Tried 10 Burn County Home.

For the second time within a week,
an inccndiary attempted to burn the
Pettis county home for the poor, To-
Gated two miles north OF Sedalia. The
hrebug tore out a screen cellar win
dow and after ~barricading the stair
ways to the basement, set fire to boxes
Of shavings and leaf tobacco. The
odor of burning tobacco throughout
the building at 6 o'clock In the morn
ing led to the discovery Of the fire
which had burned through the floor
ing over the basement. The home
contains 20 aged inmates and the early
discovery Of the fire saved them from
cremation. The county judges and
the sheriff have commenced IN investi-
cation and have learned that the fires
were not started by any OF the in
mates.

OMAHA PEOPLE
GREATLY EXCITED
THE GREAT COOPER As HE Is

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-This
city Is at present in the midst of an
excitement beyond anything. that 1t

selves over an individual who. was q
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 a 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 owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-.
ceeded the young man here were of
the most startling nature, many of
the ieading dailies going so far as to
state, that he had nightly cured in
public places rheumatism of years
standing with one Of his preparations.
lrhe physicians of. the East contradict.
Jed this statement, Glaipiipg' the thing
/. to be impossible, but the facts seemed
TO bear but the statement that Cooper
actually did so. = 80: :: :. 80.
In consequence people fiocked to
him BY thousands and his Hrepara:
TOPS sold like .wildnre:'
Many Of these stories were regard.
ed as fictitious IN Omaha and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to 'thkhi..' Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations,
rs he calls them, IN: public. and daily
met people afflicted with rheumatism,
and with 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 q
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
get rid of such troubles as catarrh and
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 n ad over the young man
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate
=. At present there seems to be no sigr
of a let,up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be a fad that will die ou'
,.as soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, 1t mus
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished a great deal for the sick o
this city with his preparations.
