rather Mixed Up Urinary
Election.
Special to the Globe.
MANKATo, Mimi, March 27.-The
Republican ward primaries were held
here tonight with decidedly mixed re-
suits. In the First ward the proceed
ings were altogether irregular, under
the new election law, as reported. B.
Bangerter, Jr., received the nomination
for member of school board against l..
e. M. Fletcher. HI. Hillesheimd Dem
ocraO was named for alderman by ac-
clamation. Owing to Irregularities the
only delegate elected to the city conven-
ton was Thomas jenkins. In the Sec
ond ward the vote for school officer was
a tie, p. A. Foster and j. Flasch-
enhar leach Democrats) receiving the
elected were: George Philips, +. Wi
dell, c. KeysOr and j. Reinke. The re-
suit in the Third ward was: For school
director, w. w. P. Mcconnell; alder
man, George Pond; delegates, S. W.
Burgess, j. q. Roller, Charles Crouch.
+. G. Heinze, George Pond, III. P. Jen-
sen, G. l.. King and M. Hanna. In the
Fourth ward: For school board, Charles
Piper: for alderman, Swan johnson;
delegates, W. B. Walker, Ii. McCOllum;
Paul Olson, Scott Dodge, FL. Daniels,
John Anderson, M. B. Wood, A. Noble,
U. S. Karmany, E. Wickersham, l.. A.
Moore, E. Lilly, M. Roblee. OF the del
egates elected seventeen are for L. A.
Shirk for city treasurer, which virtu-
ally gives him the nomination regard
less of whatever action may be taken
by the convention as to the First ward
delegates.

Macdonald, president; H. Warwick,

TO LEAVE SUNDAY NIGHT.
The Schedule of the st. Paul Team for
It's Trip.
IT STRIKES CINCINNATI FIRST
The Rest of the Circuit---Six Games
to Be Played With the
0mahaS.

The st. Paul team, that is, Mananer
Barnes, Pitcher Vogel and one or two
others, will leave St. Paul Sunday night
for Cincinnati. They will be joined at
Milwaukee by Morrissey; at Chicago by
Kemmler, Pickett, Anderson and Dur
yea; and at indianapolis by Sowders
and Murphy. The other members of
the team will go directly to the Pork
city. Wednesday, April 4, the team
will take its initial licking from the
Cincinnati Reds, and two more thrash
ings will be administered Thursday and
Friday. The boys cannot.0f course, cope
successfully with the team which is
looked upon as the best in the American
association, but it is hoped they will be
able to keep the famous red legs from
making the circuit of the bases more
than twenty times in each game. On
Sunday, the sth, Manager Barnes will
put one of his pitchers before Pete
Browning, Joe Werrick, ct al, on the
Louisville grounds. The carnage is eX-
pected to be great, but unine men in st.
Paul uniforms are expected to show up
on the Indianapolis grounds the follow
ing day. st. Paul is also scheduled for
the capital of HooSierdom On Tuesday,
the 10th. The first victory for the Min

ington on Wednesday, the 18th. They
will give the Davenports couple of
wallopings the 18th and 18th and bear
down on Omaha the 18th with colors fly

be too much for them in two of the three
games. From Omaha they come home,
the former making the trip with them.
