maries. All morning politicians, big
and little, stamped into Senator War
ren's hotel on Michigan avenue, or
stamped in the Grand, tracking with
greasy mud the muslin that had been
stretched over the carpet in Colonel
Talbott's headquarters.
It was a wicked battle they fought
out at the polls that day. The War
rem men had control of the party
organization and named the judges
and clerks. Inmates Of lodging
houses, and Lake Front hoboes, their
rags steaming in the warm rain, were
hauled from poll to poll in big moving
vans, and voted wherever Warren
| needed votes and as often as he
pleased.
At o'clock the polls closed. War
rem carried some of the districts, the
opposition others. Both claimed the
victory It was left for the conven-
ton to decide.
The colonel, for some reason, pre-
ferred not to get up the next morn
ing, but opened his mail, read his pa
pers. ate his breakfast, and finally
held his morning levee, the last of
the campaign, in bed The politicians
who had been waiting outside for an
hour, grumbled at such Incidence,
and, when they were finally admitted
to their leaders presence, suspected
him Of initiating the undemocratic
righteousness of Senator Warren, who
received his callers in bed every morn
ing. But by o'clock they had re-
ceived their final instructions and
scattered to the conventions, and
when Mosely and Garwood sauntered
in from the breakfast-room, they found
only few stragglers, who fingered
on in the hope of beer money, at
least, for their imaginary services on
this decisive day Malachi Nolan, in
black garments and white cravat,
came presently, his big diamond flash
ing. his face shining and red from
his dull razor, and then Carroll, at
the sound of whose young step and
fresh laugh the colonel succeeded in
evoking a wan, tired smile.
"Just lazy, that's all" he declared
reassuringly. seeing Carroll halt in
surprise. He reared himself on his
elbow, and as he raised his head, it's
white hair all tangled, Carroll saw
how haggard he was. He never had

why he'll work like he'll to carry Cook.
He lies when he says he doesn't give
a damn how she goes tomorrow
Gle always does that" said the col
onel, from his bed.
Carroll, to whom political calcula-
tons savored always of the mystery
of higher mathematics, said:
Seems to me you could figure it
better than that"
"Well, you try it," said Garwood,
dropping his pencil and fitting back in
his chair.
There was not much hope, and the
soberness deepened. After a while
there was knock on the door, and a
shaven head was thrust in.

the shaver head. ANY fgur's to give

he consulted his paper, as if to
make sure of the number-"we have
fifty-three, and that doesn't include
the nine hold-over senators who are
with us. We can lose ten of them
at the polls and still have enough to
control the caucus. In Cook county,

Of the coloners headquarters. The
crowd was noisy, profane and conf
dent But inside, the steering COM
mittee was assembled, and it was
very sober. Garwood, at the Uttered
table, had been scratching his head
over political equations
Conventions had been held in all
the thirty-six outside districts, and
sixty-nine candidates had been nomi-
mated, fifty-fve representatives and
fourteen senators. OF these they
could depend upon twenty-nine. It
requires fifty-two to control a legis-
latiye caucus, when the party has a
bare majority on joint ballot, so they
would have to nominate at least TWEEN
try-three of their candidates in Cook
county to get caucus majority, as

Walla Walla, Wash, April 25-
Especial D-Outhit more than three
to one. Walla Walla yet managed to
annex the third straight victory yes
terday from the Pendleton Bucka-
rOoes by a 5-4 score by virtue of the
breaks in the luck, a timely homer
and a few costly bobbles. A decision
which McKune questioned in the
ninth gave the Bears the winning run.
Dad CARRIER, who did the twirling
for the locals was pounded all over
the lot by the hard hitting Bucks.
McKune used three pitchers, Berger,
Ashenfelter and Wells and, while
the Bears could touch none of them
up they were all as wild as the pro-
verbal March hares. Berger pitched
three innings and during that time
walked three men and hit two. Ash
enfelter worked for two innings and
he. too showed a disposition to hand
out tickets so Wells was substituted
in the sixth and also had trouble with
his control
PendIeton opened the scoring in the
second inning with two marks. Ha-

choice. Both scored when Augustus
hit safely. Varian added another
touch in the fourth when he hit safe

Walla Walla managed to send a
runner around in the fourth also.
Lundstrum, hit by pitched ball,

pitch and scored on an error. The
score was evened in the fifth when
Childers poled out a homer with
CARRIER on. In the sixth the Bears
took the lead when Davis walked, was
sacrificed to second and registered on
Sheely's hit.
The game was tied up in the sew

passes issued to Wells and Cowan.
Lodell hit to CARRIER who cut off Nc

North Yakima, April 25.-North
Yakima took the third of the series
here yesterday and advanced to third
place. The score was three to two.
North Yakima secured but five
hits. two less than La Grande, but
they were punched and brought in the
winning runs. La Grande's scores
were secured in the fourth inning
when Nadeau, who has hit a home
run in each of the preceding games,
repeated. With one man on he hit
ball that ordinarily would have gone
for two bags The ball hit Just in
side the fence but bounded over and
added to his string of home runs
These were the only scores that La
Grande could secure, though several
times she had men on bases and
scores looked likely. Good pitching
by Kile and the excellent support
given him by his team mates kept the
visitors from getting men across.
Kile pitched in good form and
struck out six of the opponents
Mountain did almost as well, making
five men go to the bench.

DON'T STAY GRAY! SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN YOUR HAIR BEAUTIFULLY

You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur" and draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
Do this at night and by morning all
gray hair disappears and after anoth-
er application or two becomes beau
tifully darkened and more glossy and
luxuriant than ever. You will also
discover dandruff is gone and hair
has stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and you'll
look years younger. Inquiry shows
all pharmacists in town here sell lots
of it.

Mixture of Sage and Sulphur
Prevents Dandruff and
Falling Hair.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally; so
evenly. 1t is also splendid to remove
dandruff, cure itching scalp and stop
falling hair.
Preparing this mixture, though. at
home is a mussy and troublesome
task. For about so cents a bottle
you can buy at any drug store the
ready-to-use tonic called, "Wyeth's s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
Some druggists put this mixture up
themselves but make it too sticky, so
insist YOU want "Wyeth's" then there
will be no disappointment.

Mckune is a pretty mad Irishman.
He considers yesterdays game lost by
raw decision, He tried to express
himslf by the telephone last night
but wires refused to carry more than
the general impression that he was
sore to his heart.
When a team gets ten hits against
its opponents three and then loses
game. 1t does looks as if something
went little wrong with all due re-
for squareness.
Walla Walla certainly stands with
the luck goddess. Maybe it's because
her players make so many sacrifices

not be too severely criticised

CARRIER did some sensational field
work for Walla Walla yesterday. He
stopped seven grounders and got one

backing up Childers on a wild peg
from the field.
Varian broke into the hit column
yesterday with three hits in four
times up.

Philippe Nadeau bounced out a
homer. With three four-ply swats to
his credit in three games and all of
the runs made by the Spuds credited

won't fight for a game wouldn't be
worth going far to see, but it's going
little too strong when the players
begin nagging. There was a ques-
tionable decision at first in the last
OF the ninth, when Chill got a life on
an error, but those sitting near the
bag say that he was safe, Lodell not
