YOUNG MAN WILL BE IN
ST. LOnS THIRTY DATS.
Talks of the Medicines He Controls
That Have Rem a f mrsulon tn the
East and Have Made Him the Large
Fortune Which He Is Now Bald o
St. Louis, May 10. L. T. Cooper, or
the "Greatest Cooper," as he Is called,
was seen in the hotel this morning by
a reporter and proved to be a com
paratively young man, as he Is little
over SO years of age.
Mr. Cooper Is the man who Is said
to have created a sensation In eastern
cities by his extensive charitable work
nd the enormous sale of two prepar
ations of which he Is the owner.
While talking his face lights dp with
smile, almost boyish in Its expres
sion, and he seems very young to have
acquired the enormous fortune he Is
said to possess. When asked about
his plans for his visit to St. Louis,
he eald:
"I shall remain In this city about
four weeks. I have come here to In
troduce my preparations in my usual
way and I will give the public ample
opportunity to ascertain whether the
claims I make for these medicines can
be verified.
"It Is one of my beliefs that every
successful man should devote a part
of his resources In aiding the unfor
tunate. I rely to a great extent on
the public for Information concerning
families, or Individuals who are in
need, and I will, therefore, be very
grateful to all who will send me the
name and address of people who are
destitute."
Upon being asked about the public
removals of deafness, which he has
made In Pittsburg and other cities.
Mr. Cooper said, "I have appeared
each night In the cities I have visited,
before audiences that ranged from two
to ten thousand people, and have
stated that I - would remove in less
than three minutes' time, deafness of
years' standing.
"I have treated In public in this
manner over a hundred people each
night. I shall do this work In St
Louis to some extent, and I will then
prove whether I am successful or not
It will be time to discuss this work
after I have given one of these dem
onstrations as my claims would now
seem extravagant.
"The preparation with which 1
give these demonstrations Is not the
one to which I owe my success, as my
New Discovery Is my principle rem
edy. Ahis preparation Is for the re
moval of all forms of stomach trou
ble. ' 4'J'ltSI
"I have not yet decided where my
headquarters will be while here, but
will know within the next 24 hours."

BARD ROASTS SHAW'S PLAY.

Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing
Treatment nf HyomeL
Bronchial troubles are purely lo
cal. They cannot be helped by
stomach losing. They are caused by
Irritation in the air passages and can
be relieved and cured by medicated
air alone. In this lies the secret of
the great success of Hy-o-mel In the
treatment of bronchial troubles.
The Hy-o-mel medication, laden
with nature's remedies, is breathed
through the nent pocket Inhaler that
' comes with every outfit reaching
every part of the bronchial tuhjes
and killing at once the disease
germs. It allays all Irrigation and
heals the Inflammation of the mu
Scous membrane with astonishing ra
pidity. Treatment with sprays, douches
and atomlseis In bronchial troubles
Is condemned by the best physicians,
as they cause further Irritation.
The first breath of Hy-o-mel's
medicated air seems to sooth the In
flammation, stop the cough, and
thus relief soon becomes permanent
and a cure results,
Hy-o-mel pas made many remark
able cures in the worst and most
chronic forms f bronchial trcubles
and Is sold by Tallman A Co., with

Walla Walla Rector Flays "Mrs. War-
ren's Profession."
The Walla Walla Bulletin says of
Rev. Andreas Bard's disapproval ofw
Mrs. Waren's Profession," Bernard
Shaw's new play.
Rev. Andreas Bard flayed "Mrs.
Warren's Profession," Bernard Shaw's
play, which will be seen here soon, In
his sermon at the Episcopal church
yesterday morning. While In Spokane
Mr. Bard witnessed the production
of this much-discussed drama, and he
spoke of It yesterday In no uncertain
terms. He gave a brief history of the
drama from the days of Sophocles to
those of the modern problem play.
"The stage Is one of the most powerful
factors," he said. "In the evolution of
society. The Greeks preached power
ful sermons through the presentation
of Aeschyles and Euripides. In them
the almighty power of the conscience
as a test of human action Is classically
portrayed.
"In the middle nges the morality
nlav had the endorsement of the
church, and In fact, Illustrated the les'
sons of the pulpit. Shakespeare, too,
had this Idea In mind when he made
Hamlet say 'the play's the thing by
which I'll touch the conscience of the
king.' King Lear shows the vice of
Ingratitude; Macbeth the vanity of
Amhltlon: Hamlet the danger of
thnuKht without corresponding action,
"All these dramas are sermons. But
from Shakespeare to Bernard Shaw
there Is nulte a toboggan slide. I have
seen 'Zaza' and found In It some re
deeming ff-atures, although I regret
thnt It dwells with unnecessary leisure
over the coarser aspects of life. But
in 'Mrs. Warren's Profession' 1 have
viUnly looked for a star In a gray sky.
The dialogues are not only coarse,
but nnuveatlng. The 'profession' can
not be mentioned without causing a
hlush on the check of the most cal
loused. Leaving the theater one woul
ak himself 'what's the use trying
virtue Is a sham; religion hypocrisy
society a make-believe; vice a mere
circumstance.'
"Hernard Shaw holding the torch to
modern civilization, reminds me of
Ilerostratus, who lacking legitimate
talents to mke hlmsaelf Immortal, at
Inst set afire the magnificent temple
of Diana. I admit that there are many
things In modern life that need th
hammer of the Iconoclast. But when
we apply it we should reconstruct as
well as destroy. We should be like
the old Jews who, when they rebuilt
the temple held In one hand the sword
with which they fought the enemy,
and In the other the trowel with which
they rebuilt the ruins.- There Is but
one legitimate writer of problem
plays; the man who criticises the
weakness of our Ideals, and then
shows us how we can do better."
NEW RAILRLOAD RULES.
Washington Railroad Commission
Makes New Orders.
A correspondent at Olympla says
of the new orders Just issued by the
Washington railroad commission:
The railroad commission has issued
the rules and regulations which have
been under consideration for several
weeks past, governing the transpor
tation of passengers, record of car
distribution, passenger depot require
ments, bulletining of trains and safe
ty appliance devices on the railroads
within the State of Washington. The
regulations become effective on June
10.
Several conferences have been
held between the commission and
ral'.rond officials during the prep
aration of those regulations, and
while concessions were granted by
the commission In some particulars
wherein railroad passenger officials
convinced the commissioners that
certain proposed rules would work
needless hardships, the rules as fi
nally promulgated are substantially
the same as Originally drafted by the
commission.
Tbe rule requires the Issuance of
interchangeable mileage books, which
has been under discussion for some
time past, has already been rut Into
effect and the books are now on sale.
Rule 10 requires the railroads to
have the rules and regulations print
ed and a copy posted at each pas
senger depot In tho state. It Is probil
able, however, that the rnllroad com
mission itself will have these notices
printed and sufficient copies supplied
the . railroads, on upplieatlon, for
posting In their depots.
