surely there is possible, with but a
single meeting, an attraction so great,
a community Of mind and interest SO
strong, that between that first meet

into something stronger. This is es-
pecially true, fancy. Of people with

are apart.
Not that followed any such line

Rheumatic
Pains

"My mother is a great suf-
fercr from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royceheld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your mpney.

Showing himself his opponent s

game, little Pete McVeigh of Seattle
knocked out Jack Lessard of this city
in the 14th round of a scheduled 15
round bout before the Yakima Ath-
letic club in Eagles hall lase evening
Two rapid fire uppercuts to the jaw
followed by a sharp right cross to

glutton for punishment. 1t was not

ton to count Lessard out for no soon

The fight had not gone half a round
until the Seattle boy demonstrated
that he was Lessard's master. Nc
Weighs footwork was of the highest
order; he landed from any position
with either hand, and his defense was
absolutely the best ever seen in this
city. Lessard did not land half 2
dozen clean blows during the fight
with the possible exception of kidney
punches during clinches.

at boxing, the Seattle boy is ever

What have you heard q

What have you heard?'
'The entire east has gone demo-
cratic"
"To HI with the entire east Is
she wet or dry here?"
And there is the story of the cleo
ton day interest in North Yakima
Tuesday. The purely local question of
whether or not the saloons shall be
licensed overshadowed every other
consideration and was the one topic
of discussion throughout the day.
There was considerable betting on the
majority but practically none through
out the day as to the result. Three
hundred was the figure about which
the guesses lowered and around
which the odds were made. The
failure of the majority for the VETS
to reach that figure determined the
ownership of a considerable amount of
money in this city and vicinity.
Voting Began Early.
Voting began early in the morning,
much to the surprise of a great many
of the political experts who thought
that because of the later hour for the
opening of the city primaries there
would be a small early vote. Between
democrats and republicans, vets and
drys and the candidates for the city
primaries most all the available We
hicles for hire We're in use and they
toted to and from the polls a great
many citizens who otherwise would
not have made the effort to exercise
the franchise.
Quiet reigned about the polling
places and there was no excitment

Telephones OverwOrked.
Efforts began about o'clock on the
part of the immense brigade of tele-
phone users to ascertain the results
of an election on which there was
still two hours voting. Men, women
and children called up the newspaper
Offices the telegraph office and such
other places as were expected to have
some knowledge, and insisted on
knowing what hadh appened When

changed and a democratic victory

Democratic landslide figures made
happy the hearts of such men as
