men; about voting mo" on the con-
stitutional amendment TO be submitted
a. the ensuing election. Do they COM
prehend what IL means &c permit every
municipal corporation to determine lis
own method OF taxation?
The county Of King affords an excel
lent example Of the possible conse-
quences. The county is a municipal

more. the city Of Seattle and school
district No. !. OF each Of which, for tax
paying purposes, 80 per cent OF the pop
uiation are identical Suppose the
amendment should carry and each
corporation" started out To adopt
different method. The city might con-
tinue the present method, the county
exempt all agricultural land. and the
school district exempt all land. Then
a far greater burden would be placed
upon all improvements and upon all
the exemptions or the class OF exemp
tons. We might be taxed under one
method for county purposes. under an
other for city purposes. and under an
other for school purposes.
Not only would the average citizen be
driven almost crazy trying To keep track
of his different assessments, but the
difference in method of appraisement
and collection would add enormously

ficientiy heavy.

SITUATION IN IDAHO,
Control Is Between the Republican
and Fusion Tickets.

Boise. Ida, Nov. 5-The campaign in
this state is drawing to a close, with
all parties Very confident. There are
three tickets in the field, Republican,
Populist and fusion between Demo-
Gratis and silver Republicans. The be-
lief of the Republican and fusion lead
ers is that the election lies between
their tickets, but the Populists are also
confident, and are betting on the cleo
ton of Congressman Gum. 1t is ad-
lnitted by all parties that the Repub-
licans have made great gains over two
years ago, when they polled only 5000
votes out Of a total of $4,000. Ma
tional issues have dominated the can
Yass, special stress being laid on the
free coinage question. The Republicans
claim they will elect their candidate,
W. B. Hepburn, to congress, but the
fusionists are equally confident that ex-
Congressman Wilson will be successful
The woman vote is a new element in
the campaign, and the politicians are
at a loss to know how to estimate the
effect of its appearance. The women
have generally registered. In some sec
tions all have done so, but in others
there are numbers that viii not par
ticipate. The women as a rule take
lively interest, and some of the most
enthusiastic workers are women.

by. I am a temperance lecturer, and
at breakfast Mrs. Highly handed me
lovely cup of ccffee with the remark,
Did you ever realize that it is not at
all consistent for temperance people
to continually advise others to avoid
poisonous stimu1ants, and yet day by
day drink such articles themselves?
This is particularly true of coffee,
which is one of the most powerful mar
cotics in existence, although it's effects
are not shown as actively as whisky
Il was rather surprised at her remark,
but after thinking it over moment,
I realized that it was apropos. I had
noticed many cases of nervous pros
tration that was directly traceable to
coffee, for the individuals at once be-
gan to improve when they left off cof-
fee and l had found it so in my own
experience.
Il had made several attempts to
break away from the habit, and had
failed, much to my disgust, and, often
times, when addressing an audience
on the evils of liquor drinking, I had
in my own heart felt that / was very
much like an old topper, the only differ
ence being that l wanted coffee and
he wanted liquor.
Mrs. Highly went on to say: We
have abandoned coffee entirely in our
family, and are using the Postum Ce-
real Food Coffee made down at Battle
Creek, Mich. and l think when you
drink this cup, you will agree with me
that it is in many respects a more de-
licious beverage than ordinary coffee.
for it has a smoother, more fascinat-
ing taste, much like the very highest
grades of mild Java
u drank the cup slowly and realized
that her remarks were true, and | want
to say to you that I gained no more
valuable knowledge at that convention
in Wyoming than that which l learned
at the breakfast table where had my
first cup of Postum. have since used
it regularly, very greatly to my ply
steal and mental advantage, and have
found no difficulty whatever in doing
away with coffee No one can tell
how glad 1 am to be free from it's bane-
full effects. / can now make a tenn
perance address with clear con-
science, and perhaps. I might add,
clearer complexion than formerly.

Little Interest In Texas.

Dallas. Tex, Nov. 5.-The close of the
campaign in Texas is without interest.
There is a certainty of Ii Democrats in
congress out of a total of 13, the two
doubtful being the Tenth and Twelfth.
In the Tenth Congressman Hawley, Re-
publican, claims the election, but the
Whole force of the state organization
has been thrown against him, and the
fight has been bitter. The betting is
slightly in favor of Hawley. In the
Twelfth, Congressman Slaydon, Demo-
crat, who voted for the Dingley pro-
tective tariff BILL is opposed by ex-Con-
gresham George H. Noonan, and they
have canvassed the district for several
weeks. Both sides claim the result by
a good-sized majority

state officers, seven congressman and
a legislature that viii elect a United

White.
This year the Democrats. silver Re
publicans and Populists have fused and
nominated a ticket, opposed to which
are the Republican and Prohibition
tickets. There was a split at the Dem
ocratic-Populist fusion convention, and
the middle f-the-road Populists broke
away and nominated a state ticket of
their own. Their candidate for gov
ernor, however. has Withdrawn, and
the disconnected PoDulists are not ex-
pected to make much of showing.
The various candidates have all
StumDed the state thoroughly, and, as
usual, every one seems confident of his
own election. The contest for governor
has been particularly warm. Congress
man James G. Mcguire is the fusion
party candidate, and Henry T. Gage,
a Los Angeles lawyer, heads the Re
publican ticket. There has been large
amount of money Wagered on the gov
ernor's fight, and Gage rules a slight
favorite over Mcguire. No one at Dem
'ocratic headquarters would risk a pre-
diction as to the result, while the Re-
publican leaders claimed that Gage
would be elected by a comfortable ma
jority The Republicans also claim the
legislature, and expect to elect most of
the congressman

Seattle, Wash, Nov 5.-Compared
with two years ago, there has been lit
tie interest in the campaign, which will
not close until next Monday night A
considerable falling off in the vote is
indicated. The campaign has been
confined chiefly to local issues. The
claims of the campaign committees are
widely divergent. e. D. Mclaughlin,
chairman of the fusion campaign COM
nittee, representing the Populists.
Democrats and silver Republican or
CARNATIONS, said tonight:
we will re-elect Congressman Lewis

which viii choose a successor to United

Chairman J. II. Schively of the Re-
publican state central committee, said:
THE Republican ticket will be elected
by a majority ranging from 1000 to
1000. There is a landslide now setting
in our way, and the majorities for our
candidates may even be double the
figures named. We viii elect at the

publicans claim is of the districts, Civ
ing ten to the Democrats. The latter,
on the other hand, say they will elect
II senators and the Republicans four,
calling, among others, the five Chicago
districts doubtful
The present congressional delegation
consists of IL Republicans, four Demo-
Gratis and one fusionist The Repub-
licans assert that they will gain one
or two seats. The Democrats, on the
contrary, are confident of carrying Chi
cago, and if they do, their expectation
of several new congressman may be
realized. Silver formed part of the
basis of the campaign of the Demo-
Gratis in the congressional districts,
considerable stress being laid also on
the McCleary bill, which, it was MAIN
tanned, would, if passed, result in a
bankers trust"
The Republicans urged adherence to
the gold standard, and the necessity
of electing men who would support the
policy of the administration in dealing
with expansion and other questions
arising out of the Spanish war.
