DIR. WINERY is WORSE.
Another Operation Performed to Re-
Iieve Blood Clots.

DR.. j. l.. WINERY, who has been in
poor health for several months, owing
to some cerebral trouble that necessi-
tated an operation at Rochester. Mimi,
has not been so well for the past few
days An attack of grippe, accompan-
led by the usual fits OF coughing, Is
believed to have ruptured some small
blood vessel in the brain. At any rate
a bullying of the former cavity became
noticeable, showing pressure, and an
aspirating needle was placed in the old
wound Sunday for the purpose of
drawing off the clotted blood. Consid-
cradle blood was removed, and today
the patient is resting easier, indicating
that the pressure is subsiding. Before
the operation on Saturday night, a
consultation between DR.. Whinery's
physician and DR.. Mayo, at Rochester,
was held over the long distance phone,
and Dr. Mayo approved of the course
as contemplated by the local surgeon.

those OF one, ten, thirty, fifty and 100
ears. The corn entered is of all kinds,
yellow, white and red. and of all quail
tiles. Much of it, even the ineNperi-

Glasses Will Grow.
Those in charge of the short course
were confident this morning that the
registration for the two large classes
would reach 200 before night and by
Wednesday it would have grown TO
fully $50 The latter figure is the mark
set to insure financial success. The
number of the registrations up to noon
of the first day is considered remark
ably large, and much larger than the
record for the first day of other coun-
ty short courses which have proved
successful.

chosen so that the farmers can get a
better start for their homes.

DAYTONIAN
WELCOMED
7. Amusement In Boston Over
Operations Of a Young
Ohio Man
TEARS OF JOY FILLED EYES
Could Hardly Believe Their Ears When
They Learned That Use OF Lost
Sense Had Been Restored in Re-
markable Manner.

Boston, Feb. 16-Some remarkable
demonstrations were given in public to-
day BY L. 7. Cooper, who is introduce
ing fer the first time in Boston the
preparations which created sensa-
tion in other cities recently visited by
him.
Cooper is remarkable character
with peculiar and original ideas, and
the announcement Of his coming to
the Hub City created widespread in
tereSt.
AS a consequence, when it was
learned that he would appe..r in pub
lie the place selected for his head
quarters was crowded, some coming
merely to get a glimpse Of the man
himself, others to test his skill in
overcoming disease. AS nearly as
could be learned the facts In regard
to the demonstration were these:
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
young man agreed to show what one OF
his remedies would do for deafness,
and agreed to make any one present
who was afflicted with deafness hear
again in less than three minutes.
There were many deaf people pres
sent and about dozen Of these were
given the demonstration, consisting Of
single application of one OF the
Cooper preparations.
The hearing Of these people was
then tested after an interval of be-
tween two and three minutes. The
test consisted of questions put to them
in an ordinary conversational tone at
distances varying from five to thirty
feet.
The. results were remarkable in the
extreme Some of these people who
were treated had been deaf for num-
Der Of years. When the first question
was asked, a look Of amazement would
spread over their faces and they would
forget to answer the question. AS the
questions were repeated the surprised
look would give way to one of delight.
Many were SO affected that they burst
into tears and were scarcely able to
answer the question.
In no single instance, so far as could
be learned, would an individual fail to
hear. Many were able to hear a finger
snap at distance Of thirty feet. At
were put to them by their friends. or
ny tATlOuS SpcCldlOIS, III dl y
tone of voice, and the questions Were
readily answered.
In giving an account of these DEM
constructions, Mr.. Cooper said:
1.-THE preparation used is not the one
with which I accomplish most. as my
New Discovery, as it is called, and to
which owe my success, is for the
treatment Of all forms of stomach
trouble and the general breaking down
Of the system that follows in the wake
of diseases Of this character.
1.-THE stomach is the seat Of great
many troubles for instance, my rem
edy will relieve thousands of people of
rheumatism in this city, simply by
getting the stomach in working order"
Many people seen who were present
at this demonstration assert positively
that Cooper undoubtedly made these
deaf people hear again.

1.-THE RIVALS"

Comedy.
zone cannot witness a presentation
of one of the old standard British
dramas by a really standard company
without drawing a comparison that
isn't quite to the advantage of the
modern play. Richard Brinsley Sher-
idan's comedies, for example, compare
with the average so-called comedy Of
the latter day about as the poetry Of
Byron and Tennyson does with that Of
well, it is hardly worth while to call
names.
"There are few habitues Of the play
house, who have not seen The Rivals
many times, for it is a comedy that
many actors like to play, and one
which the late Joseph Jefferson has
produced hundreds of times within the
memory of the present generation For
years the idea has been prevalent that
no one could play the character OF

sented by Good Company to Large

House.
Montana" melodrama of the cow
country, was presented by. an UNUSUAL
ly capable company to capacity house
at the Odeon Sunday night. No better
play of it's kind, prices considered, has
been presented at the Odeon in several
seasons. Its four acts contained plenty
of action, some gun play, and a plot
of sustained interest from the start to
the final curtain. The finale of the
second act proved climax that all but
brought the house to it's feet. One Of
the principal characters Of this scene
was the mare, Dolly Warden, which
galloped alone on the stage, to be
mounted and carried away by =, mas
ter who had broken Jail.
In acknowledging the applause the
mare came upon the stage unattended
and bowed and paved her appreciation.
