Mr.. Earl Mccoy, living at 1906 So.
Rranson street, Marion, Ind, has
nassed through an experience that is
being duplicated every day in every
town and city of any consequence IN
the United States. 1t furnishes abund-
ant proof of the correctness of L. I.
Cooper's theory in regard to the degen-
eracy of the human stomach, and
shows conclusively the merit possessed
by his New Discovery medicine to re-
store the weakened system to full
strength and vigor q

relatives of the dead man in pursuit,
ran out of the door and around the

Before they could overtake him,
Kenneady ran into the cellar, and, it
is charged, threw the offending instru-
ment in the furnace. Then, crawling
through window, he jumped into a
buggy, and, whipping the horse, left for
Florida.
Kennady and the widow of the dead
man were the only heirs mentioned in
the will. But the widow was left the

Elder Underwood Talks
Elder r. A. Underwood of Minnea-
polls, delivered very practical adj
dress to the students of the Walla
Walla college Wednesday morning at
the time of chapel exercises. He said
in part: 1T is not wrong to be am
bilious for greatness if the motive is
unselfish. The Creator placed in the
first man, Adam, a desire to be like
God, and Satan took advantage of
that desire to lead him to do wrong
in order to attain to that high state.
God designs that we should develop
every capacity of our being that we
may be fitted to do the work which
he has for humanity to do in the earth
before his appearing.
Mans supreme opportunity to de-
velop greatness is at the time OF
crises. All history bears this out
We at this time have reached the
greatest crisis this world has ever
seen or ever will see Two powers
are in the earth, arrayed one against
the other,-the power of God and the
power of Antichrist We are called
upon to come speedily to decision as
to which of these powers shall re-
ceive our homage and allegiance
