One Mme Hatton is delivering

Henc- if wives want to retai

-THE COOPERS’ TRIAL
John H Sharp accused with
Col D B Cooper and his son Rob-
in of complicity in the killing of
ex-Senator Cirinick at Nashville
Tenn was a c q u i 1 1 e d ami dis-
charged from custody last Thurs-
day Guilty of murder in the second-
degree with twenty years im-
prisonment as the penalty was the
verdict rendered against the
Coopers’
Immediately the defense moved
to set aside today’s verdict because
of the verdict of disagreement of
yesterday and asked the court to
declare it a mistrial The defeuse
c intends that the jury reported a
disag reeinci t as to the Coopers'
when it brought in the verdict in
favor of Sharp The foreman
said at that time that the jury
Was “hopelessly tied up”
Judge Hart said he would list-
en to arguments on this motion
later He then fixed the defend-
ant bonds at $25 000 each which
amount was acceptable to both
sides
The killing' of ex-Senator Car-
mack right in the heat of the gub-
ernatorial campaign caused more
excilmont throughout Tennessee
than any event since the close of
Cml "’ar Ex-Sena tor Carmack
who ran for the nomination for
governor on the Prohib tion tick-
et was defeated by Gov Patter-
son wh" was re-elected
Ex-Senator Carmack was plac-
ed in the Elitorial ihair of the
Nashville Daily Tennessean and
while occupying that position vent-
ed his spleen through the editor-
ial columns on Col Cooper an old
veteran of the Civil War He in-
dulgtd in personalities which
wi re bitter and to hard for Col
Cooper to swallow
Mr Wesley A Stranger of
Chcago editor of the “Outfitters”
a leading clothing trade journal
in a recent address delivered be-
fore the Contention of Haber--dashers
said in part:
The local paper is the- greates’
thing in thecdmmuniiy It should
be supported It should be read
and patronized The merchants
who think they are clever and
smart w hen they slip one over on
the local paper make a big mis-
take Every dollar you take away
from the local n e iv spa per in
schemes and knocks hurts the
toin It hurts business and most
of all it buns the merchants who
indulge in it
Patronize your home newspa-
per Don’t lelj me that it ha a
small circulation Don’t tell n e
that you reach ten limes as many
people with loss expense using
circulars Don’t spring any of
these lime worn gigs on me at
all- Stop standing in your own
light
Get behind that local paper and
push it for all you are worth —
push it up grade to a posi ion
where it ought to be aild assure
as you are alive you will push
your own business up with it to a
point where vmi never 1 learned
of before v
"hen a man tells me that he
reaches more people and gets bet-
ter results from his circulars I
know that he is deceiving himself
and telling me what I can prove
to be untrue A newspaper in
the community is read by the peo-
ple '1 Ikv learn to watch and
look for it and when they get it
every member of ihe family wants
his turn to see what it says Ads
and all are read If the merchants
of a community will educate the
people to look in the newspaper
for their announcements more
people will read the newspa-
per and greater will be the returns-
If ihe local newspaper has
a small circulation it is the fault
of the mei chants Suppo'e'yoi
do get results from dodgers that
is because you have educated the
people to depend upon dodgers
and it does not prove that new s-
paper advertising will ot pav
It proves that you haye missed a
good opportusity and have wast-
ed a lot of time and motiev edu-
cating people to a wrong idea
and it is up to you to get busy anu
change your tactics
When one gets through reading
the 6000 words contained in the
tariff bill he’ll know i!

ent editor of the Tribune purchas-
ed this out-fit with all its franchis-
es railroad stock etc The writ-
er hua the choice ot another and
belter newspaper plant in an Ok-
lahoma town but held off from

other town
It is our purpose to give our

patronage given fur this issue of
the Tribune and believe that those
who held back till they could see

supporters of their town paper

upot Lenapah will contribute to
the support of the Tribune this
paper will do its part toward the
furthering of cur civic improv-
ments We mail copies ot this paper
back to the old states to let them
know what kind of a place Lena-
pah is and what iiulucmeuts are
offeied tor bomescekers and in-
vistors but don’t let us bear the
burden alone Every man inter-
ested in this town and county
Uf'ht to subscribe for several
copies of the Tribune to be sent
back to the old sfates One man
back there whogets the paper will
show it to others So if only 100
papers are subscribed for 500 or

the rush begins
A RUDE AWAKENING
The Editor of the Tribune re-
turned recently from a trip to his
old home tmyn Knqxviile'iTeno
At 430 A M our train collided
with a freight which stood on a
siding in the railroad yards at
Argcnla across the river from
Little Rock Ark The collision
emptied alKlhe seats of occupants
who were piled en masse in the
aisle One min who was stand-
ing up holding on to the top of a
seat in front of him was hurled
over the tops of six seats Cush-
ion seats fie-i in the air and the
writer got pinned down in
in his seat by a number of them
The fireman on the freight
engine was killed outright and a
number of passengers received
painful but not serious injuries
The writer was among those sent
to the St Vincent Infii mary con-
ducted by “Sisters” of the Cath-
olic Church and he takes this op-
portunity to say that that insttu-
tion is conducted most admirably
He was under the immediate care
of the Rock Island railroad phy
sician who was very kind and at-
tentive The Infirmary phvsi
cians do everything in their pow-
er to relieve the' suffering pa-
tients Of the kindness and tend-
er solicitation from the Sisters
not enough can be said The
rooms aic kept spotlessly clean
and the meals served are nicely
cooked and appetizing There was
one patient in the same mom with
the wri'er who had no money to
pay tor services but he n ceived
as much attention as any of the
pay patients
This article is written as an
acknowledgment ot the kindness
meted out to the writer bv th -se

cent Infirmary

enough to trail his wife and her
