A gentleman from Ouakland, Cali- fornia, stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel, while on his way to church last evening, was roped into a den aud induced to play against a game of faro, at which he lost $500. He claims that the game was a “brace and that he was drugged so that he did not know what he wusdoing. He lias placed the matter in the hands of an eflicient officer, who will work up the case at once. The vietim says he will remain in Omaha as long as it is necessary to get even with the ras- cals who beat him out of his mo; Brace faro is played in this whenever any greenhorn he “steered” against the game, and the attention of the city officials i€called to this fact. can “Jewelry Auction On Wednesday morning of this week we close out an entire stock of jewelry, . watches, chains, sets, &c.

How Long will the Present State of Affairs Continue ? The Duty of the Police. The game of threescard monte, for the information of those who do not know much atout it, is, as its name indieates, played with three cards. One man throws them, one after the other, in rapid succession, and at the conclusion of the operation, any person, who may have been roped in for the occasion, bets, if he can be induced to do so, that he can pick out a certain card, which he has been previously shown. There is one chance out of three in a square game for a man to win. The professional throwers of three- card monte attain such dexterity in their sleight-of-hand performances— for they can be called nothing else— that they have what may be called a dead-sure thing. An expert thrower will «how the victim the card which is to be picked out, and while hand- ling it he will turn up a corner, or crimp it, as if by accident, so that the “sucker” can follow it with his eye, or at least i« led to believe that Lie can, and so thinks that he has got it sure; but when he turns it over he finds that he is mistaken, and that the error has cost bim something— generally all the money and jewelry that he has with him. The thrower, of course, while manipulating the cards, bends back the turncd up cors ner, and turns up the corner of another card in a similar manner, The successful operations of three- card monte throwers is all owing to one single principle—that the action of the hand is quicker than the movement of the eye, The victim is generally allowed to win several times in succession, until the bets run up to large amounts, when he is sure to lose every time. The trick appears so simple 1o him, that he is willing to risk everything be possesses on it. The professional monte players generally frequent race courses and fair grounds in the East, while in the West they travel on railroad trains, and infest the princ on the lines, in search of victims, The game first made its appear- ance in Omaha about sixteen months ago, being introduced here by the cel- ebrated Canada Bill, the king of monte men, and since that time it has been operated here and on our uifroads with more or less boldness, Sums gen- erally small, but sometimes very large, cunning and freque ipal towns Pacitic depot along Ninth street, All | manner of taps, the detailsof which | have ficquently appeared in these columng, are set for the ungnarded, | and he that escapes them all is indeed no ordinary individual, i These cappers are bold and shrewd | men, of vast experience in the ways of the world, and their knowledge of | human character, acquired by con- stant bontact with men in every sta- tion of life, enables them generally to “spot” the right kind of a man for | their vietim, The citizens of Omaha have become heartily tired of hearing of the deeds of these men, and they ask how long shall this state of affairs contigue. Shall Omaha remain the headquarters and the stronghold of the mob of the | three-card monte men of the north- west? Shall she continue to be look- ed upon as a man-trap, and therefore to be avoided as a dangerous place ? Or shall she drive out these men, and thus wipe out the stain that they have brought upon Omaha’s once fuir name? These are the guestions that are daily agitating the public mind,4 and we are awaiting with interest t1 see what action the new city oflcl& will take in regard to the matter, They were elected with the expecta- tion that they would do all in their power to suppress this nuisance, and %0 we are assured they intend to do. Alrealy, we understand, owing to the expressed determination of City Marshal Rustin to drive them out of town, many of the monte men have left, and a large number more intend to take their departure this week. The officers complain that the pen- alty for this offense is not heavy enough, but we think if any of the monte men are arrested and convicted of practicing their tricks, fined $50 and costs, and sentenced to thirty d Jjail, it will have a beneficial effect. One word more. The numerous army of cappers are pretty well known to the police—if not, they ought to be—and it is the duty of every officer, whenever he sees a stranger in danger of being roped in by them, to give them a word of warning. Such action alone on the part of officers would tend more to kill the occupation of ropersin than any other one th tock of WALL PAPER CHEAP at W. & E/s BAZAR P.S.—100sets CROQUET rec’d. 1t BismMaRg, Excelsior, Magnolia, Brolaski, and all the latest styles of shoes at the Grand Central Shoe Store. 1t ATTEND the opening lunch and ball at Charley’s Place, on Ninth street, to-morrow, 1t s WANTED—Two shoemakers, wages from four to six dollars per duy, at | storm set seated in the pews, while the extra attendance was accommodated by chairs placed in the aisles ANOTHER REDUCTION on Bas BY BUGGIES to make room for 100 ore coming.

They make their living in no other way than by | beating strangers out of their money | by this three-card trick. Omaha seems to be one of the best points in the country for the carrying on of these nefarious depredations upon the pocket books of travelers, being the metropolis of Nebraska, and a great railroad centre, having seven lines terminating at and starting from it. Located as it is on the bank of the Missouri river, the boundary line between Nebraska and Iowa, itssitua- tion is & mosv convenient one, for the monte men, who, when they are sought after by the officers of the law, in bebalf of some fleeced indi- vidual, can easily step from one State to the other. The officers are thus frequently evaded, and the victim, becoming tired and disgusted at the prolonged absence of the tricksters, proceeds on the way to his destinae tion, bearing with him no pleasant remembrances of Omaha, but cons sidering it a place above all others to be shunned by the traveling public. It is thus that Omaha has gained a most dnenviable reputation abroad, and is now looked upon as one of the ost demoralized cities of the Union, ven when the monte men Jiave been arrested, they have generally with one or two exceptions, been sharp enough to manage—by buying off their victim—to escape the full pen- alty of the law, and wmerely pay a light fine for gambling. Then again, many who have lost their money, out of fear of ha their indiscretion being made public, have gone on their way, sadder, wiser and poorer men, leaving the monteites alone in their glory to cn- j..y their ili-gotten wealth, The operations of a majority of these men wure pretty well known, There are two classes of them—the first, who lay low for large amounts, and the second for small sums, The latter class ure by far, the most nu- merous. Their roping-in assistants stand on the corners of our principal streets, pick up the greeu-hoins, und steer them into dens where they are inveigled to bet against the game, A man carrying a carpet sack is at once spotted by these vultures, and shad- | owed till they either catch him or he shows that he is too sharp for them, No stranger can hardly escape several invitations to drink while walking at Rein's, war 31tf either to or from the Union Omyurs lomonx, and apples, nicest in market, at BE.
