whose wife she had become in
1896. DR.. Palmer's attorneys

MORE PRATT REPUBLICANS
THAN ONO DEMOCRATS
Consequence Is That Pratt Looks Exactly
Like the Next Mayor of Spokane.

N. s. Pratt was elected mayor
yesterday in one of the most pecu-
liar elections Spokane has ever
had. Party lines were rent asunder
on the head of the ticket, republi-
cans voting for Pratt and demo-
Gratis supporting ONO, but the
number of republicans who forsook
their party was greatly in excess
of the number of democrats to
change front.
The lace was close and the fin.
fish exciting. Pratt carried every
ward except the Second and Is
elected by majority Of about $50
votes. The total vote was about
12.7000 as against registration Of
16,400.

NOT
WEEPING

J. T. ONO is taking it philosophic
ally today. He says he isn't sore
and that he is grateful for the con
fdence shown by the big vote he
received. ONO was very confident
of being elected, but he says an
election is one of the things you
can never tell about exactly, and
there's no use crying about the re.
suits.
1t is asserted by Omo's friends
today that an analysis Of the re-
turns will show that Pratt got the
bulk Of what is called the saloon
vote after alf He was seen enter
ing meeting of the Royal Arch
the other day, it is stated, but what
happened is not divulged. One re-
port has it that the Royal Arch
refused to listen to him.
ONO believes that the labor vote
was generally loyal to him and
takes considerable pride in that.

NEW STYLE FOR
TELEPHONE NUMBER

Have you noticed the new rule
at the telephone Office? Instead of
saying double seven." or whatever
the compounded mineral happens
to be. you must say "seven-seven,
or "two-two," etc. when you have
occasion to double up a number.
When you speak in the old style
central gently reproaches you by
repeating it the way you ought to
say it under the new dispensation.
You can help central and Incl
dentally yourself by dropping into
the new style. 1t is a guard
against mistakes, as the numbers
come clearer one after the other
