ISSUE FAILS The boiijl, issue of fifteen thousand dollars for the graded school wan deleated Tuesday by an overwhelming vote, only thirty one ballots favoring the proposition going into the box es. The vote cast against the bond issue was 'Jo'2 and this would have bwn larger still had many nt felt that failure to vote amounted to a vote against the boud issue, it being the general rule to spe city in such elections that t uiajority-.-u., ,UijgaLv..-Yoters must favor the measure.

It is now practically understood that four of the aldermen are for J. Hv IieKoy and four for J. C. Com mander. The fact that the supporters of each applicant are equal in strength prevented Monday night the selection of a mayor and there are few who will undertake to predict how the deadlock is to be brofc-en. tOCBRDOKI 4 J.
