METHODIST EvANGEL|sT|C SERVICES
Revival Is Attracting Much Attention
In WaIIa WaIIa-Lares Crowds +
Attend Meetings.

The evangelistic services at the First
Methodist Episcopal church have be-
gun with unusual interest. Large en-
thusiastic congregations have greeted
the evangelists at each service. A
great feature of the meeting is the
music under the direction of Evangelist
Everett. "A large chorus choir of th1r-
ty-five voices sings each evening. A
Sunbeam choir composed of thirty five
hovs and girls is rendering some
sweet music. This, with a good male
ouartette. and Everett Lewtas, as solo,
ist. gives a variety seldom secured In
one church. Evangelist Lewtas is
preacher of great power, with few
EQUALS in the northwest. His SER
mon last night on the Doctrine Of Re-
generation" was listened to with rapt
attention from beginning to end. AT
the close a multitude pressed their
wav to the altar to seek closer COM
munion with the master. At 1880 this
evening the Sunbeam choir will sing
also the large chorus. The public Is
cordially invitel. These meetings VIII
continue for at least two weeks.

The younger society set residing in

of it all was that two popular men,

parting with viewpoints that were de-
cidedly opposite.
Matters kept this way for several
DAYS and the outlook was anything but

idea to the forlorn Charley.

Square theatre in August, only to du-
plicate the impression made on it's
previous visit to New York. There is
likely to be an unusual demand for
seats when Miss Walsh presents her
low famous play at the Keylor Grand
IN Monday evening. Like most of Mr..
Woman in the Case is very much up
to-date.' Briefly speaking, it tells the
story of a loving, faithful wife who
will not believe in the accusations
against her husband, although they
are supported by sufficient evidence to
land him in prison. She not only be-
lieves him to be innocent but proves
him So He is the victim of a woman's
revenge, a woman of the type that
have supplied the yellow journals with
the biggest headlines in recent GRIM
inal cases.
While the action of the play, which
eliminates in what has come to be
called in New York, the famous third
act, is somewhat melodramatic, it j..
perfectly plausible. Indeed, the great
success the play has enjoyed is chief
ly due to the fact that the story in its
main features is almost identical with
that of one of the most famous actual
life dramas with which the courts of
Justice have had to deal recently. AS
for Miss Walsh herself, local play
goers will be glad to see her again
in a role in which her well-known
feminine charms have opportunity of
display Her gowns are the creation
of the famous Mrs. Osborne, and they
are said to be for the feminine play
goers an alluzing attraction in them
selves. The pley II In four scenes, two

OF THE DAY,

The largest crowd that las been

afternoon between the Elks and the

All the stores in the city closed at 4
o'clock and hundreds of people went
to the grounds and passed two hours
enjoying the fun that was furnished
by the ball players.
Preceding the game the Walla Walla
band, the two teams and large num-
her of the members of the Elks and
Knights of Columbus lodges made a
parade through the principal streets
and then proceeded to the ball grounds
Kaufman and Dunphy.
After the Fourteenth Cavalry band
had rendered short musical pro-
gram the game was started. The first
two balls thrown over the plate came
from the hands of j. ]. Kaufman
They were received, or rather at
tempted to be received, by Colone
William H. Dunphy. AS the first bat

Looked Easy for Knights.
From the start it looked as though
it was going to be easy for the knights
of Columbus. They had no difficult.
in hitting the ball and assisted by er
rors they soon had quite a lead. AT
ter several innings the Elks go
warmed up and they tied the score
