The complaint against them la made by
Special Agent Frants of the Rock Island.
; The complaint against the men was made
ty the railroad men shortly before the
train reached Prairie Home. Finding that
the railroad authorities were Inclined to
lake up the charge, they tried to get away
just as the train was approaching Prairie
Home. Two of them got off the train, but
the third was caught. He waa carried on to
Falrbury before he was taken off and
turned over to tho peace authorities. The
two men who succeeded in getting off the
train hired a livery team and drove to
Greenwood, where they were preparing to
take a train for Lincoln. Local authorities
believe that they are members of an or
ganised gang. Late Wednesday night the
officer at Greenwood, who had arrested
the two men and was holding them there,
received a telephone call that purported to
come from a Rock Island deteptive at
Omaha, telling him to release his prisoners
s the' railroad authorities had decided not
to prosecute.

the college. He agreed to maintain an

the ten years the property became his.
He has added more than $170,000 In Im
provements since that time, so that the
institution Is worth over $200,000 today.

A. L. Tucker, D. C. Main, John T. Dross

CONDUCTOR FAINTS
FROM TERRIBLE PAIN
Nicholas Gluckman, formerly a con
ductor on the Brooklyn Elevated, residing
at 160 Havermeyer street, Brooklyn, and
who has Just recently recovered from a
long illness, gives the following account
of his experience with the Cooper rem
edies, which are now being demonstrated
in this city by L. T. Cooper. Mr. Gluck
man says:
"For two years I was conductor on the
Brooklyn Elevated, but suffered so se
verely from stomach trouble that finally
I was compelled to quit work. On sev
eral occasions I fainted as a result of the
terrible pain in my stomach. My head
ached almost constantly, and the gas on
my stomach after eating nearly drovo
me wild.
"I took all kinds of medicine In sn ef
fort to get relief, but It did me no more
good than so much water. Doctors di
agnosed my trouble In all sorts of ways,
and twice I submitted to a surgical oper
ation. These operations did more harm
than good, for they not only failed to give
relief, but left me perceptibly weaker
"By this time my condition was posi
tively wretched, and I was completely

discouraged. My attention had been
called to this man Cooper, and I had
both read and heard of his success in
relieving stomach sufferers, so In sheer
desperation I went to his headquarters
snd procured a treatment of Cooper's
New Discovery.
"The promptness with which It cor
rected my trouble was a revelation. Al
most tmmdlately I began to gain strength
and feel better. In two months' time I
was practically well. The gas and head
aches have long since disappeared, and I
can eat anything without any bad efftcts
whatever.
"After passing through such a painful
experience, I am glad of an opportunity
to publicly express my appreciation, and
let other sufferers know the manner In
which I obtained relief. Anyone affjlcled
with stomach trouble will make no mis
take In giving Cooper's New Discovery
a trial."
Cooper's Hew Discovery Is now on sale
at leading druggists everywhere. A
