GREATLY EXCITED
THE GREAT COOPER AS HE 10
CALLED HAS STIRRED UP THAT
CITY TO A REMARKABLE
DEGREE.

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-Th1S
city is at present in the midst of an
excitement beyond anything that it
has experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was a
stranger to Omaha up to two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T. Cooper, President of
the Cooper Medicine Co., of Dayton.
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is man about thirty years
of age and has acquired a fortune
within the past two years by the sale
of some preparations of which he is
the owEe-.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceeded the young man here were Of
the most startling nature, many Of
the leading dailies going so far as to
state that he had nightly cured in
public places rheumatism of years
standing with one of his preparations.
The physicians of the East contradict
ed this statement, claiming the thing
to be impossible, but the facts seemed
to bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to
him by thousands and his prepare
tons sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in Omaha and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
met people afflicted with rheumatism,
and with a single application of one
of his preparations actually made
them walk without the aid of either
canes or crutches.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE is the foundation of nine out Of
ten diseases and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
6OI III VI 0uSh IL OuOlCO do CdIdl IL dlu
affections of the kidneys and liver, in
about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration, and now all Omaha is ap-
parently mad over the young man.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign
of let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be a fad that will die out
as soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished a great deal for the sick Of
this city with his preparations.

a few young slaves and there is
nothing being done to prepare him
for the lofty duties which he must
fulfill at an early date.
The throne and the many at
tendant ceremonies appealed to
him merely as parts of a new
game and he soon tired Of the OBJ
sequious homage with which he
was surrounded and to-day he is
no more than an unhappy child.
A change, however, is promised
by the reformers, who are only
awaiting the voting of funds to
put their intentions in execution.
He will be removed from the in

oriental languages and history;
and he will be given companions
of more suitable birth chosen from
the noble families of his kingdom.
All these advantages will be used
to transform him into ruler such
