MILITIA TO CAMP
Northwest States Will. Send
Troops'to Idaho. .
REGULAR ARMY WILL GO, TOO
Military Maneuvers Will-Be Conduct
ed by the War Department-Five
Thousand Men to Be Mobil
ized During Autumn. '
Military maneuvers on a large scale
will be conducted in Idaho this Summer
for the first time In the Northwest- Ar
rangements are now being made between
the Adjutant-Generals of the states of
Oregon, Washington and Ida.io with Adjutant-General
Evans, of the Department
of the Columbia, to have the militia of the
three states, camp with the regular Army
for two weeks next August or September
and practice field work.
Maneuvers of this kind are not un
common in the Eastern states, but have
never been known here before. They
are becoming very popular and are being
encouraged by the War Department In
its desire to have the militia become as
nearly like the regular Army as possible.
Contact with the regulars will teach the
rawer militiamen more than they could
learn In a lifetime from the military
code. Two -weeks of It and they will
want to wear their uniforms all the time
and snow the lining of their capes like
tne troopers.
No particular site has been picked upon
as yet, but it will be somewhere in the
rolling or even mountainous country,
where a regiment can be taken out and
lost and the rest of the Army be sent to
lind it as if It were a hostile force. This
will necessitate all the frills of war
scouts", advance guard, skfrmlsh line,
main body of the army, commissary de
partment and rearguard. All the hard
ships of war will have to be undergone,
wlta the killing leffffut. Besides this,
rifle practice, skirmishing, regular drills,
reviews and all other practices necessary
for proficiency In the art of war will find
their place during the encampment.
There will be 5000 men in parade every
day, a military showing not seen in this
part of the country before. All the men
under IheDepartment of the Columbia and
the militia of the three Nortnwest states
and possibly California will be at the en
campment. As it would be necessary to
transport the California troops over 1000
miles, however, it is doubtful whether
they will join the encampment.
General orders are now being issued
from the offices of the Adjutant-Generals
which wlli inform the various companies
and troops to be ready for tne Summer
encampment. As the general supervision
of the Commissary Department will
come under the command of the regular
service, arrangements will easily be
made, 5000 men being a small detachment
In the eyes of a commissary officer In the
regular Army.
BARE EXECUTIVE ABILITY.
The New President of the St. Louis
Lady Managers.
St Louis Republic.
In the selection of Mrs. Mary Margarita
Manning as Its president, the board of
lady managers of the St Louis World's
Exposition has secured the services of a
woman of rare executive ability, broad
views and practical experience to preside
over deliberations. Mrs. Manning is the
widow of the late Daniel Manning, who
was Secretary of the Treasury during
President Cleveland's first administration,
and who died December 24, 18S7.
Mrs. Manning was, before her marriage
on November 19, 1SS1, Miss Mary Margar
ita Fryer, of Albany, N. T. She is a
descendant of pre-Hevolutionary stock,
her ancestral lineage embracing such il
lustrious names as the Livingstons,
Schuylers, Vandams, De Pcysters and
Vancourtlands, pioneers In the history of
New Amsterdam, now New York.
Mrs. Manning was twice elected president-general
of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which now consists
of about 35,000 members, extending over
45 states and territories. One of the
qualifications for membership In this or
der provides that an ancestor of the ap
plicant must "with unfailing loyalty have
rendered material aid to the cause of In
dependence as a recognized patriot as a
Boldler or sailor or as a civil officer in
one of the several colonies or states of
the United States, or of the united col
onies or states."
Mrs. Manning's predecessor as president-general
of the Daughters of the
American Revolution was Mrs. Adlai E.
Stevenson, wife of the former Vice-President
of the United States. Mrs. Manning
and Mrs. Stevenson represented the Dem
ocratic women of the country, while be
fore them as head of the society were
Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison, the first
wife of President Benjamin Harrison, and
Mrs. John W. "Foster, these being repre
sentatives of Republicanism.
As a leader Mrs. Manning is probably
without a peer. She possesses the gra
cious charm of manner, tact and kindli
ness which go to make a successful
leader. She Is tall and handsome and
dresses with faultless elegance. She Is
a brilliant conversationalist and as a
Washington hostess her receptions were
the talk of the capital.
In appreciation of her ability, she was
Belected by the Government as a commis
sioner to the Paris Exposition in 1900.
While In the French capital she acted in
the four-fold capacity of a National Com
missioner of the United States, represent
ed the women of America at the unveil
ing of the statue of General George
Washington In Paris, represented the
United States Government at the un
veiling of the statue of LaFayette, and
was chosen as the representative of the
American Daughters of the Revolution
at the same ceremony.
In recognition of her services and un
tiring energy, the French government es
tablished a precedent by decorating her
with the cross of the Legion of Honor
after a bitter contest Many of the
French officials were strongly opposed to
granting this distinction to foreign women
for fear it would be Impossible to with
stand the importunities of other femi
nine candidates. It was argued that
since few French women were honored
with this mark of distinction, it would
be unfair to honor foreigners. But this
opposition was swept away by the For
eign Office, which approved the recom
mendation. which was later approved by
the government ooaru.
While In Paris there was a literal "tem
pest in a teapot" because of a diffcrenc
of opinion between Mrs. Manning and
tne countess bpotuswooa Mackln. of St
Louis, the latter being a member of the
Daughters or the American Revolution.
The Countess acquired her title from
the Vatican. At a meeflng of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution In Wash
ington the Countess invited a number of
them to attend a tea party and reception
at her home in .fans auring the ExdosI
tlon. and left the date to Mrs. Manning's
selection. Mrs. Manning was president of
the Daughters at the time. She declined
to name a day to take tea or to parti
cipate In any way, on the ground that it
wis contrary to tne principles of the so.
city for Its members to acquire and use
a foreign title -Mrs. Planning is a stick
ler for foreign law -and believes !n living
up to to the -spirit as well as the latter
of the constitution or ine juaugnters.
Upon her return to the- United States
Sirs. Manning was cnosen -as a repreeen
tatlve to the Pan-American Exposition.
She was president of the Naw York' State
Board, She acquitted herself with credit,
on this occasion and did yeoman service
for the Buffalo Exposition.
Mrs. Mann'.ig Is as well smown in
W.vchiigton and Paris as she Is In her
home town. Albany. Even after the death
of her husband, she spent her Winters
in Washington and during the second ad
ministration of Mr.. CleveLona her-'an-nual
breakfast" to Mrs. Cleveland was a
function of such stately proportions as
were seldom seen srywhera.
Since her retirement from the presi
dency of the Daughters of the American
Revolution early In 1901, Mrs. Manning
has spent her Winters In New York.
ELLERY STILL. IN THE HELD.
He Denies That His Italian Band Has
Disbanded.
LOS ANGELES, March 14, 1904. (To the
Editor) Will you kindly allow me suf
ficient space in your valuable columns
to set at rest at once and forever the

about my band. My attention has been

Italian Band was recently disbanded In
San Francisco and that eight of its mem-

to be joined by 16 others to reorganize
the band. The facts of the case are that

MUNICIPAL HOUSEKEEPING.
Indianapolis Women Offer Sugges
tions Well Worth Considering.
Indianapolis Journal.
The naner this morning contains the
views of several well-known Indianapolis
ladies on the subject of beautifying tne
city, and might have had many more on
the same line, no doubt, as most Intelli
gent women have decided' opinions in re-
crovA - IranrnvnmCTits Tiflpded in munic
ipal housekeeping. While the chief feature
of the new Civic Improvement leagues
plan, so far outlined, involves the plant-inn-
of flowers and vines and the conse
quent decorating of bare walls and bits
of ground, it will be noticed that tne
women quoted put stress on neatness and
cleanliness as tne first and most necessary
reform. The supreme desire and the con
stant struggle of the accomplished house
ironnar 1q tn hn.ve her nremlses invested
with the charm that only immaculate
cleanliness can give, uurnisnings ana
sxnrtitinno nrf secondary to the sweet
and healthful atmosphere that belongs to
the house spotlessly neat in all Its ap
pointments. This attraction, too is one
thnt mn- t found as well In the two-
room cabin as In the most pretentious
mansion perhaps is more oiien iouna
there.
The first thing the housekeeper under
takes in entering into possession of a new
dwelling is to make it cleanf and It Is nat
ural and logical that she should apply the
same rule of operations to city Improve
ments, more especially as Indianapolis is
so woefully lacking In the rudiments of
the nrt of neatness. The cleaning of
alleys and vacant lots, the enforcement of
existing ordinances against the scattering
of garbage, ashes and other waste ma
terial and the securing of new 'official reg
ulations against other sanitary offenses,
if necessary, present themselves to the
housewifely mind as more Important than
the covering of walls and fences with
vines. Of course. It may be possible to
carry on the two branches .of work in
conjunction, to inculcate principles of
neatness along with a love for flowers,
T-Vmnc tVint Is the ournose of the
Civic League. Possibly It Is thought that
the transformation or ironi ana uacK
yards Into bowers of beauty will inspire
in the owners of these yards an ambitloif
to keep the adjoining- alleys free from
rubbish, but It seems reasonable to sup
pose that this part of the reform may be
expedited by object lessons and enforce
ment of laws. At all events, the sugges
tions of the ladles are worthy of atten
tion, and it will also be well for the Im
provement society to reflect that flowers
and vines are short-lived and for more
than half the year cannot even cover the
unsightly spots, while unclean alleys and
garbage-laden commons are in evidence
the year round.
Papers Stolen From Witness in Court.
NEW YORK, March 17. Checks and
documents representing $30,000 are report

the coatpocket of a bank cashier during
a hearing in bankruptcy proceedings

REPAIRINGJETTYTRESTLE
STORM CARRIED AWAY 800
YARDS OF THE WORK.
Taking of Rock Will Probably Begin
About April 15-Contracts
for Material.
ASTORIA. Or., March 17. (Special.)
Assistant Engineer G. B. Hegardt,. who
Is in charge of the Government work at
the mouth of the Columbia River, states
.that during the present Winter 800 yards
of the jetty trestle have been carried away
by the storms. He now has a large force
of men engaged In making repairs and
about 90 feet of new trestle is being
constructed each day. The piling Is not
being driven through the rock, as was
done In the repair work last season, but
the trestle Is being built around the rock
to connect with the portion of the trestle
that Is still standing farther out
Mr. Hegardt expects that the repairs
will- be completed so that the department
can begin taking rock, again about April
15. The Intention Is, a3 soon as bperations
are resumed, to receive 2500 tons of rock
daily, shipments being made- from the up
river quarries by both rail and barges.
Mr. Hegardt also says a wrong Impres-
ELECTED RABBI OF
TEMPLE EMANU EL
OF VANCOUVER,
B. C.
Rev. Dr. N. Mosessohn, editor of
the Jewish Tribune, a prominent
clergyman of this city, has been
elected rabbi of Temple Emanu-El,
of Vancouver. B. C, one of the
wealthiest and most influential
Jewish congregations on the Pacific
Coast.
slon seems to have gone abroad concern
ing the rock contract that was recently
let to the Columbia Contract Company, as
most people imagine this company Is to
furnish large rock only. This is not the
case, as the contract with it and the one
with the Northwest Construction Com
pany are Identical excepting as to the
price and amount. Each contractor will
furnish both large and small rock and the
reason the new contract was made was
because the department desires to rush
the work this season and one company
could not supply the rock fast enough.
Concerning the placing of oil burners In
the dredge Chinook, Mr. Hegardt says
the matter has not yet been definitely
decided, and if it is the change will not
delay the operation of the dredge, as the
alterations will be made after the vessel
returns to the mouth of the river, and
while she is at work.

PROBE LAND FRAUD CASE
FEDERAL GRAND JURY DEVOTES
ENTIRE DAY TO IT
Matter Is Kept Secret by Officials
but Indictment of Prominent
Persons- Seems-Probable.
The Federal grand jury met yesterday
morning and began business .without de
lay. The entire day., was devoted to the
consideration of a land fraud case, and
the Indications last evening were that an
indictment would be returned' this morn
ing. The Jury was empaneled at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and James Steel, of
Portland, was made foreman. Judge
(Bellinger Instructed the Jury as to the
number, of votes required to bring In an
Indictment and the number of members
that must be present to constitute a
quorum. He imposed strict secrecy upon
the members of the jury and all who are
In any way connected with the proceed
ings that will take place in the jury-room.
He called attention to the fact that at
the last session of the grand jury infor
mation was given out in some way to the
newspapers. The Judge informed the jury
that If any of them were guilty of this
conduct and it could be proved, that they.
would be punished.
The case under investigation yesterday
was one which the statutes of limitation
had almost placed without the jurisdic
tion of the court. It Involves alleged
fraudulent timber land deals through the
Eugene Land Office and a half dozen wit
nesses from Eugene, a number of whom
are connected with the Land Office, were
In attendance and appeared before the
Jury. The identity of the person accused
Is a strict secret which the officials re
fuse to reveal until the grand jury re
ports. It Is understood that in case an
indictment Is returned it will create a
sensation.
Judging from the fact that only a por
tion of the witnesses were called before
the jury, and the others excused from
further attendance, the prosecution must
have rested Its case with perfect assur
ance that an Indictment will be returned.
In fact, a blank form for an Indictment
went into the jury-room before adjourn
ment and its return Is expected at the
opening of court this morning.
The time of the grand Jury. It Is under
stood, will be devoted almost entirely to
the investigation of land and timber fraud
cases. The officials, since the last session
of the grand jury, have been unusually
active and It Is understood that they have
succeeded in securing evidence against a
number of persons whose conduct will be
thoroughly probed by the jury.
One of the principal cases to come be
fore the Jury will be that of Charles
Cunningham, County Judge Hartman, Joe
Parks and others accused of frauds in
Eastern Oregon.
Fearless Russian Not Expected.
BER0LIN, March 17. Mandelstamm,
whom Chancellor von Bulow named In the
Reichstag February 29 as one of the lead
ing protestors against the government's
attitude toward Russia, is not included In
the list of 30 Russian students expelled
from Germany. He anticipated such an
order by flight to Switzerland. Frau
Zetkin, In a recent speech at Breslau,
gave the following details of his past:
"Hats off to Mandelstamm, twice de
ported to Siberia, where, almost without
food, owing to the embezzlement of a
commissary officer, complained to the
commander of the escort, who, lining
them up, said: 'Who objects? One man
stopped forward, and the officer shot him.
Turning pleasantly to the others, the
commander Inquired: 'Has any one else a
wish?' A second man stepped out of the
line and the commander shot him dead,
and .again asked if any one complained.
Mandelstamm said Ye3, I do- The offi
cer, overcome by this fearlessness, lis
tened to the protest and supplied the con
victs with food."

with the happy result that thousands have
been completely cured, and others are
being cured every day.
"In the year '92 I was stricken with
epilepsy. Doctors treated me for several
years, but I grew worse. I would have
such awful fits. I cannot tell my awful
sufferings. A druggist recommended Dr.
Miles' Nervine, and I bought a bottle.

more and am cured. I had only one light

Interesting Experiment In a Restau
rant. An advertising agent, represenUng a
prominent New York magazine, while on
a recent "Western trip, was dining one
evening In a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad
vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia
preparation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was a regular user of the
tablets, he began speculating as to how
many of the other traveling men in the
dining-room were also friends of the popu
lar remedy for indigestion.
He says: I counted 23 men at the tables
and In the hotel office I took the trouble
to interview them and was surprised to
learn that nine of the 23 made a prac
tice of takimr one or two of Stuarts
"Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been obliged to quit the road,
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets had been entirely free from indiges
tion, but he continued their use, espe
cially while traveling, on account of Ir
regularity in meals and because, like all
traveling men he was often obliged to
eat what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate a meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear of a sleep
less night or any other trouble.
tatiu another used them because he was
subject to gas on stomach, causing pres
sure on heart and lungs, shortness of
breath and distress in chest, which he no
longer experienced since using the tablets
regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dvsnensla
Tablets was the only safe remedy he had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity.
He had formerly used common soda to re
lieve the trouble, but the tablets were
much better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other ex
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach to a
healthy, wholesome condition so effectu
ally as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural digestive, pepsin, diastase, which
every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux.
hydrastln and yellow parllla, and can be
safely relied on as a radical cure for
every form of poor digestion. Sold by
druggists everywhere.
George S. Scally, of 75 Nassau St.. New York.
says: 'Tor years I have been troubled with
rheumatism and dyspepsia, and I came to the
conclusion to try your pins. I immediately
found great relief from their use; I feel like a
new man since I commenced taking; them,
and would not now be without them. The
drowsy, sleepy feeling; I need to have has en
tirely disappeared. The dyspepsia has left me
and my rheumatism. Is cone entirely. I am.
satisfied It any one so afflicted will give Bad
