FLUSHER
A BIG SUCCESS

The showers Of yesterday came
as a relief from the dust. The TEN.
perature reached a maximum of 81
degrees, with the winds from the
southwest. There was a noticeable
relief from dust ON Riverside ave-
nue. and Sprague avenue compared
with the dust raised heretofore by
such a wind as swept the city yes
terday. Commissioner Omo's new
sprinkling and street cleaning con-
trivance was responsible for this.
The machine did much in removing
the dirt from the paved street.
Said Mr.. ONO: 81 am sure this
machine is what Spokane has need
ed for a long time. | took per-
sonal charge yesterday and noticed
closely the work done. We worked
all through the rain. The machine
works better during wet weather as
the dirt on the streets is softened
and the cleaning machine takes it
up and handles 1t much easier"

HE'S ONE OF THE BEST
"SP|T BALL" ARTISTS

Jack" Chesbro of the New York
Americans.
Howell is a small man for his
age-he's less than 40, but he's a

one. Always ready to go into the
box, a willing worker and pitcher
par excellence, he is a valuable man
to any team.

is no way batsman can tell which
way the ball will 'break'-in or out

a valuable ball for pitchers to use."

ROWDY GREATS
A DISTURBANCE

Pandemonium reigned at the no.
torous Main block last night when
William Bickle, a laborer, struck
French woman in the face with
his fist. Police whistles were blown
and body of police and a hundred
others rushed into the block. Dur
ing the excitement Bickle ran down
stairs and hid within a shed across
the alley. One of the women watch
ed him and pointed the place out
to Detective Weir, who arrested
the man and took him 10 police
headquarters and lodged a COM
plant against him for disorderly
conduct.

watchdog emerging from his ken

Let his colleague continue the Of
fensive topic, taking an incidental
kick at the south; Tillman is out
of his seat and half way up the
middle aisle. His brows have knit
ted into a menacing frown, his lips
curl with an expression of savage
hate, his solitary eye CLEANS like a
coal; his whole attitude is a ment
ace. At such a moment he Is not a
pleasant object to behold. And what
he says will not be pleasant for the
other party to hear.
But Benjamin R. Tillman is no
zealot. He has the saving grace of
humor. He is possessed of sane,
wholesome mind and a kind and
genial disposition. He fights and
forgives. He is too big to cherish
many personal animosities. He re-
spects and admires the superior at.
tributes Of an opponent. His warm
est friends are found among such
men as Spconer and Chandler-the
latter of whom is a trusted adviser,
the former constant opponent in

eloquence of real conviction. He
speaks to get rid of his thoughts;

SpOkANE'S INDIANS
WONDFlOUS WISE

"Big Chief" Matthew and his
eight braves certainly did divers
and sundry things to the priests"
yesterday. 1t was the first game of
the year and such a bunch as gath
cred to see the new Indians per-
form never was more enthusiastic.
Despite the cold weather and the
dust, the redskins went at their
work with vim and soon annexed
the scalps of the players from Con-
zaga, who for the day forgot their
study and put their muscles into
one grand effort to size up tallies
with Stanley's men. Bot woe is
Gonzaga. While Chief Mats men
rolled up a score of IA, the best the
students could do was succeed in
having a continual goose egg star
ing them in the face from off the
score board. Seldom has brand
new league team, with muscles end
joints all unoiled, and spelling for
exercise, ever made such a showing
as the team did yesterday. The
GonZaga's are always the most gin
gerly team among the amateurs and
the criterion of professional team
In this city has always been the
result of their play with them. The
Indians were shy one of their men,

on him. Traps were laid to en-
snare him. Brides were dangled to
entice him. 1t was war against
the combined political, social, finan-
cial and traditional powers of his
state. The farmers were in revolt,
led by one-eyed farmer with a
pitchfork. The farmers won.
1t is Tillman's own testimony
that his hardest trial came after he
had been elected governor. He
faced a corrupt legislature, and he
denounced it to the people. He was
in turn himself accused of corrup-
ton; an accusation which he met
with defiance. Let the people de-
eide that" said Tillman.
The peoples verdict was not to
be mistaken and since that day the
accusation has not been repeated.
The legislature was reformed. The
grafters were thrown out. The
people had returned to power, and
they sent Tillman to the senate.
Why is Tillman ? He is, because
he is the peoples protest against
graft. He is, because the people
have perfect confidence that he is
honest, He is not brilliant. He is
not clever. He is not eloquent-ex-
cept in the sense that "eloquence Is
the man" He is not diplomatic, or
polished. or tactful. He is not dis
Greet. or learned, or wise with the
wisdom of books. He is honest.
That is all.
But that is a lot in public life.
Political and personal honesty is a
mighty asset in these days--and |
believe in all days.

anyway, and there IS some satisfac-

Indian Joe says that after he had
tented Fredericks into a body
punch he knew it was easy money.
Jack Kerns who looked after the
business interests of the Indian in
the fight, will try to make another
match at Rossland. He believes
the game may be put on its feet if
a well matched pair Of boxers fight
there. Billy French, manager of
the Collins theater, where the bat
tie took place. went to great trou-
BILE in arranging his seating capa-
city and his efforts were rewarded
by a crowded house. He was skep-
teal at first, not believing the at.
tendance would justify the amount
of work he did. He is more than
satisfied and will pull off another
fight In the near future.

Kid Harrison and Eddie Santry
are re-matched to box before the
Palouse City athletic organization.
Santry ought to be easy money for
the hard sted Mexican who made
such an excellent showing here
some time ago in his ght with Kid
Scaler. Santry's showing at New
port when he was beaten by Fred
die Weeks does not class him as
particularly dangerous. He is
clever, but that seems the limit Of
his powers. He is lacking in the
wallop-the great requisite.
The ght at Rossland, B. c., Sat
urday night between Kid Frederick
and Indian Joe Gregg turned out
about as had been predicted by the
Indians admirers. Fredericks last
ed four rounds, and his showing
was not up to what had been tout
ed. 1t is a hard thing for boy to
try to box when his eyes have gone
back on him. He needed the mon
ey and that was what caused him
to sign up with the Indian. In tell
ing of the battle, Fredericks says:
