PECULIAR PB OPERTIES
OF NEW MEDICINE
Ccoper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expelling Internal
Parasites.
The interest created in leading
cities during the past year by young
Mr Coooer with his new preparation,
is largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon
sible for much ill health, and it is
an undoubted fact that his medicine
has expelled immense numbers of
these creatures in various cities vis
ited by him. The young man also be
lieves that stomach trouble is the
main cause of all ill health. He
claims that few can have poor health
with a good digestion. He further
claims that his New Discovery medi
cine does nothing but tone up the
stomach, yet it not only expels the
parasites, but relieves many other
ailments not as a rule associated with
stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, , living at
2138 Carroll avenue, Chicago, is
among many relieved of a large para
site by Mr. Cooper's preparation
during his stay in that city. In
speaking of the matter to Mr. Cooper,
the mother said: "My child Jessie,
who is 14 years old, has been suffer
ing with this trouble for over seven
years. Until this morning we did not
known what the trouble was. She
was extremely nervous; the least
little thing would upset her; tongue
was coated, and at times she would
have a good appetite, then again
could not bear the sight of food; she
was restless at night, had a bad
breath, especially when she got up of
mornings. We tried everything to
relieve her, but met with no success.
We were just on thejpoint of giving
up trying anything else, wnen we oe
gan to read of Cooper's New Dis
covery. Several days ago we pur
chased this medicine. Jessie has been
using it regularly, and this morning
this parasite left her system. I don't
wonder that she had always felt bad
and nothing we would give her seem
ed to relieve her. Now that she is re
lieved of this tapeworm I feel sure
that she will grow better each day,
and enjoy pefect health. Mr. Cooper,
your medicine is worth a thousand
times more than you charge for it. I
know of a number of people troubled
the same way as Jessie has been, and
I certainly expect to tell them per
sonally to try your medicine."
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with
general poor health to try this great
medicine. We are agent for it in
this city, Charles Rogers & Son.
these comments attention was fre
quently invited to the fact that rifle
practice is more especially the busi
ness of the army than of the navy,
and that white the Military Academy
has time and enthusiasm for foot
ball, baseball, polo and tennis, it is
absent from the National Rifle Match
at which the Naval Academy wins
conspicuous honors."
Col. Evans highly compliments
Maj. I. M. Brett, in charge of the
Statistical office; Maj. James B, Dick
man, chief range officer and Capt,
Guy II. B. Smith, chjef pit officer,
and speaks in the highest terms of
the assistance rendered by the of
ficers of the National Guard of Ohio,
including Gen. A. B. Critchfield and
Col. Edward T. Miller, who acted as
Post Quartermaster.
NATIONAL RIFLE MATCHES.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 10, -As
the next national rifle matches
will be shot at Camp Perry, Ohio,
and it is more than probable that Lt.
Col. R. K. Evans, now of the General
Staff, will be again executive officer
of the matches, considerable curiosity
has been manifested by riflemen as to
his report on the matches of 1907.
This report, accompanied by reports
from almost all of the team' captains
present at the last matches, has pas
sed through the regular channels and
while the report in full will not be
made public certain extracts are
available. The size and importance
of the national matches from the war
department's standpoint is shown by
the fact that, as Col. Evans reports
75 officers of the regular army were
detained to assist the executive of
ficers as assistant statistical or range
officers, in addition to the large num
ber of officers of the National Guard
who volunteered for that duty. In
addition there was from the regular
establishment the 3d battalion of the
4th infantry, and the 2nd battalion of
the 7th infantry, with a total of eigh
teen officers and 375 men; and a field
hospital with 57 men. There were
also 14 officers and 287 men detailed
from the Ohio National Guard. All
of these officers and men were in
addition to the riflemen present, of
whom there were approximately a
thousand. Col. Evans reports there
were not enough officers and men to
handle the match and recommends
the following detail for the next
match: 3 battalions of infantry of not
less than 260 men each; one troop of
cavalry of not less than 65 men; one
signal corps company of 3 officers
and 100 men, and one field hospital of
not less than 2 officers and 60 men.
Col. Evans thinks the range will be
satisfactory even in bad weather with
tiling and other artificial drainage,
macademized roads and concrete
walks, etc. In discussing the firing
points he says. "Intervals between the
groups at 200, 600 and 800 yards were
not sufficient to permit the simultane
ous use of the ranges, and the firing
points at 1000 yards overlapped those
at 600 yards so that about ten targets
could not be used while firing either
together or at the shorter range."
This condition is to be remedied by
additional construction. Col. Evans
was pleased with the targets used,
especially with the skirmish targets
which consisted of indurated straw
board cut to the size of the kneeling
and prone figures and mounted on the
B frame. The system of having a
buzzer at each target should hereafter
be considered indispensable. "The
great and general improvement in
marksmanship throughout the Union
durine the past year," he says, "as

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
Signature of
shown by this table is a satisfaction
to all who are interested in rifle prac
tice. This shows advance in good
shooting as the result of the work of
the National Rifle Association and of
the influence of the National Match."
The table shows a gain in points by
the various teams over their scores of
1906 as follows: Navy, 290; Mass. 242;
Ohio 364; Cavalry 175; Wash.337;
Penn. 372; Infantry 88; New York
164; New Jersey 284; Minnesota 225;
Illinois 204; Wis. 186; Marine Corps
71; District of Columbia 386; Mich.
262; Oregon 310; Maryland 350;
Georgia 370; Iowa 218; Conn. 195;
Colo. 237; Cal. 316; Montana 273;
Fla. 96; Kans. 294; Indiana 336; Texas
328; Missouri 563; Okla. 810; West
Va. 539; New Mex. 464; Miss. 835;
S. C. 118; Ala. 649; Tenn. 167; Louisi
ana 142; and Virginia 398. Nebraska
and Vermont were the only two
states making less points, the former
losing 47 and the latter 76.
Col. Evans gives a resume of the
recommendations of the team cap
tains together with some of his own.
It is recommended that as many of
ficers as possible who fill important
positions in each national match be
re-detailed for the succeeding match
and that the detail of the executive
officers and his staff be made as
early as practicable. He suggests a
board of officers to formulate rules
for the work of the statistical office
and to work out changes in blanks and
score cards which experience has
found advisable. He recommends
that all officers be ordered to report
at such time as will allow chief range
officers at least three days for their
thorough instruction and training.
He terms the practice of firing pieces
to foul them a nuisance, that it is
dangerous and does no good. The
theory that such firing materially af
fects scores on the range is believed
by him to be a superstition more than
a demonstrated fact. He therefore
recommends that the practice be for
bidden under penalty of disbarrment
from the match. He also recom
mends that the practice of pointing
fire-arms from behind the firing line
be forbidden under the same penalty,
as there were two accidental dis
charges of supposedly "unloaded"
weapons during the last match and it
was only a matter of good luck that
some one was not killed or wounded
during this senseless and dangerous
practice.
He recommends that preliminary
practice take place on Friday and
Saturday before the National Match
which should begin on Monday. This
recommendation has been adopted by
the board. "The incident most gen
erally commented upon in this
match," he says, "was the phenome
nal record made by the Naval Acad
emy team. Not only did it win 6th
place in the Team Match, but one of
its members, Midshipman W. A. Lee,
was the winner of the National Indi
vidual and also of the National Pis
tol Match. Many competitors and
spectators commented with surprise
on the fact that although opportunity
was given in orders, yet the U. S.
Military Academy was not repre
sented in the National Match. In
TAFT AS KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 10,-Sccrc
tary Taft was given a memorable ova
tion by 15,000 people in the conven
tion hall tonight where he was the
guest of honor and principal speaker
at the most elaborate banquet ever
attempt in this city. There were 1200
banqueters, many of whom came from
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
distant Missouri cities. The demon
stration accorded Taft as he arose
to speak has never been surpassed by
any welcome given any public man in
the history of the city.
The balconies of the hall were
thrown open to the public and long
before the hour of speaking began,
standing room was at a premium.
Secretary Taft's speech was a general
defense of the Republican party and
especially policies of the Roosevelt
administration. Regarding the recent
panic, the speaker said the President's
special message completely answers
the statement that the administration
s responsible for the present depres
sion. Taft says we were passing into
a regime of irresponsible plutocracy
and that during the past four years
the people have awakened to the
danger and there now was a popular
demand that all lawbreakers, no mat
ter how wealthy or high or powerful,
shall be made to suffer. Under Roose
velt's leadership, he said, the Repub
lican party has not faltered in its
determination to rise to the occasion.
The Jumping Off Place.
"Consumption had me in its grasp;
and I had almost reached the jumping
off place when I was advised to try
Dr. King's New Discovery; and I
want to say right now, it saved my
life. Improvement began with the
first bottle, and after taking one
dozen bottles I was a well and happy
man again," says George Moore, of
Grimesland, N. C. As a remedy for
coughs and colds and healer of weak,
sore lungs and for preventing pneu

AT THE STAR THEATRE.
The management of this popular
place of amusement was greviously
disappointed to learn, on Sunday
night, that the stock company which
had been secured for this week, had
failed to make connection. Not to
dissappoint their audiences Messrs.
Fritz & Hutchings wired to Portland
to secured talent and succeeded in
presenting a good entertainment last
night.
The first on the program is "The
Concertina King" who manipulates
this pretty instrument in a manner
that wins two boisterous encores.
Dick Hutchins sings "My Wild
Irish Rose" in his own inimitable
style.
Miss Lois Cecele Hobson sings
beautifully, and last night responded
to three encores. Her last song "So
Long Mary" is very catchy.
The moving pictures are fine, "The
Four Footed Hero" closing to an
outburst on the part of the audience
when the, "hero" and little girl, whose
life he had saved were shown on the
screen. The closing pictures "Christ
mas" is also a ne subject wjiich
catches the audience.

A VALUABLE HOME
RECIPE
WILL BREAK UP A COLD IN
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OR
ANY COUGH THAT IS CUR
ABLE.
Mix one-half ounce of Concentrat
ed oil of pine with two ounces of
glycerine and a half pint of good
whiskey. , Shake thoroughly each
time and use in doses of a teaspoon
ful to a tublespoonful every four
hour.
The renowned throat and lung spe
cialist who established a camp for
consumptives in the pine woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there attracted international atten
tion, declares that the above formula
is one of the very best remedies ob
tainable for an acute cold and that it
will strengthen the lungs, relieve
coughs and heal the bronchial tubes.
Also, that it will cure any case of
lung trouble not too far advanced if
the patient will assist by plenty of
outdor exercise, inhaling deep, long
breaths every few minutes.
The ingredients are procurable of
any good prescription druggist and
easily mixed at home and should take
its place as one of the most valued
remedies in the family medicine chest.
Inquiry at one of the leading drug
gists elicited the information that
Concentrated oil of pine is put up
for dispensing only in half-ounce
vials securely sealed in tin screw-
top cases intended to protect it from
heat and light. The oils sold in bulk
and the patent medicines put up and
labeled "Oil of Pine," are to be avoid
ed because owing to their impurities
they produce nausea and are useless
as a medicine, besides they sometimes
leave permanent kidney trouble.
ANOTHER SKELETON FOUND.

OAKLAND, Feb. 10,-The skele
ton dug up at Elmhurst last Satur
day, leads the coroner's office to be
lieve they are on the rack of a big
murder mystery. The bones found
today were in the same state of pre
servation as the others. They were
located in the same hole about two
feet deeper. The bones found Satur
day have been examined by surgeons
at the request of the coroner's office
and pronounced human bones and
not enough decomposed to bear out
the theory that they were those of
some ancient Indian as was at first
supposed.
HOGS HURRIED TO MARKET.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10. -Receipts of
hogs at the United Stock Yards in
Chicago broke all previous records.
Before noon more than 75,000 head
had been unloaded and more were ar
riving. The high price of corn is
said to be the cause for the market
ing of the animals in such great numbers.

Hyomei Gives Quick Relief
Catarrh Troubles.
in
Be wise in time and use Hyomei at
the first warning of catarrhal troubles.
Do not let the disease extend along
the delicate mucous membrane, grad
ually going from the nose to the throat
thence into the bronchial tubes, and
then downward until the lungs arc
reached and you are in danger of
consumption.
Hyomei will cure all curable forms
and stages of catarrh. It is so uni
formly successful in curing this
common yet dangerous disease that
T. F. Laurin takes all the risk of a
trial treatment.
There is no other treatment for
catarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good. None can take its place, none
give such quick and sure relief and
at so little cost. Its medications is
breathed through a pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, thus
reaching the most remote cells of the
air passages, killing the catarrhal
germs and soothing and healing the
irritated mucous membrane.
Begin the use of Hyomei today and
you will soon find that the offensive
breath, the droppings into the throat,
the discharge from the nose and all
other symptoms of catarrh are over
come and cured. The complete out
fit costs but $1.00 and T. F. Laurin
stands ready to refund the money if
it does not cure catarrh.
Card of Thanks.
We desire, by this means, to convey
our grateful thanks to each and all
who, in any manner, contributed to
our peace and comfort during the
recent illness and death of our dear
mother and grandmother.
