Gees After Club Houses,

As to gambling the Chief says:
 That crap-shooting and poker play ing is indulged In, in our midst can not be denied, and under the semblance of a charter. poker playing is indulged in. in some of the club houses ofsthe city, but no full fiedged gambling house with paraphernalia of roulette, faro, keno. hazard, rouge ct noir or what is known as banking games. exist. Crap shoot ing, stud poker and jack. pot, when played is generally done on second OF third floor localities where 1t is almost impossible to secure evidence to con- vict. The sporting fraternity is com posed of almost entirely local talent with an occasional drop in from neigh boring cities. Several resorts have been raided and the inmates or players convicted and fined. Indictments have been found against the keepers for ex- hibiting gaming tables, which under the law is a felony. Tn some instances the parties charged have been acquitted by jury. in others they have been allowed to enter a plea of guilty to gaming which is a misdemeanor and pay 8 fine. In all these cases bound over the proof was positive and ample to secure conviction. No conviction for offenses of this kind has ever been pro- cured from q Montgomery County jury in the City Court of Montgomery, with but one exception and that many years ago upon plea of guilty. Comment upon the above is unnecessary"
 In hts report the Chief urges that his force be increased by the addition of another captain of police and twenty patrolmen.

CHIEF GERALD HAS A REMEDY
 ----t--.- Suggestions as to Sunday
 Violations. PLAIN TALK FOR COUNCIL Would Separate Saloons from
 Other Business. Makes Interesting statsment as ts Gamblins and Takes . FIins at
 Clashouses--wants amether Captain.

The open saloon exists in Montgom- cry on Sunday. The Sunday closing law Is willfully violated by every sa- loon man in the city, with few ex- captions.
 Police Chief Gerald says this in his annual report to Mayor Thomas H. Carr. In the language of the street the chief of police puts 1t up to the council to stop the violation of the law and to close the saloons on Sun. days. He says that 1t is impossible to do this with the present Sunday laws. He tells the mayor that if the council wants to do 1t, 1t can stop Sunday vio- lations In Montgomery.
 He says 1t can be stopped in Mont gomery as 1t has been stopped in Bir- mtngham. Memphis and Atlanta. The way to stop it, he says, is to divorce the saloon from every other form of business. especially the business of running a restaurant in connection with a saloon.

 KANSAS CIrY, Mo-, Saturday Nov, , 1904. There has been a decided improvement in the cattle market since Monday Last week closed badly, and as 19,000 cattle came in Monday, it looked like there was nothing bright ahead for this week. But receipts drop ped off after Tuesday, and the total for the week is only 65,000 head, 10000 less than last week. Prices have, in consequence gained 10 to 20 cents all around, and the feel ing is better. Top beef steers this week $6.10, but nothing very toppy has been here. Good hard fat grass steers bring $3.75 to $4.75. These grass cattle are killing bet ter now than they have done before since they began coming this year. Grass COWS have sold at $2.25 to S3.50, and a few fancy corn fed heifers sold early this week at $5.l5, about as good as steers for the packers. Gamers have inn proved their position last few days. Nice light veals are firm, up to S5.75, but heavy ones and stock calves are dull. Stockers and feed- CTS are steady, good ones strong, but few sales are above $3.65, and desirable stuff is secured at $2.75 to $3.50. General sentiment, how ever ever, faavvefrs ffaavvefrs better prices for all kinds of cattle in the near future, aud a good market is looked for next week.
 Hog market has been cratic, and although it's course is down. ward packers are not having it all their own way One or two re- coveries in the price take place every week, and to the top at the close of the week is around $5.15. a little above the low time. Bulk of sales range from $4.75 to $5.05, and medium weight hogs sell from $4.85 to $5.05, heavy ones S500 to $515.
 Sheep and lamb prices continue firm on all kinds. More of the stuff was suitable for packers than usual this week, an adjustment which kept all prices about steady Best lambs now bring $5.50 to $5.- $, wethers $400 to $4.25, ewes $3.75 to $4.00. Country kinds ol wethers and yearlings still sell at S3.35 to S3.65, lambs $4.00 to $4.. 25, ewes s2.50 to $3.50.

cOLCRED ELDER SAYS ETHO.
PLANS WERE PROMINENT IN
THE OLD DAYS.
Seattle Preacher Bases His Assertions
on Data Taken From the
Good Book.

Now comes a cOlOred elder with data
from the Bible and arguments to prove
that the prOgenitOrs Of the rovaI tribe
of Judah had a strain of Ethiopian
blood in their veins. He is J. Nj. Webb
of Seattle, and he advances his conten-
ton as a reprOof to the whites for
their refusal to amalgamate with the
blacks. Mr. Webb is in Minneapolis
today and will speak on his subject
Wednesday evening at the Bethesda
Baptist church (colored).
The facts which the elder contrib
utes, he says, We're cleaned from Holy
of the scriptural prophecies and po-
tentates We're descended indirectly from
Ham.
In his lecture Wednesday the elder
will show to nis satisfaction that Bibli-
cal history proves the negro to have
been the most honored man of the
earth. He will defend the proposition
that the intermixing Of the white and
black races is as old as the human
family and that no man made law will
ever keep the two races from ANAL
gamating. Says Elder Webb:
Il speak Of the intermiXing of the
races because such efforts are being
made at present to keep the two races
apart in churches, schools, restaurants,
! hotels. cars and everywhere excepting
heaven and hell; and many white peo-
! pie are opposed to us being together
