CHICAGO, April 1.-To-night ended
the hottest campaign ever known in
Chicago municipal politics. During the
entire day tomorrow the board of trade,
the banks and business houses gener-

scope for voting. There are three
tickets in the field-DemOcratic,
Republican and Socialist. The

lence. Entire pages of every news
paper in the city have been de-
voted to the contest daily for
nearly fortnight. and the managers of
the different tickets have resorted to
the Importation of speakers from other
cities to stump even the surest wards.
Mayor John A. Roche, the Republican
candidate who is seeking reelection,
is represented as being hostile to
the many projected elevated roads.
The Democratic candidate is De-

Republican machine. Assessor George
Williams more than Mayor Roche
is getting the brunt of this
fight, which is led by Frank
Collier, leader of the new British

non-partisan judiciary. The subject of
anarchy, which was so much discussed
in the last city election, cuts little figure
this time, having lately dropped almost
completely out of sight. A straight So
cialist ticket is up, but has apparently
attracted next to no attention from the
old parties, though at one time there
were 1900 socialist votes polled in Chi

Ladies Vote for the First Time in
Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, April Ia light
vote was polled in the state election to-
day. Grant, the Republican candidate
for justice of the supreme court, is
elected by about $4,000 plurality. and
the Republicans elect the remainder OF
their state ticket by about the same
figures. Considerable interest attended
the charter election in Detroit owing to
the fact that for the first time women
were allowed to vote for school in
spectors. They had four candidates in
the field, one of whom-Mrs. Parsons
is elected. The ladies were quite active
at the polls, and considerable number

SHOT IN COLD BLOOD.
Joe z. Smith Assassinated by
Dave Richmond.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April News
reached this city tonight of murder
which occurred mile east of Plum
mersville Saturday evening about 6
o'clock. Joe P. Smith, negro, was
shot and killed by one Dave Richmond,
a young white man. Smith had been to
Plummersville and was on his way
home when he was overtaken by Rich
mond, who was riding on horseback,
and shot down. There were no
near witnesses to the affair and the par
ticulars about it are meager, but it
seems that Richmond fired three shots
at Smith, the first of which struck him
in the breast near the heart, and was
enough in itself to kill him. The shoot
ing was witnessed by some men who
were at work in field near by, and the
negro was seen to throw up his hands
and then fall. Richmond turned and
rode back toward Plummerville, and,
meeting a wagon, in the road, dis
mounted and left the horse there. Some
deputy sheriff came up about this time,
arrested Smith and took him to Morrill,
ton. where he is now in jail, and where
his examining trial will take place
Wednesday.

the court. Mr.. Browning interrupted
with, Il have not yielded the fiOOr.'
Gen. Butler made several vain efforts to
fix the attention of the court, and, failing,
said: "Your honor, 1 don't propose TO
be snapped at by a cur" To this Mr..
Browning replied: "And may it please
the court. ] don't propose to be bullied
by bulldog" The contestants quieted
down when the judge threatened to
