With. the New York reception dls posed of and the declaration by Colonel Roosevelt that he needed rest, it was the opinion of members of the commit tee yesterday that thetrlp across the river would be without a stop and that the Colonel would not make a speech to the school children on the East Side, as had been hoped. ' However, the East Side Business Men's Club appoint ed a committee consisting of Dan Kel laher. G. T. Atchley, M. O. Collins. G. A. Blgelow and Rev. George B. Van Waters to consult with the general committee In an effort to persuade the visitor to make this address. Ths seating capacity of ths Armory Is estimated at 2S00 and it Is expected by the committee that the building will be crowded before Colonel Roosevelt appears there. The subject of his ad dress has not been made known and whether 'the address will include a reference to the "Oregon plan" is still a subject of speculation.'' It is said by those familiar with Colonel Roosevelt' plans that the subject will be "Civic Righteousness."

"These high power wires ought to go underground an these poles must bs taken out of the sidewalks," said Joseph Stipplo, in speaking yesterday of East Water street, which is about to be paved with stone blocks between Hawthorne avenue and East Morri son street. In Improving East Water street, to afford more space between the curbs for business the sidewalks have been narrowed to six feet on each side of the . street. Poles for tha electric wires have been set in the middle of the sidewalks. To this Mr. Supple ob jects and will contest the act In tha courts, if need be. "We asked the Portland Railway. Light Sc. Power Company to put its wires underground on East Water street," said Mr. Stipple, "but Mr. Jos selyn said he would remove the wires entirely before he would do that. But look at this narrow street filled up with poles every few feet. East Water street, which already carries a great traffic, which will Increase, ought to be made Bp feet wide. This could have been done; but It was not and now we have an alley for a great business street.

A brief telegram from Farson, Son & Co., Chicago bidders for $500,000 of Broadway bridge bonds, .was received by City Auditor Barbur yesterday morning, strongly Indicating that the firm will accept the Issue. If It does. the cash, close to half a' mlljion dol lars, will soon be at band for use In construction work on the big span. The Chicago firm said that Its at torneys were still engaged m inves tigat'ng the legal -status of the bond seue. .and that they had Indicated favorable decision. By the end of this week, the telegram read, it was prob able a definite telegram would be sent to Mr. Barbur. and Farson, Bon a Co. hone to be able to accept the bonds and send the money for them. "This looks very good," said Mr. Barbur. "It is the most encourag ing information yet received. It looks as though we will, soon be in posses sion of the cash for this issue." "The message is encouraging." said Mayor Simon. "I have hoped all along that Farson, Son & Co. would accept the bonds, and believe they will do so. If they do, it will provide the neces sary funds with which to push along the construction of the bridge. If we get the money, the work will be pushed as rapidly as is possible and the bridge will be completed at the earliest mo ment possible. - This Is one of 'tne large projects I am anxious to see finished, as It Is of great Importance to the people, especially of the North East Side." Farson, Son & Co. have called for data from time to time relative to the bonds, and the city has furnished it. Soma agent of obstructionists, who are opposed to the bridge, had tried to Influence the bond buyera against the issue by representing to them that the issue had been attacked in the courts and that the cases had not been . ad- I Judicated. The city was able to show, however, that this was not the fact, and apparently the Chicago firm is about to end the affair by accepting ths bonds. Courthouse Notes.

CHESTER FREEMAN Feels 20 Years Younger After Mr. H. C. Freeman had become an absolute physical wreck from years ( of hard work, he was completely re stored to health and strength by Duffy's Pure Malt Whis key, the grand old family medicine. He writes: "I honestly believe I owe my life to the use of Duff v 'a Pure Malt WTiiskey. After "31 years of hard work as book-keeper and expert accountant, I suffered a complete physical breakdown and was compelled to give up my work entirely. I tried numerous so-called remedies, but instead of improving, my condition grew steadily worse. A hard, dry cough and frequent night 6weats were gradually sap ping what little vitality I had left. A friend brought me a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and induced me to give it a trial. Almost immediately I began t feel a change for the better. I am working harder today than ever before and feel as I did twenty years ago. Nothing in the world but Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey brought about my present condition, and I am never without a bottle of this wonderful stimulant in my room. It is my only medicine." H. Chester Freeman, 224 South Clark St., Chicago, 111. Duffy's Pure Malt 'Whiskey is one of the greatest strength builders and tonic stimulants known to science. Its palatability and freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. Overworked men, delicate women and sickly children will find in it the health and strength-giving properties that are so necessary to them. It strengthens and sustains the system; is a promoter of health and longevity; makes the old feel young and keeps the young strong and vigorous. It is prescribed by physicians and recognized as a family medicine everywhere. You should have it in your home.
