John Milton Hodson, -worshipful grand master of the Masons of Oregon, attended by the other grand officers of the order In the state, and escorted by the Knights Templar In uniform, will place In position the stone that marks a new era in the history of the Good Samaritan Hospital. It Is ex pected that the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Elks, United Artisans, "Woodmen of the "World, Bed Men and Foresters will be present In regalia, and all the other fraternal and benevolent orders In Port land will be represented In numbers or at least a delegation. The other friends of the hospital who have labored to fur ther Its benevolent work In the past and witnessed the far-reachlug results of Its Influence, will not be the less conspicuous because not banded together In an or ganization. The ceremony of beginning the recon struction of an institution so long and usefully identified with the city and state calls for great solemnity. Peculiar Inter est attaches to the event because of the fact that the man who 26 years ago prac tically bullded the Good Samaritan will deliver an historical address, and close the ceremony with a benediction. This man Is Right Rev. B. "Wistar Morris, bishop of the Oregon diocese In the Episco pal chuich. He clambered through the dense thicket and woods away back from Portland, staked out a tract of land, had it cleared and labored Incessantly until there was reared upon It a most Impos ing building for a young city. Twenty six years ago on Ascension day, the same as the 26th of May this year. Bishop Morris laid the corner-stone of that building. Thursday he will attend while the first era of tho hospital's history closes and a new epoch is marked, during which the institution again promises to rise to meet the ever-increasing demands of a metrop olis. The ceremony will open with a proces sional, led by a choir. Bev. John E. Simpson, chaplain of the hospital, will deliver an Invocation, which will be fol lowed "by the laying of the corner-stone by Grand Master Hodson. The historical cketch by Bishop Morris, an address by Bev. J. P. D. Ll-njd. of Seattle, and bene diction by Bishop Morris, will close the programme. The Good Samaritan Hospital as now planned will be a credit to Portland. A la 'go, substantial brick building, 200x250 feet In dimensions, sightly, convenient, airy and fitted with every modern appli ance known to the medical fraternity as a useful addition to a hospital, it will constitute one of the attractions for -visitors and draw to Portland large numbers of people for treatment. As now con templated. It will accommodate 200 pa tients. The architects In charge have visited the East, Montreal and San Fran cisco, and will adapt from the hospitals there whatever adds to the usefulness and convenience of such an Institution. An especial effort Is being made among the fraternal and benevolent orders to bi largely represented at the laying of the corner-stone. The time for preparation is short, but the volume of enthusiasm al ready manifest promises a noteworthy turn-out. Arrangements have been made with the Po-tland Street Bailway Com pany to furnish these orders special cars if they care to attend In bodies in that manner. Application for such service at the comrany's office. First and "Washing ton streets, -nill meet with prompt com pliance. Good Samaritan's valuable work In the past insures a large and cordial attendance at this Important ceremony, which Inaugurates the second stage of Its career. TONGUE IS COMMENDED. Indian "War Veterans Discuss a Re port and Then Pass Resolutions. The semiannual meeting of Multnomah camp, Indian War Veterans, yesterday afternoon, suddenly changed into a holly contested pollt-cal debate on the merits of Representative Tongue. It came at the end of the report of Captain H. A. Hogue, which dealt with the recently defeated pension bill, and which concluded with tho following paragraph: "I favor giving praise or censure where it belongs. I feel, from the knowledge tnd understanding I have of Congressman Tongue's friendship and work done by him to secure favorable acUon on this bill, he should have our thaaks and sup port aa our trua and best friend In the House. Censure the House; those mem bers from this Coast and other states having constituents Interested In the pass age of this bill; the Speaker of the House, ex-Speaker Reed, the committee on rules and the political managers of the party In power or Administration, if you please, but do not strike at him who has worked so zealously and faithfully for us and who, from his experience and knowledge of the merits of our bill, can accomplish more for its ultimate euccees than all the rest of tho members from this Northwest Coast." One of the veterans moved that the re port be received, approved and filed, when several old war horses shouted their dis approval and endeavored to epeak at one time. They wanted the word "approved" stricken out of the motion. During the .discussion, several strong speeches were jnade for and against the motion, and in the interests of harmonv the word "ap proved" was stricken out. and the mo tion, thus amended, passed. Less than 10 minutes later Captain A B. Stuart introduced a resolution com mending the work of Representative Tongue and declaring him the friend of the Indian War Veterans, which was passed unanimously. Little else -was done at the meeting. The treasurer's report showed a total expen diture of $180 15 and $35 25 now on hand. It was decided to tender a banquet to the Grand Encampment at Portland on June 1. Captain J. H. McMillen, A J. Donald son and Captain A B. Stuart were ap pointed as . committee to secure money for the same, with instructions to seo the political candidates. A woman's relief committee was appointed to assist in the came, cons'stlng of Mesdames J. H. Mc Millen, Billion. Wtehard. Edward Cbam breau. T. M. Parrlsh, T. A "Wood. H. A Hogue and Misses Stuart and Donaldson. The following were elected to represent Multnomah camp at the Grand Encamp mentr Parrlsh, Castleman, Baker, Men denhall, Storran. Courtney, "Wilson, Gray, Kicklln and BllLon. MORE BRONZE IS NEEDED. Button Committee "Will Bore Cap tured Cannon Agratn. So great has been the sale of souvenir buttons that another boring will have to bo made Into the Manila cannon. Leal. Already 10,000 of the buttons have been turned out. most of which are sold, and tho demand grows. Patriotic interest in the monument is making the wearing of souvenir buttons a fad that will doubtless spread as the supply enables more persons to procure them. Orders havo been com ing from all over the state, but unfortu nately not more than 20 to 23 per cent of each could be filled at a time. More but tons are promised by the committee as soon as they are turned out, which will be shortly, as work is still being rushed night and day. By the boring to be made Immediately a large quantity of bronze will be secured that will yield several thousand more buttons. Much of the bronze secured from the first boring was used for the large medals to be Issued by the state to each .of the volunteers serving under the state's, title during the Spanish "War and Filipino In surrection. Since the committee has been providing the buttons with pins so they may be worn by women, an increased demand has arisen. The women, true to the same patriotic instincts that brought about the organization of the Red Cross, lend their efforts in effecting sales. Gen eral Summers states that he has already made arrangements with the "Wolff & Zwlcker Iron "Works for the next bor ing, so that work will not be delayed. MRS. ALICE WELLS DEAD. Stamp Cleric at the Postofflce for Trrelve Successive Years. One of Portland's kindest and best loved public servants has passed to her final rest. No one who has visited the Postofflce on business the past dozen years will forget the sympathetic face, business demeanor and respectful manner of Mrs. Alice L. "Wells .at the stamp win dow. But that memory Is all that Is left the public now, as Mrs. "Wells died yes terday afternoon at her home, 352 Second street. Every employe at the Postofflce mourns her loss, but not more than the appreciative and grateful public, to whom the familiar face and volco became en deared as a conspicuous example of mod est, faithful womanhood. It was at the beginning of President Cleveland's first administration, 13 years ago, that Mrs. "Wells received her ap pointment as stamp clerk at the Post office. The change of Administration did not affect her, as her work was ever with out fault, and no bitter partisan could have constrained his conscience to ask her removal. She was always at her post for over 12 years successively. About two years ago she became afflicted with sci atica, or, more properly, neuritis, which was probably superinduced, or at least aggravated, by the nature of her work, which required so much standing. For the first six months Mrs. "Wells remained at her post without yielding, but finally broke down, and for the past 19 months has been confined to her home, with little hope of recovery, during most of the time not being able to leave her bed. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon her suffer ing came to an end and a useful life closed. Mrs. "Wells was born In Virginia, 'Au gust 2. 1847. In 1871 she married Dr. John T. "Wells, then a very promising physi cian of that state. Dr. Wells was a sur geon in the Navy, and soon after the marriage was ordered to the Mare Island station, to which place his wife accom panied him. They lived there for a few years, until Dr. Wells resigned from the Navy and took up the practice of medi cine In San Francisco. From there tho couple came to Portland, where Dr. Wells soon became noted as one of the finest surgeons in the Northwest. His brother. Dr. G. M. Wells, Is now one of the promr nent physicians of the city, and Is tho Democratic nominee for the office o! Mayor. Tho couple reached Oregon In 1879. and early In 1SS2 Dr. John T. Wells died of consumption. Two children sur vive. Miss Alice and Edgar J. Wells, both of whom reside here. The funeral will be held Monday at 2 P. M. from the residence. LIGHT-FINGERED GENTRY. Pocket Valuable Chains While Buy ing: a Cheap One. Three smooth fellows called at the Heit kemper jewelry store, on Morrison street, last evening at S:43, and asked to see some gold chains. While dickering for the purchase of a cheap chain for $7, they managed to abstract two, valued at $22 SO each. The police were notified immediate ly, and by 10:S0 Detectives Day and Wein er had one of the thieves landed In tho City Jail, having come across him on North Sixth street. Day shortly after sighted another of the trio hovering sus piciously In the shadow of & doorway at Seventh and Davis, but when the fellow saw the detective he ran like a scared deer down Davis to Fifth, Day taking two shots at him in the chase. The fugitive managed to escape in the darkness of Fifth street. Tho chap arrested proves to be James Carter, who was one of Soapy Smith's gang at Skagway, a few years ago, and who served a term in the territorial prison at Sitka. The companion, whom Detec tive Day chased. Is Bob Burdette, alias Little Bob. Carter and Burdette both ar rived from San Francisco Friday, and were picked up by Day and Welner. They were ordered to leave town Immediately, and promised to do so, but failed to keep their word. The stolen chains were not recovered, and they are supposed to be on the person of Burdette. who escaped. LOW PASSENGER RATES. To All Points East.

The very finest piano ever shipped to Eastern Oregon was sold yesterday by Ellers Piano House to Mr. E. Y. Judd, of Pendleton. It was a Chlckering, of course, a small grand, in most beautiiully mottled or dappled San Domingo mahog any case, and cost a thousand dollars. Mr. Judd Is the head of the Pendleton Woolen Mills, and being a thoroughly ed ucated and accomplished musician, he has j done a great deal In encouraging educa- beautiful new organ," recently erected in the new Episcopal Church of Pendleton, was personally selected and purchased by him. and munificently donated to the church. At his home In Hartford. Conn.. Mr. Judd has a regularly equipped recital hall, furnished with a regulation con cert grand piano and a very fine two manual pipe organ. Unquestionably, Mr. Judd Is one of the best judges of piano values. He spent considerable time while East recently, in vestigating the merits of several different makes, but could find nothing that per fectly suited him, but just as soon as he had tried and examined the Chlcker ing at Ellers Piano House, he decided that It was exactly what he had been looking for, and he bought the piano Inside of ten minutes. While Ellers Piano House has sold quite a number of grands of late, there are only two grands exactly like the above here in Portland. The first was pur chased by Miss Helen Gruenberg, one of our most prominent local musicians, and the other was sold some time ago to the Aeolian Music Company, for Pianola Hall, where its superb tone qualities will be enthusiastically admired by thousands of listeners to the marvelous performances of the wonderful Pianola. Great victories over disease are daily won by Hood's Sarsaparllia. WHAT PORTLAND WANTS GREATEST NEED IS LIVE MEN OPENINGS FOR CAPITAL. A Leading? Financial Institution of the East Recognizes Portland's Claims for Attention. There Is no better evidence offered of the high financial rating of Portland In the East than is found in the recognition given the city by the great Insurance companies who have established head quarters for the Northwest at this point. These insurance organizations represent millions in assets, and the establishment of principal offices here havo been fol lowed by Investments of thousands of dollars In the gilt-edged securities of this market. One of the oldest and best-known In surance companies of the country today is the Washington Life Insurance Com pany, of New York. Established in 1SG0, its assets aggregate $16,000,000. and it has paid to policy-holders over $35,000,000. Con servative in Its methods, but always a progressive company, the establishment of its headquarters for the Pacific North west at Portland augurs much for the commercial and financial supremacy of this city. On the 1st Inst the Washington Life appointed MessTS. Scott & Livingston gen eral managers of the North Pacific de partment with head offices in this city. These gentlemen have Just opened large and well-appointed offices in the Chamber of Commerce building. Branch offices will be opened in Seattle. Tacoma, Spo kane and Boise, Idaho. ,JThe importance of the head offices at Portland can be appreciated by the statement that Messrs. Scott & Livingston will have entire charge of the vast territory embraced In tho states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Nevada. In this connection it may be pardon able to refer to the personality of the individual members of the firm of Port land managers. Mr. 3. T. Scott has a wide reputation as a well-posted and suc cessful insurance man. Mr. Livingston, his associate, formerly occupied an im portant position as agency director for Hooker & Co., of San Francisco. Tho management of the Washington Life Is not without testimonials of Its merit from the highest authorities In the country. Ex-VIce-PreBldent of the United States Levi P. Morton recently said of this company: "The Washington Life Is an institution of high standing, with a credit outranked by that of no similar in stitution In New York State." The in surance year book for 199 shows that the rate of Interest realized on the mean admitted assets of the Washington Life was 5.31 per cent W. A. Brewer, Jr. one of the oldest and most progressive of the life insurance presidents has been presiding officer of the Washington Life for more than 20 years. Mr. E. S. French, vice-president of the company, enjoys the distinction of being one of the most successful agency directors In America. On January 1 of this year the Washing ton Life started to write Imperial guar antee policies that are unrestricted and Incontestible after one year, being the best policies ever offered. The rates charged are very low, and the guarantees the highest of any Insurance company In America. The company Is up to date In everything new In the policy line, issu ing policies of nearly every kind and de scription. Messrs. Scott & LMngston are offering special Inducements to bright and in telligent gentlemen to secure remuner ative contracts with the North Pacific department They will be very glad to consider applications from Insurance men of ability who may apply at the head offices in the Chamber of Commerce build ing. PROSPERITY AT PRINEVILLE Resident of Croolc County Tells of High Prices for Stock. W. Wurzweller, a merchant of Prlne ville, reached Portland -via the new rail road town of Shanlko yesterday, though he did not succeed In boarding a train at. that point as he expected. He was, there fore, obliged to hire a private conveyance to take him to Spring Valley, some 34 miles further en. along the Columbia Southern, where his journey by wagon road ended. "The people of Prinevllle will be glad when they can be sure of a regular train service to Shanlko," Mr. WurzwelUr said, at the Imperial yesterday, "as It will shorten their stage ride and wagon haul by half. We have heretofore been com pelled to haul our freight a distance of 120 miles from The Dalles, but Shanlko Is only 60 miles away. Prinevllle people don't want the railroad to come any closer, however, as ours Is a stock country, and we are better off while the region is sparsely settled. The coming of the rail road means the settlement of the country by small farmers and a consequent re striction of sheep and cattle range." He has confidence, however. In the fut ure of Prinevllle. no matter how the rail roads act as a line passing through that portion of Central Oregon cannot leave Prinevllle out owing to the topography of the region. Prinevllle people are not wor rying much over the question of railroad or no railroad. High prices for cattle and sheep have brought prosperity to Crook County, Mr. Wurzweller says, and sheepmen who, a few years ago, considered themselves hard up, are now "away ahead of the hounds." He mentions one party who re cently sold $16,000 worth of sheep to a local buyer, and who has still several thousand head left Another party has disposed of 2000 head of 2-year-old wethers at $3 each, after taking the wool off. These sheep were sold to Eastern drovers. One thing that Is liable to hurry a rail road Into Crook County, according to Mr. Wurzweller. is the construction of a big irrigating ditch through xhe desert south of Prinevllle. This ditch is to be 50 miles long, and will have an abundant supply of water from the Deschutes River. The lev el region, long known as "the desert," will be transformed Into one of the heavi est producing regions in the Northwest by the application of water, and a railroad will, therefore become a necessity to move the products to market He feels sure this B. T. Scott. Irrigating system will be perfected ere long, as surveys are now being made and work of excavating has actually begun. The desert has long been used as Win ter range by Crook County stockmen, as considerable grass grows wild on Its level stretches. The distance to Tunning water 4s probably the reason of the appellation desert," and this peculiarity kept stock off the locality In the Summer time. Cat tle, sheep and horses ranging there In the Winter could usually find snow to eat, and thl3 alleviated the thirst. AT THE PATTON HOME. Mystic Shriners Are Thanked for a Work of Charity. Members of Al Kader Temple of the Mystic Shrine and their wives last night kvlsited the Patton Home for Old Ladies. It was a very happy occasion for hosts and guests. About two weeks ago the Shriners fin ished fitting up a sitting-room at the Patton Home at an expense of $30).

George and Dr. J. W. Hill, each of whom spoke felicitously and briefly. On behalf of the Old Ladles Home, Rev. W. O. Forbes spoke a few words of commendation.

An Episcopalian minister of Ellenvllle, X. T., who Is Interested not only In tho spiritual welfare of his congregation, but In their physical well-being, also, says, "I can now do an Immense amount of work and feel no fatigue, for the reason that I am using Grape-Nuts breakfast food and have quit coffee entirely and am using Postum Food Coffee. "Myself and family are all greatly Im proved In health. "We have largely aban doned the use of white bread. Upwards of twenty-fivo persons have changed their diet, on my recommendation. It is gladly given, because I know, from personal ex perience, whereof I speak." It is a well-known fact that white bread Is almost entirely composed of starch and this is difficult of digestion by many peo ple, particularly those .vho have weak in testinal digestion. The Tesult of the use of much white bread Is a lack of brain and nervous power to do mental work, and It also creates Intestinal troubles, because tho excess of starch ferments In the in testines and makes the conditions right for the growth of microbes; whereas Grape Nuts breakfast food contains the needed starch, but in a prcdigested form. That Is, it is transformed Into grape sugar In the process of manufacture, and delivered In the packages, ready cooked, and In such shape that it la Immediately assimilated without hard work of the digestive or gans. The food also contains the delicate par ticles of phosphate of potash, which, com bined with albumen, is used by nature to make the gray matter that must be in the cells of the brain and the nerve centers throughout the body.
