BASEBALL AGAIN,

Ever since the Spokane baseball
team left home a gloom has over
spread the faces of the enthusiastic
fan. To think that all this excep-
tionally fine baseball weather there
were no games.
But the two weeks gloom has been
dispelled today. The team will be at
home tonight once more and with it
comes Seattle-and Cupid" Dugdale
will be over from Tacoma. Cheerful.
rotund Dug chases gloom and cloud
from off the face Of every fan. It's
natural to smile when you behold
him.
AS usual Dugdale says-there's moth
ing to il but his team-just walk
away with the pennant, of course.
Now that CARROTS Indians have the
Clamhunters on their own grounds,
they'll get down to business and haul
them in from second place. Tomor-
row Spokane meets Seattle in two
games, the first In the morning at
1915 and the second at 3:l5. Of
the six games played since leaving
home Gus Klopfs lads have lost but
one and by winning the four games
to be played with Seattle here they'll
be close onto the leaders of the race
Manager w, V. Garrett, who pilots
the locals, Is overjoyed at the show
ing his team has made.
There's nothing TO it--weve the
pennant-winning team this year--not
a stronger bunch of hitters I'm the
-
performers with the horsehidc.
mot Dragging at all, but we UNI
doubtedly have a good, II not a bet
ter, team than any in the league. It's
puh for second place now"

Chicago is favored by many as the
convention city. 1t has been demon
strated, by repeated tests, that Chi
cago has the best facilities for
handling such an assemblage of any
city in the United States. The ho-
tells are so large and numerous that
they can absorb a convention crowd
without noticing it. 1t is centrally
located with reference to the rest
of the country, has large assembly
places and it's telegraph facilities are
of the best.
There is some sentiment In favor
of holding the conventions in San
Francisco. There never has been a
convention there, and many of the
politicians would like to take the trip
On the other hand, it is always OBJ
jected to California that there are not
enough telegraph lines crossing the
desert to carry the great volume Of
Biographical business incidental to
reporting the news Of the conven-
ton. There is also the three hours
difference of time between California
and the eastern states, making the
news that much later in arriving.

ROOSEVELT OBJECTS
TO PRIZE FIGHTS

Mayor L. Frank Boyd entertains
the strongest kind of objections to
prize fights, but boxing contests are
perfectly proper and he would en-
courage them.
What is your opinion in connec-
ton with prize fights?" he was asked
today.
Il have every objection to prize
fights" he replied, "but boxing or
sparring contests should be encourage
ed when held within the bounds pre-
scribed by law. When these approach
the brutal stage or finish fight /
have every objection and would not
allow such contest to take place"
During Mayor Boyd's conversation
with President Roosevelt, when the
subject of the Spokane Amateur Ath-
letic club was preached, the president
wanted to know if matches were pull
ed off by the club. The mayor stated

MANY CITIES DESIRE
POLITICAL CONVENTIONS

WASHINGTON, May ga year
from next month the republican ma
tional convention will be held. June
has come to be accepted as the month
for the republican convention. while
the democrats meet to make their
nomination in July. 1t will not be
long before the question will be agi-
tated as to wnere the conventions of
1904 will be held.
1t is quite certain that they will
not be held in st. Louis. Up to last
month there was talk of combining
the political gatherings with a visit
to the exposition; but what the poll
ticians saw and experienced at the
dedication ceremonies has cured them
Of that notion.
Aside from the we'll known fact
that St. Louis, at that season, is the
hottest place on earth, it is mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty that the city will
not have accommodations to handle
SO many visitors. The exposition
alone will be sure to tax hotel and
transportation facilities to their ut
most limit; so the convention crowd
would be confronted with the inhos-
pitable curbstone

cessor chosen yesterday at once is
sued an order upon his death.
Commander Bedelrs death recalls
an interview with him had by Press
representative in Spokane several
weeks ago--just after the choosing
of the time for the meeting had gone
against his wishes. He said then:
my greatest wish has been that
l might officiate once as department
commander at the decoration of the
graves of my dead comrades. This
change in date of holding our meet
ing Will necessitate the election of
my successor before May 80 and de-
prive me of the pleasure I covet."
Mrs. Bedell and son accompanied
the remains of Commander Bedell to
Walla Walla this morning.

Boil Weevil May Invade Arkansas.

The question of practical means of exterminating the boil weeyil is
 one that is of no little concern to Arkansas planters. There Is now on exhibition at the agricultural bureau at the state house three boil weevils of the kind that have play ed such havoc with the cotton crop in Texas, and which have recently appeared in Louisiana. Cotton men and farmers over the state. are awaiting with great interest the harvesting of this years cotton crop in Texas, as they expect then, for the first time, to "get line' on the amount of damage done to tha crop in that state by the weevil. An idea of the seriousness of the damage done in Texas may be gain ed from the statement of the fact that Texas has offered a reward of $50,000 for the person who finds a method for eXterminating the wee vii, and in addition to this the state now has a commission of sci entists in the field making experi- ments and trying to devise a meth cd of ridding the state of the pest.

Flaming Mill Burned.


 The Valley Flaming Mill, former ly the Ledwidge mill, at Hot Springs, was totally destroyed by fire. The mill was one of the larg- est in the state. Bush, Smith & Moore were operating the mill and their loss is estimated at $20,000. They had no insurance. Sheriff R. L. Williams owned the buildings and the mill machinery and his loss is about $10,ooO. By dint of hard work on the part of the fire men the buildings in the neighbor- hood were saved from destruction.
