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

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-Thi
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.
Chic, 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 a
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 locked to
him by thousands and his prepare.
tions sold like wildSre.
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, add daily
met people afflicted with rheumatism.
and with a single application of ons
of his preparations actually made
them walk without the aid of either
canes or crutches.
In addition to this work CoopAr I'd.
vanced the theory that stomach trnu.
BILE is the foundation OF nine out OF
ten diseases and claimed to have q
preparation that would restore tbs
stomach to working order and thus
get rid Of such troubles as catarrh end
affections OF the kidneys and liver, IN
about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have bern
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 a let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be fad that will die ou:
as soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, 1t must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished a great deal for the sick o.
this city with his preparations.

The trees to be set are procured
during the fall and are heeled in in a
protected place and are ready at any
time they are wanted, a few days of
sunshine and windy weather in early
spring puts the mounds of earth be-
side the holes in fine shape to put in
around the trees.
The trees may be set out two or
three weeks before the surrounding
soil will do TO cultivate.
First straw manure is tamped six
inches deep in the bottom of the holes,
then about six inches OF the top soil
is thrown in, leaving little mound in
the center of the hole, upon which the
center or tap root should rest.

best results.

second year, when the vines are tied
for the first time to wires stretched

vineyards employ three wires. The

The Historic Pit That ls Fenced of
From the Stalls.

The Historic Pit That ls Fenced OFF
From the Stalls.
In the orchestra of London theater
! there are only eight or ten rows Of
stalls, and Immediately behind them is
the pit, which is walled Off by q bar
rier or fence that stretches clear across
the theater. In the pit there are no
/, individual seats-merely rows of long
benches on which the people sit rather
closely together.
1t is, of course. impossible to reserve
seats In advance, and people who are
going to the pit have to come early on
the evening of the performance in or
der to secure the best places.
Hence in the case of popular play
long queue Of people may be seen at
o'clock stretching from the pit door
all along the sidewalk, waiting for the
house to open. They keep their places
very patiently in line. united by a COM
mon mood of pleasurable anticipation.
One manager awhile ago made the
experiment Of selling reserved seats in
the pit at the usual price, but to this
the pit people objected strenuously on
the ground that they could seldom
know In advance just when they would
find themselves possessed of that hap
py combination of money and an even
hing off which would permit Of theater
going and preferred to take their
chances waiting in line when the for
tunate opportunity arrived.
The pit Is patronized by people Of a
very estimable class and is often fire.
quented by well educated men and
women who wish to save money and
do not care to Dress Whereas a seat
in the stalls costs half guinea Tor ap-
proximately S250), a place in the pit
costs only two and six Tor approx
mately GO cents), and the play can be
seen very nearly as well.
In the pit the same program that is
sold in the stalls for sixpence is sold
for twopence. and the pit has a re-
freshment bar of its own which Is
cheaper than the main bar of the thea
ter OF course the real reason why
there is a pit in the London theater is
that there has always been pit. That
in itself is sufficient for the British
mind, but 1t must be admitted that the
system is on grounds of common sense
an exceedingly good one.-Bookman.
