Every Friday the sultan goes to the
Mosque of Saint Sophia to worship.
There is a big parade of soldiers and
police. The diplomats put on their
evening clothes and stand in GER

eye. General Wallace had the Gus
tomary evening clothes worn in Amer

him wandering around Saint Sophia in
broad daylight in such togs he would
laugh at him.
An idea occurred to him, which he
proceeded to carry out. In one of his
trunks he had a dress uniform of the
major general of the United States
army-one of the old style, which
made the wearer look like a cross be-
tween a member of a political cam
paign and a super in a comic opera
chorus. There was big red feather
for his cceked hat and enough gold
lace to string over his chest to dee
crate a Christmas tree. His man pol
ished the buttons until even the nose
on the eagles was beginning TO wear
off. After General Wallace got into
the dress. he pinned on his breast
every medal he owned. Some of them
were worthy decorations. honestly

SOME BEAUTIFUL
LOCAL CALENDARS

The credit for introducing the most
meautiful souvenir photographs of
scenery around Honolulu rests without
question with James J. Williams, whose
studies is on Fort street below Hotel
street. The collection embraces bits
from the grounds of private residences;
groups of cocoanut trees and an oc-
casiOnal beach scene. In one or two
instances they are reminders of some
of the scenery of the old South, each
topping a little calendar pad for 1909
A row of beautiful old kiawe trees at
the side of a green hedge is all that
is needed to take ones thoughts to
Savannah and bring to memory the old
mosscovered oaks in Bonaventure. Sun
set effects are in the collection with
out being OverdOne for the coloring in
every instance is natural and the greens
true to Hawaiian nature. A picture of
a Hawaiian fisherman in the act of
casting his net is a splendid type and
the picture of his grass hut attached to
the opposite page of the calendar IS
something for visitors to take away
with them as a remembrance and for
residents to send to their friends
abroad. Trees are produced with
truthfulness obtained generally by the
camera alone and the reflections in the
pools make a splendid combination.
Some of the subjects are old but in
new and more beautiful form. These
are for sale at Mr. Williams gallery;
also in all shops where souvenirs and
curios are sold

WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. 1.-The
meeting of the Shoshone County Bar
association was held in the cham
bers of Judge w. W. Woods last
evening. the bar being fully repre-
scented, for the purpose of taking ac-
tion in regard to promulgating an
address to the voters of the county
relative to the two proposed consti-
tutional amendments to be voted on
Tuesday These amendments fol-
low:
No. shall section of article l S
of the constitution of the state Of
Idaho be amended so as to permit
county assessors and tax collectors
to employ such deputies and clerical
help as the business Of their ONCE
may require?

of article 5 and section s of article

diction of the district court to all

Oeur d'AIene Precincts Register
$3.50 Votes.

An approximate estimate of the
entire registration from the reports
received at the headquarters of the
political parties, and those of the
county seat removal committee is
S4S4. All the precincts have been
heard from, but the reports are not
entirely authentic, and it will be
probably late this evening before an
absolute correct estimate can be Sc
cured. The registration for the city
Is 1888. Occur d'Alene is the ban
ner precinct having 11O4, and Sher-
man is next with 992. Kootenai
has $40. Lewis 161, Lincoln Ala and
Lacrosse SO. It is estimated that
10 per cent Of the total registration
may fail to vote. for one cause or
another and according to this the vote
for the county will be about S491
and that of Occur d'Alene at about
1921. Occur d'Alene is confident of
winning the county seat fight by a
good majority over the necessary
two-thirds. 1t is thought that the
thorough organization in this city on
county seat removal will reduce the
usual loss in the vote from registra-
ton figures to three per cent or
less.
George Harding has been placed in
charge of Occur d'Alene precinct for
tomorrow by the county seat removal
committee, and will make his head
quarters at the Occur d'Alene Fur
niture store. His phone numbers
will be Bell SO and Interstate SOB.
Robert Elder has been placed in
charge of Kootenai and Fred L. Tiff
fanny for Sherman. Any one desir-
ing information as to the manner Of
voting or any thing else with rela-
ton to the election can do so by call
ing on those in charge. Those to
have charge of the other precincts
have not been selected, but will be
this evening.
The voting places for the various
precincts are as follows: Kootenai
814 Fifth street. the Swedish church
building; Lincoln. 1920 Second
street; Sherman, old pavilion build
ing; Occur d'Alene, the east room of
the Nexon block; Lewis, the Lewis

SOCIALISTS TO

H. A. Barton, Their Candidate
for Congress Predicts
Increased Vote.

II. A. Barton, candidate on the
socialist ticket for congress, returned
to the city this morning from cam
paign of the southern portion Of
the state. Mr. Barton is very opti-
mistlc with relation to the political
situation, and predicts that the social
istic party will cast a heavy vote IN
the state election.
II found business conditions
throughout the state very good" said
Mr.. Barton. and especially Is this
true of the farming districts, but
after wandering over the state ! was
mighty glad to get back to Occur
d'Alene. and In my judgment there
is no town In the state that compares
with II for scenic beauty. climate and
business.
1T is my opinion that Taft will
carry the state, but he Will fall short
of any $1,000 majority. and viii do
well II he carries the state BY 1000
or 5000. As for Taft. a large ma
tority Is claimed by the republicans
for the state ticket. but Il fl my
opinion that II II creeps In at all. It
will be by 3 mighty slender majority,
and ] believe that Hastings. Lansdon
and Hamer will 20 down in defeat.
4 great many people are going to
vote the socialist ticket. because
they claim that the tickets Of both
Of the old parties are controlled
BY the corporate influence in and out
Of the state. and for that reason
will not support either.
The socialist party Is growing. and
this year will cast a very heavy vote.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. /.
This Sunday, as has always
been the custom on the Sunday
preceding election in Utah.
the utterances of the Mormon priest
hood at their various ward meeting
houses were closely analysed by the
politicians, and as last instructions
those high in ecclesiastical authority
advised congregations to vote the re-
publican ticket. The American or
anti-Mormon party is strong 10 Salt
Lake county and the members of the
dominant church are anxious to con-
eentrate their votes in such manner
as to retain control of the county
government. This was generally
given by the speakers as a reason for
their political advise.
The threat of the American party,
II victorious in the county OF Salt
Lake, to prosecute the heads of the
church who live here aud are sus-
tanning polygamous relations has
awakened so much feeling that the
national campaign is largely obscur-

No. 2 The purpose OF the amend
ment was to relieve the present con-
gestion Of court business by abolish
ing the probate courts and creating
a district court in each county. Al
though the bar generally favors q
district court for each county, yet

amendment the bar association IN

win not effect a reform and the re-
lief intended for the following rea-
sons:
l. 1t directly conflicts with con-
stitutional amendment No. 1 in that
No. 2 abolishes probate courts while
No. l provides for the election OF a
probate Judge.
2. Amendment No. / was pro-
posed for the purpose of permitting
county assessors to employ such
deputies and CLERICAL help as the busi-
ness OF the Office may require.
Amendment No, conflicts with No.
l in not providing for such CLERICAL as
sistance in the assessors ONCE, and
one or both amendments would be
invalid If adopted by reason of these
conflicts.
Time Is Not Certain.
3. The time that the amendment
takes effect. IL adopted is uncertain.
In one place 1t provides 1t shall go
into effect Immediately. and In
another it shall go into effect on the
second Monday in January 1911.
4. Under the present law the dis
trict judge receives $4,000 a year.
The proposed amendment reduces
this salary in Shoshone county to
$4,000 year. and considering the
Importance OF the ONCE OF district
judge. the salary is inadequate to
command the services of a lawyer OF
such ability as the office requires.
The proposed amendment does not

altered. The legislature has the
