or school board members. Taking the
candidates in all wards there appear
ed to be little objection to any of them,
and as result. the city has new set
of councilmen, and a new school board
that will, we believe look we'll to the
interests of the city.
A few evils have crept into city af-
fairs in recent years that should be
abolished, and it shall be the pleasure
of the DEMOCRAT to call public atten.
ton to such evils at an early date,
when the new men have put on official
harness and have become accustomed
to their duties.
The result, when the votes were
counted out, was surprise to many,
especially the would-be tixers who ap-
peared to think they had tho city by
the tail and a down hill pull.
In the first ward the Independent
ticket was elected, with one exception.
The new officers are: Councilmen, i,
Henry Myers, independent, and Jim
Savage, republican; school boord, Hen
ry j. Klein and Pat Boughan, inden-
pendent. Boughan and Klein are DEM
ocrats. and Myers and Savage republi-
cans.
In the second ward the republican
ticket was elected, Theo Griffith having
no opposition for councilman, and A.
J. Buckland scratching in as member
of school board by seven majority over
III. Eppstein, independent. Epp. made
great race, for mau whose name
was not on the ticket.
In the third ward Gus Schaeffer
had no opposition for member Of the
council. Tom Clayton, republican,
was beaten for council by George Kin
caid, independent, by one vote, and
Isaac Reynolds, independent, did the
same thing to George Thatcher, repub.
lican, for member of school board.
The fourth ward was red hot. Ed.
McNown, independent, beat John
Durkill, republican, for the council, and
d. j. Newton, independent, beat E.
2. Smith, republican, by one vote for
member of school board.
In the school territory outside the
bity limits no election was held, there
being 10 tickets or booths prepared.
The law says the election shall be held
in the same manner as the city election
and that the outside district shall be
entitled to two members of the school
board. The voters, however, got to-
gether at the voting place and recon-
mended S. II. Gwinn as the member of
the board, and he will probably be ap-
pointed. In justice to voters, two
members suould be appointed.

Of the statement made to Parliament to-
day, by Under Secretary CurzoD, that the
United States proposed settlement OF the

Olney, within the past two weeks made
such proposition through Ambassador
Bayard and that Great Britain has con-
sented to discuss it with "a view of effect
ing an honorable settlement.
While the state department officials de-
cline TO divulge the nature OF Secretary
Olney's latest suggestion to Lord Sails
bury in regard to the suggested method of
settling the Venezuelan dispute, it is I'M
derstood that the way has been opened for
negotiations which are expected to result
in some plan of adjusting the boundary
claims satisfactorily to all concerned.

Olney' proposal has not actually reached
