Exposition Echoes.

The alligators in Palmer lake are be-
,ginning to be rather lively. Yesterday
morning when the water was lowered
so the great tank could be cleaned of the
debris, the alligators seemed to resent
the intrusion, and attempted to follow
the men who were wading about
in the water. They were poked
about with sticks and became quite
savage. The largest one seemed to hold
smaller 'gater responsible for the dis
turbance and attacked him. The at
PENDANTS pulled them apart just as the
jaws of the big fellow took half-Nel-
son hold of the smaller.
The silver bricks in the Manitoba ex-
hibit are worth about $1,000 and weigh
100 pounds. Saturday slender little
lady who looked as though she could
not carry ten-pOund baby across the
room, asked several questions about
them. One of the attendants said to
her, ''YOu can have that brick if you'll
carry it to the door," He was astonished
and dismayed 10 see her pick it up and
carry it Off triumphantly. He did not
know what to do, but presently she re-
turned with it. She had taken it to the
door, but being somewhat alarmed lest
she should get into trouble decided to
carry it back.
Burt, the crayOn artist, has given three

Beginning Sept. 10 the Manitoba road
will run trains from st. Paul direct to

Encouraged by the success of Mr..
Vetter's seal sacque prize, a large num-
Der of the exhibitors are talking OF 60

The manager, q. w. Palmer, has sent
out the following letter to Minneapolis
business men: "wednesday, Sept. S,
has been designated as Minneapolis
day at the Exposition. 1t only needs
an earnest and prompt effort on the part
of the active and prominent business
men of this city to make the day profit
able and at the same time encourage
an enterprise which every Minneapoli-
tan comedies is of incalculable ben
fit to the city. Will you take such
measures as you deem best to insure a
large attendance on this day? 1t is sug-
gested where practicable that all EN-
ployers give at least half holiday to
their employees, and that those who can
afford to do so purchase tickets for
gratuitOuS distribution"

Hennepin's Delegation Bound,
Gagged and Labeled Solid
for HiM.
The Court House Machine
Smashed to Smithereens
in the Fight.
Loren Fletcher Controlled the
Convention, and Dictated
Its Every Act.
The County Ticket Fought
Nobly, but We're Left on
the Field.

The McGill machine put its foot upon
the neck of the PROSTATE Republican
party of Hennepin county yesterday
after ruthlessly walking over its form.
Two machines came together-the one
run by Loren Fletcher in the interests
of McGill, and the other managed by
the court house ring in the interest OF
the county ticket and the court house
machine was smashed to pieces. 10
understand the situation, it is neces-
sary to know that every candidate on
the county ticket is praying for the de-
feat of McGiIl tomorrow to tighten the
load they must carry in this county.
Openly and secretly they have worked
against McGill, even going so far
as to secretly put in a good
lick for Scheffer. But it was
allu useless. The McGlli crowd,
with Loren Fletcher as commander,
Willyum Hennery Eustis, Ed johnson,
Steve Lovejoy and Fred Hooker as lieu
tenants, backed by the force of state
weighers and inspectors, swept over the
convention, and Merriam, Scheffer and
a half dozen dimly-defined dark horses
were swept out of consideration. Hen
nepin will send to st. Paul thirty-eight
McGill delegates. bound, gagged and
delivered like a bale of merchandise
with Loren Fletcher holding the keys
When the convention assembled it
looked as though the forces were more
nearly equal. At once it was resolved
into a fight for and against McGill, all
other candidates and considerations be-
ing forgotten. Admission to the hall
was by ticket, and the result was that
the galleries were filled by Nc
Gill claqueurs, who took their
cue from Loren Fletcher. The court
house ring struggled nobly. Freeman
Lane was earnest, Coroner Smith was
eloquent and Frank B. Hart was i'm
pressive, but everything was wasted on
the phalanx of McGillites, who had
everything their own way. Fletcher
sat in the center aisle, Eustis at the
front and faithful lieutenants on the
flank, and nothing escaped them. AS
once before, when Fletcher dominated a
convention, Col. Fred Hooker was made
chairman and ran the machine. When
it was over there were mutterings loud
and deep and a canvass of the county
candidates. The delegation also eau
cuSed at the Union league rooms.

Twin City "DaYs.n

At the suggestion of Mayor Smith ST..
Paul day has been changed from Thurs
day to Friday. This is because the Re
publican state convention may hold over
to Thursday and deter many from
coming, and it is the desire
of the mayor and the board of trade
that there shall be general suspension
of business on that day and large at
tendance of st. Paulites, including as
many leading citizens as can epresent.
AS the Northwestern Editorial assOcia-
ton is entertained on Thursday the Ex-
position management is pleased with
the change. James Wick, the great
florist of Rochester, N. Y, is also to
make his display on this day.
MINNEAPOLIS DAY
occurs tomorrow. Written requests
have been sent to leading business firms
requesting them to close their places of
business in the afternoon. A committee
will also make the same request person
ally to-day. It's desired that newspaper
day should have the largest attendance
of any during the Exposition. An in
tereSting programme of exercises has
been arranged. There will be some
superb musical features, and number
of handsome prizes awarded. In the
evening a picked squad from the police
force will give drill.

goods. Police Surgeon Kelly rel nrteq
that he had made $50 calls, 80 of which
were made at homes of the officers, SO
Office calls, and IL at central station and
elsewhere.
The dismissal of Mrs. s. G. Rice,
matron at the First precinct station, by
the police commission yesterday, did
not cause much surprise, except to th .
lady herself. For some time past she
and the jailors at the station have not
got along well together, the
police alleging that she inter
fered with their duties, went out
side of her jurisdiction, and misrepre-
sented cases to the court. On the other
hand, Mrs. Rice charges that the jailors
and some of the paJrolmen used abus-
i've and vulgar language to her without
cause, and even went so far as to charge
that she had taken money from some OF
the female prisoners. This Mrs. Rice
emphatically denies. The whole trouble
appears to have lain in the fact that
Mrs. Rice was too Jealous and tried to
do too much.

an instant. The roll was then called.

man n. Smith as tellers. AS the call
proceeded, the machine took its grip

suit was the defeat of the amendment

motion then went through, and the Nc
Gill victory was complete. For the sake
of form, Chairman Hooker retired be-
hind the curtain, with Willyum Hennery
Eustis as advising counsel, to propose

MUST MAKE A SHOWING.
The County Officers Must Come
Down to 1t.

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday in regular session. The
report of the OverSeer of the poor house
for the month of August was submitted,
which showed the number of inmates to
be sixty-two, the expenses for the
month S452.45 and the receipts from the
poor farm S555.52. The bid of Johu

POLITICAL QUIPS.

A man stood near the water tank at
Harmonic hall and earnestly talked to a
brother near him. Said he: "There is
no doubt that Ames will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for mayor and we must
put up our best man to beat him. tell
you, Blethen is the man. Do you know,
Blethen is pure as a virgin" Tears
rolled down from the water cooler as he
spoke.

Col. Robert Stratton can experience
wonderfully sudden changes of heart.
just one week ago, in burst OF high
moral frenzy, he raised his Sunday
school voice against any plan by which
chairman could name delegation to
o convention. Yesterday he Topped
over and his soft and peering accents
were lent to showing the convention
why the chair should make the appoint
ments. His reward was swift. He was
at once made delegates to st. Paul.

the Second ward seems to be slowly
drifting away from him. Only E. NJ.
johnson remains faithful. d. NJ.

yesterday, and applauded heartily at
the hits made in opposition to Judge
Springer's motion. Z. +. COmstock mas

Time works wondrous changes. Last
Nav. when a convention assembled to
select delegates to Chicago, Loren
Fletcher and Willyum Hennery Eustis
glared unutteTable things at each other
and swOre eternal vengeance. 1ester-
day they twined their arms lovingly
about each others neck and drank from
the same canteen. Fletcher was David
and Eustis was Jonathan. and their fra
ternal love gurgled and guggled all
through the convention.

P. NJ. Dahl was elected a delegate on
the Scheffer ticket. Just before the
caucuses Dahl made this remark:
t'Any man on the county ticket is
id fool who opposes Schetfer. Ii ne
is nominated we'll carry this county by
B.OO0.r But a gentle tip came to him
from the McGiIl machine that if he was
for Scheffer his throat would be cut on
Nov. 6, so Dahl waited a proxy to Ace
Abel. Ace has nerve, so he went to
the convention, voted against McGill
and got Loren Fletcher's fist flOurished
in his face.
