"I favor good bridges. Reinforced

but until our property owners fool

COOPER

Young Philantnropisi win
Remain in St. Louis
Thirty Days
St. Louis, Jan. 8.
I,. T. Cooper, or tho "Great
CoopOr," as ho Is called, was seen In
his hotel this morning by a roporter,
nnd proved to bo n comparatively
young man, aa ho Is llttlo ovor thirty
yours of age.
Mr. Cooper Is tho man who is sam
to havo created a sensation In east
ern cities by his oxtenslvo charitable
work and tho enormous Balo of two
preparations of which ho Is tho own
er. Wlillo talking his faco lights up
with n smile, almost boyish In Its ex
pression, and ho seems vory young to
hnve ncqulred tho enormous fortuno
he M laid to possess. When asked
about his plans for his visit to St.
Louis, ho eld:
"I shot remain In this city about
four weeks. I havo como hero to In
troduce my preparations lii my usunl
way, nnd I will glvo tho public nmplo
opportunity to ascertain whothor
tho clulmi I mako for thoeo medi
cines enn bo vorlfled.
"It Is ono of my beliefs that ov-
ory successful man should devote a
pnrt ot his resources In nl.llnc tho
unfortunate. I roly to n great ox
tont on tho public for Information
concerning fumllloe, or Individuals
who are In need, nnd I will, thoro
foro, bo vory grateful to nil who will
send mo tho nanio und nddross of
people who are dostltuto."
Upon bolng nsked nbout tho public
removals of dontnoss, which ho has
made In Pittsburg and othor cities,
Mr. Coopor seld: "I havo oppearod
each night In the cltloa I havo visited
before audiences that ranged from
two to ten thousand people, nnd havo
stated that I would romovo In loan
than threo'mln.utoa' time, dentness
ot yenra' standing."
"I havo treated In public In this
mnnnor over n hundred people ench
night. I shnll do this work In St.
Louis to somo extent, nnd I will then
prove whether I nm successful or
not. It will bo time to discuss this
work nfter I hnve given one ot those
demonstrations, us my claims would
now seem oxtrnvngnut.
"The preparation with which I
gKe thaw demonstrations Is not tho
one to which I owe my succeee, ns
my New Discovery Is my principal
return!)'. This1 preparation Is fur the
removal nt all forms of stomach
trouble.
"I have not yet decided where my
liBHilqwHi (era will be while here, hut
will know within the next twenty
four hoHra.""

LAWS
Proposed to be Enacted by the

State Superintendent Ackerman
has Just completed the draft of a
bill for n compulsory education law
that ho feels. If Judiciously enforced
will havo the desired effect. The bill
B now In the hands of the attorney
ceneral for examination and correc
tion of any llttlo defects or dlscrop
ancles that may havo eropt In Inad
vertently. The bill Is Blmllar In many re
nort to tho compulsory education
law now In effect, but Its provisions
.1- ...1 fn.-.AnfOitni?.
are moro arasuu mm -- -
ifndnr this proposed act nil cniioron
between tho ages of six nnd fourteon
nro compelled to attend school, ex
cept In certnln cases of oxomptlon,
In tho district In which they Hvo,
hut. Instend of punishing tho chil
dren themsolvoa for negllgency, It
contomplntes that tho parents nro to
ha hold resnonslblo for their chil
dren's non-attondnnco nnd prosecuted
for contributory negligence. It also
provides that the school clorks,
teachers, principals nnd superintend
ents nro subject to n penalty for fail
ure to do their duty In tho matter or
mnklnn ronorts, etc., nnd tho ponce
officers of the district ovor which
they have Jurisdiction to net as tru
ant officers.
"In one respect," said Superintend
ent Ackermnn. In discussing tho
merits of his bill, "this bill goos n
llttlo farther than any othor compul
sory education bill that I havo ovor
seen, nnd thnt Is In penalizing tho
School authorities for non-fulfillment
of their dutlos. Bach school clork
Is required to furnish tho superin
tendent of the county In which his
district Is located with n copy ot tho
census of fnmlles with children In
his district, giving nil of tho nnmoa
ot tho members ot tho families, their
nges nnd resldonco.
"When n child Is seon on tho
streets that ought to bo In school ho
Is not molested but tho truant officer
finds out who his parents nro, and
then goes quietly to them and ascer
tain why tho child Is not In sohnol.
If the explanation Is not satisfactory
to him, he orders tho child sent to
sohnol with books ou the following
Monday morning, nnd cautions the
parents ot tho pennlty,to which they
are subject for failure to heed tho
warning.
"The great trouble with the pres
ent law Is tlmt no particular officer
or class of ofUcertf Is designated t(
enforce Its provisions, nnd the result
ot It I that the law Is practically a
dead letter. Under my proposed
bill. In case of a rural district, which
this bill I designed to cover partic
ularly, tho constable acts as truant
o Ulcer, and lu tho city the police of
ficers perform this duty, or n spoclnl
truant officer mny be appointed. In
brief, this contemplated compulsory
education law will be compulsory In
fact, nnd It will not Intorforo with
tho child labor law now In effect, and
which Is a good ono, but It only has
the desired effect In cities."
Tho penalty prescribed for viola
tion ot the ltd Is n flno ot not less
than J8 nor more than $20 for onch
