CHIEF CROWLEY ALERT.

In spite of the support which the Solid
Eight of the Board of Supervisors are CIV
ing directly and indirectly to the down
town poolrooms Police Chief Crowley has
found way within the law to abate some
of the evils which these institutions prac-
tice. A study of the methods followed by
the poolrooms convinced him that the Ell
lert ordinance, which prohibits downtown
pool-selling, was being violated, and that
the claim of large number of poolrooms
to be doing strictly commission business
was not quite justified by their practices.
AS a consequence he has arrested a large
number of these pets OF the Solid Eight,
ana there is good reason to believe that
the law will be enforced against them.
The closing OF the more disreputable
dens of this stripe will abate nuisances and
dangers which result from their existence.
1t was bad enough that ladies could not
pass these gambling resorts without run
ming the risk of being insulted and jostled,
but worse than that was the open tempta-
ticn to theft and defalcation which these
deadfalls extended to mere children, clerks
and messenger-boys. No intelligent citi-
zen can visit these establishments and not
be shocked to see the hysterical eagerness
with which boys and weak young men
stake their money on the issues presented.
The evil is increased by the fact that some
of the poolrooms openly swindle their
guileless patrons.
Although Chief Crowley realizes that he
must proceed strictly within the law, the
latitude which he must thus exercise is
wide. He has the authority to minimize
the evils which the poolrooms represent
1t is clearly within his province to make it
safe for women to walk the streets of the
City and to drive boys out of dens of vice.
He may rest assured that every public Off
Ger who does his duty without fear of
boodlers and traitors who have the power
to harass him will have the sympathy and
support of those decent citizens who con-
stitute the backbone of the City. and who
know how to find a way for furnishing the
rogues and blackguards whom the infu-
ence of bosses has thrust into Office.

opening of a new opera-house built in the
mountains by successful miner who had sue

. "The musk-ox is now confined to the most
northern parts of the north," said Miss Lewis
at the Baldwin Hotel last night, as she ex-
hibited the strange and valuable skin. ''It is
now rarely met with west of the Mackenzie,
though formerly it was to be found as far west
as EschscholtZ Bay.
"Northward and eastward it extends as far
as the Parry Islands and Grinnell Land to North
Greenland. The polar expedition of 1869 met
some at Sabine Island. No trace of the musk
OK was found in Spitzbergen or Franz Joseph
Land.
"During the pliocene period the oxen ranged
in North Siberia and FOSSIL remains of it were
found with those of the mammoth. reindeer
and molly rhinoceros in the river deposits OF
Germany and France.

AN ANGELIC HUSBAND.

There are husbands who pretty,
There are husbands who witty
There husbands who i'll pu bic are as smlilng
the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-well he's never yet
been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really devoted
That whene'er their wives absent they are lone
some and forlorn;
And now and then you'll find one
Who's a fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband-Oh, he's never yet
been born.
So the woman who is mated
To a man who is rated
AS .sprety fair should cherish him forever and
day;
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite in every feature
He has never been discovered, and he won't be, so
they say.

STORM CLOUDS
Gather AT the Call of This Indian
RainmaISer.

Gather AT the Call of This Indian
RainmaISer.
The last three days have witnessed
at Red Rock, thirty miles north of
this place, a series of the most re-
markable exhibitions of savage. hos
pitality between distinctive. Indian
tribes that have ever been known, in
border history, says the Guthrie 90.
I'd correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune. For several weeks past
Nezuma, an Otoe medicine man, re-
vered by his tribe because of his
divinat lions, Interpretations of dreams
and other magical performances, has
essayed to bring water from the
clouds, and he has played in wonder
full luck.
Previous to the beginning of his
mysterious rites the country had but
. little rain, and crop failure seemed
inevitable. No sooner had Nezuma
called the people together and begun
his strange chant to the Great Spirit
that the storm clouds gathered and
Oklahoma enjoyed a phenomenal
rain. At every subsequent repeti-
ton of the magician's weird rain
song copious and continued rains
have fallen, until the fame of the
lucky medicine man has spread far
beyond the limits of the tribe. He
has become the idol of the OtoeS, re-
ceiving every favor at their hands,
while Indians from other tribes
have made pilgrimages to his lodge
with gifts and tokens.
