EANAIICAL NEGROES
SHOT DOWN OEEICERS
“Council of God" Was
Name Assumed.
NEW ORLEANS, LA., October 21.
(Special)—Much excitement still
prevails over the killing of Policeman
Cambios Friday night, and the wound
ing of other officers by a group of
negroes who had assumed the name
“The Council of God." Race feeling
runs high.
The shooting is traced by the po
lice directly to the preachings of the
black preacher Robert Slaughter, who
is known as “Prophet Ix>o,” among
the crowd. Slaughter is the head of
a sect which the negroes call the
Council of God, and one of the teach
ings of which, it is said, is not to
fear white men and to recognize no
master.
“We Got No Master”
“We got no master," shouted one
of the fanatics from the beleagured
house during the midst of the shoot
ing, and that teaching, supplemented
with *:Prophet Leo’s” flaming de
nunciations, are charged as being
responsible for the fight with the
police.
Ed Audrey, known better as Hon
ore, a wagon driver, who lives with
Ids family in the house that was turn
ed into a fortress, was one of the
most fanatical of the clan and for
several nights the sect has been hold
ing its meetings in his house. It is a
low frame affair with two rooms fac
ing a yard, on the opposite side of
which is a shed containing as many
more rooms, the yard leading into
New Orleans street at one end and
into Allen street through a fence
on the rear end,
Pledges to Fight
For several nights the white resi-!
dents throughout the neighborhood
have had their nights made miserable
by the bowlings and supplications
of the black throng that gathered in
llonore’s place. Several of the neigh
bors made it a point to investigate and
reported it around that the negroes
were preaching against God and that
they were organizing a "Black Hand.”
"Prophet Leo" preached nightly ser
mons on the freedom of the black race
and importuned his hearers to sub
mit to no master and to fight for their
rights no matter where.
From one resident of the immediate
neighborhood it was learned that the
negroes pledged themselves to fight
for each other and that they were
getting stronger at every meeting.
The usual number that attend the
meetings was placed at 100, but on
the night of the tragedy it is said
only half that number were present.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by au
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing bui
an Inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

CHINESE PLEASED
WITH TAELS SPEECH
Squadron lo Pacific An
(jury Eor Good.
PEKING, October 21. (Special)—
The speech delivered by Secretary of
War Taft at Shanghai, on the occa
sion of his entertainment there has
created more interest among the na
tive officials of Peking than any out
side event since Japan brought about
the deposition of the Emperor of
Korea.
High Chinese officials who regard
the going of the American battle
ship squadron to the Pacific as a
project of good, if mysterious augury,
are disposed to interpret the utter
ances of Secretary Taft as meaning
that the attitude of the United States
in the Far East, is to be backed up
by the presence of the fleet in the
Pacific.
A Chinese official of the State l3oard
discussing Secretary Taft's speech,
said:
“Secretary Taft’s assurances that it
is the intention of the United States
to retain the Philippine Islands, as
well as that the interest of America
in China is that of a neighbor will
have a more far-reaching political ef
fect in Peking than the intimation
that the American Government will
support the aspirations of American
traders for the maintenance of the
open door.”
The European political financial
agents in Peking see very little hope
for success in overcoming the effects
of Japanese influences and interven
tion. and they welcome American ac
tivity in the Far East as the only fac
tor likely to improve the internat
ional situation.
CUBANS PETITION

HAVANA, October 21. (Special)
A petition presented by the Aragon
League to Governor General Magoon
expresses the universal dissatisfac
tion of the commercial and producing
classes with present conditions, and,
in veiled fashion, asks for annexation,
the phrase ‘free interchange between
the two countries” meaning that.
The feeling of commercial ill-being
and political uneasiness is growing
daily, and the only possible solution
of the problem would be a clear de
finition of American policy. Governor
Magoon has won the favor of the la
boring classes, but has made the pro
l ducers desperate.

COURT DECIDED
JNJIS FAVOR.
Cooper ! ought to Retain Formula
Which Has Made a Fortune.
L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 90 per cent of all ill health of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning a national
faith in his theory. His claim is now
admitted by a surprising number of
people throughout the country and he
is gaining new adherents every
day.
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview, Mr. Cooper said: “I
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom
ach would have a fortune. When I
got hold of this formula I knew with
in six months that I was right, and
than my fortune was made. I called
the medicine Cooper’s New Discovery
although I did not get up the formula,
1 have owned it, however, for over
three years. I have had one lawsuit
over it, which I won in the courts.
When it was settled The Cooper Medi
cine Company became the only firm in
the w r orld that can prepare the medi
cine. The preparation has sold like
wildfire wherever introduced. As I
have said before, it is successful sim
ply because, it puts the stomach in
perfect shape, then nature does the
rest. There are any number of com
plaints never before associated with
stomach trouble that the medicine
has alleviated in thousands of cases.”

Among statements obtained re
cently from users of this medicine
that is arousing such universal dis
cussion is one from Mrs. Emma Stan
ley, living in Chicago, at 713 Wash
ington Boulevard, who said: “Per
haps I had the most complicated case
that Mr. Cooper had to deal with. I
was troubled for years with my stom
ach. I consulted with doctors and
took many patent medicine prepara
tions without result. My stomach was
in such a wretched shape that I could
not enjoy a meal that I ate.
“I was very nervous, and could
hardly sleep; I had a roaring in my
ears and dancing spots before my
eyes. I set very bad and weak. Then
there was a very sore spot at the
pit of my stomach that nearly set me
wild.
v “I heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try it. I used four bot
tles, and the improvement in my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quieted, and I am so much
improved that I feel like a new wo
man.
“I cannot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have
made me well.’ 1

and consider them well worth a trial

diseases. —Dodson's Pharmacy.
