ScriouB Charges Against the Pollco Force Wbtch Ought to bo In- vostlffntod or Disproved Wlmttlio Chlof and Others Say. The release of young 8t.ockd.ilo , who wna found in a room at the Ores ton house intent on robbery , nnd who -discharged ( or lack of any infer irution filed ngaiijst him , lias given rieO to much talk and some needless VAsto of words. The direct chnrgo is mndo publicly that the cuuso of young Stockdnlu'a release was a financial not tlotnont. If BO public and serious n clmrgo is nurtured to pass without an investigation , the public have their choice between concluding that the crookedness ia BO far-roaching that the authorities shrink from touching the matter , or that they consider the par tiua making the charge so irresponsible as to merit no attention beyond a sim ple denial. Another Horious charge , made1 with equal publicity , is that a regular monthly assessment is made by the police authorities on the proprietors of houses of prostitution , rated ac cording to the number of inmates , and it is paid under the threat that if not paid the houses will bo pulled. It is claimed openly Hint this blackmailing clmrgo is susceptible of the clearest proof. Chief Field denies these charges'in tote , and in talking to a BKK repre sentative yesterday declared that if any evidence was shown to him point ing to such a state of facts ho would bo as ready aa any ono to prosecute the offenders. lie was aa much sot against blackmailing as any ono could bo , and would gladly BOO these mat ters shown up and would do all in hia power to BOO that justice was dealt out. Ho did not know that any such assessment process was going on , and if any one. had such fuu s they should give thorn up. Among others there is a great variety of opinions expressed. Some think the charges should bo promptly investigated by the council , believing that there ia something nt the bottom of them. Others think that aa fur aa the chief is concerned any sort of nn investigation cannot harm him , as ho has lived hero for yoaro , and occupied positions BO public that his record is known and road by all , but that nuch an investigation might show up some doings of others which would startle even the chief , who ought to bu con versant with the facts , out is not. A goodly number look upon the whole matter as u political move purely , and that it is sprung at this time merely for its oll'ect upon the coming election , and to gratify spleen and aid.in some personal selu inos to lift some up by pulling others down. POMB-iOY'S PLUNDER. Ho Gets Away With it Very Easily and ia Now Bolng Hunted for. P. H. Garrahor , of Plum Hollow , lias been having quito a number of men employed in building a barn , and hired a young man named Charles Fomoroy to superintend them. ( Jar- rahor ropoaod great confidence in his foreman , nnd having occasion to away , left with the latter the keys to his private rooms in his residence. Ho had not boon absent more than wo hourb when Pomoroy loft , Mid. 1ms not boon seen ainco. At the nine time thcro disappeared a new dross suit , a pair of fine boots , gloves , ilk handkerchief and other of the best irticlcs in Mr Currulmii's wardrobe. There were also taken a goodly amount of jewelry , which belonged to his wife who died about a year ago. This jewelry was in a case by itself , nnd included a gold neck chain , a gold band rinq , and various other valuable artiolos. No trace of the missing man or the stolen goods has yet boon obtained. Charge and Rotroat. E. II. Scott , of .this city , lately wrote an article which the State Regis ter doomed of suUiciont interest to its readers to publish , but Mr. Scott , by i grave mistake , neglected to ask pre liminary permission of the Nonpareil ; } f this city , whereupon the latter pounces down upon Mr. Soott nnd ' . "tho pronounces'liim. sophomore BOH of a discarded citizen of a city that declines to fight its battles in and over graveyards. " The vial of wrath thus uncorked is emptied oil the head of the yjung man and hia father' denounced - nouncod , for no other apparent reason than that the young man ilurod to exercise - orciso the common right of sending a communication to another editor upon a nutyoot entirely free from nil per sonalities. Rumors of n libel suit wore wafted in the air. and the next issue of the Nonpareil contained an editorial item stating that the mud-throwing wai nol done by "tho responsible editor , " ant that "had it boon noticed in the prool it would have boon Bupprosaod. " Thai the editorial columns are liable to bo trespassed upon by irresponsible writers being admitted , it ia a little difUoult for the public to determine which articles are authoritative anil which are not , Perhaps the first ar ticle , termini ; Mr. Scott "asopho- more BOH of ti discarded citizen , " was written by "the responsible editor , ' and the humble retraction was slipped iiv unnoticed by somoBcrib blor , who , noticing the confessed looseness in editorial nianagoiiiont had put this in on the sly. Tlio Non pareil should uao some mark to iudi cato Biich editorials as nro written by "tho responsible editor , " aiil Buch as ore written by irresponsible sponsible Bcribblera. " . "The ro poiifiiblo editor" should have ai asterisk , or Bomo other sign Bhowini , what lie is willing to father. As it i now the public is in doubt as to whether the accusation or the rutrac tion L ) Jho voice of "tho rcsjwnsibl editor , " both having the same oar- narka of editorial paternity. The slurs concernina "tho battle tver the graveyard" which are chinked n the first editorial , come with ill grace. Attorney Scott did fight the iroposod extension of a certain como- cry , and the Nonpareil wan pledged ; o his support , provided ' 'tho respon sible editor" could secure a ward delegation favorable to him inapoliti- ml convnntion' . Failing in thia the Nonpareil wheeled about nnd now do- ights in using it aa n tantnlizcr. If ; ho retraction was really written by "tho responsible editor" then the end lias como to the use of thia , rnd the public may rest easy in the belief that iho Nonpareil joins with Mr. Scott in rejoicing over the successful opposi tion to the proposed cemetery exten sion , CROWDING THb !

Two Mon Onrroto an Old Lady in n Passenger Depot and Tnko Her Satchel nnd Monoy. Clinton Herald. A robbery ns bold and honrtloBB aa any over perpetrated in Clinton hap pened nt the Northwestern passenger depot about 10 o'clock last evening. At that hour Mrs. Martha Ann Joffry , a lady nearly GO yenra of ngo , who nr- rived hero from Mnquokptn on the evening freight , was waiting in the depot for the midnight 'train cast , being en route to Eaton Rapids , Michigan , when two young men , atraiiKois , entered the room. On some pretext they engaged in conversa tion with her , nnd discovered she wns along , and watching n favorable op portunity , when no ono else was in or near the room , suddenly turned ofl the gas nnd seized the lady's satchel , also grasping her , commanding silence and searching her pockets. She wns so astonished nnd frightened that she could not call help , nnd the fellows having possessed themselves of her satchel nnd pocket-book , the latter containing ab'out $10 in money , has tily departed. The lady rushed to the door nnd culled help , and parties who had heard the noise were already running in that direction , but the thieves had vanished among the freight cars and escaped with their booty. It was desired by the police officers that the lady should remain hero , to identify the prisoners if captured , but she declined to so , being afraid of the recurrence of nu attack of heart disease , to which slio is subject , nnd being also in a hurry to reach her friends. She hud fifty conti and her ticket left , und como change was ijiven her by the employes about the yards , she departing east by the night train. This afternoon Marshal Whitson , ivho with the other police officers had been on a sharp lookout for the rob bers , arrested two men who are be lieved to bo the gnrrotors , they nisworing the lady's description ex- ictly. The satchel was also recovered , uid a dispatch sent to liar to that ef fect. Both men are in jail. IOWA BOILED DOWN. The Oscar Wilde lectures nt Dubuque tha latter part of the im nth.
