taken up the task left off by the fam
lily horse at it's death two weeks ago.
Supplied with es~ecially fitted harness,
she has made it possible for her hus-

Following letter to all the county ar

Der Sir: The terrible hotel fire which
occurred a few days ago at Fort
wayne, Ind, and other recent catas-
trophies OF that kind bring attention to
the provisions of Kansas law concern
ing hre escapes for hotels and other
public buildings. An act passed by the
legislature of 1903 provides that all
buildings used for public gatherings
hotels, etc, which are three or more
stories In height, shall be provided
with one or more metallic ladders or
STAIR hre escapes, and that all hotels
three or more stories in height shall
nave at least one such fire escape for
every thirty persons for which working
sleeping or living accommodations are
provided above the second stories of
SAID buildings, and also provides that
all hotels two or more stories in height,
accommodating twenty or more indiyi-
uals. shall be provided with a rope for
each room, securely fastened to the
wall and that the proprietors of all
such buildings shall keep posted in ev-
cry room notices calling attention to
piled with and designating the places
on each and every floor of such build
1ngs where such ladders, stair fire
escapes and rope escapes are located
and may be found. The chiefs of fire
departments in cities and marshals in
towns are required to investigate and
report to city or county attorneys as to

| complied with. Any violation of any
of the provisions of this act is declared
| a misdemeanor and upon conviction is
to be punished by a fine of not less
than SIS nor more than $500. These are
the essential provisions of the act.
will you kindly state whether the
provisions Of this act have been, or are

ing, or will be taken to enforce its pro-
visions?

LINING UP FOR FIGHT.
Business Interests Prepare to Resist
Advance in Freight Rates.

Chicago, May S.-Commercial and
manufacturing interests OF cities from
the Mississippi river to Maine, aggre-
eating over $1,0OO,O0O, 900 in capital,
are preparing for a Titanic struggle
with the eastern railroads. The Ques-
ton of a general advance in freight
rates is the issue. The gauntlet was
thrown down by the railroads in the
shape of a definite announcement that
on July 1 and August 1, a general ad-
vance in freight rates approximating
10 per cent will be made IN territory
east of the Mississippi river. The
great shippers and manufacturers have
lost no time in accepting the gage OF
combat.
The first move in arraying the COM
mercial and manufacturing interests
of the affected territory in a solid
phalanx against the eastern railroad
systems was made by the Illinois
Manufacturers association. 1t quickly
was followed by a move on the part of
the Chicago Association of Commerce
The former association issued a call
for great conference to be held in
Chicago next Friday Of all the COM
mercial and industrial organizations of
the eastern section of the country. The
meeting will map out a general line
of battle.

REMARKABLE RECORD MADE
BY COOPER IN MINNEAPOLIS

The remarkable success that has
attended L. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality, but is so widespread that the
young man is now, well-known fig
ure in most of the leading cities of
the country.
Mr.. Cooper believes that the stom-
ach is the foundation for most i'll
health, and claims that his prepara-
ton, by regulating the stomach, Is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune of
Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur
prising number of people who are ac-
cepting Cooper's theory. The article
was one of many that appeared dur
ing Cooper's stay in Minneapolis and
is as follows:
1.-THE sale of Cooper's preparation
is now phenomenal in this city. and
an estimate made today seems to in
dictate beyond all doubt that 1t will
equal the large figures reported from
