The following remarkable statement
was recently made by L. T. Cooper.
It concerns the prepargjfion which hag
been so widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year, and
has sold in such enormous quantities
in leadiDg cities:
"It is now a well-known fact that
wherever I have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-ple
have brought internal parasites,
or tapeworms, to me. In many cases
these people did not know the nature
of the parasite, and were consequently
extremely nervous until X explained
the matter to them. In some cities so
many bare had this experience that
the public generally became Uarmed.
"I take this opportunity of explain-ing
what these creatures are, and what
I have learned about them in the past.
"Tapeworms ¿.re much more com-mon
than would be supposed. I ven-ture
to §ay that ten per cent, of all
chronie stciuaab trouble, or what is
known as a 'rundown' gondition, j3
caused by them. An individual may
suffer for yesrs with one of these great
parasites aiad jjsji be &ware p£ it,
"Contrary to general belief, the ap-petite
is not greatly increased—it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
fppling of faintness, however, and a
sua wing sensatioo in the pit of the
stomach.
"People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and, depressed.
Their chief sensation is one of lan-guor,
and they tire, very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug-gish.
The memory becomes not so
good, and the eyesight is generally
poorer.
"The New Discovery, in freeing stom-ach
and bowels of aU impurities, seems
to be fatal to these great worms, a n (i
almost immediately expels them from
thg system. I wish to assure anyone
who hag the experience just related
with my preparation, that there is na
cause for alarm in thg jnattir; and
that it will as a rule mean a speedy
restoration to good health,"
The Cooper medicines are a boon

DEPOSITS HÂVE DECREASED.
The Statements of Banks in the Coun-ty
Show Less, but Still They Hold
$36,000,000.
Lancaster Inquirer.
'Money is tight" has been the cry
for two months. ''People are with-drawing
their money from banks and
hoarding it," has been the explanation.
"They'll soon get over their scare, and
it will go back again," is the hopeful
expression of all save the ultra pessi-mistic.
A short time ago the 30 national
banks of Lancaster county held a mil-lion
dollars less than they reported
holding three months before. On the
1st of September they had a bit more
than nineteen millions. Apparently
some of their depositors had shared in
the scare that overspread the country.
But the other banking institutions in
the couut.y, in the same time, showed
an increase What then about the
scar«-? Perhi»ps there w sn't, any after
all. May not the decrease have been a
lesult of the ordinary fluctuation in
that branch of business? The decrease
did not hit all the national banks, for
some of them h.-id greater assets at their
latest report (ban they had September
1st. Neither did all the other banks
make gains ; some had a falling off.
Unitedly, the 88 banks had about $850,-
OOo more than they had three months
earlier, but about 1868,000 more than
they had a year ago. "Only the usual
but uncalcuable in our business," say
the bankers.
But it may well be the case that if
the banks were to report today, after
the golden shower of an unexcelled
Christmas tade has poured its flood
into their vaults, they would one and
all report such a sudden gain in assets
that, instead of writing about a de-crease
in their united holdings, the In-quirer
man would be exhaustiug bis
vocabulary of ejaculation to express his
appreciation of the remarkable char-acter
of their solid growth.
May Lose a Hand.
Joseph Eshleman, a well known far-mer,
of near Rawiiusville, met with an
accident wbieh may cost him his right
hand. He was cutting wood with a
circular saw when the piece he was
sawing slipped and the hand passed
under the saw. It was mangled in a
dreadful manner. A physician was
summoned and everything possible will
done to save the hand, although it
is feared amputation will be necessary.

Judicially dead George M. Gable was
awarded a fortune of $12,000, under
peculiar circumstances. Seventeen
years ago he deserted bis wife and chil-dren.
ifothing was heard of him for
many years and be was declared legal-ly
dead in 1901, and his wife tnen re-married,
In some way he received information
that he was entitled to a share of his
uncle's estate, and made claim for it.
He was notified that upon his appear-ance
in Lancaster he would be arrested
for abandoning his family.
Through his attorney a compromise
was effected, and it is believed that bis
wife will get a substantial part of the
inheritance. His wife was the main
witness to prove that be was the miss-ing
heir.
He being alive when his wife remar-ried,
her present husband has filed <u
application for divorce, and it wili e
granted.
Gable will return to his home in Cali-fornia,
where he has a responsible posi-tion
with the Southern Pacific Rail-way,
and his wife, now with two bus-bands
living, will then have none.

L a n c a s t e r d u l l Member E x p l a i n s in
P a p e r W h y President R e m a i n e d a
Bachelor.
In a paper read before the Lancaster
County Historical Society, Mrs. James
D. Landis has brought to light a
hitheito unpublished story of a love af-fair
of President James Buchanan,
which, it is said, led Pennsylvania's
only President to lead the life of a
bachelor until his death.
The incident which led to the break-ing
of Buchanan's engagement with
his flnancee occurred in this city. The
future President, a young lawyer at the
time, was associated with William Jen-kins,
of this city, in a case being argued
before the Supreme Court in Philadel-phia,
and Mr. Buchanan had gone to
Philadelphia in the interest of the case.
On his return he stopped at the home
of Mr. Jenkins to acquaint him with
the details of the argument. Miss
Grace P. Hubley, so the story runs, a
sister-in-law of Jenkins, hearing Mr.
Buchanan speaking, came downstairs
to greet him. The young lawyer then
took his departure. Miss Hubley later
wrote a note to Miss Ann Coleman,
Mr. Buchanan's flnancee, telling her
jokingly that she had a cail from him,
and that they had had a pieasant after-noon
together.
This so angered Miss Coleman, it is
said, that, without waiting for an ex-planation
from Mr. Buchanan, she
broke the engagement. A short time
later Miss Coleman made a hurried
trip to Philadelphia, where she died
very suddenly, reports at the time say-ing
that her death was due to suicide,
caused by remorse. Miss Coleman's
body was brought to Lancaster and it
lies in St. James1 churchyard.
County Fair in Prospect.
A movement is on foot to establish a
fair grounds for this county. At a re-cent
meeting of interested persons they
adopted the name of the Lancaster
County Fair Association, and elected
James A. Miller, Piesident, and I. C.
Arnold, B-q , Secretary. It was stated
that nearly $(-¡,000 had been subscribed,
but $50,000 will be needed. Persons in-terested
in the new organization have
secured an option on a desirable site,
upwards ot fifty acres, on the Buck-waiter
farm, on the Harrisburg turn-pike,
adjoining Long Park. The stock
>i i!l be sold ai $10 a share, being made
low, in order that as many people as
possible may be interested in the pro-ject.
The plans proposed contemplate
the erection of neat buildiugs and a
fine race track

Wants a Leaman Rifle.
A great many years ago the Leaman
Rifle Works went out of business, but
this fact is probably not known to every
person. J. C. Leaman, of Lancaster,
has received a letter from a resident of
Brower, Mo., ordering a rifle. He
gives minute details of the kind of wea-pon
he desires. In his country shooting
matches for steers are as common as
shooting matches for turkeys here.

fifty members. Every person is cordi-ally
invited to participate. '
There Was a Reason.
It was with surprise that people
living in the East End of town noticed
how assiduously a young girl performed
the duty of cleaning the pavement in
front of her home. Early in the morn-ing
and late in the afternoon, never
missing if the weather at all permitted,
s e was on duty. Then all at once it
came to an end. Afterwards the par-ents
learned that a young man passing
to and fro from the trap factory was the
cause of the whole aflair. When he
quit working there the girl naturally
didn't care much about the pavement.
How She Worked the Racket.
A poor, hard-working woman in this
borough, who keeps one male boarder,
in order to help the family along be-cause
her husband is not a good pro-vider,
both of whom also like to have a
supply of the ardent on hand for emer-gency
sake, worked a racket weil
worth mentioning. Now it happened
that this woman was in the act of pre-paring
mince meat, but lacked the
principal ingredient to give mince pies
the necessary flavor and she also was
minus the wherewithal to purchase it.
At this juueture a good idea dawned
upon her. Knowing that each of the
male occupants of the house had a jug
of liquor in an out of-the-way place she
was not slow to avail herself of the op-portunity
of confiscating the stuff',
emptying eacb jug to within a small
quantity, replacing the same amount
she took out with fresh well water, and
the mince pie material was complete.
The men a little later on could not un-derstand
why their "schnapps" was so
weak, but the woman wisely held her
tongue and plead ignorance. »

Canning Company Direcotrs' Meeting.
The board of directors of the Ephrata
Preserving and Canning Company
held a special meeting in the canning
building on Saturday afternoon, to take
steps toward wiuding up the Com-pany's
business afiairs. For the last
several years the. Company's business
was rather a drag, mainly from the fact
that goods that were required to run
the plant were not raised by the far-mers
of this vicinity.
The board of directors were com-pelled
to personally endorse the papers
to keep the plant running, and now
they refuse to do 90 any longer and
have decided to wind up the Company's
afiairs at once. This means that the
entire property, personal and real, will
be sold at public sale in near future and
the proceeds used to liquidate the
debts.
