Kokomo. IncL Au. IS. Judgo

Hell M.Cooper, of Ktikomo's city court. ! h:i:v left for Indianapolis to appeal to j

Governor Ilunly to require the lorr. metropolitan police board to lift the boycott -which is placed on the city court and Cooper. Not a case has been brought before Judge Cooper for four weeks. The board's action in placing a boycott on the court followed a written opinion submitted by Judge Cooper, in which he sharply criticised the board for employing plain-clothed men to spy out saloonkeepers and gamblers. How It All Came About.

Through the use of detectives the I board obtained information on which i it caused the arrest of a dozen saloon men and employers. When the accused were arraigned before Judge Cooper I he acquitted them, 1 saying he would1 r:ot lind any one guilty on testimony furnished, by the board's detectives. He supplemented his findings with a written opinion, which was calculated to bring the police force into odium and criticise its methods. The police lxard then gave instructions to the police not to tile any more charges in his court. Prosecutor Yoorhls stood with the police board, and the result is that Judge Cooper has now nothing to do, all the city cases being tiled, in the local justice's court. Somebody Ought to Resign. The president of the police board is Thomas Gerhart. who was defeated by Cooper for the Republican nomination for city judge, Cooper being admittedly the candidate of the liberal element and Cerhart of the law-enforcement element. There has not been feeling between the two men since then. The situation seems to be one in which it is impossible to keep the city court and the police board in harmony. Cooper's friends assert that Cerhart is trying to force Cooper off the bench, and Cerhart's friends assert that Cooper is trying to p:t. the police board in such an unfavorable light that Cerhart will be compelled to retire from it.

TOLD 'ESI THEY EAEEII'T President Stickney Puts a Spoke In the Wheel ofthe Minnesota Transfer Company. J?t. Taul, Aug. IS. President A. R Stickney. of the Chicago Great Western railroad, has sent a letter to the board of directors of the Minnesota Transfer company, warning it that in votinr to give Armour & Co. free switching privileges to and from the Armour stock yards as an inducement to Armour & Co. to establish its new packing plant at New Brighton, northeast of St. Paul, they violate the new interstate commerce law. Stickney says the action of the directors in making such an offer, if the offer was accepted, would subject them to a tine of Sl.CxtO to $20,000 and imprisonment, according to the interstate commerce act, and also subject Armour & Co. to similar punishment if it accepted such an offer.

Newcastle, Ind., Aug. IS. For more than a week now the Bundy m?ulstone has been clinging to the arm of Everett I.owery, of near Cadiz, who was bitten by a pet dog. The dog became fastened in a hole in a fence, and when Bowery attempted to release it the animal bit him on the arm. The wound did not bother him at first, but in a few hours his entire arm began to sw ell, causing much alarm. He was brought hero and the madstone was applied. It has been adhering ever since. The swelling has about al! disappeared and the young man feels no ill effects. The record made by the stone in this case is one of the longest in its entire history. According to those who have the stone in charge, the long-clinging record indicates that much poison was .injected into the system by the bite.

An earthquake is reported to have laid waste the city of Valparaiso, Chile, and the reports received here make It. appear that the disaster will prove to be second only to that which visited San Francisco in destruction of life and property. Information comes in fragments. One report that has gained.

credence has it that following the first shock fire started in the city and that hundreds of the inhabitants already have perished in the flames. Many Dead Under the Kuins. The city seemingly caught fire in several places at once, and the flames marked a pathway for themselves toward a common center. It is asserted in one dispatch that prior to the

spreading of the flames many persons lost their lives' under the falling ruins of buildings shaken from their foundations by the first shock of the earthquake. The earthquake interrupted cable facilities to lower South American points. Many Humors of Disaster. Buenos Ay res. Aug. IS.

Nothing Heard from Valparaiso After the First News. New York, Aug. IS. The central cable otlice of the Western Union Telegraph company has received a service message saying: "The 'Valparaiso office is closed until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." No reason is given for this, and neither this nor any other message received by the company throws any more definite light upon the situation in Chile. London, Aug. IS. Some London firms trading with Valparaiso have received telegrams from agents there. One to James and Alexander Brown says: "Severe earthquake. Commerce paralyzed. Town afire. Staff safe." Other dispatches give no details and merely record the safety of their offices and staffs. A Hamburg firm is alleged to have received a dispatch stating that numerous districts in Chile

have been partley or totally destroyed;

How to Prepare For Ita Enjoyment In a Sensible Manner. It is always well to get into first class physical condition before you undertake an ocean journey, for you are sure to tax your strength daily as far ns it will go, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Your family physician can give you some safe, simple remedies fitted to your constitution, which you can take while abroad for any of the ordinary ailments to which your individual flesh is heir, thus sparing you many an uncomfortable moment as well as the necessity of calling in a strange practitioner. How

ever good this doctor is, he may not immediately know how best to treat

you.

The safest plan Is not to take anything which j-our doctor does not heartily indorse, to avoid sweets, uncooked fruit and all things not likely to agree with you. When nauseated, assume a recumbent attitude and remain as quiet as possible. Take only hot and easily assimilated food and have a hot water bag, which you can place either at your feet or stomach. Heat will Boothe a spasm of seasickness when all other methods fail. Spend as much, time as possible on deck. All travelers will find It convenient to have a piece of oiled silk, oilcloth or even waterproof cloth, If not a bag, wherein to wrap wet sponges and towels. Besides all the usual toilet articles, travelers are expected to provide their own soap. This Is conveniently carried In the form of soap leaves. Be sure to have a celluloid case for your toothbrush bristles. A flat steamer trunk to be left at the steamer office until your return Is desirable. This will contain your steamer rug and a small pillow anyhow and probably most of your steamer outfit. A man should have on the steamer one medium weight traveling suit of good make able to withstand weataer. Underwear of extra thickness will make this suit warm enough for cold ocean days, while a couple of suits of gauze underwear will adapt It to temperate and even moderately hot days. An extra suit for emergencies, dress clothes, as need for them Is likely to arise; a mackintosh or raincoat, which can answer for overcoat on cold days and even a dressing gown on a pinch, make the bulk of the impedimenta. A felt hat of comfortable make and shape and a traveling cap answer every purpose as headgear for the aver

age tourist. Most travelers, male and i female, will find It wise to take the J least possible amount of clothing with j them. The only article of which both ' sexes should have a-plenty at the start j

Is footwear, which should be new, yet thoroughly broken In. Remember you are to walk many a mile and stand manv an hour. Low heels, rubber pre-

j f erred, are an assistance, and In most I cases "high necked" shoes are better I than the "decollete" variety. Keep j your ankles warm on shipboard, j Ladles should set out with one tailor ! made skirt and jacket, as plain as posj'slble, cf a material which will shed j the rain and dust and stand the sun. I These should be so constructed that ! you can get In and out of them without

aid from anybody else. Belt, collar and tie should be securely fastened to shirt waist and jacket, so that they crn.'v e mislaid even la an emergency.
