f. Fought to Retain Formula Which Has Made a Fortune Ii. T. Cooper , the man who believes that 00 per cent , of all ill health of thla generation la caused by Htomacu trouble , is fust winning a national faith In hlfl theory. His claim is now ad mitted by a Burprlslng number of people ple throughout the country , and ho is paining new ndherontH every day. While Kpeaklng of his success in a recent interview , Mr. Cooper said : "I believed ten yours ago that any ono who could produce a formula that would thoroughly regulate the utorn- nch would have a fortune. When 1 got hold of this formula I knew within six nionlho that I was right , and that my fortune waa made. I called the med icine Cooper's Now Discovery , al though I did not get up the formula. I have owned it , however , for over five years. I have had ono lawsuit over it , which I won in the courts. When it was Bottled The Cooper Medicine Company became the only firm in the world that can prepare the medicine. The preparation lias cold like wildfire wherever introduced. As I have said before , It Is successful elmply because it puts the stomach in perfect shape , then nature does the rest There are any number of complaints never before associated with stomach trouble that the medi cine has alleviated in thousands of cases. " Among statements obtained recent ly from users of this medicine- that is arousing such universal discussion Is ono from Mrs. Emma Stanley , living in Chicago , at 713 Washington Boule vard , who said : "Perhaps I had the most complicated case that Mr. Cooper had to deal with. I was troubled for years with my stomach. I consulted with doctors and took many patent mcdiclno preparations without result. My stomach was in cuch a wretched Bhnpo that I could not enjoy u meal that I ate. - "I was very nervous , and could hard ly sleo'p. I had a roaring in my oars tind dancing spots before my eyes. I felt very bad and weak. Then there was a very sore spot at the pit of my etomach that nearly sot mo wild. "I heard about the Cooper medicine nnd decided to try It. I used four bottles tles , and the Improvement in my case has been really wonderful. My nerves have been quieted , and I am BO much improved that I feel llko u now woman. "I cannot say too much for these wonderful remedies , for they have inado me well. " Cooper's Now Discovery is sold by all druggists.

RAILHOADS INTERESTED AS WELL AS THE FARMERS. URGE CM IN THE SELECTION A Matter of Great Importance to Agri culturists Miscellaneous Capital Ncwslcms. Railroads have taken up the cru- Bade for bettor seed corn In Nebraska. The Northwestern and Union Pacific have sent bulletins to all agents to bo posted to call the attention of the farmers to the crusade for better corn now being waged by the Commercial club of Outuliu nnd to the necessity of testing the need corn , especially this year. Two hundred samples of corn from all sections of the state nro now in the tester at the Commercial club nnd Chief Tester Campbell is eagerly watching what the result will be , aa this corn comes from all sections of the ( Unto. The entire state seems to be aroused to the necessity of testing the seed corn , and whllo many Barn- pies arc being sent In the crusade Is also having Its effect In other ways because farmers In many cases nro preparing to teat their own corn. So many excellent authorities have shown the corn Is not good for need that all seem to have come to the conclusion that there Is a great deal In the statement. A bad ear of corn planted will cost the farmer an average of twelve bushels per aero when his crop Is harvested. Robertson Bros. , of Waterloo , seed growers , who buy from 250,000 to 300- 000 bushels of seed corn annually , have made from thirty to forty testa n day since December 1 of corn from all parts of the state. Their findings show that 50 per cent of all com gathered before the freeze of October in will not grow and that of the corn which was gathered nnd cribbed since that tlmo scarcely any will grow. Oeorgo Coupland , regent of the Uni versity of Nebraska , who has a largo corn acreage at Elgin , says that a great deal of the corn'from his sec tion was so damp that when It was gathered and cribbed it froze so solid that crowbars had to bo used to pry It apart. IIo says that ho has his doubts about the germinating quali ties of seed corn which was gathered early and that the corn which Is still standing , nnd which is the best to bo found in the state , is also In a bad way. General Grant Cannot Come. In reply to a letter urging him to accept an invitation to speak at the Epworth assembly next August , Gen eral Frederick D. Grant has sent the following letter to Addison Walt , dep uty secretary of state : "Headquarters Department of the Lakes , Chicago My Dear Mr. Walt : I have Just written to Mr. Jones , presi dent of the Epworth assembly , aa I write to you , in reply to your kind letter - tor of the 12th inst. , to express niy deep appreciation of the high compli ment paid mo , In the invitation to bo present during Patriotic day , August 4 , next. "I most deeply regret that It is Im possible for mo to have the honor of being with you then , because of the maneuvers nt Pine camp during the month of August next , which maneu vers I am to command. Sincerely yours , FREDERICK D. GRA'NT. What the League Wants. Two things which the newly organ ised Southwestern Hard Winter Wheat Millers' league will try to bring about in the trade nro the .abandonment of long tlmo sales nnd a shortening of the credit period extended to some classes of patrons. The committee named at Kansas City a short tlmo ago to draft trade rules will report its recommendations at another mooting in two weeks. The rules will not ap ply to credits extended In local terri tory where a mill operates , but will bo Intended to make shipments to east ern consignees subject to arrival draft terms or cash on delivery. For a Sane Fourth. Mayor Love is already considering Bomo plan whereby a sane Fourth of July celebration can bo secured with a minimum of trouble nnd annoyance. Last year when the plan was started citizens objected because they had not been asked to Join In the movement In tlmo. Hence the early consideration now. A Labor Chautauqua. A labor clmutauqua is being planned for by the labor unions of Lincoln to bo held during the coming summon At a committee was appointed to make arrangements , secure speakers nnd seta a date and place. The subjects of addresses and lectures will bo confined chiefly to economic topics and these of Interest to union members. The "Greater Lincoln Industrial Ex position" will bo hold nt the Audito rium May 21 to 28. This was decided upon at a meeting of the committee in charge of the exposition at the Commercial club Thursday. A dia gram of the booths will bo mailed to all prospective exhibitors. A number of applications for booths have been received , but so far no space has been lot. The scope of the exposition will bo greater than that of the "Mado In Lincoln" show last year. All ar ticles manufactured In Lincoln will bo exhibited. THE WESTERN UNION. District Court Fine Sustained by High * er Tribunal. The fine imposed by the district ; court of Lancaster county upon the Western Union Telegraph company , amounting to $50 or $100 , was af firmed by the supreme court. The company wni ; prosecuted by the state on the charge of Increasing rates for messages In Nebraska without first obtaining permission of the state rail way commission. A second count wan that the company failed to fllo re ports as required by the railway com mission. In fact , the company did not admit that it was amenable to the railway commission under the law regulating common carriers. The company was found guilty by a Jury In the district court on the first count , Increasing rates without permission of the commission. The principal defense of the West ern Union company was that the suit should have been a civil action in stead of a criminal suit. The supreme court holds that prosecution under subdivision C , suction 15 , chapter CO , of the statutes should be criminal , and that this section , so far as It re lates to the prevention of abuses , ex tortions and unjust discrimination , Is applicable to common carriers of news and Intelligence , such as telegraph and telephone companies , as well as to common carriers of goods and passen gers. The court holds that the tltlo to this act Is broad enough to em brace Its provisions dellning telegraph companies to be common carriers. Company C Gets Prize. Adjutant General John C.

A short time ago there appeared in the columns of one of the prominent magazines an article on building brain and muscle by the proper selection of the foods you cat A good many people were surprised to find oatmeal placed at the top of the list of foods recommended ; but if the article had appeared in an English or Scotch paper every reader would have expected to sco first place given to good oatmeal.
