was unsuspectingly .Iured and
then slain, are in custody.
While the inquest was being
held today citizens of the vii

ANTE-ELECTION TALK
The Ballot War Will Occur on The
9th of April.
FOR FOUR NEW ALDERMEN
How the Situation Appears To-
Day-There May Ee Many
Hltches and Springs In
side of a Month.

Up to this time little has been done
anent the city election, which is soon to
be held in this city. Just one month from
to-day a battle of the ballots will be
waged. which, though not of momentous
import yet will be exciting enough to be
interesting. Four aldermen are to be
elected, the other officers holding over
another year. This is what may be term
ed an ''off year"
Registration will open at the city hall
on March IL, and continue to March rs.
under the supervision of s. A. Kennicott
and Matt A. Dubrey. All who would vote
must register for this election, as former
registration is null and void.
No party action has been indicated yet
though the populist central committee
has had had several sub rosa consulta-
lions. A formal call for a meeting last
night did not bring out a quorum. One
or two were present, who stated as
question already decided upon, that the
party would put a ticket in the field this
spring.
The democrats will go to the polls as
last year. with their best men on the
ticket the platform based upon the clean
record of the year, the economical meth
cd of handling the citys finances during a
time of the most rapid growth the city
has ever known, and when extensive i'm
provements forced themselves upon the
city. This is the present outlook, though
time may give a different aspect to the
situation and citizens ticket lead out in
the campaign.
The retiring aldermen are Alderman
Morris. populist, of the First ward: AL
derman Cox, democrat of the Second
ward: Alderman Lesser, republican, of
the Third ward, and Alderman Williams,
populist Of the Fourth ward.
From the sentiment of these gentlemen,
as expressed on various occasions. they
will not be candidates for reelection of
their own personal desires. The alder
mans job is not a sinecure and the
weight of honor has rested heavily upon
them. However, patriotism and the
wishes of their constituents may prevail
upon them TO consent to again enter the
race.
The issue will be interesting in another
way, that with a full vote some idea may
be gained of the growth of the city. In
all wards there have been many new
houses erected, notably in the Second.
Third and Fouth. and the result upon the
vote Is already exciting comment

that the obituary sketch was true to his
