A PLEA FOR 4 PARK.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 What a Godsend to Phoenix a com modious park would be. An artificial lake and other attractions would in duce the settler and tourist to locate in our beautiful valley.
 It might also be the means of dis persing that unsightly row of loaferJ and loungers that make our public thoroughfare a horror.
 I consider it would be advisable to locate it on the south side, below the tracks, where land is cheapest. By doing so a large proportion of those dirty, unsanitary denizens of what we might call the slums of Phoenix would be scattered far away from the center of our city,. and make one eyesore less.
 Consider what an impression PhOe- nix makes upon the unwary traveller who, leaving a train and wandering in the wrong direction, finds himself cnvironed by the filthy shack5 that are within a stone throw of the most pros porous and bragged about business center of our town. Yours, etc.

THE SHIFTING MIND
 OF 4 DYING WOMAN
MRS. WENTZLER, WIFE OF WILLIS
 WEST, ACTOR.
Three Wills Disposing of Her Estate
 Embarras Probate Court.

The probate court is embarrassed by multiplicity of wills relating to the estate of Mrs. Dillian May WentZleri
 the wills indicating the shifting senti- ment of a dying woman towards her | heirs, of whom there were two, George WentZler. her husband, and Swear old daughter by a former husband. MT. Wentzler is not we'll known in this community by that name, for he is Willis West, an actor who played at the Grand last winter and spring. Mrs. Wentzler herself was an actress. Previous to her marriage to Wentzler she was married to a man of the name Of Gardiner.
 Mrs Wentzler died at the Sisters hospital in April after a lingering ill., ness. Her estate consists of personal property, real estate at Yuma and in California and shares in the King of Arizona Mining company, all valued at $1O,00O.
 By the first of the three wills all her property was left to her husband. By the next will all the property was left to her little daughter. One night word was brought to the sick woman that her husband after the show where he had a part, took a joy ride in the company of actresses and chorus girls, instead of coming directly to her bed side
 After the execution of the will fol- lowing this episode, the husband learn ing of it. offered a satisfactory ex- planatiOn of his conduct. He said that he was not wanting in solictude or sympathy. but had been invited by a friend to become a member of the par ty after the theater when il was too late for him to call upon her at the hospital
 Thereupon the third will was exc cuted. giving to Wentzler all of the real estate and to the little daughter all of the personal property. In all of these wills, Andrew Panzrazi of Yuma is named as eXecutOr.
 MT. Pancrazi has expressed a prefer ence for the second will. and has re- nOunced his right to serve under either of the others. The interests of the little girl are represented by Messrs Baxter and TimmOns of Yuma and they claim 10 be able to prove that the third will was the result of the exercise of improper influences and that at the time of it's execution Mrs. WentZler was not in a condition to make a Will
 The interests of Wentzler are looked after by I. J. Lipsohn. West is now playing at a theater in Bisbee

of the Macedonian railway to the Greek system in Thessaly has been consented to- If this concession is made use Of an old wish of the Greek patriots will be fulfilled. For the 1900 kilometers of Greek railway have now an abrupt ending in the north because they have no connection with the Turkish rail way and thereby with European lines. Athens, though situated on the conti- nent. is for the European traveller prac- tically accessible only by way of the various sea routes, and this accounts for the fact that such a classical spot, so attractive by it's historical reminis- cences and natural charms, is cOmpara- lively little visited That would be quite different if from the line to Sa- lonika one could change readily for Athens. It is only a question of time when one will take the direct state car from Paris or Berlin or Vienna to Ath- ems But even for the connection with Egypt and Asia Minor the through traffic to Athens would mark an epoch. For from the Piraeus the port of Ath- ems, it wants only short sea voyage to Alexandria or Port Said ar Smyrna. For Greece the influx of foreign visit DTS would mean an impetus for many improvements Modern hotels would teach the population to lay more stress on cleanliness and comfort. The flow CTS and fruits of the little kingdom would find a market in the northern capitals. The political horizon of the little nation would not end with the Turkish empire in the north. All that could be achieved, if the concession granted by the Sublime Porte is appre- ciated and the short connecting link railway from Thessaly to Macedonia Correspondence.

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

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-This
city is at present in the midst of an
excitement beyond anything that it
has experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich .p-9d moor, all
seem to have become beside them.
selves over an individual WHO was
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 owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-.
ceeded the young man here were Of
the most startling nature, many Of
'he 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 focked to
him by thousands and his prepare.
lions 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 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
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 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 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.
