L. Allard. She did this, and the next thing in order would be to bring suit for one-half the propetty. Before this suit was fustituted, Allard proposed a compro- thise, He agteed to deed to Mrs. Spau and her children, one-half his property on this side of the river. In addition, he ag; pay Mrs. Spaulding about . or give her the diamond pin he once had her are rested for stealing, and to in open court state that he gave it to her and that she not steal it. Further, be was to give Mrs, Spaulding’s two Liklren $1,000 jointly, for services they have rendered him in the past, ad other considerations, In return, litigation between Mrs, Spaulding and C. U, Allard will cease. She is to ttop the prosecution in the will case, and also in the $20,000 damage suit Brought by her against for his swearing outa warran her for stealing it. The attorneys are still working on the compromise. It will in no way affect the Illinois land owned by Al- lard, the ownership cf which may be settled later. The Allard estate has been greatly overestimated. ‘Those in a position to know say that his property on this side of the river is worth, all told, about $60,000, white his 1500 acres or more of land on the Illinois side is worth bat $12,000. Allard once agreed to take $10,000 for it, but the man who desired to purchase it had in the meantime bought other land. The compromise, it is said, will be cousummated by the first part of next week, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS compromise That It Takes to Register’s In- Is the Balm Soothe the jured Feelings.

The charter says, under the cap- tion -*Executive Department: Sec. 30. The chief executive a thority sball be vested ina chief mag- istiate, who shal! be styled the mayor. The mayor sball be elected by the qualified voters of the city for a term of four years, and shall enter upon the discharge of the duties of his of- office on the first Monday in Decem- ber next after lis election, and shall hold until his successor is elected and qualified. He shall not be eligible for the succeeding term. The law is p shall hold office ‘‘until his successor is elected ard qualified.” He can not be mayor while some ove else is mayor, and someone else cannet be mayor while he is mayor, In other words, a city cannot Lave two mayors at the same time: yet that’s what Pa- ducah bas now.
