SIGNAL VICTORY FOR GEAR
Republican Oauousea Ecanlt Very Farorably
for Present Senator.
CUMMINS FACTION IS BADLY DEFEATED
iA. S. Ilncclton , Ocnr Candidate for
State Solicitor , Get * Flflr-Tliree
of the Slxty-Konr DcIcKnten
to the Convention.
The republican caucuses In this city last
night resulted In a signal victory for A.
S. Hazelton , the Gear candidate for state
senator , and ho will go into the county con
vention next Wednesday with fifty-three of
the sixty-four delegates selected , while
Colonel C. G. Saundcrs , the Cummins candi
date , will have but eleven back of him. As
had been fully anticipated , owing to the
keen Interest taken In the senatorial con
test , which wns the all-absorbing factor ,
the primaries last night drew out the big
gest attendance over known In the city. In
fact so largo was the attendance In some
precincts that the number of ballots cast
exceeded the recognized vote of the pre
cinct. Both Rides worked like beavers the
entire day and until the vote was counted ,
both the friends of A , B. Cummins and the
followers of Senator Gear being equally
sure of victory. In come of the precincts
the contest was remarkably close and spir
ited nnd It was a toss-up as to which fac
tion had gained the day until the result was
officially announced. The friends of Mr.
Cummins recognized that they had an up
hill fight on their hands and when the out
come was known they took their defeat
philosophically , realizing that they did the
best they could for their candidate. With
an overwhelming majority of the city dele
gation at his back the nomination of A. S.
Hazelton for state senator Is conceded.
The First precinct of the First ward re
turned a Cummins delegation by a vote of
70 to 65 , while the Second precinct of that
ward went for Gear almost two to one ,
the vote being 112 to 61.
In the First precinct of the Second ward
Gear carried the day , the delegation fa
vorable to him being selected by 82 to 56.
Content In the Second.
In the Second precinct of the Second ward
occurred the hottest fight of the day and
the result was that there will be two con
testing delegations from thla precinct. .The
trouble arose over the appointment of a
chairman. Precinct Commlttecman G. G.
Balrd , a Gear man , on calling the caucus to
order , appointed Ovldo Vlen permanent
chairman without giving the caucus a
chance to nominate Ita own chairman.
Vlen on taking his place Immediately pro
ceeded to name a secretary and two tellers
without asking the wishes of the voters
present. This aroused the temper of the
Cummins men and they placed C. B. Altchl-
son In nomination as chairman. The chair
refused to entertain the nomination and
for nearly half an hour paudomonlum
reigned. Finally a division was called for
and while the followers of Cummins were
gathering In one end of the room the Coal
men proceeded to hold their caucus. Then
the Cummins faction decided to hold a
eeparate caucus. The vote In the Gear cau
cus gave Gear 131 votes and Cummins 13 ,
while In the Cummins caucus the ballots
showed 150 for the Des Molnes candidate
nnd 41 for Gear. The delegates selected by
the Cummins faction last night stated that
they would contest the right of the other
delegation to be seated In the convention
next Wednesday.
In the flrst precinct of the Third ward
the Gear followers outnumbered the Cum
mins men two to one , Hazelton's delega
tion being elected by a vote of 137 to 65.
The Second precinct of this ward returned
a divided delegation , four being for Gear
and ono for Cummins. The vote In this
precinct was neck and nock and It was any
body's victory until the official count was
announced. About 250 ballots were cast
here. The First precinct of the Fourth
ward was conceded to Gear and the Cum
mins people made no effort to select a dele
gation. The delegates were selected by a
committee and received consequently the
unanimous vote of the caucus.
In the Second precinct , however , the con-
teat was very close , the Gear delegation
being selected only by a majority of three
votes , sixty-two ballots being cast for Gear
as against fifty-nine for Cummins.
The First precinct of the Fifth ward went
for Gear by a vote of 109 to 88 , but the
Second precinct reversed the order of things
and erected a Cummins delegation with 93
votes against 56 for Gear.
The First precinct of the Sixth ward was
carried by the followers of Gear and they
elected tholr delegation by a vote of 121 to
78 for Cummins. Although no official re
turns were received lost night from Cut-Off ,
which constitutes the Second precinct of the
Sixth ward , it was generally conceded that
the one delegate from this precinct would
be for Senator Gear.
The country precincts will hold their
caucuses tonight While the Cummins men
ore hopeful of securing some of the town-
ehlps , it la generally conceded that the ma
jority of the delegation will be aeafnut him
and In favor of Gear ,

HUOIIF.S OUTS THI3 CONTRACT.
II111 of $ -,7,700 UrliiKn the IIlRli School
IMiifi < o Him.
The Board of Education held ft special
mooting yesterday afternoon at the Bloomer
bulldlcg and decided to award the contract
I for the construction of the now high school
building to George F. Hughes on his bid of
$57,700. The award , however , was made con
ditionally and tht/ contract will not bo for
mally entered Into between the board nnd
, Hugos until after the decision of State SuperIntendent -
. Intondont Barrett In the T. L. Smith nlto
i appeal caao Is received , and only then pro
viding the ruling upholds the action of the
board In eel6ctlng the Oakland avenue prop
erty as the location for the new high school.
| The resolution awarding the contract condi
tionally also provides that It shall not bo
entered Into until the title of the property
Is vested In the school district.
This action was taken yesterday so that
bidders might know to which the contract
was to go , to avoid any further delay after
the ruling of the state superintendent Is
known and which the board believes will be
I favorable to It.
It developed that Hughes had arranged to
subcontract for the carpenter work In t.hn
event of his being awarded the contract to a
party who was not acceptable to the members
of the board. The plans and specifications
tinder which the bids were made provide
that the persons securing the contract shall
furnish the architects with the names of their
subcontractors and that they must bo satis
factory to them. Hughes said he was' anxious
to meet with the wishes of the board and
agreed not to employ the carpenter objected
to. Hughes' bid of $57,700 was the lowest
received.
The president and secretary were author
ized to complete the contract with the arch
itects , Cox & Schoentgen , who prepared the
plans and specifications for the new high
school. The contract provides that they
ehall receive $2,600 for the entire work , which
Includes the supervision of the construction
of the building. This Is to be paid them
In three amounts , the first Installment of
$750 on the signing of the contract , $750 when
the building Is under roof and $1,000 when
the school has been completed and turned
over to the board. The compensation to the
architects la a little over 4 per cent on the
cost of the building. Under the contract.
Messrs. Cox & Schoentgen are to give dally
supervision to the work of construction.
An attempt on the part of Hess to Intro
duce a resolution restoring the salaries of
the principals who had been reduced was
thwarted by Moore , who objected to any
such action being taken In the absence of
Stewart and Cooper of the finance commit
tee.
Before Introducing his motion , Hess
stated1 that he wished to make a few re
marks In explanation of his vote at the reg
ular meeting , at which he supported the re
port of tfio finance committee reducing the
salaries of the principals. He now was sorry
that ho had voted to support the report
anil , after thinking the matter over , felt
that It was wrong to reduce the pay of
teachers who had reached their present po
sitions by years of service and merit. He
thought It was all wrong and If any cutting
was to bo done It was the salaries of the
grade teachers that should be reduced. As
he was about to Introduce his resolution ,
Member Moore Interposed , saying that they
ought to postpone the matter until Cooper
and Stewart were present. This , he said ,
he believed was only justice to the two
members of the finance committee who had
'been ' mainly responsible for the. cut In the
salaries. President Sims said he was pre
pared to vote right there and then and did
not see the necessity of putting the matter
off until Stewart and Cooper were present.
This brought Moore to his feet again with
the remark that It was not fair.
Hess said : "I want to be fair and If the
board so wills It , will wait until Cooper and
Stewart are present. "
Swalno said he was In favor of postponing
the matter , but Henry was ready to vote.
Further discussion of the question elicited
from Moore the admission that the reason
he had supported the report reducing the
salaries was because the board hod refused
to reappolnt E. R. Fonda as supervisor ot
buildings. He said : "Hitherto I have al
ways kept politics out of the board and ,
although I have always been In favor of
paying liberal salaries , I had to stick to
my friends and by voting as I did I secured
another vote for Fonda , although It failed
to elect him. "
Sims Do you mean to say , Mr. Moore ,
that In order to retain Fonda you voted to
reduce the salaries of the principals al
though iln your heart you were opposed to
such a course ?
Moore I had to stand by my friends
nnd when politics were Introduced by the
other members , and Fonda turned down In
favor of a republican , I thought I would
Inject a Ilttlo politics myself.
After a little further discussion the in
cident was closed by Hess agreeing to post
pone the matter until nwct Tuesday night ,
when the board will hold an adjourned
meeting.

DE3 MOINES , Sept. 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Today was DCS Molncs day at the
fair , when some 20,000 people attended. The
fair ends tomorrow after the most success
ful week In Its history. The receipts will
aggregate $10,000 and as the expenses are
but $20,000 to $25,000 It IB going to leave
n neat surplus. This surplus will bo used
In Improving the grounds and making the
fair still bettor next year. Late this after
noon many of the big exhibitors packed up
their exhibits and began moving out , as It
always has been the custom to make Friday
the last day. The management made a
great protest and finally told the exhibitors
that If they moved their displays before
Saturday afternoon the fair management
would not pay their premiums. This made
the exhibitors hot and they Immediately ap
pealed to the courts and naked for an In
junction , claiming that matters had been
misrepresented to them and that they
wanted to leave In order to reach the Min
nesota State fair on time. The matter wus
finally patched up without court Interfer
ence , however , and the stock was permitted
to leave , all others remaining.
General Manager < Martln of the Iowa Cen
tral stated that his resignation went
lute e.ftect today. There have been all sorts
of rumors about the matter , but this Is
the first official announcement. While Mar
tin resigns his office he will bo connected
with the road for some Umo to come at
least until the negotiations for the sale of
the Iowa Central to either the Milwaukee
or Burlington are consummated. J. N. Tltto-
moro will act as general manager of the
road as he has during the Illness of Martin.
The facts In the case are that Martha was
told by the owners of the road while east
that It was almost impossible In this age
to operate a small system , especially where
the system begins at nowhere and ends at
the same place. The Iowa Central has been
getting the short end of the stick and yet
He expense Is as heavy oa the other roads
proportionately.
A large warehouse stored with Iron , rub1-

ST. PAUL , Sept. 1. A Pierre ( S. D. )
special to the Dispatch says :
The Populist , the official paper of Gov
ernor Lee In this city , today announces that
the governor will refuse to call a session
of the legislature to provide means to bring
the troops from San Francisco. It also states
that he will refuse to Issue emergency war
rants , wNoh means that state warrants will
have to bo registered within a few days , but
It is not likely that any of them will bo
for more than a short time.
The Populist also announces that Public
Examiner Taylor has filed a report showIng -
Ing crooked work In the management of the
penitentiary , the reform school and Insane
asylum under former management , but that
the officers refuse to give out the report ,
stating that It will bo published In due time.

PIERRE , S. D. , Sept. 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Governor Lee In his refusal to call a
special session takes the position that no
/such emergency exists which would justify j
a special session. Ho believes the money can
be raised by popular subscription and he U
l disposed to allow the committee appointed
| at Huron to carry Ita work to a successful
termination and will glvo it his encourage
ment.
The Populist , the official paper of the gov
ernor , states that ho will not authorize the
issue of emergency warrants to meet the
deficit which will come In a few days without
them , for the reason that ho does not be
lieve there will be any discount on the state
warrants , as the time until they can bo paid
will be short. The oamo paper promises
early sensations In the report of the public
examiner on tbo past management of the
penitentiary , reform school and insane hos
pital , but as yet the governor's office does
not see fit to give tbo matter out for publica
tion.
