The Plan Proposed to Raise the
Necessary Funds for Build-
ing a Railroad.
THE PEOPLE ARE THE MANAGERS.
A group of Beaver business men met recently at Beaver to discuss the ways
and means for providing Beaver with a railroad. Tho proposition under con-
sideration is entirely different from any other heretofore offered as it docs not
call for any bonus from our people but instead that they are to subscribe to
the stock of the company and control its management.
After a thorough discussion of the proposition it was decided to organize a
company and application was made for a char tor with the following persons ns
temporary directors : J. W. Webb F. C. Tracy. Ray Barnes A.F.Rock W
II. Willhour J. Blanchard Albert Wellborn II. D. Meeso II. P. Garrett Ell
bert Clift D. M. Kile W. T. Quinn and J. R. Quitin.
There is no question aa to the fact that Beaver and surrounding country need
a railroad being 40 miles from Liberal 45 milos from Meade and 50 miles from
Englewood the nearest railroad points.
This is not the first time that Beaver has been talking railroad and has been
expecting one but all the other projects were in the hands of outside people
whose interests here were only to the extent of the amount of money they ex-
pected from Us. The conditions pf the money market and other influences that
are unsatisfactory to the capitalists have blasted all hopes that might have
been entertained for tho building of a railroad to Beaver at an early date and
there remains but one way by which such a railroad can be built and that is by
the earnest co-operation of all our people.
At first thought this may appear to be a dream impossible of realization but
after cool and thorough consideration of the project people will arrive at the
conclusion that the plan is entirely feasible and practical a fact which has been
fully demonstrated elsewhere.
It has been estimated by competent authority that a railroad can bo built
between Beaver and a Rock Island connection for $8000 per mile. Figuring
the distance at 40 miles would make the amount needed .$320000. This is a
vast sum of money but it means only $100 each to 3200 people.
Before making a deal of this kind one should consider the advantages to be
derived by the construction of the railroad and decide whether or not they are
worth the investment. It is an admitted fact that all farms within a radius. of
many miles from the road will increase in value not less than $1000 per quarter
section therefore the owners should be. alive to.Jhcir own interests by sub-
scribing to 'the capital stock of tho company to the extent of their ability. In
this way a territory twelve miles wide on each side of the read will create a
capital of nearly $10000 per mile leaving a considerable margin for the elimi-
nation of sand hill lands etc. There arc also some other items that should re-
ceive the serious consideration of our people. A railroad will soon make Beaver
a city of 2500 inhabitants and will give good values to a considerable number
of almost worthless town lots It also moans for us grnin elevators a flour milj
larger and more lumber yards coal offices broom corn buyers etc. and better
and larger stocks in all lines 01 business. It will save money to out people on
everything they have to buy and will give them better prices for everything
they have to sell as it will do away with the long expensive aud tiresome wag-
on haul. It means more people aud more towns in the country with better
roads and bridges leading to tho various stations. It will mean more time for
the farmers to raise more crops to mtko them more money and will enable
them to spend moro time with their families instead of camping out several
days each week on their way to and from distant markets at the mercy of all
the elements.
Subscriptions to stock arc to be paid in small installments and each man's
investment compared to tho good it brings is so insignificant that everyone
should boost the proposition with all his might aud no man is too poor to help
as he will be given an opportunity to work out his subscription.
It ia said that each man has an opportunity in life. We cannot conceive of a
brighter one than that above described for the welfaro of Beaver and Beaver
county. What is to be done should be done at once.
The subscribers to railroad stock assume no liabilities whatever beyond the
amount unpaid of their subscriptions.
Tho point having been raised as to tho possibility of this railroad being re-
fused recognition from other lines your attention is called to the following
extract fiom the laws of Oklahoma : "To connect with other roads : To cross
intersect join and unite its railroad with any railroad heretofore or hereafter
cons'ructed at any point on its route and upon the ground of such railroad
corporation .with the necessary turnouts sidings and switches and other con.
veniences in furtherance of the objects of its connections. And every corpo-
ration whose railroud is or shall be hereafter intersected by any new railroad
shall unite with the owners of such new railroad in forming such intersection
and connection and grant the facilities aforesaid."

company : J W. Webb F O Tracy Ray Barnes A F Rock W II Humphrey

Chicago. Oct. 23. Special. Excite-
ment over the marvelous cures of L. T
Cooper continue unabated.
Ono of the largest crowds that has
yet called upon the noted philanthrop-
ist visited him yesterday and a re-
markable deinonstartiou of his power
was given before the enliru audience.
Selecting an elderly gentleman whom.
he noticed carrying an oar trumpet
Cooper motioned for hun to come for-
ward. Ho ponied a few drops of a
peculiar liquid into the man's ear aud
then rubbed them softly for a moment.
Stepping quickly backward to a dis-
tance of sixty foot he asked in an or-
nary conversational tone "Can you
hoar me?" A look of surprise and de-
light spread over tho man's face as ho
answered "Yes I hoar you perfectly."
Tho gentleman was Mr John Auft-
ning 37 Boston avenue. Mr. Auftuiug
stated that ho had been deaf for many
years. lie said:
"For nearly ninotoon years f heard
nothing. I had a terrible rumbling
noiso constantly in my head that was
almost maddening. It appeared at a-
bout the timu I lost my sense of hear
ing and no matter what treatment or
remedies I cried I could find.no roliof.
Onco in a long while I could just bare-
ly distinguish a noise but in all of
thoso long yenrs I was unablo to hear
a human voice. 1 had givon up hope
and had resigned myself to a life of
silence when I read of tho Cooper pre-
parations. "Thirty days ago I began
the Cooper treatment and my con-
dition was almost immediately im-
proved. I began to have confidence
and took tho remedies faithfully. Now
thanks to the Cooper mebicincs alone I
can hear as well as I ever did in my lifo.
My family and every ono that knows
me will testify to the wonderful cure
in my case. I shall always be grateful
to Mr. Cooper for what ho has dono for
mo and I want other people who are
deaf to know that there is yet hope for
them."
Many of them who called had come
to thank Mr. Coopsr for what ho had
done for them they having previously
written him a statement of their con-
dition and having followed lite instruc-
tions had returned to tell him of their
cures.
A gentleman by tho name of Emil
Winkler exhibited a gluss jar contain-
ing n parasite eighty feet long which
ho claimed had passed from his system
after taking seven doses of Cooper's
medicine. Tho parasite was alive and
squirming aud Mr. Winkler was anx
ious to know whnt it was.
When Cooper informed him the
cause of his ill health had boon re-
moved he was greatly relieved and
was profuso in his chunks to tho phil
anthropist. Thousands of people view-
ed the parasito.and expressed surprise
that such a thing could exist in the
human system Mr. Winkler is a well-
known electrician living at 182 East
Ohio street. In speaking of his expe-
rience he said ;
"For live years 1 have been moro or
less complaining. I have had severe
headaches and any food that I would
eat would nauseate 1110. I would have

awful thing passed from my system. I
feel much better already and I want
to say right here that I thank-1 Mr
Cooper a hund rod times Tor what his
medicine has done for me.' I .would
not take G000 and have that thing
hack in my system ngain."
A story with a touch of pathos was
related by a gentleman conversant with
tho facts that illustrates tho kindly na-
ture of tho philanthropist and explains
to a groat degree his wonderful hold
upon the people.
A delicate woman whoso face bore
traces or care and suffering und whose
frail body was distorted by tho ravage
of disease called at tho Public Drujr
Store and asked for Mr. Cooper but hn
was out and tho little woinnn turned
away resignedly but sadly disappoint-
ed. To her it was another stroke of mis-
fortune and she turned her weary stops
toward the littlo homo where a nick
husband was awaiting Jior return. But
iter disappointment was of short dura-
tion for Cooper was just then coming
up tho street. Noting tho careworn
look nnd halting step ho caino quickly
forward assisted her carefully over- the
crossing. By a few kindly walldiiwftcd
questions ho learncdthath'e ha&Wen
to cnli upon Mr. Cooper to socuro med-
icine for her sick husband who hod boon
ill for a long tim unablo to provide
oven tho barest necessities for his little
family.
Tho poor woinnn was greatly aston-
ished when sho found that she was talk-
ing to Mr. Cooper himself. Ho assisted
her back to the drug store supplied' her
not only with the required medicines
but also with a gcuorous handful of sil-
ver and sent her home with a light
heartand smiles shining through tears.
That night a big basket of groceries wan
loft at tho littlo home and was not hard
to guess who was tho donor. Another
feature of Cooper's visit to this city
aud that has attracted a great deal of
attention is tho many cures of rheuma-
tism that are effected by the use of
his remedies. Among the number who
mndo statements 011 this subject was
Louise Herman 015 North avenue who
tnid :
" I have for years been a sufferer from
rheumatism and kidney complaint.
At times I was unablo to walk and my
back was very weak. My limbs wore
vory sore and swollen aud I was .in a
very nerroim condition. I could: not
sleep at night always felt tired in tho
morning nnd would often havo severe
headaches. My health had entirely
broken down and I had begun 'to feel
as if life was not worth living. I had
tried different medicines but nil to no
avail. Nothing seemed to help 1110 aud
I did not know what it was to have a
well or happy day.
'One evening I was reading in tho
papers what groat results Cooper's New
Discovery aud Quick Relief were accom-
plishing in Chicago aud I made up my
mind to give them atrial nnd if they
ivoro what the papers said they wore
why then I would surely receive some
benefit.
"So I purchased some of the medjeino
and after tho first few days I noticed
that my sleep was more restful and
that tho pain in my limbs was not so
bad. I kept on using the medicine aud
after two weeks 1 had nearly recovered
my health 1 can never gay enough a-
bout these medicines for I never ex-
pected to see a well day again and
here I am enjoying life with my friends
aud all duo to tho wonderful New Dis-
covery. "I want to say that it is the greatest
remedy in the world for it has' mado
