St. Louis, Jan. 20.—William Stroth
er, the negro bathhouse attendant,
has confessed that he murdered his
employer, A. Dean Cooper, Wednes
day night. lie said he committed the
deed in drunken passion.
The confession was made to Chief
of Police Desmond, Saturday morn
ing, after two hours’ questioning.
It became evident shortly after
eight o’clock, when the chief renewed
his inquisition, begun Friday morn
ing, that Strother was upon 1he point
of breaking down.
At ten o’clock, the. hour for the
coroner’s inquest to open, Strother
made the final admission which com
pletes the chain and shows him to be
the murderer.
lie said that he took the hammer
in one hand, lifted it high in the air
and brought it down on the head of
Mr. Cooper, who was asleep on the
cot.
“L don’t know why I done it,” said
Strother. “I guess I must have been
drunk and mad.”
The confession was made to Chiefs
Kiely and Desmond and a police
stenographer. The stenographer
was ordered to transcribe tbe com
plete cross-examination. Strother
said he would sign the record.
Later Chief Desmond said lie would
immediately send Strother to the
coroner’s office. Strother had said
he would repeat his confession to the
coroner’s jury.
Dr. Boogher, assigned by the cor
oner to conduct the inquest, when
informed of Strother’s confession,
stated that the inquest would pro
ceed as originally planned and that
Strother’s confession would be heard
at tlie end of the inquiry.

Butte, Mont., .Tan. 20.— V conserva
tive estimate of ihe number of horses
shipped from Montana last year
places the number at 100,000. The
British call for mounts for South Af
rica has resulted in thousands of
head of stock leaving- the state. The
result is that there are now fewer
horses in this state than ever be
fore, indeed, there are no large bauds,
and unless there is a movement of
horses to Montana from the south
there is certain to be a horse famine
in this state next year. Before the
bottom fell out of the horse market
a cayuse could be seen on every hill.
To-day it is possible to drive for 50
miles across the country without see

THE OLDEST MAH IN AMERICA
Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of
Many Winters by Using Pe-ru-na.
Mr. Brock’s
Age is 114
Years.
MR. ISAAC BROCK, BORN IN BUNCOMBE CO., N. C., MARCH 1, 17SS.
His age is Hi years, vouched for by authentic record. He says: “I at
tribute my extreme old age to fhe use of Pe-ru-na. ”
Born before United States was
formed.
Saw 22 Presidents elected.
Pe-ru-na lias protected him
from all sudden changes.
Veteran of four wars.
Shod a horse when 99 yearn
old.
Always conquered the grip
w ith Pe-ru-na.
Witness in a land suit at age (
of HO years. c
Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest
remedy of the age for catarrhal
diseases. )
ISAAC BKOCK. a citizen of McLen
nan county, Texas, has lived for
114 years. For many years he re
sided at Bosque Falls, eighteen miles
west of Waco, but now lives with his
son-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas.
A short time ago, by request. Uncle
Tsaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held a stick cut
from the grave of (leneral Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by
him ever since. Mr. Brock is a digni
fied old gentleman, showing few signs
of decrepitude. IIis family 1.1 ule is
still preserved, and it shows that the
date of his birth was written 114 years
ago.
Surely a few words from this remark
able old gentleman, who has had 114
years of experience to draw from,
would be interesting as well as profit
able. A lengthy biographical sketch is
given of this remarkable old man in the
Waco Times-Herald. December 4. 1S9S.
A still more pretentious biography of
this, the oldest living man, illustrated
with a double column portrait, was giv
en tlie readers of the Dallas Morning
News, dated December 11.1 S!)8. and also
the Chicago Times-Herald of same
date. This centenarian is an ardent
friend of Peruna, having used it many
years.
In speaking of his good healtli and
extreme old age, Mr. ltroek says:
“After a man has lived in the world
as longas T have, he ought to have found
out a great many things by experience.
1 think 1 have done so.
“One of the things / have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper remedy for ailments that j
are due directly to the effects of
the climate. For 114 years I have
withstood the changeable climate
of the United States.
“1 have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the lit
tle affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and tempera
ture. During my long life 1 have known
a great many remedies for coughs,
colds and diarrhoea.
“I had always supposed these affec
tions to be different diseases. For the
last ten or fifteen years I have been
reading Dr. Hartman's writings. I have
learutd much from his books, one thing
in particular: that these affections
are the same and that they are proper
ly called catarrh.
“/Is for Dr. Hartman’s remedy,
Pe-ru-na, l have found it to be the
best, if not the only, reliable rem
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
“It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil
effects of sudden changes; it keeps me
in good appetite; it gives me strength;
i‘. keeps my blood in good circulation.
I have come to rely upon it almost en
tirely for the many little things for
which I need medicine.
“I believe it to be valuable to old
people, although I have no doubt it is
just as good for the young, i should be
glad if my sincere testimony should
become the means of others using this
remedy, because I believe it to be the
greatest remedy of this age for da
ta rrnal diseases.
“When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
“ l had several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Pe-ru-na was a remedy for
this disease. When / heard that
ia grippe was epidemic catarrh, I
tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and
found it to be just the thing.
“It has saved me several times from
a siege of the grip. I feel perfectly
safe from this terrible malady so long
as I have Peruna at hand. I hope that
Dr. Hartman may live to be as old as I
am, to continue the good work of
teaching people the value ofhiagreat
remedy, Peruna.
