the success this man is having in New

In a short interview Mr.. Cooper said:
IL have been in New York a little less
than two months. So far AS / can
Judge there are now about fifty thou
sand people taking my preparations.
Before leave there will be not less
than one hundred thousand, as the
number is increasing very rapidly
and people are just beginning to learn
what my preparation does. l expect
to fully prove before | leave New
York the calm | made when arrived
namely-that stomach trouble Is the
great curse of the Goth century among
Mighty civilized races and that it is
responsible for ninety per cent OF all
i'll health
"My medicine does nothing but
regulate the stomach, yet have peo-
pie come to me daily and tell me that
it has relieved them of many and
various ailments not generally recog-
nized as due to stomach trouble.
at is easy enough to verify this
statement. An hour spent in listen
ing to what people who call to see me
are saying, who obtained my medi-
cine some time ago, will prove what
| say beyond a doubt"
Cooper's New Discovery is the
medicine which made such wonder

In WASHINGTON.

The House has administered a Sc
we're rebuke to President Roosevelt
by tabling 80 much of his messages as
reflected upon members of Congress
in his recommendation regarding the
secret service detectives. The feel
ings of the House seemed to be out
ragged beyond measure, and the reso-
luton of rebuke was passed by the
decisive vote Of 212 to 80. By its
action also the House declared it to
be the sense of the House that it shall
decline to consider any communities
tion from any source which is not in
its own judgment respectful. The
matter was brought up in the form of
a report from special committee that
was unanimous in its action. With
feelings Of outraged dignity and hurt
pride on the part of majority of the
members of the House, that body gave
nearly a day to the discussion of the
subject. Ie speeches were all earn
est and vigorous, especially on the
point made by the President that the
House didn't understand the meaning
of his messages, the members allow
ing that they could rightly understand
the English language without the
President acting as an interpreter.
From this point of view it looks as
though our good President had
''slopped over"
Right on the heels of the above
action, the President reports that the
secret service has discovered Senator
Ben Tillman's connection with an
alleged Gland grab" in Oregon. The
charge is that Mr. Tillman used his
influence as senator to try to force
the government to compel a railroad
corporation to relinquish it's control
of land grants from the United States
so that he and his family and his sec
rotary, j. B. Knight, might profit by
the purchase of some of the land.
Every available space in the Senate
galleries and elsewhere was crowded
on Monday to hear Mr.. Tillman's
reply to the President. This was done
in volley of about 1000 words, and to
know Just what he was saying he
committed it to manuscript. He was
given careful attention by brother
Senators on both sides of the chamber,
aud it was pronounced in many quar-
ters an able argument. He did not
deny that he had contemplated the
purchase of 1440 acres of land at %. 80
an acre. He said: 81 have not Fat
tempted to deceive anybody; have
not told any falsehoOds; l have not
broken any law; have not been
guilty of any immoral conduct. / had
the right to purchase the land If
could, but my judgment told me 1t was
