Yoakum and Edwin Il.wley Isv expected soon MUSIC IS WELL RECEIVED Concert at Women of "Woodcraft Hall Is Appreciated. Th Klingenberg-Bettman chamber music trio gave Its opening concert last night at the Women of "Woodcraft hall, before an audience that tested the seat ing capacity of the hall. The trio played so skillfully and with, such attention to the attractive programme that it scored an instantaneous success. The programme belonged to both old and new music, both schools receiving attention. The most ambitious number given was the Beethoven trio in B-flat, op. 97, a composition dating from 1770 1827, and in four gorgeous movements allegro moderato, scherzo-allegro, an dante cantabile, and allegro moderato. All the motifs received artistic finish, the most especially pleasing being the slow movement with its unsurpassed song themes. The two Greig themes and the Brahms number were splendid. The Liszt and Saint-Saens selections were splendidly rendered, the general, excellent ensemble effect suggesting more power than that of a trio of piai.o. violin and 'cello, played respectively by Alf Klingenberg, Henry L. Bettman and Ferdinand Konrad. The Smetana trio in G-minor is a novelty here. All the numbers were received with i EX - GOVERNOR OF PHILIP- i PINES TO BE MADE FED- ERAL JUDGE. f General Luke E.

FEARS NAUGHT DRIVES THROUGH CLEVELAND UNDAUNTED BY PLOTTERS. Police Guard His Home Because of Kumored Murder Scheme, but He's Xot Timid. CLEVELAND, Nov. 30. Without guard, John D. Rockefeller and his party today drove from his Forest Hill home to the railway station and took, a train for New York. Following the story "of the plot to assassinate Mr. Rockefeller, told to the police today by Sawyer Smith, of Mi nerva, O.. the Cleveland police stand ready to furnish an escort if demanded by Mr. Rockefeller. Following his Cus tom In Cleveland, however, the aged millionaire alighted at the railway sta tion, mingled with the crowd that had gathered and seemed to have no anxiety as to his safety. The only unusual move he made was to direct his chauf feur to take a civ. uitous route to the station. The story told by Smith is that, when in Alliance. O., Sunday niit, he beard two men discussing a plan to kill the oil magnate. . - "We might as well get our money for killing old John D.," one of them said, according to Smith, "for we will get what is coming to us whether we kill or kidnap him. Bill and the other fel low have plenty of money and are will ing to pay well for putting him out of the way.' WEALTHY WIDOW WEDS GRKAT SECRECY MAINTAINED; CEREMONY AT VANCOUVER. Mrs. E. S.

I feiffliMflllii I THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, V. t " K A - - i OREGON DRY 1910, MINISTERS' CRY Four Address Big Abstinence Rally Urging Campaign to Down Saloons. FIGHT BLINDLY, IS ADVICE Rev. J. W. McDougall, Drs. Foulkes, Rader and Brougher Stir Assem bly Costly Fight Predicted. United Crusade Is Sought. "Oregon Dry in 1910" was the slogan in a big: temperance rally held last night at the Taylor-street Methodist Kplscopal Church in connection with the Portland District Methodist Preach ers' meeting, convening in a three days' session. , Addresses were given by Rev. J. W. McDougall. Dr. Foulkes, Dr. Rader and Dr. Brougher. It ; was the sentiment of all the speakers that in spite of great difficulties to be overcome, Ore gon is bound to go dry if people will but unite in the fight against the liquor traffic. Dr. Foulkes subject was "The Cost of Victory." It .was his contention that people must not go into the temper ance fight blindly and that they must expect to endure many things, unpleas ant and humiliating. In part. Dr. Foulkes said: Costly 4?'Jght Ahead. "The warfare against the liquor traf fic will cost us money, service, time and effort. We will have the bitter ill-will of the liquor interests and un pleasant misunderstandings with friends. The business man standing for temperance will be intimidated, and his business will be harmed. In putting the dagger into the heart of the liquor traffic we must count the cost beforehand. Some of us will have to suffer, but, thank. God, the cause is worth the 'price." 1 His subject, "The Indifferent Voter," Dr. Rader urged that each person in terested in seeing the state go dry should assume his share of the responT sibility and not leave it all to a few individuals. Said Dr. Rader: "We have too many of the kind of people who think it is none of their business what somebody else floes in assisting or fighting the liquor busi ness. Every individual is responsible for what goes on in the matter of con trol of the rum traffic, but so many of us try to shift responsibility. W5 ally ourselves with the different political parties and do not think for our selves. "If this state does not go dry we need not blame the newspapers, out just ourselves. There are so many in different voters who go whichever way the string happens to pull. "Politicians are generally weak and do what the people compel them to do. Taft, the man who is all one genial smile, and sometimes, I think, nothing else, might for all I know be a ' saloonkeeper if he had a chance." Dr. Brougher delivered a stirring ad dress on "How to Awaken Interest inthe Cause , . Dr. Brougher Stirring. "We must educate and concentrate," said Dr. Brougher. "We hear a great many criticisms of the language used by Sam Jones and Billy Sunday, but I wish to say right here that I do not think any language vulgar enough to use against the liquor traffic. "People in general are influenced by what they read in the daily papers, and we must meet all the arguments, present ed against the temperance cause by this free press. The press has considerable to say about narrow-minded preachers. I wish to ask, is that man narrow-minded who tries to check the traffic in liquor for the sake of countless suffering wives and children? "I would like to see the preacher all Great Clothing Sale!

Dr. McDougall. in speaking on "Bene fits of State Prohibition," said the state will be benefited from the four stand points, financial, physical, moral and home. In yesterday morning's session, in a general discussion following a paper by Rev. L. F. Smith on "Our Pro Rata Claims," it was almost the unanimous opinion that all preachers and others in the church having conference claims should stand upon the same footing, so that if one fails to receive his portion others shall fail in proportion Dr. J. H. Cudlipp, who spoke on "Lit tle Things Which Weaken a Minister's Ijfe," said the minister should spend the greater portion of each day In study. TODAY IS DAY FOR DIDS PLACE OF JEFF-JOHXSON FlGHT TO BE CHOSEN. San Francisco Considered to Have Good Chance of Getting Big Mill. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. "Fight promot ers," with bids in their pockets aggregat ing more than $1,000,000, will go to Hobo ken, N. J., tomorrow, where bids are to be opened at 11 o'clock for the world's championship heavyweight prize fight be tween James J. Jeffries, retired and un defeated champion, and Jack Johnson, negro title-holder. Thirty-five bids have been received, al though not all are taken seriously some by mail, some by wire, some delivered in person- They range in amount from J150, 000, credited to Billy Garon, of St. Louis, to $50,000. an amount promised by six promoters. But gossip in sporting circles tonight sifts this long list down to five probable contenders Eddie Graney, James Cof froth and Jack Gleason, all of San Fran cisco: Tom McCarey, of Los Angeles, and Tex Rlckard, . of Nevada. McCarey has offered $75,000 for the fight, it is understood, while the others men tioned, in their own words, "are bring ing a wagonload of coin," ready to out bid everybody else or, at least, to offer .the best all-around inducements. They are here in person and are in earnest. Judging from the line-up almost surely California, and more probably San Fran cisco, will get the bout, but just what promoter will win is to be settled. Both Jeffries and Johnson will shape up In the same ring at Madison Square Gar den tomorrow night, when the public will have an opportunity to compare them. JefT will box with San Berger, while Johnson will exhibit his speed and clever ness against two of his sparring partners. Fight Challenge Xot Illegal. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. Jack Johnson, the pugilist, has again come out un scathed from an encounter with the po lice. Magistrate Dooley, of Brooklyn, came to his rescue when Johnson was arraigned today following his arrest charged . with violating the " statutes In "issuing a challenge" for a fight. The so-called challenge was delivered in a little speech Johnson made from the stage of a vaudeville house where he was appearing and in which he said he was willing to meet San Langford or any other aspirant for pugilistic honors on 30 days' notice. ' "Discharged," said Mag istrate Dooley. "There is no violation here, and the police were wrong.' 80-R00M HOSTELRY BOUGHT Adolph Wlldman Secures Xorth Portland Hotel for $25,000.

When The Stomach Stops Working Properly, Because There Is Wind In It, Use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to Set It Going Again. A Trial Box Tree. THE DOCTORS call it flatulency;- but unprofessional folks know it. as "wind on the stomaoh," and a mo'st distress ing state of things it is. It is a serious condition of thi great motor organ. Always annoying and painful in the extreme, at times often leading to bad and fatal results. The stomach em barrassed and hampered with wind, cannot take care of .its food properly and indigestion follows, and this has a train too appalling to enumerate. The entire system is implicated made an active or passive factor In this trouble and life soon becomes a questionable boon. ALL THIS IS EXPLAINED in doctor books; how undigested food causes gasses by fermentation and fomenta tion in which process some essential fluids are destroyed burnt up wasted by chemical action, followed by defec tive nutrition and the distribution through the alimentary tract oi chemically wrong elements and as a consequence the stom ach and entire system is starved. Plenty of food, you see, but spoilt in preparation and worse than worthless. A DERANGED STOMACH is the epi tome of evil; nothing too bad to ema nate from it. but the gas it generates is probably its worst primary effect and the only way to do away with this is to remove the cause. STUART'S DYSPEP SIA TABLETS go to the root of this trouble. They attack the gas-making foods and render them harmless. Flatu lency or wind on the stomach simply can not exist where these powerful and wonder-working little tablets are in evidence. THEY WERE MADE for this very pur pose to attack gas-making foods and con vert them Into proper nutriment. This is their province and office. A whole book could be written about them and then not all told that might be told with profit to sufferers from this painful disease, dys pepsia. It wold mention the years of patient and expensive experiment in effort to arrive at this result of failures in numerable and at last success. It would make mention of the different stomach correctives' that enter into this tablet and make it faithfully represent all. STUART S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS are not alone intended for the sick, but well folks as well; for the person who craves hearty, foods and wants to eat heartily and run no risk of bad effects, they act like a charm and make eating and diges tion a delight and pleasure. They keep the stomach active and energetic and able and willing to do extra work without spe cial labor or effort. Don't forget this. Well people are often neglected, but the STUART DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have them in mind.
