and shot one brother twice at a dis
tance of a few rods and then assaulted
the other brother and would have

ONLY NECESSARY
TOTREAT STOMACH,
SAYS COOPER
Tke new theory adrsneed by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stomach
has attracted such widespread atten
tion that the public la cities visited by
the young; man has been joined by
many physicians in a discussion of his
beliefs and medicines.
Mr. Cooper says human health Is
dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says, that no disease can
be conquered without first alleviating
all stomach disorders. He further says
that most men and women of this gen
eration are half-sick owing to degen
erate stonrachs. And lastly, he claims
that his New Discovery medicine will
rejuvenate the human stomach in 90
days.
Cooper has been traveling from one
city to another, conducting in each
what he calls a campaign of educa
tion. For the past year he has met
the public ic the larger cities of the
country, and his success has been
phenomenal. Thousands of people have
flocked to his headquarters wherever
he has gone, and the sale of his medi
cine has been beyond anything of the
kind ever before witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of
followers, whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines, have
to say on the subject The following
statements are from two well-known
residents of Chicago and Boston, re
spectively, and the enthusiasm of
these is characteristic of Cooper's ad
mirers generally.
Mrs. H. B. Mack, of 3201 State
street, Chicago, says: "I have been
suffering for 12 years from a combina
tion of stomach trouble, catarrh and
constipation. I had a gnawing pain
in the pit of my stomach, a sort of a
dull pain that I could not quite under
stand. Then there was a dull head
ache, and my mind seemed to be wan
dering continually. I could not eat,
and what little solid food I did eat I
could not retain on my stomach. I
tried every remedy I could think or,
and also tried out a number of patent
medicines, but without any apparent
result. It was through one of un
friends that I heard of Cooper's prep-
NEWS FlioM THE CAPITAL CITY
Items of Interest Around the State
House
Riots at South Omaha Expensive
Documents filed by Secretary ot
State Knox with Governor Shallenber
ger indicate that the state of Nebras
ka will have to pay damages amount
ing to 1247.954.99 on account of the
anti-Greek riot at South Omaha Feb
ruary 21. 1909. The meeting was held,
following the shooting and killing of
Policeman Edward Lowry by a Greek
named John Masourldes who was be
ing placed under arrest by the officer.
The secretary of state has asked Gov
ernor Shallenberger what he has to
say about the claims. The governor
will refer the matter to Attorney Gen
eral Thompson. It Is the policy of tho
federal government not to pay claims
of other countries on account of dam
ages to life and property of foreigners
committed in any of the states, but to
ask the states to make good whatever
damage has been inflicted. This was
the attitude of the general govern
ment when Chinese were damaged in
Wyoming. Governor Shallenberger
niay have to recommend that the next
legislature pay the claims represented
by Austria-Hungarians. Turks and
Greeks who were damaged by the
riots in South Omaha. If the s.ate
has the pay the claims presented, it
will be an expensive riot The various
foreign governments interested In the
claims allege that the riot continued
for nine hours and no attempt was
made to call out the state troops for
protection. The statement is made
that laboring men incited the riot, be
lieving they had a grievance because
of the foreign-born workingmen who
were worked in the South Omaha
packing houses for lower wages than
American-born men would work for.

The medicine is worth its weight in

Mr. Edwin P. Morse, of 20 Oakley

says: "For three years I had not a
well day. My stomach was in fright
ful shape; the mere thought of food
would nauseate me, and I really had a
horror of anything to eat. All solid
food would cause me extreme indiges

and nothing tasted right. Some time
ago I got some of this Cooper's medi

talk. I actually feel as well and strong
as a boy ever since the first bottle.
Every sign of stomach trouble has dis
appeared, and I have a hearty appe

thing seems to taste good. Anyone
who knows what chronic indigestion
is can appreciate what this means to
me. I consider this the most remark
