Arrayed against ex-Chief White are the gang of gamblers and their satellites who were Interested In pushing the boodle gambling bill through the last legislature , if" a group of politicians eager to Uho the f pollco foi co for political purposes , the keepers of lawless resorts , who fear that his appointment would tremlnato the li cense they have been enjoying and cut oft < lurlug the exposition year the plunder which a free and ca y regime would bring them. To head oft the success of Mr. White , this coterie of schemers ha ? resorted to all sorts of devices and brought forth a succession of opposing candidates upon whom they have tried to get the police commissioners to center and who might bo depended on to do their bidding , or at least play into their hands. Their flrat choice for chief was Charley Fanning , whoso boom was carefully worked up just previous to the municipal election , but struck a snag when the plot was exposed In The lice. Since then tlio gang has ap parently shifted from one candidate to an other to Htavo off thu appointment of any ono not In with them , although they seem to have decided upon Donnolla parly In the season. Ono of the early favorites was George Tlernoy , n genial collector for a local brew- cry. Hut there noser was any Intention to make Tlorncy chief , ho being used only to spar for wind and gain time. If they could not do better the plotttrs weie willing to retain Chief Slgwurt , bccauoe they were prospering fairly well under his regime. The demand for a change was , however , too loud. They tried to Induce ex-Captain Monyn , Whlto's partner In the Whlte-Mostyu de tective agency , to become a candidate for the place In the hope of dividing the prac tically unanimous suppoit which the Irish people of the city are giving White. FailIng - Ing in this , Fanning was again hi ought for ward as a possibility , nnd then the place was offered to Jim Dahlman , chairman of the democratic state committee. Two or three others have been mentioned In between , among them Louis Uochme , ex-deputy United Statro marshal , nnd Charles Tracy , proprie tor of a local cigar stoio , who were told they stood good chances while being knifed In the rear. All of these i-ccm now to have been dropped for Schuyler A. Oonnella , one of the secret service detectives , with whom the wlro pullers and echcmers hope to achieve their purpose. HRSOUT TO 1100RHACKS. The putting up and boosting of competing candidates , however , has not been the only methods employed against Whlto , To coun teract White's strong pctltloua and creden tials and alienate hU friends nnd hupporteia all manner of tricks and misrepresentation have been resorted to , All sorts of stories have been set afloat to cast odium upon him ntid to lower him In the estimation of the niombeiH of the police conimljslon. During the trial nf Bartloy , for example , when the case of attempted Jury fixing was unearthed and a jury llxer sent to Jail , the tale was concocted and carefully circulated that ex- Chief Whlto had been employed by Hartley to look after his Interests with the jury , am ] that If the truth could bo got at It would bo found that he was connected In some way In the attempt to frustrate justice In the Hartley case. When run down tlito elanderoui story was found to have em ) , n a ted from sources cleso to the men who formerly ran the Diamond gambling estab lishment , and Its absolute lack ot foundation ! clearly proved. The desperation to which the conspirators have been driven and the disreputable tac tics of the men whom they are omploylns In their work , stand out most flagrantly In the latest libels which they have set afoot to undermine ex-Chief While's reputation. For eorao tlmo It has been whispered around that ex-Chief Whlto lmt > been , trying to pro mote his candidacy for chief of police by putting up all the recent burglaries and lioId'Upet by which the town has been ter rorized. ThU dodgu ban taken tangible form within the pa t few days , when It has been glve-ii out fully elaborated In all Its details by ex-Judgo Charles Ogden , who l well Xnown as HID guide , philosopher and friend of the proprietors of the late Diamond gambling establishment , the attorney for tha local brewers , association , and legal adviser for various people who want a return - turn to the discarded wide-open town. A * confidentially told by < Mr. Ogdeu , ex- Chief White Is responsible for the Importa tion of nil the professional crooks who have been attracted hero by the notorious Ineffi ciency of our police. White , ho says , has done this so that the people who have been robbed will rise up. and insist upon the mak ing of a now chief and exert their Influence on the pollco commissioners in Ills behalf. According to ox-Judgo Ogdcn , Whlto seems to have begun his campaign a year ago when the Klrkemlall robbery was perpetrated , and some of the booty recovered through the Whlto-Mostyn detective agency. This prop erty was recovered after the local police had given up all efforts to locate it , and therefore Whlto must have known where It was and had a hand in the job in order that his do- tectlvo agency could be retained to get It back. The theft months ago of the diamond belonging to Sol Hopper , which was recov ered by the same agency , Is also explained in the same way. The hold-up of Mayor Moores on the steps of his residence a few nights after his elec tion Is pointed out as confirmatory of this tale. And the more recent assault by high waymen upon John A. Crelghton In the front yard of his residence is held up as a clincher from which there Is no escape. Mr. Crelgh ton is ono of Mr. White's friends and ardent supporters , yet , so ex-Jndgo Ogdcn asserts , White procured the highwaymen to beat him almost Into insensibility and rob him and Mr. Schenck. to keep him active In his sup port. Special care has been exercised to pick out as victims only the most prominent people of the city In order to work up a sen timent against the present Inefficient police and for cx-Chlet White , and the suggestion ventured by Mr. Ogden that the editor of Tin Bee Is marked for the next sensational hold-up by the Imported footpads. Rx-Judgo Ogden has been careful to give out these outrageous libels conlldcntlally , but first making sure that they would reach par ties supposed to have Influence with members of the pollco commission , it not to tha com missioners themselves. That they are pre posterous fabrications and a part of the boodle gang's plot to entrench themselves In control of the police department Is too transparent to deceive ny Intelligent person. b.tTIS POI.ICH NOTES.

Delttrlck Is at present at Chau- tauqua conducting a series of performances such as are given by his Musical-Literary clubs , and the writer has had considerable conversation with him regarding a conven tion of the. clubs , to be hold in Omaha at some time during the exposition. Mr. Dolttrlck to a real western hustler , nnd flncJs It quite to his taste to keep everybody else hustling as thu musical department at ChautaiKiua has every reason to know. About thrco ycms ngo ho conceived the Idea of forming organizations which should have for their object the musical education of the masses of the people , not so much as performers as listeners. His own exporl- enco had taught him that books are almost Impotent to put the concert-goer upon such n foundation as will unable him to know what to look for In a composition , and what it means as a mccsago from the composer. Ho found that ho must get nearer to the people than Is possible through a hook , and furthermore- , that the people muat bo Incited to educate themselves and to exert them selves to that end. So ho determined to create a school , of which the greatest writers on music should ho the head teach ers and thu pupils themselves their assist ants. With this object In view ho employed men to write essa > , which ho grouped under four heads , as follows : K.ssays on musical history , character sketch of composers' personalities , descriptive and poetic anulybca explaining the poetical and umotlonul sie- nlllcanco of music , essays on general eub- jDcts such as "The Piano as an Art Medium , " "Musical Criticism. " At the present tlmo thirty composers have been thus "written up" by twenty-six writers , and over 500 compositions have been analyzed , Mr. Delt trlck has spent $23,000 for thrwe essays. Ono of the first clubs waa organized at Louis ville , Ky. There are In Iowa twenty-five clubs , In Missouri about thirty , In Kansas ten. Nebraska Is not yet organized , but will bo during the coming season. In all thcfo are 400 clubs and over 10,000 mem bers. bers.U U will be porslble , Mr. Delttrlck thinks , to concentrate In Omaha at least 7,000 of thcNo member * for a grand convention , which shall continue for three or four days , { In most Important feature would be the pres entation of numerous programs and the reading of fie analyses of numbers as they have been prepared for the use of the clubs. Some of the most Interesting musical performances In the history ot Ouuba could thus be provided , and thousands of visitors brought to the city and to the exposition. With a well organized musical departm nt s a great feature of the exposition Itself , cousrcfiafB and conventions of mualclant. and musical organizations could bo arranged that would put money in the treasury of the cxpoiitlon and give It a place a an art educator which no other exposition In this country hay ever occupied.

The Chauinuqun Assembly Herald foi Tuesday , July 20. contained the following notice of the "WnRtior Evening , " conducted bv Homer Moore of Omaha : "Homer Moore gave on Saturday night , July 17 , an Interesting Iccturo upon Ulchtird Wagner and his music. Mr. Mooro's aim was to present a brief history of the man and his art work nnd then to briefly consider the thetno of each of his great music dram and to Illustrate Wagner's theories of musical art by selections from hl operas , The Intention was to show how Wagner's Rctilus was affectrd at first by Meyerbeer nnd other modern composers and In a ser.su wcs modified In Its style by their woik and liy the traditions ot their school In music. Mr. Moore then showed how Wagner dually brnko away from the forms and limitations and developed In his later works his own Ideas nud theories. To Illustrate this Mr. Flngler played on the otgan the overturn to 'lllenzl , ' this being an Illustration of Wagner's fl'st and tr.idltlon colored style. To show how his peculiar views expressed Itself In his later works a number of selec tions were given from 'Tannlnuser , ' 'Lohen grin , ' 'Tristan and Isolde1 and Mlo Melster- slnger , ' These selections were admirably given by Wlllllnm H. Sherwood on the piano , nnd In the vocal numbers by Mine. Klo.inor Meredith , Miss Zora Horlocker , Harry J. Fellows , Mr. Ross nnd Mr. Mooro. Mrs. Harry Wheeler and Henry II , Vincent alao assisted at the piano. At the conclusion of the lecture Mr. Moore showed n number of pictures Illustrating scenes fiom Wngncr's operas. "Of all the singers on the Chnutauqua Vint form Homer Moore , baritone , may lay tbo most undisputed claim to being an old Chautanquan , having attended In whole erIn In cart all but two of the twenty-four assem blies. Ho has a pure baritone \olce , and his singing to artistic and dramatic. " Of the nme performance a very extended notice appeared In the Jamestown Dally Journal , a part ot which Is as follows : "In the evening In the amphitheater Homer Moore gave a Wagner evening before one of the largest audiences of the sea.'on. Mr. Moore has studied Wagnerlan music at home nnd abroid. and has h's ' subject well In hand. HI * program won partlrultilyM11 chosen and presented a great variety of the moods ot the composer , lllu.Hratliig th com poser's progreB to matuilty nnd his later and best works. The irsult of the 'evening' Is increase.d knowledge and Interetit in the works of Wagner. Mr. Moore Is not only a lecturer , but a ulngcr EO well , pcsscadng n baritone voice of large coiiipaw nnd power. Ho Is especially foiCaful in the dramatic. "The jiiustcal program was cloced with the quintet from Die Mclsterslnger , sung by Mme. Meredith , Ml'H Horlocker and Messrs. Fellowi ? , Hei.3 and Moore. Thte dramatic number was followed with the display of 112 stereoptlcon views nude for the lecturer In Munich and Vienna , which showed the scenes from the op ras as they are given on the stage , and as they have been Idoall/cd by the court painters of Europe. Mr. Mooio IUB one of the Jlnc't collections of Wagnerlan vlewij extant , and to lib clear way of speak ing as well as to the falthfulnrs-i ot tlio views ChauUiuquins owe a widened knowl edge of Wagner and his operas.
