Coming to Baseball Game.

Bessemer baseball fans are fully as enthusiastic over the Coal Barons as the Birmingham people themselves, and as evidence of this it is learned today that fully 100 rooters' will go over tomorrow to the pennant raising. Baseball peop.e here consider that when it comes to the great American game they belong to Birmingham and they propose to have as much share in the glory shed by Vaughn's team as the greater city, and all feel that they must do their part in helping the team to win.
 The boys here are much gratified over the low combined rate offered by the interurban railway line and the Birming ham Baseball association which is the same as last year-65 cents for the round trip, including a grandstand seat These special tickets have been prepared and are now on sale at Fulton's drug store.

MANY DELEGATES COMING

Bessemer, April S.-(Special. )-While the municipal campaign is the most absorb ing topic before the people of this city just now there was little interest evinced here in the matter today except among the candidates who were as busy as bees seeking out their friends, the voters, and endeavoring to convince them that they should cast their votes in certain drec- tions. From present indications the vote for several of the offices is sure to be close, hence a second primary is fully expected in order to settle the question of superiority. This contingency does not appear to bother the candidates now be- fore the people so much as it does the probable candidates for chief of police in the event that the people decide next Wednesday to abolish the police commis- sion and elect the police chief by popu- lar vote.
 There are several citizens here who would be willing to serve as chief of the local police. including. of course, the in eumbent who will be a candidate for re- election. These gentlemen say that in the event that the police commission is abolished and the nomination for chief is to be submitted to the people in the primary run-off, which they certainly ex- pect to take place one week after the Wednesday primary, that they will be at disadvantage in having only a week in which to make a canvass. This will necessitate whirlwind campaign on the part of these seekers for office. but will be as fair for one as for the other so far as the outcome is concerned.
 Should the people of Bessemer decide to retain the police commission by vote on Wednesday the term of the incumbent will continue until October, 1908. under the law which governs the present commis- sion,

Get Some Extra Advertising.

Mild excitement was created this after noon by a drunken white man who, ac- cordng to reports, tried to break up a show in a tent. The show people were late in arriving and could not give an afternoon performance, so 1t appears that the drunken man tried to raise a rough house. Two of the circus employees jumped on the offender and beat him up, whereupon he had them arrested. The circus men, with their manager, appeared before Judge Jackson, but on presentation of their case they were liberated and all lowed to give their performance tonight, which appears to have been successful, with the extra advertising they got in court.

ELECT BUSSE
CHICAGO MAYOR
BITTER PERSONAL CAMPAIGN
Revcrsion in Public Sentiment Of
Two Years Ago Carries Post
master Into Mayoralty.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE most in
tense municipal campaign Chicago
has experienced in many years closed
tonight with the election of Busse,
the Republican candidate for mayor,
over Edward F. Dunno, his Demo-
cratic rival and candidate for re-elec-
ton, by plurality of between a.
600 and $4,000.
The issues of the campaign have
been largely based on the improve
ment of the local traction system.
Both parties were agreed that the
present conditions were intolerable,
but differed as to the bestt method to
be employed in revising them. The
Democrats, haded by Dunno, stood
for municipal ownership through
condemnation of the street car prop
critics, if the result could not be OBJ
tanned in any other way. The Re-
publican party favored ordinances
which were recently passed by the
! Democratic city council over DUNES
veto. The ordinances provide for
twenty-year franchises, the city re-
tanning the right to purchase the sys-
TEN for $50, 100000 plus the amount
spent for the immediate rehabilita-
ton of the lines, six months notice
being necessary TO acquire the prop
erty. The fight for and against these
ordinances by referendum vote
has been exceedingly bitter
They were carried by a majority
of about 10000 votes. The vote to-
day showed decided reversal OF
public opinion on the question of mu-
nicipal ownership compared with
the campaign of two years ago. At
that time Dunno received 10000
votes, against 1SS.000 for the Re-
publican candidate. This year the Re-
publican vote was close to 10000
and the Democratic about $4,000.
The campaign has been one of the
most vicious the city has ever known.
Charges and r-charges were
hurled back and forth, the personal
lives of the candidates have beer
held up to the public and throughout
the entire campaign the speakers on
both sides have INDUCED night after
night TRADES filled with invective
and abuse.

water. Most of the fish are small.
