The Queen of Temperance Advocates.
OF the many in this and other
countries who devote their time and
energy TO the countct against the
mighty and growing giant, intem-
perance, there are none who will
surpass, in point of ability and genu-
inc earnestness, Miss Frances +.
Willard. The name and fame Of
this talented lady is known wherever
the English language is spoken, and
her great labor in the cause is re-
cognized and appreciated by all
those interested in prOmulgating and
spreading Of temperance doctrines.
Wherever she lectures, be it in the
largcsu cities or the smallest towns,
the name Of Willard is sufficient in
itself to attract immense COngrega-
tiOns, and at all times is she listened
to with deep interest amounting al
most to reverence. Her field OF
labor is not confined to one particular
section, but where duty calls she
answers the summons, he it far OF
near and cXcrts her whole rCmarka-
bic power in the promotion of the
idea Of total abstcnance and prohibit
ti6n. Miss Willard has spent the
summer on the coast, meeting with
hearty encouragement and success
in California, and from thence visited
Oregon and Washington territory.
Through the instrumentality Of the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union Of Eastern Washington, Mis-
Willard was induced to visit this
county. The lady spent last Friday,
Saturday and Sunday in Cheney,
where we hope she sowed seed that
will bear good fruit, and delivered
one lecture in the Congregational
church, at this place, Monday night.
The church building was packed ia
suffOcation, many being turned from
the doors unable to gain admittance.
It is hard for speaker to say any
thing new on n subject that has been
worn to shreds from therOstrum, but
If she advanced no new theories she
at least clothed the old in such a
pleasing. entertaining, instructive
dress Of rhetoric that everybody was
carried away by her eloquent plead
ings. She is neither vindictiVe nOI
abusive, but advances her arguments
in plain, terse, logical manner, car
rying conviction with her words.
Wonderfully fertile in language, pos
sessing clear, musical voice, with Il
winning and ladylike manner, Mis-
Willard made friends even among
those who differ with her views re-
garding the use Of stimulants. Her
lecture is spoken Of in the highest
terms by all who heard her, and re-
gret was expressed that her appoint
ments prevented her from remaining
longer.

We direct the attention of the
travelling public to the card Of the
international Hotel, in another col
umn. This large, ,'well-kept, and pop
ular house ranks among the best on
the Pacific coast, and we know it to
be in many respects far superior to
the high-priced hotels of Portland.
Tho, rooms are large, well lighted
and comfortable. The beds clean
and neatly furnished, and the tables
are supplied with the best the market
affords. A free coach carries custom
ers to and from every train and
steamer, and one is never robbed by
an extra charge for baggage. Trav-
elers will be treated with courtesy
and respect by the urbane clerks,
and every attention and accOmmOda-
tiOn is shown to strangers. The pro-
prietor, +. Lewiston, Esq, has had
years Of experience in the business,
and will be found a genial, whole
souled Boniface, ready to do any
thing in his power for his guests.
Mr. Lewiston is well-known in east
ern Washington, and as he never
fails to advise immigrants searching
for homes to try Spokane county he
deserves the patronage Of thgPeople
Of this section. The InterDational
will be found just as represented,
the best 81 per day hotel west Of the
Rocky mountains.

THE MAGIC CIRCLE.


HERON SIDING, July 25, 1888.
EDITOR SPOKANE FALLS REVIEW
For sometime grudge has existed
between a man by the name of Nc
Donnell and w. w. Russell, alias
"Butch," at this place, and in order
to settle all grievances, and decide
which was the best man it was ar
ranged that they should meet and
fight it out according to the rules of
the prize ring. The time set for the
meeting was Wednesday, July 25th.
and a large number of sports gather
ed on the grounds to witness the
brutal display. After settling the
necessary preliminaries, and Red
Handed Mike chosen referee the
men tOed the scratch for
THE FIGHT.
Round First-At the call of time
the bruisers put up their props and
carefully and wickcdly eyed each
other for a few moments. There
was some sparring for an opening,
when Nc. commenced hostilities by
letting go his left and catching his
opponent heavily on the waist
band, following it up with nttler
on the ribs with his right. Butch,
took his cruel without murmur
did some damage to Mes. mug with
his right and left. Nc. ended the
round with left handler thatAnded
on Butch's fy-trap, sending him to
grass.
Round SecOnd-Butch, nettled by
the punishment received in the open
ing, skipped across the ring at the
call Of time, and tried to get in his
work in his opponents corner, but
Nc. displayed considerable science
in keeping out of reach. Both men
got down to short arm fighting.
Butch playing the tattoo on Mes
body, and Nc. making for the head.
In the clinch that followed both men
fell side by side.
Round Third-BOth men came up
troubled for wind, and showing the
effects Of the last bout. Butch was
quite weak on his pins. Nc. went
tn work at once, dealing some vicious
blows, knocking Butch down in his
own corner.
Round Fourth and last-BOth men
answered to the call of time, Nc.
fresh and confident, while Butch was
weak and showed signs Of severe
punishment, but gamey to the last.
After a few light exchanges a claim
of foul was raised from Butch's cor
ner. Much confusion followed and
knives and pistols were drawn by
the crowd, and an effort was made
to force the referee to declare the
fight draw. The referee was not
to be frightened, however, but or
dered the men to 60 on. Acting on
the advice of his seconds Nc. forced
the fighting, and following up his
beaten and retreating opponent sent
him to rest in his own corner
After the usual thirty seconds the
referee called time and Butch being
unable to respond decided the fight
in favor of Mcdonnell. The fight
lasted twenty-five minutes, and con-
siderable money changed hands on
I the result. OLD TIMER.

The IinsfreIs.

Thursday evening Cannon's Hall
was opened for the first time to the
public. The occasion was the per-
formance Of Callender's Georgia Min
strels, and the room was crowded to
its utmost capacity, every seat being
occupied and standing room at a
premium. Every seat had been sold
ms reserved, but as a number came in
late they found their places occupied
and no redress to be had. 1t would
he wiser not to sell reserved seats ut
all unless some plan could be devised
to "reserve" the seats after purchase.
The condition of things in this
line Thursday was the cause of
much dismal protestation, useless
though 1t was. The performance
was one Of the best that has ever Wis
tied the city, and although there are
many better minstrel troupes on the
road this one is quite amusing and
entertaining. Spokane Falls will he
