SCHOOL ELECTION

The school election pulled off in Williams Saturday was a closely contested affair, the votes standing at the close of the polls. 1O1 to 90 in favor of Dr. P A. Melick for trustee. over J. B. Jones.
 Dr. Melick personally made no effort to he elected, and declared that he did not care to be elected. but his friends made a strenuous effort and carried the day for him. The contest was a clean, mannerly affair and went off emoothly.
 Both the contestants were good men for the place. and the matter of who was elected made little diff ference so far as school affairs are ,ncerned. Knowing this the contest developed into contest of personal favoritism.
 It is to be hoped that if any personal ill-feeling has been arous- e1. that it will be forgotten at once. The election could not have result ed badly. and the best thing to do is to forget it.

 Mir Stricklin is too we'll known ny the public of Williams to, need any introduction from this source, in fact anything along the line of introductory remarks would be simply statements of facts already known to the votera.
 Mir. Stricklin has lived in Will Hams for a long time, and during hat time his actions have proven that he is thoroughly responsible and in every way qualified for the position to which he aapires. Prior 10 coming to Willia ms he had con siderable experience at throwing the strong arm of the law against offenders and is therefore not green hand at subduing malefac- tors. such as the town marsha usually has to deal with.

 Every good principle I have learned. everything of good morals and good manners I received from a woman And I have obser we'd in history that just ss high as is the position given to women in 8 nation. just 60 surely will that nation rise to distinction and fame give my adherence to this cause with enthusiasm and religious zeal. I know when l serve the women l serve God. When there are six million women earning their liv ing outside of domestic service, with what face, gentlemen of the committee, do you refuse this prayer of the women?
 "Some tell us that bad women would vote. Ianswer this by point ing out to you that there are ar many more good women than bad in the world.
 II love the women's cause for he enemies it has made"

Conviction Strengthened That Artists Wife Strangled Him or Had Criminal Ac-
 oomplice.
WIDOW D0UBLY ENGAGED
Had Given Marriage Promise to Two Rich LOvers--prcsidcnt Faure's Death Is Still Mys-
 tery.

Paris, Nov 29.-All the new light thrown on the murder of Adolphe stelnhei and Mme, Japy, which oc- cured on the night of May 3l at the home of the artist only goes to strengthen the conviction that Mme Steinheil either strangled them alone after administering a narcotic or poison, subsequently binding herself to her bed, or had an accomplice in the person of professional criminal, The body of the murdered painted was dis inferred to-day and removed to the morgue, but the surgeons found that 1t was in such a state of decomposition az to make it impossible to perform a complete autopsy, They contented themselves with taking away the vls- cera for chemical analysis. to discover, if possible, traces of poison. The glasses found at the time of tre murder will also be examined It Is now learned that Mime. steinhei was receiving tho vlsiss of another rich lover besides Maurice Borderel and that shc prom lsed each of them that she would marry him in event of her becoming q widow or divorced Testimony from every quarter seems to upset completely the charges of the royallsi press that the late President Felix Faure was the victim of criminal dealing, but even M, Dupuy, hIs premier, does not deny that Mime. Stelnhel was with him shortly before he expired
 She adopted q clever rusc to divert suspicion nt tho time Before going to Elysee Palace, she visited a distin- gulshed painter, to whom she contidcd that she was on her way to see tho president The following day tho painter received q letter from her filled with expressions of grief at the death of President Taurc but addine that unfortunately she was taken m and was unable to 500 him. The physician who she said attended her at the time declares that he never saw her until long afterwards.
