The story of his early life and hard
ships, his years of toll AID struggle
as a young man was all brought out.
though not his original name: and
he was pointed out as an example
of grit and grim honesty. And it
is said of him that of all upright, un-
swervable governors in this country
today, there is none outranks him
in devotion to duty.

Drunk; Nearly Frozen.-Reduced to
a state of insensibility by the use of
strong drink, a man supposed to be a
farmer residing outside of Davenport,
lay down in the gutter in the snow by
the side of the road near the mile
track Saturday night and was found
later almost frozen to death, every
muscle in his body being stiff with the
cold. Neighbors passing the place be-
tween the bridge and the mile track
saw the body lying in the snow and
gave the alarm. An officer was sent
&c the scene and he supposed the man
was dead, but closer examination
showed signs of life and the patrol
was summoned. The team made a rec
undertaking run to the place and
brought the man to the station 1t
was a real thawing-out process that
was necessary to relieve the fears of
the officers at the station.

secret hope of the Chicago Sanitary

below l.ockport seem fatuous their
hope being dependent on the defeat of
the waterway and a futher grant of

the waterway has been endorsed by
all political parties the only danger
lies in the failure of waters to cast

Over TWO THOUSAND
VISITORS A DAY
Cooper Explains Reason for Remarkable
Average of Boston Callers.

During L. T. Coopers recent stay
In Boston, 1t is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This
is an average OF over two thousand a
day.
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be reason for this. Here is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
ject. He said:
The immense numbers of people
who are calling on me Lcre in Boston
is not unusual. | have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever have gone. The reason is
a simple one. 1t is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but it is in fact the key to health The
stomach is the very foundation of
life / attribute 80 per cent. of
all sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with poor digestive appa-
ratus Few can be sick with diges-
tion in perfect condition. AS matter
OF fact, most men and women today
are haif-sick. II is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into 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 Mr.. Frank D. Brown, of 57I
