THEY ARE ACQUITTED.
Proprietors of Chesterfield Establish
Good Name for Their Hotel.

For the first time since he became
probate Judge, Dick Hayden appear
ed in police court last evening as de-
Tending attorney. 1t was the case of
CITY against Ross and Fowler" pro-
prietors of the Chesterfield hotel. These
men, Fred Ross and Wood Fowler, who
formerly enjoyed the reputation OF
gamblers and joint keepers, bought the
Chesterfield hotel about two years ago,
spent $4,000 in rebuilding and remodel
ing the place, and then opened it as a
hoteka The place was Enthusiastically
night but no evidence was found that
the proprietors had lapsed into their
old methods.
The police evidence was based upon
talk between policemen only, in which
the officers decided that it was g. bad
place. The defense brought in % bust
ness men, who hold forth on lower
Kansas avenue, and are acquainted
with the present reputation of the hotel.
They testified that they knew the hotel
was in good standing at the present
time and that it was largely patronized
by persons who avoided it in the old
days under the former management. 1t
was shown that the persons found in
the hotel at the time of the raid were
registered as man and WIFE, and it was
further shown by the testimony of
clerks of other hotels that such persons
frequently slipped by hotel clerks who
did not know them personally.
The proprietors of the hotel are
greatly worked up over the raid.
Regardless of our former reputa-
tion,' said one of the proprietors last
night, I'VE have tried to rejuvenate the
old hotel and run it absolutely on the
square. 1t is an excellent location for a
good hotel. and we figured, when we
went into 1t, that by establishing a
first class trade and living down the old
a n he O0TIl6
1t pay. Before we got 1t and spent over
s4i, 900 in remodeling it, the hotel had a
bad name, and the better class of
patronage from the Rock Island passed
\ On up the street. We have run the
Nslace on strict principles. and have
gained a good business with the better
class of hotel patrons. This raid is a
slam on us. and will no doubt injure
our business We have kept out Of the
public eye for nearly three years, and

pit Of my stomach. a sort of a dull
pain that I could not quite understand.
Then there was a dull headache and
my mind seemed to be wandering con-
tinually. I could not eat. and what
little solid food did eat I could not
retain on my stomach. I tried every
remedy I could think Of and also tried
out a number of patent medicines but
without any apparent result 1t was
through one of my friends that I heard
of Cooper's preparation, and I imme-
diately decided to try some of It, It is
OF 1t, and I feel like new woman. The
headache seems to have disappeared,
and the pain in my stomach along with
it. The medicine Is worth its weight
in gold. and I want to thank Mr..
Cooper for what he has done for me. !"
Mr. Edwin T. Morse. of 20 Oakley
street, Dorchester, suburb of Boston,
says: For three years 1 had not a
well day. My stomach was in fright
full shape; the mere thought of food
would nauseate me. and really had q
horror of anything to eat. All solid
food would cause me extreme indiges-
ton. bloating and gas on my stomach,
and nothing tasted right. Some time
ago I got some of this Cooper's medi-
cines, about which there is so much
talk. I actually feel as well and strong
as boy ever since the first bottle Ev-
cry sign of stomach trouble has disap-
peared, and I have a hearty appetite
and eat three square meals; every
thing seems to taste good. Anyone who
knows what chronic indigestion Is can
appreciate what this means to me. I
consider this the most remarkable
medicine I ever heard Of"
We sell Mr.. Cooper's medicines.
