WANTS A FEDERATION, TOO.
GaIesburg Makes a start Toward a Civic
Federation.

GALEsBURG, Ill, Sept. 28.-Among the
citizens here there is much Indignation
over the laxity shown by the officials
during the last week while the races
were in progress. From assurances given
last spring it was supposed that Manager
Q. w. Williams would keep the fair
grounds clear of all obnoxious features.
1t was on this condition that many bust
ness men subscribed toward the fund to
secure Mr. Williams track.
Eight or ten gambling rooms in differ
ent parts of the city were opened aud
fitted with rapharnalia for all well
known games. They were owned by
gamblers from Chicago, Peoria and 9TH
er cities Day and night they were run
openly without guards at the doors. In
a large room off the office of a leading
uptown hotel pools were sold openly. At
the fair grounds wheel Of fortune with
eig ht I'd bles was run in the space under
the amphitheater. In addition to the
gamblers, pick pockets, thieves and dis
reputable women sWarmed the streets
A Chicago detective here on duty said it
seemed to him as if every pick-pocket
in Chicago was n Gales burg.
Some attempt was made to capture the
thieves. The officers seemed unwilling
to raid any of the gam bling houses, so
Godfrey Haas, secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association, swore out
warrants and they we're placed in the
hands of the sheriff to serve. Only one
place was raided. City officials are said
to have informed the others that they
had to close. Outside of the one raid no
arrests were made. Oae of tile sights
on tho streets Saturday was dray loaded
with gambling implements on the way
to the freight house. The gam blers pro-
fess great indignation over this breach of
faith, and claim that they came here on
an understanding in black and white
that they should not be molested. An
investig alton Of the case is now in prog
ress and sensational disclosures are ex-
pected. A start has been made toward
forming a Civic Federation for the en-
forcenent of the law

MORE LAW BREAKING.
A Prize Fight Two Blocks From the
Police Station Last Night.


There was a prize fight last night
il a basement within two blocks Of the
police station. or course the police or
the county authorities did not know any
thing about il and an anxious public Is
patiently waiting to hear of arrests This
fight was clearly within the jurisdiction
of the police department
The principals were Lon Bennett, a
colored fighter from junction City and
prize fighter named Cavanaugh from
Kansas City. All the rufiians from all
over Kansas and Missouri gather here to
fight because it is the only place where
such things are permitted In Kansas
City they are promptly arrested. The
fight is described AS being a vicious one
The colored man had everything his
own way and would have easily
put Cavanaugh out If they had
fought TO finish, but the
fight was declared draw at the end Of
six rounds and purse Of a little more
than $50 was divided between the men.
There were about thirty Topeka sports
who witnessed the fight.
It was originally intended to have the
men meet tonight, and everything was
arranged accordingly, but the announce
ment in last nights JOURNAL that the
fight was to take place and calling the
attention Of the officials to the fact, WAS
the cause Of it being brought off last
night Both men said they were anxious
to get out of town, and the money will
enable them to do that
Two young cigarmakers had planned
a fight 10 come off within day or two.
but they have temporarily abandoned
the meeting until things quiet down."
as they express it,.
Everything il arranged for the biggest
fight of the season to take place on sun
day OF course County Attorney Stafford
is not expected to know anything about
any of these disgraceful violations OF the
law
Chief Lindsey can now put some OF
his men to work on last nights fight.
which took place in the shadow Of the
police station. If County Attorney SAT-
ford cant" perhaps CHIEF Lindsey can
be more successful in securing evidence
now that he has the opportunity. 1t is
idle to believe that the officers Of the
law don't know about these prize fights.
1t is just easy for them to ind out as
it is for the STATE JOURNAL The only
reason why they don't ferret out this out
tit is because they don't want to.

CIVIC FEDERATION.
The New Movement Appears in
Several Places.
Jersey City VIII Have a Vigi-

While Galesburg is Forming &
Civic Federation
Like the Big Organization in
Chicago.

New YORK. Sept 28.-The latest cler-
gyman to start moral crusade in Jer-
sey City is the Rev. James Parker of the
Second United Presbyterian church on
Hancock avenue. This gentleman pro-
poses to start society which is to be
modelled somewhat after the famous
Parkhurst society in New York.
The Rev. Mr.. Parker says, "The So
ciety Will be non-sectarian and non-par =
tisan. and under no circumstances will it
enter politics." The main object will be
to see that the laws in Hudson county
and especially those providing for
proper observance Of the Sabbath be OBJ
served The authorities are daily in
duced by powerful influences to close
their eyes to certain things. We viii
open their eyes and give them backbone.
"When the forces of vice are daily
brought TO bear on any official and no.
body opposes them, it is natural that he
should be swayed and give way to them.
n early all the ministers in the county
favor the society and will join it. All
laymen who are Interested in this move
ment will be welcomed. Our movement
may develop into one as grand as that of
which the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst is the
head :"

A SNEEZlNG BEE.
Red Pepper Was Thrown on a Hot Stove
With the Regulation Results.

Some one threw red pepper upon a
large stove in Tappen's billiard rooms
at Patchogue, N. Y. The pepper started
the habitues to sneezing, and they
sneezed loud and long. The odor of the
burning pepper soon drove everybody
from the room.
The fumes rapidly spread through the
building. The Order of Foresters was
holding meeting in the large hall on
an upper floor. The members began to
sneeze. They sneezed hard. The chap
lain of the society tried to maintain the
dignity of his position, but he, too, soon
joined in the sneezing bee.
The assembly marched down stairs
sneezing at every step. They were soon
joined on the street by lawyers, doctors,
editors, printers and business men, who
had been driven out or their rooms in
the building. The fumes were so strong
that passeTsby had to walk ON the oppo-

During the cholera scare in Vienna
some months ago rule was made for
bidding persons visiting restaurants to
squeeze small rolls on the tables to test
their freshness. One day an army cap
tain went to one table after another,
handling the bread before he selected a
roll. A master baker, also visitor,
spoke to him about 1t. The captain gave
naughty answer, waited for the baker
outside and stabbed him. The victim
died instantly.
The bakers death caused great
commotion. The funeral was attended
by many thousands and proved that the
peoples sympathies were with him.
Now the officer has been sentenced to
six months arrest in barracks, and he
will be permitted to keep his rank when
he has finished his term. One cannot
help wondering what the sentence might
have been had the baker stabbed the

A Great Question which Is Asitating the

Tho great question whether walters
ought to be tipped is just now agitating

than the fight with the lords over the
employers liability and parish councils
bills, of which, truth to tell, everybody
is getting bit tired. But the tip cues
ton affects the private pockets of tho
honorable members, and their interest
in 1t is consequently keen. 1t has al
ways been the rule in the commons that
the walters in the dining rooms should
not receive tips because living wages
are paid to them, but Of late years tip
ping has pretty generally prevailed.
and the men learned to expect tips as
much as though they were common cafe
walters A goodly proportion of the
members, however, refused to 'counte-
nance the system, with the result that
they have Of late found themselves neg
lected. Recently there have been so
many complaints that the kitchen com
mtttee solemnly appointed subcommit-
tee to inquire, and the result was the
issuing of an order prohibiting walters
from receiving tips and granting to
each waiter an increase of a shilling a
day. The walters calmly pocket the
shilling, hut continue to take the tips
whenever they get chance, and it has
become a question what shall be done
