Great Interest Manifested Ia All
Parts OF the County.


The Republican primaries for the
election Of delegates TO the county con-
ventioD, which meets In Ely on Sep
TENDER 20, we're held In the several vot-
ing precincts on Saturday last and II IL
gratifying to note that lively interest
was taken. The result, 80 far a. re-
ported at this date, Is as follows:
ELY.
10 Ely ffty-one votes we're cast With
out any effort to bring In voters. The
delegates elected are a. follows: W.
B. Graham, Walt Rynearson. W. r.
Bassett, A. L. Parker, Joe Newman,
w. @. Lyons, Ben Strandman, W. A.
Moyle, W. G. Gallagher, J. H. Lynch.
LANE CITY.
Lane City, which expects to achieve
the distinction OF being the banner Re-
publican precinct of White Pine coun-
ty, considering the number OF votes
polled, elected the following: L. Fo
Shepherd, c. w. Gaby, Gabriel zanoli,
KEYSTONE PRECINCT.
Keystone precinct, another OF Ely's
lively suburbs, chose a mixed delega-
ton, representing Copper Flat, Pilot
Knob and the Ruth. The delegates
are Edward Gray, Elmer NJ. Bray. B.
G. Lead better, p. j. Kelly and Eugene
Giroux.
HAMILTON.
Hamilton promises to cast an almost
solid vote for the Republican ticket
this Fall. The delegates elected are
Henry Bush, A. T. Shields and Gus
SImons. Judging from present indi.
cations the County Committee made q
mistake in not giving Hamilton two
more delegates.
oscEoLA.
Osceola's primary was we'll attended,
as was to have been expected, and the
delegates chosen we're: James Mar
riott, George Doyle, John Yelllnd, A.
c. Cleveland and Henry w. schilling.
CHERRY CREEK.
Cherry Creek has been looked upon
as Democratic stronghold, but the
fact that twenty votes were cast there
at the Republican primary last Satur-
evening shows that the enterprising
people OF that camp fully realize the
issues at stake In this campaign and are
awake to their own interests. The
delegates are: John Wearne, Geo. F.
Parker, Thos. r. Makon, Dan. r.
Collins, P. S. Goss.

the total number Of votes poIlsd IN

ONE OF THE FEATURES OF THE CELE-
BRATION OF THE FEAST OF
TABERNACLES.

The last day of the Feast of Tabernacles
was celebrated by the orthodox Jews with
enthusiasm, and persons who were not acquaint-
ed with the ancient customs of the Jews would
have been startled had they the interior of
some OF the little houses of worship on that day.
The men took with them TO the synagogue palm
branches commemorative of the decoration on
the booths. and vessels containing wine were
the symbol of joy. While some of the devout
wOrshippers stood with their prayer shawls
wrapped about them repeating the prayers of
the day, others sat at long table, and with
their old Hebrew BOOKS open before them drank
wine and praised the Lord for the harvest.
Wine in the sanctuary was not the most re-
markable spectacle. for in the Eldridge Street
Synagogue several patriarchs smoked cigars
An old man who asked whether smoking
and drinking wine were not out of place in a
house of worship said: The synagogue is a
place OF worship, but it is int ended be a rest
ing place also, not a show place like it is being
made by the modern people. on the abbath it
would be wrong 10 smoke here, because il is
wrong to handle fire that day; but to-day, a
season of rejoicing and thanksgiving we wish
to be joyful before the Lord and if an old man
wants to smoke it is no offence
