Cooper's new preparations proves the many'reports of their marvelous curative properties The demand for Cooper'a New Discovery and Quick Relief, which hare effected uch remarkable curea of stomach trouble, rheumatism, deafness and catarrh, has become enormous. Newspapers in every city have commented upon the curative powers and on the un precedented demand of these remedies. Thousands of letters come every day to Mr. Cooper describing acme of the most remarkable recoveries from the ravages of disease that have been brought to the attention of the public in recent years. A most remarkable letter wss recently received from Mr. II.

Cooper's New Discovery acts directly on the stomach and diges tive organs. It increases the gastric juices, which are an all-important factor in the proper digestion of food. Cooper's New Discovery and Cooper's Quick Relief are the preparations with which L. T. Cooper effected his re markable cures in St. Lonis, New Orleans and other large cities, and results have amply proven that they can be used in the home with as much success as though ad ministered personally by Mr. Cooper or his physicians.

IN THE CITY THEATERS. The great character of Sherlock Holmes in the "Sign of the Four," the best known of all fiction detectives, has been ably introduced to the read ing putftic of the world by Conan Doyle, that many there are who be lieve that Sherlock Holmes is a real flesh and blood detective, carries even greater interest In the stage version than In the book. When produced by such artists as Mr. Theodore Lorch, supported by a large company of ca pable people such as Mr. Lorch car ries with him, Sherlock Holmes takes on an added Interest and the audience entirely forgets that it is a play it is witnessing and becomes entirely absorbed in the interesting and thrill ing story so cleverly unfolded before it. Mr. Lorch carries his own special scenery and mechanical effects are presented that are the marvel of stage history. Never was the realistic so nearly approached in a stage produc tion as in Sherlock Holmes as pre- Do You Realize That you need shoes for the rainy season that has now made Its ap pearance.

Aside from Mr. Lorch there are many other well known and capable artists In the cast, Including Mr. Francis J. Long, Mr. Percy Morris, Mr. George L. Graves, Mr. E. F. Hawkins. Mr. E J. Earle, Miss Lota Mareky, .Miss Ce cil Fay and Miss Camllle Lewis. The play Is presented in four thrilling acts Act I shows the studio of Sherlock Holmes in his London lodgings where the famous Holmes Is Introduced and the first thread of the difficult cane on which he is working presents It self. Act II finds him at Pendicher ry Lodge and "The Sign of the Four," which Is the subtitle of the book and play. Act HI is In two absorbing scenes, changing from Broad street, London to Smith's boathouse. Then In Act IV the audience Is carried back to Pendicherry Lodge and the sensa tional climax of the play that both entertains and instructs, and seen once always Invites a second visit. Mr. Lorch and his notable company will present the great character of Sherlock Holmes at the Astoria thea ter on the evening of Thursday next. The advance sale of seats promises to be the heaviest of any demand that has been made by the theater going people of Astoria. TO THE PUBLIC. Supplementing the communication of Mr. Gevurtz in Sunday's issue of this paper, I hasten to further in form the public upon the subject of the differences resulting In the ap pearance of my company at the As toria instead of the Star theater. The Mack Swain Theater Company has at different times of the year from one to four companies playing at points between the Pacific coast and the Missouri river. Contracts signed for their appear ance stipulate the appearance of a certain! company, but never certain people. The contract held by Mr. Gevurtz is for the Theater nompany, a well known and successful stock aggrega tion and makes no mention of either my wife nor my self. After 65 weeks of almost continuous playing my wife and self were en route to Astoria, af ter a pleasure outing, when Mr. Ge vurtz demanded from my stage man ager a change In the basis of contract between us. The fact that I personally nnd ex clusively manage this particular com pany precluded the possibility of this change being made during my ub sence. Mr. Gevurtz then declared that the company could not appear at his theater that night and caused that fact to obtain widespread notoriety throughout this city, to the Imme diate detriment of my Interests, and by his action Jeopardized the salary of the eighteen people In my com pany who draw no salary for non playing nights. At a late hour he concluded to keep the house open. On my return here Friday an effort being made to coerce me into a less profitable con tract, I simply took such action as would preclude patrons of my com pany being either disappointed or disgusted by the house management during my absence from the city, and arranged to transfer mv company to the more vnmodlou3 and comfortable Astoria Theater. In addressing the public I nm prompted simply by th- obvious Intention of Mr. Gevurtz to rush Into print to contest these ques tions. My efforts are to the entertainment of the public nnd once they eni'T the theater "the play's the thing," not he edifice In which it Is presented. That Mr Gevurtz really took advan- age of my absence Is Immaterial, that my patrons were disappointed Is of monumental Importance and the ieril'-ctlon of one management has led me to take steps that will insure the atrons of any and all of my enter- rises any repetition of the present unpleasantness. Yours for pure enter tainment, MACK SWAI.V. The Star Theater was crowded last night and Judging by the applause given the different numbers, the per formance was thoroughly appreciated. The Nellie Andrews Opera company made a decided hit In the Bohemian Girl, and their presentation of the opera was equal to any ever present- d. Al Hajrrls, said to be the great est monologue artist on the stage, fur- ished amusement and entertainment for the audience. O'Brien ond West, the comedians and dancers, were ap preciated and they are certainly a good team. The Illustrated song, "The Stars and Stripes and You," was well rendered. The comedy moving pic tures were above the average and kept the audience In good humor. Manager Gevurtz has certainly made a hit In securing this excellent company from the Grand theater In Portland. The company will play again tonight and every night this week. They are well worth seeing. SUNDAY TRAVEL TO PORTLAND Increases and $2.50 Round Trip Rate ; via A. A C. R. R. is Popular.

One of the largest and most enthus iastic houses ever In the new As toria theater greeted the Swain com pany last evening In their initial pro duction of "When Women Love," a play of sterling dramatic merit re plete with striking climaxes and thrilling situations, whoso key note breathed of a heart Interest that left not a dry eye among the auditors of Its final scenes. As "Dolores," Miss Swain was given a well-deserved ova tion only1 to be computed tlo thfit extended to Mack Swain, whose clev er Interpretation of the part of "Den nis" still further established him as the premier fun maker of the current theatrical season. Miss Swain pre sented ono of the most finished exam ples of emotional characterizations ever presented In this city, lending to the part nn artistic' conception only possible to a most versatile nctress. Mr. Layne was a most acceptable "Cantaln Hale" and Miss D'Arva ns "Violet Summers" proved herself a mistress of characterization. Mr. Tierrell as "Bolton" gave a most scholarly Interpretation of a most dif ficult part. Mr. Frank as "Gordon" and Miss Jordan ns "Krnle were delightful in two widely diverging roles.
