Brilliant Electric Display by
Night Out at tha
Exposition.
EFFECT MOST BEAUTIFUL
It Surpasses tlie Expectations of
Electricians, Pair Officials and
. the Crowd WhlcirGathcred
to "Witness Spectacle.
A startling, enthralling and bewilder
ing: tribute was paid to American elec
trical genius last night when the lights
were turned on at the Exposition
grounds. "With the exception of the
Government building and a few state
structures all the buildings were in
cluded in the magnificent electrical dis
play. The effect surpassed even the utmost
expectations of the electricians and
the Fair officials. All those who wit
nessed the display last night were
unanimously of the opinion that the
electrical arrangement of the Exposi
tion in beauty and completeness is
something never before equaled in Ex
positions. -
Tee buildings stood out bold and
prominent as the electric lights were
arranged so as to make a complete
outline. The immense dome of the
Agricultural building was particularly
beautiful andentrancing as it was fair
ly studded with lights. The Forestry
building is as beautiful at night as in
the daytime. The simplicity and
uniqueness of its architecture was ex
emplified and brougjit out by the lights
which covered the' building.
Part of the Trail Avas lighted and
showed up to good advantage The
Bridge of All Nations, which spans
Guild's Lake, was fairly covered with
lights which extended clear to the
surface of the water. Along the rail
ings the electric globes were stretched,
the lights extending beneath the struc
ture producing a new effect as they
were reflected back by the water.
In the lake In front of the terrace a
few of the submarinlights were tried,
producing golden and silver hues.
"When the water was .disturbed by oars
in the hands of the workmen who were
on the lake In boats -it looked as though
ihe water was afire and filled with
sparkling gems.
About 60;000 lights were turned on last
night whfch is more than the total
number of lights burned in the City
of Portland. When all the wires have
been connected there will be 100.000
lights in the display. It is hoped that
by Monday the Government building
and the few remaining state buildings
will have been connected.
The lights at the Exposition grounds
were turned on at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon so as to give the electricians
time to remedy any defects that might
appear. However, the system seemed
to be perfect. A few of the lights did
not burn at first, but they were speed
ily replaced by others. The circuit was
shut off at 10 o'clock. The lights are
turned on all at the same time by de
grees and "it takes several minutes be
fore the electricity is full force.
LONG HORSEBACK JOURXEY.
Two Men Would Ride From New
York to Portland.
Jack Minnick, the Texas cowboy, and
"Will Rogers, the greatest trick roper in
the world, who have recently created such
a sensation in the Madison-Square Gar
dens, in New York, through their thrilling
feats of "Western horsemanship, want to
attend the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
and with thai idea in view have written to
the Fair management stating they are
anxious to make the trip from New York
to Portland on horseback. Minnick and
Rogers have Just completed their engage
ment In New York, and Jn the communica
tion to the Fair officials state that they
have heard so much about the Exposition
that they would like to attend.
They say that they would rather ride
to Portland on horses than travel on tha
railroads. They have estimated that
they can make the journey from New
York to Portland in lcss than 90 days. If
It is decided to have them come they will
leave the "Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on their
horses within a few days, so that they
will arrive at the Exposition in August,
when the Fair will be in full progress. It
has been learned that the New York
friends of the cowboys propose to give
them a -big sand-oft when they leave for
Portland. A banquet will be glx-en them
at the Waldorf-Astoria Immediately beroro
they start for the West.
They will be attired In full cowboy dress
and at every town they pass through they
will stop long enough to acquaint the peo
ple of the nature of their journey and
their destination. Minnick and Rogers, af
ter selecting their route and the nature of
the country through which they will trav
el, say that they can make on an average
about 53 miles a day. They will ride
their horses until they are thoroughly ex
hausted, and then they will purchase new
mounts, so as to minimize the delays they
will have to experience. Fresh horses, or
dered in advance, will be waiting for
them t the different towns they pass
through.
Jack Minnick is one of the most wide
ly known characters of the Southwest,
and is said to be a personal friend of
President Roosevelt, whom he met when
the Chief Executive was on one of his
hunting trips in Texas. Minnick Is famous
as a rider, and Is said to be one of the
best all-around shots in America. He also
has gained considerable notoriety through
bronco-busting, in which Jie has no su
perior. The two cowboys ask that their
expenses be paid, and the Fair officials
are negotiating with them.

Marshal Reed Makes Complete
. Sweep of Office.
L C. DRIGGS HIS NEW CHIEF
Others for the' Places Made Vacant
Have Not Been Announced, But
Will. Be Shortly by tho
New. Officer.
Under the law. the positions of the
office force of W. F. Matthews having
expired simultaneously with the latter's
removal from the office of United States
Marshal, all were yesterday afternoon
notified by Marshal Reed that their
services wouid no longer be required,
it being the intention of the new ap
pointee to. Till their places -with men
of his own selection.
Mr. Reed 'stated last night that L. C
Drlggs, a well-known local resident,
would become his chief deputy, but
outside of that he had not decided
upon any other appointments.
Drlggs has already had considerable
experience In the office, and is consid
ered eminently qualified to fill the' posi
tion of chief deputy, having occupied
the place for 12 years under various
administrations. He was appointed
first by United States Marshal John
Myers in 1SS6, and served through the
consecutlverterms of Myers. L. T. Barm
and H. C vGrady. Since his retirement
to private life lie has been engaged in
the Teal estate and insurance business
here.
Thqse affected, by. Mr. Reed's action
yesterday were Chief Deputy P. A.
Worthington and' Deputies James "Wil
son. Jacob Proebstel and L. N. Blowers.
While considerably surprised, the fail
ure of United States Marshal Reed to
reappoint them was not entirely unex
pected, all hands taking the matter as
ni 1 1 nr,a rvta leal 1 v as possible under the
REACH IT?
Reed preferred to be surrounded by
nien of his own selection.
Three of the deputies who failed of
reappointment have been long In the
Government service. Of these, P. A.
Worthington was appointed chief dep
uty by Zoeth Howser when the latter
took the oath of office December 7,
189t. Worthington served through
Howser's administration and was reap
pointed by W. F. Matthews, serving in
the same capacity until yesterday.
J. A. Wilson was also an office dep
uty under Howser, retaining the place
"when Matthews went In.
Jacob Proebstel has also seen consid
erable service, having been appointed
by Howser and retained by Matthews,
while L. N. Blowers was comparatively
new, having been appointed about a
year ago to the position made vacant
by the resignation of A. A. Roberts.
Breathing of the Hindoos.
Dr. EmilyNoble, of San Francisco, lec
tured last night before the members- of
the Portland Camera Club. DrC Noble
first thought of giving an Illustrated lec
ture on India, but, owing to the lantern
being out of repair, she gave an informal
talk instead on the breathing of the Hin
doos. Dr. Noble declared that she visited
India and took with her something like
six tons of machinery, for the purpose of
studying diseases, but she declared that
she found the 'natives knew better how
to stay well than Caucasians knew, how
to get welL
The lecturer declared that breathing was
the secret of life, and that the Hindoo,
and. In fact, all of the Orientals, saade
& study ami an art of breathing. The
Hindoo. Dr. Noble declared, had a saying
that to breathe wholly Is to he wholly
alive, and to half breathe was to be only
half alive. The .mistake the people make.
declared the doctor, was that In breathing
most persons used the upper part of ae
lungs c-nly, when. In fact, they should
breathe with the stomach and upward,
using tho lower lobes of the lungs as well
as the upper lobes. Master Van Winkle
sang a solo before the lecture began.

PETITION SENT IN
Plan to Abolish Saloons Near
Fair Started.
MANY SIGN THE DOCUMENT
District Not So Iarge as Was at First
"Reported in Which It Is De
signed to Stop Liquor, Sales
by tho Initiative.
Petitions bearing the names of 3144
voters In the City of Portland were
filed with the City Auditor yesterday
afternoon by those interested in the
movement to close saloons in the vicin
ity of the Exposition. The petitions
and the proposed ordinance will be
submitted to a special meeting of the
Council to be held at 10 o'clock this
morning, at which many of the sup
porters of the measure will be In at
tendance. To eecure proper consideration by
the Council, it-was necessary that tne
petitions have at least 2250 names of
voters, but the backers of the move
ment deemed it advisable' to be on tho
safe side, and secured 3144 signatures.
Several more petitions are still out
among workers, and these it is expect
ed will have' about 200 more names,
which may be added to those already
In the hands of the Auditor before th
Council meeting this morning. Special
efforts have been made to secura
names, the eligibility of which Is be
yond question, and those who hav
been circulating the papers believe that
a very small percentage will be thrown
out. Even .to defeat the purpose at
the petition, it would be necessary. to
throw out dne name out of every threi,
and this Is deemed highly jmprobable.
The Council "will, meet at 10 o'clock,
and receive the petition. Unless some
thing unforseen occurs, the proposed
ordinance will be ordered submitted to
the voters at the election to be held on
June 5, In accordance with the provi
sion of the Charter. It has been ru
mored that efforts-will be made to.hav
the Council sidetrack the measure In
some way. but this Is also deemed Im
probable by those in charge of the
movement
I would like to have It understood
that we are not putting the prohibition
line a halt mile from the Fair grounds."
said E. O. Miller yesterday, one of
those active In the circulating of the
petitions. "The grounds extend to
Twenty-fourth street on the east, and
to Thurman street on the south, and
we simply went two blocks further in
both cases, to Twenty-second street on
the east and to Raleigh street on the
south. It does not seem to me that
this is very unreasonable.
"Other great fairs have been with
out saloons at the entrances, and" the
Lewis and Clark Exposition should be
likewise. People who have been at the
Eastern expositions would soon notice
how the liquor traffic was carried on
"right In the gates of our Fair. This
certainly would be an undesirable con
dition. "I do not have much doubt but that
public opinion will secure the passage
of the proposed ordinance when it
comes to the vote, I believe that the
majority of ,men In the city will vote
favorably for the measure and secure
the abolition of the objectionable
places."
If the proposed ordinance Is carried by
the people at the June election. 23 saloons
"will be put out of business. Of this num
ber, 12 have been estaDiisnca ior more
than six months, some even for 15 or 16
years. The remaining 11 have been estab
lished this year, apparently. It Is claimed
by the persons- interested In the ordinance,
for the Exposition trade only. The names
and locations .of the saloons follow:

City Offenders Before
Municipal Judge Hogue
Four saloonkeepers were before Judge
Hogue yesterday, charged with having
kept open their establishments on the
day of the primary election. Each was
ready with an excuse, more or less laugh
able. One was sick and sitting in the front
door of his saloon, awaiting the arrival
of a physician.
Another was so accommodating to his
tenants that he opened his saloon "door to
let them in, that they might get their
mall.
Still another had a plumber in his esH
tabllshmcnt. Installing a ,new beer pump,
and the fourth was confronted by twd
men so thirsty that to deny them a
drink would have been cruel and Inhu
man. All but one of the defendants were dis
charged, but each was told he must never
again be guilty, even of technical viola
tion of l&w.
J. Fuog's saloon, Taylor street, between
Front and First, was found open by Pa
trolman Wendorf. who had been to In
vestigate A. Anderlini's establishment.
"What does this mean?" asked Wen
dorf of Fuog, who was seated In the front
door of his establishment.
"Why,k I'm sick and am awaiting for
the doctor to come," was the calm reply.
"Well, you can't keep your saloon open
today," said Wendorf. "Will you close,
or not?"
"I'll close," said Fuog, and he did so
immediately.
Judge Hogue and Deputy City Attor
ney Fitzgerald thought Fuog was not
guilty of a very serious offense; he had
never been before the court previously,
and he was dismissed, with thev admoni
tion to be careful In the future.
At A. Anderlini's saloon. Second and
Taylor streets, Wendorf found what ap
pealed to him as a peculiar state of af
fairs. The front door was closed, but
the rear door was open. He entered, and
found what appeared to be a barber shop.
In fact, he was Informed by a. man who
was there that it was such.
"I walked a little farther," said Wen
dorf, In telling of the case, "and found
a curtain. I lifted It, and saw two men
standing at the bar, being served by a
bartender. 'Wat is the meaning of this?
I asked." -

Vigorous Health. Is the Great Seure of
tha Power to Inspire and Encourage
-AH "Women Should Seek It.
One of the most noted, successful and
richest men of this century, in a recent
article, has said, " "Whatever T am and
whatever success I have attained in.
this world I owe all to my wife. From
theday I first knew her she has been
an inspiration, and the greatest help
mate of my life."
To be such a successful wife, to re
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are flagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg
ularities or the blues, she should start
at once to build up her system by a
tonic with specific powers, such as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Following we publish y request a
letter from a young wife :
Dear Mrs . Pinknam :
" Ever since my child was born I have suf
fered, as I hope few women ever haxa, with in
flammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made mea well woman, and I feel so grateful
that I am glad to write and tell you of my
marvelous recovery. It brouefet me health,
new life and vitality." Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,

judging from his attitude for awhile
However, llr. Fitzgerald stated that
Schmidt had always conducted a good
resort; had never been in any trouble,
and It would be a good policy for the
city to encourage such saloonkeepers.
Hence the dismissal of the Schmidt
charge.
And then came H. Breiter, who "has a
saloon at Russell street and Mississippi
avenue. Patrolman Croxford found men
In that place, drinking. Breiter explained
that the only men he had there were
plumbers. They had been Installing a
beer pump. He thought he was well
within 'the law, he said, but, he was
fined $15.
"I do not feel like asking for heavy
fines against these men." said Deputy
City Attorney Fitzgerald. "They have
obeyed the law pretty well for many
years, and have run orderly places. As
a matter of fact, the most violations of
the primary-closing law were by persons
who gave away liquor from blacksmith
shops and such places. Many complaints
were made to me, but as the law applies
only to saloonkeepers, I had no way to
get at the violators. As a general rule,
the saloonmen kept the law well primary

for his release from a charge of vagrancy.
Bartlett was arrested by Detective Snow

he purchased It from an unknown man,
"for the price of a feed."
