The Election of the Republican
Citizens Ticket Would Be
a Calamity.

The contest for control of the mu-
nicipal government has for a week
or more occupied more attention To-
cally than the State campaign.
The Democrats who have so sue
cesstully conducted the business af-
fairs of the city since 1890 are en-
gagged IN a fight this year with a
fusion ticket backed by the solid
colored vote in the contested wards.
most of the white Republicans and
small minority of Democrats and
former Democrats. In a contest with
the same elements in 1897, the Dem
ocrats were successful in four of the
seven wards by maioritles ranging
from to ~ votes. Conditions this
year are much more favorable.
The wards have been CHARGED to
some extent. The Republicans who
two years ago supported six former
Democrats, this year demanded two
places themselves on the Citizens
ticket, thus making it plain that
they are behind the whole move
ment. This has caused many Dem
ocrdts who were misled before. to
cut loose from the so-called indie
pendents this time. These recIa-
nations appear to more than offset
the fresh OBJECTIONS by reason OF
state issues. In addition to these
advantages, the excellent business
showing made by the Council this
year IN reducing the bonded debt
more than $4,000 and at the same
time reducing taxes $3.50 on the

Mir. R. A. Rogers fled in the chalcery court an exparte petition praying the Court to cancel and annull the present plat in which he has been assessed taxes upon since the survey was made in 1888, by County Surveyor. Jonh J. Martin.
 The petitioner in his exparte pro- ceeding belore Chancellor Elliott sought an order that would require the clerk of the court to describe said lands on the tax books of said county as the fractional south half of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter (east of railroad) in section 8.
 The land about which Rogers complains was platted into blocks and lots by County Surveyor Mar tin in 1888, without the advice or consent of the petitioner, Rogers
 Chancellor Elliott, uponi hearing the testimony, caused the following order to be entered of record 'sThe Court after examining the peti- tion and being fully advised as to the order to make, doth order and decree that the said plat of said land be cancelled, set aside, and held for naught, and that the said lands be placed upon the tax books by the said assessor as above de- scribed, and valued accordingly.
 The description of the lard as it will now be entered since the courts order, is ''that he is the owner of all that part of the south half of tEe northeast quarter of the southeast quarter lying east of the St. Louis Southw stern Railway in secnon 8, township 6, south range g west con. sistiog of about 10 acres.
 This property will now be assess. ed by the acre instead of the lot.

Special correspondence Of the Graphic.
 YORKTOWN, ARK, Sept. 25.-Last Saturday evening Henry J. Wool dridge shot and killed Ivory Jack son. They had been on bad terms for some time and while Woodbridge was passing by the residence of Jackson, the difficulty was renewed with above results.
 Esquire Torian viewed the body of the deceased and as there were no witnesses to the killing, no inquest was held.
 Woodbridge went to Star City yesterday and surrendered himself to Sheriff Maroaey and will have a preliminary examination before a justice of the peace one day this week.
 Both parties to the killing were eolored. Woodbridge has hereto fore had a very good record, but this killing has produced much ad- verse criticism, as Jackson was en- tirely unarmed and at his own home when killed.
