The situation in these counties is
unique. in that no party except the
Democratic Is Offering for the vacan-

there opposition even among the DEM

that for senator OF the Fifth District
to succeed John A. Lusk who became
disqualified by appointment to the Rail-
road Commission.
The uniqueness in the Fifth District
contest is compounded when it is
known that the opposing candidates
are both preachers. both live in the
same beat (Albertville. Marshall coun-
ty), and both are State administration
men. They are Rev C. NJ. Smith. OF
Baptist faith. and Rev. Samuel PhiIlips,
of Methodist denomination. 1t is said

KETCHE[LL WILL GIVE
JOHNSON HARD BOUT
Made Better Showing Than o,Brien
Against Negro-Gossip of the
Rins-Leishtweights
in Trouble.

When Stanley Ketchel and Jack John
son meet in the roped arena, il this
ever occurs, the Michigan wonder
champion of middleweights is going
to give that big negro the hardest bat
tie he ever engaged in. If Ketchel
does not knock him out it will be a
surprise ito James j. Jeffries and MANY
other friends of Ketchel who now claim
he is the greatest middleweight fighter
that ever lived
Jeffries has decided that it will hard
ly be necessary for him to ever return
to the ring. He believes KetcheI will
be able to bring the heavyweight title
back to the white race and he is sim
cere in his, belief Ketchel is heraIded
as a greater middleweight than old
Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons ever was, by
those who are watching the Michigan
mans work 1t is a certainty that if
he is not greater than the man who
beat Corbett out of the heavyweight
title he is just as great. There never
was fighter in the world who showed
as much power as Stanley Ketchel. He
has won and lost the middleweight title
in fights with the same opponent He
has whipped some of the best heavy
weights and he is the man to whip
Johnson and the only one outside of
Jeffries, unless Kaufman should man
age to land a lucky punch and put the
negro away. If he does Ketchel will
give Kaufman an awful battle and
ought to beat him.
Look at the showing made by Jack
Johnson against O'Brien and then con-
slider how Ketchel knocked O'Brien
cold the other night in Philadelphia.
In the O'Brien- johnson fight critics
claimed it was a good draw. John
son did not seem to have any the bet
ter of the argument, while OBrien
landed many good blows and fought
hard and fast all the time. In fact
after the battle was over OBrien did
not show signs of severe punishment
and Johnson had as many marks of
battle as the famous fakir. Ketchel
decisively defeated O'Brien in three
rounds. In every round he had far the
better of the argument and O'Brien did
not have a ghost of a show to win.

Cyclone" had a short meeting They
called each other few things which
would not look good in print and made
many slurring remarks about each
others fighters. 1t may result in the
signing of articles for bout between
Thompson and Mcfarland with a good
side bet attached.
In the meantime Nelson is trying to
pick up some easy coin. He is going
to fight in Oklahoma City and a few
other places, possibly including Kansas
City, in the month of June for the pur-
pose of grabbing dollars out of the
pockets of those who wish to see him
pick lemons. He might as we'll pick
a few as to have Ketchel, johnson and
the others of championship class doing
all the fruit gathering.
While Ad Wolgast is good little
fighter he has not ghost of show to
beat a man of Nelson's class. He will
battle the Dane in July on the coast
but he will lose sure if the Dane is in
his old time form. Such fighters make
good drawing cards but they have no
chance for the championship and ex-
pect the losing end of the purse when
they enter the battle.

DEARTH OF TIPS
ALARMS WATERS.
Lack of aside Money" Will Drive
Them Out, Is Plea at Spokane.

SPOKANE, June 16.-If the present
enforcement of the multiplying law
continues, and there is no raise of
wages made By the employers Of the
walters, practically so per cent of the
walters in the best houses in Spokane
will be driven from the business or
obliged to seek employment in other
cities, according to experienced wait
ers.
ct looks as if go per cent of the
walters in the best houses of Spokane
will be driven from the business here
said Joseph Sheldon, president of the
Joint board Of the allied crafts.
MANY men have families to sup
port, and considering their expense
of laundry and clothing, they cannot
live decently on the wages they re-
ceive If tipping is done away with, 8
raise of from Sc to 81 per week will be
necessary in order to keep the men in
the business"
Some of the walters in the best Spo-
kane houses have already left for Sc.
attic.
The men cannot strike for higher
wages, having recently signed al
agreement which settles the wage
scale for the next two years.

good enough to tell others about. While
taking in the sights at the A.-Y.-P.
exposition, Rev. Berthold and a party
of friends were going through the Ag-
ricultural building and were greatly en-
joying the wonderful products of soil
displayed there. Coming to one much
more tastefully arranged than any of
the others and possessing finer grade
of exhibition articles he remarked:
This must be a California exhibit
for notice the wonderful vegetables and
fruit that are on display. I don't be-
lieve that the state of Washington
could raise anything so fine and these
in the SOUTH"
At this point Will Ritz was seen
standing near the booth and he imme
diately explained that the magnificent
fruit was Walla Walla's

ton of knowing that Walla WaIla had

prised at Walla Wallas showing at
the exposition and | believe that other
of my fellow citizens will receive an
eye-opener when they visit Seattle and
1 know that we all have reason to
feel proud of our country"
The Rev. Berthold's visit to the ex-
position was incidental to his attend
ance at the conference of the German
Lutheran Synod held in Tacoma last
week. About thirty ministers from
the churches in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho were present and the work
of the past year was reviewed and
plans laid for the next II months.
Every department reported the church
work progressing satisfactorily. Eff
forts are being made by the synod
to make the work in Western fields
more attractive to capable ministers
and the aversion with which eastern
men formerly looked upon pastorate
in the west is fast disappearing.

the mayor was feeling anything but

disposed of in a manner that was more
mechanical than indicative of interest

Bachtold and Whiteman are out of the

his great pinch hitting ability. he
more than made good and wound up
the season with a percentage of .341.
This season his game is just the OPP
posite. He has fallen off woefully In
his batting, but is pitching grand ar

Manager McAleer says that Crisis will

West Palouse street improvement tax
be accepted as just and that the prop

be made. The report was adopted
The street committee also recon-
mended that Second street from Rose

E BROOKLYN, June 16.-Nap Rucker
the star left hand pitcher of the Brook
Ign team, is the champion hard luck
twirler of the National league. In
nearly every game this and last season
Rucker has pitched grand ball, but
for some reason he does not seem to
be able to win big majority of his
games Sometimes his team mates fail
to give him good support in the field
If not that, the team takes a slump in
batting. Last year Rucker lost more
games by one run than any other
picher in the National league. This
year it seems to be the same. With
good backing there is little doubt that
Rucker would be we'll up among the
winning twirlers at the end of the sea-
son.
