SHOVEL GOLD
FROM SEWER

CENTRALIA, May "A second
gold discovery since work in con-
structing sewers in Centralia COM
menced was made by A. R. Strach-
an. A shoveful of gravel from the
sewer ditch in the alley back of
his home was PANIED and about
$3.50 in gold was found. The gravel
came from a depth of about 10
feet from the surface of the ground.
When the discovery became
known a number of persons took
pans of various kinds and began
respecting the gravel where the
sewer trenches are being dug.
Many of them found gold in small
quantities, but none of them found
anything as rich as that discovered
by Mr.. Strachan.
The gravel in which the gold is
found Is of glacial origin. There is
much "black sand" in it and con-
siderable quantity of platinum. Sew
eral weeks ago DR.. o. e. Houda, OF
this city, picked up a small stone
back of his home that had been
thrown to the surface in digging
sewer bitches. 1t was found very
rich in gold. Plans are under dis
cussion by business men for the
sinking of a prospect hole, as it is
believed that if bedrock is reached
a rich pay streak of gold may be
discovered.

TEXAS TODAYDECZDES
BAHEY'.S POLITICAL FATE

special Corresp ondencs to The prsaa
DALLAS, Tex, May 2.-DemO-
cratic primaries are being held to-
day all over Texas and the result
will be to show just how much
Roadway has been made in the long,
bitter fight on Senator Bailey.
The precinct primaries elect dele
gates to county conventions May
and these in turn delegates to the
Ft. Worth convention May 26, at
which time delegates to the nation
al democratic convention at Denver
will be chosen.
Bailey is battling to lead his
states delegation to Denver. Cone
Johnson heads the opposing dele
cation.
If Bailey wins his enemies de
clare the fight will go on with un.
remittent energy. If Bailey loses,
his star, already clouded in national
politics, will be close to setting in
Texas.
The campaign which finds its eli
max today has been of unequaleo
bitterness. Bailey, two years ago

on his rapidly acquired wealth.
They declared no man had the
right to serve two masters. as
Bailey says he has the right to do.
Through every speech ran the ia
| nous insinuatiOn where did you
get it," Their crowds were as en-
thusiastic as were Bailey's. The
applause was as loud. Their de-
termination was more grim. Bailey
had threatened to drive them into
the gulf" to turn their political
pictures to the wall" They are
fighting for the principle that the
senator is the servant Of the peo-
pie ana that when he accepts cor
porate employment he is false to
his trust. They denied the allega.
ton of faithlessness to the demo-
cratic party. They said Bailey had
bamboozled it. The legislative in
vestigation they called farce, shut
off when Bailey thought it had gone
far enough.
A handful of professors, led by
Erasmus G. Senter, state senator
from Dallas county, has grown into
tens of thousands. Senter started
the whole thing. A lawyer. ex-
newspaperman, of highest political
standards and absolute fearless
ness, Senter headed the opposition
to Bailey's reelection in the senate
at the last session. Defeated there
he took the issue home with him
and began organizing democratic
clubs to oppose Bailey. Hundreds
have been formed. Unrelenting,
Senter believes the fight on Bailey
will continue until Bailey is elm
mated from public life. A man in
Texas who violates the instructions
of his constituency as Senter did in
voting against Bailey is brave in
deed.

DAVIS SUFFERS
AWFUL FIT

WASHINGTON, D. c., May q
U. s. Sen. jeff Davis dashed the
syndicate" and subsidized" press
of this country in speech which
for the bitterness of its invective
and the fury of it's ,uterance has
had no equals within the walls of
the senate since Tillman laid aside
his five-pronged fork. Davis ad-
mittei there were some honest
newspapers in the country, but de-
clared that those journals that crit
icised his remarks last December
were subsidized by the trust.
Swinging his long arms widely
above his head and raising his
voice almost to scream he defied
the correspondents in the press gal
lery to DO their worst. Turning to
his colleagues about him he sol
lemnly warned them that in the
country they were regarded as the
defenders of predatory wealth, and
he urged them to purge congress of
the odium of this opinion by do
ing something for the people" He
declared that the trusts Influenced
the senate in an indirect manner
but that the men who made up it's
membership were possessed of the
same weakness as other men. Clos
ing, he said:
Il challenge the subsidized to do
their worst with me. Go, damnable
imps of pelf and greed, I defy your
taunts! Tear to fragments my po-
litical career if it comport with
your execrable will! Stiflle and
distort my utterance if such be
your brutal frenzy! Lash my poor
form into insensibility! Howl In
wretched bestialty as my innocent
blood drips from your fiendish WIS.,
ages! Drag what remains upon the
altar of Baal or scatter it to the
crows of the field! l care mott"

for weeks all over the great state,
addressing mass meetings. 1t
means vindicatiOn or condemnation
to him.
Did he argue ON the stump? No.
Did he plead? No. He bulldozed,
cursed, vilified. He magnified to
the highest degree what he called
the faithlessness of former adher-
ents. Thieves, liars, poltroons, jury
briDers, suborners of pedjury-
these epithets well from the sena-
tors lips not once, but hundreds of
times. And thousands shrieked
with delight when this audacious,
self-satisfied, arrogant, unyielding,
brilliant man Of magnetic PERSONAL
ty stopped to the slime to defend
himself from the charges.
Meanwhile his opponents were
equally active Many of the leading
democrats of the state, erstwhile
friends of the junior senator,
hayed him as never a senator was
fayed before. They ffuoted from
the court and legislative records.

Special Correspondence to The Press


WASHINGTON, May 2.-Joe
Letter, the wouldbe coal baron, the
man who tried TO corner wheat, the
man who has been reported en-
gagged to every eligible girl in his
set in Chicago and to Katherine FL
kins as well. is going to marry
Juliette Williams in June.
Miss Williams is a tall, blond bud
of the last debutante season, 20
years old, daughter of Col. and Mrs.
j. R. Williams, graduate of a
Georgetown convent and one of the
most popular young society women
in Washington.
The engagement follows closely
on a laughable box car romance.
With several friends the couple
started on an auto trip, recently.
They got stuck in the mud Tele-
grams for special train brought
an engine and box car. The party
piled into the latter and arrived at
the next morning at Richmond,
Va. The unusual sight of fashion
ably dressed people alighting from
a box car at that early hour caused
great merriment in Richmond and
made the reporters get busy.
Letter has spent the winter with
his mother, Mrs. Levi z. Letter, at
her home on Dupont circle.
Miss Williams has been a social
success from the time of her intro
duction into society. Her beautiful
clear complexion and distinctive
manner of dress have caused much
comment.
Mrs. Letter is said to be very
well pleased with the engagement
of her son to an American girl. Her
three daughters have married En-
glishmen, namely: Lord Curzon,
the earl of Suffolk and Capt. Colin
Campbell of the English army. 1t
is said that the mother was so
anxious that her son marry an
American girl that she offered at
the time of his supposed infatuation
for Katherine Elkins to give her
famous rubies and her home here
as an inducement to the project.
The wedding will take place at
the brides home, Catholic clergy
man officiating. The couple will
spend the honeymoon at Mrs. Lett
er's home at Observation-Disclosures
and later go abroad, where they will
be the guests of Letters married
sisters.

100000 SPENT
on PARK

An investment of 100000, ac-
cording to information given by the
management, has been made by the
Ingersoll Amusement Co. at Nata-
forum park, which is billed to for
mally open for the season tomor
row. The best of last years at
fractions have been retained ana
improved and new ones added until
the park has become a sort of
Coney island. Manager Ingersoll
is now figuring on converting the
sand pit into a monster swimming
tank 200 by 800 feet in area, which
will demand an outlay of $4,000
more. If this is done the new tank
will probably be utilized for ice
skating in winter Director Cook,
of the Armory Athletic association,
has been engaged to take charge
of the natatorium and give swim
ming lessons. He will introduce
water polo. Another new feature
which will probably not be ready
until later in the summer is an
aerial railway to traverse the en-
tire 40 acres of the park and which
will cost 100000.
More than 100 men have been
busy in the park getting ready for
tomorrow's opening. The huge or.
gan has arrived and it is expected
that workmen are busy night and
day to get it in shape for tomor-
row afternoon at the latest. On
account of broken water pipe the
chutes will not be ready until Tues
day, but the rest of the attractions
will be in full swing. The small
shows have all been touched up
and a bewildering array of new
things added to the novelty audi
forum.
By Nav II the new park theater
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-05-02

will be ready for opening with Vir-
ginia Brissac, Eugene Mockbee and
their company. The theater will
accommodate 1000 people and will
be finished in elaborate style. Bal
loon ascensions begin May "a, the
aeronaut having been detained at
San Francisco for the feet celebra-
ton. A boxball alley is being
erected.
What the park will look like at
night is conveyed by the fact that
about 10000 lights of various
shapes and colors have been
strung. The huge ballroom, the
largest in this part of the country,
is a maze of light overhead.

HOW TO WASH MIRRORS.
Soft Rag Dipped in Alcohol VIII Keep
Them in Condition.

Some persons have a difficulty in
keeping mirrors in proper condition,
but a soft rag dipped in alcohol and
wiped over the glass, that is after
wards rubbed dry, is all that is neces-
sary when the mirror appears dim or
spotted.
For this purpose cheese cloth is
best.
When spots appear at the back of
the mirror on the quicksilver it is gen
orally for the reason that the glass is
hung where a strong sunlight can rest
upon 1t. At first tiny specks no larger
than pin points make their appear
ance, then they spread, becoming
larger and finally meet in a cloudy eff.
feet which cannot be remedied except
by a repetition of the quicksilvering
process.
Damp walls are another source OF
damage tc mirrors, for they, too, de-
stroy the quicksilver
