TIRED OF THE GAMBLING.
West indianapolis VIII Have n Board
of Police commissioners.

The ordinance providing for the creation
of a board of police commissioners came up
for a third reading at the meeting of the
West Indianapolis Council last night. The
ordinance was adopted, but was not en-
crossed. 1t passed by a vote of three to two,
the Democratic members of the body voting
against it. Mayor Tolin was not present,
and Councilman Wheeler occupied the chair.
Although a stanch advocate of the police
ordinance, Councilman Wheeler neglected to
vote on it, and Councilman Dickson raised
the question of the constitutionality of the
vote. He contended that. as there were six
members of the Council present, it would
require four votes to enact the amendment.
Attorney Stevenson looked up the question,
and on his advice Councilman Mccain
moved for a reconsideration of the vote.
The police ordinance will come UP at the
next meeting, and the Republican members
of the Council say that it will certainly go
through. The ordinance provices for the Sc
will constitute a board with power to APP
point all of the deputies to the city marshal.
The Republican members of the Council say
that this step is necessary. They have
grown Disguised at the open and hraZen
manner in which the suburb has been in
vaded by gamblers, and have despaired of
enforcing the laws. Mayor Tolin has not at
tended a meeting of the Council for three
weeks.
The Council provided for the construction
of the following Sidewalks: East and west
side OF Division street, from Oliver avenue
to WOODBURY. avenue; east side of Division
street, from River avenue to Woodburn ave-
nue.; east and west side of Warren avenue,
from Warren to WOODBURY. avenue; west
side of Marion avenue, from Oliver to
WOODBURY. avenue: south side of Birch ave-
nue., from Oliver to Marion avenue; north
side of Birch avenue. from Oliver avenue to
Cottage avenue; east side of River avenue,
from Oliver avenue to Morris street. The
city engineer was instructed to- prepare
specifications for these improvements. TIL
new sidewalks are to be constructed of the
best quality of cement. The committee on
safety and comfort asked that the water
company be instructed to locate fire hy-
drants at designated points. The Council
voted to accept the Sells plat, over which
there has been contention for several years.
The body also accepted the report of the
majority recommending that the city COM
missioners inspect Lambert street with a
view TO opening the thoroughfare.
City Treasurer Hoss was instructed to
take up the three notes held by Fletcner's
Bank, amounting TO S~5,613.32.

PA Is WAITING FOR HIM.
A Small Urchin Starts "a Comical Pro-
cession AmoyinE.

An unusual incident happened at the
evening shortly before s o'clock. The street
was filed with people and everybody stopped
to witness the strange sight of five per-
sons running in single file through the
streets. A small boy, probably twelve
years old, led the procession. He had his
hat in his hand and was running for all
he was worth. Behind him a few yards
came a girl, probably fourteen years old.
She had lost her hat and her hair was flying.
She cried "stop" and waved her arms
frantieally. Behind the girl came a woman,
who had an old shawl about her head and
shoulders. She was but a short distance
behind the girl. Hanging to the woman's
skirts was a small boy who was crying
at the top of his voice. Behind all there
was another boy whose legs were too short
to carry him the pace set by the others.
1t seemed as if the object of the chase was
the boy in the lead. Some thought that
perhaps he had stolen the poor woman's
several times. The girl finally ran him
down and she and the woman seized him,
one at either arm. A crowd of sympathetic
pedestrians gathered around the group and
Inquired what was the matter. The woman
cried and sobbed and said for the benefit
of those who were curious;
That boy has the devil in him. He run
away from home two or three days ago and
we came out to find him and to think he
was playing in the gutter She and the
girl frightened their grasp on the boys wrist
and led him away. The small urchin that
trotted along behind gIoatingly remarked to
the young prisoner:
PA won't do a thing to you"

San Erancisca.s Populist saloon.

san FRANCISCO, March ia temper
ance saloon has been started here. 1t
antedated the venture of Bishop Fellows,
of Chicago, but, being a wholly private en-
terpriSe, was not heralded. Alcoholic
drinks were formerly dispensed from its
bar, which has still the appearance of a
regulation saloon for well-to-do patrons.
Nothing but soft drinks are served. Pool
and billiard tables, cards, chess, papers,
magazines and standard authors in cheap
editions constitute part of this saloon fur-
nishings- The presiding genius of the es-
Establishment is the wife of the proprietor,
a vivacious blonde. The saloon is called
''The Populist," and is a depot for the pro-
paganda of that party incidentally and the
new in political economy generally.

ploye was put to work at enrolling bills,
and in this rush, two of the pages, Smythe

pages had not yet finished their takes"
while the clerks had, and there were no
more bills TO be enrolled. Mr.. Oglesbee
says these boys did as good work as could
