SOME STATEMENTS
REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas
Give Reason for Their ueiiei in Him.
With a theory that human health
is dependent on the stomach and with
a medicine which he says proves this
theory, I T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
f. 'lo'vin? during the past year.
Cooper has Visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicine.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in im
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In
view of this, the following statements
from two of the great number of fol
lowers which he now has are of gen
eral interest1
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942
St Louis avenue, Chicago, has the
following to say on the subject of the
Cooper preparations: "For more than
ten years I was broken down in
health. I could not sleep and I was
very nervous. Gradually I began to
lose my memory, until I could not re
member things from one day to an
other. I had severe pains and cramps
in my body, and I would at times see
dark spots before my eyes. I was un
able to do any work whatever, as my
strength was failing. I had no appe
tite, nor could I take any medicine.
I had about given up hope of ever
The Callender Navigation Company
yesterday closed negotiations for the
sale of the steamer Wenona to Cap
tain W. E. Hull (her old master), John
Johnson and Oscar Oleson. She will
be placed back on her old Gray's
River run, with Captain Hull in com
mand. The price paid for the vessel
was $9,000.
bcinii well aaaiii when I read of Mr
Cooper's remedies. I decided to give
them a trial, and I began to feci bet
tcr at once. After taking the medi-
cino for two weeks I can say that 1
am a new woman. I can eat with en
joyment, the pains in my body have
left me, and I am stronger than I
have been for years.
"I cannot say endugh for Mr
CooDer's remedies. They are won
derful, for they have done everything
claimed for them m nw case.
Another statement by Mr. W. 11.
Stewart, 109 W. Madison street, Chi
caco. is as follows: "I have had stom
ach trouble for years, and any one
who is afflicted this way knows what
an awful distressed feeling it cause.
Many a time I have felt that I would
give most any price to be cured. It
was by accident that I heard of this
man Cooper's remedies. I immedi
atelv made uo my mind to buy a
treatment of him. I used it for about
two weeks, and it is impossible to tell
how much good it has done me. I
feel altogether different. 1 have more
life and energy fnan I have had for

stimulate and strengthen the whole
system. Tired feeling and weak con
dition of the stomach has entirely

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Prof. Whitney and Dr. Sinclair Differ
Upon Anthropological Ideas.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cat, Feb. 20.-
Claiming that men did not live in
California at the time of the three-
toed horse and that the claims of
arlv human life in California made
by Prof. J. D. Whitney, the eminent
anthropologist, are all wrong, Dr. W.
J. Sinclair has just issued a bulletin
from the University of California
that is expected to revolutionize mod
ern anthropological ideas. The bulle
tin covers investigations made by the
university department of anthropol
ogy and is issued under the title Re
cent Investigations Bearing on the
Question of the Occurrence of Ne-
cene Man in the Auriferous Gravels
of the Sierra Nevada."
Of the human bones reported from
the gravels the best known is the Cal
averas skull, at present in the Pea
bodv Museum at Harvard University.
It is this skull lhat forms a basis for
Professor Whitney's deduction that
Doctor Sinclair attacks.
His attack is based upon a critical
examination of the auriferous gravels
undertaken by the university depart
ment of anthropology some years ago
and just completed.

IN FRISCO BAY
GREATEST XrRAY OF BATTLE,
SHIPS THE WORLD HAS EVER
SEEN WILL GATHER THERE
THIS SUMMER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-The
great fleet of battleships, cruisers and
torpodo boats coming from the At
lantic is on the long leg of its journey,
having rounded the horn on its way
up the Pacific Coast, with San Fran
cisco as its objective point. While
leisurely proceeding along its way,
stopping to accept the hospitality of
South American nations, the fleet is
giving time to the people of San Fran
cisco for the preparations for one of
the greatest celebrations ever seen
in this country.
To those unaccustomed to the pre
sence of large fleet of war vessels
the full significance of the spectacle
that will be presented in San Fran
cisco's harbor during the visit of this
fleet is not understood. There has
never before been anything just like
this spectacle will be. There have
been manv assemblages of warships,
at various times of the world's hist
ory, but it may be said of the coming
Catherine in San Francisco Bay that
never has there been one that will
carry so much of the spectacular as
this.
On the Eastern coast there is no
opportunity, such as is offered on
this bay, to have the vessels so con
gregated as. to have them all in array
under the eyes of the spectators at
one time. At New York,v with the
vessels of aj immense naval parade
strung out over many nuics n
impossible to see but a few at a time.
At Hampton Roads, at the time of the
deoarture of the fleet, the vista was
one of ocean, which dwarfed the ves
sels and made the spectacle appear
small. Even at that time there were
not so many vessels present as will
be in San Francisco harbor when the
fleet comes.
In San Francisco Bay there is an
appearance of an amphitheater, and
vast multitudes of sight-seers can
congregate on the surrounding hills
of the City and look down upon such
a concourse of ships as was never
before gathered together in all times.
It will be the sight of a life time, and
it is probable that never again will
those now living have a similar op
portunity to gaze upon such a scene.
These vessels are the highest type in
existence, and the congregated neet
will represent the flowers of the sec
ond navy of the world, and in addit
ion to the vessels which formed the
parade of the Atlantic fleet at Hamp
ton Road, will have the combined
Pacific fleet as well forming such an
aggregation as even the people of the
well protected Atlantic Coast have
never seen.
This assemblage of warships will

be an object lesson in another sense.
It will give to visitors some adequate
idea of the immensity of the Bay of
San Francisco, for this great fleet will
swing at anchor with not the slight
est hindrance to the merchant marine
which will assemble from all quarters
of the globe to carry on the business !

San Francisco is busily engaged in
preparing to receive and care for, not
only the twenty-four thousand men
and officers of the Fleet, but of those
other thousands of visitors who will
flock to the City to see the wondrous
display, and participate in the week
of festivities which are being arrang
ed. San Francisco is rapidly resum
ing its old conditions, and the hun
dreds of millions of dollars which have
been spent in rehabilitation since the
fire have made a wonderful change in
the past few months. This rehab
ilitation will also be one of the sights
offered to those who visit the City to
assist in welcoming the fleet.
