10 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 15, 1905. G DOORS CLOSE Government Exhibit Building Will Open No More. FLAG IS HAULED DOWN National Salute of Twenty-One Guns Fired to Show That So Far as v jGovernment Is Concerned Exposition Is Ended. There was no more pathetic incident connected with the passing of the Lewis and Clark Exposition than the closing of the beautiful building which, the United States Government erected In commemo ration of this great centennial.. The Gov ernment building has been one of the cen ters around which the deepest Exposition interest centered this Summer- It was the one exhibit which Interested the poor man and the rich man alike, the one in which every mother's son of us felt a like proprietary interest. And" when it was lorever closed yesterday evening at 5 o'clock there was scarcely a dry eye In the great multitude which gathered on the island to witness the closing cere monies. The programme arranged and carried out for these exercises was simple and brief, but there was a note of pathos in the proceedings which touched all hearts and made every man, woman and child realize the hold patriotism has upon the American public E. L. Springmann, transportation clerk of the Government building, arranged the ceremonies for Mr. Geddes, and is to be highly congratulated upon their effectiveness Fire National Salute. The Portland Hunt Club was in the midst of a hurdling exhibition on the plaza in front of the big white building on the island when the 'first gun of the National salute of 21 guns was fired. There was a hush and a second report boomed out on the evening air. Then a third, and the large crowd began to count, while the riders curbed their restless thoroughbreds. On the roof of the build ing a soldier stood beneath each floating flag, rope in hand. On the steps the Ar tillery Band was arranged, waiting for the last gun. "When it finally pealed forth a bugler's clear, round notes sounded the death-knell and immediately the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner" told all that the United States Government build ing was forever closed to the visitors of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. As it played the soldiers pulled down each float ing flag, and In a silence wherein none of the 'vast crowd spoke, every man uncov ered his head. The presence of death seemed near actual death, and, not the mere closing of a building. Here and there a woman furtively wiped her eyes, and men cleared their throats and looked hard in front of them. Tears In Eyes of Many., Up the In big building sentiment was more unrestrained, and many friends wrung each other by the hand. They all rtood it pretty well until taps "sounded the soldiers good-night and then many broke down entirely. "Seems Just like it wa$ a family break ing up." explained Mr. Sprlngman as he swallowed a big lump In this throat and cleared his voice. "We have beenl here all Summer together, and many of us were In SL LouIh, too. Now that It is all over well, we couldn't feel worse If we wore all r.kln." Big Doors Close. Then the big doors closed and the guards began to clear the building of the stragglers who were left Inside. The big crowd had been outside during the cere monies, but Immediately It was realized by the closing of the doors that all op portunity to see the magnificent Govern ment display had pased. there was a general rush for the entrance and the public seemd possessed of a mad desire o get just one last glimpse. But It was too late, and a brawny guard stood at each door to keep any one from entering. All afternoon there has been unusual crowds thronging the building, and re grets were heard on every side that more time had not been given to studying the Interesting exhibits. When the crowd finally turned away to watch the hurdling again, there were, many touching farewells said among the clerks whom Uncle Sam has employed to serve the Exposition public. Some parted never to meet again others with the ex pectation of seeing dear friends soon. "But how we hate to leav'c Portland," was the univershl regret.

GREENE. I was not one of the patriots who spent all day yesterday saying farewell to the Fair. r Just had to get down the river as far as Astoria for a few long breaths of the Pacific, so it was night when the hoat brought me back. As sootuas jnlght be, however, I was inside the gates with thousands of others to s2e the final act of the beautiful pageant-play which we have been watching all through an ever memorable Summer. An Incident of the Last Night that will ever stand out In my memory occurred as we came up on the boat to Portland, for the last sight of the glory which was the Dream City. A young woman stood beside tne at the Tall of the steamer as we rounded the bend above St. Johns and the splendor of that now anlshed fairy-land burst upon us In diadems of electricity. I was looking at the sublime sight which the Exposition made when darkness had fallen and the lights were on. It was to me at once an Inspiration and a sorrow of the kind which clutches the throat. It was one of those moving experiences that come so seldom In a lifetime, and I was thrilled with the great thrill which sublime "beauty ever prompts to the ap WRECK OF THE MISSOURI BUILDING AS SEEN' FROM THE REAR. The ruins of the Missouri building was a star attraction at the Lewis and Clark Exposition yesterday, thou sands of visitors viewing it during the morning and afternoon. A thorough examination of the ruins yesterday failed to disclose anything that had escaped from the flames or water. Some of the exhibits, packed In boxes, were found untouched by the fire, but they were water-soaked, which utterly ruined them. After delving In the pile of blackened boards, above which once stood the art gallery, the searchers found prob- ably half a dozen small paintings, but they were scorched and of little or no value. None of the larger paintings could be located, and a couple of the statues found were all broken and charred beyond recognition. Commissioners E. S. Garver and E. E. E. McJImscy will remain In Portland several days before returning to St. Louis. About,all they have to do Is to settle the $3000 Insurance which was carried on the art gallery. The com missioners do not place much reliance In the report that the fire originated from Incendiarism. Chief of Detectives Donahae, at the Exposition, believes the fire started from defective wiring, or from some careless smoker. He says It is not at all Improbable that some one might have thrown a lighted cigar or cigarette Into the pile of rubbish at the back of the building, thus starting. tAe fire. charged. The concluding piece showed the American flag suspended to a parachute. The initial night fireworks started at 10t20 o'clock, with an elaborate display of aerial works flred In volleys. Following- came the portrait In fire of President Gdodc emblazoned with elec tric fountains. The heavens were ablaze with volleys of huge rockets and shells, and the displays concluded with heavy cannonading. The closing spectacle began at the midnight hour. The words "Goode Night" flashed out in the darkness, surrounded by a golden halo. This was closely followed by volleys of Roman candles, rockets, shells and aerial bou quets. The Jlaal salute was terrific and uhook every building on the grounds. May Iose an Eye.

I heard the woman gasp and then she sobbed. It was unconscious, and of course unforced, and It added the final clement.

Like hundreds of thousands of other Ore gonlan? that Dream City has been a fond object of devotion and to nee It last night when sympathetic skies were weep ing at Its vanish-time from afar off, where distance Idealized the panorama, and to. know that on the morrow It would be an antiquity such as Thebes was something I shall remember while mem ory Is left me.

ThroBgH Llnjcer tit the Grounds for Lnt Farewell to the Exposition. ) All cars to the Exposition grounds In the early evening were crowded with people anxious to see the Dream City before Its lights should fade forever. At the main entrance there was a con stant stream of men. women and chil dren through the admission stiles that kept the attendants busier than they have been upon any other evening with the exception of July A and Portland day. Once Inside, the crowd scattered to all parts of the grounds and mlgnled with' the thousands who were already there. The walks were everywhere cov ered with mud but they did not seem to mind it. One thought was uppermost with all the last opportunity to see tllS great Exposition, and they were alike regardless of mud and rain. Sightseers rushed from one display to another and from one building to an other.

I There was none of the noise and little of the lauchter which have been In evl- 'dence on other days of large attend ance. Portlanders have shown a high sense of appreciation of their Fair from the 3ay that it opened, but probably they have not felt 'its worth at any time more keenly than last night. As passing things always seem more precious, so'lt was with the Fair, and the usual noise of the grounds was hushed as If the people were thinking of the close of the Fair as of the last farewell to a friend whom they had learned to love. While Ellery's Banu played In the Auditorium, that large room was packed as It has been but few times since the Exposition opened. So great was the crowd that It was difficult to maintain order.

The complete cmptiiws of the stom ach during sleep adds greatly to the amount of emaciation, sleeplessness and preneral weakness so often met with. There is a perpetual change of tissues In the body, sleeping or waking:, and the supply of nourishment ought to be somewhat continuous and food taken Just before retiring, ndds more tissue than Is destroyed, and Increased weight and vigor Is the result. Dr. W. T. Cath ell says: "All animals except man eat before sleep and there Is no reason la Nature why man should form the ex ception to the rule.'" If people who are thin, nervous and sleepless -vy.ould take -a light lunch of bread and milk or oatmeal and cream and at the same time take a safeharm- i less stomach remedy like Stuart's Dvs- wholesome food at night or at any other time. For such It Is absolutelyjieces sary to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they will digest the foodv no matter how weak the stomach may be, nourishing the body and resting the stomach at the same time. Dr. Stevenson says: "I depend almost entirely upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets in treating indigestion, because it Is not a quack nostrum, and I know Just what they contain, a combination of vegetable essences, pure pepsin. They cure Dyspepsia and stomach troubles, because they can't help but cure." Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.

Hurdling, High Jumping and Push Ball Are Features. c THRONG SEES CONTESTS Last Afternoon of Fair Memorable lor Horsemanship Exhibition on PJaza of Government Peninsula. Of the many interesting features of tho closing day programme, the exhibition of high Jumping and hurdling by the Port land Hunt Club was pronounced one of tho most Interesting and enjoyable. It took place on the broad plaza in front of the Government building, and the crowd which gathered at this point on the Island at 4:30 o'clock was so dense that It was with difficulty the guards kept the lines defined. A short circular course was laid off, which Included six good Jumps, and over this the riders put their mounts while the crowd pushed dangerously near to wajch the exciting sport. The high Jumping exhibition took place immedl ately In front of the building, and the performance of each contestant was loud ly cheered. It was cold and wet. but the crowd cared not for bad elements. The horses were all on their mettle. and pranced about, in picturesque fashion, and as each animal took the Jump It seemed to be with a consciousness of being watched and criticised, and therefore did Its best. There were but three entries In the high-jumping contests John Latta on Dennis; T. S. McRath on Jerry, and v 111 lam Walters on Frank. At first height all took the jump in good style, but as the bars were trxaduallv raised. Mr. Wal ter's mount showed that he couIdNtake them better than the other two. The rider got good work out of .Frank, and carried off the silver cup which was of fered for this event. Horses Took Hurdles Splendidly. The hurdles were next on the pro gramme, with the following entries: James NIcol on Will Wehrung. T. T. Strain on Bedad. H. H. Herdman on Nig ger, A. D. Scoble on Tom Green, R. H. Jenkins on Jane, E. B. Stirling on Tom, J. D. Alexander on Breta, A. B. Cronln on Granger, Emmet Brown on Budget. and T. S. McRath on Jerry. Great Inter est centered In this number, and some pretty leaps were made. Will Wehrung. Mrs. F. Buffum's handsome thoroughbred. did some beautiful work under Mr. Nicol's masterful hand, but T. S. McRath brought Jerry up In better form than any of the other entries, and carried off the trophy a handsome silver cup. In the doublo hurdles the decision was reserved, and will be announced later. This was an event over which the crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Xovel Sport Well Received. Push ball was the final number of the Hunt Club's exhibition, and many saw it for the first time. ,The push ball owned by this hunt club ' Is one of two In the TTnltod RtatM. and nroved a ereat novelty to many. Two teams, three on each side, j played. William Walters, captain of one J side, had E. B. Stirling and J. D. Alex ander, while T. T. Strain headed A.. B. Cronln and Emmet Brown. The contest was a close one, and was won on a nar row margin by Walter's team. The man ner in which these riders have trained their horses to enter into the spirit of tne contest is worthy of greatest pral3e. for they seem to take as much pride and in ercst In the game as their riders. As soon as the contest ended, the small boys flocked" around the huge leather ball, and had the time, of their lives with it. One woman who .arrived late on the scene and saw tne top or tne nan aoove ine sea oi heads wildly explained to her companions that the airship had grounded. Tho judges for the Hunt Club contests were R. I Sabln. Gordon Vorhees and W. J. Burns. The club Is to be congratu lated on the showing it made and tho at tractive number It added to the pro gramme of closing day.

A mother's "worries arfi many. She sometimes forgets her own bodjjy dis comforts because of her overpowering love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and feels tired from morning until night. Many mothers of experience can tell you that at such a time they have been re lieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking a pre scription which their mothers had told them was the best woman's tonic and nervine to be taken at such times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has en joyed an enviable reputation for over a third of a centurv. In all that' time it has sold more largely in the United States than any other tonic for woman's needs, and to-day its sales are greater than ever. Dr. Pierce made up this prescription from native medicinal roots without the use of a. particle of alcohol and for the single purpose of curing those diseases peculiar to women and when there is a lack of womanly 'strength to bear the burdens of maternal duty. How few women come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is be cause they are unprepared. Is pre- Earation then required for motner ood? asks the young woman. And every experienced mother answers "Yes." rtI unhesitatingly advise ex pectant mothers-to use Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Va. The rea son for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best pre parative for the maternal function. No matter how healthy and strong a woman may be, she cannot use "Favorite Pre- Bcnption " as a preparative for ma ternity without gain of health and comfort. But it is the women who are not strong who best appreciate the great benefits received from the use of "Fa vorite Prescription." For one thin? its use makes-the baby's advent practically Sainleas. It has in many cases reduced ays of suffering to a brief few hours. It has changed the period of anxiety and struggle into a time of ease and. comfort. A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES. .

"In Helonias we have a medicament which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug ictth which I am acquainted. In the treat ment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent." j "The following are among the lead ing maicauons ior neiomas: ram on aching in the back, with leucorrhcea; atonic (weak) conditions of the repro ductive organs of women, mental de-j pression and irritabilitv, associated with chronic diseases of the reproduc tive organs of women, constant sensa tion of neat in the region of the kidneys: menorrhaeia, ("flooding") due to a weakened condition of the reproductive! system; amenorrhea, arising from or accompanying an abnormal conditior of the digestive organs and an ana?miq (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations in the extreme loer part qf the abdo-i men."
