City Election.

The TRIBUNE prophesied in the
last issue that the total vote in the
city election would not exceed sew
enty-hve, and the estimate proved
to be a very close one, Mayor
Sabin receiving exactly that num-
Der of votes. The election was a
very quiet one, and there was very
little excitement attached to the
process OF ..saving the town" this
year. Quite a number who went
to the polls to vote learned that
their names had not been regis
tered and were debarred from the
privilege OF casting compliment
tary vote, one OF the candidates
being among the number.
There were few scattering
votes, William Leroy and B.

for mayor and b. Sherman one
for councilman. Following is the

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION COURSE
Prof Fellows Delivers the Fourth Lee.
 ture of the Series

Prof. George E. Fellows delivered his of the Century" before the University Extension course center at Pollock -Steph- ems Saturday night before an apprecia- tive audience. Professor Fellows had two themes-Austria-TIunga and Russia. 11e sketched the condition of Franz Jo- seph's empire from 1S67 Among other points he brought out was that, as para doxical as it might seem Austria Hungary was only strong on account of its disunion. There were many small divisions and many opposing peoples in the empire, and no one of the jarring races was strong, enough to lead a revolt. Franz Joseph himself was all that held the empire together. He alluded to the fact that of all the large powers in the world Austria-Hungary was the only one without a single statesman of fame or potential leadership.
 In discussing Russia, Professor Fellows began with Alexander I. This czar had caught liberal ideas from France. His suo- cessor, Nicholas, was oppressive. Alexan- der II. was real reformer, and his death was blow to the cause of modern civili- zation. Alexander III. did nothing. being terrorized by the assassination of his fa- ther. He spent his life in fear The pres ent Nicholas II. was something of a re- former in quiet Way.
 The next lecture will be on Friday night. and France will be the topic.

COLLINS WITHDRAWS
Says MT. Dallas, the Present Coroner,
 Should be Reelected

Thanking my friends for their support, I beg to announce that I have withdrawn from the race for coroner of Jefferson county. I am convinced that it is the in- tention of the people to adhere to the time honored democratic precedent of rewarding a faithful official who has served short term by electing him to a fun term.
 That the present incumbent, Mir. Dallas, has earned this endorsement at the hands of the party during the year and a half that he has filled the office cannot be ques- toned.
 Under these circumstances and fully be- heving that MT. Dallas is entitled to re- election, l hereby withdraw from the race, and hope that my friends may see fit to support my present views as they did my candidacy. L. N. COLLINS.
