Will End Saturday Night.
Tomorrow is Last Opportunity

Advantage of This Occasion.
SOME WONDERFUL REPORTS.
Have Been Received Lately Re
garding These Preparations.
Testerday was a banner day for Mr.
Cooper at his headquarters, Stansfleld s
drug store, 632 Kansas avenue. Many
people came to buy the remedies, and
others to express their thanks for what
the medicine had done for them. .
Among the latter was a gentleman
Who had the following to say:
"I have suffered for several years with
stomach trouble and nervousness. I
ould not sleep at night, and dark spots
would appear before my eyes. I had no
appetite, although once in a while I
could eat a hearty meaL My strength
failed me until I had almost decided
that I must be operated on to save my
life.
"One day I read about Cooper's pre
parations and decided to try them. Af
ter using the medicine a few days I be
gan to Improve. I did not seem so
nervous, and my stomach felt easier. I
could sleep restfolly, and my appetite
returned. I am feeling like a new man
again, and wish, to say that Cooper's
preparations are the best in the world,
as they have made me well and happy."
Another gentleman whose case was
very similar said:
"For ten years I have suffered from
stomach trouble. I had no appetite
and food felt like lead in my stomach.
I had severe headaches, dizzy spells,
and was always tired and languid. I
had pains in my back; was constipated,
and my health was broken down en
tirely. M
"I heard of Cooper's remedies and de
c'ded to try them. At once I began to
feel better, my appetite came back, the
pains in my body left me, and I can
once more enjoy life.
"I can not say too much in praise of
these wonderful medicines, as they
have completely restored me to health."
Mr. Cooper's visit to Topeka will close
tomorrow night.
ROUTED FOUR ROBBERS.
Saloon Keeper Killed One and Pat
Others to Flight.
New York, Feb. 28. In a desperate
battle with four men who attempted
to rob him as he was about to close
his saloon in East Twenty-fourth
street early today Thomas Craven
shot one of the robbers dead and put
the others to flight.. Then in a panic
of fear lest the killing might mean
a long term of imprisonment for him,
Craven concealed the body of the
dead robber in a hallway outside the
saloon and hurried to his home with
out notifying the police. When the
officers took him into custody less than
an hour later he at first denied all
knowledge of the killing, but finally
made a full statement.
The three men Who escaped from
the saloon after their companion had
been kilted, alw are under arrest.
The man who was killed was known
only as "Scar" Rellly. Those who
were later arrested gave their names
as John Kenny, Frank Rellly and Al
bert Dobson.
NEW RECORDS MADE
At Auction Sale of Old Coins Half
Cent Goes for $51.
New Tork, Feb. 28. Fifty-one dol
lars paid at an auction of coins for a
copper half cent is said to be the
highest price ever given In this coun
try for a coin of that denomination
and date, 1825. Another high price
paid was forty dollars for a pair of
fifty cent pieces of paper money, one
having Crawford's face and the other
Stanton's on it. Two large United
States cents, dated 1821 and 1822, sold
for 8101. This also was said to be a
record price. A half dollar of 1859
brought $33. Fifteen United States
cents of franc size sold for 810.50 and
a half dollar dated 1858 sold for 896.
Another went for $80.
Robbed Bank of $8,000. .
St. Cloud, Minn., Feb. 28. The
vault of the First State bank of Clear
Lake, 20 miles south of St. Cloud, on
the Northern Pacific, was blown by
racksmen early today. The burglars
secured $3,000 in currency. The
safe and vault were wrecked and the
damage to the building- amounts to
1,000. The cracksmen made their
escape on a hand car.
DNIS THE KILLING.
Alio Now Declares That Father Leo
Just Fell Dead.
Denver, Colo., Feb. 28. Gulseppe
Alio, the slayer of Father Leo, after
conferring with Robert H. Widdd
combe, counsel appointed by the court
to conduct his defense, has re
pudiated the signed statement made
by him in jail at Colorado Springs as
well as all his other confessions.
"I didn't kill the priest, he fell
dead."
Alio declared last night.
"I am a Catholic and had gone to
the church to pray.
"I did not go there to receive the
sacrament. While I was kneeling the
priest came along and put the sacra
ment in my mouth. It is against the
rules of the Catholic church to take
the host without first having been to
confession, so I spat it out.
"The priest fell back and I heard
everybody jump up. It being a strange
place to me, I was afraid, and I ran
out." :
Alio is in poor physical condition.
He has quite evidently undergone
privation, and his story of living on
a single mean a day at the soup
house would seem to be borne out by
his drawn face and weak frame.
TAFT FAVORS ROAD.
Anthony's BUI for the Military High
way Receives Recommendation.
Washington, Feb. 28. Secretary of
War Taft transmitted to Representa
tive D. R. Anthony, jr., today a letter
commending the bill Introduced by
Mr. Anthony in the house and Senator
Curtis in the senate for the contrac
tion of a military road by the use of
federal convicts between Fort Leaven
worth and Fort Riley.
Secretary Taft sent with his letter
an approval of the bill by Quartermas
ter General Alshlre and an emphatio
Indorsement of the project by the
chief of stair. General Franklin Bell,
who stated that he knew of no better
use to which the surplus labor of the
federal prison at Leavenworth could
be put than in the construction of this
road.
It is probable that no action will be
taken by the committees of the house
or senate on these bills until after the
general army legislation is out of the
way, when Representative Anthony
will endeavor to secure a favorable re
port from the house committee on
military affairs.

tee will hold a meeting on Monday
night at 8 o'clock at the Throop hotel
for the purpose of fixing the time of
holding the ward caucuses at which
nominations for councilmen and mem
bers of the board of education will be
made. The Democrats dispense with
tne primary lorm for city nominations
because of the heavy cost Involved.
As usual they will concentrate their
fight in the Second ward where they
hope to elect another Democratic coun
cilman. J. F. La n nan, the Democratic
nominee, was seated last year with a
good majority. The Democratic nomi

held on March 24, two weeks prior to
the time set for the spring election, and
intending candidates on the ticket must
have entered by noon of Saturday,
March 7. This decision was arrived at
a meeting of the committee last even
ing. Candidates for councilmen must
pay an assessment fee of $50 each, the
fee for aspirants for membership on the
board of education will be J5 each
Fees will be paid to W. C. Ralston,
assistant city attorney, who is secre
tary of the committee. He will also be
In charge of the entries. The pay of
the election boards at the primary was
fixed as follows: Judges and clerks, $1;
supervisors, $1.50.
G. T. Mattingly was elected to the
city central committee vice Imrl Zum
walt, resigned and George Lane in
place of R. W. Baton, who has moved
