THE CITY ELECTION.
The Democrats Win a Majority of the
Offices by Energetic Hustling—

Never before in the history of
Norman did the Democrats get
such a move on themselyes as on
Monday, May 1, 1899, the day of
the regular annual city election.
Their work, too, was, cut out
for them, for the Citizens ticket
was composed of the very best
material, and they saw that only
the greatest efforts on their part
would bring victory to them, ey-
en with their big majority in the
town. The result was that the
largest yote ever polled in the
city was brought out, something
like fifty votes more than ever
before, and even then the Demo-
crats won by a very close margin
on the officers elected, losing city
treasurer and three councilmen,
with a tie vote 011 police judge.
The officers elected are:
City Marshal, A. J. Mitchell,
(Dem.)
City Clerk, J. W. Barbour,
(Dem.)
City Treasurer, Harry Lindsev,
(Rep.)
Police Judge, tie vote between
S. J. Wilkins and Ziba Beldon.
Constable, Billy Bailey, (Dem.)
Councilman: First ward, J. T.
Phelps (Dem); second ward, D. C.
Fox (Cit. J; third ward, W, T.
Wallace (Dem.); fourth ward, C.
G. Bible (Cit.); fifth ward, J. D.
Grigsby (Dem.); sixth ward,
J. T. Scott (Cit).
The following is the vote cast
in the several wards for each
candidate, with majorities:

Don't Think Much of Boonville.
Bob Anoil got back last Saturday
from his visit to Boonville, Ark.; and
glad enough to get home. He is not
"stuck" on that country, and did not
invest. He says the town company
that was booming Boonville and the
other prospective towns were the sick-
est ducks he lias seen for a long time
their big boomed sale of lots proving a
sad disappointment. Boonville is in a
valley about two miles wide, and with
no agricultural land around it. Some
mines of zinc and coal have been open-
ed out, but wherever a good mine is op-
ened there will be a good town, thus
taking away the idea of concentrating
everything at Boonville. The chief
thing that struck Bob on the entire
trip was the number of graveyards In
that country. He counted twenty big
cemeteries between Mansfield, Ark ,
and Boonville, a distance of twenty-
two miles. In all he saw no town that
could eomparewith Norman for busi-
ness or beauty.

lecture "The Harp of the Senses" is
beautifully illustrated with stereoptican
views and shows the Influence of habit ^°v
and the growth of character.

ing Pres. Boyd was a classmate of Prof.
