GAMBLE RS PULLED
Sheriff Heider and Deputies Raid
Poker Room Saturday
Evening.
FIVE MEN CAUGHT AND FINED
Officers Acted Upon Information
Filed With States AttOr-
ney Weld.

Sheriff Heider, accompanied by a
force of deputies, about 1890 Satur-
day evening raided poker game
that was being conducted quietly in
the rear of Wheelan's barroom on
Seventeenth street. Five men were
found gathered about the board and
all were taken to the Jail, where an
immediate hearing was given and
they paid fines of $40 and costs for
gambling.
The raid was made in accordance
with information furnished States
Attorney Weld, who determined rs
act Immediately and catch the plays
ers red-handed rather than wait foe
the slow and uncertain process via
the grand jury route.
Caught In Act
The sheriff waited till late to make
sure that the game should be under
full Roadway. Entering the saloon
from the front he found the door to
the rear room locked. but having a
key he turned the lock and marched in
before the players had an opportuni-
ty to hide the evidences of their guilt
No resistance was offered, however,
and when the five were taken to the
county Jail, where Justice McFarlane
was ready to hold court, all were
ready to plead guilty.
All received the same fine as they
insisted that they were playing as
members of Il club and neither had
charge of the game. The fine and
costs of each amounted to $16.55.
The men gave their names as Harry
Davis, Clarence Smith, John johnson,
Frank Furmen and Irwin Noble.
Raids VIII be Effective.
The new tack that has been taken
by States Attorney Weld is looked
upon with apprehension by the gam
blers of the city and their friends.
Since the grand jury found so many
indictments against alleged gamblers
there has been "A general suspension
of operations, but with the failure on
the. part of the state to secure COM
vieti0n in number of cases menu
bersi0f the fraternity took heart and
there is{no doubt that general prep
arations have been made for aure-
of the former activity. If
the officers now adopt the policy of
raiding suspected joints il is very
likely that some of the gamesters
will find it convenient to change their
headquarters to some other city.

TALES OF THEATRE

Among the attractions billed for
presentation at the Illinois is the
'Moonshiner's Daughter" which will
be presented this evening. This play
is recognized as one of the best meIo-
dramas now on the road and has been
playing to great business in houses
all over the country. THE Moon
sinners Daughter is a realistic pre-
or locating and destroying illicit
stills by the revenue men in the noun
tain districts of Kentucky and Ten
nessee. 1t contains story of noble
herOism, recital of brave deeds and
an exhibition of reckless courage and
cool nerve. A melodramatic love
story prevails throughout and is so
cleverly combined with the sensation
al features that truly dramatic sue
cess has resulted. There are five acts
and eight scenes, and each is equip
ped with a special scenic environ
ment. Plenty of fun which furnishes
many hearty laughs. Specialties
throughout, portrayed by a cast that
have won distinction heretofore III
other prominent productions.
One act in "a Little Outcast," which
will be seen at the Illinois, Sunday
April 10, requires 60 feet car to
hold this one set scene alone. The
stage is cleared of every bit of seen
cry to make room for this gigantic
setting. and when the curtain rises
one of the finest stage pictures ever
attempted is seen-a beautiful scene
of New York harbor. The tall tower
like edifices and the great dome of
the World building, which are visible
from the Battery, are brilliant with
hundreds of lights and stand out
againts the night sky in a golden
glory. The fire which leaps out from
the great buildings along the dock
taxed the skill of the Electricians to
perfect it, and the result of their work
is so effective that it is difficult to be-
lieve that one is not in the presence
of the real thing, and as spectacu-
lar feature it is unrivaled.

The game between the Cubs" the
Chicago National league team, and
the Davenport Three-Eye league
team at the Rock Island Twelfth
street park Saturday afternoon re-
suited in victory of Z. to 0 for Sc
lees men and incidentally revealed
the fact that Davenport has some
promising material at hand for the
start of the season. The Chicago
players had the advantage of the SER
les of games which they have been
playing during their long training
trip, while for Davenport it was prac-
ticalIy the first time the men have
been together. The men from the
metropolis found the Davenport
twirlers freely for 10 hits, bat Daven-
port only managed to scratch twice.

and justice before the law. There are
many such. They may be found IN
every southern community and In
many northern communities. The
number, too, is everywhere increasing.
The assertion that the Negro as a rule
is going backward is incorrect. Sta
tistics disproVe it. He is going for
ward, and at gratifying speed when his
antecedents and opportunities are duly
weighed.
CD An ignorant suffrage is a
dangerous suffrage. But this is true OF
the white man as of the black man.
There should therefore no discrimin-
alton on that score against the black
man. Moreover, the Constitution of
the United States forbids such thing.
The criticism of those southern states
which have recently adopted new con-
stitutions is that they have sought
mainly Democratic majoritieS and not
an educated suffrage. They have left
unmolested a large number of ignor-
ant white men, who, indeed, were call
ed in at the polls to help diSfranchlSe
ignorant black men.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL

The resolutions adopted at Louis
Vile, by the Afro-American Council,
are worthy of the respectful considera-
ton of the whole country. They deal
in temperate terms with topics that
concern the white man quite as much
as the black, and the views presented
are sound and praiseworthy. 1t is
not too much to say, indeed, that to the
extent that they enter into the solu-
ton of the problems discussed will
those problems be solved to the public
advantage
Cd Mob law directed in so many
instances against the Negro, is abso-
lutely impartial in it's demoraliZing g
consequences Respect for order and
authority is blunted on every hand.
The greater the fury of the mob the
greater the injury to the community
where that fury is exhibited. To fam
iliarize any people with fiendish forms
of punishment and revenge is to do
them infinite harm. The mob spirit
grows with toleration of it.
CD No race should be judged by
Its criminal class. The Negro race is
too often so judged, and as SO judged
condemned. For the Negro criminal,
not because he is a Negro, but because
he is a criminal, punishment is, and
should be, certain. But for the Negro
who is orderly and industrious and
law-abiding, there should be respect

OUR CAPITAL.

Washington City, the Capital OF the
Nation, the Capital of the greatest re-
public in the world, is noted for many
things. General Grant said it was the
most beautiful city in the world, and
yet Jim Grow railway cars and street
railways run into the city within
stones throw of the Capitol and of the
White House. Newspaper syndicate
articles say that there is more culture
and intelligence among the colOred
people in Washington than there is in
any city in America, and yet the col
ored people, one hundred thousand
strong, have no bank, no clothing
stores, are not engaged in business in
any way to any perceptible extent.
The Washington school system takes
high ranks in the galaxy of the schools
of the States. and yet the colored girls
and boys who graduate are without
employment. Great business concerns,
the dry goods, the clothing stores, the
millinery stores, the shoe stores, the
hat stores, and, all stores as to that
matter will not employ the best look
ing nor the brightest young man or
woman except in the most menial ca
