and have tried to shake the won
derful influence he has over the
people, even going so far as to
threaten prosecution, but as he
does not accept any money for his
services and does not give any
medicine himself, they have been
poWerleSS to interfere.
Cooper created considerable
amusement at the expense of the
doctors by asking them why they
did not write their prescriptions in
English SO their patients would
know what they were taking.
Since the interest has become so
widespread that Cooper cannot
meet the people personally, he is
receiving an enormous mail, and
keeps a large force of stenographers
employed in answering it. In the
meantime stories of marvellous
cures continue to pour in.
Mr.. Vincent Trocolo, living at
4724 Armour avenue, had suffered
agony for months from rheumatism.
In telling of his case he said:
1.-TWO years ago, while in the
best of health, was stricken down
with rheumatism, which affected
my arms so that could not raise
them above my head. For this
reason | had to give up my pro-
fesSion as musician and abandon
my harp altogether; | could not
play it at all. Gradually the
rheumatism spread to my limbs,
and it was with great difficulty that
| could walk; my appetite became
very poor, and began to get dis
couraged.
Zone day read of Cooper's pre-
parations in the newspapers and
what they were doing for Chicago
people, and decided to try them
as last resort, as had tried every
known remedy, but without any
result. purchased treatment,
and soon after commencing same, |
noticed an improvement in nv ap-
petite, which became normal again;
also the pains in my arms de-
creased, and | was soon able to
raise my arms high above my head
and could walk without any diff
Guilty. am feeling fine and expect
to 60 back to my profession again;
it will seem good to be able to play
on my harp once more, l.ut |
should never have been able to do
so if had not used Cooper's pre-
parations, where all others
failed.
81 want to praise these remedies
all can, for they are certainly won
derful.''
Cooper claims to have received
the formulas of his medicines he is
using from an aged priest in
sleepy Spanish town in Old Mexico.
The Mexicans believed that holy
water or supernatural element en-
tered into their composition.
Cooper receives an enormous
daily mail. Letters are coming
from every part of the state, ask
ing for advice.
The philanthropist reads every
letter carefully, and replies to each
one, advising the remedy which is
applicable to each individual case.
While his remarkable cures are
the chief topic of conversation,
many stories are heard on the
streets and in business places of his
goodness to the poor. His gifts of
food, money and clothing have re-
lieved a great amount of distress,
and have greatly endeared him to
the people. He is beginning.to show
the great strain he has been under
the past two weeks, and it is under
stood that he will remain here only
one more week.

THE MODERN AIRSHIP

Strobel's big airship the winner of
the airship races at st. Louis, will
fly at the State Fair every day be-
ginning on Sept. %, and continuing
to Oct, 8. The record of this airship
at st. Louis was five miles in a little
less than five minutes. One of the
features is a race between the air.
ship and an automobile from Helena
to the fair grounds. At the Domin-
ion Fair in Calgary, July l, the air
ship led the procession from the
heart of the city to the grounds,
maintaining its positson at less than
four miles an hour. This feat shows
that the airship is now under abso-
lutte control. There are not to exceed
100 persons in Montana who have
seen a successful flight by an airship
and the State Fair management feel
certain that in this feature they have
a big drawing card. Attractions of
this magnitude place the Montana
State Fair on level with the big
annual shows by other states.

Mir. Fulenwider's Retirement

A. L. Fulenwider, who retires from the presidency and the directorate of the Birmingham Realty company, will devote his time and attention to his private interests, which are large and varied. As the Realty company has been regarded in the nature of pub lie institution, MT. Fulenwider's pro- gressiye and successful management of it's extensive business has attracted wide attention and has called forth enthusiastic commendation on the part of stockholders and public-spirited citi- zens in general.
 In retiring from the presidency MT. Fulenwider submitted report that will be read with more than ordinary interest. It summarizes the operations of the Realty company for the period of years covered by his administration, and the showing is one of which he anu HIS lIleuuS Hay Woli lCCi piouu. It was chiefly through MT. Fulenwiders tireless energy and fine business capac- ity that the Birmingham Realty con- pany, as the successor of the old Ely ton company, was placed on profit able basis and brought to its present strong and prosperous condition.
 As a developer MT. Fulenwider has, | indeed, won for himself an enviable reputation, and it is regretted by many that he retires from the management of the institution which has played so large part in the upbuilding of Bir- mingham. But, in responding to the call of his own business affairs, MT. Fulenwider will continue to be an earn est and public-spirited friend of Bir- mingham and large and helpful fac tor in it's development. And this fact tempers the regret caused by his re- tirement from the Realty company.

ITALIAN SUBJECTS WERE
 TOMASIh0 AND SCANNELA

''Luiguis Tomasino,' is the name of the Italian highwayman who was killed by Deputy Sheriffs Lucien Brown and Sid Cowan Tuesday afternoon near Ems ley, in the battle between the officers and Tomasno and Salvatores Scannella, who suddenly turned into highway rob bers Tuesday morning. -s-s., ,g
 Scannella is confined in the Hillman hospital in custody of a deputy sheriff and will probably be out in a few days. An operation was performed on one of his jaws yesterday, a piece of the bone an inch and half long being removed He was able to sit up in bed by being propped up with pillows yesterday after noon.
 Through an interpreter he stated that the shot which had wounded Monroe Young, the first man attacked by them, was fired by Tomasino. The act he stated was not done with an intention of holding up Young, but was brought about by insulting remark which he claimed Young made to them. He also denied being implicated in the other hold ups. This. however, was offset by both him and the dead man being positively identified by the persons they held up.
 It has developed that both men were still Italian subjects, having come to America 14 months ago from Butera, province of Caltanisetta. The Italian con sul here has interested himself in the case and is making an investigation. It is not believed, however, that he will take any hand in the matter, but allow the American authorities to proceed with the case. Under the law the entence of death may be pronounced upon Scannella.

"swANk" A NEW WORD.

From the Boston Herald.
 Every now and then we hear used the word, "swank,' and it must be appro- priately, for it seems to match the sit- uation But few there are who under stand its precise meaning. The London Globe, however comes to their relief, for it says that .swank' Is called bluf by Americans, and until some genius pre- sented the British nation with the other word 'bluff'' sufficed. "Swanking is the gentlest of all arts. It relies for its suc- cess almost entirely on suitability of demeanor A man may smile and smile, and be swanker. In fact he has got to. If he is not cheerful and attractive he cannot swank, for the swanlxee, re- pelled, edges away, thus rendering his swanking null and void. It is the wide. cheery smile, the hearty back slap and the general acquiescence that makes the swanker Is it worth while admitting the word to the vocabulary?
