OPPOSED BY JAPAN
NEUTRALIZATION OF (RAILROADS
IS NOT LIKED.
THE PEOPLE STRONGLY OBJECT
To Grant the Proposition, They Say,
Would Be to Give Up What the
Nation Fought for.
Tokio. The proposition of the L'nit
ed States for the neutralization of the
railroads .n Manchuria came as a sur
prise and the publication of the de
tails of the note, which was handed to
the Japanese government on Decem
ber 10 by the American ambassador,
aroused an immediate chaos of dis
approval. Putting aside all question
of the ousinoss or political advisabili
ty of the proposition, sentiment en
tered most largely into the attitude of
the people of Japan. The foreign
office, while adinittiug that such a
note had been received, would give no
intimation as to how it had been or
would be treated.
Count T. llayashi. the last minister
of foreign affairs and ior a year am
bassador to Great Britain; Count. Oku
ma, formerly one of the most active
of statesmen, and everyone whose
name carried any weight whatsoever,
were quoted in the newspapers in
strenuous objection to giving up what
is claimed to he the harvest of the
war with Russia.
"Tens of thousands of our soldiers
died in Manchuria in the war with
Russia." they said. "We got little out
of the war except what was political.
The material side is represented by
the South Manchurian railway and the
Antung-Mukden. The leased territory
and Port Arthur were only recovered.
"These we won ten ".cars before,
and lost again by the intrigue of cer
tain powers when we were a weaker
nation. Now the United States,
hitherto always our frien.l. comes into
combination with outlier powers and
proposes that we should give up the
South Manchurian railway, a paying
road, and th tung-Mukden. the con
tinuation ol railroads in Korea, to
the control foreigners and strang
ers. "The reasons assigned for this are
that the principle of the 'open door'
and 'equal opportunity" for all nations
doing business in China must be pre
served. But Japan has entered into
solemn agreement with the powers ot
America and Europe to preserve the
integrity of China and to maintain the
principle of the open door and equal
opportunity in concert with China
and with all other nations, and to this
Japan has adhered religiously,
"In two ways, therefore, the United
States attacks the honor and the senti-
ment of the people of Japan. Is it any
wonder that we refuse to permit our t
government even to suggest that the j
proposal has been received by Japan i
with equanimity?"
This statement practically voices
t';e entire expression heard from the j
public during the first forty-eight '
hours after the first news of receipt
of Secretary Knux's note.
But the further sentiment was ex
pressed thus:
"The riots that followed the mak
ing of the treaty of Portsmouth would
not be a circumstance to the trouble
that would follow the relinquishment
by Japan of its rights in Manchuria,
even though it received twice the in-
trinsic value."
Two-Cent Fare Enjoined.
St. Louis. Judge William C. Hook
nf the United States circuit court in a

passenger rate law anil certain maxi
mum freight schedules. I

COOPER'S SALES
ARE ENORMOUS
HIS PREPARATIONS LEADING.
TOPIC IN OMAHA CALLERS AT
YOUNG MAN'S HEADQUAR
TERS INTERVIEWED.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 9. The most
interesting feature of the enormous
sale cf the Cooper preparations, now
going on in this city, is what the med
icines are actually accomplishing
among the people of Omaha.
At the commencement of his visit
here Mr. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the later part of his stay he would
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what
the preparations had done. He also
stated that stomach trouble is the
foundation for a great many diseases
and that his New Discovery, as it is
called, would prove very effective in
all cases of rheumatism simply by
getting the stomach in working order.
That this prophecy has been fulfilled
cannot be doubted after a half-hour
spent at the young man's headquar
ters listening to what his callers have
to say. f
A reporter, who watched to ascer
tain, if possible, some light on the
reasons for the immensity of Coop
er's success, interviewed about twenty
of his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements made by those seen indi
cate that physicians who claim that
Cooper is merely a passing fad, have
not looked into the facts.
Some of these statements were as
follows:
W. J. Grant, a popular cigar dealer
at 508 South Sixteenth street, upon
being questioned, said: "After a most
remarkable experience with the Cooper
remedies, I cannot refrain from saying
that anyone who is suffering in any
way from stomach trouble, and who
does not give this Cooper medicine a
trial, is passing up a golden opportu
nity for restoration to good health.
"For three years I was troubled
with my stomach, and what little I
did eat gave me distress. Nothing
tasted right. I felt weak and bad near
ly all the time. I was nervous and
allowed matters of small importance
to worry me. I treated with two differ
ent physicians, but received no benefit.
I had about reached the- conclusion
that medical science had not yet pro
duced anything that would help me.
"However, a number of friends
urgd me to try Cooper's New Dis
covery and they were so persistent
that I finally took new hope and got a
bottlo of the Cooper medicine. After I
had begun to take it I wondered why I
had not taken it long ago. Its effect
was marvelous brought me right
out. I regained my appetite, took on
new strength in fact, began to feel
like a different man altogether. I
would not have believed there was a
medicine on earth that could do so
much in so short a time. I have good
reason to be grateful for what Coop
er's New Discovery has done for me.
and cannot praise it too highly"
The statement of Mr. "William Ken
nedy, advertising manager of the Ben
nett Company, at Sixteenth and
Harney streets, was as follows:
"Long and tedious hours of hard
work, and continuous confinement in
a stuffy office tended to put my stom
ach in a condition that has for many
months made my life miserable. There
is no need of my going into detail, for
anyone who has ever had stomach
trouble knows the suffering to be en
dured. I became weakened and run
down, and life began to be a drag.
"A personal friend persuaded me to
give the Cooper medicine a trial. I
procured a bottle of the New Discovery
preparation and began taking it. Re
lief came quickly, and in a short time
I was feeling like a new man. I de
veloped a splendid appetite, could cat
anything I wanted with no ill effects,
and it all tasted good. My strength
returned and once more work became I
e pleasure. !
"I have taken four bottles, and j
shall continue its use until I am fully
recovered, which I am confident will
not take long. This is a remarkable
preparation for any one who is 'all
in' as a result cf close confinement !
and overwork. I earnestly recom- i
mend it to anyone in this condition." j
Other statements taken from those
-alio had previously used the modi-
cmes seem to prove that Coopers
success throughout the country is gen
uine. Educational Campaign Effective.
In the state yf the United States in
which the raos: preventive anti-tuberculosis
work ha been done the per
centage of publ'c funds spent is the
highest, while In mates where little or
no effort has been made to prevent tu
berculosis, and the treatment of the
disease alone has len considered, the
percentage ot public expenditures is
very low. For instavce, of the $1,G00.
000 spent in New York in VJO'J, near
ly CO per cenL was from state and city
funds. In Massachusetts nearly two
thirds was from public money: in
Maryland about one-half, and in Penn
sylvania thiee-fourths. In Colorado,
on the other hand, les3 than one per
cent, was from public itcney: in Cal
ifornia about 13 per cent., and in Ari
zona none at all. These facts Indi
cate, the national association declares,
that wherever an aggressive educa
tional campaign has been carried on
by private organizations, states and
cities have been induced to make lib
eral appropriations for the prevention
of tuberculosis.

NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY
Items of Interest" Around the State
Houso
State General Fund Full.
For the first time In the 'history of
the state, so far as known, the state
treasurer has $.100,000 in the general
fund and the state is out'or debt. The
state generally had scads of school"
funds on hand and for many years has
had $S.000.000 of such funds investeU

come in they are used in such cases to
take up state warrants tbat.have been,
registered to the credit of the school
fund.
The unusual, occurxenco of $100,OOQ
In the general fund and no outstand
ing warrants to take up. caused Treas
urer L. G. Brian to rake up a law
passed In 1S79 " which provides that
when there is in the hands of the
state treasurer money of the state in
excess or $100,000 he shall in writing
notify the governor and state auditor
of the fact and within three days after
such notice Is given the governor,
treasurer and auditor shall meet in
solemn conclave and decide whe'ther
or not the excess funds shall be in
vested in 4 per cent government bonds
or whether or not the money shall be
kept as necessary funds to meet the
current demands upon the state treas
urer. The treasurer served this notice
Wednesday.
The old statute is considered some
thing of a joke. In the first place there
there are no A per cent government
bonds floating about and in the sec
ond place the $100,000 will soon melt
away in the payment of cut'tmt ex
penses of the slate government. The
three officers mentioned iirthe statute
will decide to keep the money in the
treasury to meet demands months
hence, when receipts at the treasury
are light and expenses heavy. It will
bo laid up against the rainy days that
come in the summer time when little
money is received at the treasury.
The receipts are just now heavy on
account of remittances from county
treasurers who aro required to settle
annually with the state.
The wiping out of the state debt
which was in the form of registered
warrants was due to the Sheldon one
mill tax law which was In force sev
eral years. No levy has been made
for this year under that law.
Favors Local Inspection.
State Veterinarian Juckiness, on ac
count of a recent experience, Is in
favor of local inspection of meat. He
does not care for the much praised
homo killed pork since he stopped in
a little town in Nebraska and visited
a butcher shop where home killed
meat was sold. He found two car
casses of hogs hanging up back of
the shop. Both carcasses showed th"
effect of tuberculosis generalised. The
disease was apparent throughout the
carcases, it not being confined to a
few of the organs. He wont into th-.
shop and there found anotli-r ttibn
culos's carcass en the block. He doe
not hl:eve butchers kill tuberculosis
animals purposely but is of the opin
ion that they do not always know an
affected animal. He thinks local In
spection by trained veterinarians
ought to be established. The state
food commissioner's employes are not
supposed to be experts in testing car
casses for disease, but are supposed
to know merely whether or not food
is decomposed.

RAW eczema6Fhands
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but
nQne of th jjj fl j Ulon
. , P .. .. . .
used one lox of C-mcura Ointment
auu laroo Louies oi cuiic,ura.uesoiveiii--and
was completely cured. My bauds
were raw all" over, inside and out, and..
I the eczema was spreading all over my "
body -and limbs. Before-1 had used one
i bottle, together with the Cuticbra
Ointinijnt, my sores -Avere nearly
healed ov(jr, and hy. the time I .had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestjy ad-'
vise them to fool with- nothing else
but to get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me- the' Jeast
, bit of trouble up to now.
"My daughter's hands- this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would .do-"
them any good until she tried Cuti
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura OiAtment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my. family and it always proved suc
cessful. Mrs. M. E. Faliui Speers
