Politics have been taking up so much
of our time during the past few weeks
that we have neglected some passing
events of interest, among which was
the advent of the Daily Evening Post,
the new Democratic paper lately started
in Denver. 1t is a simon pure Demo-
cratic journal; is bright and newsy, and
is geographically very handsome. 1t
fills a want in Colorado journalism and
should receive the hearty support of
Democrats throughout the state, but
there is only one way to support it, and
that is by sending in yonr name and
subscribing for it. 1t only costs S275
for one year, by mail, which is remark
ably low for good daily paper.

Viewed from both financial and

little ''kick coming on the Waite adj
ministration. 1t furnished us with a
fruitful subject of discussion during the
past few months; also, an amount OF
official patronage far in excess Of any
thing ever before had at the hands of
a previous administration. But, like
the Rocky Mountain News, THE HER

Waite and his administration, first, last

stances.

Several months ago John Mcl.anch-
lin. Of Clinton. deputy county re-
corder there, committed suicide.
Within . few days facts have come
TO light that give rise to the belief
that he took bis life that he might
avoid public disgrace. It appears
from evidence, though it Is not
proven. that he committed a forgery.
Tho case has local bearing.
Mclaughlin came to Davenport,
and made application to the German
Savings hank there for loan Of g..

near Clinton. He was acting as
Quinlan's agent in the matter.
Quinlan is his brother-in-law, rs it
happens. and man worth $50. 900 to
$4,000. reported, with no incnm-
brances. The application was all
straight. The mortgage was made
out 10 the satisfaction Of the bank
and the cash was forwarded to
Mr.. Mclaughlin as MIR. Quinlin's
agent. 1t went in the form q check
payable to Mr.. Quinlan's order.
Was Never Recorsied.
1t now appears that though the
mortgage bears certificate of the re-
corder that shows it to have been
duly entered on the records, it has
never been recorded. There are
other evidences aside from this that
indicate that the mortgage was
forged. The check was cashed in
Clinton, but Mr.. Quinlan, it is said,
knows nothing Of any part of the
transaction: that the man who rot
the cash must have committed or
secured the forgery Of Mr.. Quinlan's
name as endOrser of the check. 1t
appears that the entire series of
papers. application. abstract of title
OF the property covered by the mort
gage, and the endorsement Of the
check, were executed with intent to
secure this money. The Democrat
says the forgeries have not been
proven in law, but there is no reason
able room to doubt that the sigma
ture of Mr.. Quinlan upon the mort
gage and as endorser of the check
were forged.

The Illinois Central Brass Robbers and
Their Work.
The trial of the two men accused
of belonging to the gang of Illinois
Central brass thieves. at Dubuque,
resulted Tuesday in the sentencing
OF Ernst Clark to 80 days in iais,
and the discharge of William Wal
lace. The confession of one of the
incriminated men, James Mccarthy,
shows that the stolen brass was dis
posed Of from points in this vicinity.
1t seems that Mccarthy, Wallace and
Clark. three others. Dwight, Bur-
dick. Richard Dale and another un-
known to Mccarthy, were connected
with the crime. Burdick was the
leader. Mccarthy has lived in Rock.
ford two years, and has known Bur
dick and the others six months. On
the night Of June 10, the party left
Rockford, and arrived in DUBUQUE
on the morning of the 18th. They
went into the yards and located the
stuff thew were after, and that night
secured it. Fifty-two car brasses
and lot Of babbit metal weighing
about 1900 pounds were taken.
They also secured IL plates from the
paper mill. A boat was secured and
the stuff taken across to Illinois and
buried in the sand. The next night
they loaded it in boats and took it
down the river.
Some shipped From Here.
1t is said that from Fulton part Of
il was shipped by Burdick to Mil
waukee and the rest from Rock ISL
and. Burdick had agreed to pay
each of his accompiices one cent for
every pound of metal secured. which
would be about SIS apiece. Nc
Carthy was afterwards arrested on
another charge and told the jailer of
the brass robbery here, and he COM
municated it to the Illinois Central.
On McCarthy's evidence Burdick was
sentenced to 10 months in Joliet for
receiving stolen property. Clark
and Wallace are now disposed Of, the
unknown man cannot be found, and
Dale is serving term in the Rock
Island Jail for petty offense.
