A GOOD deal of feeling has been mani
tested at times over the system OF double
convictions and double punishments Of
petty offences which prevails in this and
other cities Of the State, and which a
Council committee declared the other even
ing could only be remedied by an act of the
legislature. Under the existing system q
case OF drunken disorder is frequently
punished in the police court and the sub
iect having settled with the city, is run
into Justices office and mulcted a Sec
Ond time for the same offence. Or, revers-
ing the method, the defendant having
bnen fayed by the county iusticiary, is
eviscerated by the city tribunal. That
this works hardship in good many cases
is not doubted. We are in constant
receipt OF complaints concerning it,
coupled with enquiries as to how it may
be remedied. There are several plans
that suggest themselves, but most of them
involve more. expense and difficulty than
the occasion will warrant.
About the cheapest and best remedy for
those liable, would be to keep sober and
out o. difficulties. A continued course Of
this procedure can he relied upon to beat
any double game Of the kind referred to.

the most enterprising little oil city in the

men were prudent enough to insure their
property against the fire which has proven
so disastrous, and will have something to
begin with in the rebuilding of the

characterized the old town, will'be left

THE MILK UTES AND THEIR
AGENTS..

The news of the butchery Of Maj.
Thornburgh and thirteen brave comrades
by the Milk River Utes, reached US several
days ago. Why the handful of troops was,
dispatched to that distant region, is OK
planned thus. 4 bad feeling has existed
between the Indians of the White River
agency and their agent, Meeker, for months
past, and the only wonder is that the form
er haven't tried their hand at killing long
before this. Mr.. Meeker, or, as he is fam
iliarly known in Colorado, Father
Meekcr,r lodged complaint with the de-
partment at Washington against some OF
his wards, who had been guilty Of wrong
dong When TINS fact reached them they
proceeded to make things warm for their
agent. Mr.. Meeker called on the author
tiles to protect him, as his life and the lives
of his family were jeopardized. The secre-
tary of war ordered Gen. Sheridan to send
some troops down 10 Father Meeker's
agency, and this resulted in the dispatch
inc of the Thornburgh command.
While all this was being arranged, the
Utes were busily occupied in providing
themselves with improved guns. About
two weeks ago the sheriff at Rawlins gave
information TO the government authorities
to the effect that trader livingjust outside
the White River agency had sold the In
dams large number Of Winchester rifles,
together with an ample stock of cartridges
The Indians even sent runners to trading
posts in other sections to buy Winchester
guns. In the meantime the sQuaws Of the
band were firing the forests. The whole
country was lurid with blazing pines, and
it looked like determined effort on the
part of the Utes to smoke old Father
Meeker out of his situation.
This North Carolina Meeker form
erly resided near Dongola
His entire family, with two young mel
named Dresser, formerly of Anna, we believe
were of the parties whose lives were con
sidered in such iminent peril. .

THE impression prevails that John Ho-
gan was aquitted because the jury held that
the killing Of AFTER was an eScusable homi-
eide. Nothing could be further from the
truth The jury declared that Hogan was
guilty of the murder of AFTER, as charged
in the indictment, but that, being insane at
the moment, of tho killing he was incapa-
Bile of appreciating the enormity Of his act
and, therefore, was not responsible for what
he did, But, let the verdict tell its own
story. Here it is: 1--WE, the jury, ind
that the defendant is guilty of killing OF
Charles D. AFTER as charged in the indict-
ment; but that at the time of the killing
the said defendant was insane; and we
further find that he has permanently recov-
cred from such insanity" Certainly there
is no room for two versions of result that
is so plainly and Enthusiastically stated. Ho-
gan was pronounced guilty; but irresponsi-
bic, because insane.

The Chicago Times says: Governor
Palmer told reporter who ran over list
Of presidential possibilities in Illinois,
"You have omitted the best name in the
state, that of Lyman Trumbul.
Trnmbul is great man, who
would make great president"
Whereupon it occurred to the newspaper
man to ask if Judge Days wouldn't make
good president. The answer ~os' "Ho
would, indeed; and besides that he would
be a strong candidate. He is very popular
among the people Of this state" And so
say we, and so say thousands who will not
vote with the Democratic party unless Da.
Wis is its nominee.

JEFF DAVIS has evinced no purpose to
loosen his grip upon the property given to
HIM under the will of Mrs. Dorsey. 1t is
alleged that the hoary old sinner exercised
undue influence over the mind Of the weak
old lady--played the role of dead-beat
with the old creature, for full year or
more before her death. The heirs, whom
the sly old schemer would rob oftheir right
full inheritance, will fight him as long as
they have money or credit with which to
do battle; and that they have the sympathies
Of honest men everywhere, need scarcely be
added.

McKeazie-Wesb.

Mr. r. II. Mckenzie, whose residence is
at Yorktown, Bereau Co, and Miss Lovina
h. West, whose place of abode is at Tam
pico, Whiteside Co.. created great deal
of disturbance in this city last night. At
the heathenish hour of 10 o'clock, when all
good Rock Islanders are in bed, Mr. Nc
Kenzie must needs send for Mr.. Austin
Donaldson, cur worthy deputy county
clerk, cause him to open the clerks office
and issue license for purposes heTeinaf'
ter set forth; then he further pressed the
complacent Austin into his service by
sending him after hack, in which the
said Mckenzie, the said West, accompanied
by the said Donaldson, acting as Men
tor, took passage for the residence
Of the Rev. DR.. Westwood. After
sojurDiug within the said residence for
limited space of time, the above men
toned party re-entered the hack as above,
aud journeyed toward the Rock Island
House, where mine host Jarvis provided
comfortable quarters for the newly welded
couple
Mr.. Donaldson enjoyed his share in the
matter as much as If it had been his own
wedding, and the blushing fair one had
been his own bonuy bride.
God bless the happy pair,
May they all blessings share,
Broadcloth and silk to wear,
Plenty to eat and spare,

Secret Republican Caucus.

A dark lantern caucus was held at
States Attorney Parmenter's Office the
otter evening, the proceedings Of which
have just come to light There were
present the states attorney, al aspirant
for city attorney, and the two distinguished
British critics. The meeting was called
to order By the ''SeVen Years" end of the
Union, who stated that zoe must be doing
something; we are wasting time waiting on
the city chairman,and again, fellow citizens
and patriots, l say 1Ce must do something.
Without telling them what it was he want
ed done, he sat down.
An ominous silence followed the weighty
remarks of the chairman, and then the
Elegant" end of the Union moved that
zoe proceed to business
Seven years suggested that the appoint
ment Of chairman was in order.
The Elegant" end of the Union sug-
gested that the Seven Years end Of the
Union ill that position Without putting
it to vote the chairman said 1t was car
ried.
The Seven Years end of the Union then
suggested that the appointment of secre-
tary was in order. The three silent specta-
tors looked at each other, and some one
mildly suggested that the Elegant" end
of the UJ.ion act. Declared carried.
The chairman then announced that bust
ness was Ia order. No response. After a
lapse OF half an hour, the chairman once
more said, business is in order" No
response, Then the Elegant" arose, ad-
iusted his cravat, pulled down his cuff
bands, cleared his throat, brushed the
struggling hairs from his classic forehead,
and in stentorian tones said:
Gentlemen (pausel zoe are here t.
night on mission Of more than ordinary
Importance (pause) The question OF the
hour is, are we to DO trampled on, are we
TO be humiiiated, are we, | say, 10 be de-
prived of the rights Of an American citi-
zen? (Cries of, No, Never, from the
chair.) Shall we. gentlemen, (pause) shall
we, say, run this machine as we used to
run it, shall the cradle of liberty be rocked
by us, that is to say-I mean-ahem J.
gentlemen, growing vehemen,) shall we
say-have straight ticket, with oar man,
so that zoe can be Fixed" soEid, or shall
We not? straight ticket,-from the
chsir.l Gentlemen (pause) / leave this
momentous question in your hands The
Union Office is watching the proceedings of
this caucus with deep interest, | declare,
that is to say, zoe declare for straight
ticket" (The chair "Blarst your bloody
Heyes if we don't.") And then he wiped
the perspiration from bis classic brow, re-
adjusted his tie. put on his kids, fondled
his umbrella and sat down. Applause by
the chair
Then silence reigned supreme and after
waiting two hours for the patriots to ar
rive, the caucus adjourned subject to the
call of the British critics. And then the
seven years and elegant wandered 10 their
18th street retreat. Parmenter locked his
Office and the aspirant for city attorney,
slowly wandered homeward. 1t was the
thinnest kind Of thin caucus. Truly it
was a sad showing for the stalwarts.
