D on ell and Others.
With a Trhoop and e hurrah the Third
"Ward Republican Club opened the fire of
the campaign last evening In the open air,
it the corner of Sixth and Stark streets.
T"ie rally was conducted by S. C. Spen
cer, president of the club, -who made an
excellent presiding officer. Despite counter
neighboring attractions, a multitude
thronged the streets and gave -willing ear
and eager acclamation to all the proceed
ings, -which -were enlhcned by vocal ren
ditions from the Oregon Quartet and J.
E .Malnes. The former, natural-born vo
calists, brlmfull of humorous campaign
songs, fully served the purpose Intended,
-aLile the speakers indhldually proclaimed
their allegiance to the Republican party.
Its doctrines and all the Stars and Stripes
stands for.
Preliminary to the opening of the rally,
the Brown Military Band had paraded
mary of the streets to arouse the people.
It had Its effect. The band ceased playing
upon the meeting ground, and the con
course -was left to manifest Its interest and
picasuro In the proceedings.
Chairman Spencer, after explaining the
purpore of the meeting. Introduced Mr. J.
M. Long, the Republican nominee for City
Attorney, who riveted the attention of all
within hearing for fully 40 minutes. The
trend of his remarks -was in the nature of
an Inquiry as to whether the people would
stay with the Government, or stand by and
ai ow the flag to be torn down and trailed
r the dust. Kls peroration met with tu
r u tuous applause.
Others who spoke during the rally were
J D. Mann, H. S. Rowe, candidate for
Mnjor; Otto J. Kraemer, candidate for
JitIco of the Peace; T. Scott Brooke,
c ndidate for County Treasurer; Captain
C flrles E. McDonell, candidate for As

Rasd, candidate for Coroner: J. G. Mack,
cmaidate for County Commissioner, and
C. W. Gay, candidate for Representative.
A series, of pictures of candidates was
f jrhed on a screen near bj during the
ceeting, and a picture of Mayor Storey
r.as faintly cheered by a few small boys,
T ho it was said were subsidized by Hiz
zicr for that purpose.
IK A1JD ABOUT PORTLAND.
-Commercial Clcb Mnsicale.
A very pleasant musicale was given by
tl e members of the Commercial Club at
t pir rooms in the Chamber of Commerco
building last evening, that was evidently
much appreciated by the large number of
c -b member and their friends presant.
Ihc committee in charge of the entertain
rrunt, at the head of which were President
li M. Cake and F. G. Buffum, spared no
pains to .make the entertainment a suc
cess Tnc social evening was entirely in
' rmal, all the clubrooms being thrown
oien for the diversion of those present.
Ihe music furnhed was excellent. The
Columbia Students, a string quartet, con
f'stlng of the mandolin, violin, "cello and
guitar, furnished many pleasing numbers,
and were well deserving the hearty ap
preciation shown. Dr. W. A. Cummlng
.aiT st cral bass solos, his "In Dreams"
and "LiOe's Sorrows" receiving spontane
ous rt calls. Laurln Pease eang in his
pleasing tenor voice, De Koven's "Only In
Dream', " and as en encore sang, "Tell
Her I Love Her So." His second number,
though late in the evening, was a gem.
"Night Time," and as an encore. "Apple
kBossoms," were sung most acceptably.
Ralph Hoyt was the accompanist offhe
evening, and filled the position with his
usual musical accuracy.
The ofllciols of the Commercial Club
seem to have struck the .right chord.
"While the club is essentially a business
mans club, the committee on entertain
ments seems to grapp the idea that there
are several long eenirgs ahead of the
members during the approaching holiday
season, when families are scattered to the
mountains and the coast resorts, and these
musicales will fill in many a lonesome
eicning for the etay-at-homes. The suc
cess of last night's song -recital but insures
to the members several more of like qual
tj during the coming Summer.
Turners' Excursion.
The Turners railroad excursion to
Mount Angel and StUerton next Sunday
promises to be very popular. Elaborate
arrangements for the pleasure and com
f rt of their patrons have been made.
There wl'I be a concert all afternoon by
the Silverton brass band, and for the lov.
ers of dancing ample provision has been
made. Lunch baskets will be in order In
the legular old-fashioned picnic style, and
all kinds of refreshments can be procured
a the park. One of the features of this
excursion Mill be stop-over privileges at
Mount Angel, where a baseball game be
tween teams from Portland and Mount
Angel Is one of the probabilities. As the
coaches will be limited in number, it
would be well to buy tickets early. Pas
sengers will not be allowed on board the
train without a ticket. Trains will leae
Portland at 8:45 A. M., and returning, leave
SIKerton at C P. M., and Mount Angel at
6.03 P. M.
Dairy Business Booming:.
State Food Commissioner Bailey, who
returned from a trip up the "Willamette
Valley yesterday, ays Salem shipped a
carload of butter last week to northern
points, and this butter brought Its makers
17 cents a pound.
"A carload of butter sent out from a
farming country," Mr. Bailey said, "means
a whole lot of money being distributed
among the tillers of the soIL The exter
mination of process butter from the Ore
gon market la largely responsible for
tMs, and If we can keep this stuff out.
dairymen will do tho rest. The recent
prosecutions of process butter Importers
has had a salutary effect on the trade,
and I propose to keep It up until Oregon
becomes a regular exporter of butter, in
stead of an importer."
Sa?s She Seeds Cash.
A talk elderly woman, with a foreign
accent. Is begging in South Portland. She
goes from house to house, knocking at
the back doors, and tells of having 13
grandchildren to support, a son-fn-law
bti-g dead, etc. "When asked why ehe docs

she says 3he needs cash, and that the
Board does not furnish this. She repre

Portland Heights.
Alaska Code Bill.
President Taylor, of the Chamber of
Commerce, yesterday receled the follow

years, and his church change is regretted
by many of his friends, who are in the
church he served.
VeKetarlRBB.
Vegetarians have quite a large follow
ing in this city. Their monthly meeting
on last Tuesday evening was very Inter
esting. Mr. Galveni being absent, Mrs.
C A. Dean, presided and opened the ex
ercises by reciting one of her beautiful,
inspirational poems, "Come up Higher."
Dr. "W. F. Hubbard gave a thought-awakening,
extemporaneous address, taking
the title of the poem for his theme. Every
one present pronounced Jt to be the finest
address they had yet listened to on "veg
etarianism. A most enjoyable part of tho
programme was the singing by Mrs. El
nora Coovert. The public is always cor
dially welcomed at these meetings, whlca
take place the first Tuesday in every
month at the "World's Advance Thought
parlors, 193 Sixth street.
Safe Refnsed to Be Opened.
Deputy City Treasurer "Werlein had aa
experience jesterday that Illustrates the
caprices of time locks. "When he attempt
ed to open the safe in the morning he
found it would not yield to. the usual
twists and turns of the knobs. In vain he
strove to touch the magic spot. The cafe
stubbornly clasped Its treasures, and none
could molest them. Some good-sized
sledge hammers were procured as per
suaders. The door was gently jolted to
loosen whatever bad hung, but still there
was no opening. As only small change
was in tho cafe. It was determined at last
to await the running down of the time
lock, which will occur some time Monday.
Then it is hoped that the difficulty may
be overcome without the necessity of em
ploying a professional afe man.
More Thnga t "Worlc
Two hold-ups were reported to the police
from the East Side, last night, though the
thugs did not get rich in the business.
Charles O'Connor, who resides at 714 East
Burnside street, was stopped by two men
at East Ankeny and East Ninth and or
dered to throw up hie hands. He complied,
and they tooK $3 and three pocket knives
from him. This was at 10:45. Twenty-five
minutes later, Charles Nordstrom was
stopped at Rodney avenue and Tillamook
street and relieved of $4 0. From the de

A GLANCE ' BACKWARDS
"OCT WITH THE OLD, IS WITH THE
NEW."
A Little Plans TalU, a. Little History,
Some Politics and Soae
Benqaet.
Tomorrow morning we commence at
our old Stand. 1U7 First street, a cioslng
out sale of our entire stock of Chlckeiing,
Weber, Kimball and other pianos and or
gans, fuil particulars of wnich will be
tound in advertisement on seventh page of
this issue. This sale is not a "removal
sale" in the ordinary sense of the term.
Tfeese tremendous reauctions are not made
simply to avoid paying the couple of do.
lars it wouid cost to haul each piano from
the old store to the new. Far from it.
We are going into the finest building ev er
erected tor tne piano and organ business
in the West. We will have not only the
finest and best-lighted store, but a build
ing specially erected for our purpose, and
exactly adapted to every requirement of a
rapidly growing wholesale and retail pi
ano and organ business. "We will not go
Into details at this time, but suffice it to
say that it is our intention, when we open
the doors of our new quarters, to display
the most complete stock of line-selected
Chlckering, "Weber, Kimball and other line
pianos, and every Instrument Is to be a
brand-new one, direct from factory.
Furthermore, during the four months'
shut-down of the Kimball factories, in
Chicago, we contracted for a large num
ber of other makes to supply our retail
trade, and now that our regular factories
are running again, these outside pianos
will not be required. For these reasons
we have decided tc close out our entire
First-street stock of new and second-hand
pianos, the sale of which starts tomorrow.
When we discount. It counts, and when
we say "cut prices," we mean "cut
prices," and not mere half-hearted whit
tling. The greatest bargains ever to be
had in Portland will obtain during this
sale, and if your home Is without a piano,
or If you are renting an instrument, let
us advise you to look into this.
Now, a look backward may not be
amiss. What a struggle It seemed at first
for the "little store on the edge of China
town," (as they called it then), to gain
recognition. Never an enterprise was
started in the United States that encoun
tered the downright opposition that was
accorded this one. Very 6lowly at first,
then at a quicker pace, it pushed its way
to the front. Store became too small.
It overflowed, into a warehouse, that
became too small; It rented stfil -another
warehouse, and then a third place, for
storage, had to be rented. Then the
contract for the magnificent new building
was made with Mr. Scott Brooke (he's
running for the County Treasurer's offlce.
and an excellent Treasurer he'll make,
too), and the building now is nearly ready
for occupancy.
"Old-timers," who recalled the Coast
booms, looked with amazement on this
gigantic progress, and said: "Phenome
nal." Oh, pshaw1 Nothing "phenomenal"
about it. Do men gather "figs from
thistles""' or "reap where they have not
sown?" Like Topsy, the Eilers piano
house growed. simply because it couldn't
help It. It preached and practiced "tho

and confiding purchaser an out

money. The one great powerful and all
pervading element of the enormous suc
cess of the Eilers Piano House will live
In the future as that in the past, in ster

most artistic of all fine pianos made in
New York, and then the now world-famous

pany, of Chicago, the most up-to-date
and progressive American piano manufac

ital, and have the finest, and most-extensive
plant, and the most superb facili

organs and pipe-organs. And owing to
many special advantages It possesses,
Eilers Piano House Is enabled to handle
and supoly such as these world-renowned,
pianos for less money than any one else

And now we take another etep forward.

times its present dimensions. The build

MODEL RABBITRY OPENED,
Fine Stoclc of Belgian Hares Im
ported From Los Angrcles.
The extent to which Interest in Bel
gian hares in Portland has been awakened
Is evidenced by the fact that a very fine
Importation of the animals was made last
week by the Los Angeles Belgian Hare
Company, which has established a model
rabbltry at 249 Fifth street. The stock
is very large, and consists chiefly of the
Lord Britlan strain, the premier being
Brltlan Fox, son of Lord Britlan, and
since the death of that sire the best liv
ing representative of the strain wnrinp
35 per cent. In the stock are also several
nign-sconng aoes imported from England,
among them being Fairy Dash, daughter
of ChamDion Dash, winner of a hnlton
medal and 22 special medals; Helen Brlt-
lan, nair-sister of .Britain Fox, and Lady
Dexter, all of which score above S4 points.
Besides these are several hundred hares
of the finest strains, and the collection
comprises one of tho finest rabbltries on
the coast. Messrs. Key and Conkey, the
managers of tho company, have had much
experience in the breeding of hares. ail

A PROFESSIONAL WOMAN.
Experiments Made With Food.
A certain professional woman In New
York, connected with one of the large in
stitutions there, has had a curious experi
ence with an experiment in using a cer
tain kind of food. It seems that in Octo
ber last she had a serious illness and was
at the point of death, the brain and body
in the last stages of exhaustion. Her re
markable experience with the food was
brought to the attention of the makers by
some of her friends, and, in reply to a
letter, she wrote as follows:
"I have no objection to the public
knowing of tho wonderful transformation
my system has undergone by the uso of
Grape-Nuts since November, 1SS9. I be
gan using the food when convalescing and
when in an exceeding low condition, and
used a small quantity and became so
fascinated with the flavor that I gradual
ly discontinued nearly all other food. In
cluding tea and coffee.
"Up to now I have consumed about 150
packages and have gained 20 pounds in
flesh. Am a marvel to all my friends who
are aware of my former state of health.
There are about 0 families who have,
adopted the use of Grape-Nuts because
of my experience. You can give my name
and home address, but do not mention
my professional connection." Mrs. E. N.
Wood, S22 Amsterdam avenue. New York
City.
There is a reason. The makers of
Grape-Nuts select certain parts of the
grains of the field that contain delicate
particles of phosphate of potash and albu
men. These elements, when combined in
the human body, go directly to rebuild the
gray matter In the brain and nerve cen
ters of the body.
This Is a demonstrated fact and can be
proven by any one who cares to make the
test. When one nourishes and builds up
the brain and nerve centers, that is prac
tically the keynote to the whole health
proposition, for when tho nervous system
Is in perfect poise, all parts of the body
respond. "
Grape-Nuts are for rale at all the large
grocery stores In the country and can be
found in use in practically all of the best
families in America,
strains and grades. They take the name
of the Los Angeles Hare Company only
because Xhtt most of their stock is Im
ported from "that great center of this new
Industry, andJnotbecause they do not In
tend to be kxown as a distinctively Port
land concert.
Their rabbltry will be opened for busf-
ness -tomorrow, and will no doubt bo
crowded by the many Portland breeders
who are anxious to Increase their stocks.

FHEE KINDERGARTENS!
.
AbbbbI "Sleeting Xext Tnesday Ef
fort te Increase the "Worlc
The annual meeting of the Free Kin
dergarten Association -will take place next ,
Tuesday afternoon, at the Portland Acad- J
cmy. A business meeting will be held at
4 o'clock, which will be very short, after !
j which there will be an Interesting pro- I
gramme, and it is nopea teat an inenas i
of the free- kindergartens will be present. I
The principal huslness to come up will
be the election of 11 managers, or direc
tors. There are 15 in this body, five being
elected annually! and serve for three
years each. No election was held last
year, howeyer, and, with those expiring
this year and the one officer absent from
the city, there are altogether 11 vacancies
to be filled.
The talent for the exercises is to be had
chiefly from the kindergarten on Seven
teenth and. Market streets. There will
also be papers read by the principals of
the schools under the association's charge,
and an address on the principles and ben
efits of free kindergartens by D. Soils
Cohen.
The Free 'Kindergarten Association sup
ports and manages three schools for the
young children, but It formerly controlled
four, which is the least number a city
of Portland's size should have. During
he hard times people dropped their sub
scriptions, and the reducing of the num
ber of schools therefore became neces
sary. The cost of running a kindergarten
is not trivial, by any means, averaging.
as it does, about $50 a month. When It'
is remembered that they are open for
about 10 months a year. It will readily be
seen that the cost of the system amounts
to considerable. A great effort will be
made this year, though, to raise the
schools up to their former number, which
will doubtless be accomplished.
WILL ENFORCE BICYCLE TAX
Starste Imperative oa Sheriff and
County Commissioners.
The bicycle tax will be delinquent on
May IS, and the County Commissioners
will doubtless order the Sheriff to enforce
collections. Tho statute provides that at
the expiration of 66 days after the col
lection of the tax is "begun, the same shall
become delinquent, and a penalty of $1
shall be exacted. The authorities have no
discretion but to enforce the law, and it
is made the duty of tho Sheriff and Board
of County Commissioners to collect and
disburse the money.
It is not desired to put wheelmen to
any expense, and It Is much preferred that
ffiey call and pay voluntarily. Personally,
It Is a matter of no Importance to the
Sheriff whether the tax Is collected or
not, but It Is his duty to obey the statute.
Bicyclists can not have bicycle paths If
they do not pay up. There was much en
thusiasm among wheelmen concerning
paths something over a year ago, and, n
fact. It was at the solicitation and re
quest of bicycle riders that the law was
passed. It, of course, would not be fair
that a few pay and others not.

GILT-EDGE OPPORTUNITY.
Chance to Get In oa the Ground
Floor.
Fortunes are being made every day in
the California oil fields, especially In
Kings County, where they are getting so
many large flowing wells of oil.
Here is the chance of a lifetime. The
Iowa Oil Company Is now sinking a well
on section 4. township 22 south, range 17
east, in Kings County, California, and
have struck oil at a little over 100 feet.
They expect to strike a big flow of oil
at abodt 1000 feet, and as they are In
need of more money In order to continue
boring, they have placed a limited amount
of stock for sale with J. P. McKenna at
205 Marquam building. The company has
200,000 shares of treasury stock for de
veloping purposes. So it Is obvious that
it will never become necessary to assess
the capital stock of the Iowa Oil Com
pany for any purpose. Those that buy
