 IN THE HOSPITAL
Two Strong Endorsements Of New
 Cooper Treatment Monday.

The sale of the Cooper preparations in New York has grown tremendously during the past week On Saturday night it was estimated that during the week nine thousand people had called and talked with either Cooper or his assistants.
 Each day more and more people call who express unlimited approval of the results they have obtained from the medicine. Many of these people tell their experience for publication.
 The following statements were among several made on Monday af- ternoon. George J. Bramer, of No. 1541 First avenue, said: "I have had stomach trouble in it's worst form. lost so much flesh and became so weak that one doctor told me I had consumption. I have been under treat ment constantly for two years with no benefit whatsoever, as l have grown steadily worse and lately I have been unable to eat any solid food at all.
 "I got so bad that I finally went to the hospital. While in the hospital read of MT. Cooper, and one day left the hospital, came here and got his treatment. It has proved to be the only medicine I have ever taken that has helped me. I now feel like another man. and wish to give all the credit for my present health to this

HleulClne-
 A. G. Northup, of No. 215 Eckford street, Brooklyn, had this to say: "I had been in bed three weeks with nervous prostration, and was getting no better, when one of my friends who was taking it urged me to try this Cooper medicine. I was in such a condition at the time that I could not argue, and l let them get the New Discovery, as it is called, for me.
 'I was actually better the very first day. l didn't know there was a medi- cine on earth that could act as quick ly as this did. It put me on my feet inside of a week. I am now as well as I ever was in my life, and do not know that I have a nerve in my body. sleep soundly and get up in the morning refreshed and hungry for breakfast. have a good appetite and am full of energy. l have gone back to work again as sound as a dollar. This is the wonder of my family and friends"
 Cooper's New Discovery is now on sale at leading druggists everywhere. It has made q remarkable record in New York and other cities. If you cannot obtain it from your local drug gist notify The Cooper Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio.

MONTHLY MEETING
 OF THE SUPERVISORS
Application For a New Telephone Franchise in Buckeye Section.

The supervisors are neck deep in the labors of the regular monthly meeting, though the greater part of yesterday was devoted to the auditing of bills. One that passed muster was for the bounty on two lions killed by a Mir Crabtree near Fort McDowell The old claim of L. A Hough for thre lions was revived by the filing of a new affidavit more specific in its nature It says the lions were killed January 15 and r, thirty miles from Fort Mcdowell. east of the Verde river on Dead Mans creek The claim will probably be allowed.
 petition was received and filed signed by eighty-three citizens of Buckeye and Liberty section. asking for favorable action on an applica- tion that accompanied it, for a fran chise for a ney telephone line to be operated in that region. The appli- cants are T. N. Clanton and H. E. Kell The applicants agree, if the franchise is granted, to begin work within six months and to have at least five miles in operation within one year It is understood that this is an entirely new telephone project, having no connec- tion with the independent or farmers company that is operating in the country districts, nor with the move ment for an independent line in Phoe- nix, but is designed rather to succeed to the business of the present Buck eye line owned by the Wessex com pany.

JOHN LA TOURETTE
 DIED LAST NIGHT
Passing Of Pioneer of Arizona, Cali fornia and Oregon.

John LaTOurette died last evening at S:30 at the home on North Seventh street, where the family has resided ever since 1884. He was ST years old and one of the oldest pioneers in tho territory both as to age and time of residence in Arizona. Moreover he was one of the most highly respected men in the community, well liked by all who knew him. Though beyond the age of great physical strength, it is believed Mir. LaTourette might have lived for some time yet had it not been for a bad fall he received last September. He mended consid- erably and was doing nicely until a few days ago when he grew worse again and fatal complications devel- oped.
 The dead man is survived by his wife and by four children, one son, James LaTourette. having met an ac- cidental death about two years ago. The surviving children are Mrs. Rose Sheridan and Mrs. Viola Wells of this city, Mrs. William Munds of Jerome and Peter LaTourette, who lives on the LaTourette cattle ranch on the Verde river
 John LaTourette was born in New York state Dec. ', 1922. and came to the coast by the Panama route clear back in 1850 during the big gold excitement in California. He landed in San Francisco and went from there to Diamond Springs, Cal, where in 1853 he was married to Miss Rosanna Mather. They moved to the Rogue River valley in oregon and went into the cattle business in Kla- math.
 In 1884 they left that country for Arizona, MT. LaTourette driving 175 head of cattle overland from oregon to this country, a distance of about 1900 miles. The cattle were taken direct to the Verde river range, the family having been engaged in the cattle business there ever since. In 1884 John LaTourette moved to Phoe- nix. making his residence here ever since, though his business interests were on the Verde.
 The arrangements for the funeral will not be completed until after com munication is had with Peter La Tourette, who is now at the cattle ranch. and Mrs. Munds of Jerome.
 A brother of John LaTourette' Aaron. also survives him, his home being in Diamond Springs.

LINCOLN'S DAY.

Today there will be honor done to a man in greater measure than the world has witnessed in these lat ter days. There have been popular great characters while their deeds were still fresh in the public mind. We have Washington's birthday, but it has largely lost its original signifi- canoe and it is hardly associated long CT with the fact of Washington's birth. But now a hundred years af- ter the birth of Lincoln and nearly a half hundred years after his death. this is Lincoln's day, to be observed as no other anniversary has been ob- served in this country.
 The nation is perhaps attracted to Lincoln now, less by his achieve ments, great as they were, greater than any other American has ever performed, than by the admirable character of the man, by a clearer conception of his strength, capable of still greater achievements.
 Lincoln is admirable not alone be- cause of his strength and firmness, not alone because of his modesty and his kindness but because of the per feet mingling in him of all these qualities.
 It will be a great day. Little did the Lincolns on February 12, 1909, and their poor and unlettered neigh bors imagine that the memory of a babe born that day, hundred years hence would attract the nation and even the world to the same lowly hut, his first shelter.
 This babe grew into a peculiar man whose record is unlike that of any other according to the esti mates of a succeeding generation as well as those of his own generation who yet survive him.
 If he had a weakness it is not re- called. If there was ever a better way of reaching an end sought by him, it is no longer considered.
 There is now only one opinion among his countrymen. It is the same opinion held by all civilized ma tions. It will be universally ex- pressed today.

the entire hotel was thrown into a tumult by the loss of the jewels. A thorough search of the entire hotel from the top story to the basement was instituted without result. The woman who reported the loss said she was sure they were not in her own apartments as she had searched for hours. Reluctantly she came to the conclusion that the necklace had been stolen from her bureau. After a consultation with the hotel manage ment it was decided to ask the assistance of the police.
 Almost before the police could get busy and look for clues the owner of the necklace rushed down to the hotel office with the necklace in her hand. She found it stored away in a nook of her capacious trunk. She had hidden it and then forgotten the hiding place.

We think that the house ought to amend the Hampton elections bill in one respect Instead of voters being compelled to be able to read the con- stitution of the Uunited States, it ought to be sufficient for the voter to be able to expound the constitu- ton by either the loose or open work method of construction or by the close construction process, and that would let us all in, or the most of us. Any man who can't stand on the street corner and tell his neigh bors just what the constitution means and where the United States supreme court gets off wrong some times, hasn't sense enough to vote.
