The Democrats point with pride to the fact that 624 votes were cast at the Democratic primaries and that com prises the Democratic vote, but this number lack 233 votes of being one half of the registration in the county, and from the standpoint of the Demo- crats it looks like they will lack just that number of votes in carrying the election. At their own figures there is no chance of the election of the Demo- cratic ticket in CoconinO county this year.
 The office of sheriff is one of the important offices of the county. The expenses of the county largely arise in this office and the administration of the affairs of this office should be in the hands of man who will run it in an economical manner. The Re- publicans have such man as candi- date. Harry Henderson is man of education and executive ability and of unquestioned bravery. He has the confidence of the voters and they be- lieve he should be elected to the office of sheriff.
 George G. Wharton of Williams and the Republican candidate for ,xor,bar oF tha Aoord of e,,roryie nrs has been interviewing the voters in this vicinity this week. Mir. Wharton has for the past nine years been a resident of Williams, holding an im- portant position with the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber company. He is a thorough business man, and is just the kind of man needed in the ad- ministration of county affairs and he will receive the support of every Re- publican and large number of Dem ocrats at the polls.
 Judge J. c. Milligan has filed his petition as an independent candidate for the office of probate judge. He was a candidate for this office in the Democratic primaries and lost the nomination by eight votes, the com mittee delaying the counting of the votes several days beyond the time set in the primary call, to allow the returns to come in from Fredonia-al the votes of that precinct being for his opponent. Mir. Milligan has large number of friends who think the com mittee should have canvassed the re- turns at the time set, and who desire to support him for that office, and hence his candidacy for probate judge.
 Col. Wilson claims credit for the bill passed at the last session of con- gress taxing the Santa Fe railroad in Arizona. The credit properly belongs to citizens of Coconino county, and among them are H. c. Hibben, candidate for recorder; E. M. Doe, candidate for district attorney, and K. S. Clark, then a resident of this county, but now of Yavapai county, and the Re- publican candidate for district attor- ney. These men did more to bring about the passage of the bill than any other individuals. The taxpayers in casting their ballots should take into consideration the fact that Messrs. H. c. Hibben and K. M. Doe made it pos- sible for the county to receive req sonable tax from the railroad com pany.

article for the price of $40. He was
thirsty and took from the boy a bottle
of pop and gave him a twenty dollar bill,
telling him to go and change it. The boy
obeyed leaving his basket of pop bot

boy than the pop bottles and he &C
cordingly disappeared with the former.

while trying to quiet his anxiety with the
reflection that the boy was having a hard
time in finding the change. But when

the case is brought is that such pro-
cedure amounts to Imprisonment with
out hearing, in violation of section l.,
article 6, of the federal constitution,
which grants an accused person
speedy hearing and to be confronted
by witnesses against him."
The circumstances are these:
Paul Davis was arrested on Aug. 81
on charge of grand larceny. The
case was brought up for hearing in the
municipal court Aug. 80. The hearing
was then postponed until Sept. 6, and
on that date, after protest and OBJ
pection, the hearing was again put off
to Sept. 9.
James r. Hickey, attorney for the ac-
cused, secured a writ of habeas corpus
yesterday afternoon, which is return
able Monday at 2 p. m, at which time
Judge Otis will decide the unique ques-
ton.
If he decides that the continuance
amounts to an Imprisonment, the pris-
oner will be discharged.

START CAMPAIGN FOR
INCREASED PARK TAX
Commissioners Will Appeal to candi-

in Having Charter Amended.

AS soon as the primary election is
over the board of park commissioners
will start public agitation looking to-
ward the passage Of the amendment
to the charter permitting the board a
larger appropriation for the mainte-
nance of the parks under it's care. The
amendment is to be attached to the
regular ballot, and every effort will
be made to secure for it the necessary
two-thirds vote.
No plans as yet have been made for
the bringing of the amendment to
the attention of the voters, but they
will probably take the form of per-
sonal appeal to the candidates Of both
parties to mention the matter fire.

AberIe Will Take Stump.
President Wheelock will shortly call
a special meeting of the board, at
which time plan of action will be
prepared and the boards campaign
actively commenced. Commissioner
Daniel Aberle says he intends to take
to the stump in furthering the boards
cause, and he is actively supported by
the other members, who say they will
leave no stone unturned in an effort
10 secure the passage OIL the dIneHu-
ment.
The amendment in brief provides for
the imposition of a 1 mill tax on the
assessed valuation for park purposes,
instead of fixed amount, $4,000,
which is now the law, the retention
of all receipts accruing from any
source and the use of unexpected bal
ances at the end of each fiscal year.
To Open PhaIen Park.
The mill tax, it has been figured, will
bring the board about $4,000. and this,
with the receipts, will permit many
things that the members are now I'M
able to do. The principal thing the
amendment will bring about will be
the opening and improving of Phalen
park. If the amendment is passed the
board figures on having Phalen park
open and ready for visitors within the
next two years. This will include the
extension of the street car tracks to
the park gates.
It is the intention of the board to
convert the park and lake into large
aquatic resort, in which toboggan
slides, chutes and other aquatic con-
trivances will be the features.

TALKS OF new CHURCH
REV. s. G. SMITH DESCRIBES
PEOPLES STRUCTURE
Edifee Is Expected to Be Completed by
Dec. Twill Contain Many Improve
ments, Among Which Will Be an
Organ Operated by Electricity From
Gallery.

Speaking of the new Peoples church,
which is now in process of construction
above the ashes of the old, Rev. Sam
uel G. Smith last night said:
1--WE expect to have it completed by
Dec. 1. The building is now really
we'll along in construction. The heavy
work is done. The basement is COM
pleted and the floor of the auditorium
with the minor partitions are in place.
'"The new building will be opened
with a religious festival continuing for
several days, at which important
phases of religious work and practical
questions will be discussed by promi-
nent men. The programme is not yet
arranged. y
"The exterior Of the church will be
much the same with the exception of
the roof, which will be- of slate. The
seating capacity of the auditorium will
be about the same, but the galleries
will be smaller and will be carried to
the north walls.
1.-THE platform will be much larger
and will add dignity to the church. The
organ is now being builtltn Boston and
will be installed before, the church is
opened. 1t is expected that it will sur
pass the organ destroyed by fire.
Organ Works by Electricity.
cit has one feature entirely new in
this part Of the country and of which
few exist anywhere, and that Is the
electro organ. 1t is a small instru-
ment, which will be placed in the rear
Of the gallery and played by the same
key board as the main organ, the
whole being worked by electric action.
This arrangement is a novel one and
will afford many delightful surprises
in the production of organ music.
.'There will be sixty six windows in
the auditorium and each is to be of
stained glass, embodying series of
ideas which makes a unity of the
whole work. 1t is believed that this
feature of the church will surpass any,
thing attempted in the Northwest.
Mural Decorations Are Fine.
"Still another feature Of the church
will be the mural decorations which
are being produced by Carl Gutherz, of
Washington, the foremost artist in this
country in categorical work. Mr..
Gutherz will cover the entire north
wall in which the organ is placed
four great paintings Two Of these are
already completed, and were recently
very highly praised by the art critic
Of the Washington Star, who had
private view of them. The other two
are in process of execution and will
be In place when the church is opened.
Many minor changes too numerous
to mention are being made, and it Is
believed that the interior Of the church
will be one Of the most beautiful In the
country and will have features as dis
tinct and unique as the history Of the
organization itself" 70
The meetings which have been post
poned during the summer months will
be resumed next Sunday, the 7th, at
II o'clock in the Metropolitan Opera
house, where they will be held until the
new church is completed.
