EL Yopp. The caucus, immediately preceding the election of the above officers, was held behind closed doors in the Mayor's office and the halls and other apartments of the building were crowded with expectant voters and aspirants for the several places to be distributed. Mayor Springer and every member of the new Board were n attendance upon the caucus. It asted from 8 to 10 o'clock and a cheer went up as the Board came out in open session and, filed Inside the rail ing in the main court room.

Behrends, third ward; F. E. Has hagen and Walter E. Yopp, fourth ward, and M. G. Tiencken and Walter P. Gafford, fifth ward. The real tug of war in the caucus was over the election of City Clerk and Treasurer and Assistant. Messrs. W. W. Hodges and Jno. W. Gafford, respectively, were the opposition to the successful ticket and. reports are that, although it did not come to a tie vote, there was a ereat struggle. Members of the Board, however, display ed no look of dissatisfaction when the - final result had been determined and they took their Beats for the final consummation of a series of acts that had been the bone of con tention in the political arena of the city for several weeks. v Mayor Springer called the meeting to order, and Mr. Hashagen, who had acted as clerk of the caucus, read the nominations in the order given above.

Wool ard as superintendent of streets and combines with that the office of civil engineer for the city, and Mr. 8. L. Yopp as cattle weigher, who succeeds Mr. Geo. T. Bland, who made no effort for re-election. The officers chosen are eminently fitted by experience for their several places and the Board Is to be congratulated, for the most part, upon policy. The election of first, second, third and fourth sergeant, has no especial significance as far as the numbers go. Sergeant Ward will remain as clerk of the police court according to the statemen of an alderman last night and with the other sergeants, will re main equal in rank.' -The ad journment last night was un til Monday at 8 P.

He thanked them as servants of the people for having reposed the confidence in him and said t would be his effort, object and de termination to do the very best- he could for the city's welfare; that he had no personal interest in being mayor and that he would declare his purpose, first, last and all the time to serve the people. He wanted it un derstood that he considered himself the servant of the people and desired their views and co-operation in every way. Mayor Springer also invited the sup port and co-operation of the Board of Aldermen as well as the citizens at large. He said he was fully confident that If any measure of success Is reached, it must be through unity, har mony and co-operation.
