 It was decided to assess the fees to the office and not by candidate, as has been done before.
 These registrars were appointed: First ward, J. T. May: Second ward Joe spanier; Third ward. J. A. Oden; Fourth ward, R. L. Stokes; Fifth ward, Charlie Weaver; Sixth ward. R. l.. Boatwright; Seventh ward, J. W. Tuck; Eighth ward. Allen Davis; Ninth ward, R. L. Kirk, and Tenth ward F. l.. Mckinney.
 These registrars will sit at the various polling places from July to July Il. Every voter no matter what his age or what kind of certificate he has, includ- ing the militia, and everybody who wants to vote will have to register not only with the county registrars who sit the same week, but with the city registrars No man whose name is not on the lists will be allowed to cast his vote
 The. expenses of the election were esti- mated at $500. The collections from fees will amount to $155o and if anything is left it will be prorated back to the can dldates. The clerks and managers of the election are yet to be selected.
 There have been no new developments in the way of candidates. Capt Frank r. OBrien, candidate for mayor has re- turned and is again actively at worn among the voters
 Among the aldermen the only unopposed candidate is Alderman NJ J. Gregg of the Seventh ward. MT. Gregg was elected to fill President Parkers place only d few months ago and he is really running for his first term. Mayor Ward said yes terday: T am glad to see that Alder man Gregg has opposition for re- election.
 He has made fine record as alder man for conservatism as well as ability. His counsel and advice have always beeu along the line that works for the best in- terest of this city. Those who have been cn ot ,osite sides from him cannot but acknowledge his fairness at all times"
