At an enthusiastic meeting of the Agricultural College Y. M. C A. men and their friends, in Armory Hall, last night, the sum of 53200 was sub scribed by students toward the crea tion of a Y. M. C A. building on the campus. It is estimated that about $10,000 will be necessary to construct a home for the college members. The guests of the occasion were H. J. McCoy, general secretary of the San Francisco Association; Lester McLean, Jr., associate Bible study secretary, international committee; Harry O. HI1L International student secretary for the Pacific Coast, and H. M. Stone, of Port land. A preliminary meeting was held in the college chapel, at which Stonu, Hill, McLean and McCoy engaged In an open contest for honors in telling dialect tales. The humor was Infec tious, and after the spirit of good fel lowship had been fully aroused by story and song. Clay Shepard, the local secretary, announced that a baked bean banquet was in waiting at the armory, whereupon the company adjourned thither and partook of the display of "bone and sinew" refreshments. The plain business-like banquet scheme was most appropriate to the occasion, which was one of real serious student interest. Cadet Colonel Darby, of the student body, opened the cam paign with a fire-minute speech upon college pride. This was the signal for an outburst of enthusiasm that only closed with "winks" at 10:45 P. M.. and a series of pledges amounting to $3200. Following Mr. Darby, Professor Lake spoke briefly of the purposes of the building; Ralph Shepard, on "College Enterprises"; Dr. Withycombe, on "State Builders"; Lester McLean, "At Other Colleges"; Harry Hill, "Value Received"; H. J. McCoy, "The Privilege of Having a Part." The speeches were a series of plain, pertinent, personal talks, without any effort at emotional effects or sensational appeals, and cul minating in one of the characteristic messages to young men of Toastmaster H. M. Stone, of Portland Y. M. C. A. fame. "With the announcement that over $3000 had been pledged by students, none other being accepted at this time, hats, handkerchiefs, napkins, paper plates, doughnuts and every other thing available went ' into the air. Cheer after cheer filled the big armory and Clay Shepard's final "thank you" closed one of the most memorable meetings held in the history of this institution. The following are the "first donors" to this new building, which Is destined to be the lio'me of student enterprises and the real cen ter of student life at the college: A. Austin, W. G. Abraham. A.

The Oregon Hopgrowers Asso ciation hold Us annual meeting in the Armory Hall in this city today. The following officers were elected: Hon. W. 11. Eagan, James Wlnstan ley. M. L. Jones. J. R. White, Francis Feller, George B. llovenden and WI1 liam Goodrich, board of directors; for president of the association, Hon. W. H. Eugan; secretary, James Wlnstan ley; treasurer, Francis Feller.

By a unanimous vote the officers of the association were in structed to at once draft a bill to be presented immediately to the Legisla ture with an emergency clause at tached, changing the present unjust tare of seven pounds per bale on hops to five pounds, which is the lawful tare deducted in all other hopgrowlng states in tho United States. All growers present, who are holders of hops, unanimously agreed that tho short sellers in Oregon were strenu ously attempting to bear tho market by unfair methods in reporting to the press various sales at a less price than Is actually paid, and express themselves as having entire confidence that the market will yet reach at leat 35 cents per pound. Numerous growers report offers of- 21) fc to 30 cents, which were promptly declined. Secretary Winstanley reports Eng lish advices as to the effect that sev eral thousand bales will be required within tho next 60 days for export.

One of the most remarkable scenes ever witnessed In a theater occurred at the Grand Opera House In this city tonight, when the Immense audience In attendance at the performance of "The Darling of the Gods" marched upon the stage In sin gle file and shook hands with Blanche Bates, the star of the Belasco production. The unexpected reception occurred at the ' end of the third act. at the conclusion of j Miss Bates' emotional scene In the office of the Japanese War Minister, when she pleads for the life of her lover, who has. been sent to the torture-chamber below. As the curtain fell on the actress lying prone on the stage and beating the floor with her clenched fists, the house rose enthusiastically and applauded Miss Bates until she was forced to take eight curtain calls. Cries of "Speech! Bravo! Speech!" mingled with the applause, and when tho curtain had been raised for the ninth time the Belasco star walked down to the footlights and timidly raised her hands for silence. An expectant bush suddenly came on the audience, who strained for ward to hear what she might say. The actress hesitated a moment and then be-. gan: "I don't know how to make a speech. My feeling of gratitude Is far too great for expression; but I will say that I am so thankful, so grateful to you all, that I'd like to shake hands with every one of you." "Do you mean that, Miss Bates?" called a masculine voice from a lower stage box, which was filled with a party of San Francisco clubmen. "Of course I do," was the smiling re ply. "Then we'll take you at your word," cried the clubman, and accompanied by his laughing friends he left the box and hurriedly entered the stage by a conveni ent door. As the smartly-dressed men walked across the stage, the audience good-humoredly applauded. As the last man shook hands with Miss Bates he turned toward the house and cried: "Everybody come up," and the immense audlc-nce with a common impulse rose and filed on and across the stage, where every one shook the star's hand until, as she afterwards remarked, "her arm was ready to creak like an overworked pump handle." The clubman who led the procession of reception appeared on the stage and hur ried off with such speed that it was dif ficult to recognize him. It was said, how ever, by some of those in the audience. mm ne was xucnara notanng. wno is said to be engaged to Miss Bates. In spite of repeated denials, it now seems possible that Blanche Bates will appear hero in "The Darling of the Gods" at the Armory. Many conflicting reports have been circulutcd regarding the appeamnae of the star here. One day the an nouncement was made that she posi tively would be seen here and the day following It seemed settled that the big independent attraction would pass us by, for the reason that no theater could be secured for the engagement. The syndicate controls the Marquam and Empire, with certain claims on the Columbia. Miss Bates naturally could expect nothing in the way of time at those houses, so It seemed set tled that we were to miss one of the greatest of modern productions. Yesterday, however, John F. Cordray, vj'ho holds a contract with Miss Bater. which calls for her appearance, an nounced that in all probability she will present "The Darling of the Gods" in inij city. Tne Columbia, Grand and the Armory are under consideration and it is llkelv that one of th thron will be secured. In any event there will De oostacics to overcome. The Columbia stock season would be Interfered with, the cost of building a stage and other wise fitting the Armory for theatrical purpose would be great, and the vau deville season at tho Rranrt TrnnM nr necessity be considerably disturbed. uavia ueiasco, under wnoop aus pices Miss Bates Is appearing, is not easily thwarted, however, and only a few weeks ago he spent thousands of dollars in Improvising a theater in a hall at Washington Cltv In nr.ior thnt Mrs. Carter might open her newest play in the Capital City. In view of this It seems altogetncr likely that If necessary ha and Mr. Cordray, who is nothing If not enterprising, will use the Armory as a last resort, regard less of expense. It is doubtful If the Columbia can be secured under any circumstances, but there Is nothing so formidable In the proposition to use the Grand, and if Miss Bates appears here at all. the Grand will likely house her production. HEAD TORN BY A BULLET. Lane County Farmer Is Supposed to Have Committed Suicide. EUGENE. Or., Jan. 14. (Special.) George Drury, a farmer who resided near Fall Creek postofflce. this county, was found dead at his home at an early hour fhis morning, all Indications pointing to -suicide. Drury was a man about 50 years old and was a hard working farmer. Last night his daughter went to a dance in the neighborhood, leaving her father at home alone and In his-usual health. Upon her return after the dance the daughter teas horrified to tlnd the dead body of her father on the foot of the bed. with his head horribly torn by a bullet. She immediately summoned some of the nearest neigh bors, who made an investigation. It was found that tho body was In such a position as It would fall upon iustan- i.uicous ueam witn a Duuet wound which had entered near the eye and passed entirely through the head and a Winchester rifle between his legs. The Coroner was notified, but there seemed no doubt but that it was a case of suicide. No motive for such an act was known by any of his relatives or friends, and it must have been the re sult of despondency which he had never before exhibited. Wilklns Elected to Presidency. EUGENE.

BULLET GIVES BEAST QUIETUS Talented Young Daughters of Wash ington Rancher Are as Famll- lar With a Rifle as With a Piano. NORTHPORT, Wash.. Jan. -(Special.) While a maddened lynx was wor rying their pet dog the "Phillips sisters attacked the wild beast. One literally wrested the dog from the Jaws of the lynx, the other killed It with a shot through the head. Paye and Florence Fhllllps, aged 17 and 19, respectively, live on the homestead of their father. Fred S. Phillips, on the res ervation side of the Columbia, near the mouth of Big Sheep Creek, two miles from Northport. Yesterday afternoon the hired man ran home to tell that the dog had treed a large lynx. The girls seized rifles from the wall and followed up the bark of the dog. He had the boast treed on one of the higher limbs. Both girls fired at the same time. The wounded animal bounded into the air and landed on the ground a few feet from the girls, who were coolly reloading their weapons. The moment the beast struck the ground it was attacked by the dog. The animals rolled over and over In a savage struggle, but the lynx was too much for the dog. So rapid were the movements of the animals that the girls feared to shoot, because they might kill their pet dog. Finally the dog emitted a shriek of mortal agony. The girls rushed to the rescue. One grasped the dog's limp hind legs and lit erally pulled the combatants apart, while the other sent a bullet through the head of the lynx. They shouldered the ani mal between them and returned home accompanied by the limp, torn and bleed ing dog. They hung the lynx In the woodshed, and. he proved to be an un usually large beast, with long tassels on his ears.

McMonles & Co., harness and saddlery, 53 Front street I cannot see how a revision of the tariff will benefit our business. In fact, I. feel that It will only serve to make conditions worse than they are, because the existing freight rates are all that uphold the Coast Manufacturer. Q. C. Reed, manager of Tillman & Bendel, 71 Front street I am heartily In favor of the proposed tariff revision. Salvation of the Country. C. W. Ross, lumber merchant. East Eighth and Main streets The salvation of this section of the country Is In a revision of the tariff. Samuel E. Werthelmer, of Nathan &. Werthelmer. wholesale clothiers. 73 Front street I believe that the people voted for Theodore Roosevelt, not because he prom ised revision, but because they knew him to be a Jalr-minded man and one who appreciated the wants of the country, and I am heartily in favor of his theory for tariff revision. I cannot conceive how men of intelligence will, allow themselves to assume a standpat attitude. James Hlslop, coffee and spice merchant. G3 Front .street If the tariff laws of the country are to reit ripon a Just equal polte a great many of them should be Immediately and radically changed. Laws are not Just that are not compre hensive in their application, and many of the tariff laws are not comprehensive. I. N. Flelschner. of Flelschner, Mayer & Co. Conditions are constantly chang ing, and I feel that It is a very good thing to appoint a committee once in a while to look Into the tariffs, because no law can serve for all time. The re vision will be good for the country. In my opinion. R. L. Sabin. secretary of the Mer chants' Protective Association I believe the tariffs to be a subject for much study and proper adjustment to the interests of the general public. A. F. Biles, manager of W. P. Fuller & Co. Speaking from the standpoint of our business, I am very much in favor of tariff revision. If we wish ships to carry grain to the United Kingdom at low rates we must have some Inducements for the ships to Bail here, carrying something more remunerative than bal last, because the rate of the voyage here in ballast Is added to the outgoing rate. We come In contact wlth-feome commodi ties which cost us over 100 per cent more than the first cost in the old country, and I feel thai a revision will be a very good thing. Representative McLeod, of Union I be lieve that the time has come for some changes in the tariff. I believe in a pro tective tariff, but in some schedules there should be changes, I am sure. Un less some action Is taken before long, I look for the tide to turn and a tremen dous opposIUon to President Roosevelt set In. Representative Smith, of Baker Out here we don't bother much about the tariff, and it seems to me that the men In Congress who have spent years In con sidering the subject should know what to do about it. , Let Weil Enough Alone. D. Franklin, grocer. Alder and Front streets I think that well enough should be let alone. H. C. Thompson, of the Davenport- Thompson Company. v144 Front street I believe In a partial revision of the tar iffs. Roosevelt's Idea expresses my opin ion exactly. Of course, as a matter of fact, our business Is not affected one way or the other, but for the good of the country at large. I think the revision Is advisable. 5L G.

New York Employer Compares It to Candy Taken With Medicine. NEW YORK. Jan. 14. At the dinner of the Contractors' Protective Association to nlght. Charles Leldlltz. president of the Building Trades Employers' Association, said, in response to the toast "Arbitra tion:" Many people thought a few years ago that the labor troubles In this city had been ended. After the unions were beaten In 1903 all thought Jhey would cause no more trouble foo many years at least, but they broke out again In 1904. and It was only a few weeks ago they were put In check. We will have peace possibly for a year or more, but I an confident that they are bound to break out again.

PU1TING IT STRONG But Doesn't It Look Reasonable? This may read as though wc were put ting it a little strong, because It is gen erall ythought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in Its chronic form is in curable or practically so. But we have long since shown that Dyspepsia Is cura ble, nor Is it such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with Dyspeptics Is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves or going to tho opposite ex treme or else deluging the already over burdened stomach with "bitters' "after dinner pills," etc.. which invariably in crease the difficulty even if In some cases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stom ach wants is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained? ' This Is a great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success ol Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a comparatively new remedy, but its suc cess and popularity leave no doubt as ta It's merjt. The Tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stomach. The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according to directions, Is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be, because, as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach la wholly inactive. To illustrate our mean ing plainly, if you take 1S0O grains o( meaL eggs or ordinary food and place it in a temperature of 98 degrees, and put with It one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets It will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was inclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak, yei these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting euro of Dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stom ach will bo given, to some extent, a much-needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of all the many remedies advertised to cure Dyspepsia none of them have given so complete and general 'satisfaction a3 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, and not least In Importance In' these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money
