ABnd Gang OverhnuIed.

The police have just caught six members of q
gang of young fiat robbers who have stolen
thousands of dollars worth of property from
uptown fats in the last ten months. Charles
Ferguson, IS years old, and Edward Ryan, 20
years old, were captured by detectives last
night in a pawnshop where they were selling
the jewelry, clothes and pictures they had
stolen. Early this morning Edward HERMAN,
l6 years old. the pal of "Red" Hickey, leader of
the gang was caught in the act of climbing out
of cellar window. The police tied clothes
line around Herrimsn's waist, SO that he
couldn't run away from them, and at the
muzzle of a revolver compelled him to show
them the dive where "Red' Hickey lived and
laid his plans for his gang. The leader was
surprised in bed, and was handcuffed before he
could get his revolver. Two of his pals were
caught at the same time. The modus operandi
of Hickey was to visit a fat as book agent.
If the fiat was occupied he tried to sell his
book. If unoccupied he went through it by
means of skeleton keys.

The sensible view.

Over-the>river residents interested in
the bridge must bear in mind the success
of the project depends upon them doing
their duty as well as on those on this
side. This we supposed was always the
understanding of the case, till we heard
that some on that side were saying Mus
catine was able and willing to do all that
was to be done to make it a success. A
holding back on the part of our Illinois
neighbors and failure to extend the
material aid" they should give may
thwart the whole scheme yet.-Musca-
tine Journal.
The Rock, Island county farmers take
the sensible view of the matter. They
fail to see who, but Muscatine Is to profit
by the proposed bridge. and that why, in
the face of such facts. they shall be
called upon to contribute their hard
earned money, when they can come to
Rock Island. the county seat of theil
own county, city in their state-and
be treated just as well without being
taxed for it. Muscatine will wait few
years for its bridge, if it waits for the
Rock Island county farmers to help
build 1t.

NYhladh.

Nybladh, the former Moline pastor is
still a subject of notorietY. Failing in
his attempt to vindicate himself before
the Galesburg conference, he and his
Galesburg followers concluded to organize
Universalist church, and ordain Ny
bladh as pastor. An attempt to secure
some of the Universalist elders to per-
form the ceremony proved futile, so the
deposed and much advertised preacher
secured two of his own diciples to do the
formal work for him. He wrote out the
text of the speech which was to be read
ordaining him (Nybladh) to the Univer>
salist ministry, but when the good disci-
pie came to deliver the Grafton, his
courage failed him completely, and, he,
in short, baked, and could not be in
duced to proceed any farther. The ord
nance was dropped. 1t remains to be
seen what Nybladh will do Lext.
