ACCOMpLISHES
Some Remarkable Results With
His Preparations.
Cooper's Statements Are Borne
Out by Facts.
Many Persons Are Said to Have
Received Benefit.
RELATES INTERESTING CASE.
MIR. J. L. Hayslip Tells How He
Recovered From Rheumatism.

This week has witnessed many re-
markable occurrences at Cooper's
headquarters, StansieIds Drug Store
632 Kansas ave.
People who came to purchase these
famous preparations when Mr.
Cooper first arrived here, are now
coming back in great numbers to ex-
press their thanks for what the medi-
cine has done for them.
Many of these persons have suffer
ed for years with various disorders,
but although using numerous reme-
dies that had been recommended they
were unable to secure any permanent
relief.
will illustrate what is happening ev-
cry day, occurred Tuesday. Mr.. J. L.
Hayslip of Oakland, Kan, had suffer-
ed for some time with rheumatism,
but could get no relief, hearing Of the
wonderful success Cooper's remedies
were having in Topeka he decided to
give them a trial.
What the result has been is best
told in his own words. He said:
For some time I have been a suf-
ferer from rheumatism, it finally be-
came so bad that I could not sleep
nights. and I was getting worse every
day, despite the fact that I was US
ing different remedies that had been
recommended to me.
MY wife was also suffering from
nervous trouble, she often times could
not handle her dishes without Drop
ping them, she did not rest we'll at
night and, like myself, was getting
worse every day.
"One evening 1 happened to notice
in the Topeka papers an article about
the wonderful preparations which
Mr.. Cooper was introducing in that
city. I read the article to my wife
and although we did not think these
remedies could help either of us, we
decided to give them a trial.
This was over a week ago, and
now I am here to say that this is the
first medicine that / have ever used
that has done exactly as claimed. AL
though we have taken the treatment
but a short time, I can say that it
fully and I can sleep peacefully at
with my wife. she does not seem to
says that she is beginning to feel like
a new woman.
people who are sick can talk all
they wish about not being able to
get any relief, but I want to say that
the Cooper preparations do every
thing claimed for them and even
more 1t is a wonderful remedy
Such expressions as these coming
as they do from people who have
been sick is evidence that Cooper's
remedies are accomplishing some re-
markable results in this city.

bag containing the stolen harness un-
der the bed. The other stuff was
missing. Workman claimed that he

AFTER BRICK TRUST.
City Will Have Open Competition in
Paving Contracts

Open competition shall rule in the
brick paving contracts let by the city
this spring declares the city admins
tration. A fight will be waged on the
local paving brick combine which is
made up of the Capital City Vitrifed
Br1ck and Paving company, the Topeka
Vitrihed Brick and Tile company, man
ufacturers, and a few favored contrac-
tors who get inside prices on the brick
from these manufacturers. Outside
contractors have often attempted to
come and bid against the local strong
combination but they were discouraged
before getting more than half way in
Last year for the first time in years did
an outside contractor succeed in wrest-
ling away the big plum Of paving from
the local contractors. H. N. Rice of ST.
Joseph who was connected with brick
manufacturing plant at St. Joseph man
aged to secure the lowest bid and as he
had the brick at his disposal too he
was in a position that was entirely
strategic But though the local COM
bine was sorely disappointed deal
was made by which Rice disposed of his
contract to the local contractors and
the local manufacturers again furnish
ed the brick.
This year it is not expected that Rice
will bid but the city hopes to secure
the presence of other bidders who are
in a position to lay the brick down in
Topeka at sharp competitive prices
with the local combine. The city ia
vors giving the contract to local bid
ders and the use of local brick but it
does not want to pay more than the
ruling price for the work done nor the
material. Plans are now being laid by
the city which will tend to offer strong
inducements to paving contractors from
Coffeyvi1le, Caney, Kansas City, Kan,
and Kansas City, Mo-, to enter into the
Topeka field.
The specifications for paving will also
be materially altered this year. They
will provide for the laying Of brick paw
ing blocks having dimensions Of 33x
| inches by four by nine inches. This is
almost a third larger than the ordinary
sized paving brick The new brick are
called ''bIocks.'' They will also be pro-
vided with lugs which will only permit
of them being laid so far apart in order

RANGES ARE IN
 GOOD CONDITION
Tim BIevln, Cattleman Of the Chiricauhas, Says Things
 Look Fine.

Tim Bleyin, one of the well known cattle men Of the Ch'ricahuas, ar rived in Bisbee yesterday for a short business stay. He has been in the stock business there for number of years, and states that everything is looking fine in that district.
 "The range is first class this year and the stock is generally in first class shape. I consider this year one of the busiest the stock men have experienc- ed for some time past, and there is generally a good feeling on every hand. The general impression is that taere has been sufficient rain during the past season to insure a fine range for the coming year, which should put the ranchers in the Chiricahuas in good shape.
 The prospectors and those having mining properties in the district have already completed their assessment work and none as far as I can learn have let their claims go back on ac- count of failure to do the required amount of assessment work. The town of Paradise is holding its own, and the merchants state that they have been dcing more business of late than they have for the past year We are feel ing the revival of business the same as the other parts of the country are now doing.

BETTER TRAVELLING
 SERVICE SECURED
Pres, Buxton Thinks BiSbee People Will Get Service They
 Are Entitled To.


 The recent train service whica has recently been inaugurated on the Southwestern has proved great sat isfaction as well as convenience to the people. not only travelling between -Btsbee- and surrounding local points, but going to Fl Paso and eastern points as well.
 In the recent meeting the Bisbee Board of Trade will in all probability result in adding new conveniences for the travelling public. as it is promised that if everything goes through satis- factory to the two railroads, not only will there be a through Pullman ser vice from Fl Pasos to Bisbee. but also from Bisbee to the coast, an entirely new thing to the people of this sec ti1n of the southwest.
 When 1t is arranged that the people of Bisbec can step into a Pullman car for all points on the coast and prae- tically to all points east, it will be a convenience that the people of Bis bee have been entitled to for years. In speaking of the matter President Buxton, of the Board of Trade, said: ''It now looks as if the people here will have what they are entitled to, as we had the assurance of the representa- tives of the Southern Pacific and the Southwestern that they will do their best to see that the people of Bisbee are properly cared for"

 CHRISTMAS ON
 NEXT SUNDAY
Glad Tidings of Christmas Time Found Expression In Ser mons Preached At Various Churches Sunday.

All of the places of worship in the city were well attended by devout members Sunday. More than usual in- terest attaches to religious services at this season because of the close prox- imity of Christmas with its attending lessons of Christian character and kindly fellowship. The story of the Savior's birth and His life's mission so we'll exemplified in glad Christmas time was the central theme of the days sermons.
 Baptist Church.
 Rev John E. Kanarr spoke from Luke 2:14. He said in part: There are two versions of this text. Each is acceFsed. Meyer and many otherg adopt the Common Version" But documentary evidence favors the American Standard Revision" Hsw- ever, neither of the two texts is so un- occasionally certain as to nullify the other.
 1. Glory to God in the highest" A heavenly light breaks the midnight darkness and the stiffness is relieved by the voice of heavenly messenger. \ few humble shepherds hear the first gospel sermon: which is effective, making the whole congregation mis- sionaries. The prime object of the ministry is to make a ministering church. The praise is universaI; not confined to earth, but reaches the high est heavens.
 ?. "on earth, peace" These angels witnessed satan's rebellion in heaven; beheld the first murder, and looked upon bloody wars between nations. Now they announce peace" which has come so far as Christ has been ad. mitted into the individual life. Christ in every life will bring universal peace.
 3. Good will toward men" Good will is more than good nature. It stands for the greatest force in man. Impossible to will a person good with. out tangible evidence. This vital force in men will settle all problems and difficulties. Take Christ as your savior and guide and make His birth a real joy in your life.
