Thlelsen was appointed to ar range for the match. There are a num ber of fine players in both unions, and a rattling game is assured. The proceeds of course, will go to swell the carnival fund. D. D. Neers handsome design for an arch at4beentrance to the fair grounds, corner of Sixth and Morrison, was ac cepted. Thearch will be one of the finest on the street, and a glance at the design gives an idea of the magnificent scale on which everything In connection, with the fair has been planned. All committees will meet with the board of directors at headquarters Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The woman's auxiliary will meet with the board of directors Monday evening at 7.30. The headquarters of the board of direc tors have now been fitted up In hand some style, and a great amount of busi ness Is transacted there every day. Mer chants are coming in with a rush with applications for space, and It may soon be necessary to enlarge the district orig inally planned In order to accommodate them all. A great deal of money will be spent on the exhibits, which will be a. credit to the merchants who make them, to the carnival and to Portland, and will do much toward acquainting the thousands of visitors who come to Port land with the Importance of the city as a commercial center. "Voting on the queen Is another subject which is beginning to be of absorbing in terest Mr. Cordray, who Is at the head of the queen department, is arranging for an elaborate coronation ceremony, which will be as nearly as possible a duplication of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. There will be all the regal splendor of the Elizabethan age,' the only thing that will be modernized being the gowns of the queen herself and the maids of honor, which may be as modish and up-to-date as the wearers choose. The ceremony will take place where all can see It and will be one of the most brilliant spectacles of the whole carnival. The boxes to receive the ballots for the queen will soon be up In all the leading storos, and the ballots will be on sale. There is no doubt that It will be neces sary to empty the boxes early and often. as hundreds of young men will be eager to see their sweetheart chosen to reign over the carnival, and will buy ballots as long as their money lasts.

Suicide was the verdict of the Coro ner's jury Impaneled to investigate the cause of death of Louis Landorff, found yesterday morning In the Oregon Hotel. First and Davis streets, -with a bullet hole In the left temple. Landorff was a native of Schleswig-Holsteln, but for many years has been In this country. Ho was regarded by his acquaintances as -weak-minded, almost to the point of imbe cility, and drank heavily at times. When disposed to work he drew good wages, as he was classed as a good stonecutter. For a considerable time during the past year he was employed at Granite Point, In the quarry from which stone used in the construction of the new Custom House was taken. After that contract' expired' he came to Portland, but two months ago went back to Granite Point," as a quantity of stone for some other' buildings was to be got in shape. Wednesday he appeared at the Oregon Hotel and asked for a. room, which was given him, as he stopped at the same place previously, and was acquainted. Late in the evening he told the proprietor that he would give to him the tools used in his trade, without offering any reason for the gift. Some time after that two or three persons were sitting in front of the hotel, when a shot was heard, which they thought came from an ad joining house, where a. man and wife had been having trouble. Investigation there proved no shots had been fired In the house, and the proprietor of the hotel was at a loss to explain the report. When the old man doing chamberwork entered Londorffs room yesterday morn ing the matter was explained. The vic tim was lying on the low bed, cold and stiff, an ugly wound in the left temple and a revolver grasped in the left hand, the Index Anger still gripping the trigger. On the dead man was found a letter ad dressed to him, at Eureka P. O., Eagle Point. Hume's Cannery, Washington, and a sxmxll photograph of a rather good looklnr young woman, with full face and merry countenance. On the back of this photograph was the 'one word, "Isaac" There was a small stamp picture in his coat pocket, containing the likeness of two men. Little is known of Landorff, as he did not make many friends. His relatives are absolutely unknown by his acquaintances hero. 582d Friday Surprise Sale TODHY ONLY Pique JKs sYard 4000 yards of "1900 Warp Welt" Pique in white, light pink, light blue, cadet blue, navy blue, light and dark red, tan and brown, SO Inches wide, 9c 9 Yard See Display In Fifth St Window Closing: Out Sale of Tan Shoes Ladles', Misses and Children's Tan Shoes at the following' reduced prices LADIES' SHOES VIci Kid,.

T. PAUL RAILROAD MAH. General Passenger Agent ot Omaba Visits Portland. tie Two Boys Arrested. At the request of the Constable at Fara, Wash., Detectives Ford and Cordano yes terday afternoon took lnto custody two boys from that place, charged with steal ing $50 from the father of one of -the lads. The young culprits' names were Charles Koethe and Robert Weaver. Mr. Weav er, father of the latter, was the prose cutor, Both of the boys came to Portland on the steamer Mascot. No difficulty was had In locating them on the Informa tion furnished. After they were In cus tody, the Constable was notified, and came down late in the afternoon and took the prisoners away. No words of ours can foretell the benefit you would derive from Hood's Sarzapa-rllla. Thomas W. Teaadale, general passenger agent of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minne apolis & Omaha Railroad, with head quarters at St. Paul, is in the city pay ing a brief visit to W. H. Mead, the Portland agent of his line. It Is 13 years since Mr. Teasdale was In Portland, and he was much surprised to see how the city has grown, even in that unlucky number of years. He says railroad busi ness is jgrowlng all over the country, and looks for a large Increase In the next few years, especially in the We3t. The crop failures In Dakota he does not think will have a tendency to check im migration, as crpps fall there so seldom that a single off year will not be able to hurt the reputation of the country. When Mr. Teasdale -left Minnesota, there was not a great deal of political ex citement, but he opined that the pres ence of Roosevelt had without doubt set the pot to boiling. Every one Is Inter ested in the news from China, and there Is a general tendency among the peo ple of the Middle. West to look upon the situation as one of extreme gravity. Mr. Teasdale will leave today for San Francisco. He is making a tour of the Western passenger offices of his com pany.

McKay's attention was first attracted to Ragsdale when he was brought to thq county Jail and committed for Insanity, pending a medical examination. He was then quite violent. It appeared that he had been ailing, and was being treated, by Paul Cromwell. Dr. McKay saw tha man's condition was critical, and tried ta have him taken to one of the hospitals. Admission there was refused him, berf cause of the violent turn his mania had taken. Dr. McKay then had him taken; to tho County Hospital, where every, treatment possible under the clrcum-' stances was given. Ragsdale rapidly grew worse, and died yesterday morning-,. He has been a familiar figure here foe years, hauling wood or doing other tearrw Ing. THROUGH TO CHICAGO WITj3h OUT CHANGE. It's a pleasure to travel in flrst-clas' cars.
