nized as IN expert chemist. The subject
under discussion was the Cooper Remedies,
which are being demonstrated to New
Workers daily by l.. T. Cooper. Continuing,
Mr.. Blento said:

opinion regarding the Cooper medicine. I
acted most wisely. When these repara-

doubt many persons entertain this belief.
Several months ago, however, 3 friend
assured me that my opinion was wrong;
that he knew positively that the Cooper
remedies possess great merit, and that l
was doing myself an injustice in not giving
them a trial. I had been suffering for three
years with acute stomach trouble. Ny

Maybray and his gang OF bunco steerers
only four have up to date put in an APP
pearance here, according to the statement
Of Assistant County Attorney Dillon Ross
made yesterday evening.
DIT. c. c. Vandcrbeck of ST. Louis. who
was fleeced out Of $500 by the gang in the
fall Of 1907, and Samuel Sutor, the hotel
man of Cass Lake, Mimi, who dropped
$500 August II Of last year, told their
stories to the grond jury Tuesday after
noon. w. II. Bedford, the farmer from
Ray, Mo, who says he believes the gang
either hypnotized or drugged him, was be-
fore the grand jury yesterday morning
and related his story Of how he was ac-
tually robbed, SO he claims, of 5000. Bed
ford insists that at no time during the
transaction did he nave the slightest in
tention Of betting his own money on the
horse race. In fact. he did not know, he
says. until after the race had been run
and the Jockey supposedly fatally injured,
that his money had been put up. To this
day, he says, he does not know which one
Of the gang took upon himself to bet his
Bedford's) 5000. About all that Bedford
says he Is sure Of is that he and his bank
roll parted company and have never come
together since. Although willing to see the
members Of the gang punished, Bedford
takes his loss p~hilosophically, and while
before the grand jury yesterday morning
afforded considerable amusement and d.
version for the members by his quaint
Missouri sayings.
John Hermelbracht. n farmer from Ban
croft. Neb.. arrived In Council Bluffs yester-
day morning. He witnessed one of the
row famous horse races on April % and
it cost him 5000. which he had brought 70
Council Bluffs to nail down what had been
represented to him as a sure thing in the
way Of a land deal. Hermelbracht. like
others before him, got "switched' from
the land deal to the fake horse.

evening: There may be others who will

I have no advices of any others who VIII
be here to go before the grand jury. The
victims seem to be somewhat backward in
coming forward. I suppose they do not
relish tho notoriety."
Samuel Sutor, who was before the grand

in Cass Lake, Mimi, last evening. He

Pure Food Law Modified
State Dairy Commissioner Wright has
modified his plan with regard to having
stamped upon all packages of food the
exact weight Of the contents. The law he
proposes, as modified, will require that this
extend to butter and all limitations OF but
ter, lard and limitations of lard, flour and
mill products when canned or bagged.
The original statute proposed that pack
ages OF crackers, for instance, sold now by
package and not by weight, should have
the weight stamped on them. 1t was argued
by representatives of the National Biscuit
company and other manufacturers that to
nave the weight marked on their packages
which are not sold by weight now would
work a hardship and an injustice and even
keep their wares from the state.
The contention of the National Biscuit
company was that in accordance with the
terms OF the national pure food law, which
aims to prevent fraud. It being an obviously
fair requirement that when a package sets
forth and purports to be a certain weight,
II should be marked correctly. There is an
excellent chance that the bill as modified
will pass the Iowa assembly.
