PEOPLE OF THE WEST
FLOCKED TO SEE COOPER
Sufferers from All Sorts of Ills Eager to Learn
About His Theory and Medicine.

every day, DESPITE the fact that I
was using various remedies that had
been recommended to me.
Zone evening 1 happened to notice
in the Topeka papers an article about
the preparations Mr. Cooper was iH-
Producing in that city, and although
l was skeptical of results, I decided
to give them a trial.
e went to Mr.. Cooper's headquar-
ters and bought a bottle of the New
Discovery medicine. 1t seemed to
help me from the start, and within a
week I was feeling like a different
man. It's continued use has relieved
me of rheumatism and my sleep IS
now sound and restful. l am feeling
better in every way.
MY wife also used the New Dis
covery with very beneficial results
for kidney trouble and nervousness.
Frequently while handling the dishes
her arm would give a jerk and the
dishes would fall to the floor and
break She could not rest well at
night. She had severe pains across
her back and felt weak and exhausted
all the time.
after taking Cooper's New Discov-
cry a short time her nerves were Won
derfully quoted and strengthened. the
pain in her back subsidized, she slept
more sOundly and felt much improved
in every way. The New Discovery
did her more good than any medicine
she had ever taken.
"Cooper's New Discovery is the first
medicine I have ever used that has
done exactly as claimed. and I can
honestly recommend it to others"
Cooper's New Discovery is on sale
by all druggists everywhere. A sam
pie bottle mailed free upon request
by addressing The Cooper Medicine
Company, Dayton Ohio.

The Love Of Danger.

One of the scheduled features of the
Hudson Fulton program in New York
city is a series Of aeroplane flights by
Mr.. Wilbur Wright and Mr.. Glenn Cur
tiss. The aviators were to have taken
the air yesterday, but conditions were
unfavorable, with a high wind blowing
and a drizzling rain falling. When i'm
portuned for information as to when
he would go aloft, Mr.. Wright declared
that he did not intend to give an exhi-
bition flight in adverse circumstances
unnecessarily, and went on to say some
thing about not catering to a morbid
public. His life. he said, was his own.
and in his own hands, and he believed
that the crowds that came to see him
were actuated mainly by desire to wit
ness an accident. He had noticed in
the course of his flights in France that
after his brother Orville was injured here
at Fort Myer the crowds that attended
his flights We're three times as large as
before.
Mr. Wright has merely stated the latest
phase of a familiar public tendency. An
unconfessed wish to be present when an
accident occurs turks in the mind of a
large majority Of people, 1t may never
be given expression. and. probably, when
. AGcussd OF such . thought the one who

harbors it will Indignantly deny such
motive impelling him to witness danger
Gus exhibitions of human skill and IN
trepidity 1t is this latent hope that
holds a crowd in the street watching
steeple jack at work far above the pave
ment 1t is this same lurking desire that
renders the daredevil performances at
the circuses popular. If the public were
sure that there was positively no danger
in so-called loop-the-loop acts in the saw
dust ring, these items would lose thelr
value. The high trapeze performances
have long since lost their subtle charm
since nets were spread beneath the per-
formers, and additional means OF shock
ing and thrilling spectators have become
necessary.
1t is unfortunate that the wonders OF
aeroplaning cannot be appreciated IN
themselves, without reference to this I'M
confessed desire to see mishap. the
work of the Wrights at Fort Myer was
wonderful in itself. Fortunately, during
the second series Of exhibitions there was
no mishap whatever, beyond the crush
ing of the skids one afternoon when
the machine in descending struck small
bush. Scientifically. these demonstrations
were infinitely more valuable for the lack
of mischance, but probably the public
did not appreciate them as keenly as
though a few bones had been broken.
Possibly there will never be a change
in this respect. 1t may be that as long
as men remain constituted as they are
they will secretly crave the excitement
which is caused by the possibility of
tragedy. At present the automobile races,
with their high percentage of risk Of
human life. cater chiefly to this desire.
Perhaps in the near future air races will
have replaced those of the. surface ma

The Estimates and the Organic Act

The Estimates and the Organic Act.
p. In making their estimates of the needs
Of the District government for submits
sion to Congress, the Commissioners
should be guided primarily by the or
ganic act OF 1873. providing a system of
government for the District of Columbia.
That act requires that the estimates shall
J be submitted annually to the Secretary
i. of the Treasury for his examination and
approval, with a statement showing in de-
tail the work proposed to be undertaken
by the Commissioners. and the estimated
cost; the cost of constructing, repairing
and maintaining all bridges within the
District; the cost of maintaining all pub
,lic institutions of charity, reformatories
! and prisons; the expenses Of the Wash
ington aqueduct and it's appurtenances.
] and an itemzed statement of the amount
;. necessary to defray the expenses of the
government of the District.
1t matters nothing at this time whether
the District owes anything to the federal
treasury or not. The organic act re-
.quires a statement of the estimated cost
of maintaining the District. and the cur
rent appropriation act specifically limits
y those estimates to the amount of the ex-
{ pected revenues of the District, plus an
equal amount of federal money. There is
E no obligation of law for the Commits
sioners to take cognizance in their esti-
mates of floating Indebtedness created
by Congress as an expedient for main
= tanning an ineQuitable system of quasi
cash payments for permanent works
Congress has provided vaguely for a re-
payment of this debt in five years. 1,
has at the same time incurred obligations
TO the District. which will presumably in
volve an extension of that period in con-
sequence of an increase of the floating in.
debtedness. 1t is for Congress, not the
Commissioners. to determine the rate OF
repayment, and it Is for the Commission
ers to write their estimates in such terms
as will afford as perfect a representation
of the local needs as the limitation written
into the current act permits.

We cried "Hooray for Rufus!' which

Then we says: "Hooray for Ezra" which

And. as all tibet we could think Of was
