hansen GETS 1T.
He Has a Walk-Away in the
Eighth Ward Caucuses.

There is very little doubt that Dr.. F.
E. Hansen will. after Sept. 10, occupy
the seat in the council chamber re-
Gently made vacant by the death of Aid.
d. G. Thompson. The caucuses in the
various precincts of the ward last
night showed that DR.. Hansen had by
far the greater number of supporters,
and twO-thirds of the delegates elected
to the convention which will meet at
Relief hall on Monday morning, will
go there with Hansen's name pasted in
their hats. Perkins, Balsh and other
men who have been talked of were
not heard from last night, and
V. NJ. Gore, the young lawyer who
withdrew Yesterday morning and was
again announced as in the race during
the day, had gOOdly constituency in
the Seventh and Eighth precincts,
but had no representation in other pre-
cincts.
The Democrats in the ward have de-
cided to hold mass meeting on
Wednesday evening to put candi-
date in the field. Some of them
have an idea that people in the ward
have become so weary of their present
representation in the council that they
may be glad to turn to an honest Demo
crat as an agreeable change. Judge
PEBBLES and A. w. Paris are mentioned
in connection with the Democratic NOM
nation.

second choice. All the delegates from
the First, Second. Third. Fifth and
Sixth precincts, twenty-One in number.
and comprising very large majority of
the convention, are for Hanson
first. last and all the time, but
a few of them would go over
to Balsh, if by any possibility it should
become necessary to change off. Ham
sen, however, has decided walkover
in the convention and his delegates had
the same in most of the precinct eau
cuses last night. In all the precinct
caucuSes, where Hansen del e.
gates were elected, the opposition
to the doctor was very weak
and other delegates made very small
showing. In the Fourth precinct only
about dozen voters attended the eau
Gus, and barrow was elected almost
unanimously.
The only place where non-Hansen
delegates had any chance was in the
Seventh and Eighth precincts, where
Gore men were elected without eXcep-
ton. The Eighth precinct delegates
would take, Bash as second choice.
This gives Gore ten delegates out of
thirty-One.

THE LYCEUM EXCITED.

The Indiana Lyceum is reported to
be very much exercised over the violent
attack on their adopted son in the Even
ing Tribune and are determined TO dis
cover who the miScreant is. The board
of directors held a meeting yesterday
and appointed q committee of inyesti-
CATION and authorized the expenditure
of s. to hire a Chicago detective to trace
up the author. Col. Charles w. john
son was yesterday officially relieved
from responsibility i'll the Evening
Tribune. which may mean that he did
not inspire the article, or that the
editor and not Col. Johnson is ''respon-
BibIe.' Curiosity among the members
of the Lyceum has not died out. how
ever, on account of the appointment
OF the committee. They keep on
guessing. One member said yes
terday that he knew. who it was.
1T was that Frank Mead. But Frank
Mead is editing paper in Duluth, and
1t is reasonably responsible that he
would have printed it in his own paper
If he had desired to print it at all. An
other member says it is Col. McCrOry,
and third lays it to Edgar A. Poe

bic that when they are Freeman z.

present. The guessing games were
participated in by hundreds of the
children, and the results Of their guess
ing was quite interesting.
A number of marbles were placed in
a vessel, and the children guessed the
number. There were $50 marbles. The
guesses ran all the way from $50 to
at,600.
Miss Jessie Linden, of 2545 Ninth
avenue, south, came the nearest, guess
ing 9S5. She will receive the first price
an ivory bracelet, given by William
Dervease.
Margerett Sterett, Sl9 Fourth avenue
south, guessed 985 and gets the second
prize, corved cup and saucer, given by
John MelInk.
Harold Gunner, PA State street south
east, guessed $50 and wins supply OF
pop corn and candy, given by Pop
Baker.
The prizes will be given out next Sat
urday. when another guess will be made
by the children.

BEARS OUT ATHEORY
That First Street Madames Pay

Another ''pOlice sensation" as the
Scandals which are constantly crop

likely to come to the surface if the po-
lice commission does not succeed in
smothering it. Mollie Jackson, First

The woman was locked up again. and
afterwards made affidavit to having
paid the patrolman SO a week, and
claimed that he made a demand on her

Taigned yesterday morning for using
obscene language to the officers she was
found to be stupefied from the effects of
opium. and was sent back to the lookup.
Another phase of the same case was
the advent of Hugh Clarity, the woman's
'friend." He, too, jumped athwart
Aldrich's frame, and denounced him
savagely. 1t seems that Clarity thinks

he said:

IN THE EVENING.
A Large Audience Listens to In
spring Music.

At the evening entertainment there
were more visitors present than at any
one time since the opening of the Expo
sition. There were large number of
veterans present, but they were by no
means in the majority. The music
was the feature of the evening,
and was one of the best
programmes that has been executed
since Mr.. Innes brought his band to
Minneapolis. The War Memories"
was a taking piece. drum corps and
buglerS were stationed in different por-
tons of the great building within sight
of Mr.. Innes, and so the music came re-
sounding from above and below, and
the extreme portions of the audi
forum. FamiI!;rErr patriotic times in
terspersed with the calls and
retreats, all under the direction of the
band master, made novel and inspir-
ing rendition, and was much enjoyed
by the large audience.
There were 14,427 visitors present
during the day. This is the largest
attendance of any day during the Ex-
position,
