ELECTION CREATED
LITTLE INTEREST.
Only Fifty Three Votes Were Polled
Yesterday.
FOR TREASURER AND COUNCIL
New Council Will Be Installed Next
Monday Might Already the Distri
button of the Plums is Commanding
Attention.

A cold rainy day in a prohibition
town without iug-train connections
would be as replete with interest as
was yesterdays election for city treas
urer and three aldermen. In fact,
hardly half hundred people found
out about the little affair.
AS evidenced by the fact that but SO
votes were cast therein.
As the tissues" (between the ten
candidates) had been settled at the re-
cent primary election wherein 403 votes
we're cast, the registered voters didn't
bother about Yesterdays election.
But it ha6 to be held, formally, and
the dozen clerks, managers and JUS
tices shivered there from 8 a. m. until
p. m. that these fifty three qualified
ones might vote. OF course all the
nominees were chosen by solid ballot
ing there being few if any scratches. 4
Iii. q. Mitchell as clerk and treasurer
and Messrs. j. b. Hudson. j. s. Bolton
and Z. j. Sherlock as members of coun-
ell, were duly elected.
The new council will be organized
next Monday night, 23d.
And while the annual election of city
employees and heads of departments
does not occur until the first Monday
in January, there is already a consider
able amount of uncertainty as to re-
suits and the usual amount of log roll
ing incident to such an election.
Just what council will do IN the way
OF selecting employees of the city and
fixing salaries is a matter that interests
many just now.
