rug making and that had the general
floppiness of a piece of cheese-cloth.
The rug had a tag on one corner that
said $685." but the Armenian raised
1t to "$16.75" and then was sorry he
hadn't made it "$116.75." Philharmonic
us took it so quickly.
Philharmonic explained to us,
Wednesday night at the lodge, just
what a magic carpet is good for, and
how you sit on it and say few strong
Arabic words and go floating off on 1t
to any part of the world. When we
asked him he said he had not been
able to do much floating off yet, but
that in a few days he would probably
take some trips. He took one that
same night.
He had the rug at the head of his
stairs, and he started down, but just
as his foot touched the rug it slipped
and the rug carried him rapidly down
stairs. It was quite triumph for
philharmonic, but it was noticed by
his wife that he ssid the strong Arabic
words after he had started, and on the
way down, instead of at first. OF
course it wasn't much of fight, just
a trial trip, as you might say, but
philharmonic was mighty proud of
it, and said it showed that the rug
worked all right. He said that prob
ably in a few days he would be able
to sail away to Bagdad on 1t without
the least trouble.
All the next day he sat on the rug
in his bedroom saying strong Arabic
words, but he didn't seem to get any
where much. He felt that If he want
ed to he could easily fly down stairs
again, but he seemed tired OF doing
that. Flying down stairs that way
gets so monotonous. So Philharmonic
US strongly urged his wife never to
put the rug at the head of the stairs
again.
About seven o'clock in the evening
Phil went down stairs to supper, and
after supper he saw a big windstorm
coming up, SO he rushed upstairs to
close the bedroom windows, and as
be dashed into the bedroom his feet

Philharmonic Bibbins is the only
psychologist we have in Betzville, but
one is plenty, for this isn't very
good place to study psychic phenome-
ma. There are hardly any ghosts in
the neighborhood, and those of a low,
uninteresting quality. In any place
where ghosts amount to anything you
could get loads of cheap secondhand
ones, all better than any native ghosts
we have. So Phil is sort of forced
to take up other branches than ghosts.
II he lived anywhere else he would be
a good psychologist, for he is whole
hearted believer. He will believe any
thing that has no sense. And he be-
lieves it thoroughly.
Last Wednesday an Armenian rug
peddler struck town, and he had lot
of Oriental rugs of various qualities
from bad to worse, but he wasn't do
ing very we'll, because although Betz-
vile il q center of culture and refine
ment it runs more to rag carpets than
to the gems of the oriental loom. But
the moment he called on Philharmon-
ius he saw he had sale. The very
sight of the rugs set all Phirs psychic
brain-lobes palpitating like a six-cyl-
inder motor, and he asked Immediate
" whether the Armenian had magic
carpet. The Armenian Immediately
said he had. He undid his pack and
pulled out rug that looked like the

Northwest Delegation.

ager w. P. Kenney, of the Northern
Pacific, and a delegation of Montana
men, who reached Washington from
st. Paul. The Hills, accompanied by
the Montana men, called on President
Taft in an effort to induce him to take
action to expedite the construction
of irrigation works in the Milk River
Valley in Montana.
This proposed project was originally
planned by settlers who transferred
their water rights to the government.
The government has done little look
ing to the building of reclamation
work in the Milk River Valley pend
ing a final action on the treaty nego-
tiated between the United States and
Great Britain relative to the uses OF
the waters of the Milk River and 9TH
er streams which traverse Canada, as
we'll as this country.
This instrument has already been
ratified by the senate but so far 1t
! has failed to secure the approval OF
the British crown. AS a long time has
elapsed since the senate ratified the
treaty, the fear is expressed that the
British crown is not disposed to give
the treaty it's approval on account OF
an amendment made by the senate.
Settlers in the Milk River Valley are
anxious to build irrigation works there
and If the government is not ready te
proceed, owing to the failure of the
treaty in question, or long delay In itf
approval by the British government
they want to regain the water rights

valley under the provisions of the irri
cation act.

OMAHA PEOPLE
GREATLY EXCITED
The GREAT COOPER AS HE g
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 1t
has experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, 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 a man about thirty years
of age and has acquired q 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 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
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 adj
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 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 OIL
, this city with his preparations.

COOKS SHOPS.

They Were the Beginnings Of this
Modern Restaurant.
In primitive times the only places
In London where the public could be
entertained with food had been the
cooks shops. The famous East Cheap
was a great thoroughfare, down which
the stalls of the butchers alternated
with those of the cooks. You chose
joint at the flesh market and you car
ried it next door to be cooked for
you by a certain hour. If you wished
for wine, you must bring that with
you. for the cooks sold no liquor, al
though they seem to have provided. as
time went on, more and more Of the
natural Accomplishments Of meat, such
as bread, vegetables and pastry.
This habit continued until well into
the reign of Elizabeth, and so long
as such an inconvenient custom pre-
vailed there could have been no real
comfort for any citizen who chose to
dine abroad. He must have had as
much trouble with porterage and bas-
kets as country party has today at
a. picnic. But about the time that
Shakespeare came up to London a
remarkable change took place in the
customs of the town. and the practice
of public hospitality and entertain
ment was singularly facilitated
The nature of this change lay in the
sudden development of the tavern and
the consequent withdrawal of the
cookshop. The worshipful company
Of pastelars, as the cooks were called.

Railroads Are Never Finished.

In one respect railroad is unlike
any other project undertaken by man
1T is never finished. Like cucumber

chanics, the instant 1t ceases to grow
1t begins to wither. There must be
continuous expansion and enlargement
Larger cars require more powerful To-
comotives. and both in turn call for
heavier rails. bigger roundhouses.
stronger bridges. longer platforms and
sidings. increased safety devices, while
the Strengthening of curves and the
leveling of grades come in for their
share of attention on even the Oldest
roads. Little wonder, then, with our
railroads consuming nearly one-half OF
all our manufactured steel and iron
and fully one-half of all the lumber
made each year. that they are the un-
falling barometer of the business ac-
tivity of the nation.

trial, rather than upon him. Courts
are organized for the purpose of re-
dressing legal wrongs only, and how
ever reprehensible and censurable the
conduct of man may be in the eyes of
the community, so long as he con-
fines it within legal bounds he is not
answerable to the courts, but amend
able only to a power higher than that
of man; and this is necessarily so in
free government where no man can be
convicted except upon the identical
charge upon which he is placed on
trial, for if there is to be departure
from this rule. the necessity for the
classification of crimes no longer ex-
lists, and the legal conduct of all men
would be regulated not by written
laws but by the conscience of the
Judge.
The conclusion is irresistible that
the evidence appearing in the record
taken before the committing magis-
trate is insufficient to justify the com
mittment of defendant for offense Of
an assault by Delucchi of any degree
whatever; that the restraint of de-
fendant's liberty is illegal, and that he
is entitled to his discharge upon
