LITTLE ROCK GETS CASH AND GOOD TEAM FROM
 ANNEXED CITY.

Among the assets of Pulaski Heights which will be turned over to the city of Little Rock on the completion of the consol- idation will be a good team of mules, wagon, harness, spades, shovels, and others street work ing implements, and cash amounting to about $500. This is sufficient to take care of an outstanding warrant due next October, which is the only obli- gation against the city of Pulas- Ri Heights. The city had no lia- bilities.

Object of Voting.

Thursday, January 20, has been fixed as the date for hold- ing the special election to select two aldermen to represent the new Ninth ward, a territory for- merly embraced in the city of Pulaski Heights, in the Little Rock City Council.
 For the convenience of voters there will be two voting places. Precinct No. 1, at Hughes drug store, Prospect avenue and Beech street, and Precinct No. 2, at Marlow's store, Prospect avenue and Cypress street.
 Any qualified elector who lives within the limits of the former city of Pulaski Heights may vote at this special election, re- gardless of politics, race or re- ligion.
 The two men chosen at this special election will serve until the spring election, when the vacancies again will be filled.
 It has been agreed by the can- didates and arranged with the Democratic City Central Com mittee that the successful cam didates at the special election will be accepted as party nonli- nees for the spring election, and no primary will be held in this ward.
 The candidate receiving the highest vote will be awarded the long term of two years, and the second highest man will get the short term of one year.
 The office of alderman pays a salary of $40 a month, and the member receives free street car transportation as one of the courtesies of the office.
 Alderman J. B. Webster of the First ward, who was can- didate, today withdrew his name, leaving in the race Mayor l.. H. Bradley, Alderman E. F. Reaves and City Attorney John P. Streepey.
 The polls will be open from & a. m. to 6::30 p. m., and all citi- zens are urged to cast their ball. lots and set a good voting prec-| edent for the new ward.

ceive the full benefit, and it was only after getting the mayor, city engineer, fire chief and sev- eral members of the Little Rock council, as well as representa- tives from our City Council, to go with me to Beech street and take measurements to the west ern limits of our city, that they finally agreed that Beech street was the logical location.
 1 have at all times been insist ent on all benefits reaching ev- cry portion of Pulaski Heights, and never gave up the fight un- til I won the victory. The ben efts promised will cover our whole Ninth ward, and I feel that it was due largely to my ef- forts that this was accomplish ed.
 I have used my best efforts and influence at all times to have improvements and repairs made where most needed, regardless of which ward it was in, and the Fourth ward, through my CO., operation, has received more benefit than any other ward, and the ward 1 represented has re- ceived the least, because the oth- CT portions of our city, I felt, were more in need of the work of our team and street force than the First.
 I have given close attention to the needs of our city as a whole, and have devoted all the time necessary to see that the work was properly carried on. I am confident that our citizens realize the fact that a great deal has been accomplished with the limited means at our dispos- al, and yet we have been able to make these improvements with out running the city in debt; and we will be able to turn into the treasury of the larger city some cash.
 With the full assurance that the voters of the Ninth ward will appreciate my efforts for the advancement and upbuilding of our community, as we'll as the absolute fairness I have shown at all times, 1 submit my claims to them, and assure them that 1 will appreciate to the full ex- tent their support and influence at the election to be held on the 20th inst.
 I enjoy the full confidence and esteem of Mayor Taylor and each member of the City Coun- cil, and am confident that any reasonable request made by me for the benefit of our ward and people will receive careful con- sideration. B. T. REAVES.

PULASKI HEIGHTS CITY COUNCILS P A SSIN C
 MADE PATHETIC.

After all of the business of the city had been transacted on Wednesday night, and the Pu- laski Heights City Council came to the point of adjourning for the last time, thus signaling the passing of the city of Pulaski Heights from the map of the world, Alderman w. A. Turner of the Third ward arose, shook hands with the mayor and each member of the council, spoke of the sadness of parting, and, re- tiring to the door, in his strong tenor voice sang the sweet old melody, Farewell, My Love" When he had finished and van ished, there was silence for a moment, when Alderman Reaves in a husky voice moved that the body adjourn sine die. Five husky voices voted aye, and the corporate life of the city of Pu- laski Heights passed out of ex- istence.

JUDGE ASHER DEFEATED BY FORMER SENATOR LEE MILES FOR COUNTY JUDGE BY CLOSE VOTE.
AKIN AND HEATH ELECTED
Dan Quinn Will be the Next
 County Clerk, and w. s. Boone Chancery Clerk; Dr. Vaughter Coroner, and Black
 wood, Leigh, Brooks and Ira
 wick Representatives. .-

Four new faces will be seen at the official desks in the court house as a result of the Demo- cratic nominating primary held throughout Pulaski county on Wednesday.
 Judge Asher was defeated for county judge by former Senator Lee Miles in one of the hardest fought and closest political bat ties ever waged in this county, official returns being required to decide the contest.
 Herbert s. Turner, a veteran in politics, was defeated by Yer nor Heath, a youngster with a smile and a gang of friends. Heath's majority was over- whelming.
 Another veteran, Henry o. Vogler, was not only defeated, but he was relegated to third place in the race for chancery clerk. w. s. Boone, the winner, was the youngest man. He made a clean-cut campaign and won on merit by a good lead.
 Dan Quinn, who has been giv- en some of the credit for groom ing Lee Miles, showed that he knows something about the game of politics when he defeat ed the two Moores who opposed him for county clerk.
 Uncle Bob Pillow was proba- bly, the most surprised man in town when the count came in. He never figured any other way than that he would be elected treasurer, but the "new man, ," Gene Akin, beat him by one of the largest majorities received by any candidate.
 w. G. Hutton had no opposi- tion for sheriff, and the oppo- sition to J. s. Maloney, develop ed after the entry for circuit clerk closed, did not prove a fac tor. Both these popular officers won in walk, as did also F. H. Conway, the county engineer.
 Dr. s. P. Vaughter, the man who had been coroner three times before, defeated Dr. Pro- thrO. who has lived in Pulaski Heights all his life, and Dr. Hurrle, who had been here but a short time. These seemed to be the only issues in this race.
 The citizens candidates for the legislature, Judge John w. Blackwood, L. B. Leigh and Burt Brooks, were elected, as also was J I. Trawick. Mitchell, the labor candidate, Gurley and Reynolds trailed the ticket.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
 NINTH WARD.

The first person to mention the subject of annexation of our city to Little Rock, to me, was Mayor Taylor, something over a year ago.
 He said that he wished our people would come into the larg- CT city and help to build up a Greater Little Rock. I told him that possibly we would consider the subject at some future time, if we were assured that we would receive just treatment.
 Some time thereafter, MT. Brickhouse approached me on the subject, and stated that he was confident that Little Rock would be willing to make us a very liberal proposition in the way of benefits that we could not reasonably expect to get un- assisted for several years to come.
 We.had number of conversa- tions at different times, but l gave him very little encourage ment until he stated that May or Taylor would be willing to ob- ligate the City Council to give us, at once, a good fire station at a convenient point, 25 addi- tional fire hydrants, 25 addition al street lamps, besides giving us the benefit of their several different departments.
 This seemed to me a most lib eral offer, and 1 told him if he would submit his proposition to me in writing, after getting au- thority from Mayor Taylor and endorsed by a majority of the aldermen, that I would take the matter up with my people and see how they felt about it.
 In a few days he handed me a letter in which all these benefits were promised, and stated that he was authorized by the mayor and a majority of the aldermen to submit it to me.
 I showed the letter to some of our large property owners and prominent citizens, who ex- pressed themselves as being heartily in favor of accepting the terms. Soon after this, about 25 or 30 citizens had a meeting to discuss the matter. and it met with such universal approval that a committee was appointed to arrange a meeting of all the citizens of Pulaski Heights for careful considera- tion.
 The committee arranged for the meeting, which has held in the Fourth ward, and there was a large attendance. The indica- tions were quite evident that a large majority of those present favored annexation.
 Another meeting was held later on at the theater in Forest Park, and a number of citizens explained the proposition so thoroughly that it was evident that quite large majority fa- vored annaxatiOn.
 The result of the recent cleo tion showed the movement to be very popular in both cities, and we are now the Ninth ward of the city of Little Rock.
 When it was evident that we would be annexed, quite a num- Der of our good citizens asked me to make the race to repre- sent our ward as one of the two aldermen, stating that they felt that I was in close touch with the conditions of our ward and could accomplish more for our people, perhaps, than anyone else. I agreed to make the race, and will very much appreciate your support.
 When the location of the fire station came up at our confer ence, met with much opposi- tion to placing it at point where all our territory would re-

COLISEUM, CHICAGO. June 8
The Roosevelt managers sprung
their final trump card today.
Through the peace committee which
conferred with a similar committee
OF the progressive party last night
the Roosevelt men brought squarely
to the attention of the republican
convention the desirability of the
nomination of Col Roosevelt in the
following words:
J The progressive cOnferees were
unanimous in urging with temper
ateness and fairness the opinion that
Theodore Roosevelt of New York,
had 50 large a personal following
and such a close personal relation
TO the issues of the coming campaign
as TO make him a most desirable
candidate upon which TO unite
The committee made no recon-
mendation whatever. 1t put the
whole thing squarely up to the con-
vention. Its complete report. which
was presented by Sen. SmOot chair
man of the committee, was simply
a statement of facts. But it en-
phasized the fact that the republi-
can and progressive parties must
unite on candidates if they were to
have a chance 10 win. And it was
on this and the knowledge that the
progressives were sOlidly lined up
for Col. Roosevelt that the latter's
active managers relied to get the
nomination across.
The complete report of the COM
mittee was as follows:
TO the republican national con-
vention:
Your committee appointed pur-
suant TO the resolution adopted at
yesterdays session met in confer
ence with a committee representing
the national progressive convention
