— DJI» you get a valentine ?
— SOME people run for office as
naturally as others run for their
meals.
-—WHEN the high price of coal
threatens to over-cast your life with a
cloud of gloom these frigid days,
gather unto yourself a ray of sunshine
by thinking how cheap this zero tem
perature will make ice next summer—
perhaps.
— IF these food adulteration revela
tions continue, there will be nothing
left for us to do but eat hay with the
horses, and even then we arc liable to
come across blackberry briars or barb
ed wire right iu the middle of our
midday bale.
— HERE the news dispatches in
form us that the greatest gas plant iu
the world is located at Astoria, Long
Island, w hen we were under the im
pression that it was in the White
House at Washington. Another
evidence that we never grow too old
to learn.
— Leu tsi.A'l'ivj: action is certainly
taking a wide sweep into "paternal
ism''' when a bill is passed prohibiting
one man buying another a glass of
soda water or a bowl of beef tea, or
even a cigar. Of course, such a bill
can not be limited to men; its provi
sions will even keep a fellow from
buying his girl an ice cream soda.
Where is the boasted paladiutu of our
liberties ?
—-LOVE has a long reach, and can
and does cover an awfully wide range.
There is a nice lesson for these folks
who rush into matrimony, and then
try to rush out again through the
medium of the divorce courts, in the
romance of two couples just married
in St. Louis. In both instances, the
courtsnip began five years ago in far
away Hungary, Poverty compelled
separation. The men came to this
country, earned money, sent for their
sweethearts, and married them. It is
love like this, that reaches over seas
and across continents, spanning long
years of patient waiting, that really
makes the world go round.
—PII'K-HMOK I N< ; is becoming more
popu'ar eviry day in the East we
are told, and therein do we read the
signs of vengeance. It looks very
much like retaliation for the agitation
and the legislation against the cigar
ette. Pipe-smoking has been popular
in the AN est for so long that the mem
ory of man runneth not back to the
contrary. The erstwhile noble red
man was a great pipe smoker in days
of old when "bad men were bold" lit
Dodge City, Deadwood and other
frontier towns, and even long before
there were any men, bad or otherwise,
bold enough to venture so far into the
wilds. A\ ith this long record of pipe
work back of us the threatened re
popularizing of the pipe has no terrors
tor us. Rut then there arc pipes and
pipes—meerschaums, briarwood, cobb,
clay and others, not to sav anvtliing
of pipe lines and pipe dreams. It is
from the two latter that the greatest
damage has been and can be done in
the West. If it wasn't for pipe
dreams we wouldn't be so sorely af
flicted with yellow journalism, and
hut for pipelines the Standard Oil
Company wouldn't be such a terror,
— IT is hardly possible that there is
any serious intention of dramatizing
the I haw case, but then you can't
tell where to set the limit when there
is the possibility of making a few dol
lars. When the play wriglit finds ma
terial, as he lias done, in the comic
Sunday supplement he may be expect
ed togo to any sort of source or dig
into almost any sort ot muck heap,
and to find inspiration even in the
deeds aud the environments of a de
generate. If the thing is to be done,
we venture to suggest that it be done
right, and that lie production of the
play be committed to the rght pco
pie—provided, of course, the right
people can be found. Out of the org
inal Florador.i Sextette, whose name
is legion, it ought to be an easy mat
ter to fiud enough actresses, so-called
to take care of all of the female roles,
provided they have not grown fat or
decrepit. There is no doubt that
there would be a perfect rush of aspir
ants for the role of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, a veritable avalanche of ma
terial, and there would be au equal
number of young women eager to pla\
the part of Slav McKenzie, Evelyn's
chum and dearest friend. Tiien
might he some trouble ill finding just
the right women for the roles of tin
mother of the man who killed White,
and one or two of the other female
parts; but for the role of the sister,
the Countess of Yarmouth, there
would be a surplussage—an embar
rassment of riches, as it were—"soc
ie y women" who would pay for th<
privilege, instead of seeking lemunera
.ion for the scrvic.-. So far the thing
look- possible, but now we strike the
tough parts of the proposition. Where
in the world, even in Aetorland,
would it be possible to fiud a man
willing to play the role of Harry
Kendall Thaw even remotely in ac
cordance with known facts, and what
inducement would be sufficient to se
cure a man to portray Stanford White,
the man whom Thaw shot? No, sir;
after a little thought, the thing looks
impossible. Even the most desperate
and daring of the theatrical promoters
will hardly dare undertake such a
tiling.
WHY?
Give every man his due, but don't
let every man do you seems to be the
proper way to view things these days,
even if you must resort to crooked
anil biased means to obtain your end,
or at least that is the way many of
our public office holders or seekers
think.
The man of action may be a man
of faction, but he at least does some
thing if he doesn't get any credit for
what he accomplishes. Today the
Intelligencer is considered far better
than in any other period of its exist
ence, yet it is no surprise to have it
"turned down" when there is prim
ing to be given by office holders.
There is more expense and time spei.t
on the make-up and construction < 112
the Intelligencer than all the other
weeklies of Danville combined, yet
this fact, which ii veiy perceptible,
goes unappreciated, and the slur does
not fall as heavily upon the editor or
the paper as it does upon its intelli
gent readers—which comprises the
best, most influential and largest
number of well-posted readers of
Montour county.
Why this slight ? We cannot say,
except it lie that the editor is not of
the "convivial sort"- that generally
goes to make up and hold the friend
ship of the political boss or petty poli
tician—that is the friendly glass" is
despised and we take every man at
his word, believing that Anuim has
been buried deep.
The thief is much more welcome to
our sanctum than the liar, for we can
protect our few small articles that he
may covet under lock and key, l.ut
the liar is the one who destroys and
robs to such a degree that the loss is
irretrievable.
The Intelligencer is Democratic. It
does i,ot adhere to every thing done
by democrats, but it believes in "gov
erment by the people" and will only
advocate those principles that is bene
fitting to the common people or the
greatest number thereof, and tries to
be fair.
We say, EMPHATICALLY,
THAT THE INTELLIGENCER
SHOULD RECEIVE FIRST RE
COGNITION WHEN PUBLIC
PRINTING IS TO BE GIVEN.
IT IS NOT ONLY THE OLDEST,
BUT THE BEST AND LARGEST
CIRCULATED WEEKLY PAP
ER IN THE COUNTY, (of course
all our intelligent people know this by
lending only ft giuglo gluucc in the
direction of each of the various journ
als), and no one dare refute this argu
ment.
This article may seem a little mys
terious iu its construction, but if read
between the lines, all is clear, and we
leave it to our many kind friends to
ponder over, and incidentally solve
the questions as to why the Intelligen
cer, should not eome first ? and why
it is the one to be first slighted ?

A vast majority of the buildings In

CINCINNATI
PEOPLE EXCITED
The Great Cooper as he is Called Has
Stirred up That City to a
Remarkable Degree.
Cincinnati, O. Feb. 14. This j
city is at present ill the midst of an
excitement beyond anything that it
experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was a
stranger to Cincinnati up to two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T. Cooper, President of
the Cooper Medicine Co., of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is a man about thirty years
of age and has acquired a* fortune
within the past two years bv the sale j
of some preparations of which he is j
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that
preceedcd the young man here were of
the most startling nature. Many of :
the leading dailies going so far as to j
state that he had , nightly cured in
public places deafness of years' stand
ing with one of his preparations. The '
physicians of the East contradicted i
this statement, claiming the thing to I
be impossible, but the facts seemed to
bear out this statement that Cooper
actually ilid so.
In consequence people flocked to
him by thousands and his prepara
tions sold like wildfire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in Cincinnati and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly |
had the young man arrived, however j

Bear« u ho /) The Kind You Have Always BoucM
this land now it Is inevitable that
great buildings will very soon be built
in this section along the railroad which
will forever shut off a view of the
capitol and so enhance values that It
will be practically impossible ever to
make the enlargement of Capitol Park,
which every consideration of good
business demands should be made.
The United States government Is
now about to pay $10,000,000 for a
comparatively small tract of land to
enlarge the White House grounds and
provide aites for necessary buildings
for the executive departments of the
United States government. Thirty-five
years ago. before Washington got its
boom from the enterprise and fore
sight of Governor Alexander R. Shep
herd in laying and paving new streets
and In various other ways beautifying
and improving the city, the land for
which the government will be required
to pay $10,000,000 could have been
gotten for one-twentieth of that sum,
$500,000.
If the enlargement of Capitol Park
is not provided for now the time will
pass forever or we will in a few years
be compelled to pay ten times as much
as we could secure the land for now.
Senator Fox's bill appropriating |l,.
fiOO.OOO to pay for the land was report
ed favorably by the senate committee
on appropriations on Wednesday, This
appropriation will not interfere in any
way with the appropriations for pris
ons, hospitals, asylums, 'schools, good
roads, nor any other proper expendi
ture by the state, for it will take some
years to acquire the property, and the
bill will carry a proviso that not mora
than one-third or one-fourth of the
total appropriation shall be expended
In any one year.
It is confidently expected that the
bill will pass both houses, as It ought
to. There is no sane or cogent reason
why It should not pass and many rea
sons why It should.
J when he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, aud daily
met people afflicted with deafness aud
with a single application of one of his
: preparations actually made deaf peo
' l>lc hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad
i vanced the theory that stomach trou
ble is the foundation of nine out of
i teu discuses and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
j stomach to working order and thus
get rid of such troubles as rheuma
tism and affections of the kidneys aud
liver, in about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
j borne out by the remarkable results
I obtained through the use of his prep
aration, aud now all Cincinnati is ap
parently mad over the young mau.
Ilis headquarters resemble a veri
table stampede. Thousands of people
j are visiting him each day, and the
j druggists are selling his medicines in
I enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac
j tices extensive charitable work and
lias already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor of the city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sigu
of a let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be a fad that will die out
as soon as Cooder leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he seems to have accom
plished a great deal for the sick of
this city with his preparations.
