leader and

His end was peace; there were no

grew to manhood with faith well
grounded and a broad outlook on life
that were to be important elements in
the success of his later ministry. He
obtained the degree of Bachelor of

Returning from an extended tour

Fewer arrests are now being made

ed. The police court docket shows
fewer DRINKS than ever before in the
towns history. Never before was the
town so dry as it is now. Is it pos

case in the police court for drunken

is believed that the police court re-
