has long slnco lost its festive power in
condoning the exploits ot the band of
young bravos who infest this othonviso

fifty of them , ranging in ago from six to
slxteon , und never hosltato nt the car
rying out of miy plot however during in

ance to the residents or strllco terror to
the hearts of passers by Their plans
never contompluto any of those boyish
thicks that have boon perpetrated by
the lads of thoh * ngo frotq the beginning
of time
These boys are progressive They
have put away childish things and stop
nt nothing short of absolute persecution
of the subjects ot their attention
A short time ago , a marble dealer on
a strcot in this section incurred the dis
pleasure of the lads und they resorted
to nil manner of tricks'tb got cvon"
with him The tombstones In his yard
wore overturned at ttl ht nnd so vera I
viiluablo monuments were badly dum-
ugod The marble inu.ii was finally
compelled to resort totho "Bhotguh
polluy" and keep iv nightly guard upon
liis generally suppobod lii 'dostructablo

Tlio boys then formed a r'whito cap
organization and , ono bright Sabbath

ized A few days ago two youths who ,
in some man nor , incurred the enmity
of the young rogues at the Long strcot
school were suinmurily dealt with The
scourges took the offending lads and
ftllod their eyes and mouths with rod
popper , which they previously pilfered
from a neighboring grocery The effect
was astonishingly satisfactory to the
young barbarians The victims sot up
a scream that broke up the session of
the school and culled the teacher to
tlioir rescue She , with the best intent ,
did Cho worst tltintr possible under the
circumstances , and gave the boys faces
n thorough scouring with cold water
This only aggravntod the mischief that
hud boon done and the boys almost died
from pain nnd fright The perpetrators
of this barbarous practical joke , by
some means , went unpunished
The cable men ate special objects of
attention from members of the gang
It is the custom of the boys , as a cable
car approaches at night , to run down
the walks whistling and calling for the
car to stop If the gripman obeys the
signal ho is greeted , about the time his
train is stopped , with a lauzli"of de
rision , ns the boy giving the call dlBap-
pears In a convenient alloy This
nuisance has been carried to such an
extent that the cable man pay no atten
tion to whistlu signals in that part of
the oity uftor night , nnd many a citizen
who has run u block to catch a car hus
acquired habits of profanity ftoin hav
ing no attention paid to his calls for u
halt
halt.A
A few days ago n train on North
Twentieth strcot was stopped for what
was supposed to bo a stranuod rope An
examination of the cable revealed the
fact that the supposed strnnd in the
rope was nothing but a piece of clothes
line about a yard in length , which someone
ono of the triiriLr had dropped through
the slot und wrapped round , the cable
bynsivinging motion , ono end of the
rope having boon frayed out for the
purpose
Tlio street car drivers on North
Eighteenth Btroet count themselves
ospocltilly fortunate If they make the
run from Nicholas to Lake street uftor
9 o'clock at night without having encountered -
countered any wheelbarrows or empty
tar barrels on the tracks The asphalt
paving contractors on North Seven
teenth street loft a largo number of
empty tar barrels In a vucaut lot near
Oharlos street and those are utilized by
the boys for every purpose from build
ing bonfires to the alarm of the neigh
bors and danger to their property to
throwing them through the basement
windows of houses occupied by one
mles" of the gang
District ; iuid telegraph messenger

they run a risk in doing night service
that takes them into the terri
tory of the North Omaha White

the deviltry has boon charged , right

It remained for n llttlo Swede raesson-
roi' boy on the Western Union force to

egy "I'etoy , " as the boy is culled , had
a mosbiigo for a gontlomnn In Kaunlzo

It may bo stated that the boys who
compose this coterie of trickslors , are
not responsible for all of the crimes
charged to their account , but the circumstances -
cumstancos are bo strongly against them
that the chief of police has deemed it
necessary to put a policeman on duty In
