However, the federal -government will be reoresented by a number of of ficials,, and it Is provable that several craft from the Brooklyn navy yard, which, is not far from the Williamsburg end of the new bridge, will take a con spicuous part in the opening ceremo Dies, ","- i " . riags and Lights Galore. Thirty-five thousand flags, some of them 60 feet long, are being used to decorate the great span and approaches.

There - will be about 20.000 of these, and they will sparkle from the : main cables and all the hanging parts of the huge web, and will outline, every girder and brace of the latticework towers from their foun dations to their apexes.

' "' t ' ' '"' " ' Chief Charles H. Hunt, the head of the Portland police department, nas naa the partition in his Inner omce removed and the ,.two rooms "thrown into one. This gives the official a more heerful place in which to work, and, he declares, a little more fresh air. The need of a new station," said Chief Hunt, "is quite apparent The old quar ters have been in use for more than-30 years, and besides we should have, a lo cation nearer the main business section of the city. The time is past when the station is needed in the bad quarter. The telephone and other call devices bring the officer in toucn witn tne city ana it takes but a few minutes to reach the Bcene of a disturbance. 'The East Side has .been growing very fast during the past few years, and.lt is high time substations were located across the river. Then, too. a station should be located near the Lewis and Clark fair site when th exposition opens. But these Improvements take time, and I suppose we will get them within a lew years. " BAD WORDS AND TIN CANS PASSED 'The language used, Judge, was not fit for publication," said Mrs. Kate Han nlford, a witness In the police court yes terday. Judge llogue evidently was of the same opinion, for he- fined Mrs, Rose Mertenson 910 for fusing profane ana abusive language, and warned the coftiptalnlng witness. Mrs, Mary C Dill, to be u little sparing of her talk in the future. - - - - - The Dills ' and , the Mor'tensons are neighbor, residing an Grant street, and the -trouble between them la of long standing. Mrs. Hannlford lives in one of Mrs.- Mortenson's bouses .in the lat ter' yard, and the row which led to the arrest began because Mrs. Hannl ford Invited Mrs. Dill to call upon her. Mrs, Hannlford objected, bad words were passed, and the defendant declare also, a few tin can and other loose rubbish. The fracas occurred last month, but corrtplaint.was not mad un til yesterday, because Mrs. Dill' hus band objected to his wife' appearing in court FOUND OUT WHO : STRUCK PAT MURPHY Admitting that he assaulted Pt Mur- phywlth a "blackjack," Robert Hamil ton, a bartender in the Majestic saloon, a notorious north end resort, was fined 120 in the police- court yesterday. Jennie Davis, charged Jointly with Ham ilton in the assault, was fined a like amount, William Nelson, another bar tender, wa discharged because of lack of evidence. Murphy went into the Majestic last Sunday night, and is said to have at tempted to make love ' to the Davis woman. She resented his action and threw a glass of beer in the sailor's face. Trouble wa on In a minute,' and when the smoke cleared Murphy was stretched out with a lump on hi head and Hamil ton was standing over him. The small ness of the fine gives no chance for ap peal, but Oscar C. Stone, who appeared for the defense, informed the court that he would endeavor to find a way. to bring the ease before a higher court for hear ing. v ' , ,,,. i , , , , , ( , j WASHUSTOTOlf MAT ASSIST. . v , ' .r :.,: The Walla Walla chamber of ' com merce is in favor, of The Dalles-CelllO portage road and believes that Wash ington as a state "should favor this pro jected enterprise. The ohamber has for warded the -following resolution, adopt ed December 8, 'to the secretary of the Portland chamber of commerce: "Re solved, That the Walla Walla Cummer cJalr club desires to assist in every way toward the construction of a portage road a. The Dalles, and believe that the state of Washington should assist, if possible, in the construction of said road, and if legat objections prevent such " assistance we believe that every. uueures man and farmer of the Inland ' -special, n ISO ; i First Street : Empire should subscribe toward such project. We also request the Oregon legislature not to repeal the appropria tion now made for the oonBtruction of such road, and guarantee to assist in every way possible toward the open ing of the Columbia river."

It U a Great Handicap tat All Basins and I octal Salationa. The man who looks as if he had lost hi last friend is in no danger of being crushed, by the Jam of new one unless he "cheers up." People are not going out of their way nowaday to associate with the man of mournful and melancholy appearance. They are afraid he ' will tell them hi trouble and they steer clear of him as they all have plenty of their own, - The most universal cause of forlorn and hopeless appearance today 1 dyspep sta. it unnts a man for every duty of life and cause him to become despond ent and gloomy and necessarily his look do not belie hi feeling. He appear cast down and dejected and become a burden to himself and humanity la gen eral. ' k Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet are the dyspeptic's certain relief. They do the work that his 'stomach is. unable to do and by relieving that organ of its bur den, permit it to regain Ha health and strength and again become active and useful in its functions. They contain all the essential ingredient that enter into the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they actually take up the work and do It just aa a healthy, sound stomach would. By this means a man can go right ahead with hi work and eat enough to keep him in proper working condition. ills system Is not deprived of its neces sary nourishment as It Is in the case of the "starvation cure" or the employment of some of the first-class chicken food now on the market. Starvation, even If it were a good thing, could not be contin ued long enough to effect a cure; for a disordered and worn-out stomach is not going to become strong and healthy in two or three day, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act natur ally because they contain natural diges tives. The . principal -component- parts are aseptic pepsin, malt diastase and other ingredients with Ilk properties that do the work regardless of the con dition of thb ''stomach, - There 1 no un natural or violent disturbance of the digestive organs, .as the ".result of their action, In fact, 'the existence, of the stomach 1 entirely forgotten as soon as they have had time to begin their opera tions. They alsof,posess-very curative and healing properties and assist the stomach In getting well, while relieving it of its work. They perform the duties of both nurse and physician. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for Bale by all druggist at 80 cents a box and there is very little danger of any drug gist ttylng to sell you something else in it, place that is "Just a good." , They are so well established and have done so much good in the world that their name has become i a household word; so the usual warning, ''Accept no aubstltute." is unnecessary in the case of Stuart' Dyspepsia Tablets.
