SALOONS KEPT OPEN

Police headquarters reported an un- usually quiet day for election yester |. day. there being only a few arrests.
 As some of the saloons did not close their doors. they were watched for violations of the law which provides that liquor shall not be sold on elect ion day.
 This law does not say that the doors of grog shops must be closed, and some of the local dealers split hairs to the point of keeping their estab- lishments open. claiming that so long as they did not sell liquors they vera we'll within the law.

ELECTION IS PERFUNCTORY No Opposition to Gunter
 and Ticket. TENURE OF OFFICE DISTANT Father of Municipal Code Bill Cut
 His Own Term.
 New Administration VIII Not Go Tn
 Until October, 1909, And Then
 Serve For Less Than
 Year.

Monday, the day named by the new Code for the general municipal cleo ton, was ideal as far as weather con- ditions go, dawning clear and cool However. very little interest was manifested by the voters, only about 500 ballots being cast according to a careful estimate. The Council last night failed to make the count.
 From the fact that this election is the first to be held under the new municipal code. there is some little the length of the terms of the incom- ing officers. This confusion arises from the fact that the city is now transferring from the old charter to the new, and the first administration under the new code must necessarily bear the brunt of adjusting conditions.
 A noteworthy feature of the change is that the incoming Mayor. Gaston Gunter. who is said to be the father of the new code bill so framed 1t that he is cut out of about thirteen months of office.
 Quoting from section two of the new code:
 NO municipal election for officers, except as herein otherwise provided, shall be held after the first day of January next until the third Monday in September, 1908. when a general municipal election shall be held. Off, ficers elected and qualified after the passage of this act and before the first day of January. 1908, and persons hold ing office on the first day of January, 1908, shall unless removed be con- tinued in office until the first Monday in October thereafter. Officers elect ed before the passage of this act whose terms shall not have expired on the first Monday in October. 1908. shall hold office until their terms expire under the provisions of the law under which they were elected, except as herein provided and the terms of of- flee of all persons elected on the third Monday in September. 1908, shall, In such cases. begin on the expiration of the terms of the persons then holding office and the persons so elected shall houd office until their successors are elected and qualified"
 Must Wait Long.
 From the above it will be seen that those officials chosen in the general election yesterday to fill the places of those now in office. Gall of whom were elected under the old charter), must wait until the present administration goes out to take their seats. This ap- plies to the mayor, the president of the council and all of the new alder men.
 However, the police commissioners will go into office on the second Mon day of next month, inasmuch as they are elected to offices created by the new code. The new administration will not go into office until the third Monday of October. 1909. inasmuch as that is the date under the old char ter. on which the terms of the present administration expires. The new code provides that the new administration shall serve only two years from the time of election which was yesterday. Therefore they will have only about eleven and half months to serve when they finally get into office in October, 1909

DESTINED TO DIG BY sulLnr.
Mothers Belief In Boys Fate Seemed
Justified BY Events.

People may jeer at fatalism and
poke fun at all ideas which are embod-
led in predestination," said Senator
Culberson of Texas at a small gather
ing of friends the other day in Wash
ington, but sometimes a man rubs ell,
bows with events which make him less
skeptical about such things. A fine
young boy near Dallas was shot VIII e
out hunting, and the bulle; lodged )"
near his Ieart that there was not one
chance I'm a thousand that he could
survive an operation. But he did sur
vive, and the operation was one of the
things of which the surgeons in the To-
cal hospital were very proud But
the boys recovery was tedious and as
soon as the fever left him he was
allowed TO see his friends and to play
cards and generally to amuse himself.
The bullet had been given to the boy
and occupied conspicuous place on
the table. Every caller saw and handled
the bullet and talked over his almost
miraculous escape from death. One
day the boys mother was with him
and several relatives when a boy
who hal formerly gone to school with
the patient paid him visit and OF
course he wanted 10 hear all about
the operation and TO see the bullet.
The boy told IL all with great vim
and then, taking mp the bullet, he said:
Here's the bullet that caused all the
trouble, and now | shall bite It to
pieces to pay II back and he laugh
ingly put II in his mouth. Just then
he was seized with a coughing flt, the
bullet slipped down his throat lodged
in his windpipe, and in few minutes
he had strangled to death. The poor
mother was nearly crazed with grief
but she afterward told the pastor of
her church that she felt her son was
destined to die of that bullet and that
she had little confidence of his re-
covery, even when the operation was
pronounced successful. She had dab
bled somewhat in the occult sciences
and she declared that the boy had been
predestined from all time to die from
that particular bullet and that nothing
could save him from that fate"
