TIHE OMAITA DAILY BEER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER o -y 1895 it seemed that you could almost drop the ball in. It was about the dinner hour, 0 we pansed several places and went on to where they were running a roulette wheel, where cigars were the nominal premium, but it was really a game for money. You selected a paddle with a number running from one to six, corresponding to numbers on the wheel, There wera thres ‘“‘stool-pigeons,” canfederates, who cach took a paddle, while the operator held two padales himself. On the face of ft there were 5 to 1 against you, but in veslity It was 1,000,000 to against you, because the operator con the wheel with a wire. Just next to it a stand tempting the unwary to riug ¢ knives and revolvers, but the game seeme too hard to cstch many except the unini- tiated COMES I"'ROM CONEY One th h thoy were pieying game, which gav 5 ISLAND. side was a stand where the Coney Island plate you a chance of winning watches and revolvers and other valuable prizes for an outlay of 10 cents. The top of a dow table was covered with tin disks about four inches in diametor, the edges of which i was to com pletely a single tin disk with four brass by throwing them onto the table from outside the ropes, a distance ot about fiye fest. I watched the ettendant throwing them, and if anybody should have bacn an expert it was he, for he stood there throwing them all day. Out of twent trials he succeeded times, he ihe Advantage of @i (wa fee by being within the ropes. And yet there were plenty of fish who bit on this bait “Well,” said Mr. Dutton, “I am mighty sarry (o know that this has * e going on, but I assurs you that neither the com- mander f the camp nor our committee were aware of it. Your state fair In Omaha and the various county fairs are about to take place, and I want you to show this business up. Those games are nothing but plain robbery, and that is all. If the man. agement of fairs and reunions knew about them they would not be permitted.” On the strect connecting the two avenues was a table marked off in squarcs on which were displayed watchies, revolvers and the cheapest kind of cheap jewelry, key-rings and brass trinkets, The s were numbered from twelve to forty-five. For 15 conts the dealer gave wou a hand of eight cards, and you be- eame entitied to the prize on the square the number of which corresvended to the sum of the numbers on your cards, No one but one of the paid “stool-pigedns” ever recelved any prige. worth more tian 3 cents.’ It did not take long to see how it was worked. The big prizes were all on numbers above forty or helow fifteen. The sum of the eight cards from a deck which contained oniy a few ones and sixes could never add up more than forty or. less than filteen. On good authority I learned that there was a three card monte game going on in one of the tents. It was not public, but several stecrers were out gathering in the unsophis ticated lambs and leading them to be fleeced. There was one man whom I saw with a pocket full of pennies, who doubtless was an expbrt at matching and was plying his trade. There were other games which were tried for a short time, but did not run more than a day. One was pitching a quarter at a wash bowl about twelve feet away, with a chance of getting 50 cents if successful. I saw at least $10 thrown, and not a cent returned, so it was profitable business. At that distance the angle was such that a coin thrown a balf inch too high would go over the bowl and too low would strike the edge, so there was gbout one chance in a million in getting into the bowl. Besides this were fake strength-testing machines, which displayed Prizes never to be gained. Other fake gam of a similar nature were also on the grounds. There is little doubt in my mind that an organized gang was working this reunion for all It was worth. I know that the cigars used on one game were supplied by another fakir on the other side of the grounds. After I was engaged for a while in watching the games I found that I was no longer solicited to and they seemed to have an idea that I was spying on them, so It is probable that they had some bond between them. This class of sharpers travels from one fair and reunion to another, and unless thelr managers adopt strict regulations they will continue to fleece the unsophisticated. Aisks IN FAVOR OF PRIMARIES AT YORK. Mass Meeting of Republicans of that City to Discuss the Matter. YORK, Neb., Sept. 1.—(Special)—A mass mieeting of republicans was held last evening for the purpose of determining which would be more agreeabls to the candidates for nomi- nations before the county conventlon, which 1s to be held here September 10, to hold cau cuses or primaries In the city of York in se- lecting delegates. Dr. Reynolds of this city was chosen ehalrman and I. A. Baker secre- tary. ore seemed to be much feeling that primaries should be held in York, but what caused much discussion was whether: or not it would be better to instruct the deleg: for those recelving the majority of the votes cast, or to have them represent the candi- dates fn proportion to the number of votes they had received. At last it was decided that the majority would rule and the one recsiv- ing a majority of theivotes would be repre- sented by tha delegates from that ward, Throughout the county it is probable that cancuses will be held. The democrats of this county will be ac- companled to the state convention at Lincoln by the York Military band. It fs thought that the democrats of this district will fayor putting up a judiclal ticket in the Fifth dis- trict. It Is hardly possible, though, should they not do this, that there will be fusion be- tween the populiets and the democrats, for the coo] treatment that the democrats were subjected to at the hands of the populists when they did fuse has learned them a les- son.

WILL TAKE IT TO HOLCOM vernor's Cup and the Dispute Over it Will Be Carried, Members of tbe Omaha Guards authorize the statement that they know where the Governor's cup, which disappeared at Hast- ings, is and that today it will be taken to Lincoln and placed in the hands of the gov- ernor as commander-in-chief of the state militia. It is the intention of the Guards to make him an arbiter of the sorry dispute that arose at the state encampment. An attorney has been employed to present the claims of the company before the governor and a willingness to abide by the executive's decision is expressed. The position of the Guards in the main is that as finally but one company, the Nor- folk company, appeared in the drill, there was no competitive drill, and that therefora the Guards should retain the cup. They re- feterate their complaint that they were dis- eriminuted agalnst by - Brigadier General Colby. It is stated that before at Hastings the cup was Omala.

In commermoration of the victory at Sedan | and of the valor of thelr countrymen, whose lives were given up on that eventful day for | their fatherland, the Germans of the city held a colebration yesterday at Frahm's park, and one of less magnitude at Ruser's park. The colebration at Frahm's park was held undor the auspices of the German Landwehr verein and commenced early in the afternoon. | It began with a parade through the principal streets of the city, starting at 1:30 o'clock | from the society's hall at 1313 Howard street, and ending at Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets, whera street cars were taken There were almost 200 mem- bers of the association in line, and among them were tweaty-five members of the Ben- arrived in the city in the morning. Of the men in line there were | fifty who wers soldiers in the German army, and these were dressed { nthe white fatigue jackets and black caps of the organization. The grounds were packed with jubilant Germans, despite the fact that many were kept away by lack of street car servic Ealy in the day a portion of the machinery of the power hose supplying the Walnut Hiil car line was disabled and trains were run only west of Twenty-fourth street on Cum- ing. Refreshments were to be had at all times and throughout the festivities a good band furnished cxcellent confert and dance music. The Omaha Saengerbund was out in full force and entertained the picnickers —with many excellent selections. In addition to these attractions and at intervals during the afternoon and evening numbers of an in- formal program were rendered, which were greatly enjoyed. The festitvities were early begun by a shooting contest, in which there were forty- two entries. The winner of the contest was Fritz Elvers, who obtained thirty-five points out of a possible thirty-six, while August Schagum and Berhardt Behrens were re- spectively adjudged second and third, each making a score of thirty-four. The winners wero awarded prizes. On the sporting pro- gram there were a number of foot races, three for boys of different ages and a like number for girls and women, prizes being awarded In each event. A number of games were also played, an incentive In the shape of a prize being offered. The most pleasing part of the entertain- ment was on the platform in front of the band stand late in the afternoon. Here the Omaha Saengerbund assembled, and after they had sung “Der Wacht am Rhine’” Dr. Grossman delivered an address, in which he feelingly spoke of the occasion which had gathered the plenickers together. The ad- dress was followed by another selection by the Saengerbund, “Es Geht mit Gedaempf- ten Trommelklang.” Then their comrades dragged forward a number of the veterans of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, and decorated them with oak wreaths. Among those who were so honored were C. F. Bouf- fles, president of the local verein; Herman Busch, the ex-president; Theodore Dusing, Michael Belgard, Frederick Krause, Dr. Grossman, Carl Carlson, Heinrich Ples, S Laub, Jacob Hansen, August Bohne, Charles Schatow, John Novak and Charles Hilde- brandt. These were of the Omaha society and of the Bennington soclety the following wero also adorned: Hans Wies, Theodore Runker and Willlam Johnson. This part of the prog s a complete surprise to the principals, and in fact (o all those present except those who originated it, and was heart- ily received. At dusk the program was practically brought to a close, although the picnickers stayed to a iate hour to enjoy social inter- course and to listén to the music. The final number was a representation of the storm- ing of Sedan. The former soldiers of the empire fell into line, and, marching to the battlefield, kept up a fusilade with their muskets for some minutes. The whizzing and cracking of bombs was represented with fireworks and finally a bonfire, to represent the fall of Sedan, and a charge ended the battle. At Ruser's park the anniversary was cele- brated by a pienic which was giver by the Plattsdeutcher verein. Members and their friends to the number of 500 were in at- tendance. There was dancing, bowling alley contests, singlng and splendid music and talk unlimited, in fact all of the essentials of an enjoyable German holiday. The fun commenced at 8 o'clock and lasted until a late hour. e L e OFFICER CLARK SUSPENDED. Churged with Leaving His Beat to Join Lewd © ny. Patrolman Clark was suspended yesterday from the police force pending investigation on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and absence from his post while on duty.

A detail of officers In charge of a sergeant was sent down to investigate the rumor, as complaints had been made at varfous times by people in this neighborhood that they were without police protection after 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. The squad sur- rounded the house and made a search of the premises, but found no “copper.” There was a room that was locked,” however, and the keeper of the dive refused to unlock it. The police were Stationed about the place, but no one appeared. The officer in charge ordered the men back to their quarters. They walked around the corner, but at once reappeared and found Clark coming from out the house. His hel- met was crushed and his uniform looked though he had been in hiding in a cellar or storeroom. He was ordered into the station and suspended. Brown also was found coming from out the house. The cases agalnst the patrolman and watch- man will be laid before the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners tonight. The police say that Brown has passed a good examination for the position of patrolman on the Churchill- Russell police force and has been qualified and accepted. He is an ex-policeman.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS ocooco: Tuesday 1s the day for the school bond elec- tion. It is a hard matter to obtain the gen- eral sentiment of the people, as very little in- terest seems to be taken in the affair. Indeed hundreds of people in town do not know that there is a special election on the tapls. No one except heavy property owners are heard to talk about the election, and it s doubtful if a heavy vote will be polied. The proposition 18 to vote $40,000 in bonds to keep the schools running for another term, the bonds to run fifteen years and draw 5 por cent interest. In case the bonds do not pass the 20-mill levy assessed by the county commissioners for school purposes will be collected. Should the bond proposition pass the entire levy will be thrown off.

NEW YORK, Sept. r. Forbes Win- slow of London, a well known specialist on suicide and {nsanity, says that “Jack the Ripper,” who by his crimes terrorized Lon don a few years ago, is incarcerated in a county lunatic asylum In England. Dr Winslow says this fact is known to the doc- tors, but they hushed it up. The doctor has come to New York to attend the Medical congress, which will be held September 4, 6 and 6. He will be chairman of the department of insanity and mental medicine, and has prepared a paper on “Suicide Considered as a Mental Epl- demic.” The doctor told the following story: “‘Jack ‘the Ripper’ was a medical student of good family. He was a young man of slight bulld and light hair and blue eyes. He studied very hard, and his mind, being naturally weak, gave way. He became a religious enthusiast and attended early sery- ice every morning at St. Paul's. His re- ligous fervor resulted in homicidal mania toward the women of the street and im- pelled him to murder them. He lodged with a man whom I knew, and suspicion was first directed toward him by reason of the fact that he returned to his lodgings at un- seasonable hours, and that he had innumer able coats and hats stained with blood. “I have in my possession now a pair of Canadian moccasins stained with blood that the ‘Ripper’ wora while on his murdering expeditions. I notified the Scotland Yard authoritles, but at that time they refused to co-operate with me. Subsequently the yours man was placed in confinement and remoyed to an asylum, where he is today. Since his incarceration there has been no repetition of the horrible murders that he perpstrated. These facts are all known to the English authorities, and it is conceded that the man now in the asylum is ‘Jack the Ripper.’ It was deemed desirable, however, to hush the matter up. The details were too horrible to bo the subject of a public trial and there was no doubt of the man's hopeless insan- ity."” Another Side of the Case.
