SENSATION MAY Be
ANTICIPATED
LOCAL DRUGGIST HAS SECURED
CELEBRATED COOPER RENE.
olEs-sTRoNa STATEMENT BY
ST. LOUIS DRUGGIST.

VIII Astoria be affected with IN,
same astonishing demand for the new
preparations extolled by L. r, Coo.
per, as has visited st. Louis and the
leading cities of the Easte
The question is brought forth by
the fact that local druggist has
secured the agency for the much talk
ed Of preparations and that are pro-
ducing such Juror and about which
the newspapers Of the United States
have devoted columns,
In fact, discussion OF Cooper's
preparations and the unheard OF de-
mand for them wherever introduced
has appeared in greater part OF all
the leading dallies OF the country.
tn recently published statement OF
the manager OF the Wolf Wilson
Drug Co. OF ST. Louis. which appeared
in the Post Dispatch and Globe-Dem
ocrat OF that city, would seem to In
dicate that with no exception these
preparations produced the same re-
suits In all sections. regardless of
what pressure is brought to bear
against the medicines.
His statement is as follows:
This talk about 81, Louis going
mad over Mr.. Cooper Is absurd. II
his preparations did not do all that is
claimed for them, there would be no
demand. Mr.. Cooper has nothing
whatever to do with II.
"The idea that his personality has
to do with the sale OF his
and that the people Of this
city only imagine they have been
benefited is too far-fetched to be Sc
riously considered.
"one physician says the people have
4 disease called Cooper mania. This
may be clever. but 1t certainly is not
rue.
II have sold these preparations on !
rial ever since Mr.. Cooper made my /
tore his headquarters. Any one can
'eceive whatever they pay for the |
Preparations instantly II they are not
II the people are infatuated
With Mr.. Cooper. as is claimed. and
therefore, buy his medicines. why don't
hey come and ask for their money
Ifter they have taken them? Out OF
he thousands OF bottles we have sold
Utmost none have been returned.
"As a matter of fact. st. Louis is
10 exception in the immense demand
or these preparations. Before Mr..
cooper came to this city, I received
etters from leading druggists
the East, telling me that
wherever he goes his preparations are
old almost to the exclusion Of all
thers.
Every city in this country where
hese medicines have been introduced
as had the same experience az st.
outs. This ought to be proof posi-
I've that the people know what they
re about"
In the light Of this statement II viii
e interesting to see how these prep
rations are received In Astoria.

The Gillette Trial.

Herkimer, n. Y. Nov. l9.-The
story of the love tragedy of Grace Brown,
whose body was found in the waters OF
Big Moose Lake, was unfOlded today
when the taking of testimony was COM
menctd in the trial Of Chester +. Gil
lettee, charged with the girls murder.
Girls who worked in the Cortland shirt
factory, where Grace Brown first met
the defendant, told the jury that
Gillette never appeared in the house
with her. District Attorney Ward is
handling the case in narrative form,
starting from the first relationship OF
Gillette and Grace Brown and closing
with the death of the girl and the ar
rest Of Gillette.
Mrs. Fl. C. Carey, Of East Orange,
N. j., who with her husband had q
camp on the lake, will testify that the
evening of the tragedy she heard Grace
Browns death cries over the lake. II
was too dask to see, and Mrs Carey will
be unable to tell from whom the cries
came.
Gillette's nerve is fast weakening, and
when Frank 7. Brown, father OF his
alleged victim, was called to the stand
today, the first witness for the State, the
young mans nervousness was apparent
to everyone in the packed court room.
He sat biting his finger nails and cast
ing sidelong glances at the father of the
murdered girl without once looking
squarely at him.
The fathers testimony was compare
lively unimportant, serving simply to
show the close relations between Gillette
and Miss Brown.
The testimony of Mrs. Hawley, the
eldest sister of the dead girl, was along
the same lines. Several employees of the
shirt factory we're called to testify to
Grace Browns attachment for Gillette
and his mistreatmcnt OF her

Marine disaster.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. l9.-Between
forty and forly-fye persons are known to
have lost their lives as a result OF a col
lision between the Alaska steamer .Jeanie
and the rivel steamer Dix, at Alki Point.
Charles Dennison, mate of the Dix, is
charged with responsibility for the wreck
by Captain Lermoud and Captain P. H..
Mason, masters of the Dix and Jeanne.
Mate Dennison, who was at the wheel
temporarily in charge of the Dix and in
the capacity Of master, deliberately APP
preached from astern and tried to cross
the bow of the Jeanie.
The Jeanne is steamer Of over 900
tons, much larger than the passenger
laden river boat, and withstood the
shock with less damage The Jeanie cut
the Dix nearly in two, and she sank in-
stanlly. Most of the Dix's passengers
were residents of the mill town of Port
Blakely, nine miles across the sound
from Seattle.
OF seven women and giIls aboard the
Dix, only one, Alice Simpson, II years
old, escaped.
The Jeanie with her crew and 800
tons of Alaska ore consigned to the Ia
coma smelter, LETT Smith Cove and the
Dix set out from her berth ten minutes
later. The wbarves are about two miles
apart. Captain Mason says he saw the
Dix astern and on his port, but coming
up fast. She continued to increase her
speed as if 10 cross the Jeanie's bows.
Seeing this Captain Mason hailed the
Dix "What are you trying 10 do?
What do you mean ?" This was heard
by passengers on the Dix as well as
nearly every member Of the crew of the
Jeanne.
Seeing that the Dix kept up her effort
to cross the bow, Captain Mason signal.
led full speed asterr, but it was too late
The Jeanie struck the Dix on the star
board aide amidships, almost cutting her
in two. She c!uug for second only, bnt
long enough for eight or ten passengers
to leap to the Jeanne or cling to her side
until they could be hauled aboard.
The force of the collision swung the
Dix around onto the Jeanie's starboard
bow. The Dix rolled over TO port, right
ed, and listed slightly to starboard and
then went down stern first. Many of the
passengers jumped overheard, though
doubtless a score or more went down
with the boat, not having the slightest
chance for their lives. Captain Mason
lowered two life boats from the Jeanne
with the greatest dispatch.

Alarm In Rome.

Rome, Nov. l9. Rome is in a panic
today following the attempt to blow up
ST. Peters yesterday, the assassination
of Prof. Rossi at Naples and reported
bomb outrage at The Qairinal, the roysl
palace. It is believed gang Of the most
desperate anarchists ia the world is oper-
aling in the city.
There is no doubt that the bomb at
ST. Peters was intended for the Pope.
Added alarm due to the assassination
of Prof Rossi at Naples has been caused
by the assassin, who escaped, sending
word that he intends to kill another
professor and that Rossi's funeral will be
the occasion.
The famous church suffered little from
the explosion. Today it WAS almost inn
possible to discover any traces OF dam
age. Fire started in the scatfolding
erected over the tomb Of Clement Kill,
while repairs are being made to the roof
of the building, but it was extingnished
before serious damage had been done.
Today there ia the greatest activity in
police circles 10 prevent further ansFch.
istic outrages. At the Vatican special
arrangements have been made for the
protection of the Pope. Orders have
been given that the strictest discrimina-
ton must be exercised in admitting
visitors to the Vatican
