PAINFUL MISHAP
WOMAN RESCUES HIM FROM AL
MOST CERTAIN DEATH.
Th Man Wa Suddenly Stricken With
raralysis and Was Unable to Hove
Hand and Foot
Lee F. Cypher, an oil-well driller,
living at Sistersville, Tyler county,
W. Va., was the -victim of a terrible
mishap Which caused a total paralysis
of his legs, arms, face and throat
I: was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People which cured him and en
abled him to resume his work. :
"I might almost as well have been
totally paralyzed," he says, "for I was
unable to move and' could swallow
only with the greatest difficulty. It
was in February, 1899, after a severe
attack: of grip, that I first noticed a
numbness in my hands and feet It
increased and I put myself under a
physician's care, but, instead of get
ting better, it gre"w worse till I could
rot walk and was . obliged to take to
my bed. I was perfectly helpless
and, on account of the paralysis of
my throat, hardly able to take enough
nourishment to sustain life. Nothing
helped me and the outlook was dis
mal. "But a Mrs. Smith, of this place,
who had been cured of locomotor
ataxia by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
recommended them to me and I be
gan to take them. In a short time I
could see they were helping me and I
continued taking them till they cured
me and I was able to return to work.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills drove every
trace of the paralysis out of my sys
tem." - r
The cure of Mr. Cypher is additional
proof that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
are not an ordinary medicine. They
are wonderful in their potency in
nervous troubles, small or great, ana
as they are on sale in every dru store
throughout the country they are with
in reach of all. That they could cure
such a severe nervous disorder as that
of Mr. Cypher proves the power of the
remedy in lesser troubles, such as
sciatica neuralgia, nervous headache,
St. Vitus' dance -and nervous debility.
Dr. ' Williams' Pink; Pills for Pale
People are sold by alldealers, or will
be sent postpaid on receipt of price,
fifty cents a box or six boxes for two
dollars and a half, by addressing Dr.

A Good Move
One of the latest organizations, and
one whose objects are certainly to be
commended, is the National School of
Co-operation, with headquarters at
room 14, Office block, Topeka, Kas.
Its officers are as follows:
James Butler, president
Vice Presidents Samuel M. Jones,
Toledo. O.; N. O. Nelson, St Louis,
Mo.; E. F. Keys, Chicago. 111.; J. S.
Canaday, Minden, Neb.; John Tteece,

Okla.; Wm. Butler, Farmington, N.
Ai.; E. S. Swift, Grass Valley, Cal.;
Leo Vincent, Boulder, Colo.; C. J.
Lamb, Dry den, Mich.
Otis S. Allen, secretary.
Trustees W. D. Gilpin, Topeka
Kas.; secretary Alliance Co-operative
Insurance Co.; James Butler, Topeka,
Kas.; secretary Farmers', Co-operative
Grain and Live Stock association; C.
B. Hoffman, Enterprise, Kas., presi
dent Kansas Milling Export Co.; John
W. Breidenthal, Kansas City, Kas.,
manager Banking Trust Co.; H. N.
Gaiues, Topeka, Kas., editor Farmers'
Advocate; S. H. Allen, Topeka, Kas.,
jurist; C. Vincent, Omaha, Neb.; edi
tor Central Farmer.
It is incorporated under the laws of
Kansas for a term of 99 years and not
being organized for profit has no cap
ital stock. ,Its objects are as follows:
"1st. , To teach the principles of co
operation and its advantages when ap
plied to fraternal, social,, educational
and business transactions.
"2d. To enroll and get together far
mers, laborers, business men and wo-
men, In all honorabl? avocations of
life for the study and application of
co-operative principles in business afr
fairs, which will enable them to secure
the same advantages that are obtain
ed by labor organizations in all their
various branches and the benefit of
association that is received by organi
zations -in all other lines. It will go
further; it will aid all existing organ
izations by teaching them to apply
co-operative business methods in a
way that will greatly inure to their
benefit by showing them how to be
come stockholders and part owners of
the business in which they are em
ployed. "
"As a means to accomplish the above
purposes, local schools, county Insti
tutes, state and national assemblies
will be formed for the study of all
business problems affecting the inter
est of its students. Teaching will be
done by means of printed , lectures
mailed to the instructors of each lo
cal school at least once a month or
oftener,if deemed advisable. Also by
oral lectures and the publication of an
official paper and official departments
in one or .niore papers. Each student in
good stanMng shall be entitled to a
copy of the official paper or a copy of
a paper containing an official depart
ment until the school publishes its
own official paper; then the official
paper shall be furnished, said ttu
dents or scholars. The lectures will
be diversified, covering the leading
and essential industries and business
avocations, such as
Co-operative shipping.
Co-operative selling.
Co-operative manufacturing.
Co-operative insurance. .
Co-operative stores.
Co-operative banks.
Co-operative ice plants.
Co-operative packing houses.
Co-operative mining. .
Co-operative dairying.
Co-operative telephones y
and other industries where co-operation
can be applied to advantage."
Although the latter part of the sec
ond paragraph smacks of Judge Gross
cup's "peopleization" scheme of over
coming the trust evil with .which The
Independent is not much fa sympathy,
because joint-stock ownership is at
best only a make-shift solution yet
this school can accomplish a grand
work, especially among the farmers,
by making them acquainted with the
various ways in which co-operative
institutions are conducted.
A Sectional Matter
Editor Independent: In looking
over a recent Independent I see that
Senator Aldrich came very near giv
ing nimself and the east away on the
tariff question when Senator Dolllver
was making his speech, and declared
that the Dingley bill put a high rate
on a number of articles for the pur
pose of having them traded down.
Now it is a notorious fact that the
east has preyed upon the south and
west ever since there has been a pro
tective tarifT in this country; in the
first place, because they had the ma
jority in congress to carry any meas
ure that was to their interest, and
now that the west and south are in
creasing so much faster than the east,
they are afraid that our representa
tives in coneTess mav bernmA as Ra
tional as they themselves have always
been and not allow them to have
everything their own way.
It has been for a number of years
that we could say nothing about un
iting the west and south on anv sub
ject of interest to these localities, but
tne east was up m arms at once and
accusing us ofwantinfr to arrav nn
section of the country against the
otner, aitnougn they were practicing
the closest kind of sectionalism- them-

selves but were very careful to keep
it quiet, so the west and south would
not catch on to their trick. I have
been wondering why some one has not
shown up the conditions existing in
regard to the manufacturing business
of the country. I was a protectionist
as long as I thought our industries
needed the protection in order to live,
but am decidedly opposed to a tariff
that causes millions of dollars to be
put Into the industry on account of
the great profits there is in it, until
there Is such an overproduction that
we have to turn the world up side
down to find a market for our goods.
And there is another objection I
have to business as it now stands. We
have to send the raw material to the
east to' get it made into goods that we
need and then have it sent back to us,
and then send our food supplies there
to feed the operatives and pay all the
freight both ways On the goods and
also on our foodstuffs. Now, if we
had sufficient manufacturing plants in
each state to produce what we need
we would save the larger part of the
uiree freights, get more for our food
stuffs, and the operators would get
fresh food instead of stale and with
ered stuff. Those eastern fellows all
know this, therefore are afraid of the
west
Why do we not wake up to our own
best interests and insist on having our
goods made at home? Then there is
another objection I have to the pres
ent condition, it is the high tariff
making it possible to make- so much
better profits on investments other
than farming, that our lands have
ceased to be a first class investment;
therefore, our lands have decreased in
value until we cannot Bell In this
country for enough to pay for actual
cost of improvements. So the farmers
are struggling along living on coarse
grub, wearing coarse clothing, voting
'er straight and thanking their stars
that they are allowed to live ia the
grandest government on earth.

If the present form of The Indepen

prefer It to the old form,; but it comes
apart so easilj that I call it a nuis
