CINCINNATI
PEOPLE EXCITED.
The Great Cooper as he is Called Has
Stirred up That City to a
Remarkable Degree.

however, when he began giving dem
oIstrstions, as he calls them, in pub
lie, and daily met people afflicted
with deafness, and with single ap-
plication of one of his preparations
actually made deaf people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach
trouble is the foundation of nine out
of ten diseases and claimed to have
a preparation that would restore the
get rid of such troubles as rheuma-
tism and affections of the kidneys
and liver in about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration, and now all Cincinnati is APP
parently mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble veri-
table stampede. Thousands of peo-
pie are visiting him each day, and
the druggists are selling his medi-
cines in enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac-
tices extensive charitable work and
has already dispensed a small for
tune among the poor of the city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to esti-
mate. At pres ent there seems to be
no sign of a let-up. Reputable ply
sicians claim it to be fad that will
die out rs soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be- said that he seems to have accom-
plished great deal for the sick of
this city with his preparations.

Cincinnati, O., April IS


This city is at present in 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.. 4. 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 man about thirty years
of age and has acquired fortune
within the past two years by the sale
of some preparations of which he is
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that
preceded the young man here were
of the most startling nature. Many
of the leading dailies going so far as
to state that he had nightly cured in
public places deafness of years stand
ing with one of his preparations.
The physicians of the east contra
dicted this statement, claiming the
thing to be impossible, but the facts
seemed to bear out this statement
that Cooper actually did so.
In consequence people fiocked to
him by thousands, and his prepara-
tions sold like wild fire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in Cincinnati and un-
til Cooper actually reached this city
little attention was paid to them.
Hardly had the young man arrived,

establishment of good roads; having,
in several localities at their own vo-

Fully appreciating the urgent ne

and made an earnest address on the
problem of the boys, dwelling on the
lack of religious training in the average
boys life.
The moral attributes, according to Mr..
Scotts idea, are now inStilled in the
youthful mind, without the higher
thoughts of religion.
Henry Klamroth of Pasadena, a great
worker in the Juvenile court, spoke on
the work among the youthful offenders
and the good work being accomplished
for their benefit, and urged the neces-
sity of influence and money in carrying
on the good work.
Judge Wilbur was the next speaker
and gave one of his comprehensive and
humorous speeches on the line of the
juvenile work with which he is so
closely identified.
William r. George made one of his
pathetic addresses, describing scene
in the junior republic regarding a har-
dened criminal, yet young, who had
been reformed and had passed through
many hard struggles and tests in clear
ing himself from the stigma that had
been placed upon him.
The affair was a representative gath
ering of the citizens of Los Angeles
who have become prominently identified
with the movements for the betterment
of humanity.
Mrs. George, who was a guest of
honor with her husband, is very much
| interested in the work of the republic
and takes an active part in the work
! among the girls of the republic.

SCIENTISTS TO STUDY
THE ECLIPSE IN MlDAlR
Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 9.-There are
to be four eclipses during 1907 Two
will be solar-one total and one an
nular-and two lunar, of which both
will be partial. There will also be a
transit of Mercury next November The
total eclipse of the sun was on January
IA and was visible in eastern Europe, in
northeast Africa and in Asia, with the
exception of the eastern half of Siberia.
The annular eclipse, on July 10, will be
visible in South America and across the
ocean as far as the southwestern coast
of Africa. The transit of Mercury will
be visible in western Europe.
A remarkable feature of the measures
taken to secure the best astronomical
results from these eclipses is the ex-
tent to which balloons will be used. In
all, there are to be about forty stations
at which observations meteorological
and astronomical, will be taken in mid
air. For meteorological purposes cap
tive sounding balloons, equipped with
automatic registration apparatus, will
suffice. Eat certain favorable points,
however astronomers and meterolo-
| gists will themselves go up in balloon
! cars equipped as observatories.

FINISH TESTIMONY
IN WILSON TRIAL
ATTORNEYS HAVE WAR OF
WORDS
Rogers Objects to Mecomas' Sheer.
Witnesses Testify to Probable
insanity Of Slayer Of Wall
lace Belden

With the evidence in the case all i'm
and only rebuttal on the insanity phase
vet to be considered, the trial Of w. L.
Wilson, charged with the murder of
Wallace Belden, has settled down to
war Of words between the attorneys in
the case.
Yesterday morning the defense FIN
ished its case and the rebuttal came up
for consideration. Witness after wit
ness was called by the prosecution to
testify as to Wilson's insanity. Among
these was DR.. Fisher, an insanity eX-
pert, who was subjected a rigid exam
nation. Finally Attorney McComas for
the prosecution gave the physician a
hypothetical question embodying most
of the events of the Wilson case and
asked If under those circumstances a
man might be insane. DIR. Fisher re-
sponded that such conditions might
have the same effect upon man as the
excessive use of alcohol. Again Nc
Comas put a question to the physician
and in a flash Attorney Rogers entered
an objection and 1t was sustained. Nc
Comas dismissed the physician and
laughed in a suggestive manner.
Objects to Sheer
Yes, you have sneered many a man
into the penitentiary," shouted Rogers,
but you will not sneer this man
there"
McCcmas did not reply. On former
occasion Attorney Rogers and Attorney
Blair became mixed in what threat
ened to be serious trouble when Attor-
ney Blair for the prosecution interrupt
ed witnesses before they could finish
their answers.
LET her answer that question" de-
manded Rogers on one occasion.
"All right; all right; don't get ex-
cited. She can answer the question" 4"
Blair responded, and Rogers came back
with "You bet your life she can"
Both attorneys were subjected to a
reprimand from Judge Smith for their
conduct.
Again when it was thought that Ger
tain testimony was to be introduced
by the prosecution through the medium
of Officer Folsom. Attorney Rogers.
foreseeing such evidence was sure to
come, sent several witnesses to the
stand to get the evidence in his own
way, and the prosecution drew out.
Yesterday morning Attorney Rogers
took cognizance of the fact that almost
every man sent to the witness stand
by the prosecution to testify that Will
son was insane, was an officer or had
been one.
Mccormick Testifies
Finally Deputy District Attorney
Paul Mccormick was sent for. He had
interviewed Wilson just after the
shooting and was to testify that in his
opinion the man at that time was sane
| AS Mccormick took the stand Attor-
lney Rogers for the defense looked
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-10

toward the jury box and said to Attor-
ney McComas for the state:
ct will admit that all these officers
called for the state Will testify that
Wilson was sane"
The emphasis came on the word "of-
ficers," and Attorney McComas refused
to stipulate. remarking that the admis-
sion was too broad.
You are n deputy district attorney.
are you not?" was the only question
asked Mccormick by Rogers, and the
young attorney responded in the af-
frmative.
And you are n good one are you
not?' shouted McComas
ASK Rogers about that" said Nc
Cormick as he left the stand.
Before he reached the door Attorney
Rogers reached him and shook his hand
and the incident was closed.
