The police are making it lively for the
young thieves about town. Yesterday they
had lively chase after two boys who had
stolen horse blanket, but they might as
well have attempted to catch two weasels
The boys dropped the blanket when closely
pressed in the lower end of town. and final
ly escaped 10 some of the mysterious by
ways in the suburbs. Gazette boy,
And do you call that making it lively
for the young thieves about town." We
should call it making fun of the police |!
1.-THE boys dropped the blanket and es-
capped in some of the mysterious by-ways
in the suburbsp That's too funny for
anything. The cops" couldn't even keep
in sight of the boys, and gave it up. The
Gazette boy probably felt grateful for be-
ing allowed to use the Marshal's office for
his headquarters, and wanted to puff the
police in return. The police may we'll ask
to be saved from any more such notices as
this one about the blankets.
The fact is that we have rarely had a
more inefficient police force than during the
past year. There are two men on the force
who are active aud wide awake, aud not
unwilling to move quick if necessary, and
pitch in and take the responsibility. But
the average Rock Island policeman, for
this year, don't like double quick gait;
don't want to arrest anybody without a
warrant, and when he gets one carries it 10
his pocket as long as he pleases, and some
times neither serves 1t or returns ii. Bur-
glary and sneak-thieving have never been
so prevalent in Rock Island as during the
past year, nor the dangerous classes been
in so little fear of the law. Making il
lively for the young thieves about town p
says the Gazette boy, Why, the only pow.
er these young scamps fear is the power Of
the press, They care nothing for the DO.

Mr.. Allen assures his creditors that he
will use the last acre of his estate to pay
his Just debts. Il is now known that the
man who brought that mortage here to be
fled was on the train on which Mr.. Allen
came from Chicago, in his company that
he filed the mortgage, went on the next
train east to Newton, filed it there, and
then notified Mr.. Allen that he was
en- route to this city and to meet him
at the depot. which Mr.. Allen did, escort
| ing him to the hotel, supposing him to
com zflirect from New York with impor-
tant messages. 1t was not till legal steps
were taken to recover possession of the
mortage that the duulicity was discovered
and the mortgage found in possession of
this man.

cago.
On Saturday last Hon. B. G. Caul6eld
(Democrat) was elected to congress in the
First congressional district in this state,
(Chicago) in place of Rice, Republican,
deceased. The vote was small, there
being about 5000 votes cast for Garfield
little over 200 for Vallette, Republican
and some $50 tor Eddy, Independent. -
Caulfield's majority is about 2,5OO-a walk
over.
1t will be recolected that Mr. Caulfeld
was elected last fall, for the next congress,
but his service from now to March next will
give him a chance to get the hang of the
school house" before the next congress
meets. Mr. Caulfeld is an able. upright
and active man, and we look for him to
take prominent position in the next con
gress.

The Rotten Peoria Ry. to have Re-
ceiver.

SC4NCEs
Some weeks ago it was announced in
these columns that an application had been
made by c. NJ. Osborn, ESQ.,, of this city,
in behalf of certain bondholders, for the
appointment of Receiver for the rotten
Peoria & Rock Island Railway. The case
was heard last week, and the Inter- Ocean
of Saturday has the following in regard to
it, viz:
1.-THE motion for Receiver for the Peo-
ria 4 Rock Island Railway Company was
argued before Judge Drummond yesterday
in the case of V. G.. Thomas ct al. VS.. the
company tits understood that G. NJ Os-
born for the complainant and Colonel In
gersoll for the railroad agreed on gentle
man to fill the position, and that the ap-
pointment will be made public in day or
two"
The Tribune of Saturday morning says
San order was drawn up yesterday, un-
der Judge Drummond's direction, for the
appointment of Receiver of the Peoria &
Rock Island Railway, against whom bill
was filed some time ago to foreclose mort.
gage. The Receiver has not yet been
named, but John r. Hilliard, the present
superintendent of the road, has been sug-
gested, and he will probably be appointed,
as all parties are satisfied with him. The
appointment will probably be made to-
day"
