8 TO MEET ONTHE GRID Muitnomahand Oregon Elev ens Eager for the Fray. MEN CONFIDENT, CHANCES EVEN Collegians and Athletic Club Players Will Struggle for Championship Football Honors on Thanks giving Day. The main topio of conversation in local sporting circles is the great Thanksgiving football game between Multnomah and the University of Oregon. A singular fact about the contesting teams Is that neither has been" scored against this year, and that, while the collegians have played several tie games, they have won just as many victories as Multnomah. Oregon has defeated Whitman College, G to 0; the Oregon Medics, 11 to 0; Pacific University. 70 to 0. and has played one scoreless game with the Oregon Agricultural College, and two with Albany College. Multnomah de feated Whitman, 21 to 0; scalped Chema twa's braves, 17 to 0, and sent the Univer sity of Washington gladiators to a 7-to-0 defeat. From a comparison of the two scores against Whitman, it would seem that the clubmen might have an easy thing against the 'varsity, but since the game with the Sons of Marcus, the Ore gon men have shown a gradual Improve ment, until they are the equal, if not the superior, of any collegiate aggregation In the Northwest The 70-to-0 score against Pacific shows that Eugene is in the field with a scoring team, and the splendid de fense against the herculean charges of "Hez" Brown, the Whitman fullback, tes tifies the strength the 'varsity's defense play. The Oregon men will come to Portland determined to make the best game of the year for the crack Multno mah eleven, and unprejudiced football cranks believe that their determination will be satisfied. Multnomah has one of the best elevens on the Pacific Coast but every ounce of strength and nerve will be required to wrest victory from the collegians. The general impression around the Multno mah Club is that the home team will win by a small score, and some of the enthus iastic ones are willing to back their opin ion with coin. The players themselves ap preciate the fact that Eugene has a crack team this year, but believe that the winged "M" will triumph if all goes well. "Multnomah luck" has figured prominently In the past and may do so tomorrow, although Captain Kirkley and his men hope to defeat Oregon by straight, hard football. In McMillan, Ker rigan. Pratt, Bishop, Stott and Kirkley Multnomah has a number of first-class football men, while In Cook the club has the crack punter of the Northwest If a kicking game is resorted to, local enthus iasts believe that Cook will " outpunt Payne and Templeton, both of whom are known to be kickers of more than aver age ability. In weight age, experience and dogged determination to win, the teams appear to be evenly matched, but it Is conceded that Multnomah has the better field captain. George McMillan has piloted the M- A. A. C. players through to many a victory, and unbiased critics believe him to be the best field captain on the Pacific 'Coast. The Oregon team, accompanied by Its coaches, managers and a carload of root ers, will arrive from Eugene at 7 o'clock this evening. The visitors will be met at. the Union Depot by a large crowd of stu dents from the University of Oregon Med ical College. -The game will be called promptly at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow after noon. R. S. Fisher. Stanford, 1902. and Reno Hutchinson, University of Califor nia, 1900, will alternate as referee and um-t plre. Captalnsj Watts and Kirkley -will se lect the minor officials this evening. WHITMAN STUDENTS WILL BATHE). Sons of Marcus Resolve to Drown Their Sorrow. WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla, Nov. 25. (Special.) Whitman has deter mined to win the football game with the University of Idaho next Thursday or every member of her team will take a plunge In the new pond by Billings Hall. The team have solemnly agreed that It they are defeated each and every man on the team will come over after the game and with all his toggery on will Jump in and drown his sorrow beneath the Icy waters of the little lake. But Whitman believes that she will win this last game. It will be the most interest ing game of the season, for Moscow will send a fine team down, while the de fenders of the blue and gold were never in better condition. They will be han dicapped, however, by the loss of "Hez" Brown, the wonderful fullback who has made such a name for himself this sea son. On account of injuries received in the Athenaeum-Phrenakosmian game a week ago Saturday he will not be able to play. Wiley Lasater, who will take his place on the offensive work, is a fierce man, however, at hitting an opponent's line. Another good man Whitman may lose Is Bay B. Ayers, the 197-pound guard, His health Is such that It Is more than likely he will be- out of the Thanksgiving game. Captain Chittenden has made up his conditions and will lead his team himself. The feeling over the game is that of determination. If Whitman does not win she will die trying. Certain it is that the people of Walla Walla will have the chance of seeing the greatest game of the year on Thanksgiving. The game will be called at 1 o clock sharp. TO LIXE UP TODAY. Portland Academy Eleven "Will Con test With B. S. A. Rivals.

The scrub teams of Portland Academy and Hill Military Academy lined up against each other yesterday afternoon on Multnomah Field, and after a fast and furious game Hill was decided winner by a score of 5 to 0. The star attrac tion for Hill was a tall player named Long, who was 6 feet 6 inches high, and made his yardago every time he fell down. Toward the end of the performance the officials wandered off, and, as it was too dark to continue play, the game was called with Hill the winner. Dentals to Play in The Dalles. The Dental College team, which Is one of the strongest football organizations In the local field, will go to The Dalles tomorrow and line up against The Dalles football eleven.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25. Favorites fared badly at Ingleside today, only two of them getting the decision. The sport was excellent and some close finishes were witnessed. Artvls displayed great gameness when he took the fourth event from Beau Ormonde and Kenllworth in a drive. The last named was a pronounced favorite.

Aristocratic Russian Prisoners. London Express. A Vienna paper states that few people havo any Idea of the large number of men and women of noble birth undergoing penal servitude on the continent It estimates that Russian prisons alone contain 12,000 aristocrats, while there are several thousand noblemen In the penal establishments of Italy. Two Dukes of Notarbartolo are, for instance, at present undergoing penal servitude for life In the Italian prison of La Maddalena for the brutal murder of a young officer whom they had swindled at card playing and who had threatened to denounce them as card sharpers. Among the convicts in a Belgian prison are Prince Charles de Looz-Coewarem. who committed a number of gigantic frauds and one crime of violence, and the Mar quis of Varela, for the murder of his -own mother. In France there are several hundred titled aristocrats In prison, and though no statistics are available regarding Austria and Germany the same state of things Is said to exist there also.

FOR GRANGE INSTITUTE CHAIRMAN WELCH WILL CALL A MEETTXG OF COMMITTEE. Arrangements Depend Upon Divis ion of Time "With the State Horticultural 'Society. H. C. Welch, chairman of tho com mittee of arrangements for the Grange Institute, which will be held in Portland about the middle of January, said yes terday he will call a meeting as soon as the conference committee has arranged with the State Horticultural Society for division of time at the public meeting. This will probably be soon. The object is to hold the Grange Institute and tho Horticultural convention the same week, so that those who attend the institute may get the benefit of the convention, and the reverse. Three or four days will probably be consumed In both events. W. K. Newell, who represented the Hor ticultural Society at the meeting of tho Grange committees last Wednesday, is sure that a division of the time can be SPEEDY BACKS ON Templeton, Right Half. Payne, Fullback. Goodrich, Left Half. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, Nov. 25. (Special.) Among the best players on the Oregon eleven of this year are Joe Templeton, Clyde A. Payno and Ray Goodrich, the three backs. Templeton, who is field captain, is a member of the family that has made previous Oregon elevens famous. He played full back on 'the 'varsity last season, and was regarded aa a thoroughly reliable player. His twin brother, Frank Templeton, la captain of the Albany College eleven. Fullback Payne is serving his third year" on tho 'varsity, he having played right halfback in 18t9 and fullback In 1000. Ray Goodrich played halfback on the Oregon Agricultural Collcgo -eleven in 1S0S and 1S91). Since 1000 ho has been playing left halfback on the Oregon eleven, and has always proved a sure ground-gainer and a stronc man on the defense. Taken as a whole, his back field Is one of the best ever turned out at the 'varsity, and the work of Goodrich, Payne and Templeton will be watohed with Interest in tho big Thanksgiving game against Multnomah. arranged. Inasmuch as both the Insti tute and tho convention have the samo object. The speakers Invited can ad dress both organizations. In the appointment of tho members of the Grange committee. Chairman Welch practically placed the officers of the State Grange in charge of the Institute, which makes them responsible. The state officers on the committee are as follow?: G. B. Leedy, state master; A. T. Buxton, state lecturer; Mrs. M. S. Howard, s'tate secretary; Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, deputy. The, state master is attending the National Grange which has been In session at Lansing, Mich., but hp win ue nume 111 a lew auys. wnen: arrives it win oe Known wnat chrces there are for securing tho attendance of the National master at the Institute. His presence would add very m,uch to the Interest and profit of the Institute.' Chairman Welch already has assuu ances that competent speakers from the experimental station of the Oregon Agricultural College can be secured. He has also opened correspondence with other men in tjhe state on the subject of talks on topics of interest to Grangers, and he feels certain that a good pro gramme for every minute of the insti tute can be provided." He also says that the movement to hold a Grange insti tute in Portland is one of the most pop ular that has ever been started In the granges. Letters are being' received which indicate that there will be a large attendance, not only from Oregon, but from Washington. A. F. Miller, master of Evening Star Grange, where the movement originated, says that in his travels he has found much enthusiasm for tho institute. Chairman Welch says: "Portland will see more Grangers on the occasion of. the Grange Institute than ever before. We hope to secure the co-operation of tho Mayor and Board of Trade, Manufactur ers' Association and Chamber of Com merce in making the institute a suc cess." REVISE FREIGHT TARIFFS Transcontinental Agents Act on Com plaints of Merchhnts. A party of railroad freight agents was in the city yesterday on the way home to California from the meeting of tne committee of Inspection which was held at Vancouver, B. C, last week. They are: G. W. Luce, general freight agent or the 1 Southern Pacific, with headquarters in San Francisco; R. H. Countiss, agent of the transcontinental freight bureau at San Francisco, and chairman of the com mittee; E. Chambers, general, freight agent of the Santa Fe at Los Angeles. W. Et Coman. of this city, general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa cific lines in Oregon, and R. B. .Miller, general freight agent of the O. R. & N., also returned from the meeting. The committee was occupied In consid ering the complaints of merchants as to Inconsistencies in the transcontinental tar iff adopted last March, and in making changes where such complaints were found to be well, grounded. This is generally accomplished by changing the classifica tion. This work Involves a great mass of detail, which takes time, but does not show any startling results. ' Mr. Luce and Mr. Chambers left last night for their homes, but Mr. Countiss remained over until today. LAYING TRACK TO GOLD END ALB. Columbia River & Northern Has AH Material on Hand.

OREGON NURSERY STOCK Horticnltnral Inspector Reynolds Favors Home Product. ALBANY, Nov. 24. (Special.) L. B. Reynolds, of Salem, Horticultural In spector for this district, has been in Albany and vicinity Inspecting fruit trees shipped here from Eastern states, and particularly from New York. In spector Reynolds deplored the fact that horticulturists yet persist' In Importing apple trees from the East when the home product so , far excels that which Is shipped In. He said that contiguous to almost every town in his district there were nurseries which produced young apple trees free from pests, and more vigorous and desirable than any im ported trees, yet there are some orchard Ists who continue to send abroad for OREGON ELEVEN their apple trees. In some instances Mr. Reynolds has been compelled to burn the trees shipped In from Eastern states because of codlln moth and other in sect pests which Infected the trees. The Inspector said Oregon nurseries produce young apple trees which aro not excelled anywhere, andit Is time local orchard ists were realizing this fact and plant ing their orchards with home product. The apple trees shipped from New York have the added expense of freight, and are not as desirable as the Oregouvpxod uct THE HAWAIIAN EXCURSION Utilized by n Funny Man in Default of Other Material. New York Sun. Not long before Congress adjourned last Summer Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. caused some of his fellow statesmen to ele vate their eyebrows to the arc of amuse ment by offering a resolution for the In vestlgatlon of . affairs In the Hawaiian Islands during the recess. The Senator undoubtedly apprehend tho spirit in which hio unexpected suggestion was re ceived, for he hastened to say: "I wish It understood that I could not serve on the committee, even if I were ap pointed. I have other engagements for the Summer, and therefore I am to be re iieved from the suspicion of any effort on my part to get up a committee for the purpose of a Summer outing." Nevertheless, when the time came to sail. Senator Mitchell discovered that his other engagements were not of cast iron. for he went along with the rest. His res olution had gone through, but not with out a ought hitch. On. Mr. Foraker's mo tion It was curiously referred to the com mittee to audit and control the contingent expenses of tho Senate. That tribunal, through the genial Mr. Jones of Nevada. reported favorably, but Mr. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, objected and the resolution was laid oyer for several days. Good nature finally prevailed -and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Burton, of Kansas, and Mr. Foster, of Washington,, were authorized to make tho Journey at the expense of the contingent funu of tne Senate. As we have re marked, the disinterested promoter of the excursion went along, too. At least one of the Hawaiian investl gators has now returned to this continent for Senator Foster was reported the other day as entertaining the Hon. Charles E. Llttlefleld, of Maine, at Tacoma. Whether Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Burton have finished their labors we do not know. Probabiv they have retume'd also, for the season for what Senator Mitchell described as "Summer outing" is about over. The one thing certain is that during the past three months the attention of the great Amer ican public has not been concentrated up on tho movements and doings of the sub committee for the investigation of Ha waiian affairs in general. Reports are coming In somewhat tardily of the com mittee's diligence. For example, we learn from a belated number of the Hawaiian Gazette that In a single day the Senatorial Commission as the sub-committee styled Itself or was styled after Its arrival In Honolulu, "ate a luan luncheon, which delayed the after noon sesoion for some time," was "set right on many matters which affect the interests of the territory," listened to an argument by A.-B. Humphreys, who ap; peared as attorney for our told friend Lllluokalani. took a ride about the har bor In tho steamboat John A. Cummins, and accepted an Invitation to go to Waialua a day or two later as the guests of Captain Whiting all this besides ex amining the subject of imported Chinese and Japanese labor. We infer that this was not an exceptionally arduous and strenuous day, but merely an average one In the commlttee'j3 experience. A single Incident s,hows the patience mm uignuy witn wnicn- tne tnree deflators traveling at the expense of the contingent fund have fulfilled their obligations to the 57th Congress andihe American people. When Humphreys appeared, for thethlrd time to present tne pecuniary claims ot tho formerly great and good Lllluokalani, two of the three Senators were inclined to regard him as a bore. This Is what happened: "There was some little clouding in the minds of the members of the commission when Humphreys began. Senator Mitchell said to him: You have appeared before this body in two capacities. First you came as amicus curiae for the people of the territory, and later aa the attorney for the former Queen of Hawaii. In which of these capacities do you appear now? Humphreys said he was coming under the general invitation to the people to pre sent any matters which they thought to be of special importance, and. In. addition. to a special Invitation given by one of tne members of the commission. Some one In the audience whispered 'Butt In!' and with that the argument and the state ment went on." So Humphreys butted In for the third time, and the self-sacrlflclng committee of tourists permitted him to bitit. Ban ish the unworthy thought that Senator Mitchell's Pacific excursion has been a mere junket MINERS AND OPERATORS In the Coal Region a Third ot a- Cen tury Ago. f New York Evening Post, of August 17, , 16S. The news from tho anthracite coal mines today Is precisely that which every attentive reader" of the letters from our special correspondent In that region, the last of which we print, today, will have been led to expect. Tne miners and la borers there combined to demand the con trol of the business. Including that of the capital Invested In It by others, and of the markets, which represent the com bined or competing interests of the op erators, the transporters and the con sumers. Permanent success In such a movement was Impossible, and the par tial success they at first obtained has only resulted in making heir complete and final falluro the more conspicuous. In the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions "the basis" was yielded to them; that Is to say, the miners were permitted to dic tate limits to the price of coal, and to exact a fixed share of that price as wages. However, after a trial of six weeks, the plan has broken down entirely, and tho relations of labor and capital are more utterly disorganized than ever. Today the miners of the Lehigh and nearly all of those of the Schuylkill Basin are again "out on a strike," and their employers ha'e had such a bitter experience of the effects of surrendering the control of their buslnesss to an Irresponsible body of men, actuated by the passions of a mob, that there is little prospect of a resumption until tho Miners' Association shall with draw Its extreme demands. In the Lackawanna region, however, the power of tho association seems to be broken. Its officers themselves. It is said agreed on Saturday to abandon "the basis," which has been the foundation of the union, and to permit tho miners to re sume work at tho high rate of wages now common, without any stipulation for sus pension or for a partnership in tho sales of coil. It Is understood that the men themselves would have done so without this permission, the authority of their committees being fast on the decline, Thus there appears to be no obstacle to a speedy resumption of acticity in the collieries of the Delaware & Hudson, and of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Companies; and it is to be hoped that these corporations may within a few days begin full work, forwarding to this mar ket perhaps 90,000 tons per week o'f coal; or, with the Pennsylvania Coal Company, whose collieries arc steadily at work. 115,- 000 tons per week.

This may read as though wo were put ting It a little strong, because It is gen erally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form Is In curable or practically so. But we have long ince shown that Dyspepsia Is cura ble, nor Is It such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving them selves, or going to opposite extreme or else deluging the already over-burdened stomach with "bitters," "after-dinner pills," etc., which invariably increase the difficulty even if In some cases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What tho stomach wants Is a rest. Now how can tho stomach be come rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained? This is a great secret and this Is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a comparatively new remedy but Its sue cess and popularity leaves no doubt as to Its merit. The Tablets will, digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stomach The sufferer from Dyspensia according ,to directions. Is to eat an abundance of jood wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the re sult will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your Dyspeosia may be, because, as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly inactive. To Illustrate our meaning plainly. If you. take 1S00 grains of meat, eggs, or ordinary food and place it in a temperature of 9S degrees, and put with it one of Stuart s Dyspepsia-Tablets It will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of Digestion and the body and brain will be prcperly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made because the much-abused stom ach will be given, to some extent, a mdeh necded rest. Your druggist will tell you that of all the many remedies advertised to cure Dyspepsia none of them have .given so complete and general satisfac tion as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least in importance In the.se hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money. .

Good pianos, low prices, easy terms, reliable guarantees, bring orders pouring in so rapjdly that the days of this exceptional club op portunity are numbered. Clubs will soon close and piano prices advance. ThrouKh an error in yesterday's paper 88 members were reported in Club "A." instead of 5S. and 36 Instead of 91 m Club "B." The report should have read: Club "A," BS members. Club "B." 91 members. Club "E," 42 members. Club "D," 37 members. Today the showing Is: Club "A," 62 members. Club "B," 92 members. Club "E." 4S members. Club "D," 39 members. This shows that Club "E." which took the place of former Club "C," carries the most popular pianos. The pianos In this club are the finest medium-priced, instruments made, such as the Schumann, tho Steger; Decker, always reliable and popular; the Victor Orchestral Grand, with, Empire top, and Philadelphia's greatest piano, the Lester. These fine Instru-J ments and many more just as good are 1 in Club "E." Regular prices on thenxt range from. $150 to ?500. To club mem bers they go for $264 "and $297. Payments are $12 down when the piano is dellv-i ered to you and $2 weekly to finish your purchase. These pianos, as well as every, other one we sell, have our written guar- antee for five years, and also that of the: manufacturer. ) CLUB "D." Shows a gain of two. This means two of the finest pianos made have found homes a Kimball and a Chlckerlng Pianos that will be a lasting satisfaction far into coming generations. The saving, on them to club members is from $ioil to $200. CLUB "A." Gained a little on Club "B" yesterday; Bales In the latter being one, while Clubl A snowed four new memoers. AND SO THEY GROW. Yesterday was by no means a represen tative day. Sales all through this club selling have run from 18 to 23 daily. But even at this lower rate the llmtti of ono hundred members to a club must; soon be reached. Club "E," which .was organized less than a week ago to take the place of Club "C," that was filled in, less than two weeks, has now a member ship of 4S. All the kinds of pianos included In the clubs are on tho floor, ready for Inspec tion. Piano salesmen are here always prepared to give any information desired concerning them. We want our club members, as well as our regular pur chasers, to understand thoroughly just' what they are getting when they secure', one of our pianos at the moderate prices' at which we sell them.
