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.

A real comic-opera opened a half-week

Inn In these degenerate days of the "poo'

It's a reassuring thing to see the man
who writes the music get a chance. It
is also reassuring to know that all the
light opera singers have not gone into
"Parsifal."
"The Princess Chic" is quite familiar to
local theatergoers. It has been here be

MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TIM buildings, preparation of grounds and the 2500 individual exhibits
of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition that will be opened In Port
land on June L.next, will represent the investment of many millions of
dollars. The Government exhibit will be one of the most creditable ever
made at any of the National Expositions. Every building at' the great
Fair will be shown by handsome Illustration In the New Year's Oregonlan
that will be published on January 2, next. The engravings of the details
of these buildings will be made especially attractive. The New Year's num
ber will be sent to any address In the United States or Canada, postage
prepaid, for

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.

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.

cure is sure to follow. Mr. M. JF. Comp

and can truthfully say it always gives
prompt relief." For says by all drug

POST NEW ORDER
Circuit Court Judges Effect
Change in Rules, .
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

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.

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

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. Knight pianist, will render
Scarlatti's "Pastorale" In E minor, and
Goddard's "En Courant" Mrs. Bloch
Bauer, Mrs. Walter Reed, A. L. Alexan
der and Dom J. Zan will sing quartets
from Liza Lehmann's "Persian Garden."
and also Individual solos. The Orpheus
male chorus, 22 voices, will make Its first
appearance. 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

"The Suburbanite," the moving pic

SCOTT'S EMULSION
We don't put Scott's Emul
sion in the class of advertised
cure-alls; it doesn't belong
there. We hardly like to use
the word "cure" at all, but we
are bound to say that it can be
used for a great many troubles
with great satisfaction. Its
special function is to repair
the waste of the body when
the ordinary food does "not
nourish, and this means that
it is useful in many cases
which are indicated by wast
ing. We'll send you a sample free.

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.
No other medical treatment of any sort
nor any fad system of "culture" or "cure"
will give you the .solid, permanent, cura
tive results that will Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
