HOOD I ..professor depart1 TO RUSH BUILDING New, Exhibit Palace to Be Fin ished in 90 Days. TO PROVIDE 80,000 SQ. FEET Executive Committee of Exposition Decides to Expend $50,000 for Palace of Manufactures and Varied Industries. Directly oast of the Agricultural Pal ace en the grounds of the Lewis and Clark Exposition will stand within 90 days the new Palace of Manufacturers, Liboral Arts and Varied Industries. It will contain over 90,000 square feet of space and wUl cost In the neighborhood of 560,000. Though the time before the Exposition shall open is limited there if now everj' reason to believe that the new building will be crowded with ex hibits, perfectly arranged, on the open ing day. This new structure, which was made aiecessary by the great dcmanus on Director of Exhibits Dosch for space, fwlll bo one of the most Imposing on the grounds and, next to the Forestry building, will house exhibits which will attract the greatest attention. Plans to Be Drawn Up. "Plans for this immense new build ing should be drawn within a week's time," said Colonel Dosch yesterday. "We qught to be able to gather bids for construction within another week. We shall make It a point to see that construction begins immediately, that the contractor, whoever he may be, wil put on an adequate force of men, and that the building is finished within S8 days. "We have to have It by that "time. Exhibits will be pouring in, and we shall need the space for storage." The Unal decision to erect the new building at once -and on the scale men tioned was reached at a meeting of the Executive commltee held yesterday af temoon, when formal and official action was taken. The matter of erecting the new building was practically decided upon some time ago upon receipt of ad ,vices from Colonel Dosch, then In St. Louis, that the applications for space by far exceeded the amount available. Needed for Live Exhibits. After examining the applications for exhibit space, after eliminating all "dead" exhibits, and considering only those which were absolutely necessary for the complete success of the Fair within its scope, it was found that this building was absolutely necessary and that ail the 90,000 square feet of space available in it would be taken, as ap plications for space for "live" exhibits amounting to as much as 90,000 square feet are now on file with Director of Exhibits Dosch. The recommendation of the committee on exhibits and trans portation to the executive commltee, asking for the building, was as fol lows; To the Executive Committee The commit tee en exhibits and transportation recommends the construction of a building 240x375 feet, to contain 00,000 square feet, for manufactures, liberal arts and varied industries. We have carefully canvassed the applications for 6pace filed with the director of exhibits, and find that the additional building Is absolutely necessary, in order to provide for all the de finable exhibits that are offered, and partic ularly to accommodate Pacific Coast exhibit ors. The buildings now known as the Foreign Exhibits and Liberal Arts have been complete ly given over to the foreign exhibitors. Un Ices this had been done, it would not have been possible to secure any foreign exhibits, and the Exposition would not be international In character. We further recommend that plana be pre pared and that work be begun on the new bulMlng without delay. COMMITTEE OK EXHIBITS AND TRANS PORTATION, by Theo. B. Wilcox, Chair man. OTHER TROOPS ARE COMING. California Wants to Send Crack Mili tia Companies to Exposition. Following the announcement that Troop B, First Washington Cavalry, intond to ride overland to the Lewis and Clark Exposition and camp in or near the grounds for two weeks, giv ing rough-riding exhibitions during that period. Is the announcement that California is thinking of sending to the Fair three of her crack militia com panies, Word to that effect was re ceived at Exposition headquarters yes terday from the Adjutant-General of that state. Whether the California troopers will come to the Fair overland has not been determined, but It is probable that they will," at least a part of the way. The companies that are to make the jour ney will be selected after a competitive drill and will be the three best-drilled companies In the State Guard. It is also possible that the quota will . In clude two infantry companies and one troop of cavalry. The State of Washington is also thinking of sending militia companies In addition to the cavalry troop, though the matter has not been definitely de cided. It is probable that Idaho will be represented for a few weeks by militia companies, and possibly Colo rado. These, together with the several bodies of cadets who have already as sorted that they would come, will give the Exposition a decided martial air Sor several consecutive weeks. President Goode Arrives Monday. President Goode is expected to reach Exposition headquarters from the East on Monday morning. Immediately upon Ills arrival undecided issues will be discussed and a world of business hur ried to completion. From the hour of this return until the opening day of the Exposition there will be little rest for President Goode. who will be obliged to give many matters serious thought, receive committees and render decis ions in the emergencies which will pos dbly confront the directors and heads t the various departments from time t time.

Address THE OREGONLAN, Portland, Or. felt want" as It did last night The public has been craving something in the way of entertainment for a good while. It has not been clear Just what it was, but permit me to call your kind attention, ladles and gentlemen, to "The Princess Chic" The audience was altogether too small, not many people caring to bravo the stifling heat and flying dust in the streets last night, so the attendance was nowhere near what the attraction merited. If a dozen great song numbers, half as many fine principals, the best chorus of the season, splendid clothes, adequate scenery and a prima donna four laps ahead of the field, make a good perform ance. "Chic" Is Just that. I last saw the piece when Joe MIron, as the first soldier of fortune, was the whole show. Mlron has the biggest voice ever exhibited and no one .who heard him sing "War Is a Bountiful Jade" will ever forget- him. He's in a New York produc tion this season, but "Princess Chic" gets along wonderfully well without him. George Callahan does quite well enough In that genial giant's old part -and, other wise, the company Is much stronger than heretofore. The capital prize "this year Is Sophie Brandt, a j'oung woman who ought to be in grand opera. She owns a voice which fairly glows and thrills. It comprehends magnificent proportions and is as full of color as a -Navajo blanket. Miss Brandt ought to try It on "Carmen." I think the musical sharps would take off their gloves to her "Carmen." She sang and acted the title role last night superbly. She was a great relief after the parlor-voiced damsels who sing leads with musical patchworks. It was a privilege to hear again on a comic stage a woman with a chest. In addi tion to Its liberal displacement. Miss Brandt's voice Is sweet and sympathetic. The audience liked her tremendously and recalled her again and again. The next prize was Gus Vaughan, a baritone among hundreds, who sang the part of the Duke. His solo, "When I'm Away From You," was the best piece of offhand singing done by any man on the Marquam stage this year. Caroline Lum, a contralto, won herself a home as easy as anything. Her "Es telle" was one of the best features of the performance. She did the "Lovellght" solo beautifully, and. In the "Storybook" duet, with Lyman Wheeler (Francois), she and Mr. Wheeler were both de lightful. The part of "Lorraine," In which Jane Vander Zee appeared to charming advan tage, though not one of first importance, gave the young lady with Knickerbocker name opportunity to establish her un usual talent. The comedians. Jack Henderson as Chamberlain, Tom Smith Martin as Pommard, George Callahan as Brevet and George Thomas as Brabeau com posed a very funny quartet, and their singing of that rattling good topical song, "How Are Wfe to Know," received more applause than anything in the piece. It looked for a while as If four comedians would die from exhaustion be fore the encores subsided. The ensemble singing throughout was very praise worthy, the best instance being "Love Is a Madness," in the last act. The chorus girls are gifted with charms of face, voice and figure, and they work with true Chicago spirit. "Princess Chic" Is an event of Impor tance. The engagement concludes Sat urday with matinee and night per formances. A. A. G. Put Opponent to Sleep. In an encounter with Frank PIer.ce.. at Front and Salmon streets, yesterday "aft ernoon, Tom Riley received a blow over the heart that rendered him unconscious for several hours, and from which ho has not yet recovered. He is at St. Vin cent's Hospital, where officials state he Is resting well. Both men are deckhands on the steam er "Joseph Kellogg." They were In a saloon at Front and Salmon, when Pierce requested Riley to lend him sum of money. Riley declined to grant the re quest, whereupon, It Is alleged, Plerco struck him. One of the heaviest blows was landed directly over Riley's heart. He was taken to the hospital in a police ambulance. Pierce will be arrosted today. Storm Off Columbia's Mouth. ASTORIA, Or.. Dec 22. (Special.) There Is a severe southeast gale blowing off the mouth of the river tonight, and the Indications are that It will continue during tomorrow at least.

When a child shows symptoms of croup there is no time to experiment with new remedies, not matter how highly they may be recommended. There Is one preparation that can always be depended upon. It has been in use for many years and has never been known to fail, viz.: Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. Give It and a quick cure is sure to follow. Mr. M. JF. Comp toa, of Market, Tex., says of It: "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy In se vere cases of croup with my children, and can truthfully say it always gives prompt relief."

TO TRY CASES PROMPTLY Trial Docket to Be Kept of Criminal Cases Which Will Be Called Without .District Attor- J ney.'s Order. Judges Frazer, Sears, Cleland and George, of the State Circuit Court, have prepared rules for the year 1905, which, in some respects, change the criminal prac tice of the court. In future a trial docket of all criminal cases Is to be kept. Cases will be called for .trial each Monday by the presiding Judge, oven though no ap plication to set the case has been made by the District Attorney. By this means the criminal cases on hand will be constantly before the eye of the presiding Judge. As it now is, crimi nal cases can remain on file indefinitely, if the District Attorney fails to bring the case to trial. Another change In the rules provides that all criminal actions, appealed from lower courts, shall be placed on the trial docket within ten days. In the past most or the cases that were appealed from the Municipal Court, either city or state, have nevei been tried at all, or even p'laced on the trial docket An appeal frohx a municipal court sentence was thus equivalent to an acquittal. Some of the Changes. The principal rules In which decided changes have been made are as follows: Civil and Criminal Cases. A motion book shall be kept, and any mo tion, demurrer or issue pf law In a civil case, except a motion for new trial, shall bo Mt down by the clerk on tho motion book for hearing, upon the written application of either party, and. except In special proceeding, shall be beard by the court on the third day after being set down, provided that. If the third day falls upon a Saturday or Sunday,' the hear inc ohall be on the fallowing Monday. The application shall bo signed by the party or his attorney. Any motion, demurrer or Issue of law In a criminal action, except a motion for a new trial, shall be sot down by the clerk on the motion book for hearing upon the oral appli cation of cither party, and ahall be heard by tho court on the third day after being set down, provided that, if the third day falter upon Saturday or Sunday, the hearing shall take place upon tho following Monday. Motions for new trial in civil . or criminal cased shall be set down by the clerk on the motion book for hearing upon the oral applica tion of either party, and shall bo heard by the court on Saturday morning, unless the court shall otherwise order, but hall not be heard before the third day after being set down, unless the time be shortened by special order. A motion, demurrer, motion for new trial or issue of law in a criminal action ohall. by tho clerk, be set down on the motion book for hearing within five days after the same has been filed, although no application to sot the same down has been made, by elthor party, and when so set down by the clerk shall stand for hearing in all respecto as if set down by either of the parties. A motion, demurrer, motion for new trial or Issue of law may be heard upon any day by consent of the parties and the court, and the court or Judge may. by order, shorten the time for hearing any motion, demurrer, mo tion for new trial or Issue of law, and in such a case a copy of the order shortening the time shall be served upon the adverse party at least ono day before the time set for hearing. Motion of course, motions for extension of time and motions for postponement of trials may be heard each morning by the presiding Judge on the coming Jn of the court. Criminal and Civil Dockets. A civil trial docket shall be kept, on which shall be placed by the clerk, upon the written application of either party, all civil cases at issue upon questions of fact, except those wherein only a formal Issue Is presented. The application ehall be signed by the party or his attorney and state whether or not the ap plicant desires a Jury trial, and also that he does not desire to further move, demur or plead. A criminal trial docket shall bo kept, on which shall be placed by the clerk, upon the oral application of either party, any criminal action at issue upon a question of fact. Ever" criminal action appealed to this court within Ave days after the filing of the tran script on appeal in this court, and every crim inal action wherein indictment or information is filed in this court within ten days after the HHng of the indictment or Information, except only cases where the defendant has not been arrested, and these cases within ten daya after the defendant is arretted, shall, by the clerk, be placed upon the, criminal trial docket, although no application be made by either party, and. when so placed by the clerk, shall stand for disposition In all respects as If placed on the docket by cither of the parties. The criminal and civil trial dockets In this order will be called, and cases set for trial, on each Monday of each term, by the presid ing Judge, on the coming In of tho court, but no case, except a special proceeding, oh'all be fiet for trial until the same shall have been at least Ave daya upon the civil or criminal trial docket, unless both parties consent. Causes which have been five days on tho trial docket ehall havo precedence of any cause moved for trial by consent. Xo civil case, when a Jury Is required, will be sot for trial by consent unless the Jury trial fee is first paid. If any case on the civil trial docket shall be called on three Mondays and not set for trial, the. some, shall be stricken from that docket, and shall not be entered thereon again during the term, except by order of the presiding Judge. All cases appearing on . the criminal trial docket shall be retained thereon until Anally disposed of in this court. ATTEMPTED TO R(DE BEAMS Southern Pacific Witnesses Testify How Otto Klein Lost His Leg. The damage suit of Otto Klein against the Southern Pacific Company, wherein $20,000 is asked as compensation for Injuries sustained and the loss of a leg, was begun in the United States Court yesterday. The accident occurred at Sacramento, Cal., on November 22, 1902. Klein, it is alleged, was a passenger from San Francisco to Portland, and while on the car platform as the train left Sac ramento he was thrown by the motion of the train between the cars and un der the wheels. The injuries received necessitated the amputation of the left leg and still leave the shoulders In SL bruised condition. After the completion of the plaintiff's testimony, which consisted of evidence 'given by himself and J. Kfat, the de fendant filed a motion for a nonsuit on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to show any negligence or carelessness on the part of the defendant. Upon the denial by the court of this motion the defendant introduced eight witnesses, principally railroad em ployes and police oflicers from Sacra mento. The testimony given by those who were eye-witnesses td the acci dent was to the effect that while the train was standing In the Sacramento depot Klein left the train and had the appearance of being Intoxicated. As the train- started off. instead of "board ing the platform of the car, Klein at tempted to crawl underneath and get on the brakebeam, with the result that he fell under the wheels. A deposition taken from the doctor who attended the injured man In Sacramento testi fied that Klein had told him that he had lost his ticket, or thought he had. and that he had attempted to steal a ride. The case Is being spiritedly contested and will not be concluded before tonight AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. A FINE CLIMAX. Great Card Scene in "Camille" ThrilUs the Columbia Audiences. When Armand (Edgar Baume), roused to the highest pitch of frenzy by his sup posed betrayal at the hands of Camllle, bitterly upbraids her and scornfully hurls at her the money won from his rival, the Count de Varville (William Bernard) and the latter strikes him across the Hps as a challenge, the scene Is so realistic and convincing that the Columbia audiences hang breathless upon the denouement Miss Countlss, as Camllle, does some finely shaded work In the act. Her Irre sistible desire to prove to Armaml that she still loves him. held in check by her pledge to his father. Is simply perfect. The alter nate emotions that sway her aire faithfully reflected In every fleeting expression of her face, as well as In the agony of despair betrayed by word and action. Players and audience alike are Inspired by tho realism of the scene and the latter, forgetting their surroundings and the mimic character of the display, become a part of the tragedy enacted In the Paris salon, until the curtain falls and awakens them. A classic like "Camllle," acted as It is at tho Columbia this week, for such a trifling admittance, merits a limit house at every performance. To Dance for Prizes at the Empire. Tonight the prize buck and wing dancers of the Northwest will dance against the members of the Black Pattl Troubadours at the Empire Theater. Tomorrow night the grand championship cake walk will take place. Both those events are open to all comers and no doubt the patrons of this cozy play-house will be well rewarded for the time spent there. Cash prizes will be awarded at both contests. Tomorrow afternoon ladles and children will have an opportunity to see the great 'Black Pattl Troubadours. Christmas Presents at the Columbia., At the "Camllle" matinee Saturday, December 24, each little girl in the audi ence at the Columbia Theater will be given a Christmas souvenir from Miss Countlss. No woman who has ever ap peared on the stage In Portland loves the little girl more than MIs3 Countlss does, or Is more beloved han she. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Christmas Week at the Columbia. The attraction at the Columbia Theater for Christmas week, namely, 'The Char ity Ball," Is something that will be warm ly welcomed by everyone In Portland. It begins with the usual Sunday matinee, De cember 25, and runs all Christmas week, including a special Christmas matinee, Monday afternoon, December 26. Christ mas this year falling on Sunday, makes Monday a real holiday, and thousands of people will attend the theaters as part of the celebration of this holiday. David Belasco's beautiful art was never better demonstrated than in "Tho Charity Ball," a beautiful play of high society Chrlstmastide In New York, and ending In the peal of wedding bells. Henry de Mllle wrote most of the dialogue and David Belasco added the matchless art of stage setting. The full force of the splendid Columbia Stock Company, aug mented to suit the occasion, will be used In the production of "The Charity Ball," and nothing will be left undone to render Christmas week's attraction the finest of. the year at the Columbia. Maxine Elliott Advance Sale. This morning at 10 o'clock the advance sale, of seats will open for the charming actress, Maxino Elliott who comes to the Marquam Grand Theater as the Christ mas attraction next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday -nights, December 26, 27 and 2S, In Clyde Fitch's comedy-drama, "Her Own Way." Not more than six seats will be sold to one person for any single per formance. "Yon Yonson." The original Swedish-American charac terization,. "Yon Yonson,"' will appear at the Empire Theater four nights starting with the usual matinee next Sunday, for a return visit There will be a special matinee Monday, December 26, which Is a legal holiday. During the last 13 years "Yon Yonson" has proved a great success and the indications are that the famous play will continue to do so as long as the high standard of the production is main tained. Some people are under the impres sion that it is necessary to understand the Swedish language In order to enjoy the performance of "Yon Yonson." Such Is not the case. The dialect of "Yon Yon son" has enough English In It to be en tirely Intelligible to all American theater goers. The comedy was written for the American public and It has lived suc cessively during the last 13 years, which is evidence that it has pleased. "For Mother's Sake." "Ono touch of Nature makes the whola world kin" Is a philosophy as old as time and truth themselves. Carrie Ashley Clarke doubtless had this In mind when she wrote "For Mother's Sake," which comes to the Empire Theater three nights and Saturday matinee, starting Thursday, December 29. In speaking of this sterling play a prominent clergyman who had been persuaded to witness It said: "If all play wrights turned out such plays as 'For Mother's Sake there would be little need for churches, for It presents a sermon greater than ever came from pulpit No man or woman can witness a performance without being the better for it. It teaches a lesson so straight and so plain that none can stray from the text. Let us have more plays like 'For Mother's Sake. " Pure In tone as a mountain stream and wholesome In plot as the breath of a lily, this sterling dramatic gem has easily taken front rank In the drama pastoral. It is a- play without a villain, a railroad wreck or steamboat explosion or any other cheap stage claptrappery. A NIGHT IN JAPAN. General Bunemon Nii Willing to Meet American Athletes. . General Bunemon Nli, who is to give a Jiu-jitsu performance at the Marquam Grand Theater on the night of December 23. is willing to meet any of Portland's crack athletes. General Nil has learned that a number of these athletes are skep tical about the wonderful Japanese and that they believe that the little brown men cannot perform such wonders with the 9 LETTERS FOR PTTERSFR ""' LETTERS FOr" K EASTERN STATES f SOUTHERN STATES Ej WESTERN STATES ffl J on X ITLlGIN time- I Elgin Watches public and nistory or the jlu-pitsuian art and he Is willing to prove to the audience that a master of the art is more than a match for either the Amer ican boxer or wrestler. A committee of representative citizens will be asked to take seats on the stage and then through Professor Rlngler. of the RIngler School, will invite anyone in the audience to try conclusions with this celebrated Jap and one of his. assistants. It must be borne In mind that the exhibition which General Nil and his 15 Jiujltsuians will give is not a wrestling match. Years ago, when Japan had turned aside from Jlu-jltsu and depended upon her wrestlers, this simple art was forgotten. In 1S96, however, dur ing one of the great tournaments held be fore the Mikado, the Japanese wrestler was pitted against the jlu-pitsuian and the latter won, and now Japanese wrest ing has been shelved and once more the "simple art" has become the rage. Portland's Red-Letter Concert. The programme at the Alexander fare well concert to be given December 29 at the White Temple, Twelfth and Taylor streets, will be of such an unusually In teresting nature that It will be decidedly worth listening to, seeing that the event marks the departure of Arthur L. Alex ander, the tenor, from Portland. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer will sing "DIch Theure Halle," the famous aria from "Tannhau ser" recently sung here by Gadskl. Mrs. Anna Selkirk Norton, contralto, will glvb Nevln's "O That We Two Were Maying." De Koven's "Gondolier Song" and Gluck's "Che Faro Senza Euridlce." Mrs. William A.

There will be no reserved seats, and tickets will go on sale In a day or two. Lenvol this Is going to be one of the red-letter concerts of Portland. AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS Comedy at the Grand. "The Suburbanite," the moving pic ture at the Grand this week, shows the funny adventures that happened to a man who was induced to sell his city home and go to living in the country. Eldridge, the sand picture artist, showed that he was up to date by rush ing to the fire yesterday and reproduc ing the scene as a part of his act. Amateurs at the Arcade.

WRONG IDEA Don't get the wrong Idea into your head that starvation, is good for dyspepsia. It's not. Those who have not studied the subject very deeply or with trained scientific minds, might think so. But facts prove otherwise. All specialists in stomach and digestive disorders know, that it Is best for dys pepsia to be well fed. Why, dyspepsia Is really a starvation disease! Your feed doesn't feed you. By starvation, you may give your bow els and kidneys less to do,' but that does not cure your digestive trouljle-slmply makes you weaker and sicker; less likely to be permanently cured than ever. No, the only right way to permanently cure yourself of any form of dyspepsia or Indigestive trouble is to eat heartily of all the food that you find best agrees with you, and help your- digestion to work with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a safe, certain, scientific, relia ble method of treatment, which will never fall to cure the most dbstinate cases If persevered in. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have a gen tle, tonic, refreshing effect on the secret ory glands of the entire digestive tract. They gently force the flow of fresh, di gestive juices. They contain, themselves, many of tho chemical constituents of these Juices, thus when dissolved they help to dissolve the food around them In stomach or bowels. They therefore quickly relieve all tho symptoms of indigestion, and coax the glands to take a proper pleasure In doing their proper work. They coax you back to health.
