attorney stated to the court that she
had paid her license or fine, and was en-
titled to protection from the city. Judge
MahOney fined her $50, but remarked as
he did so: .
''rhese people have been given to
understand that so long as they con-
duet orderly places they will receive
proper protection, and they know that
noises of all kinds will not be toler-
ated. There is no question but what
there was a aigraceful scene and ter
rible noises at her house Saturday
night, and PatrOlman Novack showed
good judgment in not lecturing the girl
who was causing it. as requested by the
madame. This defendant did not do
what she should have done toward sup
pressing the noise, and the people who
say there was no disturbance there SIM
ply don't tell the truth"
The city, therefore, practically admits
that 1t will furnish protection to the
lewd houses If they pay for it.

Minutes Of the District Court
--Oil-Burnt Brick--Items
of a Minor Nature.

The Democratic judicial convention
of the Fourth district occurred yester-
day at the rooms of Hennepin Demo
cratic League, New York Life building.
The nominations were made after q hot
fight, in which Judge Mahoney was
downed. The nominees are Judge +.
c. Brooks, Ben j. Davenport. Weed
Munrosand j. ii. Wendell, the latter an
resident of Wright county. The fight
was between fusion delegates on one
side and country delegates and Maho'
ney delegates Oh the other side. 1t wasu
one of the hottest fights every seen inn
convention, and it Is doubtful ii al
harder fight was ever made tor any one .
than was made for Judge Stephen Nal
honey yesterday. He was turned down,
1t is true, but 1t was by peculiar com
bination. By combining with the Ma
honey men and later with the anti-Ma-
honey men, the country was able to win
the day.
The convention was organized by
electing Albert Christello chairman and
I &. A. Cornman secretary. Later this
organization was made permanent. A
committee on credentials, consisting of
titus Mareck, p. j. Callahan and j. A.
and c. w. Herrick. of Wright county.
was appointed. Anoka and Isanti
counties. arriving too late for the organ
iZation, were not represented on the
committee. Fifty-fiye delegates com
posed the convention. forty of whom
were from Hennepin county. seven
from Wright county, four from Anoka
county and five from Isanti county.
The committee on resolutions con.
sisted of ID. B. johnson. NJ. A. O'Hair.
j. j. McHale. Z. j. Bartleson and
Ralph Rees, THIS committee gave birth
to the following resolutions:
We, the Democrats of the Fourth
judicial district, in convention assem-.
Dled, most heartily approve and indorse
the principles enunciated In tine plat
form of the state, congressional aud
county conventions.
We sadly deplore the action of the
chief executive of this state in his
biased, prejudlced and partisan appoint

We hold that he is soleiy responsible
for the judiciary of the largest district
in this state being thrown into partisan
politics, in that when he BECAME gov.

Programme or the Benefit Enter.
tainment to Be Given at the
Bijou.
Over five Llndred tickets were ex-
changed at the Bijou box Office yester.
day for the benefit entertainment next
Saturday night. The policemen and
firemen are still actively engaged in
selling tickets, several of the down.
town officers having already over 100 to
their credit. With the liberal response
that Minneapolis citizens have made on
this occasion, there is every reason to
believe that a handsome sum will be
realized. Among those who are con-
tribut ng to the affair are the Minne-
apolis General Electric company, who
have given the light free for the occh4
sion; Geesaman d Murphy, who have
the posting, and the Miller Printing
company, who have furnished the
tickets.
Stage Manager Frank j. Jnngen has
practically completed the programme,
and the same will include the Masonic
qoartette, Prof. Thomas Taylor Drill in
a baritone solo. a dialect reading by
Miss leila Z. SweitZer, an opening ad-
dress by Mayor Eustis, the Swedish
Orpheus Choral society, the Florentine
Mandolin club, banjo solo by Robert
&. Gale, song aid dance by Miss
Barttram, a Polish dance by Miss Mabel
Runge and George Leon BlOomquist,
Tony Temple in an eccentric dialect
specially, whistling solo by Sydney
Ash, cOntraltO solo by MIS-. Eleanor
Plank and a violin solo by Prof. Helm
rich Hoevel.
The Bijou orchester, through the
kindness of the musicians union, will
be largely augmented for the occasion,
and under the leadership OF Prof. Jacob
Schetter will present several artistic
orchestra numbers. The programme,
as il will be presented by the foregoing
talent, will afford one of the best high
class speciality entertainments ever
given in this city. and is especially de-
serving of the patronage of the citizens,
in view of the fact that every cent real
lied will be devoted to the relief fund.
The price of admission will be only so
cents.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
That of Keeping the Minutes OF
the District Court.


The minutes of the district court cut
an important figure very often in mat
tiers of litigation, and now the question
of some legal provision for the keeping
of them has come up in the clerks Office
in connection with the ancient suit of
Barclay Cooper against the Minneap-
oils u st. LOUIS Railway company.
The story of the case is briefly this:
The road obtained permission to
condemn a narrow strip of land in
the vicinity Of First street and Fourth
avenue north for railroad purposes.
Three commissioners we're appointed to
condemn the land. assessing the dam.
ages at $4,000. An appeal was taken,
and, by order of Judge Pond. $40, 900
was paid Mr.. Cooper and $4,000 to
Harriet F. Jackson, who had an interest
in the land. A stipulation was entered
into between the parties, however, that
three arbitrators should be appointed,
they to decide from the evidences
whether the award was just one, and
their decision TO be filed.
Right here is where the trouble came
in. The>deputy clerk failed to recover

A Little Hot "StuR."

AS soon as the resolutions were
adopted, John Long moved to proceed
to nominate four candidates tor the dis.
trict bench.
ID. B. Johnson moved that F. G.
Brooks, Weed Monro and Benjamin
davenport be nominated by acclama-
ton.
Il object" said M. Whelan. 81 move
to amend by adding the name of
Stephen Mahoney."
AREN'T you going to give the county
show?" asked Wright county man.
''Are you gong to hog everything as
the Republicans did%'
There can be no objection to these
men," said d. b. Johnson, land / don't
believe that any one here will say any
thing against them" He then went OIL
to touch up Gov. Nelson again, but
Nelson was at the present time con-
spring to defeat the election of a Min
neapolis man to the United States Seu-
ate.
Judge Long was the next speaker,
and he made red-hot speech. He
declared that there was scheme on

He referred to the Populist judicial
| convention as an "excrescence." lie
| said that be had seen them in state

anything but Populist talk.
Davy johnson objected to this speech,
and then followed "a discussion as to
Judge Mahoney's candidacy. Several
| speeches against him were made, among
them one by Max Robb. He said /:
"There has been talk of Judge Ma
hOney's Democracy. Now, l stand here
today to challenge Stephen Mahoney's
| Democracy. Who elected him to the
position he now holds but these same
Republicans, ana then tell Inc about
his Democracy. Why, he hasn't enough
Democracy in him to carry him to the

ID. b. johnson remarked: 81 regret
very much that the last speaker has

agent.
There were cries OF "Hang 'emp and

board the train bound for Minneapolis

sorts of things. Gooding rose and re-
marked that he "would lick the whole
outfit" If they did not dispense and
