NEW YORK. June 6-Prior to his de

also on the Lexow committee matter.

There are many elements that 90 to make

This has all been demonstrated now.
The committee Is exceedingly satisfactory.
1t is eminently impartial; it investigates;
IL does not prosecute any one or work to

The first witness whom it hauled over the

Last Day Before the Palloting for Municipal
officials.
CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN OUT HUSTLlNG
Even the Holy quiet of the Sabbath Day
Was Disturbed by Their Arguments
and Plcadings for Prefer.
~ment-Today's Battle.

II Is to be feared that many Of the candi-
dates did not get so much benefit out Of their
church services yesterday as they might.
1t is said that some Of them did not even go
to church at all. At all events, a dozen or
more Of them could be seen ongthc street at
any hour of the day or evening, and those.
who were not in the business parts were
hustling for dear life in the outskirts, patch
ing up their fences and getting ready for
today's snow storm. The city clerk and
his deputy were compelled to fracture the
counting out ballots and getting them ready
for the Judges this morning.
There have been few campaigns that
started out so quietly and ended so noisily.
When the candidates were first nominated the
remark was frequently heard that neither
ticket was strong enough to arouse much
enthusiasm. but that remark Is no longer
heard. The events of the past week have
aroused both sides to a determination to
win. and some Of the hardest work will
probably be done at the polls today that has
ever been known in a local election.
One indication of the interest taken in the
election is the large increase in the regis
tration. 1t is estimated that there were at
least 600 new voters registered last Satur-
day. The bulk Of these were very naturally
in the First, Second and Fifth wards, where
aldermen are to be voted for. In the Sec
ond ward there were 1850 new names regis
tered. in the Fifth 100. While not over 20
per cent were the names of citizens who
have transferred from one ward to another,
1t is reported that a good share of them are
voters who have been imported from across
the river by the democrats.

SETTLED BY DEATH.
Two Mississippians Engage i'll ii Deadly Duel
Innocent Parties Killed

Two Mississippians Engage Ill II Deadly Duel
Innocent Parties Killed
KOSCIUSKO, Miss, March 4.-One of the
saddest and most lamentable events known
in the history of Kosciusko occurred yester-
day. Samuel A. Jackson Is dead the result of
a deadly duel with pistols with w. =. Rat
cliffe, and also two outsiders, Samuel Russell
and William Sanders, young men living a
few miles from this place, were hit by
leaden messengers of death, the former
shot in the mouth and killed instantly, and
the latter shot through the thighs and, 1t is
thought, MORALLY wounded.
The town is naturally in a furore of eX-
temel and well it may be. 1t all grew
out Of a newspaper publication in Ratcliff's
paper claiming Jackson, while at the last
meeting of the legislature, voted for n pop
ulist in a democratic caucus. Mr.. Jackson
claimed that Radcliffe misrepresented him.
When last weeks Star came out with a
card in 1t signed by jackson applying an
epithet to Radcliffe the friends of both men
naturally felt very uneasy lest an encounter
would take place between the two men,
and some advances We're made to reconcile
the controversy by the friends of both men,
but it was not contaminated, and now, as
a result of the negligence of the peace
makers or the obstinacy of the principals,
two men lie cold in death, one NOR
tally wounded and one behind prison bars.
The tragedy occurred at noon in front of
lllc Slltllll - blAAN' NAHi llAN wv - 'SlNFo -
an auction. The men met accidentally. As
soon as they saw each other a fight ensued
in which Radcliffe got Jackson down ON the
floor. Some one pulled Radcliffe off and
Jackson rose to his feet, when two shots
rang out. Before the men had time to fire
again Sheriff Love and his deputies caught
Ratcliffe and ushered him out at the south
entrance of the court house, and We're tax
ing him across the yard. when Jackson
came out at the west entrance, and going
around the corner of the building, came alb
ruptly upon the party with Radcliffe. and
then began the duel 10 the death, each FIR
ing about three shots, one OF which hit
Jackson in the head, killing him instantly.
Two other shots, supposed to ave been
from Ratcliffe's pistol, killed young Russell
and mortally wounded Sanders.
The principals in the affair were two OF
the best known men in this place. Rat
cliffe was editor of the Alliance Vindicator,
leader of the populist party in this section
and representing this county in the legis-
laturc ana opponent Of Hon. j. S. Williams
in the last election for congressional honuTs.
Jackson was one of the best known and
most popular business men of Kosciusku,

Nonpartisan school Board.

The move which was mentioned by The
bee several days ago with reference TO a non
partisan school board is growing in impor-
lance, and many of the leading citizens of
Council Bluffs have placed themselves on
record as being in favor Of it. This city
has had all sorts of school boards at one
time or another, good, bad and Indifferent,
but even when the board was composed of
good material politics have been allowed to
play a part in the proceedings, and petty dis
sensions have arisen repeatedly, which, 1t is
claimed, were due merely to the feeling
among the directors that they had been
elected by a certain political party and
that it was, therefore, their duty to see
that the interests of that party were looked
after. The advocates of the nonpartisan
scheme think that with the board divided
equally between the two parties this old diff
Guilty would be largely, if not entirely, done
away with. Some of the best citizens,
and those most interested in the cause of
education, have interested themselves in the
movement, and it seems likely that some
thing definite will be done. The repub-
Leans will meet at the court house Tuesday
evening to put their candidates in the field,
and the democrats will meet Wednesday
night at the same place for the same pur-
pose.
