ELECTION ON
 NEXT TUESDAY
 FOR ALDERMEN

There $ to be all election i'll Springdale Tuesday Of next week.
 This will be q surprise to many Of those directly interested, but it is q fact nevertheless. Mayor Lane has issued proclamation calling for an election in Wards l. and 1 to elect three aidermeH.. One to Til the vacancy in Ward i. caused by the resignation of Dr [. E. Young; an otaer to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of 4. L. France. in Ward l, and still another to fiji the vacancy caused by the resignation of .u MeDavid ip Ward 3. The el= eetion is to be held Tteeday of next week, December S.
 Practically no interest has been aroused over the coming election, the voters possibly being satisfied to let matters rest in the election line until spring, butthis is a case Of where 1t cant be done There must De three aldermen elected in Spring d9le next Tuesday. so that the basiz hess of the city can be carried on in t legal mnnear. There is no quorum at the meetings Of the Council now, caused by the resisna= tion of the different members, and when there is no quorum. there can be no meeting of the Council to transact legal business, to pass or dinanees, or repeal old ones. The wheels of the city law making body are locked, the Mayor is powerless to act. except in very limited ca paefty, and there are many things hanging ill the balance Ill reference to better Springda1e,. that none but the City Council can arrange.
 This f5 q plea to the voters 10 get out and do something. An election was held here some sixty days ago. Illegally, and eleven votes were east. all i'll Ward 1, none in Ward I, al though the election was called in thtt ward The date ef this election came just at time when every body was busy iu the apples, and when the folks around Spriaedale get into the apple business no elecs 'iol on earth will budse them loose This time the apple season is oyer absolutely nothing stands in fhe way of good turn out en election d4s
 .Afittle interest has been started over ia Ward l, where A. J. TWpen and C IL Hunt will be candidates Mr. TaFpen was nominated by the Democrats at convention held prior t0 the last election, and he did not receive vote, nobody Eot- ing. His constituents hold that he is still oa the ticket. until an eIee. ton is held, and he will fHa again this time Mr Turpen is op. posed by C. H. Hunt, section fore man of the Frisco \ little interest is being shown. over the fact that Mr. Turpen favors an ordinance against street peddlers, and Mr Hunt is against it Just what the voters of Ward l will say remains to be seen, but this seems 10 be the issue of the campaign.
 Wards and 1 are quiet as a grave. and the voters intend to elect their aldermen without any noise.
 Remember Tuesday is the day, the regular voting places will be used and the clerks and judges of the gen eral eie ton are expected to serve, but the all important feature is to elect Gouncimen to fill the vaean- cies so that the city Of Springdale, will have complete City Council.

MRS. BARNHISEL.
"Mrs. Barnhisel, what is your

"Mrs. Barnhisei, what is your
present state of feeling towards
Mr.. Barnhisel?"
"AlthOugh, Mr.. Langhorne,
everything has been done during
the last year to destroy every af'
lection ! might have for Mr.. Barn.
hisel, 1 still love the mani"
1t was the climax of a trial re-
plete with dramatic Incidents
Mrs. Olive Barnhisel had been on
the witness stand all of yesterday
and half of this mornings ses-
sion, when, in moment of seen.-
ing calm, she was called upon to
tell whether or not she still loved
Rev. Arthur II. Barnhisel.
Mrs. Barnhisel sank YEARLY
back in the witness chair, but ap.
parently lost none of her poise.
When she answered the question.
announcing positively that she
loved her husband as much now
as she ever had, her voice was low
and cool. Half of the spectators
in the crowded court room could
not hear the answer.
AS soon as Mrs. Barnhisel had
declared her love for the former
pastor, Attorney Langhorne clos
ed the defense, and cross-exam.
ination Of the witness was taken
up by Attorney Fred Murray.
Mrs. Barnhisel's answer to
charges of extravaganza was that
she had sold her large ranch in
California, and had deposited
with her husband a sum of money
which was planned to be used by
herself for whatever she wished.
CrOss-examination dwelt largely
on the expenditures which Mrs.
Barnhisel had made from this
fund. but the witness was unable
to enumerate or designate which
"Iuxuries" she had purchased
with her own money.
Mrs. Barnhisel admitted that
she had made three trips to Port.
land to purchase gowns from tho
Shokren sisters shop, said to be
the most fashionable modiste shop
in the Northwest. She denied tina.
her expenditures on the three
trips were $500, saying that she
believed they were more nearly
half of $500" She purchased
four gowns, a suit and coat, she
said, but said that she could not
enumerate the price paid for each.
Attorney Murray tried to force
Mrs. Barnhisel to admit that he,
relations with Rev. Barnhisel had
been unharmonioUs. In answer
to more than ten questions along
this line of attack, she replied:
AZ can only say that our married
life was very, very happy"
Barnhisel's attorney read ey.
cerpts from two letters written BY
Mrs. BarnMsel from California tt
her husband, and asked for an
explanation. The excerpts were

with me with as little aid, con-
fort and cheer as YOU have been
able.to give"--and you will hear
no more tales of woe, which
means that l will bear my own

Mrs. Barnhisel declared that

minister, and that the tales OF

stead of him giving it to me, II

We both anticipated the time
when We would get more wealth

AT the opening OF today's case
Attorney Murray objected strenu-
Ously to Mrs. Barnhisel's testI-
mony concerning a "New
Thought" cult to which her nus.
band had affiliated himself. At
tOrney Langhorne declared that
the evidence was brought In to
show that Barnhisel had induced
his wife to take mp the "thoueht
wave" philosophy I'm order to SUBJ
jeet her and force her to deed
over her property to him. Judge
Mitchell sustained the objections,
and all further reference to the
