(Secon'l Floor.) 50c PREPARING TO ENTERTAIN CHICAGO VISITORS "WIIIi HAVE A BANQUET. of Representatives. It hangs on the north wall between the two sets of swinging doors. There Is now but one vacant place in the House, and that will be occupied by Moore's painting of Governor Geer. This picture Is still In Portland, and It is not known when it will be brought to the Capitol. Herchant Princes to Be Treated to a VIctt of the Columbia River by Steamer. The members of the Chicago Commer cial Club, who are to arrive in Portland over the Southern Pacific next Wednes day morning, are to be royally enter tained during their stay. Committees of the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and Commercial Club met at the rooms of -the latttr organization and for mulated plans forrecelving the guests and entertaining them In such a manner that they will retain pleasant recollections of Portland. As the stay of the vistors will be short only 15 hours, it was decided not to tire them by rushing them all over the country to see the sights, but permit them to rest after their arrival here at 7:45 A. M., until 10 o'clock, when they will be taken in carriages about the city and shown the various points of interest. A trip down the harbor on one of the com modious river steamers will, it Is thought, be a pleasant change for them after their train ride from San Francisco: and If possible, they will be taken on to the Cascades of the Columbia to "view the Imposing scenery and contemplate the great gateway of the Inland Empire. The time Is considered too short for a visit to either The Dalles or Astoria. In the evening, a banquet will be given at the Hotel Portland, at which 135 covers will be laid for the accommodation of the guests, who number 36, and the prominent citizens of Portland who will act as their entertainers. Governor Geer will be in vited to welcome the guests, on the part of the State, and Mayor Rowe Is ex pected to bo present, to tender them the freedom of the city. Other speakers will be in attendance, though it is not the desire of the entertainers to take up too much time in listening to speech making. Sub-committees were yesterday ap pointed by each of the three commer cial bodies, to formulate a definite plan Including the collection of subscriptions to the ?10-a-plate banquet. A. H. Devers and D. D. Oliphant were selected as the committee from Chamber of Commerce; John H. Hall and R. D. Inman, from the Commercial Club; and C. W. Miller and F. E. Beach from the Board of Trade. This joint committee will report progress to the committee of the whole tomorrow at 3 P. M. President Hahn, of the Chamber of Com merce was chosen chairman of the joint committee; E. C. Masten, secretary, and Edward Ehrman, treasurer. The expenses of the banquet will be paid by the sale of tickets- and the other expenses, such as carriage hire and sun dries, will be met by a fund contributed by the Chamber of Commerce, Commer cial Club and Board of Trade. 'Regrets were expressed b$' the gentle men In charge of the entertainment, that the stay of the visitors is -to be so short, as it would take two or three days to show them about Portland and vicinity including tnps on the "Willamette and Co lumbia, but the best that can be done will be done, with a will, and the Chlcagoans will hardly leave Portland without hav ing an opportuntiy to compare Its hospi tality and favored surroundings with those of the "Windy City. They are booked to leave for Puget Sonud on "Wed nesday night at 11:30. but Mr. Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, will probably ar range matters so that they can stay In Portland an hour or two longer, If neces sary. Men desiring tickets to the banquet are requested to call on either A. H. Devers or D. D. Oliphant. SCRIMMAGE IN JUNK SHOP. Some One Bit t4 Deputy Sheriff's Thumb Over a Dispute. As a result of a scrimmage in the junk shop of Leve & Adler, on Davis street, over attachment proceedings, some one bit Deputy Sheriff Malone's thumb, but ho "staved with it" until reinforcements came, and he succcded in closing the place. Dan Marx, a pawnbroker, first had the shop attached, on execution on a judgment held by him against Charlea Leva. Mrs. IJeve and her son-in-law claimed the property, and won out In a replevin suit, notwithstanding at the trial Adler went back on his mother-in-law and testified that he and Mr. Adler were partners. Marx then brought suit against Mrs. Adler for 530, which he al leged he had advanced to her for family expenses during the absence of her hus band from the city, ana again caused the place to be attached. The next step was for Adler to have himself installed as keeper, on the ground that the store could not be closed, and he, as an Inno cent party, made to suffer in consequence. He contended that he was a partner In the business, and owed Marx nothing. The lawyers for the opposing side on as certaining what had taken place remon strated with the Sheriff, asserting that a keeper could not be placed in possession of the shop with authority to sell goods, and Sheriff Frazier again decided to take charge. This is what caused a general skirmish among those present In the place, resulting In Deputy Malone coming out of the rumpus slightly jarred and dis figured. A third attachment has been put upon the shop by M. Barde, who has sued Mrs. Leve for $400, which he avers she borrowed from him at various times In small sums. The stock of junk Is valued at about J3000. The end of the difficulty Is a question for future legal determination. Headquarters for Tailor-Made Suits Hundreds of express packages have been opened in the last few days, containing the newest crea tions in tailormade suits, fancy costumes, silk Etons, novelty separate skirts, silk waists, robes and capes. New York, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, each have con' tributed their share, and the collection of garments is the superior to any ever shown in Portland. 2 Friday and Saturday Shopping Opportunities 1 1 ki IN PICTURE STORE Ji rare collection of iSS and Copper Articles From East India V?
